Il would attempt to swim the Mis-
ssippi river. even at this season of the
year, to give Senator Foraker an OPP
portunoity to c~ross-examine me about
those criminal negro soldiers he is vol
unfairly defending in the senate" said
Captain William ]. Mcdonald of IN
Texas rangers yesterday afternoon at
the Menger hotel. Continuing, he
said: II see this Senator 'Fireater'
casts some reflections on the Texas
rangers and wants to know what they
are organized for. Let me tell him,
they are organized to run down just
such criminals al the senator from
Ohio is trying to make appear an
gelic at this time. AS to his inSin-
nations that in charging hell with a
bucket of water | would ave no other
use for the water, let me inform him
that water is the only thing | drink.
] do not touch a drop of anything in
t~oXicating and do not even drink COT
fee. II looks to me from the way Mr..
Foraker is rampaging about as des-
perate a set of criminals as there IS
in this country today unpublished, that
he has very little acquaintance with
water as a beverage.
He saws tina he doesn't know what
resented about his remarks except
IL was the word gentleman Let me
tell him he is no gentleman. He ppea
to bc an inflated windbag emitting
vapory sentences about something he
knows absolutely nothing or very lit
tie about. He ought to have these
criminal negroes in his W town;
then he could see their brutal traits in
all their responsiveness, and its dollars

of his speeches"
Mcdonald Loves Roosevelt.
Captain Mcdonald has the greatest
respect and admiration for President
Roosevelt. He said: "Mr. Roosevelt is
a man, a whole man, with grit and
backbone. am a dyed-in-the-wool
democrat. but there is no man in
America for whom | have a greater
admiration than for the present Pres
ident of the United States. He does
not let race nor color interfere with
his sense of justice. He is for the peo-
pie. Foraker is playing to he CALLER
les. doing more to excite race preJu-
dice in his speeches thar can well be
imagined. | don't care TO say anything
more about him; he Is not worth IL

McDonald's New Evidence. q
Captain Mcdonald came to San An J
tonic especially to see Assistant At /
torney General Purdy and to give him |
new testimony in the investiga-
ion: These companies of the Twen- $

they were being conveyed to ]
Fort Brown. The colored troops were
sleepers on the Sap train in

They went into the other
airs and tore up all the signs for ne i
yroes wherever they could find them. a
Then they asked many questions about a
white women at Brownsville n c
made foul destinations about them. s

brought out before. and Conductor Z

Some New History. 5
Talking about his part in the ar 4
est of the negroes at Brownsville, $
Mcdonald said that what {
him particularly was the sud b
len change of front of several of the Il
white citizens in the town. a
There were some lively times ahead O
If Captain Mcdonald when he went o
o Brownsville to investigate tho p
up of the town Immediately b
