————— BELMONT BOOM The attention of the colored people of the District of Columbia and elsewhere is again called to the unparaleled opportunity they nave to secure homes in one of the most beautiful suburbs of Washington. Belmont is on the Tenallytown car line, just opposite Friendship Hts., only one car fare to any part of the city, and, besides being attrac- tive in itself, is in the very center of the most select and exclusive set- tlements around Washington. Chevy Chase, Somerset, Drummond and the two or three suburbs recently opened up, make a complete circle around Belmont. is absolutely good, as certified to by Ralston & Siddons. There is a provision in the deed to the property to the effect “that no structure or buildings shall beerected thereon or used for the pur- poses of gambling, poolrooms, disorderly houses, livery stables,which insures the erection of only first-class houses and the building up of Friendship Heights, just opposite Belmont, is literally covered with beautfiul homes, which the promot- a beautiful suburban settlement. ers of Belmont hope to rival or even If you fail to take advantage of this opportunity to secure a home in the northwest suburbs you will never have the like again, for nev- Friendship Heights, The title to the property surpass. er again will colored men control a suburb in the northwest section of Washington. 1 The location is unsurpassed.

In the Cardozo case the evidence is circumstantial, whereas in the Craig case the charges alleged to have beer made against Dr. W. Bruce Evans and certain teachers in the Arm- strong Manual Training School were direct, without any proof on the part of Craig. It has been stated that John F. Cook, one of tse colored members of the Board of Education, should have said that no man would sign the letter of apology that as prepared by Craig’s at- torney. The surprise of the people is | that Mr. Cook, for the first time in his life, took a stand in behalf of a member of his race. Just where the consistency | of Mr. Cook’s position is The Bee would | like to know. He votes against Prof. Cardozo because it is alleged that he, Cardozo, wrote an anonymous letter. He votes to sustain Craig, who has made certain charges against teachers in the Armstrong Manual Training School and failed to furnish proof. The question of apology first originated with Craig and his counsel only carried out the | suggestions made by Craig and his friend. As there has been so much said about an alleged brutal letter that no decent man would sign, The Bee pub- lishes below the letter of apology which originated with Mr. Craig, and it was thought that he was getting off very } “easy after having made such grave | charges: Sec. 818.

C., April 2, 1907. To the Board of Education. Ladies and Gentlemen:—Some time ago I made statements derogatory to Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, said statements being of the same tenor and effect as testified to by Dr. W. Bruce Evans before your committee during my invesigation. I made such statements merely from information and not from persona! knowledge. I have always believed and do yet believe that Dr. Evans is a clean man morally, and that he is otherwise} WATCHMAKERS AND JEW-] John Wesley “A. efficient intellectually, and is doing all] in his power for the upbuilding of the Armstrong Manual Training School by example as well as precept, and what I said against him was actuated by a be- lief that he was opposed to me. Since the said investigation and from what I now know, I am frank to admit that what I said was a repetition of rumors from irresponsible sources and that I have thus done him, the school and others a gross injustice. I therefore retract all that I have said, either directly or indirectly, against him and offer to the Board of Education, Dr. W. Bruce Evans and the teachers of Armstrong Manual Training School this, my heartfelt apology, and am ready and willing at any time to make a simi- lar apology publicly before the school. I further assure the Board of Educa- tion that the principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School will never again have occasion to complain of any mis- conduct on my part, but I shall give him my undivided support. Believing that the foregoing is ample and appreciative apology, I subscribe myself, Very respectfully. We are sorry for our friend, H. C. Harris. We trust that he and his wife will bury the hatchet. \ LEGAL NOTICES. ; FAMOUS |HOLLY MouNT PURE JOHN E. COLLINS, ATTORNEY. SUPREME COURT OF THE DIS- TRICT OF COLUMBIA.
