Major Knight Now in Charge.
Coloted Troops Dismissed

Three companies of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry. COlOTed, the members OF
which participated I'm the rioting at
Brownsville, Tex, last August. were
dishonorably discharged from the ser
vice by a special order issued By the
War Department yesterday. The order
was issued by direction Of the President
whose decision in the case was an
nounced last Tuesday. The order. as
issued, indicates that the department
knows the identity of the guilty men,
as Il states certain members of the
three companies participated in the dis
turbance. The order provides that the
men shall be discharged without honor
from the army by their respective com
manding officers, and forever debarred
from re-enlisting in the Army or Navy
OF the United States, as well as from
employment In any civil capacity under
the Government.
The discharged men include all the
privates. musicians. cooks. and nom
commissioned officers in Companies b,
c. and D. There ara fffty-four men in
Company B. hfty-three IN Company c,
and hfty-two in Company d. Aside
from these, the order includes two
privates in Company A, one in Company
G. one unassigned In the Twenty-fifth
Infanefy, three priyates in Troop c,
Ninth Cavalry. and one in Troop H,
Tenth Cavalry.
Although, it is the opinion of the War
Department that such radical action
vas necessary for the good OF the ser
vice and discipline IN the army. many
officers have remarked that the col
ored soldiers died game" so TO speak,
for of nearly 40 not one would "squeal"
on the guilty ones, although ii is
thought certain that almost every one
Of them knows who participated in the
fatal Ti1ting.

bureau has been brought TO a high state
OF efficiency He IS ably assisted by
Joseph Z. Ralph. assistant director.
Two shifts OF emp.oyes are now being
worked in order 10 meet the heavy de-
mands made upon the bureau. The out
put Is constantly on the increase and
for this reason Director Sullivan recon-
mends in his annual report to the Sec
TetaTy Of the Treasury this year that an
entirely new building be erected for the
accommodation Of the bureau the pres
ent quarters being badly cramped. On
this point the report says:
Asks New Building.
II have the honor to recommend that
Congress be urged TO provide an entire
~ new building for the bureau. to be
designed and constructed for its espe-
ciaI needs II Is believed that with the
experience Of the last twenty-five years
a building can now be designed in every
way adapted 10 the work. having the
rooms for the several divisions convent
emily grouped with reference to the
work executed IN each and and to the
administrative offices. and embodying
all OF the improvements in building con-
str1cttOn and In the operation of ma
chlnery, Including electric light. power.
and other processes that have been de-
velOped during that period"
Director Sullivan believes that the on
~ adequate provision that can be made
10 enable the bureau TO furnish the
quantity Of notes and securities re-
Increase as may be required by the
natural growth Of the country is the
erection Of the new building for it's use.
