Claim Made That the Decision Was an Insult to the Race—Attor- ney Jonen’ Commen The Metropclitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th streets north- west, was well filled last evening with | cclered people, who assembled to hear | discussed the case of Attorney Thomas L. Jcnes, who charges that he was refused a cup of tea and a sandwich at a down-town lunch room, unless he would consent to }eat in the kitchen. Before 2djouraing those present voted to afiliate themselves with the Negro National Protective Asso- ciation, which has for its object the se- eurirg for colored people all the rights to which they sre entitled under the laws of the land. The meeting was organized by the elec- ticn of Prof. John M. Langston, as chair- man; W. Calvin Chase, vice president, and Rev. Dr Robert Johnson, secretary. These Gfficers were later constituted the officers of the newly organized auxiliary to the na- tional associaticn. . After prayer by Dr. Johnson, Mr. Lang- ston made a lengthy address, In the course of which he said: “I nave seen many changes in the advancement of the colored people in this country. Sometimes we seem to have reverses; our cause seems to go backward. Then we bestir ourselves more visorously and undertake to educate public sentiment in our favor, and again we begin to move forward, better perhaps than ever befor Mr. Langst said the appointment of Powell as minister to Haiti was a great compliment to the colored race of the United States, for it was no small thing for any man to represent this country at a othpre M Co., 731 ngs remade.

Police Officern Follow Alleged Clues Hoping to Find Foults. Precinct Detective Sutton and several of- ficers of the first precinct went within the borders of the second precinct last night between 9 and 10 o'clock on a “sure tip” in search of murderer Dorsey Foultz, but they returned to their.own precinct without him. The information received was that Foultz had been stopping at Susie Clark's, in a stable in rear of Kim Lee's laundry, on 7th street northwest. betwen M and N streets. Precinct Detective Barnes of the second precinct, in which the murder occurred, had also received this irformaticn, and had intended going to the place after midnight, for he felt certain that there wouid be no chance cf getting him earlier. But the | information the first precinct officers had received they thought, could be relied up- on, and so they went to the combination stable and house and made the search. While the policemen were in hiding the woman appeared, but she did not remain long at the door. The officers followed her, and saw her communicate with friends but not yet have they scen the fugitive. Later Susie returned to her rocm, and the police afterward gave up the pursuit and returned to their own precinct. About midnight a colored woman, named Fannie Grammar, called at the second pre- cinct station and claimed to have seen Dor- sey Foultz in O street alley. The ofticers dutifully visited the alley erd made a search, but they had no idea that Fannie had really seen him. She had been im- Libing a little too freely to be wholly re- sponsible for her statements. The officers have received scores of so- called clues, and have been frequently told of the murderer's alleged bold movements about the city, but it is believed by many of them now that he left the city soon after committing the murder, and has not been here since. man to be innocent when all the evidence offered showed him to be guilty, filled him with alarm, for if it could be done in a lunch room case, there Was no reason 1 could not be done in a murder case or trial for any crime. The committee on resolutions submitted a report; which, after being discussed by Thomas L. Jones, E. M. Hewlett and others, was adopted. Mr. Jones’ Speech. The principal speech was by Mr. Jones, who, in part, said: “It is a sad commentary upon our na- tional escutcheon that 80,0) colored Amer- ican citizens have cause to complain of the treatment of one of its number accorded 1 by our white fellow citizens. seems that loyalty to country, pa- triotism and love for our national insti- tutions and the sacrifices made and su tained on the part of the coiored soldier, ng the b e us no specia to citizenship, 1 the enjoyment of our civil and politi- rights under the Constitution of our al ountry.

At the regular monthly meeting, last evening, in the parlors of the Riggs House. of the Woman's Suffrage Association of the District, a paper was read by Miss Jane Hozack of Holland on the subject of woman suffrage in her country. She said that a society had been in existence for three years, and is in a flourishing condi- tion. Under its direction a paper is pub- lished which advocates the political equal- ity of women. An account of the history of woman's suffrage in this country was given in a paper read by Mrs. Pelva Lockwood. The paper was, Mrs. Lockwood stated, prepared at the request of the fermer Attorney Gen- eral, Mr. Harmon, for the Swiss minister, to be incorporated in a book soon to be published by that government. It will be sent to Mr. Pioda in a few da; The subject of women in the government departments was discussed, and M. Ruth G. D. Havens stated that there was a larger proportion of women reduced in sal- ary than of men. Several disputed this statement, and the discussion became ge eral. Miss Cora D.

ROME. Pastor of St. Parish, Again at Home. Father Glaab, the pastor of St. Mary's Mother of God Church, 5th street north- west between G and H streets, returned last evening to this city from Rome, where he went eight months ago to take a course of study in cation law. The congregation of St. Mary's Church had made prepara- tions for an elaborate reception to the pas- tor this evening, to which many of the local Catholic clergy and laymen were to have been present, but he telegraphed from New York, declining the honor, and the re- ption was abandoned. Father Glaab comes back to Washington with the degree of doctor of divinity, an honor sufficient in itself. When he ‘left Washington last November it was with the intention of staying longer than he did, but he completed his studics at the Apollinaris College at Rome much sooner than he ex- pected. ‘The doctorate in the Roman Catholic Church is considered a great honor, being borne by comparatively few of the clergy, and is only conferrred after hard study or upen priests or prelates of eminent ability. Father Glaab will not resume charge of St. Mary's parish until some time next week, the church in his absence having been administered to by the Rey. William Futterer. While ir. Rome Father Glaab saw Arch- bishop Keane quite frequently, and states that the latter expects to come back to America for a vacation this summer, and that he will visit Washington while in this country.

Tomorrow night Prof. Therald Jerichau, one of the most accomplished pianists that Washington has known, will give a piano recital. His idea is one of the most prac- tical yet conceived by musicians who are anxious to extend the circle in which classi- cal music is appreciated. The average au- ditor, even though he may be fond of music, is likely to grow weary of the highly finish- ed products of the composer's art because there is no definite idea upon which he can fix his mind, and so reach a sympa- thetic comprehension of the performer's mood and purpose. Wagnerian music, whiie regarded with indifference, if not with aver- sion, by many sincere music lovers, is al- most invariably worshiped by those who have taken the trouble to analyze and be- come thoroughly acquainted with the poetic suggestions which he undertakes to con- vey. A composition, like a picture, should be beautiful in itself. But as a picture needs a title to acquaint the spectator with the artist's source of inspiration, so the great musical compositions require some accompanying suggestion in order to make their real qualities apparent. A waltz or a march speaks for itself of revel or of battle. The mind intuitively makes the association, and such compositions, it they possess merit, become instantly popu- lar, their vogue being the greater because they are essentially simple in their struc- ture. Rhythm and nothing else suffices to impress what the composer's meaning must have ben. In the case of a classical com- position, there must be previous informa- tion, just as Hamlet's soliloquy cannot be | appreciated by a person who does not know who Hamlet was, or as a religious painting would be with but little meaning for a man who is ignorant of sacred history. Prof. Jerichau’s purpose Is to perform se- lections of the highest type, at the same time describing exactly what is intended to be conveyed. Catholic Knights of America. Dr. Joseph A. Mudd and Mr. J. A. Madi- gan, who represented the several District councils of the Catholic Knights of Ameri- ca at the recent sessions of the Supreme Council at Mobile, made voluminous and interesting reports last night to a meeting held at Carroll Institute. The reports ex- plained in detail the proceedings of the Supreme Council, which resulted in changes in the constitution. President John Elbert was in the chair, and before adjournment Dr. Mudd and Mr, Madigan were given a vote of thanks.
