AUSTIN, Jan. 1.-THE Texas SEN
ate remained in session until 10:30
tonight debating resolutions to inves-
tigate Senator Bailey's alleged connec-
ton with the Waters-Pierce Oil Com
pany. The senate has been wrestling
with the Bailey proposition since l
o'clock today. 1t was the understand
ing that the senate would not con-
slider the matter in any form until
this afternoon and then only in COM
mittee Early this morning, however,
an investigation resolution was called
up and SUBJ offered providing for
committee to ascertain whether an in
vesigation was necessary. Having
majority of one vote, the Bailey
forces tried to rush the substitute
through, but were prevented by an ex-
tended debate. Their effort will be re-
newed tomorrow.

ordered printed. Speech making on
the subject continued until $50
o'clock. Senator Mallory, Indorsing
the action Of the President, opened the
discussion. He held that the Presi
dent might have gone too far In pre-
venting the re-enlistment OF the SOL
dlcrs involved. but otherwise he ap-
proved the Presidents order of dis
charge. when Clay took the floor, the
debate was given lively turn by
Williams Interruptions. Clay said the
people of Georgia heartily endorsed
the Presidents action.

Discipline Demanded Severe Pun
ishment for Those
Culpable.
GUILTY MEN WERE SHIELDED
These Discharged Were Either Rascals
or Their Defenders-Results Of
Memorable Night When Troops
Shot up Town.

WASHINGTON, Jan 14.-President
Roosevelt sent to the Senate a spe-
cia, message on the Brownsville affair
from which the following are extracts
IN my message to the Senate treat
ing Of the dismissal without honor of
certain-named members of the three
companies Of the Twenty-fifth In
fantry. l gave the reports of officers
upon which the dismissal was based.
These reports were made in accordance
with the custom in such cases, for it
would, of course, be impossible to pre-
serve discipline in the army save oy
pursuing precisely the course that in
this case was pursued. l herewith
transmit Secretary Taft's report and
the testimony taken under the oath of
the various witnesses examined in
the course of the investigation.
1t appears from the testimony that
on the night of August 13, 1906, sew
eral crimes were committed by some
person or persons in the city of
Brownsville. Among thesa We're the
following:
(A)-The murder of Frank Natus.
(B)-The assault with intent to kill
the lieutenant of police, Dominique.
whose horse was killed under him. and
whose arm was shot so severely that
ii had to be amputated.
(C)-The assault with intent to kill
Mr.. and Mrs. Hale Odin and their
three little boys who were in the win
dow of the Miller Hotel.
O)-The shooting into several pri-
vate residences of the city of Browns
VILE three of them containing women
and children.
(E)-The shooting at and slightly
wounding Of Precedio.
AS to the motive for the commission
of these crimes, it appears that trouble
of a more or less serious kind had oc-
CURED between individual members of
the company and individual citizens of
Brownsville, eliminating in complaints
which resulted in the soldiers being
confined within the limits of the gar
rison on the evening of the day in
question
The evidence as will be seen, shows
beyond any possibility of honest ques-
ton that some individuals among the
colored troops whom I had dismissed
committed the outrages mentioned;
and that some or all of the other in
dividuals whom I dismissed had
knowledge of the deed and shielded
from the law those who committed it.
The order was within my discretion
under the constitution and the laws,
and cannot be reviewed or reversed
save by another executive order. The
facts did not merely warrant the ac-
tion I took-they rendered such ac-
tion imperative unless I was to prove
false to my sworn duty. If any ons
of the men discharged hereafter shows
to my satisfaction that he is clear of
guilt, or of shielding the guilty, will
take what action Is warranted, but the |
