BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
DEAD
Born in Slavery He Was Lunch
con Guest of Roosevelt in
the White House.

Tuskogee, Ala, Nov. IA
Booker T. Washington, foremost
teacher and leader of the negro,
died early today at his home, the
Tuskogee Institute. of which he
was founder and president.
Hardening of the arteries follow
ing a nervous breakdown caused
death four hours after DR.. Wash
ington arrived from New York.
A widow, three children and
four grandchildren survive. John
II. Washington, a brother, is SUI
perintendent of industries at
Tuskogee Institute.
DR.. Washington was born in
slavery near Hale s Ford, Va. in
1857 or 1853. After the emanci-
patton of his race he moved with
his family to West Virginia.
He entered Gen, Armstrong s
school for negroes at Hampton
and worked his way through an
academic course, graduating in
1876. Later he became teacher
in Hampton Institute, where he
remained until 1881. when he or
gained the Industrial School for
Negroes at Tnskogee, to which
he devoted most of his attention
during the remaining years of his
life.
An incident of Washington g
career made him the center Of q
nationwide discussion during the
administration Of President
Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch
with the President at the White
House, either by formal or infor-
NAL invitation. There was a
storm of protest from many quar-
| ters and aonte hostility was shown
toward the negro educator after
wards.

Austrian Aviators Shell Verona.

Rome, Nov. 14.--Thirty per-
sons are dead in Verona us a re-
suit of three Austrian aeroplanes
dropping bombs on that city.
Thirty other persons were serl-
ously and 10 slightly injured.
The bombs of the air craft found
most of their victims in the prin-
cipal square of the city, where
citizens and peasants from the
outlying districts were attending
the market. Nineteen persons
were killed by one bomb.
The aeroplanes visited various
parts Of the city, but none OF the
missiles dropped by them fell near
any of the military buildings.
This is the second time Austro-
Hungarian aeroplanes have made
a raid on Verona. Last July an
Austrian machine dropped a doz-
en- bombs on the city and then
escaped notwithstanding fire
directed at it by the forts defend
ing the city. Verona, next to
Venice, is he most important
town of the Italian Compartment
to of Venetia, and is distin-
guished by it's striking medieval
palaces.
