crushing any worthy man down sole
ly on account of the color Of his skin
or nationality"
These are some of the manly words
uttered by Alderman Dever, who firm
ly believes that at all times right
and justice should prevail.

of Alderman Dever; that in 1902 May

Crime Of Few Men.
e. Reno, Okla, Nov. 1.-THE three
Negro companies of the Second bat
talon OF the Twenty-fifth infantry
were disarmed at Fort Reno to-day,
by order of President Roosevelt. They

a soldier for twenty-five years.
Another veteran of company d was
First sergeant Israel Harris. He was
in his full dress uniform and the
service stripes on his sleeves nearly
filed the space from elbow to wrist.
Many of the soldiers sned tears as
they watched their arms being packed

talked Of nothing else than their ais
charge. Most of them are completely
cisheartened and have no plans for
the future.
The twelve men of the three COM
panies who have been held under ar
rest in San Antonio since the Browns
vile riot were not brought to Fort
Reno by the troops to-day. They will
be discharged from there.
The OoIored people from all over
the country are beginning to send pc
titions to Washington, protesting
against the action of President Roose-

is TO start a movement for the purpose
