DID NOT THINK ACTION WAS ILLEGAL Acensed Oficlal Testifl with O . to Wi t Employes and Postcl De- viee Com 7. BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.—The hear- Ing of Postal Inspector James W. Erwin, indicted for conspiring with Beavers and Machen to defraud the government, wi missioner Heacock. United States Attorney Worth in the cross-examination went over mu¢h of the trip made by Erwin and Su- perintendent Richardson to Washington. At this ttme, Wrwin admitted, all his ex- penses were paid by the Postal Device and Improvement company, but he denied that he had seoured any return whatever for his wervices. ‘The inspector said he spent several days in Washington and introduced Richardson to Machen and Beavers with the postal device in view, He admitted that he thoroubhly indorsed the invention and sup- that bhe had told Machen = by the Invention and would order it In- #talled in the free dellvery system. When asked if he knew that Machen would be instrumental in securing the contract for the company, Erwin stated that he did not understand government procedure in mat- ters of this kind. Later he said that the contract for 4,000 devices came about three weeks after he left ‘Washington and that the order was signed by George M. Allen, acting as assistant postmaster general “Have you been told that Mr. Machen and Mr, Beavers held an interest In the company?” Hrwin was asked. @ replied: “I was told by Richardson several months ago that 1,000 shares of stock in the FPostal Device and Improve- ment company had been issued to a man named Harry Sieger, Lut that it was in- tended for A. W. Machen, and that 2,000 shares had been issued in the name of MoDonough, but lutended for George W. Beavers. I was not aware of the fact until told by him, although I had suspected sev- eral years ago that they were both inter- ested In the company.' district attorney asked If Erwin ew of any other officials in any way subsidized. An objection te this estion was sustained. The witness said aid not know that accepting shares in company was a violation of law. Postal Inspector Robert Mundo testified t he knew of the counts in the indict- t only at second hand. H. Bspy, secretary of the Postal De- and Improvement company, testified Erwin was not and never had been | H b 4 T that & director or officer of either company. According to Espy 100 boxes have been sold to this government for $4.25 and $4.60 aplece, and the company had sold 1,000 to New Zealand for $6. “What 18 the cost at the factory of the Qevice?” he was asked. “Two dollars and seventy-five cents: Adding expenses, the cost is $3.33. Mr. Richardson as president got $75 a month. As secretary I was paid $50 a month,” He sald that Richardson did hold 11,000 shares of stock,' but that he now holds only 7,000, as he has sold the remainder. Richardson's profits in dividends, he ssid, had been §1,800, while he had derived $3,300 in salary. The district attorngy objected to the ‘n- troduction of evi about Richardson, but it was admitted. The case went over il Monday.

HARMONY IN THE BIG SIXTH Republicans Hear Hchoes from the Session at Washington Hall, Harmony was the whole of the song at the All Sixth ward meeting in Idlewild hall last night, and the members of the Bixth Wdrd Republican club and the members of the Solid Twenty-six met together with the simple friendliness of the earlier part of the interview between the llon and the lamb, There was a big bunch of candidates and each made short talks. The general senttment was as {ollows W. A. Reddick: “I attended the meeting last night and have never before felt so well since I have been & candidate. I felt the atmosphere was cleared as it had not been before in two years. It looked -as though things had been fixed so none of our friends can be hurt. These ward meet- ings, though pleasant, will not be neces- sary after the primaries, because on Oc- tober 6 we will have & united party. Some personal contests may now be a lttle acrtmonious in some localities, but we will all drop this with the primaries." H. P. Stoddard: “I am Impressed by the harmony of the candidates. I have heard no acrimonious words spoken and to my mind this means that the successtul candi- dates will get the support In the election of the unsuccessful and the voters will follow the candidates. I was pleased with the words spoken at the meeting last night and I think all will agree that the repub- lcan party 8 & united party and so will carry everything. After the meeting T be- lMeve that there is no such thing as ma- chine or anti-machine.” The other speakers followed in much the same strain, all belng enthusiastic over the harmony meeting of last night. Robert Smith told how he hoped to save the county $5,000 or $10,000, and promised if he should be elected and fail to do this he would never again be a seeker of office. W., W, Bingham sald that party success is of more importance than the personal success of individual candidates. Sam Walkup, Willam Btockham, Charles Unitt, James Allen, T. J. Donahoe, Hepry Ostrom, Coroner Bralley, E. J. Broadwell, J. H. Tullis, Nelson Pratt, J. H. Miller, W. W. Enstman, W, A. Foster, Willlam Altstadt, 1 Kenworthy snd Chatrman A. J. Morrow also spoke.

NEGROES ON RACE PROBLEM Prominent Negro Leaders of Washington Preparte Statement on Question. SOCIAL EQUALITY IS NOT NOW DESIRED Senator Cormack, Who W Bs Prepared io Urme R Fifteenth Amendm. nies Report. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—The views of conservative negro leaders in this city on the race question have been formulated at & conference between Rev. Dean Rich- mond Babbitt of the Church of the Epiph- any, Brooklyn, N. Y., and the following prominent colored citizens: Rev. Francis Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Baptist church; Prof. Kelly Miller of How- ard university; Judge W. Lyons, re of the United States treasury; Cyrus Fleld Adams, assistant register of the treasury; John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbla; Dr. O. M. Atwood, Thomas R. Clarke and Whitefield Me- Kinley. , Dr. Babbitt has devoted much time to the study of this question and was chosen at the recent Chautauqua meeting to reply to the argument of John Temple Graves. The composite views, expressed in signed ©opinjons of these eight colored leaders and submitted to Dr. Babbitt, follow: The 8§ ing of race prejudice is oc- casloned by appeal to race passion by poli- ticlans. The cure for the prejudice 18 Ihe application of Christlan morals and re- liglon and the just execution of the laws. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to_the constitution should be held intact, It is not the desire, wish or purpose of the negroes, as a race, to seek, malntain, emphasize or teach soclal equaliiy with the whites as a consequence of equal political rights and they urged strongly that the negro's education should not be limited to industrial training. They believe that the number of crimes charged to the race had been grossly exaggerated by thelr enemies; that the real facts should be collected an published and that the ciergy of their race - should teach strongly against these crimes, They urged a tl orough organization of thelr race under capable leaders and an appeal to the press and to the moral and religious sentiment of the country, and especlally to the white clergy. They op- posed the idea of a separate political party. Will Not Urge Disfranchisement. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 26.—The Amer- fean will say tomorrow that Senator B. W. Cormack in an interview today said thut he would make no effort to securé the re- peal of the fifteenth amendment. He said: I am sorry that'the impression has been created that I am preparing to agitate this question in congress. A reporter was dis- cussing with me an articlo I had written on the race question and asked me if I intended to Introduce a measure for the re- peal of the fifteenth amendment. I replied that I had not thought of it, but added that I might. It was all. I confess that I have a great curlosity to hear the fifteenth amendment defended by the republican leaders, but at the same time I know that any progress toward the repeal of the fifteenth amendment depends on it not being made a partisan or sectional question. To make it such would be to check at once a healthy growth of public sentiment. It may well be that any direct effort on the part of the southern man for its repeal would result in making this a sectional party movement. 0SSCUP. HAS SCRUPLES Chicago Judge Denies that He Will Leave Bench to Accept Better Position, COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 26.—Judge Peter 8. Grosscup of Chicago, who is visiting in Columbus, says In a statement {ssued to- night that he will not resign from the United Btates circuit bench to accept the position of general counsel. for the North- ern Securities company. . Judge Grosscup says it would be to his taste and perhaps to his pecuniary advan- tage to go back to the practice of law, but thit he has some scruples of consclence on the subject of accepting and layng aside office and that reasons sufficient to control that consclence forbld his laying the office aside under present circumstances, GREEN trading stamps show how to earn interest on the money you spend—Bennett's.
