TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

Washington is grateful.
individuals and business organiza-
tions have early taken the oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation OF
the sacrifices made by members of
the police and detective forces and
the Home Defense League by falling
in with the suggestion made yester-
day by Saks and Company that a
fund be raised to provide for the
families of those who gave their lives
in combating the mob spirit and ra-
cial feeling which held Washington
in it's grasp from Saturday night un-
til Tuesday night.
This mornings first mail brought
subscriptions to the fund amounting
to nearly a hundred dollars and
messengers and later mail expected
throughout the morning will swell
this amount.
Bradfords Detective Service inclos-
ed its check for s25 with the nota-
ton that the contribution is only
slight token of it sesteem for Wash
ington's police department.
George d. Horning. a well known
business man here, in sending his
check for $50 declared that the fund
for the unfortunate families of the
policemen was a worthy movement
One of the earliest downtown bust
ness men to show his sanction of the
movement to raise a large fund was
L. Jacobs. a merchant tailor of Alb

Senator Williams Protests.

Senator Williams of Mississippi pro-
tested against Mr.. Brandegee's com
parison of the Presidents conferences
with senators to an attempt to tamper
with individual members of a jury.
THE Senate" he said, lis not jury
at all. What possible object could
there be in employing such phrase? ~
The only possible purpose must be
to leave an insinuation. a suggestion,
that the President was doing an i'm
proper thing as a lawyer would who
argued his case before jury and then
went about seeing individual jurors
about it. a performance for which a
lawyer would be promptly disbarred.
The Constitution requires the Presi-
dent to take the advice and consent
of the Senate in connection with ap-
pointments and treaties" said Senator
Williams,
The senator accuses the President
of doing this because he has been see
ing part of the Senate. talking with
individual senators, and insists that
the President ought not to consult
some. but all. members of the Senate"

Former President Taft. who has
written to several republican sena

"Go Home and Leave Her Here. .

Gathered on the corner was a crowd
of thirty or more colored men, wom-
en- and boys. They were singing as
Mrs. Brennan and her brother ap-
preached and no thought of an un-
usual happening was suggested until
one member of the crowd said: GO
home and leave here here; we'll take
care of her"
Immediately a short, thick-set man
in the crowd drew a weapon and dis
charged a shot, aiming the pistol in
the street and not at Mrs. Brennan
and her brother. Sister and brother,
not knowing what might follow, hur-
ried into their home and telephoned

Women Appreciate Movement.

The women of Washington feel the
sacrifices that the wives and child rem
of the deceased defenders Of the city
have made in giving their all to bring
Washington back to the orderly state
in which it has always lived.
The sentiments in this respect are
well reflected in a communication to
tthe relief fund, incloSing SO. from
Mrs. Helen D. Hoffman, wife of a
naval officer of this city. Mrs. Hoff-
man says:
Enclosed is $40 for the police fund
and Home Defense League. I wish
to say that no drawer, finer or more
courteous set of men can be found
than our Washington police. AS
public-spirited citizen, taxpayer. wife
and mother, l feel that a great in
justice is done these brave men,
whose lives are in daily danger, that
their salaries are so small that when
they sacrifice themselves upon the
altar of duty they should leave their
families destitute on account of in
adequate pay.
These men should receive sufficient
pay, so that their families should
not suffer when they so bravely re-
spond to the call of duty and in so
doing lose their lives. 1t is a shame
and a disgrace that when a man
gives up his life to protect others
his own family should be left unpro-
tected.
"I am glad you are doing this good
work for the fund, but I feel this is
only temporary. Help this worthy
cause by urging decent pay for those
brave men,
