Nobody has gone to Jail yet.
II is "a hours since The
Star called Humphreys bluff
and Humphrey said positively
that he would put an editor in
Jail within y hours il The Star
dared 10 say that he directly
influenced the purchase OF the
duckpond postoffice site. He
made his dare in Bremerton
Wednesday night.
The Star promptly called it.
And for emphasis, The Star
repeated the fact that Hum
phrcy did influence the pur-
chase Of the duck-pond.
And still nobody has gone
to jail.

STAR ACCEPTS
HIS men; NOW
IT'S HIS MOVE

Federal Judge Cushman and Superior
Judges Ronald and Frater are to hear the
charges against Will E. Humphrey.
These judges named by Humphrey last
night are acceptable to The Star and since
there is no need of more than three members
to hold the investigation, The Star with
draws the names of its proposed judges and
is willing to rest the case with the three Sc
lected by Humphrey.
Humphrey in his speech last night also
declared that he wanted all of the charges
that have been made against him laid before
this committee.
HEARINGS MUST BE OPEN
The Star accepts this challenge willing
all of the conditions laid down by Hum
phrey. The only thing that The Star insists
upon is that the hearing be held in public,
that the testimony in full be giUen to the pub
lie and that Humphrey put up his 81 900
forfeit in advance.
All Humphrey needs to do now to get
the investigation under way is to name the
time and the place at which it is to be held.
If Humphrey wants to go back into the old
mileage-graft charges, The Star will be
ready.
The Stars case against Humphrey will
be very brief, and it will be entirely of a doc
umentary nature. ne Ot0f Will lntrOOuCc
the congressional records showing that
Humphrey voted for the mileage graft by
which he was to draw $1,000 for making
trip which he never made.
The letters that Humphrey wrote to the
treasury department in connection with the
postoffice site, particularly the one in which
he urged that the deal be put thru without
delay and the one in which he said that the
price asked was reasonable, will be prac-
tically all of The Stars evidence in the
duck pond case.
Since The Star has accepted all of Hum
phreys judges and is willing to accept his
terms and is willing to let him name the
time and the place for the investigation, it
is now Humphrey's move. The one condi-
ton which The Star insists upon is that the
hearing be held in public, that Humphrey
put up his ST ,OOG forfeit and that he posi-
lively agree to withdraw from the race
when the charges are proven before the in
vestigation board.

United Press stat, correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. /.
President Wilson may re-
ceive notification that Mon.
days scheduled national rail-
road strike has been ordered
called off simultaneously
with the formal notification
tomorrow at Shadow Lawn
of his denomination for the
presidency.
The senate plans to rush
the eight-hour bill thru be-
fore it adjourns tonight.
Sen. Newlands introduced
the senate bill at 2 p. m.
Actual legislation intended
to prevent the railroad strike
was put under way shortly
after noon today, when the
house adopted a special rule
under which, at 4:30 this aft
ernoon, it is proposed to pass
the Adamson eight-hour bill.
All arrangements for I night
session were completed this
afternoon. Senate leaders said
they would remain In session
even after midnight to get .
vote. They said the bill which
the senate will put thru will be
the same AZ the Adsmson
(house) bill.
THE bill will 90 thru the sen.
ate tonight" said Senator New.
lands, chairman Of the Inter-
state commerce committee In
charge OF u.
The statement Of senate re-
publican leaders this afternoon
that they will not seek to OBJ
struct the legislation increased
confidence Of the administra.
ton in the belief that the
strike crisis is as good 40
ended.
The rule was not adopted with.
out objection, but the democrat ma.
jority held the debate to one hour.
The house debate on the ADAM
son bill began almost simultan-
eously with introduction into the
senate OF the similar senate inter.
state commerce commission bill for
an eight-hour law.
This had been perfected during
a recess granted TO permit re-
publican conference.
Cheer G. o. p. Members
Republican Representatives Lem
root and Cooper, Wis. announced
they would vote not only for the
special rule, but for the Adamson
bill.
Il dislike the attitude OF haste"
said Cooper. but | object to the
charge by Representative Bennett.
New York. that the railroad men
are forcing the legislation with a
gun against the head of congress-
The railroad employees did not bring
this case to congress. They are not
trying to hold up congress.
Brotherhoods Law Abiding
The president brought this case
here. There is no more law abiding
body of men In the world than
members of the four great brother
hoods
Lenroot Joined Cooper in declar-
ing the president is responsible
for the present crisis"
The president told us Tuesday
this crisis had been threatening
the nations life for year. Why
did not he. and why did not you
democrats do something before this
IL he and you knew of the impend-
ing calamity No one believes
this is really an eight-hour law. II
is merely legislating the employees
an increase in pay"
Shotgun Procedure"
shotgun procedure" is what Rep.
resentative Bennett called the ac-
tion of the brotherhood leaders in
saving only an eight-hour law can
prevent the strike Monday.
Republican Senate Leader Gal
linger said:
There will be no obstructive
tactics. The bill probably will be
passed by tomorrow night

To perpetuate the work of Booker t.
Washington mt Tuskegee institute it
is now proposed to raise n fund which
will make permanent foundation for
the work carried on ut the institute by
him and now under the able charge
of Robert r. Motion. Tuskegee insti-
tute has accomplished vast deal of
good for the Negroes-both for those
who have attended the school and for
those who, while never within its
walls. have nevertheless protited by
the principles inculcated there. Tus-
kegee institute has also been a valued
help to the white people of the South
in their efforts to assist the Negroes
to become useful and efficient part
Of humanity. Certainly every South
erner will be glad to see ample funds
placed at the disposal of the institu-
ton to insure its permanence in
widening scope of labor for the best
interests of both the races.

In her official position she visits the
cafes, dance halls and other places
frequented by Negro juveniles. She
is So highly regarded by her people
that as soon as colored mother finds
on her hands an unmanageable daugh-
ter she at once notifies Mrs. Robinson
and leaves the matter in her hands.
And it is well attended to and usually
the girl is brought around to a decor
Gus frame of mind.
Mrs. Robinson is aiming to estab-
lish an orphanage for colored children
in Los Angeles and is meeting with
support among the white people. There
are 1000 colored orphans in California,
and few places provided for their care.
While in Colorado Mrs. Robinson
took an active part in politics. She
was the first colored woman to attend
convention in that state and later
was in the convention which selected
delegates to the national convention
which nominated Roosevelt for the
presidency. 1t was she who seconded
the nomination for mayor of Jesse f.
Mcdonald, an obscure mining man of
Leadville at\that time. Later he be-
came governor of Colorado.
The house of deputies of the Protest
ant Episcopal general convention, in
session at st. Louis, adopted an amend
ment to the convention authorizing
provincial synods to elect suffragan
bishops for any diocese in the prov
ince to have authority over any par
ticular race.
The amendment, If it is adopted by
the house of bishops and approved by
the next general convention, will be
solution for the present problem of
racial Episcopals, which has been
urged particularly because of the Ne
pro parishes in the church. The suf-
fragan bishop would be under the di-
rection of the diocesan bishop.
Opposition to the amendment was
voiced in the house of deputies on the
ground that Negro never could be "a
father in Christ to Negroes"
In reply it was urged that as there
are now Negro clergymen there was no
valid objection to Negro bishops for
Negroes.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-12-09

The movement of Negro laborers
from the South in large numbers dur
ing the past few months has created
considerable discussion in the public
press, North and South, and not a little
concern in parts of the South, writes
correspondent of the New York
Times. A striking feature of most of
this discussion is the absence of state
ments about the migration of Negroes
before the present movement. The mi
grafton of Negroes northward in con-
siderable numbers year by year for
the last two or three decades has been
quietly going on, although it may not
have attracted much attention.
The indication of this movement
since 1880 is shown by the percentage
of increase of the Negro population of
the following nine Northern and bor-
der cities: Boston, Greater New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Ev-
ansville and indianapolis, Ind, Pitts
burgh and st. Louis. The. census fig
ures for these nine cities showed that
between 1880 and 1890 it increased
about 36.2 per cent from 1890 to 1900
1t increased about IA per cent, and
from 1900 to 1910 about 37.4 per cent.
In the first decade the increase was
more than three times the increase of
the total Negro population; in the sec
ond period it was more than four times
as large and shows the influence of the
economic disturbances of the period.
In the last period the increase was
nearly three times larger than the in
crease of the total Negro population.
The rate of increase in the southern
cities has been large, although less
than that of the northern cities during
the same period, indicating that SINH
lar causes were operating to draw Ne
grOes to southern cities, although these
causes were weaker than those Oper-
stng in northern ctues The percent
age increase of Negroes in 10 south
ern cities was, from 1880 to 1890, about
3S.7; from 1890 to 1900, about 2O.6;
from 1900 to 1910 (16 cities with addi-
ton of Birmbinham, Ala.), 20.6 per
cent. These percentages are based
upon census figures for the following
cities: Wilmington, Del; Baltimore,
hiu. washington, II. u; Nor1olk and
Richmond, Va; Charleston, S. c.; At
lanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga. !;
louisville, KY; Chattanooga, Memphis
and Nashville, Tenn. Birmingham and
Mobile, Ala, and New Orleans, La. 1t
may be added in passing that from
1880 to 1910 the increase of white pop
ulatiOn in these southern cities has
been very similar TO that of the Ne
grOes.
The causes of this movement during
this longer period have been the same
as those affecting the Negro popula-
tion in the last few months. The only
difference has been the increase in the
volume of the movement because of
the increase in its influencing causes.

belief in the efficacy of music as n fac
