CAPTAIN MACKLIN TESTiFIES.
He Dces Not Now Believe Negro Troops
 AShot Unv Brownsville.

Washington, April 1.-The testimony of Captain Edgar A. Macklin, of Com pany c. Twenty-fifth Infantry, was taken by the senate committee on mill itary affairs to-day in the Brownsville investigation. It proved interesting particularly for the reason that Mack lin is to be tried by court martial after his return to Texas and for the further reason that he was shot by an uniden- tifed masked negro at Fort Reno after the negro soldiers were takei away from Fort Brown. Although there is no evidence tending to show that the Brownsville affray was responsible for the attack upon him, many persons have expressed the opinion that the two incidents are connected, particu- larly as he was the first of the white officers to produce damaging evidence against the former soldiers. He does not now believe the negroes were gull ty of shooting up Brownsville, accord ing to his story told on the stand to- day.

PROF. MITCHELL DEFENDED
BOMB THROWN INTO CINCINNATI
 MINISTER'S MEETING.

Rev. Davis W. Clark Declares That
 Theological Dogmas Are "Curios
 That Could Well be Kept on the Top
 shelr'-Great scholar of Whom the
 Methodist Church May We'll be Proud
 Virtually ExiIcd.
 Cincinnati, O., April 1. Protesting against the manner in which the board of bishops has been trying the case of Prof. H. c. Mitchell of Boston univer- sity on a charge of teaching heresy, Rev. David w Clark, retiring president of the Methodist Preachers union of Cincinnati, in his farewell address to that body to-day, declared that theo- logical dogmas are "curios that could well be kept on the top shelf. Imme- diately there was storm, mostly of protest.
 However, a few of the ministers sid- ed with Dr. Clark.
 Dr. Clark said: "The board of bishops received him (MitchelD practically con- demned already and with his case un- justly weakened. Here is a great schol- ar, of whom the Methodist church may well be proud virtually exiled.
 Now I am opposed to making any more theological definitions. The kingdom of God is within you. You cannot write it in books It is love and service and faith. Our dogmas may we'll be kept as curios and placed on the top shelf We may keep them as we do our 'rule of conduct for preachers |, which we have not destroyed, but which we simply preserve as a curio although we know 1t cannot be ob- served and enforced in this way. and represents the ideas of the past"
 Rev. Fl. O. Ehwalt said; 'rhe church will suffer an inestimable loss in cast ing out so lovely soul as is Dr. Mitch ell
 Rev Albert Thomas said 'The ac- tion of the bishops in regard to Prof. Mitchell was vicious and a discredit to the church. pr. Mitchell is an inspira- ton. If he is a heretic I should like to be one like him"
 Most of the other preachers present fissented from Dr. Clark's assertions in regard to the relegating church dogmas although they passed no judgment on the case of Prof. Mitchell.

BITTER AND IMPORTANT
 CITY CAMPAIGN CLOSES
CHICAGO WILL DECIDE TODAY THE FATE OF THE CAR
 LINES.

Outright Municipal Ownership or
 Twenty-Year Conditional Franchises,
 Stands Upon the Former Platform,
 Up for Re-eIectIon--OppOsed by Post
 master Busse, the Republican May
 orally Candidate--First Term of Four
 Yecrs.
 Chicago, April 1.-Chicago's street car question, which has been before the public for the last ten years, will be settled at the polls tomorrow at the mayoralty election if the voters adopt by referendum vote the ordinances re- gently passed by the city council oven Mayor E. F. Dunnes veto, granting twenty year franchises to the two street car companies.
 If these ordinances fail of public adoption and Mayor Dunne, the demo- cratic candidate, is reelected, efforts will be made at once according to May or Dunne, to procure immediate muni- cipal ownership of the street railways by condemnation and purchase
 The ordinances before the people pro- vide that the city, on six months na- tice, may acquire the street railway systems for fifty million dollars plus the cost of rehabilitation, which is to be undertaken immediately under the supervision of a city engineer. The ordinances also provide for through routes, universal transfers, tive-cent fares and the payment to the city of ilfty-five per cent. of the net income. The books of the companies are to be open to the city.
 Several non-partisan organizations have worked with the republicans who are supporting Postmaster Fred A. Busse for mayor, to procure the adop- ton of the ordinances, and the predic- ton was made tonight by the heads of these independent bodies that the ordi- Mances would be adopted tomorrow.
 Mayor Dunne believes that the peo- pie want immediate ownership and that they will re-elect him and reject the ordinances. The mayor elected to- morrow will serve four years instead of two as heretofore
 The campaign which closed tonight with both parties holding scores of meetings all over the city, has been the most spirited fight for mayor that has ever taken place In Chicago. The feeling between the candidates and their various lieutenants became so bit- ter during the campaign that "person- al abuse was freely disbursed.
 The weather indications for to-mor- row are for clear and cool, and large vote is looked for
