Waehter In Bohemia.

Not so very long ago Congressman
Frank G. Wachter of Maryland was
delivering a speech to a select assem-
bIage of Bohemians in Baltimore. He
unburdened himself Of all the political
fire in his supply and then sat down
amid laundering applause. The ap-
plause continued. 1t was plainly ''up
to" Mr.. Wachter to respond to the en-
core, but he wanted to do something
special. He leaned over to William
Weissager, a ward leader Of that end
Of town, and whispered:
This applause touches me, touches
me deeply. Give me line in Bohe-
mian that may thank them in their
own language"
Weissager promptly delivered the
line, which Mr.. Wachter as promptly
rehearsed. Frank always was "quick
study" At the proper moment he
arose and spoke the line In voice that
could be heard mile away.
Instantly there was a mad scramble
and rush for the doors. In half jiffy
the hall was empty. Wachter turned
in dismay to Weissager. For heav-
ems sake" he exclaimed hoarsely,
"what have / done? Where are they
all going"
Weissager reached for his hat and
replied: They're all downstairs wait
ing for you. You have just asked the
whole house to have a drink."-New

NEW SHORT STORIES


In addressing crowds President
Roosevelt frequently makes reference
to the sacrifices OF those who fought
IN the wars. To give emphasis 20 his
speech the president usually levels his
forehnger apparently at some veteran
within range and proceeds something
after this manner. "You. sir, down
there--you who wear that button In
your coat lapel"
Upon one occasion the president de-
llvered three speeches In one day to as
many different audiences. and each
time he pointed impressiyely to the
man with the button In his coat lapel.
All the presidents speeches were deliv-
cred within the territory OF metro
politan newspaper. and to cover"
each speech a different reporter had
been assigned.

rain" wrote the first reporter, stood
a veteran OF the civil war with his sew

The negro lawyers, Gilchrist
Stewart and n. B. Marshall, who
came here a few weeks ago as
agents for the American Constitu-
tional League, are spreading broad
cast over the country the most out
rageous lies concerning their ex-
perience in Brownsville and Mata-
moros, and also concerning alleged
evidence which they claim to have
obtained here proving that band
of desperadoes composed of citizens
committed the raid upon the town
on Aug. - last, instead of the
negro soldiers. These agents evil
IDENTIFY believe in telling good lie
while they are about it, as will be
seen from the following report of
their fabricatious as published in
the New York Times and Cincin-
natl Enquirer of July 81:
New York, July ga Wash
ington dispatch to the Times is as
follows:
Direct and positive evidence that
Brownsville, Texas, was not shot
up" by three companies of the col
ored Twenty-ffth Infantry is ex-
pected from several new witnesses
who, it is asserted, will appear be-
fore the Senate Committee on Milf
tary Affairs when, in November, it
resumes its investigation of the
riot of August Is, 1906. These
witnesses, it is declared. will tes-
tify that the town of Brownsville
was ''shot up by an organized
band of desperate men, who since
that time have been terrorizing
those residents of the town who are
willing to tell the whole story.
This sensational evidence, it is
said, has been obtained after two
parties of detectives had been
driven out of Brownsville.
n. E. Marshall, of Washington,
an attorney for the Constitution
League, and Gilchrist Stewart, a
member of the same organization,
are credited with .having sought
out the evidence by which it is ex-
pected to prove the contentious Of
Senator Foraker that the colored
soldiers are not guilty. The wit
nesses of Marshall and Stewart will
go further, it is asserted, and name
the men said to be guilty. Mar.
shall is a graduate Of Harvard. He
may be enc of the principal wit
nesses before the Senate Commit
tee, as he will, be able to testify
from personal experience as to the
desperate extremes to which the
alleged conspirators in Brownsville
are willing to go in an effort to
suppress the evidence in the case.
PLOT TO GUST NEGRoEs.
According to the allegations
made by the Constitution League,
the purpose of inciting the riot was
to force the Government to remove
tie colored soldiers from Browns
vile. The residents there had pro-
tested to the Texas Senators and
also to the President against the
sending of the colored soldiers to
Brownsville. Failing in this effort
to change the purpose of the Gov
eminent, at several secret meetings
plans were carefully arranged by
which the soldiers could be driven
away from the Brownsville post.
Some of the more desperate fav-
ored a night attack upon the bar
racks. but the counsel of the more
cautious was for a sham riot. 1t
was thought by this that the color
ed troops could be drawn ont of
the barracks by the shooting in the

town in such manner as to create
an impression that the soldiers
were making an attack upon
Brownsville and that the conspira-
tors would thus be able to appear
in the role of defenders of then
homes.
A dark night was selected, ac-
cording to the allegation made,
and, disguised as colored soldiers,
crowd of Brownsville men start
ed out to terrorize the town and
draw an attack upon themselves
from the barracks. 1t was not plan
ned by the leaders to kill anybody
in Brownsville. The, shooting OF
Frank Natus, the bartender, &C
cording to the view of the Consti-
tuition League representatives who
investigated it, was the result of a
mistake.
VICTIMS IN THE CONSPIRACY.
The bartender, it is said, was
fully advised of the plans of the
conspirators, and when the crowd
rushed up past his saloon he ran
to the door with the intention of
taking part in the fun" He dis
charged his revolver IN the air, but
the rioters thought he was resist
ing and shot him. In the darkness
they were not able to recognize
him.
The shooting of Lieutenant Do
minguez is laid at the door of some
of that officers political enemies.
Il will say this much" said
Marshall today, the real con-
spiracy of silence is in Browns
vile and not among the celored
soldiers. When Stewart andI went
to Brownsville we were disguised
as day laborers. Yet before we
reached the town it was evident
that the leaders of the mob that is
terrorizing the town were advised
that we were coming. At a station
9 miles from Brownsville solitary
passenger, armed with a rife,
boarded train and made a careful
search of every car. Further than
this when we reached Brownsville
at midnight more than two hours
late we found a large crowd at the
station to receive US.
On account of our disguise they
did not recognize us as the attor-
neys they were looking for, and as
we saw clearly that it was not safe
to stay in Brownsville we slipped
over to the Mexican side and con-
Quoted our investigation from
Matamoros. 1t is surely a strange
commentary on this Government
when its peaceable citizens are
compelled to seek safety on foreign
soil under the Mexican flag.
THREATENED WITH ARREST.
''P. Merrill Griffith, the Ameri-
can Consul at Matamoros, threat
ened us with arrest as suspicious
characters for the purpose of fore
ing us to disclose cur identity and
the purpose of our visit to Mata
moros. When we told him who
we were, John w. Vann, the Col
lector of the port of Brownsville,
was notified. Mr.. Griffith told US
We were there on a FOOLS GRAND,
and refused to assist US in our in
vestigation.
"On the very day that we made
ourselves known to the Consul, in
response to a call from Mr.. Crit
eth, Collector Vann came to Mata-
moros. He found Us in the
American Consul's Office and in
quired of US as to our headquarters.
