OUR LETTER BOS


Protest from John Albert Williams.
OMAHA, Nov S.--To the Editor of The
Bee I have read with the greatest in.
dignation I'm tonights Bee OF the action
OF President Roosevelt i'm ordering the
discharge Of an entire battalion OF negro
trooIs because OF their failure to dis
close the identity OF some Of their num-
Der who had been guilty Of violence AMI
murder GU at Brownsville. Tex. ON the
night Of August 49, This action is so
manifestly unjust that 1 do not believe
the American people, despite their ad-
miration for the impulsive and polite
Roosevelt. viii for moment sanction it.
Sober reflection upon his part. nope. viii
show the president that he has acted un-
justly and will move him TO repair so
far as he may the injustice done.
The negro troops, according to the press
dispatches at the time of the trouble, were
not the aggressors. Two soldiers, who
were peacefully going about their business
i'm passing a group Of white men and
women were knocked down and brutality
beaten because they did not get off the
sidewalk as negroes are expected and
compelled to do in many places in the
south. 1t was from this incident that
the rioting started. That night some OF
the enlisted men Of the Twenty-hfth in
fantry entered the town and began
fusillade in which one citizen was killed
and another wounded
Be It conceded that the soldiers did
wrong. The whole battalion was NOT
guilty and some of the men have no
knowledge Of the guilty parties, accord
ing to the report of General Darlington, a
portion of which reads
Elm making this recommendation, [
recognize the fact that number of men
who have no direct knowledge as
to the identity OF the mon
Of the Twenty-fifth infantry who actually
fired the shots on the night of the 18th
of August, 1906, will incur this extreme
penalty"
Why, then, should these men be dis
honorably discharged who have no d.
rect knowledge Of the AFFAIR."
This unprecedented (action) in the his
tory of the army Of the United States is
so manifestly unjust that a mighty pro
test should go up from all justice loving
citizens. Surely, the legal processes in
| command of this government should be
| amply sufficient TO discover the guilty
parties in this regrettable affair, without
| resorting to such unjust and puerile meth
| DDS as discharging a whole battalion OF
| soldiers in the face of report which
! saws "a number of men who have no d.
rect knowledge as to the identity Of the
men, etc, will incur this extreme pen
atty
| Are the liberal-minded and justice-loV-
ing people of the west willing that this
/ injustice shall be done and no one lift
voice against It? 1 hardly think so.
| .. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS,
| Rector Church of st. Philip the Deacon.

able speculation has been INDUCED IN OF
late as to the relative merits of the two
cars and the owners decided to settle the
matter by race from one end OF the
Dodge street macadam TO the other The
race was witnessed by a large number of
people from Omaha, nearly half the auto
mobiles of the city being driven to the
scene OF the contest. About forty were I'm

of several miles of the road could be had.
The machines were started side by side
at the west end Of the Dodge street ma
cadalu, and at the pistol shot Updike threw
Ills throttle open and jumped into the lead.
This lead, however, was shortliVed, for
Hamilton passed him before they had gone
100 feet and kept the lead to the end.
The machines sped up and down the hills
at terrific rate OF speed. Updike trailing

 One of the cases Is Styles Atwood, against his son Ephriam Atwood. Ev. cry year for ten years Attorney Rus sell has been getting mad over this case.

SPENDING CITY MONEY
WoIk is Held Up When Appropriation
 iS Exhausted.

It is question if the board of fin ance isn't needlessly alarmed over the
 alleged short-sightedness on the part of
 the department of public works in or
 dering sewers constructed without
 knowing whether thew have enough
 money to do the work with or not This
 is condition that has never arisen,
 it is not likely to come up now, for the
 same man has charge of that end of
 the work that has handled 1t almost
 from the beginning of the sewer, sys-
 tenn, and while everybody may not like
 his gait, 1t would be folly to say that
 he is not vigilant because nobody
 would believe 1t. City Engineer Cairns
 looks out for that and when the limit
 of the appropriation Is reached he no
 tifles the commissioners and then op- eratlons cease, no matter how much
 work has been ordered. It is nothing
 unusual to find at the close of the year that more work has been mapped than can be done. but what has that to do with the board of finance or anybody else? The commissioners of finance would be liable in acse they approved bills in excess of the appropriation, but even at that it wouldn't be much of T blunder. for if the money was not to the credit of the Item against which the bills were charged the comptrol- Ter would not make out the orders and the only way the money could be provided would be by special ap- propriation, something that would have to come before the aldermen. But in any case It isn't fair to con- clude that the present board of pub lie works is likely to make d big jump in the dark and get the finan- ciers into peck of trouble. The bond issue is sufficient to meet the expense of the sewage disposal plant, and if all the bonds are not sold they can be put on the market any time.
 A vote passed by the aldermen last of all, delegates to the board of pub lie works, all the power that can be conferred upon them by the aldermen relative to sewage so that they don't have to go to that source again for anything connected with the con struction of the sewage disposal plant.
 The finance board is also worried over the amount of money spent by officials for car tickets. Perhaps they have cause to weep about this. but isn't it strange that it didn't bother them at all under business admins. tratlon. when. as has been stated by one of the commissioners. the vicious practice reached It's highest point. and became an intolerable abuse be- cause heads of departments bought car tickets right and left and charged them to the city without consultng to be sure two wrongs don't | make right. but wouldn't one natur- | ally conclude that if malignant type Of abuse was permitted under one | admlnistration. a mild form of the | same malady shouldn't attract much attention later on especially from off. rials who had an opportunity to nip the evil in the bud.

CADET HETRIcK WINS.
Connecticut Man Will Be Graduated
 at Head of Class.

New York, June 9.-A special to a morning paper from West Point says. It was learned yesterday that to Ca det Harold s. Hetrick of Connecticut VIII fall the much coveted honor next Tuesday of being graduated at the mead of his class at the United States military academy. Hetrick is a mem- per Of the cadet committee on athlet- lcs, IS editor in chief of the class an- nual, the Howitzer, and is lieutenant Of Company B. A year ago he stood second in his class. His name and those of the next four men in the class will be attached in the army register as the names of the most distinguished members of the class of 1906.
 Besides Hetrick. the other four 10 break into the distinguished" quin- let are W. 4. Johnson of New York, James J. Loving of Arkansas. Fred, erick B. Downing of Virginia and Ed mund l.. Daley of Massachusetts. All four take rank in the order named. All or these except Daley were the first nve or this class last year. Daley was tenth year ago. when Hetrick was second and just behind Johnson, whom he now displaces. It has been close race between Hetrick and Johnson all the year. and the leadership of the class was not decided until the nnal examinations had been passed.
 It is the custom to assign the first nve men of each class to whatever arm of the service they may choose. The majority of them in past years have chosen to be assigned to the en. gineers.
