BROWNvlLlE
INQUIRY BEGINS
Promises to Be as Motor
ions a Case as Drey-
fus Affair

Special to Evening Teller.
I WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4.-The
"Affaire de Brownsville" promises to
occupy as much space in American
history as does the famous Dreyfus
case in the history of the French re-
public.
| The one certainly bids fair to be as
| long drawn out as the other.
The senate having tired somewhat
of the controversy has shifted it over
, to the committee on military affairs,
which today began the taking of testi-
mony concerning the famous ARRAY
of the negro soldiers.
The fun committee is sitting in the
case and commissioned and non-com-
missioned officers of the discharged
negro battalion, with others who are
supposed to be acquainted with the
facts have been summoned before the
committee to tell all they know about
the case.
May Cause Bitterness.
1t is hoped that the inquiry will be
the bitter controversy which develop
ed during the consideration Of the
resolution In the senate. Some doubt
is expressed on this point. however, as
It is known that the members OF the
committee are aligned on two sides in
regard to the case.
While no counsel representing any
OF the parties interested will be per-
mitted to attend the hearing. 1t has
been decided that the case shall be
conducted along the lines of a regular
trial. One Of the members OF the COM
mittee, probably Senator Foraker, will
present the case on behalf of the en-
listed men.
Other members Of the committee.
of course, are to have the privilege
of cross examining the men. This pro-
cedure has been agreed upon In order
to keep the examination within bounds

BASEBALL LOOMS
UP ON HORIZON
COLLEGE WILL HAVE THE FAST
EST NINE IN THE HISTORY
OF INSTITUTION.

With the entire infield intact, the
pitching staff the same as last year and
with all the outfield back, two new
catchers and several other candidates
with scholastic regulations bidding for
places on the team, baseball prospects
for the coming spring are brighter
than ever before in the history of the
college.
Shubert, Schmidt, butcher and Bor-
leske, admittedly the fastest bunch on
a collegiate infield last year, will all be
back at their old positions. Besides
these players, there are several others
who will try for the infield. Marcus
Will probably be eligible again. this
spring and will pitch as will lobe
Rigsby, always as steady as your grand
fathers clock, who will dish hot ones
over the plate this year Behind the
ba, Whitman will be strong. Both
Brubaker and Stanley Borleske, al
ready well known through their foot
bali exploits, are said to be good with
the big mitt and can line a ball from
home to second to catch any kind of q
runner. If Brubaker can throw base
bali as we'll as he can a football, he Will
make good in this part of the game In
the outfield, Morgan. Peringer, Basset'
and Cushman are all back. All are gooc
feeders, but the two latter were veal
in batting last year. This will be fixec
up this year however. and there is ne
doubt but that Whitman will have
hard hitting outfield.

Manager Marvin is blowing the dia-
mond and will salt it so that vegeta-
ton on the infield will be killed. 1t will
be worked down in the spring and salt
ed again. then rolled and put in first
class shape. With the grandstand in its
excellent position for viewing the
games and bleachers which will seat
more than 1000 spectators, there will
be plenty of accommodations for all
who attend the games.
And there will be plenty of games
Text spring. w. S. c. plays two games
here this year, Idaho will play in the
local diamond. U. of W. will more than
likely contribute her usual quota of
two games. Oregon will. probably play
here again and several other games
are to be arranged. A trip north to
Spokane, Pullman, Moscow and other
points is practically assured and it
lis the hope of the management to take
the team down into oregon during the
Easter holidays. One of the largest
schedules ever played will be put on
this spring.
With a good coach, better material
than was ever known in the baseball
history of the school and with the stu
dents and town behind them, Whit
man will clean up everything on the
diamond this next season At least the
captain and players can see it no other
way. Last year the team played first
class bali and this year they will play
better.
