SOME SOLDIERS
MUST PRESENT EVIDENCE, NOT
DEDUCTIONS
President Holds That He Has Power
to Restore Honor to Infantry
men in Brownsville,
Tex, Trouble
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-President
Roosevelt holds that he has the power
to reinstate in the army any of the
members of the three companions of
the Twenty-fifth regiment of colored
infantry, who were discharged without
honor as result of trouble at Browns
vile, Tex, some time ago, IL the cir
cumstances of any individual case can
Justify such action.
Whether he will avail himself of that
power. according to the president, will
depend OH such evidence as may be
presented TO him in the case of any
one or more soldiers which will tend
clearly to exculpate them from any par
ticipation in the incident
This is In conformance with the an
ncuncement he made while away to
Secretary Taft while the latter had
telegraphed the president stating that
application had been made by a num-
Der of persons for a rehearing.
The president wants videncc, not de-
ductions as he told some of his callers
today of the participation before
anything may be done.
Some statement Is expected from the
White House in ii few days defining
the presidents attitude and clearly out
lining his reasons for ordering the dis
charge of the three companies of
colored men. He is waiting certain
data bearing on the subject and some
communications from persons interested
before making any statement.

CABINET HEARS
METCALF REPORT
"SAN FRANCIScANS ACTED IN
THEIR RIGHTS
Though the President Has Not Made
Findings Public, Their Tenor Is
derstood-Adjustment
Is Looked For
By Associa ted Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-President
Roosevelt has a long conference with
tonight regarding the alleged discrim-
ination against the Japanese residents
in San Francisco.
More than a month ago, when the
agitation affecting the alleged discrim-
ination against the Japanese in San
Francisco was at it's height. the presi-
dent sent Mr.. Metcalf to that city to
make a thorough and exhaustive inves-
tigation with a view to learning at
first hand the exact condition of affairs.
1t was charged that the alleged dis
elimination consisted, among other
things. of denying the Japanese equal
school privileges with the whites and
that there had been threats and overt
acts against the Japanese merchants.
Mr.. Metcalfs report is now ready
and was considered very fully by the
president tonight.
The secretary has uniformly de-
clined to discuss with the-newspapers
any of the conclusions he has reached
but it has been generally understood
that it would show that the people of
San Francisco maintained that what
they did about school accommodations
was entirely within their rights and
that the case was one of local adminis-
tration.
Whether the president will make the
report public has not been determined
He will give it full consideration before
taking any step.
He has expressed hope that all cause
for complaint on the part of Japanese
be removed and has stated that he will
do his utmost to bring about salts
factory settlement.

and their subsequent release on $4,000
bail each, the alleged councilmanic
bribery scandal is to be thoroughly and
publicly ventilated.
The hearing in the case has been set
for Saturday

personal charge of the case, directing
the police investigation and reiterates
emphatically that every person found
to be implicated-either councilman or
railroad off1cials-in the distribution of
the $4,000 graft money will be arrested
and prosecuted
More arrests are to follow those of
Cameron and Martin, it is said, and in
each case the charge win be bribery.

Forty members of select council and
twenty-five members of common coun-
Gil are said to be implicated in the
conspiracy. The police have the names
of these men and are keeping them

ing that he loaned Cameron $4,000 at
the legal rate of interest. Cameron was
to deposit the money in the bank after

iously and Richardson, believing a con-
sriracy was on to beat him out of the
money, entered suit.

taken up by Mayor Guthrie, with the
result that evidence has been gathered
