TAFT GIVES 4 RESPITE
TO NEGRO SOLDIERS
Suspends the Presidents Order
Diminishing the Battalion
SCENE AT FORT RENO, OKLA.
Twenty-four Of the Men Were Dis
missed-Delay in Carrying Out
the Order-Some Men Had
Started For Their Homes.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Taft
on his own responsibility instructed
the Military Secretary, General Aims
worth, to: telegraph to Fort Reno
directing that the execution Of the
Presidents order to dismiss three
negro companies of the Twenty-ffth
Regiment, be stopped until MI.
Roosevelt's return
An order from a Cabinet officer
suspending the operation of a pre-
vious one issued by his chief, the
President Of the United States, Is an
event probably without precedent. It
Is certainly most unusual and extra
ordinary. The action vas taken,
however, when Secretary Taft learned
that the actual discharge had been
started.
A Cabinet officer might issue such
an order with the knowledge and
consent of the President, but no In
stance is now recalled in which with
out the Presidents permission any
of his subordinates has ever ven
tured to interfere with an Executive
order. '
The occurrence Of so remarkable
an event is taken to indicate that
Mr.. Taft has enlisted zealously In the
cause Of the discharged soldiers, and
is determined to uphold them at any
cost. There Is probably no other
member Of the Cabinet, not even Mr..
Bonaparte, who would have ventured
to place himself 80 squarely across
the Presidents path.

Men Were Paid Of.

Fort Reno, Oklahoma:-Before the
receipt Of Secretary Taft's order sus-
pending the Presidents decree dis
missing the three negro companies
of the Twenty-ffth Infantry, twenty
four members Of Company B had
been expelled from the army without
honor.
"Pretty rough weather to be
turned out in the cold, but we will
have to stand this" was almost the
only comment.
The first snow storm Of the season
was raging here. The men in the
barracks waited the summons to ap-
pear at the Adjutant's office. Ar
rangements had been made with a
bank to furnish the necessary cash.
The soldiers were marched into the
Office in groups of from eight to ten.
AS each soldier was identified by
CAPTAIN Kinney he received pay,
transportation and his discharge.
About $500 was paid. J 4
Some Of tho men proceeded at
once to their distant homes, some
few stopping off at Ell Reno to pur-
chase clothing. They were orderly
and we'll behaved and not one OF
them displayed any ugly feeling.

Every Part of the United States

New York, Aug. Airs. Russell
Sage has been overwhelmed with beg
ging letters from all over the United
States and from foreign countries.
Some of them show by their post
marks they were mailed as soon as
the news of Mr.. Sage's death was
made public.
Mrs. Sage today, at her home at
Lawrence, L. l., authorized the state
ment that she will pay no attention
to begging letters. She does not read
them, beyond such Derusal as is nee
essary to establish their character.
None of them will be answered, and
it will be useless to inclOse stamps.
More than 700 letters asking Mrs.
Sage for aid reached her at her Law
renee cottage this week. and several
hundred more were addressed to the
Russell Sage office. The clerks at the
Office threw these letters into the
waste basket. Mrs. Sage never sees

before the States Attorney Healy,
intending to show that the Armour

owners of public elevators from stOr-
ing grain belonging to themselves in

A shary decline in prices of oats
last month, in consequence of which
some of the smaller shippers and
dealers lost large sums of money is
said to have been directly due to the
alleged evil practices of some of the

sion that the market was threatened
with flood of new oats when such

Democratic National Committee. has
announced that he will bring the
name of W. J. Bryan before the New
York Democratic State convention in
a resolution endorsing him as the
Democratic candidate for president in
1908, and there is much speculation
among politicians as to what attitude
the supporters of W. R. Hearst will
take on the resolution. 1t is under
stood that the resolution TO be pro
posed by Mr. Mack will be similar in
tenor to those which have been adopt
ed by democratic conventions in many

residence in Richmond or any other
part OF this hospital district
Though it is asserted that Holt
claims Richmond as his home. this
must be established. il is asserted. in
some legal manner. However. it was
apparent to the authorities that Holt
was not proper person to be given
liberty and he himself had admitted
10 Judge Converse that there were
times when the state ~ his mind was
such that he was not accountable for
his actions. Yesterday a commission
of lunacy acted on the case and de-
clared the former minister to be a fit

Evidence Was Complete.

Evidence brought before the com
mission was similar to that presented
to Judge Converse in the city court a
few weeks ago. Application for
Hollis admission to Easthaven has
formally been made by County Clerk
Haas and Richmond is given as the
mans residence. In the meantime,
Holt will be held in Jail. Should it
be held that he cannot be admitted to
the Eastern Indiana Hospital it is not
plain what disposition can be made
of the man. 1t is believed that Holt
has been something of wanderer
for several years past and therefore
it might be legally claimed that Rich
mOnd was his residence in the alb
sence of evidence to show that he
had any other residence.

some Of the packages which contained
prizes for men ] believe there were
pipes.
During the absence Of the young lady
who had this feat in charge, the
crowd Of children became quite large,
and they managed affairs to suit them
selves, thereby possessing themselves
Of the dreadful pipes.
The friend Of the boys has made
grieyous mistake first, IN attacking
the 80 called Christian church, by
writing an anonymous letter, which
one is taught to consider rather cow
ardly proceeding and which is very
bad example to his boy friends;
secondly, IN writing at all until pos
sessed of all the facts of the ease.
Do not let the christian man" flat
ter himself that We are spending time
to exonerate in his eyes the dummy
with the pipe. We are simply stating
facts for the benefit of the few who
may be influenced by his Christian
letter. Our statement of facts is abso-
