COLORED CONGRESS
REPUBLICAN EFFORTS TO CON
TROL ITS ACTION
THEY ALTER THEIR MINDS
Wiser Counsels Prevail—Another At
tempt to Be Made Today—A
Baseball Match
PASADENA, Aug. 4.—(Office of The Her
ald, us East Colorado street.) This afternoon
and evening were devoted to the exercises
of "ladies' day" by the Afro-American
Leagtu congress in G. A. R. hall. State pol
itics again occupied the congress during the
morning session and the lively times in
augurated by T. J. Jean's opening speech
last evening were renewed. The colored
people have demonstrated that they have
among them a large element of intelligent,
even brilliant, orators and thinkers, but
they have also shown very plainly that
these orators can influence them to agree
to almost any new proposition which is
properly framed in rhetoric.
Last night three motions by Secretary T.
13. Morton were almost unanimously ca
rted. Today these same motions were turned
down and the record was altered to suit
the sentiment stirred up by subsequent ora
tors. This was done when the minutes of
last night's meeting were read. Secretary
Morton had recorded his own motion "that
this congress pledges itself not to adjourn
until It lias indorsed a colored candidate for
a place in the fall campaign"; also Mr. Mor
ton's motion that the convention pledge It
self not to indorse any white citizen or
party. President Bebree was unwilling that
such a record should go on the book of the
eongrwss, because it was not the sentiment
of the delegutets. a large number of the del
egates having been absent when the mo
tions were passed. Jackson of Los Angeles
stood by this declaration and criticized Sec
retary Morton. There was a warm debate,
during which Secretary Morton, who Is well
known as a loyal friend of his race, de
fended his position in an able manner. J.
C. C. Jackson. J. L. Edmonds and T. J. Jean
of this city sided with the secretary.
The result was that the records were al
tered and some of last night's proceedings
were wiped out. Mr. Morton's motion, as
finally set down in the adopted record, was
made to read as follows: "This congress,
hereby pledges itself not to indorse tiny cit
izen S"<e any place on any ticket until such
candidate has been nominated for the of
ilce."
There Is a movement for the Indorsement
of Henry Gage for governor, and tomorrow
It Is likely that a number of Los Angeles
/politicians will try to overturn today's rec
/ ord and indorse Mr, Gage. Mr. Morton pro
poses to fight to the death for" his convic
tions.
Tomorrow evening the congress elects
officers and there is a great deal of Interest
being manifested In the caucuses. Among
the names mentioned for president are U,
W. Wj'Cllff of Los Angeles, the favorite, T.
B. Morton, and 11. W. Turner for secretary
and C. C. Flint. 8. C. Young and others for
different offices.
The exercises this afternftn and evening
under the auspices of the Woman's j*fro-
American league were presided over by Mrs.
T. J. Jean ot this city. Mrs. Fred Douglass,
widow of the- famous Fred Douglas, was
to have been present to deliver memoirs r
her husband, but was unable to do so, and
sent her regrets. Mrs. C. W.,H. Nelson
offered prayer; Miss Carnahan sang a solo;
Mrs. Ruth Brown Thompson, daughter or'
John Brown, f ad a sketch of her father's
life; Mrs. W. A. Brinkiey of Stockton made
an address and Miss J. B. Fry rendered a
piano solo.
Tomorrow afternoon the delegates will he
driven about the city In carriages. Saturday
there will be an excursion to Mount Lowe

Infirm—Many Disgruntled
BAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 4.—The
"push" ami Iho "pushed" returned last
night from their little political pilgrimage
to Hedlands, the former full of enthusiasm
and the Joy that comes from success of
well-laid plans, and the latter full of drug
store prescriptions. The former were hi
lariously happy and the latter righteously
wrathy. When one of the defeated and
Ids friend, "the Jedge," mot a delegate up
a dark alley they were about to chastise
him for his desertion, but friends sailed In
on them and blows from tho mouth and
not on It wore all thut wore exchanged.
The llrst fight of the convention was on
the assemblyman, and when the push cur
ried that there was a scudding to cover of
all candidates but those of the push. They
scented danger, and with such a head to
the ticket they considered that "election
expenses" would bo money thrown away,
and the rest of the ticket wont in on the
acclaim order, resulting In the selection of
six candidates from San Bernardino, two
from Hedlands and one each from High
land, Cotton, Ontario, Chino and Etiwanda.

superintendent and clerk. Even its best
friends concede the lcket has many very
weak points.

A COOL ROBBERY
THE S. P. DEPOT AT SAN BERNAR
DINO BURGLARIZED
Over Two HundrecJ Dollars Taken
From the Ticket Office in Broad
Daylight
| SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 4—During
the noon hour today thieves entered The
ticket office of the Southern Pacific depot
on Third street and broke open the cash
drawer, which they carried out into the
baggage room and rifled its contents, get
ting safely away with the booty. The per
son or persons, for probably two were en
guged in the deed, chose th*ir time well
Tho waiting room is not closed at noon, and
separating; it from the ticket office is an
Iron railing along tho eJgf of the cuiinter,
with a door at the end of the counter. Tho
thief must have climbed over the ratline,
gone to the front windows and pulled the
curtains down close, broke open, the cush
drawer, carried it in through a door that
If never locked Into the baggage room and
rifled it of its contents, which consisted of
between $200 and $800.
The baggage room Is locked by a padlock
on the outside of one door, but the sliding
doors on the side for the receipt of bag
gage are only fastened by a hasp on the In
side, and it was the. work of only a moment
to slide these doors*, opentand step out and
on to Third street. ' The deed could hardly
have been done by one man, but a second
to ussist the robber over the railing would
seem to be almost a necessity for quick
work. The agent was absent only a few
minutes. There is no clue to the robbers.
