From Service Battalion o.
Negro Soldiers.

WAshington.-An extract from the
annual report Of Secretary OF War
TAFT relating to the Brownsville, Tex.
outrage by negro soldiers, was made
public on Wednesday. Secretary Taft
recites the crimes of the soldiers. as
already described in news dispatches;
the failure Of the war department to
obtain the names Of the offenders and
the discharge Of the battalion. Sec
rotary Taft justihes the discharge,
saying:
1T may be that in the battalion are
number Of men wholly innocent,
who know neither who the guilty men
are, nor any circumstances which
will aid in their detection, though
this cannot be true of many. Because
there may be innocent men In the bat.

to use 1t to guard communities of men,

detection! Certainly not. The only
means OF Kidding the military service

women and children, and actual muir
derers OF one man, is the discharge
of the entire battalion"

RIVER FILLING
SALTON SINK
If Water Can Not be Turned
Back Into Channel Millions
OF Dollars Will be Lost.
A Thousand People in the Basin May
Lose Their Homes and a Quar-.
ter Of Millions Of Acres Of
Farming Land Laid Waste.

Yuma, Ariz.-Once more the en-
tire Colorado river is flowing into the
Salton Sink, and Imperial and Goa,
chella valleys are menaced by rising
waters. The main line Of the new
southern Pacific must again be moved
TO higher ground, unless the water
can be brought under control. A thou
sand people in Salton basin must lose
their homes, including a quarter OF a
milllon acres OF farming lands. the
Southern Pacific musts build 200 miles
OF new main line, and irrigation
about Yuma must be abandoned. The
government Laugana dam irrigation
project may become an impossibility.
At a conservative estimate not less
than $25,OO0,0OO of present values are
at stake upon the success OF efforts
to close the break.
What is known as the Hind dam
was thrown across the new channel,
and an earth dixie was built up paral-
lei to the river for ten miles, mainly
In Mexico. On the Arizona side of the
river is the government dixie. Three
days ago water found it's way through
both dikes. flooding large areas. This
was thought to be serious, but was
not considered critical until Sunday
night, when the water developed a
msunct channel and Monday morning
disclosed the fact, that the entire
river had found its way around the
Hind dam into the channel from which
II was just barred. The dam itself is
uninjured.
When the water was turned into
the new channel Sunday night, the
steamer Searchlight on the Colorado
below the break was stranded two
miles from the water.

rier."
II congress should enact a law re-
quir lg the tearing up of the Panama
railroad, Mr.. Morgan said no creditor

troll of the road as is he was its sole
owner" he declared.

country"

ment that the Panama railway was the
most reckless agency that ever
