ILLIAN SPEAKS C BUTDESPITE PROTEST UT TEDDY WIL REINSTATE NEGROES WHO HAVE OLEAN BILLS. More Statement Won't do--Stream of Pr6minent Negroes at White House Hold Up Cabinet Meeting. The State Bureau, 1417 G Street, N. W., Washington, Nov. 27. The president announced that he will "stand pat" in the negro troops matter, but lie spent a goodly portiol of this his first day at home since his return in hearing protests from prominent negroes. The private see reta r of Booker Washington, sent spciailly by his chief, was among these. Tie presi(lent heldi up a eabinet meeting half an hiour to talk with this one and another. This afternoon he received a whole bunch of news paper men and told them all about it. He says that with all the protests lie has not, been given any 'facts' which contradiet those upon which S lie acted and )Ve wants it distinctly understood that mere ''statements'' will not go. But lie is willing to rein state any of those' who can prove that they had no knowledge of the 'shooting up of the town.'" Zach McGhee. MEET US AT JAMESTOWNI And Let Us See the Old Church in Which Princess Pocahontas Alias Matoaca Rebecca Rolfe, was Baptized and Married James T. Bacon, in News and Courier. In Norfolk, E Na, we have seen tile au1t(hentie ori._,inlal of tile portrilit of Poenhlntas, painted while she was on a visit to the royal family inl Bit ian. I F we are not i mist akain there are cop)ies of this porit rail ini lliclhmfond and ini Williamsburg, Va. In this porrail Poc(ahotas is dressed1 like a Court lady of the pieriod. She wears a ruby-colored: velvet waist, long and( stiff, a broad lace collar, with an Elizabethan flare to it in the back, lace cuffs, p)earl ear rings and1( a1 higherowned hat. She carries a gorgeous feather fan in her right hand. Tihe face is very expres sive and, except a serious thoughtful ness, hns but little of the traditional stolidity of the JIndiani. The ''first families'' ar'e descended froin a very good looking young woman. She w~as the first American girl to go to thme Englishm Court and be wvond ered at and admired by thme fine ladies and nole men there. And certainly *she was of' bettecr blood than either Consuelo Vanderbilt or Anna Glould or the Mackey girl that became Prini cess Colonna. *Whether shu had a happier time with lher foreign hums band than these ri American girls weO do0 not. know. At all events she did not sue for a divorce.

The way to see James- h; town is to drive over from Williams- t( burg, a town almost as old, and quito aI as interesting in another way. We tI drive under the same kind of forest trees as those which sheltered Pow- 0 hatan and the Chiekahominies.' hI White oak, black jack, hickory, i chinquapin and sweet myrtles line bi the road.

The relies of tl ti Colonial times are at the north end of the island. A society of patriotic Ainomen-the Virginian Association for the Protection of Antiquities has long ago taken steps to preserve what remains of the once proud Col onial church-Episcopal, of course. A high wire fence encloses the old brick el wall, tombstones and tower of the a euiiirch. Here the Princess Pocahon- a1 tas was baptized and here she was maried tc John Rolfe in 1614. The . church itself was ereeted in 1009, two years after the settlement, and I about 300 years ago.

A Junie rose th is trained at the portal, and although n~~ visitors arc forbidden to pluck even. a leaf of the foliage the guiide will offer a rose or bud or a sprig to the St tourist whio seems interdsted in the p)lace. The association has covered the tombstones that, remain with a layer of eemenit, as a p)rotection from th~e depredations of sight-seers.
