OBJECT TO DIsHoNoRABLE DIS
CHARGE OF coLoRED TROOPS.
WILL BE OF NO AVAIL
Most Communications Reveal Ignor-
ance of Facts Connected With the
Case-Negroes ReconciIed to Their
DismissaI-Officers Under Ar
rest.

Washington, Nov. 14-The war de-
partment mails are heavy with letters
protesting against the dishonorable
discharge of the three companies OF
the 25th infantry, colored. Most OF
these originate in Massachusetts.
They can be of no avail now, it is
said, because the action was taken by
the direction of the president, who
alone can relieve the severity of the
order. Most of the communications.
according to the department, reveal
the ignorance of the important facts
connected with the case, so Acting
Secretary Oliver has ordered the
printing in pamphlet form of the re-
port of Colonel Bixby, who made the
original investigation into the rioting
at Brownsville last August by some
members OF the twenty-ffth, as well
as the further report of Inspector
General Darlington, and these pamDh-
lets will be supplied to the CORE
partment that the president probably
would consent to modify the order in
individual cases where injustice would
result from it's rigid application. Upon
reenlistment, however, the soldier
would not be able to claim the bene-
fits of the retired list, because his
military record is fatally defective.
Officers Under Arrest.
Ell Reno, Okla, Nov. 14.-The official
order for the dismissal of all members
of colored companies quartered here
was received Yesterday. The formal
discharge will take place today.
Major Penrose, Captain Maclin and
Lieutenant Chandler are under arrest

trouble in Brownsville, Texas. The
negroes are apparently reconciled to
their dismissal, and no trouble is All
ticipated.
Saw Negroes Do Heroic Fighting.
Havana, Nov. 14-Lieutenant
Colonel w. L. Pitchers attention was
called last night to an article In an
American newspaper declaring that
President Roosevelt had directed that
an immediate report be requested
from him as to whether he had been
correctly, quoted as denouncing the
negro troops while at Fort Sheridan
last year. Pitcher said he had never
entertained and never expressed such
sentiments. He explained that he had
served with colored troops in the
past and had seen them do heroic
fighting.

Passenger on FL Paso & Southwestern
Tells Of Assault BY Train
Crew.

w. ]. Baker, has brought suit in
the District Court at Ell Paso against
the FL Paso & Southwestern Railway
for damages in the sum of $4,000. In
his petition the plaintiff alleges that
he was en- rOnte from Ell Paso to Ro-
deo, New Me ico, to which point he
had purchased ticket, but when the
conductor came for his ticket he
could not find 1t. He asked the train
men to give him a chance to look for
the ticket and said If he had not
succeeded in locating 1T by the time
the conductor had run the train, he
would pay his fare to his destination.
He AYERS that after the conductor
had finished taking up tickets he
came back to where he was sitting in
the coach, being accompanied by the
brakeman and without giving him a
chance to pay his fare, both assaulted
him and finally put him of the train,
where he wandered about for some
time when he found his way back to
Ell Paso.

DELEGATE FAVORS
CONVENTION
For Purpose Of Drafting Constitution
for New Mexico As
Planned.

Jay Turley of Blanco, San Juan
County, who was elected delegate to
the constitutional convention from the
county of San Juan and who is well
and favorably known in Santa Fe
County, where he resided for sew
eral years, and in northwestern New
Mexico, places himself squarely on
record in favor of holding a constitu.
tional convention at an early date. Mr.
Turley, who moved to San Juan
County from Santa Fe about a year
ago, evidently stands very we'll in his
new home as he was elected to the
convention on the Republican ticket
although the county went strongly
Democratic with the exception of one
candidate and gave majority against
Delegate Andrews. Mr.. Turley's let
ter is self explanatory. 1t is patriotic,
sensible and timely. He endorses the
suggestions of The New Mexican for
the selection of the Hon l.. Bradford
Prince as president of the convention.
His letter reads:
Editor New Mexican, Santa Fe New
Mexico:
Dear Sir--I have just returned
from an extensive surveying trip for
the Citizens Ditch and Irrigation
Company and have just read the ar
tico contained in the New Mexican
of the l4th instant regarding the con-
stitutional convention.
81 am by all means in favor of the
holding of the constitutional conven-
tion, and at some convenient date dur
ing this coming winter-preferably
shortly after the holidays Il have no
special date to recommend, however,
it might be we'll to meet along about
the time of the meeting Of the legis-
lature or Just before.) Personally |
feel that the drafting of a constitu-
tion cannot fail to do us a great deal
of good in assisting us to gain the
boon of statehood, that which we so
much desire.
I'm looking over the list of names
OF those elected to attend such a
convention to form the constitution
for the Sunshine State | see that the
list contains the names of men who
are as capable as any who could be
selected from any state in the Union,
and there is every reason to believe
that we should have the best consttu-
tion of all the states. And in look
ing over the list of names | could not
but think of who would be the best
one to preside over the deliberations
of the convention; considered the
subject we'll and feel that must in
dorse the suggestion, contained in
your paper, of Ex-Governor l.. B..
Prince for president; this list contains
the names of some very capable men,
but feel that for this position he is
as capable as any and should be con-
sidered first.
81 certainly am willing to assist in
every way that can to further the
public good, and | feel that our ad-
mission into the Union will be about
as great a public good as can happen
for the entire people of the future
Sunshine State.
"With best wishes for success,
81 am yours truly,
"JAY TURLEY,
Delegate to the Constitutional Con.
vention From San Juan County,
New Mexico"
