GEN. BALDWINS BAD BREAK.


Colonel Mills of the inspector gen.
erals department, who went to Den.
yer to investigate the interview said
TO have been biven by General Bald
win in which the latter spoke in an
improper manner of the Filipino and
Negro soldiers, has reported to Secre-
tary Root that the interview never
took place and that the man who re-
ported it had been discharged from
the paper. 1t appears from Colonel
Mills report that General Baldwin
did have an interview when he first
arrived in Denver, and 1T was this in
terview to which he referred when he
subsequently stated that he misunder-
stood if he was interpreted as saying
anything rejecting upon the Filipino
or colored soldiers. Colonel Mills re-
port is supported by a great many af-
ffdavits and much testimony which
has been presented to the secretary.
The above report, if true, furnishes
a fair sample of the result of a gov
ernment officers investigation Of
charges against fellow government
officer and the impossibility of break
ing the official ring. The Post printed
an interview with General Baldwin.
and the same afternoon, before the
general had learned that it would get
him in trouble at Washington, he re-
Iterated his remarks concerning Ne
groes and FilipinOS fer a morning
newspaper. When the War Depart
ment asked him about the interview
he denied it. What he said in the in
terview and The Post repeats that he
said it, was this:
"One of my reasons for liking the
Filipino is the same that gives me
preference for the Negro in the same
capacity-in fight l am not worried
about his safety, as it doesn't make
any difference whether he gets killed
or not
When Colonel Mills came to Denver
he secured the evidence not only of
the reporter who wrote the interview
vouching for its accuracy, but the
evidence of another person who acci-
dentally overheard the conversation
and voluntarily came forward and as
sured Colonel Mills of it's accuracy.
Yet the colonel reported that the in
terview never took place, adding the
additional bit of misinformatlon that
the reporter had been discharged from
The Post. The reporter was not dis
charged from The Post.
However these "denials'' of inter-
viewed officials and Investigations
by their comrades are so clearly un-
derstOOd by the public that in the
public mind denials are affirmatiOns
and eXculpatiCns are Verdicts of gull
ty. In this case Colonel Mills has
given a very close imitation of the
Prince of Wales when he testified in
a celebrated divorce case.-Denver

In a recent issue of The Colored
American appears VeSy excellent
bust Of Bishop r. S. Williams, d. D.,
with a lengthy write-up of his labOrs
in the ministry 1t is hardly possible
for a human tongue to fiatter or over
color he life of the Bishop, for his
record is so pure that whatever may be
attributed to the very best of man
kind in he way of holy living and
brilliant achievements in the church,
is but a mild description of the career
OF this good man. In morals he is
monarch; in piety he is a prince. II
Wesley had any faults we know moth
ing of them. If Williams has any
faults we know nothing of them. If
Whitfield was a pulpit wonder, VIII
liams is his peer. Pure, purei Not
single woman's polluted finger can
touch his spOtlesS robe. Even at his
home in Louisiana where he was rear
ed, he is known as ''the upright Chris
tan gentleman. In Washington he was
known as the pure and spOtless pastor.
In Columbia he was known as man
in whom there is no guile. In pas
torate he was a champion and in the
bishopric, a conquerer.

Congress Asks For Papers Relating
20 Postal Frauds.


60 Postal Frauds.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-rhe house
by resolution has authorized the com.
mittes on expenditures In the postofIice
department to request the postmaster
general to furnish that committee the
papers In connection with the recent
posto1ica investigation, but not until
after a lively debate. The resolution
met opposition on the Republican side.
Mr.. Overstreet (Rep., Ind), chairman
OF the committee on postoffices and
postroads, eontended that the informa-
ton sought had been received from
the pOstottice department and mailed
to members.
Mr.. Wanger Rep., Pa, chairman of
the committee on postoffice expendi-
lures, held that the desired information
was essential to his committee In con-
sideration of measures affecting the
postofflce department.
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader, re-
newed his effort to substitute a resolu-
ton providing that the information be
requested by the house instead Of a
committee, but the previous question
being ordered on practically a party
vote he had no opportunity to offer his
substitute. 1t required the speakers
vote to order the previous question, the
yea and nay vote resulting in a tie.
On a yea and nay vote on its passage
the resolution was agreed to, 100 to
100, the minority voting practically
unanimously with the friends Of the
measure on the Republican side.
