Jan. 1 VIII see a mighty shift
ing ana transferring IN railway
circles. particularly among mem
bcrs Of the Hartman family.
The News" has semi-0Ticial
authority for announcing that r.
+. Calvin. vice president and

ern Pacific IS to go down TO New
Orleans; that A. l.. Mohler, vice
president and general manager
Of the Union Pacific win go over
to San Francisco as general
manager OF Hnrriman's coast
lines 10 succeed Mr. calvin; that
W. L. Park, now gen
eral superintendent OF the Union
Pacific at Omaha win eft at Mr..
Mohler's desk In Omaha and
that W. A. whitney. now sup
erintendeut OF the Wyoming di-
vision OF the Union Pacific at
Cheyenne will succeed Mr.. Park.
There is no indication that any
more changes are 20 be made In
Hartman circles In this city. W.
II. Bancroft, vice president and
general manager OF the oregon
short Line viii undoubtedly con-
tinue 10 M that important posi-
ton as few men besides himself
can hn and j. NJ. Davis will
continue as acting superinten-
dent Of the Oregon Short Line.
ANY one of the four changes
mentioned Is sufficient to create
a stir in railroad and industrial
circles. Those in a position 10
know say the Southern Pacific

brought up TO satisfactory condi-
ton and the men who accom-
plished the seemingly impossible

at was outrageous for Senator
Foraker to try to make out that we
would shoot into our own houses
and kill our own citizens" said L..
R. Gwen, member of the party,
to a reporter who met the train at
st. Louis. "It Senator Foraker
ever visited Brownsville he would
be tarred and feathered."
Baker, who is a United States
inspector of customs at Browns
vile, said: Even if Roosevelt
had not discharged the entire COM
pany, the Negro troops could not
have remained in Brownsville.
The people would have killed
them"
..'The people in Brownsville are
for Roosevelt" said Cowen. But
it would not look well in print to
say what they think of Foraker
All the people in Brownsville
wanted to deal with the Negroes
themselves. They would have set
tied the situation. Why, if the
city of Brownsville had sent out
word that they needed help from
the State of Texas, the trains could
not have carried the men there
fast enough"

CHANGED HIS MIND

A six-shooter incident enlivened
the trip from Texrs of the party of
Brownsville riot witnesses recently
who were enroute to Washington
to testify. X. M. Wishart, st.
Louis business man, who was on
the train gave out this account OF
the incident:
THE party of witnesses got on
at midnight Wednesday, and [ was
sitting in the smoker with a big
Texan, who had not even got on
with the party.
THE Negro porter on the train
knew Immediately that this party
was from Brownsville, and when
the conductor told him to make up
the berths he refused. The con-
ductor came back and remarked to
us that he did not know what to
do as the porter would not make
up the berths.
well you should have seen that
Texan. He pulled out long six
shooter and remarked, suavely
'Ah propose to see, sab, whethah
he will make up the berths or not
sah.'
HE walked back with the con-
ductor and going up to the Negro,
remarked: Don't you think you

SOME ASUMP T|ONS

Bishop w. M. Brown of the
Episcopal diocese of Arkansas, has
written a book on The Crusial
Race Question" covering the race
problem for the social, political
and religious viewpoint. The au-
thor undertakes to establish the
following assumptions:
/. No race can amount to any
thing without self government
2. The only realm in which the
Negro can hope to govern himself
is that of religion.
3. Under present conditions the
American Negro is degenerating
instead of advancing towards civi.
lization.
4. The Afro can only
be saved from utter ruin and ex-
tinction by the bridging of the ev-
er widening and deepening gulf
which now exists between him and
the Anglo American.
5. This necessary bridging can
not be done without the complete
drawing of the color line around
the social, political and religious
realms.
