ern Train Causes Worry In
Waiting Crowd.

There was considerable worry last
night on the part of many Ely men
and women who expected relatives
or friends 10 arrive on the Nevada
Northern passenger train, due here
at Cos because of the non arrival
of the train until nearly 12:30.
The train was reported four hours
late early In the evening, and short
time afterward the wires between Ely
and Cobre We're blown down by a
gale which swept Steptoe Valley near
Cobrc.
No word could then be had of the
train and as the hours dragged by
the apprehension grew. When the
train arrived. however, II was learn
ed thai the delay was caused by the
wait for the oasthound Southern Pa
citic passenger train.
IL S. Elliott of Ely, who was pas-
senger ON this train. said that the de-
lay was caused by two freight wrecks
one Of which was in the spowsheds
and the other at Humboldt, New. No
one was killed In these wrecks but
the tracks were blockaded and the
passenger train could not pass
The Nevada Northern is due to get
away from Cobre at 1:30 O'Clock, but

lieved. has grown with the inordinate
desire for the dollar, has increased with
the growth of commercialism, the build
ing up of mighty fortunes, the central

"Ig." said the senator, more power Is
needed, let an amendment be submitted
to this senate. Let the peoples consent
be given to the surrender Of their rights
Without their consent let nothing be done
by an unwarranted construction"
Mr.. Overman held there was no limit
to the power of congress to deal with
commerce which is interstate in its nature
He heartily Endorsed recent measures ex-
ercising this control, such as the rate bill
the pure food law and the meat inspection
regulation, but there was a decided dis
tnction between regulating interstate COM
merce and making regulations concerning
commercial production The mere fact
| that goods were manufactured In one state
for transmission to another did not In
his opinion, make those goods subject OF
interstate commerce.
He concluded that If congress could reg
ulate child labor in the factory and the
mine it could regulate II on the farm and
could regulate the very detail OF every
industry.

PLOT TOElLL WHITE OFFICERS
Extended Conspiracy Among Negro Troops
Discovered ut Fort Reno.
UsPtc1s Al FOUR OTHER FORTS
Arrest of Several Men Discharged I'm
Disgrace Expected sOOn-COrpOraI
Knowles Bound over to
Grand Jury.

Ell RENO. Okl., Jan. S-BelIef of the
army officers at Fort Reno that con-
spiracy to murder every white officer at
Fort Reno, beginning with Captain Edgar
A. Macklin-against whom nearly every
negro soldier at the post entertalns a per-
sonal grudge as a result of the affair at
Brownsville, Tex, and the discharge of
the negro soldiers that followed-and then
proceeding down the list OF officers, became
known today as a result of the preliminary
hearing in the case OF Edward l.. Knowles,
corporal of company A, Twenty-fifth in
fantry, who was held on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill Captain Macklln
of company C, Twenty-fifth infantry, on
the night of December q Knowles was
bound over to await the action of the
Canadian county grand jury at the open
ing term of court.
All OF the officers now go heavily armed
and protected throughout the night.
Every effort has been hade by the officers
at the post to keep the alleged conspiracy
secret, but II Is learned that an investi-
CATION is now being conducted at several
army posts and important places through
out the country, and within a short time
several arrests of the members of the troop
recently discharged in disgrace are ex-
pected to follow.
Information was received here tonight
that the arrest of a negro soldier has been
made at LaJunta, Colo, today. Suspicion
rests upon negro soldiers at Fort Meade,
S. D., and at three other points. The ar
rests of these men had been postponed until
the hearing in the case Of Corporal
Knowles was concluded today at Fort
Reno, when 1t was hoped that some further
Information would be secured to incrim-
mate other persons in this alleged con-
spiracy.

SENATORS CONSIDER COMPROMISE
Agreement to Omit Constitutional
Questions from Brownsville Case.

Agreement to Omit Constitutional
Questions from Brownsville Case.
WASHINGTON, jan s.-Practically all
Of today was given over by senate leaders
of both parties to effort to bring about
harmony between opposing views concern
ing the proposed investigation Of the ARRAY
at Brownsville, Tex. What amounts to an
agreement between Senators Foraker ana
Lodge has been attained by their friends,
but inasmuch as It was decided not to
present the compromise until all of tho
senators desiring to do so had made
speeches on the subject of the dismissal of
the negro troops 1t is not absolutely GER
tain that the peace plans will not be upset.
The compromise is not greatly different
from the resolution presented by Senator
Lodge and similar one which Senator
Foraker had intended to offer for a sub
stitute for his original resolution. 1t pro-
vides for the investigation by the senate
committee of military affairs as Browns
Vile and to this to be added provisions
that a subcommittee be sent to Brownsville
and that the expenses OF the investigation
be paid out of the contingent fund of the
senate. Such resolution would ignore
the constitutional and legal questions that
have been debated for several days
Senator Lodge declares that he Is salts
fed with the program and Senator Foraker
says he is not particular about phraseology
so long as an investigation is ordered and
committee sent to Brownsville to take
testimony. The situation now is said to
be the same as 1t was before the speech
of Senator Lodge yesterday. Both sides
were then agreed to leave out the constitu-
tional questions and they had been ignored
In the substitute offered by Senator Lodge.
Unless the speeches yet to be made create
resentment on one side or the other, 1t is
believed the compromise will be effective.

Appropriation Bill.

MIR. Hull Explains Provisions of Army
Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The house I'M
medately after the approval of the jour
nal today began the consideration of the
military appropriation bill. Chairman
Hull began general debate by a compre-
hensive statement of the contents OF the
army budget, which carries $4,000, Geo
more than last year. Other speeches were
made by Mr.. Slayden of Texas on his bill
to discontinue the enlistment of negroes
in the army Of the United States; by Mr..
zenor OF Indiana against the ship subsidy
bill and by Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee, who
spoke in communication of the ninety
second anniversary Of the battle OF New
Orleans. without finishing general debate
the house at 1850 adjourned.
Chairman Hull OF the military AFFAIRS
committee in opening the debate on the
army appropriation bill today said the
measure carried an increase of little
over two and one-half million dollars
over the total appropriation of last year
notwithstanding the utmost EFFORT to keep
the amount within that sum. He-thOught
Il would be impossible for the government
10 continue this arm OF defense without In
the near future showing a much larger
increase.
Mr.. Hull said there already had beer
expended about s7s.0OO.O 900 for coast forth
fcations, and he said It was proposed e
continue the expenditure until the amount
reached about sl25.0Oo.0oO. He said thu
artillery branch OF the army was not suf
ncient to give one shift to the guns al
ready emplaced, the pay OF the artillery
not being sufficient to enable the govern
ment to secure enlistments in that branei
OF the service.
This congress-" Mr.. Hull said, "shoul'
either increase the artillery arm and in
crease the pay OF skilled men OF the eoas
artillery or It should refuse from now oil
TO appropriate one dollar for coast de
Tense"

That is hardly fair. II you have not kept

The matter WAS finally settled by the

The evidence related chiefly to statistics

handling stock shipments at the yards has
been decreased within the last few years
