CLASH BETWEEN SENATOR'S

When Senator Overman remarked
30 Mr.. Foraker that he was trying 20
prove the Negroes innocent, Mr.. For
aker replied:
II don't wonder that you think so,
AS nothing has been shown 70 the
contrary. And you will try to show
that they were guilty"
Senator Overman said ali he want
ed was the facts, and Mr.. Foraker
suggested that that, too, was precise
ly what he wanted and nothing more.
None OF Senator Foraker's expect
ed witnesses mad arrived when the
committee met yesterday, and an ad-
journment Of the Brownsville inves-
tigation was taken until to-day.
Chairman Warren had put in the re-
cord another telegram of denial in
relation 20 the alleged confession OF
ID. c. Gray, at Galveston, Tex, that
Negro soldiers shot up the town.
The telegram was one that had been
sent by Recruiting Officer Chamber
lain to Brig. Gen. McCaskey, OF the
Department of Texas.
The committee will either take a
recess next Saturday to await the
coming OF all the officers of the 25th
Infantry who were at Brownsville
or at that time fix a date for its
prospective visit TO Brownsville.

Thomas Taylor formerly OF Com
pany b, Twenty-fifth Infantry, one Of
the men whose gun is included in
the list said TO have been used in
the shooting ARRAY at Brownsville
according 10 the expert examination
OF shells picked up in the streets
there, was the next witness. TAYLOR
said that his gun was inspected on
the morning following the shooting
and that IL was found 10 be clean.
Before that time he said that his
gun had not been fred since the com
pany left Fort Niobrara, and he CON
Cured in the conclusion Of Senator
Foraker, as evidenced by questions.
| that II the shells picked up had been
tired from his gun. they must have
been fired at Niobrara and then taken
to Brownsville
He expressed the opinion that II
his gun had been used in the shoot
Ing up of the town IL could not have
been cleaned in the dark so as to
have passed Inspection the next morn
ing. The examination of Taylor had
not been completed when an adjourn

FORAKER's POINT SUSTAINED

The stenographer' notes sustained
the point made by Senator Foraker.
VINO then added that he would leave
his statement In the record.
Mr. Warner replied. still warmly.
that the Senator's remark might stay

Foraker insisted that the question

that the Senator from Missouri would

Washington Post. March 20. OH
The report Of the experts Of the
Springfield Arsenal. VINO submitted
their finding to Secretary Taft tend
ing 70 prove beyond any possible
doubt that the bullets picked up in
the streets of Brownsville during the
affair OF August 10 last were fred
from guns known TO be in possession
OF the Twenty-fifth Infantry, is TO be
attacked by Senator Foraker.
Yesterday the Senator sought TO
introduce documentary testimony TO
this end before the Senate investi-
eating committee, but on objection
the matter went over to another day.
Senator Foraker notified the commit
tee that he expected 10 show that
these experts were in error, and his
declaration was made with suCa as
surance that members of the com
mittee were convinced that the Ohio
Senator, at least, had no doubt as
10 the importance of the evidence.
The matter that Senator Foraker
sought 20 put into the record was
the evidence OF Lieut. Lawrason, Of
the 25th Infantry. before the court
martial which is trying Maj. Penrose.
Curdy before the Senate Committee
SEEKS TO DISCREDIT REPORT.
The purpose of Senator Foraker in
including the testimony OF Lieut..
Lawrason was TO discredit the report
of Lieut.. Hawkins. who made the mi
croscopic inspection OF the shells and
bullets picked up in Brownsville af-
ter the shooting, and also the guns
OF the battalion OF the Twenty-fftn
Infantry at Fort Brown. Lieut..
Hawkins report showed that a num-
Der OF the shells examined had been
fred from two OF the guns Of Com
pany b, which were of the reserve
equipment and held in a strong
chest in charge OF the Quartermaster
sergeant OF the company, Sergt. Nc
Curdy.
Lieut.. Lawrason testified before
the court-martial that directly after
the shooting ne had gone with the
Quartermaster sergeant TO a store
room and found the strong chest
with the guns intact. and the chest
covered with several iron cots and
other company property The guns
were in the same condition they had
been in when shipped from Fort Nj
obrara. The statement OF Sergt. Nc
Curdy before the Senate Committee
was practically to the same effect
II, therefore, Senator Foraker can
prove that the reserve guns were in
the strong chest and had not been
removed. this evidence will have "a
strong tendency, it is argued, toward
disproving the report Of Lieut.. Haw-
kins that two OF the guns used in
shooting up the town were taken
from Company BIS storehouse.
IL is probable that Lieut.. I.awra-
son will be examined upon this sub
ject when ne appears before the com
mittee

OWNS MANY INDUSTRIES.
Petition In Bankruptcy Against South
ern Steel Company.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 25.-An in
voluntary petition in bankruptcy was
filed in the federal court here against
the Southern Steel company. The
creditors seeking the bankruptcy or
der are the Birmingham Coal and
Iron company, the Sayre Mining and
Manufacturing company and the
Cahaba Coal company. The Southern
Steel company is capitalized at $685.
100000 and owns big steel plant at
Gadsden, steel rod, wire and nail mills
at Ensley, coal mines at Altoona and
Virginia City and ore mines through
out the Birmingham district, as well
as coke ovens and other properties.
Moses Taylor of New York is pres
ident and E. T. Schiller of Birming-
ham general manager.
The petition filed in court here al
1eges that the company committed an
act of bankruptcy in acknowledging,
in writing, its inability to pay its
debts. It is also averred in the petit
ton that the defendant company has
been insolvent for six months. The
filing Of the petition was no surprise
in local financial and Industrial circles,
where some such action has been
looked for for some time.
