NORFOLK, VA, May 2l.-From break
fast hour until after dark to-day there
was nothing but business for the dele
gates to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and G. T. A. Conventions. Both
! bodies were In session almost continuous
s1y, with a short recess for lunch.
Whatever the business transacted to-day
there was nothing fer the press. accord
Ing to the statement Of Assistant Grand
Chief Youngson, but Chief Arthur stated
that no matter pertaining to a strike or
der had come up. and to the best of his
knowledge none would come before the
convention.
I'ke proposition submitted by President
O'Connell, Of the international Machin-
lists Union. was still the chief subject of
conversation among the delegates.
1t is generally conceded that should the
Brotherhood enter the American Fedora
!, ton of Labor, organized labor would hold
the control OF the country in the palms
of its hands. but the engineers are very
much opposed to abolishing their great
principle of independence, in which they
claim their strength lies.

fight on hand when the question comes
UP for debate and disposal.

Joined In the good work with vim that

being traceable directly to lack of proper

because Of the withdrawal of the Assoc

that State, and were quite ready for the

SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST OFFICERS
Corporal 0'Brien Gives sensa-
tionaI Testimony Before the
Philippine Committee.
lfRv Associated Press.

wAsHINGTON, May 21.-Corporai
O,Brien. formerly Of the Twenty-sixth
Volunteer Infantry, was before the Sen
ate commission to-day and produced the
alleged dum-duna or explosive bullets. he
said they wHce not like the ordinary car
tridges. because they did not have the
letters gu. s. on them. General Croz-
4ner. chief Of ordnance. was called and
testified that the cartridges We're the
same as the regulation kra S-Jorgensen.
O,Brien was recalled and questioned
concerning certain features OF his pre-
vious testimony. During the course OF
his examination Senators Dietrich and
patterson became involved in quite q
sharp controversy as to the propriety Of
certain questions asked the witness. The
controversy arose over a charge by Sem
ator Dietrich that the Colorado Senator
was doing ell that he could to 1nJure the
army, an mpu tation which Mr. Patter-l
son resented, rising from his seat and re-
nlying in angry tones that the Senator
from Nebraska knew the truth 10 De eA-z
actly to the contrary.
O'Brien was questioned by Senator
aReyeridge concerning his charge that
number OF American officers mad V1olateu
the nerson of a Spanish woman at the
time the town Of lgbaras was burned
O'Brien said he first heard OF the woman
in the case because Of talk OF her ex-
ceptional beauty. but ne could NOT re-
member whether the husband, when he
told him Of the crime that had been
committed, had given the names Of any
officers connected with it. The man had
stated, however. that there were four Of
them engaged in the affair
Questions by the Senator brought out
the fact that there were then four Ameri-
can officers in the town Of Igbaras.
Consequently said the Senator, u
the statements made by the woman's
husband are true, these four men are
guilty of the crime charged.
Senator Patterson protested against
this testimony and later made a state
ment of the position OF the mlnorlty,L say
Ing that he did not believe the honor
of American officers and soldiers should
he afmpugned by Ilearsay testimony.
