BRIDGEPORT NOT
 ALONE IN ODIUM
 OVER WARRENITE
Continued from Page

Continued from Page 1 public contracts
 Why he has waived competition in pavements. in spite of his pledge is something he can explain better than anyb ody else.
 The New Jersey Committee reached a number of conclusions with respect to Warrenite and bituIithic. The lat ter is a higher priced pavement of the same general character as War cern, Warren Bros.
 seIesGmony has been presented to the committee from many competent t witnesses that an unpateuted pave ment of the bituminous concrete type two inches thick, which was the thickness of the Warrenite pavement Laid in the country, could be, and had frequently been laid elsewhere at PRICE NOT EXCEEDING 90 GENTS A SQUARE YARD"
 MT. Gillen swore that the city's as phalt plant was engaged in keeping much of the bitulithic pavement in repair and that the actual cost of producing, not including hauling and laying, was about IS cents yard In point of stability the repaired pave ments laid by the city under an un- patented specification wereA equal or superior to bftuhthic.''
 "A former representative of the Standard company, Ca Warren Bros subsidiary3, produced before the com mtttee detailed figures. said to have been taken from the original memor- anda made at the time. showing the exact cost account of the Standard company in connection with the lay ing of bitu1ithic in Weehawken.
 Tt showed the cost of producing bituhthic two inches thick to be 59 cents. The cost of hauling and lay ing was about 16 cents additional or a total cost of 75 cents. Adding 20 per cent. for profit, produced 90 cents as the fair price for laying a yard of the material.
 Of the "palpably dishonest conspir- qacy' between owners of patented paVements and public servants. the public had suffered in numerous ways. notably by deterioration of public morals, by poor pavements poorly inspected, made of poor ma terials and poorly laid, and by the overcharge for the work done. It is noted in Bridgeport that as between the Warrenite work done un- der state inspection and that done under city inspection, the city work seems much poorer.
 With respect to the claim that War renite is the best pavement of it's type, the New Jersey committee says: s'The unpatented bituminous con- crete pavement of the so-caIIed To- .peka types it was shown by the testi- mony, is as good as the patented ar tic1e and can be built for much less money

NOT ONE CENT FOR 1000 WHO
 HELD GRAND RAPIDS co. CLAIMS
Now the Purchaser of Bank
 rupt Stock Offers Special Inducements" to Persons Who Had Deposited Cash With Bankrupt Concern.

That the 1000 householders who had claims against the Grand Rapids Furniture Go. are being offered special Inducements to buy furniture of the defdnct concern was learned today. Of fcials of the B. & B. Furniture Co.,, which bought the Grand Rapids stock at the public sale a few days ago, visit ed the bankruptcy court today and ob- tained a list of those who had claims against the Grand Rapids Co.
 It is said that these people who paid sums ranging from ST to $17.50 for furniture they never received, will be offered a chance to get articles they select providing they pay half of the amount they had deposited with the Grand Rapids Go. Letters will be sent all over the state and another invasion of women may be expected when the sale is held at 2S6 Fairfield avenue, Saturday. It is not certain that the offer will prove attractive to those who lost in the Grand Rapids affair.
 There was a report today that some of the men connected with the firm which bought the Grand Rapids stock were also interested in the Grand Rapids Go. This could not be con f1rmed. The B. & B. Co. secured the stock by bidding the highest at the public sale. The purchase price was $4,550. As the expenses of ,adnninis- tration will be more than this amount, the creditors will not receive one cent on their claims against the Grand Rapids Go. The sale has been con firmed by Referee in Bankruptcy Banks.
 o. B. Smith of New York is the man who did the bidding last week and he will be the auctioneer at the sale which starts Saturday.

Town, Sued By Keegan,
 BIames Him For Mishap

The statement that Hugh F. KeeN gan, the local real estate dealer, did not have non-skid chains on his auto bobiIe tires when the machine, slid down a bank near Southbury, is one of the defenses of the Town of South bury in the $2,0Oo suit brought by Kee- gan against the town. The towns an- swer filed today in the common pleas court sets forth that Keegan did not have sufficient skill as a driver to tow another auto as he was doing at the time of the accident. It is also said that Keegan's machine was in defec- tive condition. Keegan planes the town because a broken fence along the road allowed the machine to slide down the bank.

Slotted throat rackets give tennis speed.

When a 15-ounce racket has a slotted throat,it weighs but IA ouncesl So it isn't a 15-ounce racket at all; says somebody.
 But it's 16-ounce size; and reach; and driving power.
 Actually it is more. That slotted throat gives it a spring and snap that usual racket doesn't have. It gains speed-and the player gains accuracy. Slotted throat rackets are entirely new-but they've been tested by ex- pert players who've found them a great advantage.

We only retard our work and de-
lay our cause when we single out a
back ward race and make the fight
for it. We should put them all to-
gether; Japanese, Chinese, Afri-
cans and Negro and make a
straight out fight for the backward
races and it would not be long be.

our labor
1.-The first thing to do is to CON-
bine tc stop all nimical legislation
on the part of our government.
This can be done by united effort
on the part of the Christian
Church. There are people that are
SO blinded by their prejudices that
they are willing to have country
place premium upon bastardism
by not allowing white man to
father his child and protect the
Negro woman he has betrayed.
This matter has got to be dealt
with in most fearless manner
As long as we wink at prejudice
and countenance immortality of any
kind-there can not be much real
Christian progress made. The
truth is, the times call for 'gor-
Gus opposition against all manner
of sins. The Gospel is the remedy
for all these ills; all we need to dc
is to apply it in the manner it
should be.
I'VE have seen the effects of
Christianity in civilization and the
industrial pursuits of men; we have
witnessed its initiation of reforms
and its place in home life, but its
chief excellence is in its effects on
human characters. Christianity
must, in the last analysis, be
judged by its ability to deliver
men from sin and uproot existing
evils-and this much needed work
it is doing.

handicaps, and being still further
back than the Orientals in the race
of life it will require a longer time
to achieve an equal place in the
human family. 1t is Christianity
and Christianity alone, that is to
level the barriers and give to these
backward races their rightful place
in the great Christian family.
America is the leader in pres
ent day civilization. She leads in
commerce, invention, education,
religion and social reforms. She
is given a wonderful opportunity
TO do service for God and human
ty in taking the lead in solving
the race problem on Christian
principles. I am of the opinion
that the purpose of God in allow
ing the black man to be brought
to these shores and to become a
part of this civilization was to pre-.
pare the white man by contact, dis
cipline and education, for world
leadership in the spread of pure
democracy aud Of the brotherhood
of man. Equal treatment, fair
treatment, just treatment, of the
darker races is the est of the white
mans religion. When the white
man can treat a Negro, Japanese,
Chinaman and African as BROTH
er, and accord him all the rights of
brother, that white man can pass
he is pure gold and fit to lead
any people and anywhere. [ am
expecting wonderful change to
come over this American people, a
change for the better, when all the
determinations, all hindrances
and barriers against the Japanese,
the Chinese, the Negroes and In
dians, etc, will be eliminated, and
all be considered brethren dwell
ing together with the white man in
unity and peace, and all the re-
suits of Christianity.
1.-The Christian Church can
hasten this great work. First, by
being more aggressive in insisting
upon the rights of men in the fu-
ture than it has in the past. Here
tofore. the church has been more
negative than positive, and this is
why the work has gone SO slowly.
The call has come for more ag-
gessive struggle than heretofore.
The pulpit should be called upon
to contend for the rights of all men,
regardless of race or color; ard
this the great Christian Endeavor
Society is doing. The press should

BOY BREAKS
GRADUATION RECORD

New Haven, Conn, July 10.-A
colored boy broke the graduation
record in the public schools of New
Haven, Conn, last week, when
Pritohett A. Klugh, the 10-year-old
son of Rev. DR.. d. S. Klugh.
pastor of the Emanuel Baptist
Church, graduated from the Scan
ton public school as the youngest
member to ever leave the public
school of this city. In the class
with young Klugh were $50 mem-
bers. all of them being IA years of
age ard more, and the appearance
of this young boy of color receiv-
ing his diploma at the age of 10
was easily the feature of the COM
mencement exercises. The record
that this boy has made has created
wide stir in educational circles
of New Haven, and is furnishing
topic for conversation among the
intellectuals that has sent the
stock OF the Negro race up in New
Haven 100 per cent. Investiga-
tiop has found that the record of
young Klugh in school was very
brilliant, and his work was warmly
praised by his teachers and the
principle of the school. Young
Klugh has been prominently men-
toned for a candidate for the New
Haven high School, which pre-
pares for Yale university, and
when he enters high school this
fall he will be the youngest can
didate to ever enter the New Ha-
ven high school, which makes the
feat of this boy record that the
whole race might be proud Of If
he keeps up his present record, he
will be ready for Yale university
at the age of IA, an age when most
boys are leaving the grammar
school. In an interview with Rev.
DR.. Klugh, the father. of young
Klugh, he stated that his boy was
perfectly normal in his play and
study. He is very found of study
stated DIR. Klugh, and that ac-
counts for his success in his stu
dies. DIR. Klugh said that his boy
was extremely fond of reading and
was also of mechanical turn of
mind. The record of young Klugh
will be welcomed Throughout the
country with much delight aud his
career will be watched with keen
interest. Rev. DR.. Klugh is one
of the most successful pastors in
New Haven, and his church is one
of the largest of the city.
