Robert Rich Under Arrest for Alleged Murderous Assault, } Lloyd King, cclored, forty-two yeers of age, is a patient at the Emergency Hospltal with two stab wounds in his left side, while his stepson, Robert Ricp, nineteen years old, is under ar- rest on a charge of inflicting the wounds. The affair happened at | King’s home in Pleasant alley near the corner of 3rd and F streets south- | west about midnight Saturday. | Rich was arrested a few minutes af- | ter thetrouble by Precinct Detective Kemp and Sergeant Montgomery. The officers were told that King was about | to attacx his wife, when the son inter- | fered, and then King attempted to put | Robert ou. of the souse, and during a | scuffle that followed Rich pulled a pen | knife from his pocket and stabed his | stepfather. At the hospital this morning it was said that while King’s concition is ser- ious he will probably recover. Acharge of assaylt was preferred | against Rich at the Police Vourt Mon- |day morning and the case was con- tinved until King is able to leave the hospital. Mr. W. Calvin Chase is the attorney | for young rich, Native Washingtonions. One of the most representative | gatherings that will ever meet, will be the reception of the NATIVE Wash- |ingtonians October roth., at the Con- | vention Hall.

Well, since writing that article, | | we made a trip to Decatur, Ala., and | found that this same blatant caricatur- tien, and again had control of that seat negroes. This thing in our judg- ment is going too far, and it wili be to this kind of affairs which are being Fracticed by those ‘Lily White Re publicans of the South,”’ for we are told that this ‘ingrate’’ Jeter C. Pritch- ard has said, that he intends to con- trol Alabama, Tennessee and Ken- tucky in the next twoor three years. But we will not favor Mr. Pritchard or any of his ilk, the opportunity of re- fusing to seat a Kentucky delegation made upof negroes. We have it from responsible persons, that Pritchard has given orders for Republicans to work easy so that the negrves will be taken unawares. This action will beof no surprise to us, we are preparing for it now; but on the other hand, thank God we are all free men and women, and we do not need any man’s instruc- tion, tutorage or adviceas to what we should do in the future. But there is one thing certain, that we wil: not tol- erate any of Prit.hard’s foolishness. To our mind, it simply puts us on the defensive side, and we shall go right ahead without fear or favor, without | flunking time serving hypocritical and pharisaical pretenses, do what we, in thing. : We denounce the action ot Pritchard interest to put an immediate stop to} and sewing will be taught. ers have been carefuily selected, | forded by the night schools this year.

The bishop’s side won, making 122 runs, of which he contributed 18. When Representative DeArmond, of Mississippi, was in the Philippines, he took a number snapshot pictures. After he had developed and mounted them he put this indorsement on each card: “Made by the firm of David A. | DeArmond & Sun.” Congressman Mercer, while making the rounds of one of the departments | last week, asked a subordinate how he | liked his chief and was told that the | official in question never gave any trouble, but always signed everything submitted tohim. Mr. Mercer doubted this, whereupon the subordinate of- fered to bet a box of cigars that the chief would sign his own resignation. A document of the required character was slipped into a pile of letters and laid on the chief's desk. In a few min- |utes the correspandence was brought back and it was found that Mr. Mercer lost the cigars.

Littles field; who has swung into prominence through the announcement that he is to enter the legislative lists as admine istration champion in the contest with the trusts. This hunter and challenger of the “octupus,” as Jerry Simpson and the latter's old associates were wont to term combinations of capital, is @ characteristic product of the Pine Tree state. He has helped to keep his native state prominent in the public mind, as have others of her celebrated sons, like Blaine and@ Dingley and Frye and Milliken and Boutelle and a goodly company of dead and gone statesmen. He has done it in his own way, without the fault of imitation and by presenting new phrases of the rugged New Eng< land character. Those who know him well would hesitate to call him a demagogue, although some 6f his perforn ave almost ag bizarre those of men in congres@ and other public positions who are usually thought of as belonging to ces been ttlefield, says the Chicago ews, stands six feet and over stocking feet. He carries no superfluous flesh, like his friend, ex- Speaker Reed, and is as quick and supple as a forest guide or a down- east sailor man. He has been in con- only three y s, yet his fig- is as familiar and he is as much of a public celebrity as many men who have sat in the house for @ decade. The fact that he succeede@ the late Ne Dingley, author of the present tariff law, gave Mr. Lit- tlefield a prominence from the first day he assumed his congressional dus ti s Congressman Littlefield is just 52 years of age and bears the impresa@ of one who has fought through hie half-century of existence. He is @ fighter by nature and training. It is this strenuous element in his chars acter that has recommended him to President Roosevelt. It was not un= til Littlefield dealt the administra tion a solar-plexus blow in the Cus ban reciprocity fight that the presi- dent’s attention was thoroughly rive eted on the man from Maine. [t was | then that Roosevelt remarked to a friend: “That man Littlefield—why, he is an off ox, but an off ox that | must be reckoned with.” | Up in the Second district of Maine they tell you a deal about | Charles E. Littlefield and the way he has fought against adverse cireum= stances and men until he has com- pelled success. He did not have time through college, but, having « a common school education, up the study of law. and was admit- ted to the bar at the age of 25. He has a natural love for polities an@ entered public life as a member of the Maine legislature and was chosen speaker of the house while serving his second term in that body. As attorney general of Maine for four years, from 1889 to 1893, Mr. Littlefield achieved his first national reputation by fighting railroad cor- porations that are so powerful in his state. It was then that he devel- oped a taste for “octupus hunting” that is now making him a nationak figure. He compelled payments from the railroads of large sums in the way of taxes that had been refused for years. Mr. Littlefield’s record in congress | shows that he is not an indiscrim-, }inate fighter of trusts and does not} f “when you to follow the Irish maxim of see a head, hit it,” with regard to! an would confer greater power on con-; gress to deal with corporations. {
