RECALLED BY THE SENATE.
Bill for the Incorporation of Local
Banks

Senator Gallinger offered a resolution in
the Senate yesterday afternoon requesting
the House of Representatives to return to
the Senate Senate bill 69G6. to provide for
the incorporation of banks in the District
of Columbia. This resolution was unani-
mousIy agreed to. 1t was the result of the
protest that has been made by men promi-
nent in financial circles against the legisla-
ton Members of the Washington stock ex-
change and others have been active in OPP
posing this bill, and although they had as
surances that the bill would not be re-
ported to the House from the District
committee they still desired to offset the
prestige given to the proposition by its pass
age by the Senate In order to counteract
the effect of that action Mr.. Gallinger Of
fered his resolution yesterday, and it was
adopted.
The bill was opposed as ruinous to broker
age houses and private bankers, who would
be obliged to incorporate with capital of
not less than 100000. In the case of a
branch house of member of the New York
stock exchange the old methods of doing
business would have to be abandoned. No
corporation can be a member of the New
York stock exchange, and according to the
proposed law no Individual firm could
conduct brokerage business in this city

poses of the Commissioners without the OBJ
jectionable features of this measure will be

The main object of the bill was to give sta

of liberty. She said, In part:
That every civilized country revered and
honored some patriot citizen who had bat
tied for national liberty. In the United
States our hero was George Washington,
called affectionately the father of his coun-
try In England it was Oliver Cromwell. In
Italy 1t is Gen. Giuseppe Garibaldi. Strange
ly enough Gen. Garbaldi was born on July

His Birthplace.
George Washington was born in the quiet
agricultural district of old Virginia and was
student and civil engineer; Gar1baldi in
NICE, Italy. and was venturesome fisher
man. Washington was self-controlled
man. enduring the hardships of campaign
with his men, but always laying the founda-
tons of stable government.
While Garibaldi loved liberty, he loved
adventure quite as much. At one time he
was condemned to death for conspiring with
MazZini, and only evaded the sentence by
escaping to South America on a sailing YES
sci, where he aided an insurrection and be-
came the hero of Montevideo. About 1S49
he went to Rome to aid Mazzini in the es-
adjustment Of an Italian republic, but the
effort was badly planned. and he escaped
to the United States and was, in 1850, a
great hero.
Later he ventured to the island Of
Sapiia' oH the rocky coast OF Sardinia,
which was his home for the rest Of his life
He procured the annexation to Italy of
beautiful Sicily, and again tried to liberate
Rome, but unsuccessfully, and was impris-
oned. but later pardoned and released
when the government of Italy by the
church was overthrOwn, and when Rome
became the capital of the United Italy, Gar
lbaldi. then nearly seventy years of age,
took his seat in the Italian parliament, and
ne died In his island home in 1882, well
loved, well honored by the world and CO
pecially by his countrymen. but in fact he
had little to do in the emancipation of Italy.

of this great country in it's infancy, and he
was not only general. but our President

NEGROES CONFESSED
TO SHOOTING UP TOWN OF
BROWNVILLE, TEXAS.
Belonged to Twenty-fifth Infantry, u.
S. A., but Were Discharged by Presi-
Noted Case, 1t Is Believed, viii
Now Be Cleared Up.

Fort Worth, Texas, March ia
special to the Telegram from Calves
ten says By the confession of five
negroes who belonged to the Twenty
fifth infantry who were discharged by
President Roosevelt for shooting up
the town of brownsville, Texas, on the
night of August 10, 1906, an entirely
new phase has been given the case,
the most sensational that has come to
light concerning the affair, which has
attracted the attention of the whole
country since the outrage was com
mitted. The five negroes have arrived
here and from what can be learned
they make a clean breast of every
thing and furnish testimony which
will no doubt help clear up the case.
The discharged soldiers bear each
other out in the statement that a Mex
lean woman was the primary cause of
the riot which cost the life of one
man, resulting in the shooting up of
several houses and eventually the dis,
charge of the whole regiment. They
claim that one of the soldiers had
taken up with a Mexics / woman who
lived in the city of BIZ" 4sVille, near
the barracks, and when ne and others
who had been going with the woman
found white man in her house they
became enraged and going to the bar
racks, called for volunteers to help
shoot up the town." as they put it.
They claim that quite a number of
soldiers responded to the call and i'm
mediately the shooting began. While
hunting for the white man they took
occasion to fire their guns and even.
tually became so enraged that they
fired into everything they saw. They
hurried back to the barracks after the
shooting had been done and from that
hour they nave been absolutely quiet
about the affair
