Washington. June 14. Milton A.
Ailos. who began his career as K boy
in the Treasury Department clearing
ashes from the fireplaces and filling
the water coolers, was Monday elected
president of the Riggs National Bank,
one of the largest financial institu
ions of the East. For many years he
has been vice-president. Charles C.
Glover, the president, was elected chaii-
jman of the board.
Aj.les came to the capitol many years
:ago a penniless boy from Shelby Coun
Ity, Ohio. While he polished door knobs
and plied a broom in the treasury, he
j studied finance- When John G. Carlisle
; took the portfolio. Ailes became pri
vate secretary to one of his assistants.
Lyman J. Gage found his knowledge
of treasury affairs so complete that
he asked President McKir.ley to make
Ailes an assistant Secretary of the
Treasury but learned to his horror that
Ailes came of Democratic stock.
"That's not important. Gage," Presi
dent McKinley said. "If you and I
had been raised In Shelby county, we'd
be Democrats too. He can't help it.
McKinley appointed him Secretary
Gage's chief assistant and as such Ailes
conducted the principal treasury oper
ations, including Spanish war financ
ing. Meanwhile, he took over the job
of being schoolmaster to the set of
lyour.g men Gage brought to the treas
jury, among whom were Frank A. Van
derlip and others now national figures
i finance.
"After enjoying the intimate friendship
of McKinley and Roosevelt, Ailes left
the treasury and became a banker.

A crowd of more than 150 men was
present Monday evening at the Ivey
dining room for the final monthly
meeting and luncheon of the Men's
Club of the Second Presbyterian
church. The club will have no other
meeting until September and that meet
ing will be held in the new annex now
being added to tle Second Presbyterian
church.
The feature of the meeting Monday
evening was a brief address by Rev.
Dr. W. H. Frazer, new president of
Queens College, who cecently arrived
in Charlotte. He was made an honorary
member of the club, on motion of one
of the members, but said the organi
zation was such a live, splendid one
that he preferred to be a regular pay
ing member, and was taken in on that
basis.
Dr. Frazer talked both in a serious
arid humorous vein. He related sev
eral negro dialect stories in a man
ner that brought down the house and
that explained the wide reputation
he has for being on of the best after
dinner speakers anywhere to be
found. One of his stories, told in in
imitable negro dialect, was about the
experience of a noted negro divine of
Birmingham, who was called to a. small
town in Alabama to conduct a special
revival. Another was about a young
English nobleman who came to Amer
ica with an American Rhodes' scholar
and spent a while at the latter's planta
tion home in Louisiana, where an old
negro retainer of the place played a
stellar role in showing the English
man that everything) English wasn't
superior to everything American. An
other story narrated the impressions of
several Alabama negroes at Tuskegee
Institute following the enactment of
the 'grandfather" clause in Alabama's
constitution, and revealed one of the
negro delegates as a 'possumist" rath
er than an optomist or pessimist. Dr.
Frazer prefaced one of his stories with
a sincere tribute to the work done at
Tuskegee by the late Booker T. Wash
ington and also by his successor Rob
ert Moton.
Beginning the . program Miss Ger
trude Gower, soprano and member of
the Good Fellows Club Octette, sang
"Irish Eyes." The accompaniment was
ulayed by Miss Ina K. Harrison, of
the Good Fellows Club octette. Rev.
Mr. Pearman. who is assisting In an
evangelistic meeting here, led the club
members in singing "Onward, cum
tian Soldiers."
Thomas C. Hayes, president of the
club, presided. Several reports were
made by heads of committees as to
various club activities. A special com
mittee, with E. A. McCausland as
fVialrman. was named to. look after
$mn left to the club by Kenneth Trot
ter, one of the charter members of
the club and which the club proposes
to use as a memorial to him.
