TART Holes up Order Pending Further
Advices From President.
Washington, Nov. 21. - Secretary
Taft has directed that further dis
charges of the three negro companies
of the Twenty-tifth infantry, on ac-
count of the shooting at Brownsville,
Tex, be suspended pending further or.
ders. The action, it is stated, is taken
pending further advices from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who has been COM
municated with on the subject.
Many Protests Made.
The war department has been del
uged with protests against the order
directing the discharge of the three
companies. 1t is reported that fur
Their investigation will be made and
that certain officers may be called on
for an explanation.
The three companies were ordered
discharged because it is not safe to
have them in the army" Acting Secre-
tary Oliver said yesterday.
Are a Bad Lot.
THE idea seems to prevail that the
men were ordered discharged because
they refused to tell on their compan-
ions and because they are black.
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
"These soldiers shot up a town. All
of them refused to tell anything about
the disgraceful affair at Brownsville
The companies are shielding murder
ers. There are men in the companies
who are criminals of the worst sort.
Every effort possible has been made
by the war department to find the
guilty men. but without avail"

regarded as handsome, but he has a.
pleasing personality. and Is very
popular among his acquaintance
Ever since his college days. he has
been accustomed to lead. Those who
know him say thct he is q man Of ex-
emplary character and that he never
touches liquor. He is a great home
man, and his domestic life fs said to
be very happy one. HI
Because Of his appearance ana char
acteristics, he has been likened to
Abraha mLincoln, and the designation
Of Honest John" has been applied to
him by his admirers. This pseudo
nyman he does not like. and when his
friends in advocating his selection as
the party nominee at the Minot con-
vention last summer called him "Hon-
est john and abraham Lincoln OF
North Dakota" he plead .uith them to
desist.
Everybody is supposed to be hon

one Lincoln. and there will probably
never be another. do not wish to
be compared with him."
Burke accepted the nomination for
governor with great reluctance" said

the Democratic state convention which
nominated John Burke. He had lu-
crative law practice and was obliged
to sacrifice his own personal inter.
ests when he accepted the nomination.
He only consented when we told him
that he was the only man We could
hope to elect"

Engineer 10 Badly Burned by Gasoline
Flames.
John Peterson, engineer at the Troy
steam laundry in Fargo, had narrow
escape from being burned to death.
Peterson was in the act Of turning Oh
gasoline for the engine from q tank
outside the laundry building.
The pipe running from the tank to
the engine broke and the fluid ignited
from the light of a lantern which Pc
terson carried. The flames spread to
Peterson's clothing and he tried un-
successfully to beat them out. He
rushed into another part Of the build
ing, where, with the assistance Of 9th
ers, the fire finally was extinguished.
He was badly burned about the face
and hands and his clothing almost en-
tirely destroyed.
The fire department succeeded In ex-
tinguishing the flames before much
damage was done to the building.

gained most of his education in the
district school. When twenty-five
years of age he entered the Iowa state
university, where he took up law,
graduating two years later. in the
same class with Judge N. G. Young of
North Dakota and Judge Wade, the
well-known Iowa jurist.
After completing his studies, the
young attorney moved to Des Moines,
where he entered upon the practice

years there he evidently concluded
that there was a better field for an
aspiring young attorney in a newer

into the flickertail state, settling first

He set foot on North Dakota soil at
very unpropitious time. Owing to
a general depression and shortage Of
crops the country was passing through
a decidedly bad term of years. But
In spite of this John Burke prospered

hard to bring about the latter's re-
election.
In 1896 he was candidate for con-
sress on the Democratic ticket, but,
like the rest of the Democratic can

defeat. He also ran against Judge
Cowan of Devils Lake for district
