GOOD IMPRESSIONS.

Globe Headquarters, 81 S. Center
Street.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 1.-THE
Penrose court-martial, which was in
progress to-day at Fort Sam Houston,
was decidedly the most important in
the annals of the court-martial 1t
brought out the fact that previous tes-
timony touching upon the attempted
identity of the Negro soldiers and
their connection with the Browns
vile shoot up" was merely matter of
conjecture. The testimony showed
that the majority of the citizens and
many of the officers of the town Of
Brownsville wear all kinds of gov
ernment uniforms, and the fact is
now discredited among many, that
the men seen going into the post on
the night of the 18th and those point
ed out by several of the witnesses,
were not enlisted men. The lady who
testified yesterday and the gentleman
who testified to seeing men dressed in
khaki trousers and blue shirts, must
have seen citizens of Brownsvill. The
fact developed very startling to-day
that the lieutenant of police himself
wore khaki uniform and it could
have been he that went into the post.
1t is also urged in this section that
he Tweny-sixth Infantry, which pre-
ceded the Twenty-fifth Infantry in
occupying the quarters at Fort Brown,
left ammunition and other govern
ment property in the vicinity. 1t is a
fact well established among residents
in and about post headquarters and
barracks that enlisted men not only
dispose of clothes, blouses, shirts,
trousers and shoes, but that they
often sell direct from the commissary
department. Some of them are be-
lieved to have disposed Of revolvers
and ammunition to citizens. Not
withstanding this is violation to
army rules and regulations. No mem
Der of the court-marital has been in
terviewed by your correspondent, but
from the general impression cleaned
on the streets about the city and
thy in favor of the discharged soldiers
is growing constantly. Much hope is
entertained as to the favorable out
come.

THE coLoRED ELEVATOR.

A unique organization whose object
Is to encourage employees to put aside
a small portion of their earnings each
week for a rainy day and to encour-
age them in the saving habit, had its
birth about November 1, 1906, in West
Nashville, on the grounds of Wander
bile University. The organization is
known as the "Colored Elevator" It's
membership constitutes mostly the
employees at Vanderbilt University,
especially those at Kissam Hall
These young men through their ef-
forts perfected very strong organiza,
tion with r. w. Wingfield, president;
Monroe Modley, vice president; A. N.
Owens, secretary; Walter Whitaker,
treasurer. They require from each
member deposit of so cents per week
with the treasurer. A receipt for this
so cents is given by the treasurer to
the depositor as proof that this
amount is held in trust to his credit.
There are no restricting laws and by
laws regulating this fund, except the
moral set forth in the intent of the
organization. A member may with
draw his amount at will. They have
managed to bring in up to the present
time, $1,000, which will be disbursed
to the members at the close of school.
The organization also provides that
certain nights in the week be set apart
for debating. They discuss current
topics respecting the race and its con-
dition throughout the country Most
of the members reside in the state
of Tennessee, but few of them, how
ever, are from Nashville. The fol-
lowing are some of the staunch work
ers of the organization Messrs. Bald
win Fitzgerald, Robert Mason, Hofard
Evans, John Massey, Percy Durhams,
Lewis and Preston Webb. They pro
pose to continue the organization, and
have been encouraged by the addition
of new members from time to time.

Do not delay, but act and act at

Now, If the Negro is called to trial

Then there is the Constitution to be
adopted by the new state of Oklahoma
The clause making legal "Jim Grow"
cars is to be submitted to a vote of
the people separate from other arti-
cles. Had the Council money we
could organize and defeat that act.
We must do something to help our
Oklahoma brethren. For the race to
surrender without an honest struggle,
will show us to be too big towards for
any decent man to fight for.
A prominent man writing from the
State of Arkansas, says: "The most
troublesome thing that we have on our
hands at present is the Arkansas Leg
islature. They are grinding away
slowly but surely, trying as best they
can to engulf the Negro and strip him
of all his constitutional rights. They
have already introduced servants
bill which In my opinion, if enacted
will be pure and simple peonage
They have also introduced the seq
regation bill, which means if enacted
into law, the denial of a vast mum
ber of Negro children the right ant

in a nutshell mean, involuntary servi

THE PORTERS OF THE CAPITOL
WERE NOT GUILTY.
Charges We're GrOundIess.
CHARGES THAT WE'RE EVIDENT.
LY coNcocTED PROVEN TO BE
GRoUNDLEss-BoTH MEN RE.
LIABLE CITIZENS.

An afternoon newspaper contained.
last Thursday, an account of the ar
rest of two Of the porters employed at
the Capitol on the charge of stealing
stamps. SO far as the publication re-
fers to one Of the men, Mr.. Andrew
Cheatham it appears that tho charges
were groundless. A Globe representa-
tive in an interview with one Of the
relatives Of Mr.. Cheatham ELECTED
the following information:
"Mr. Cheatham, who has been en-
ployed at the Capitol for several
years, was in one of the Offices when
Mr.. Norris, the man who had been ac-
cused of disposing of the stamps, was
arrested and was requested to accom-
pany the officer and the accused man.
This he readily did thinking that he
might be Of some service. After be-
ing questioned, he was further re.
quested to accompany the two men to
the Jail, where he remained in the Of
flee for considerable time. After
the officers had detained him here for
quite while, they decided TO lock
him up.
"Mr. Cheatham did not know that
he had been accused of anything
wrong, and knowing his innocence OF
any crime, made no effort to commu
nicate with his friends. But when
informed that he was to be locked up
called up the Office of Capt. John Nor
ton over the telephone, and the of
ficials of the office ordered him re
leased at once.
capt. Morton, in whose Office Mr.
Oheatham works, was completely sur
prised at the arrest. He has implicit
confidence in the honesty of Mr.
Cheatham and does not believe that HI
has been guilty of the nisappropria
tion of stamps. Capt. Morton, no
any of those employed in his Office
was responsible for the account pub
lished in the paper.
"In fact, there seems to be nothing
in the charge that either Of the twt
porters were guilty other than the ef
fort of deputy sheriff to get repu
tation for some slick detective work
Roth of the men have been turned
loose and the charges dropped

THE NATIONAL AFRo-AMERIcAN
COUNCIL.

The following letter has been sent to
the colored press by Corresponding
Secretary L. G. Jordan, Of Louisville,
Ky:
Louisville, KY, Feb. 4, 19O7.-My
Dear Comrade-In company with
President Walters and Attorney Wet
more, l called on Senator Foraker,
during January.
His noble soul goes ont for the dis
honorably discharged men of the 25th
U. s. Regiment. The justice he seeks
will come. The American people as a
whole are too just to allow great
wrong to 100000 of their number,
be they black or white, pass without
proper investigation.
We are interested in the soldiers,
and more than that, in the principle
of justice involved that will be too far
reaching in its effect to go unde-
Tended.
Lieut.. Flipper, who is now living
under another flag, and Cadet Whit
taker, who had his ear cut off in a
hazing bee, would be as honored to-
day by the American government as
Captain Dreyfus is. by the French, If
the Negro had stood by them like the
Jews stood by Dreyfus. Our failure
in that has seen us steadily beaten
back and back until the Negro cannot
enter a military academy in this
country. Nearly every State has dis
banded their Negro militia and this
stroke of the President has put a
mountain in the Negroes pathway that
must be scaled before he can enter as
formerly in the United States Army.
Again l say, unless. we make just
contention, aided by Senator Foraker

buried in the earth and cattle to eat
grass from the substance of my blood;
but now I'm to be cast out in the
world a condemned man, but l tell
you honest | don't know anything
about who did that shooting"
When asked why he had made a
special plea for himself the witness
said he was obliged to look out for
Saunders first; he knew he was not
guilty and if any others were they
should be punished
Saunders had not completed his
statement when the committee ad-
journed to-day.
The committee has been investi-
eating the Brownsville affair for a
week, and there has not been word of
evidence adduced thus far tending to
reveal the identity of a single man
engaged in the shooting. Nine wit
nesses have thus far been examined,
and in general their testimony has
been thes anne. There are still nearly
thirty eX-members of the regiment
who have been summoned and are
here to be heard. At the present
rate of progress the last man will not
be heard before the close of the ses-
sion. 1t is costing about $100 a day
to pay the witnesses and their ex.
penses. In addition to this cost the
Government is paying the cost of
bringing the men here, and they have
come from all parts of the country.
