contributed $.',0,000 personally and
helped to raise $200,000 from other

NEGROES CLOSED
THE CAFE
»l '« k I.AWYLKS 1XSISTKI) ON
LATINO WITH WIIITLS IN
WAHHINOTON.
A Washington dispatch to the
Richmond News-Leader says:
"One of Washington's exclusive
eating places Is closed—that was j
maintained for many years at taei
District Building by the Bar Atfso. j
elation of the District of Columbia - j
because of the 'Jim-Crow’ sign that
went up there a day or two ago.
"For many years the lawyers of
Washington have maintained their
own safe or cluhrooni in the basement
of the District Building, and its
personnel included the leading bar
risters and judges from many of the
States in the Fulon practicing be
fore the courts of the District. The
cafe was a popular rendezvous for |
them during the half-hour recess that
the courts took at noon and during I
the long years of Its existence had
I e< ome one of the most favored pin- ^
ces in Washington by downtown law- '
yers.
Now the cafe Is closet, a id there
is a possibility that I* may not be I
reopened any time soon A few’ days
ago a negro lawyer practicing In the
courts of the District went Into the
«afe and, seating himself a* one of
the tables alongside several of the
courts officials who had dropped in
ior their midday meal, picked up one
of the menu cards * o J began to make
out ills order. The manager was
called and asked if It was customary
to allow n *groca •>» lunch in the
cafe.
I ne manager was a woman from
one of the Southern States, and she
promptly notified the colored barris
ter that his presence was not desired
nnd requested him forthwith to re
tire. He did so, but immediately
filed a complaint with the marshall
°f the District, who in turn notified
the eafe manager that unless she
allowed colored people to patronize
her place just the same a3 white peo
ple ho would have to order Die room
closed, ns he could not allow any
discrimination to bo radioed so long
the cafe was in a Federal bond
ing In file district. He was then In
formed that the eafe would be cloned
If he so desire!, but that as long as
«he was its manager negroes would
rover be served by her; that she had
never permitted them to eat at its
tables before nno ‘hat It would, *n >re
<>ver. ruin her white patronage.
Tho mnrshail was obdurate and
Incited that negroes would have to
he served as white patrons, with no
n.stlnetion whatever so long ns they
behaved themselves and paid the
manager, and forthwith the place w*s
closed. This proved a matte,* of such
Inconvenience to the judges and oth-,
ers who were accustomed to going
to the cafe that a truce has bc^n
patched up for the present pending a
setiement of the matter.
.vienmimo the manager of the
safe and her patrons are trying to
figure out whether it is wiser to ad
mit colored people to one section of I
the room. t0 be provided exclusively
for their own accommodation, move
to another building near the present
location not under Federal control,
nr allow the marshall to close the
place. If Is Insisted by some of the
colored people who desire t0 he
served along with the white patrons
»n the cafe that even If its location
Is changed they will follow It nnd
demand that they be treated exactly
like white people. The settlement
of the question will undoubtedly be
watched with keen Interest.
"The Washington liar Association
has never admitted negroes to Its
membership, and the association has
on Its rolls the names of some of
the leading lawyers of Vlrglnln nnd i
other Southern Slates practicing j
here, ns well as those from other!
sections. Kven those from the North
nnd Kast have nlways protested
against the admission of negroes Into
the association, and fi.e question of I
whether they shall he permitted to!
partake of the privileges of the cafe
maintained by and solely for the
members of the Rar Association Is an
Interesting one In the District at this
time.”
The future prospects of Rluefleld
continue to brighten Our best citi
zens are coming to the front nnd
are aiding In a general movement
fer the betterment of conditions
Where there Is *o much Interest
manifested there is hound to ho
excellent results.
PROMINENT
REPUBLICAN
" ' “
MAKES A FEW PRACTICAL RE
MARKS AS TO THE IflKS
ENT REGIME.
Who paid for the miles of grano
lithic sldowsl? Did the city do it?
No; tho property owners payed for
it. Who paid for the sanitary sew
er? The city? No; we bonded the city
for the money and are paying an
enormous tax on It. and In addition
to this the property owners are com
pelled to pay from $35 to $80 and
even more, to connect to the sewer.
In addition to the tuxes the present
administration corn promised with
old Jim Hearn in his suit against
the city and gave hitn $1250.00 of
our good hard money to get his In
fluence to win the court house fight,
after having the records prepared for
an appeal, which we are informed
cost the city over $1,200.00. in ad
dition to an attorney fee of about
$000.00.
Who paid for paving? Tho city?
No; the property owners. Who paid
for the new charter and the expense
of Mr. Hawley, Mr. Hearn, Mr. Car
ter and others of the administration
who went to Charleston to lobby it
through? It was paWl out of the city
treasury. That money belonged to
tho taxpayers and they had no right
»o pay it out on their republican
schemes without tho consent of the
voters of the city. After they found
they had bit off more than they
could chew In regard to tho charter,
what did they do? Again the gang
was appointed a committee, appoint
®d *>y themselves, to go to Charles
ton to amend the charter and cut
off a part of the common council.
The city was too evenly divided and
had too much of a democratic com
plexion. So they cut the common
council down to eight, or one In each
ward, and two at large. This, they
figure, will guarantee the balance
of power to them. Who delegated
this power to these self-constituted
god-fnthors? Did the people author
ize it? No; It was quietly and stealth
fully done, by a part of the council.
What has become <»f the fire limit
cn Raleigh street? Ah soon as Mr.
Hawley got the old frame shnek on
that street he wan allowed to repair
It and build additions thereto. Mr.
Hilly was allowed to build a slab
shack on the east side of Raleigh
street In the tire limit. Well, yon
know. Mr. Hawley Ih I>ohs of (he
council and domineers everything.
If there Is danger of passing some
thing not In accord with his interest
there Is an adjournment taken until
the matter can he absolutely fixed,
then some one else proposes the
matter and Mr. Hawley opposes If
and blusters around a little and
wantH to take care of the people,
when lie Is assured by Mr. Hicks
It Ih perfectly fair and the people
demand It. it goes through like a
streak. Who Is Mr. Hicks? Well, I
thought everyone knew Mr. Hicks.
He used to keep a shaving shop and
Mr. Koutz, the Supervisor, was his
barber and kept the books.
Didn’t he have a mortgage on
your row? Didn’t he have a lien on
your furniture? Didn’t he sell you
any oil stock? Didn’t, he buy a gravo
wim and mind nonhob ovop the
graves? Didn't he build a lot of
sharks and sell them out to some
poor people at 4 00 per cent profit?
Don't he charge extortionate rents
for his sharks? Yes; Put ho Is going
to see that you got a full ton of
coal, so you can koop your feet
warm In these old shacks and pay
hi in his rents.
Why have so many offices been
created In this city? To take cure of
fho ringsters. Why couldn't the trea
surer's and the auditor’s office ho
consolidated or the recorder and (he
auditor he one man? Why couldn't!
the sergeant fake care of the jail?
Why couldn’t two good reliable po
lice Inke rare of the city In the day,
and about three of a night? They are'
never on hand, when needed. Why
»cnd out of the rlfy for a street rom- !
mlssloner, and give him a half dose i
foreman picked from the very n<'.nm
of the rlty to guard a like number
of unfortinafes?
They say this Is getting ts he a
grea* Pig rlfy and we must ext md
our corporate limits and create more
offices to accommodate fho llck
splHelg, and hold the thing together,
and consume the people's money.!
That Is the way the graft Is cnrrle I ,
on In a systematica way. It Is as plain
as the nose on a man's face. What
more proof do yon need, Mr. H. I ?
This can he proven and vouched for
bv every sensible thinking man and
woman In Minefield When you l>onst
of the imporvemonts you fry to de
ceive the people. The admlnlstra- •
• Ion did NOT make them The peo
ple made the Improvements and paid
for them out of their own pockets.
Well, you remember the court
house fight. Whose big bladder was
that? II. |,'s. Too narrow and small
to sefi an Inch from his none. He
boasted that the N. & W was with
u*. What did they do? Nothing. Why
didn’t they gi v together and induce
the iH*cp water to build It* lino
through Blue field? Did they make
any effort? No; they were afraid of
the N. & W. They might have in
curred the ill will of the water
work: improvement company, the
Virginia I .and company, which is
part u id pared of the X. & W. lty.
Company. Then the Chief Deputy
and the reat of the administration
were narrow enough to think they
had It all their own wav.
Well, what do yon think of the
county court? If llcnse is a good
thing every man that nils the re
quirements of th* law should have
them. They a«y there would be too
many and they could not make any
thing They must pay the license
tax at d why' should the court pre
sume to act a* guardian over any of
them They any they would vollate
the law If they gave license except
to tlulr particular fiends. Now, Isn’t
that c flimsy argument? The gist of
thv matter I*, where there Is com
petition they could not pay the large
rake off, and legitimate competition
Is shut off. Ho the state loses the
revenue or license tax and koine In
dividuals get It for perjuring thetn

Dover. Del., April 16.—What may
prove to be an Important duo in the
Marvin kidnapping case developed
here yesterday, when It was learned
that Dr. Horace N. Marvin, father
of the missing four-year-old boy Hor
ace, .1 «*.. received a message from
Bridgeport, Conn., signed "Percy A.
Darling" and reading "Got son and
abductors nearly in trap. Send de
tectives up.”
The mesa go was received last
night, and in the absence of Dr. Mar
vin was turned over to Myles Stand
dish. of New York, hrothcr-ln-lnw of
the Doctor. The father today had
Mr. Standi*)] wire the contents of tit*'
telegram to the Bridgeport authori
ties and ask them to follow up the
Hue. Ho was subsequently apprised
• hat Darling Is a Boston detective,
who, with two other sleuths, is at
work on the case. He was olso
Informed that these detectives think
•hey are on the right trail and that
they will capture the kidnappers and
recover the child.
Dr. Marvin remained in Denver
last night awaiting developments. Up
to a late hour nothing further lmd
been learned.
Tin* Plnkerstons and the distracted
rather yesterday again readied tint
outbuildings of the farina near the
Marvin homestead in tin* belief that
the hoy might have been mysteriously

Washington, April It. Waltor
Wellman Blurted from Washington
•or tuo north polo this week. Lieut.
Ilohort 10. Peary got two years* lOave
from the navy department to begin
tils dash. It Is airship versus dog
sled in what is probably tho last
act in litis A retie, drama, for otto of
•bent \'lll undoubtedly reach the
goal tltis time. Their rivalry is spur*
•cd by a strong personal feeling tlint
exists between the two.
Wellman has persuaded a public
at iirst inclined to scoff that ho moans
business with Ills airship experiment
and he cun convince most people with
whom he talks that the Hying chance
Is better than tlie dog sled method.
Peary's last expedition was the best
organized of any thftt over tried the
<>ld method and he got within sprint
ing distance of the pole, only to find
‘bo ice open. No experience or pre
caution that lie i an take will guaran*
'ce him an advance on ills next trial
to a point as far north as he reached
•bon. On the other hand luck may
favor film for ottco and give him the
solid frozen pathway straight, to tho*
glory of success.
Wellman must Bull ($00 miles to
’ ouch the pole and 000 miles to re-1
1 ui it. No dirigible balloon has over
made more than 100 miles up to the
present lime. Hut Wellman lias a
ready explanation fur Hint and mil
argument that sounds reasonable as
1,1 why bis airship will break all rec-1

to connect with the one established at i

does not have much to say about
