Alleged Plot of Hartman, Hearst
and Others TO Defeat Roose-
veltian Policies.
As TOLD At THE WHITE HOUSE
Plotters Met at Dinner and Fully Dis.
cussed the Matter.
Didn't Know Thee Was a "Chiel
Amang Them Takin' Notes"
Man in Trouble Who Sold
the Hartman Letter.

Washington, April 5.-It is said on
authority at the White House that
there is ample evidence at hand for
the opinion the president holds that
there is a movement afoot to defeat
his policies in the next congress and
in the next national convention. 1t is
declared that the "Hearst-Harriman-
Rockefeller combination" has already
a fund of 100000 with which to car
ry on its campaign in opposition to
the president. It was further authori-
tauvely said:
Extends Across the Continent.
''They are gathering ~ the loose
ends, but the movement will f1atten
out. 1t is apparent in Ohio and Penn
sylvania; in fact it extends across the
entire continent. Thx scheme was
thoroughly divulged at a recent dinner
and reached the White House through
a friend of the president The scheme
of the people behind the movement Is
to buy newspapers, public men and
others who may assist the opponents
of the president in their work.
Plan of the Schemers Outlined.
1t was also stated authoritatively at
the White House that part of the plan
to encompass the defeat of the presi-
dents policy is the election of state
delegations to the national convention
from those states known to favor the
president, these delegates to be In
Structed for President Roosevelt not
withstanding knowledge in advance
that the president will not be a candi-
date for denomination. Then, accord
ing to the statement made these dele
gates, upon the president declining to
be candidate for renomination-as
he has said he would decline-are to
consider themselves free, and are to be
switched over to some opponent of the
president and the policies for which he
is standing.

BROWNSVILLE AGAIN
How Major Penrose Came to
Doubt That His Men
Were Guilty.
IMPOSSIBLE STORIES WERE TOLD
Testimony of an Officer Who Made
Tests-Could Not Believe What
Brownsville Citizens Had
Testified.

Washington. April ). = After Major
mander of the negro troops at Browns
vile, completed his testimony the sen.
ate committee on military affairs ex-
amined two of the officers who made
tests at Fort Mcintosh to determine
whether it was possible to distinguish
between white, negro and Mexican sol
diers, wearing uniforms. on moonlight
or starlight nights. The conclusion OF
these officers was that such a thing
is impossible, and they asserted that
in making their tests they made the
conditions as near as possible like the
conditions were said to be at Browns
vile on the night of the shooting. The
bearing of this is that citizens of
Brownsville swore freely that they
identified the men shooting up the
town as negro soldiers.
When Penrose Changed His Mind.
Major Penrose was cross-examined
by Senator Warner. The witness hav-
ing testified that on the morning fol-
lowing the shooting he believed his
men were guilty, but that he was now
convinced that the men were innocent,
he was asked: when did you change
your opinion on the question of wheth-
er your men had been implicated in
the shooting?" AT about the conclu,
sion of my court martial two weeks
ago." replied Major Penrose.
He Doubted the Witnesses.
Responding to a request that he state
what fact caused him to reach the be-
lief that his men We're innocent the
major said that few witnesses had
been able to state to his satisfaction
that they had seen soldiers in town
during the shooting. He said. that wit
nesses attempted to tell distances at
which they recognized soldiers and dis
tinguished uniformed men, which he
declared to be absolutely impossible
on that night, as it was very dark.
The major added to this explanation
that his mind had been undergoing q
change for some time before.
Still More Doubt Thereon.
The doubt of the veracity or relia-
bility of the witnesses expressed by
Major Penrose was accumulated later
when Lieutenant Blythe, who was one
of the officers who made the tests as
to Identification at night, was asked
by Senator Overman: IF ten respec-
table citizens of Brownsville were to
come here and say they saw negro sol
| diers running through the streets on
the night of the shooting ARRAY, fir
ing as they ran. would you think they
were telling the truth?" The witness
replied that he would know now that
they couldn't be.

H. A. Paine began putting in the

at Eighth avenue and Broadway this
morning. The entire excavation for
combined one hundred and seventy
five foot frontage has been completed
and the last of the five different own
ers announced today the giving of the
contract for the erection of the build
ing. This will make q solid building
front of two hundred feet on this cor
ner, by far the largest expanse of
building projected that will be erected
Immediately. The putting up of the
Knots building at the north end of
the same block will give this block
a prestige over the others along
Broadway that will not be readily
overcome.

Other features which have had an i'm
portant bearing on the market are the
closing up of large Dear accounts
which were open at the beginning of
the year. the dearness of money. which
has been especially marked during the
closing months and which for a time
caused some weakness, the forward
price being quoted in October higher
than cash for the first time in three and
a half years. The Indian bazaars.
helped by favorable trade and a good
demand from the governments of the
native states, have been large buyers.
China was moderate buyer in June.
while early in the year shipments We're
but Russia, which took so much during
1905. has scarcely bought at all.
THE Straits Settlements fixed eX-
changc value of their new dollars at rs
4d on January 20, but owing to the rise
in the value of silver have been forced
to consider the expediency of either
reducing the finenesS from 300 to .S00
or the weight from 416 grains to 312
grains, but it has not yet been finally
settled which course will be adopted.
when the price of silver rose over
291ad the sale of Mexican dollars be-
came profitable and it is estimated that
S42, 100000 were exported for sale. AT
one time in Mexico grave fears were
felt at the continued drain of currency
from the country, and strong remon-
strances were made to the banks to
check the movement, and eventually
an export duty of 10 per cent was i'm
posed. Latterly, as gold for the new
coinage flowed into the country, the eX-
port of dollars has again been facili-
tated."
