PRIESTS DENY ALL
mitchell CHARGED
One Declares Charity Trust"
Sought to Secularize Insti-
tutions.
TRIED TO TRAP THE MAYOR

New York, May 26.--Roman Cath
ole olergymen whose telephone wires
were tapped during the investigation
of charitable institutions took the
witness stand today before the exec
utive committee headed by State Sen
ator George f. Thompson and denied
the charges OF Mayor Mitchell that
they were involved in a conspiracy
TO discredit the city administration
through attacks upon the Department
OF Charities.
They made the counter allegation
that the mayor played a prominent
part in a conspiracy designed to dis
credit the administration OF Catho-
lie orphanages.
The priests asserted that after dis
covering their telephones had been
tapped they deliberately planned TO
trap the mayor by pre-arrsnged con-
versations and that they were sue
oessful in their purpose.
The witnesses who appeared today
were Monsignor John J Dunn, Mon
signor Luke J. Eyers, the Rev. Viii
liam B, Farrell and the Rev Joseph
=. Dineen.
In reply TO a question early in the
examination, Monsignor Dunn ar
raigned what he called the charity
trust"
Its one and only aim" he de-
clared, is the secularizing OF all in
situations"
The witness declared that the char
itics department had a plan to farm
out to $4,000 families the $1,000 chill
dren who were in institutions in this
city.
1--WE want religious influence sur
rounding our children" Monsignor
Dunn said, and the Catholic church
never will permit its children TO be
taken from il.

A VAN LEAR MEETING.

There was a good attendance at a
Van Lear meeting called by John A.
Dickerson, in the interest of the Ne
groes. Geo. w. Holbert was secre-
tary. The Republican National and
State ticket was endorsed, excepting
MR.. FRANKSON. Mr.. Holbert made
a good address on the value of Or
ganization. Mr.. Dickerson introduced
the speakers. The meeting was a
purely LANGUM one, Mr.. Van Lear
made good talk complimentary to
our race, but did not discuss the is
sues or make any reference to Mr..
Langum. He was roundly applauded.
Tommy" Jones make a short talk.
Mr.. Van Lear made a good impress
sion, because he is great man. Ne
groes respect him, and it was plainly
seen that he had only their sympathy
and not their vote.
Like "Old dog Tray" he is in bad
company; so far as his party goes.

A BIG FIZZLE.

The meeting held by Mr.. Mont

viewpoint, but successful bread and
butter proposition" After the men,
bers of the State Committee had fall
len for Montgomery's bull" and for
warded from Chicago, Honorable
James Hale Porter to deliver the
Hughes Grafton; they insisted on
Montgomery being the one Negro
who represented all the Negroes in
Minnesota, and if one heard him talk
and seen his capers, we would readi-
ly know, why some white men choose
such Negroes as representatives of
their race. The emancipation celebra-
ton stunt was called off, and Phil"
Hale, filled in with his defunct Roose-
welt Club, which cramped the whole
act. The attendance was very small,
and the committee members, who at
tended saw the scheme. 1t is with
regret that we must show these things
up, and it is no wonder that some
white people, (after they disregard
the warnings given them) refer to a
supposed leading Negro as foxy

THE MAN FOR MAYOR.

Otto Langum, sheriff of Hennepin
Co., is candidate for Mayor. He is
opposed by Thomas Van Lear, an
honorable man, the representative OF
the Socialist party and Labor Unions
Mr.. Langum has showed his fairness
to the Negro citizens during his long
term of office as sheriff. He has
never permitted any discrimination
against them in the discharge of hi
duties, and has been especially i'm.
partial to those who were unfortunate.
ly confined in his custody. There is
no segregation of Negroes in the
County Jail, in spite of the general
pressure brought to bear, and the
customs elsewhere. Mr. John M. Al
lison, one of the deputy sheriffs, is a
member of our race. He is efficient
popular and is next to the oldest in
service in the sheriffs' office. Mr.
Langum makes no personal promises,
but seeks the Negro vote on his rec
ord as citizen and public official. He
believes and proves that the Negro
is entitled to public office. and, II
elected, we may rest assured that Ne
groes will enjoy the same treatment
under his administration as other
citixens.

SOME PASSION AND, PREJU-
DICE

Judge Michel of St. Paul, is a can
didate Off reelection. He recently
set aside a verdict for 5000 damages
in case where a respectable Negro
girl sued white proprietor of a
laundry. The evidence showed that
he had slapped her face and used
abusive language to her. The verdict
was set aside on the grounds that "the
verdict was so excessive and must
have tbeen brought about by undue
passion and prejudice. We question
Would such verdict have been set
aside, had the plaintiff been a white
woman and defendant a Negro?l
Judge Michel is candidate, and the
Negroes have a chance to defend
their womanhood by their ballots.
They will do this by voting for C. F..
McNally.

A POLITICAL ESTIMATE.

There are 1900 Negro voters in
Minneapolis. Their vote will decide
excepting few legislative and alder
manic) any candidates fate. Anal
ysis show that every thing will be
close. The Negroes should poll l,5OU
votes. The entire population is about
$4,000. The entire vote is over 60.
600, about three fourths will be polled.
1t will be close contest for Hughes
or Wilson landslide. The Negro is
factor. Mayor Haynes, whom the
Star supported 6 years ago, was saved
by about II votes. The National
situation is critical. The campaign is
clean. Votes are not on the market,
therefore, you cannot vote for the
highest bidder, but for your manhood.
That's Hughes"
We publish complete account OF
the Negro Voters League, not to
boost individuals, but to show the
Caucasian citizen, many who read
The Star, and the loyal as we'll as in
different Negroes, who were not pres

conduct our meetings accordingly.

A VITAL QUESTION.

The question, Would candidate Van

take no part in strike troubles,or call
on the police to prevent strike? is
The vital issue of the Mayorality CAM

gum, because that during his office as
Sheriff, he has used his police pow
ers at all time for the maintenance
of order by prevention of disorder.
The Socialist propaganda officially
speaking, is Utopian, but it is prac-
tically unavoidable. A recent case ap-
peared in police court when Socialist
girl, under her Interpretation Of law
of compensation, believed she had
right to steal from rich family. The
Negro, especially at this time, is .
vital factor in the labor world. He
is being recognized as skilled la
borer, but the unions have not given
him equality Should a strike occur.

COURT REFUSES TO LET
MAN ADOPT NEGRO GIRL

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 25.-Clif-
ford Yarbrough, broker of Pulaski,
Tenn, asked permission in Circuit
Court here to-day to adopt Eugenia
Murray, 17-year-old daughter of a
negro woman, upon the ground that
he was the father. He said he want
ed to right his wrongs and make the
girl his heir. Judge Givens refused
the request, although written per-
mission of Alice Murray, the mother,
was given. Judge Owens said to
grant the permission would have the
same result as permitting intermar-
riage of the races.
Yarbrough was married six years
ago and recently separated from his
wife. He came here February Is. 3
