Taft to Name W. H. Lewis Assistant At-
torney General’
President Taft, it was stated in
Washington, has decided to appoint a
colored man to the highest office in an
executive branch of the government
ever held by a member of that race.
William H. Lewis, at present an as
gistant district attorney at Boston, is
to be made an assistant attorney gen.
eral of the United States.
The president has also determined
to make Charles A. Cotterell, of Tole
do, also a negro, collector of customs
at Honolulu. This recognition of the
colored race is expected to have po-
litical results in Ohio and Massachu-
setts.
Lewis is a graduate of the Harvard
law school, and played center rush
on the Harvard eleven in the early
nineties.
The appointment has been agreed
upon by the president and Attorney
General Wickersham. Just what du-
ties will be assigned to the new as-
sistant when he takes office have not
been decided.
The appointment of Lewis is in line |
with President Taft's policy of recog-
nizing colored men in the gove
service, but taking these appointments
as far as possible out of the southern
states, where friction has been caused
in the past by colored federal office
holders.
Was Opposed Two Years Ago.
More than two years ago it was ru-
mored that Lewis might be made as-
sistant attorney general at Washing:
ton, but opposition developed on ac-
count of his color. Lewis has been
very successful in practice. He has
made an excellent record as assistant
attorney for the eastern district of
Massachusetts, It was not denied that
he was at that time qualified for the
office mentally, but it was feared that
his presence in the department of jus-
tice would cause a great deal of fric-
tion, since in the department there are
many old-time southerners, among
them Colonel John 8S. Mosby.
William H. Lewis is at present in
charge of the naturalization cases for
the United States attorney for the
Massachusetts district. He was born
in Portsmouth, Va., in 1868, and after
being graduated from Amherst college
in 1892, entered the Harvard law
school and was graduated from that
fnstitution in 1895. During his stay at
Harvard he played center rush on the {
1892 and 1893 football teams and has
been one of the Harvard football
coaches up to within a year or two.
He served one year in the lower
branch of the Massachusetts legisla.
ture. Lewis was appointed an assist-
ant United States attorney in 19083,
snd has been connected with that of-
fice ever since. He is married and
lives in Cambridge. His father was a
colored minister. Lewis was ambi
tious and worked as a waiter to earn
his college expenses. His sister is the
wife of Dr. France, a colored physician
of Portsmouth.
Prominent In Politics.
He was captain of the football team,
class orator and won the Harvey prize
debate and the Hyde prize contest in
oratory. In Harvard he was regarded
as the best footballer the university
had ever played on the gridiron. In
1895 he was admitted to the bar and
he soon built up a paying practice. He
served two terms in the Cambridge
common council, and twice refused the
nomination for the legislature. He was
at last induced to run and won by a
big majority.
Lewis was a noted center rush on
the Harvard football eleven in the
early nineties, and was the first col-
ored man to attain prominence in the
game. He was selected by Walter
Camp as the All-American center for
1892. He was a student of the game,
as well as player, and published a book
cn “How to Play Football.” Subse-
quent to graduating from Harvard he
was a coach and football official.
Eagle Swoops on Child.
An eagle with a spread of wings of
eight feet was killed by Conrad Brum-
mell when it swooped down on his
daughter Anna, six years old, as she
was playing in a pasture at Eola, IIL
The eagle darted twice at the child,
who ran for refuge beside a pet cow.

Howard Gould to Marry Actress.
Friends of Howard Gould in Paris
are not surprised to hear of his re
ported engagement to Kathryn Hutch-
inson, the actress. For several months
past it has been known that he was in-
fatuated with the actress. They have
been constantly together.
Gould has been cruising in his
yatcht in northern waters during the
summer. Kathryn Hutchinson was a
member of the small party aboard. He
was seen in Paris with her during
the summer, when they dined often
together at well known Bohemian re
sorts,
Howard Gould's attachment to Kath.
ryn Hutchinson has been common talk
here for some time. His friends be-
lieve he will follow Frank Gould's ex-
ample in refusing to reveal whether
he intends to marry the woman with
whom his name is associated, allowing
his associates, as well as the public
generally, to make whatever guesses
they wish.

Judge Baldwin, of Comn., Threatens to
Bring Suit.
How. Stmeon E. Baldwin, ex-chief
justice or tne supreme court of Com
necticut and Democratic nominee for
governor of Connecticut at the coming
election, sent an open letter to Theo
dore Roosevelt, informing him that he
had misrepresented him in his politi
cal speech at Concord, N. H,, last Sat.
urday, if the newspaper reports were
correct, and demanding a retraction of
the false statements, because they
were likely to hurt the judge's stand
ing as a lawyer and prejudice his can
didacy for governor. Judge Baldwin, it
is understood, means to bring an action
for libel.
Judge Baldwin's letter in part is as
follows:
“The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, LL. D.
“Dear Sir—In tae newspaper reports
of a speech delivered by you at Con
corn, N. H., on Oct. 22, it is stated that
you remarked that the Democratic
y of Connecticut had nominated
or governor a former judge who was
‘a man who took the view that it was
competent for the workman, when
driven to any employment, to grind
him to bind himself not to be compen:
sated if he lost life or limb in that oc
cupation.’
“I never took such a view.
“I never stated that I took such &
view.
“Such a view would be opposed to
the settled principles of law, and mo
competent lawyer could or would
take it.
“I trust that your remarks at Con
| cord were misrepresented. If not, you
| certainly were misinformed.
“It you did, in fact, make the charge
against me or one substantially of that
character, 1 write to request that you
would retract it, as it is one calculated
to affect my standing as a lawyer (at
least among those who do not know
me), as well as to prejudice my posi
tion as a candidate for public office.”
Judge Anderson's Friends Indignant.
The friends of Judge Albert B. An-
derson, who was denounced at the Co-
lumbia club, in Indionapolis, Ind., by
Mr. Roosevelt as a ‘damned crook and
jackass,” have been writing him from
all parts of the state, and many have
. called upon him to express their indig-
pation and at the same time assure
him that nothing which the former
president conld say would have any ef-
fect upon tuose who know him and
are familiar with his hcnorable record
as a citizen and a judge.
Some of them have indicated that
they would be glad to unite in a testi
mnonial and have it gent broadcast over
the country, but there is little prospect
that the judge would consent to this.
Those who have talked with him,
while not professing to speak for him,
do not believe he will notice the im-
sult.
Notwithstanding his silence there is
great indignation that he should have
been characterized as a “crook and
jackass” by Mr. Roosevelt, and some
of the former president's warmest
friends are among the number who be
lieve he wantonly charged Judge Am-
derson with that which he in no sense
deserves.
8ix Killed in Boiler Explosion.
A boiler explosion killed six firemen,
fatally wounded two others and threw
2000 women and girls and half as many
more men into a panic at the bagging
and rope plant of the American Manu-
facturing company, at Greenpoint,
across the East river from New York.
Says Roosevelt Libeled Him.
