SUSPENOS ORDER
FOR DISCHARGE
OF NEGRO TROOPS

Washington, Nov. 20-Acting under or
ders of Secretary Taft. Mai. Gen. Aims
worth. the military secretary. has decided
that further discharges OF the men OF the
three negro companies OF the Twenty
Nth Infantry. on account of the shooting
at Brownsville. Tex, be suspended pend
ing further orders.
The action, il is stated last night, is in
order 10 await the return of Secretary
Taft 10 Washington today and Is pend
ing further advices from President Roose-
welt who has been communicated with
on the subject
The war department has been deluged
with protests against the order reciting
the discharge OF the three companies. II
was reported last night that a further in
vestigation will be made and that certain
officers may 5e called on for an explana-
ton In connection with the movements OF
these men at the time the Brownsville in
cident occurred.
The three companies OF the Twenty
fifth Infantry were ordered discharged
because IL Is not safe TO have TO have
them I'm the army They cannot be trust
ed. and for the protection Of the public
and the preservation of the discipline OF
the army their discharge is necessary
Acting Secretary oliver OF the war de-
pa rtment said yesterday. THE idea seems
TO prevail that the men were ordered dis
charged because they refused TO tell on
their companions and because they are
black. Nothing could be further from the
truth.
These soldiers shot up a town. All of
them refuse ia tell anything about the
disgraceful affair at Brownsville, which
resulted i'm murder. The companies are
shielding murderers 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 II these
| companies were permitted TO remain IN
the service and were TO shoot up another
| town and again endanger the lives or cit
liens. the war department would be in ar
! indefensible position.
1T is impossible TO court-martial eacl
! of the men i'm these companies, for q
! charge cannot be preferred against every
| one OF the members of the companies. The
I government has no means OF Furnishing

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
INTERESTS PRESIDENT
Thinks Exclusively Literary Studies
Unfit the Pupils for Manual
Labor.

Washington, Sept President
Roosevelt's secretary in letter to the
secretary Of the board Of education of

report Of = b. Reynolds who at the
presidents direction investigated the
needs Of the district school, says:
The president is especially interest
ed in that part in which Mr.. Reynolds
speaks Of the need Of industrial training.
The president cordially agrees with Mr..
Reynolds statement that children who
pursue exclusively literary and semi
literary studies are little inclined TO
manual labor and are not equipped for
il, and vet most Of these children are
forced to this labor which they, III con-
sequence, undertake unwilIinglv without
possessing either pride or skill in their
work.
