the Influence of the church’ behind
everything we do.”
The clergymen in their talk had re-
ferred to negro education and at this
point in his reply Mr. Taft remarked
that his previous statement was one
of his strong reasons for advocating
the maintenance of. excellent univer-
sities in the south for the education of
the negro minister because of their
wonderful power over the race. These
men had great responsibility and
should be thoroughly prepared, he
added. The influence of the white
churches on the negro churches, he
•aid; must continue to grow.

says Secretary Wright, that some of
the soldiers of the command were in-
nocent and for that reason the contract
was made with Browne under which he
was to associate Baldwin with him and
undertake an independent investiga-
tion. Baldwin is described in the letter
as ft railway detective of wide expert-
ence and unusual ability who was rec-
ommended to the department by sev-
eral of the biggest roads in Hie south.
Secictary Wright reviews the Inves-
tigatjons made by the department and
by the senate and expresses the opin-
io that it was wise to employ Browne
and Baldwin and to place the investi-
gation in their hands.

Washngton, Jan. 5. — President
Roosevelt today withdrew from the
senate his nomination made yesterday
of Robert Watchorn as commissioner
of immigration at Ellis Island, N. Y.
This action of the president was re-
celved with surprise both in the genate
and in the department of commerce and
labor. At'the white house it was an-
nounced that Watchorn’s nomination
had merely been withdrawn pending an
inquiry into charg which had been
pending against him. The nature of
the charges and the name# of the per-
sons making them were not disclesed:
It was stated further that the with-
drawal of the nomination wax made
simply to afford opportunity for an In-
vestigation of charges filed with the
president and that it was not neces-
sarily final.
