INCITING TO MURDER Comments on the Utterances at London Shears’ Funeral, Citizens Who Have Written to The Star Expressing Their Feelings at the Ministers’ Words. The Star is tn recetpt of several com- munications in regard to the shooting of London Shears by Policeman Curry, and the comments that. were made upon the event by the clergymen who officiated at the funeral of Shears. wer writes as follows: Mr. A. M. Gange- “Hate is a bad counselor, and they who permit their malevolence to control their judgment are not wise. I have been aston- ished and grieved at the spirit manifested by some of the reverend gentlemen who spoke at the funeral services of London Shears, who was shot by Policeman Curry. Conceding that some of the police act in a brutal manner toward the colored people, is the measure they propose to remedy the evil the proper one? The command comes sounding down the ages, “Thou shalt do no murder.” fessed followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, ‘Pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, to arm themselves with pistols to shoot the police, while doing so. These gentlemen have mis- taken their vocation. shooting in this town now, and their coun- sel is bad and wrong, and would aggravate the evil they complain of. their churches and pray that the spirit of Christ may fill their hearts and influence their lives.

One writer, after deprecating the allusions that have been made in some of the publi- cations to the colored people living in a certain section of the city, says. “Greater credit for fairness would have been gained among the better class of col- | ored citizens of that district had it drawn the tine of demarcation more clearly be- tween the reckless and the law-abiding classes. “To place indiscriminately all the colored residents of the eastern and southeastern section under the head of drunkards and Sabbath breakers is as untrue as it is un- just, and is no more applicable to the. col- cred residents of these localities collective- ly than to the white residents of the same section, collectively. Such a sweeping charge is resented as an insult by the law- abiding citizens, who, while deploring the existence in their midst of certain reckless and immoral characters, feel keenly the injustice of being classed without excep- tion as members of a lawless body. “If a person will take the trouble to ex- amine the saloons in the sections referred to, he will find that in point of numbers they are. far in excess of those found in other localities in the city. These drinking places are almost invariably kept by white men, who not only supply freely the poorer quality of beer and liquors to their colored customers, power to draw them to their vile dens. is a notorious fact, however, that should an errest occur and @ colored’ man falls into means in their It but use every the clutches of the authorities for violating the law, the saloon keeper is the first one to appear against him. And it {fs equally true that a colored prisoner is seldom giv- en the benefit of a doubt In his case, but almost invariably the full penalty of the law is imposed. This discrimination against the colored race hag naturally engendered 4 feeling of distrust against the whites, and will continue to exist as long as unfair treatment is shown them. “I, with many others of my race, do not approve the incendiary advice recently giv- en to my fellows, as such injudicious ad- vice cannot in the end but act as a detri- ment to all who follow it. gained by arraigning race against race.

The better class of the colored people have no trouble of the kind, and if the others do, it is simply their own fault. “It is the ever-present consciousness of the police that whenever they attempt to arrest one of these ruffianly negroes they do it at the risk of their lives that induces them to resort tothe pistol as a means of No one ever heard of one who being either they have to do is to behave themselves properly and they will have no trouble. If they won't do that, but will persist in their present course of violence and crime, they must expect to reap the results, and that is the lesson their elergy should impress upon them.” ‘The Officer Defended. “T." writes: “Z desire to express my humble opinion of the recent shooting af- ITCHING HUMORS, Torturing, disfiguring eczemas and every specles of itching, buroing, sealy, crusted and pimply skin and sea.) diseases, with dry, thin and failing hatr, relieved by a single application, and speedily and économically cured by the CUTICURA REMEDIES, when the best physicians fall. —but not a cuter or prettier little ing $25. per Christmas gift and’a rare bar- gain. $40 Solid Gold Watch eee ed etaec eal eee “SPIER'S,” 310 oth St. I have bigher-priced Ladies’ Watches For case—beautifully engraved—a_ su- fair, which occurred in South Washington, and which caused some few people to ex- press their ideas in regard to the use of pistols by members of the police force. They hold that a policeman should never use his wea, unless his life be in danger. They should bear :n mind the fact that a policeman’s life ts never free from danger. ‘There is always some tough, who in days gone by has been called by some officer to account for his many crimes, whose espe- cial delight would be to cripple the said policeman. When an officer is down and being beaten to death by some cowanily rough, should he grin and bear it? No: then is the time to shoot and shoot straight.

Let the officers use their weapons justly, and peace will reign supreme, for without J ence he police force where What Needed. Another “Citizen” writes: “I believe in the freedom of the colored People. I be- lieve the colored People should have their rights. And I think they are as good as the whites when they behave like them. But are they behaving like the whites when they make all this fuss about one of their race getting killed because he tried to kill a policeman? Haven't the po- lice a right to arrest persons who are dis- orderly? Do the whites hold indignation meetings when one of their number has been Killed because he resisted the law? If the colored people look into the matter they will find it is not so. A policeman is not going in any one’s house, elther black or white, unless he has just cause. The policeman is the friend of all law-abiding citizens, and an enemy to the law-breaker. Shall we hereafter have to look upon the Rev. Mr. Howard as a law-breaker? It seems very evident that they need Christ, and not pistols, preached unto them.” ——.__ INCRIMINATING LETTERS. John Henderson Well Acquainted With Important Criminals. A young colored man named John Hen- derson was arrested last night by De- tective Boyd and Precinct Detective Har- tigan for rebbing a slot machine in front of a barber shop on Pennsylvania avenue between 3d and 41-2 streets, and letters found on him show that the writer and receiver of them is acquainted with con- victs. In one of the letters mention is made of a murder, presumably in New York, in which a man was stabbed through the heart, and the writer also gave infor- mation about mutual friends. Some of the mutual friends had managed to get in prison, while the others had been released The letters had been written in New York and sent to Chicago, but were not addressed to John Henderson, and the prisoner says he was only keeping the letters for a friend. The prisoner, who is twenty-two years old, has somewhat the appearance of an Indian. He says he spent his younj- er days in Vicksburg, Miss., but has been in Chicago for several ycars. On one oc- casion h2 says be visited New York and remained there only about three days. Con- cerning the murder mentioned in one of the letters he says he knows nothing. His arrest was effected last night cnly after an exciting pursuit. The officers were on their bicycles and when they heard the cry “Stop thief!” and saw the man Detective Boyd followed him through <n alley, while Detective Hartigan headed him off on C street. In his pocke:s the officer found 47 pennies, a penknife and the letters. The prisoner seemed to enjoy the fact that the officers had to figure in so enciting a pursuit before being able to apprehend him. He was lock2d up at the sixth precinct station. Today the officers are making a further investiga‘ion and to- morrow the prisoner will be heasd in the Police Court. —_——__ Taunton Silverplate Coos Sale daily at 11 a.m., 3 and ) pm., at our sales room, corner 10th and Pennsylvania avenue northwest.

War- ner Esmrord Lee Ward, rector of St. Michael's =nd All Angels’ Protestant Epis- copal parish, and the vestry of the parish, have resulted in the resignation of the rector. St. Michael's and All Angels’ Church is at the corner of Virginia avenue and 224 street northwest. At the morning service jast Sunday Rev. Mr. Ward read the letter calling him as rector of the parish, his let- ter of acceptance of the same, then a note from the vestry asking that certain changes be made in the rervices and finally con- cluding with his resignation. All this was a surprise to the congregation. A warden of the parish when seen today refused to discuss the matter, though he admitted the fact of Mr. Ward's resigna- tion. It is said that the note from the vestry asked Mr. Ward to return to the order of services followed by the former rector, Rev. Clarence W. Bispham. Mr. Bispham used to celebrate every other Sunday the holy communion ai the 11 o'clock service instead of the morning pray- er and vice versa. When Mr. Ward came, about two months ag, he began to have communion every Sunday at 11 a.m. and would have the morning prayer at 9 a.m. These and sundry other matters in the line, it ts said, of extreme ritualism are what the vestry called attention to in their note, end consequently he resigned. Mr. Ward's friends say that he is a young divine of high character, and that, as he could not conscientiously make the change, the enly thing left for him to do was to resign. It is @nderstood that Bishop Sat- terlee interested himself in the case, but the conditions were such that it was im- Possible to effect a compromise. Mr. Ward Would have liked, it is stated, to pattern his church after St. Ignatius, New York, while the vestry would not have it so. Rev. Mr. Ward, accompanied by Mrs. Ward, left Washington yesterday for his former home at Newburgh, N. Y. Mr. Ward, before entering the ministry, was a lawyer in New York, and came to W: ington from Pittsburg, where he had be curate at Bishop Whitehead’s cathedral. St. Michael’s was up to several years azo a part of St. John’s parish, and has had as rectors the following: Rev. Reeve Hobbie, Rey. Jas. A. Clark, now of St. James’ Church, this cl Rev. Frank B. Reazor, Rev. Chas. M. Pyne, Rev. J. M. E. Mckee and Rev. C. W. Bispham, besides Mr. Ward. Nothing has been done yet toward se- curing a n2w minister. Joist—Heart—Kiln-Dried, 81.50 per 100 ft.
