tail the trouble that had previously
occurred between ci izens and mem
hers of the Twenty fifth Infantry at

aud the witness said that on account
OF the feeling engeudered against the
soldiers he had determined no. to re-

trouble, because of the prejudice
against the race.

Harris said he was not tre}ted
badly; he did not put himself in a
position TO be SO treated. but that the
men generally complained because
they were compelled to enter saloons
by the rear door He could not give
an instance OF III treatment of others
but he wanted, be said, "the Ameri-
can right of going where he pleased"
The witness believed the fixing on
the night of the Brownsville affray
Fad come principally from Win

said he was familiar with the sounds
of various makes of weapons and that
he heard no firing from Springfields
with which the Tweuty-ffth was
equipped.
The witness was then excused and

government offices In Washington re
ported that for a six months period
ending December 81 1906, postage up
on matter they sent through mails

The committee estimates that it is
fair to assume that S. 100000 worth

annually from Washington without
credit to the postoffice department.
"Franks" Offset Deficit.
The deficit in the postoffice depart
ment for the fiscal year of 1906 was
$10,516,996 and the committee esti-
mates this would be entirely covered
if it were possible to compute the
amount of mail 'franked' by federal
officials in all parts Of the country,
in addition to the amoUnt of free mail
going out Of Washington.
The increases recommended IN the
