TROOPS AND SENATE.

TROOPS AND SENATE.
Although Secretary Of War Taft is
sued a statement declaring that the
transfer Of all colored troops from the
United States to the Philippines was
not in any way a result of the Browns
vile affair, it may be pretty positively
assumed that the change has been di-
rectly due to the Brownsville affair,
and other riots that have, within the
past few months, developed a feeling
against the colored soldiers.
A few years ago colored regiments
were stationed at many points on the
map without a murmur being heard
from people in the immediate vicini-
ties. Today an order stationing a col
ored regiment at any given point calls
forth protests from the people living
in that vicinity. 1t is very evident that
the new policy on the part Of the war
department is taken in view of this
feeling, regardless of the following
statement issued by Mr.. Taft:
1
"The present assignment of the col
ored regiments to the Philippines is
merely for an equal distribution of for
eign service. They have not been
there for four years. 1t now becomes
fair to them and to the other regiments
that they be assigned to the Philip
pines in due order.
Foreign service it should be stated,
| i,n ha nj,
cent and counts double time for retire
ment. 1t was pointed out at the de-
partment therefore, that the idea that
these orders were prejudicial to the
colored troops or were made on account
of the Brownsville affair, was utterly
| absurd"
But the new move of the administra
ton in transferring the troops to the
Philippines can in no way be taken as
a retrieve, even though it he admitted
that present conditions had to do with
the movement. In fact the administra
tior is to be commended for this meth
cd of quieting disturbances which
seemed to occur where these regi
ments had been recently stationed
The Brownsville matter was not the
only one. The Atlanta riots have
caused feeling, as have the Leaven
worth assaults by soldiers and the
events following the Brownsville af
fair.
The Brownsville matter is still para
mount with the United States senate
and it would appear that the senate
might earn its pay better by getting
down to relevant business.
The senate, under Foraker's resolu
ton, is to investigate the facts of the
Brownsville matter. Lodge has intro
duced an amendment which admits the
presidents right to dismiss the troops
If he so desired. 1t is stated on one
authority that the president has sale
he will stand on his action to the poin
of being impeached. Some congress
compelling the president to reinstatt
the dismissed three companies. This
of course, is absurd, and the presiden
is quoted as saying that he would dis
) regard the law, even though he were
) ousted from Office, but that he would
| rot be ousted he is right about it.
, The president is commander in chic
of the army. He has the power to dis
5 charge any soldier whom he believes
l ought to be discharged. The senate
| has right to investigate the matte
1 if it desires, but it can not interfere
r with the presidents power after the in
, vestigation is ended.

Course of the Bullets.

Much time was spent in studying
the course of the bullets which accord
ing to Mrs. Lilies story Of a burglar
firing the fatal shot, must have been
fired. Four sewing girls were sleep
ing in the house on the night of the
murder. Two of these testified that
they heard the first shot, that about
ten seconds interviewed before the sec
ond shot and that following the sec
ond, they heard Mrs. Lille scream
that some one had shot her husband.
At this time Mrs. Lille was in the
hall and she was the first to get down
stairs and telephone for help.
Mr.. Lille was shot in the right side
Of the head, the side next to his wife.
There was burned powder In the
wound, indicating that the shot was
burned powder on the curtains and
window pane through which the sec
ond shot was fired, indicating that the
revolver was held close to the window
when this shot was fired.
The theory of the state at the trial
was that Mrs. Lille shot her husband
while in bed by the light of the moon
then shining upon his head, then after
a short interval fired the second shot
at close range through the curtain and
window and then told the story of the
burglary.
The testimony of the sewing girls
was to the effect that between the first
and second shots there was absolute
silence and that after the second shot
Mrs. Lille screamed.
The evidence showed that for sew
eral years Mrs. Lille had been a pa
iron of bucket shop in David City.
Her dealings covered a period of about
four years, and in that time her losses
were approximately 800. In the pc
Rod from August Z to October 23, the
day before the murder, her losses were
$1,025. The theory of the state was
that she took her husbands life to get
his life insurance money to cover these
losses

THE LILLE CASE.

Omaha Bee: The crime for which
Mrs. Lille was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary was the murder of her hus-
band, which occurred about $40
o'clock on the morning of Friday, 064
tober "a, 1902. Mr., and Mrs. Lille
had been out the evening before visit
ing the formers sister and mother.
According to Mrs. Lilies story she
was awakened in the morning and saw
a man pointing a revolver at her. She
rolled off of the bed in order to avoid
being shot and the man fired through
the window and then fed She al
legged that 5000 had been taken from
the bureau drawer. Her husband had
been shot before she awoke.
In the trial Mrs. Lille was defended
| by Judge Miller and G. r. Aldrich.
Judge F. G.. Hamer Of Kearney is the
lawyer who made such persistent
| fight before the supreme court and the
governor, first for a new trial and then
for pardon. After three unsuccessful
attempts to secure new trial. Judge
Hamer declared he would never drop
the case until Mrs. Lille was out Of
the penitentiary. The trial began Feb
ruary 10, 1903, and lasted twenty-three
days. She was found guilty. Since
that time every effort has been made
to get her a new trial or pardon from
the penitentiary Probably no case
ever aroused as much interest in the
state as that of Mrs. Lille. One OF
the most amazing features af it was
that Mrs. Lille herself refused to say
a word. She kept absolute silence
through the trial as to the manner in
which her husband met his death. No
expense was spared to secure an &C
quittal. The case was argued for a
whole day. Her motion for a new
trial was argued for three days and
after several weeks of elaboration
was denied. Then there were lengthy
proceedings in the supreme court. All
failed and the verdict reached by the
jury in a short time was carried out
and the woman sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. There she has re-
NAMED, wrapped in her old silence
This one woman who knows how her
husband met his death has preserved
her silence during these years unbrok-

Coal Shortage This Winter.

The traffic department OF the Great
Northern railroad has the following
TO say about the fuel situation: 1t
is the company's desire that every
thing possible be done to prevent a
fuel shortage on the lines such as oc-
CURED last winter To this end please
personally take the matter up with
every coal dealer at your station and
urge upon them the importance of
securing supplies of coal early and
of inducing customers to provide
against possible shortage after cold
weather sets in. You should also talk
to customers and urge them TO fill
up their coal bins early. If you can
not get results in this please notify
me promptly.
