HIGHWAYMEN ARE SENTENCED
FOUR MEN CONVICTED OF HOLDUPS
IN NORTHEAST.
Victims Tell of Attacks by Vicious
Gang?Six Months in Prison
for Each.
Fbur young men. ranging in age from
twenty to twenty-two years, said by the
authorities to be responsible for a reign
of terror in Northeast Washington, were
arraigned in Police Court this morning
upon charges of assault and petit larceny
and each given sentences of six months in
prison.
The defendants gave their names as
Richard Brighth?*rt, Raymond Gibson.
Harry Pages and Charles Kyler. They
were arrested last night by Detective
Johnson and Policeman Dellamico of the
ninth precinct.
l.urking in alleys and about dark corners,
the gang would pounce upon passers
by and relieve them of valuables. That '
crimes of even more serious nature have J
not been committed is attributed to the
fact that the police have l>een on the trail
of the quartet for some time.
In court this morning Edward Ooates
and Richard Miles appeared as complain- |
ants. At different times they encountered : 1
the defendants who held them up. beat J )
them and relieved them on each occasion ,
of property.
Miles stated that they waylaid him in 1
an alley several dayn ago. After taking 1
his small change, car tickets and several j ?
small articles they knocked him down : i
and pummeled him unmercifully until ids I ]
cries for assistance frightened litem away. I <
After he gathered himself together, tlie ' 1
witness said, he reported to the police i
and gave them an excellent description | <
of his assailants. He identified each of j i
th? quartet. 1
Coates testified that the same gang held <
him up as lie was returning from a saloon 1
to his home with a bucket -of lteer. Fail- i
ing to find anything valuable enough to '
carry away, the thugs dumped his beer ; i
on the ground and beat him over the head |
with the bucket. | 1
.Before imitosing sentence the presiding \ !
judge warned the culprits that they may ! 1
expect to he severely dealt with should : J
they resume their activities after serving '
the sentence imposed today. The quartet (
strenuously denied guilt and insisted a
mistake had been made in their arrest.

linen similar to those adopted by the 1
forces of organized labor. I
The plans of the independent negro ;

which- is being sent broadcast from the <

lhlct is headed: "In a Republic the Ttallot .

It calls upon all the negroes in this conn- .i
ry to work for the election of William J. 1
Bryan to the presidency. t
Rev. ^. Milton Waldron. president of the I
National Negro American League, has re- ]
urned to this city after an extended tour j
>f the northern states. He said the col- ]
>red voters of those states are flocking to 3
he banner of Bryan and Kern. He also

vas reliably informed that because of his j
ictivity in connection with the Negro j
\merican Political League and Its work t
or Air. uryan an enori is iu oc nmuc iu t
lrive him out of the District of Columbia.
"This Information came to me." he said,
from prominent leaders in the District to
vl:oni at least two white republican work>rs
for tne present administration let it
>e understood that they were simply passnp
alonp the orders that had come to
hem from Mr. Taft and President Itoose,-elt.
I don't propose to be driven, threat>ned
or bullied into abandoning: the work
n which I am now engaged for the pood
>f the nepro race. I will keep at it with
ill my vipos, because independence In
politics is the only redemption for the^
tepro in this country."
Appeal to Negroes.
The appeal now being sent out to col>red
voters in the states says, In part: s
"The National Nepro American Political .
league Is a confederation of twenty na- .
:ional. state and district political orpanl-. ,
cations of intelligent, Independent and .
-ace-lovlnp colored men, with branches ,
md members in every state of the Union (
vhere the nepro resides in any considers- (
lie numbers.
Its object is to organize and train the ,
colored men of America to use their bal- ,
ots to secure for the race every right ,
guaranteed it under the Constitution or
he United States.
"While the National Negro American
Political League is a political organizaion.
it is neither republican nor dcmo ratic?
it is independent in politics and
>eeks to have its members vote for the
neasures, the men and the party which
vill best conserve the interests of the race,
since the republican party?the party
vith which most negroes have affiliated
n the past?has deserted the principles of
_,incoln. Grant and Sumner and become
he tool of corporations, designing politi ians
and predatory wealth; and since
ts representatives in Congress refused to
>ass the Foraker bill for the restoration

convention placed its seal of approval
upon 'lily whiteism' in the south; 1
and since the republican party approves 1

amendments; and since the republican
party has failed to make an honest effort 1
luring the last twelve years to enforce s
:he fourteenth and fifteenth amendments (
:o the Constitution; and since it has, under (
Lhe leadership of President Hoosevelt, I
ietermined to eliminate the negro from <
politics, the National Negro American 1
Political League advises its members and
ill other colored voters to vote for Mr. 1
tVllllam J. Bryan next November as be- (
ng the most effective way of rebuking '
;he republican party and bringing it back ]
.0 Its original principles and securing for j ]
:he negro justice and proper recognition j 1
it the bands of said ppi'ty.
Vote for "Manhood.''
"Every vote cast by a colored man for
IVilliam J. Bryan is one vote cast for
the manhood and political rights of the
race and two votes cast against William
H. Taft and the Roosevelt policies. Every
cote cast by a colored man for the so ialist,
Independence or prohiition party
is one vote east for the manhood and
political rights of the race and a half
rote cast against William H. Taft and
the Roosevelt policies.
"By being an independent in politics
ind voting only for the best men and
measures the negro will win for himself
the recognition of every political party

In every section of the country, and will
materially help in solving the race problem

Among the former whs Alex. Ross, the j

FRIEND OF MAN AND WOMAN
Weakness and General Debility
Cause of Death?Story of Worry
Over Financial Losses Denied.
NEW" YORK. August 27.?Antonio Pastor,
the famous vaudeville actor-mantger.
who gave many prominent actors
their start in this country, died at his
home, in Kerry Cottage, on Whitney
jvenue. Klmhurst. L. I., shortly after lt?
o'clock last night, lie fell asleep at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and did not
tgain awake. r>assing away peacefully.
Yt the time of his death there were at the
Oedside his wife, her cousin. Mrs. James
stack: the hitter's son. Hugh; Dr. G. !>.
Harwell, the physician who has been atending
him during his illness, and II. S.
Sanderson. who has been manager for
VIr. Pastor during the last thirty-seven
rears. Had Tony Pastor lived until next
May he would have been seventy-seven
fears old.
The cause of death was weakness and
reneral debility. Mr. Sanderson said last
light that he wished to contradict any report
that his friend's death had been hasened
by financial worry or that lie had
lad a paralytic stroke.
Tony Pastor was reported seriously ill
\ugust 14 last. He had been at his Elmlurst
home since that time, under tlie
are of Dr. Farwell, but a few days later
t was given out that his condition was
mproving. About a week ago'he recovered
sufficiently to be out of bed and
yalk about the room, but was shortly
"orced to take to his bed again. Since
hat time he hud been sinking rapidly,
ind his weakness became every day
nore noticeable. When he sank into sleep
resterday it was expected that he might
lass away without waking, and Ids
'rlends were summoned to the bedside.
Loses His Theater.
The story of the death of the old maniger
comes to tho public with special
pathos. Early in the summer it was
innounced that he had given up the lease
)f his theater, next to Tammany Hall,
md it seemed as if the old man's life
ivere ebbing away with the passing of his
'amous amusement resort, for Pastor's
s to become a burlesaue theater, and
?ven Tony, though he stubbornly denied
hat he was going to retire from business,
idmitted that the patronage was not
s-hat it used to be.
In spite of his troubles Mr. Pastor coninued
his almost fatherly interest in
everything connected with the stage, and
lis annual Christmas party to the chiiiren
of the stage. He was present at the
Lheatrical field day held at the Polo
Grounds not long ago.
"I expect to have a new theater upown,"
he said that day. though his exsression
was not as optimistic as his
vords. "Tammany offered me a renewal
>f the lease of the old house for five
rears, but I did not dare to take it for
nore than one year, and so it has slipped
jut of my hands. The locality is all different,
anyhow."
Pastor's Career.
Mr. Pastor was born in Greenwich village.
New York city, in 18K5. His father
a-as a musician, who played in various
jrchestras and theaters. East St. Patrick's
day he celebrated his forty-third
mniversary as a manager, keeping the
rustom of an annual celebration begun
twenty-three y*ears before. At these celebrations
he always appeared himself and
ianced and sang some of the songs he
tnade famous long years ago.
The manager's public career began
when he was six years old, when he sang
iuets with ex-State Senator Christian B.
Woodruff at meetings of the Hand in
Hand Temperance 8ociety. This was In
1843. Even then he showed his inclination
for the stage so plainly that his father
took steps, entirely futile, of course,
to discourage him, and sent him into the
country. But he gave impromptu performances
for the farm hands. It was
soon after this, in 1846. that tie made his
professional debut at Barnum's Museum
tts an "infant prodigy."
Traveled With Circuses.
In his early days he did almost everything.
He joined several circuses, where
lie combined acting with clowning. At
one time he was a ringmaster. When on
tour with one of these old circuses, which
aid not give performances in the evenings,
he tried his hand at management
by giving concerts in the local scfioolliouses
and halls with such good results
that the circus manager drove him out of
business by annexing the idea for ills
>wn use. At another time he was "bones"
in a minstrel show.
The beginning of the civil war in 1861
round Pastor at the theater at 444 Broadway,
where he stayed until 180T>. It was
then that he originated the "Illustrated
song" Idea and used to bring down the
house by singing patriotic songs and displaying
the American flag, urging the audience
to join in the choruses. He then
formed a partnership with Sam Sharply,
the old minstrel manager, In the conduct
jf the Volks Garden, at 201 Broadway,
where lie instituted "variety" and drew a
large clientele to his theater by giving
dean performances and forbidding smok- i
ing. In 187.*? he moved to his own thea- j
ter, at 5H5 Broadway. He moved to the,
theater In Tammany Hall in 1*81. and in
much of his career there also conducted
road companies.
Among the noted people of the profession
who first appeared under the management
of Tony Pastor were 'IAllian
Russell, May Irwin, Florence Bindley,
Francis Wilson, Gus Williams, penman
rhomp8on?who presented the rural
sketch from which "The Old Homestead"
ivas evolved?Jennie Yeamans, Pat Rooitey,
Nat Goodwin, Weber and Fields,
Vesta Tilly and Cesta Victoria. Maggie
Cline was also one of his finds. Dan
Daly, too. was among the number of his
proteges. . It was at his old Broaaway
house that he first Introduced "condensed"

BAD E66 SCANDAL TO STOP
COMMENTS IN PRINT ANIMATE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
| Washington to Be Cleared of Undesirable
Special Distinction by
Enforcement of Law.
Housekeepers in Washington are to
have fresh eggs this winter.
Selling ancient eggs at as high prices as
fresh eggs has been a practice under consideration
by the health officials for some
time. Drastic measures are to be taken
to break it up.
What is particularly disapproved of In
connection with traffic in eggs is the fact
that a tremendous amount of fresh eggs
is shipped into Washington and immediately
shoved in cold storage to keep until
market prices satisfy the dealer it is
time to sell to the public.
Laws are sufficiently broad enough, it
is believed, to cover this question. From
exoresslons I>f official* of the ili.n:ir?mjnl
they are determined to apply the law.
The food inspectors have already been
given orders to enforce It.
The sale of bad eggs in Washington
has been commented upon, not only In
this city, but elsewhere, according to
officials. A leading medical and health
journal recently contained an arti.le upon
this subject. It accused seuthern merchants
of shipping undesirable eggs to
Washington.
This was responsible for Dr. Woorward
directing Inspectors Mothershead and
Hoover to make inquiries. That was two
month ago. After talking with the commission
merchants, retail dealers and
others who handle eggs, the Jnsp-ctort
reported thai conditions were satisfactory.
From what the merchants told
them there was no truth in the article,
they reported.
Inspector Hoover s report was especially
interesting in view of the fact that lie
said:
"I have talked with retail dealers and
they have informed me that tlieir eggs
are all right and that they have received
no complaints from their customers."
Since then, however, there have been
complaints. The inspectors have been directed
to do more titan inquire. They
are to make rigid investigations.
According to one official of the food
division of the health department there
will not be so many eggs turned over
to the cold storage to "await prices '
when the health department gets through
with its work.
