NEGRO SOLDIER
ASSAULTED WOMAN
Says Senator Cul-
berson in Speech
Caused Riot.
PRESIDENT WAS JUSTIFIED
In Discharging Members of
25th Infantry--.F oraker Re-
solution Caused Discussion.

Washington, d. G., jan 3.-The
Senate resumed its sessions at noon
today. The Foraker resolution pro.
vldng for an inquiry into the dis
charge of the colored troops of the
Twenty-ffth Infantry was called up.
Senator Culberson addressed the
Senate on the subject and said the
conduct of the negro soldiers at
Brownsville had been very irritating,
relating that on August a, the day be-
fore the shooting up of the town, a
criminal assault had been committed
by one of the soldiers on the wife of
n reputable citizen and that no ar
rests had been made for this crime.
Fact That Soldiers Were Negroes Not
Material.
In defending President Roosevelt,
Senator Culberson said the fact that
the troops were negroes had nothing
to do with their discharge. The con.
fusion as to the legal question in
volved was, he said, responsible for
the statement that the President had
no authority to make such a dis
charge. The Presidents constitu-
tional authority and the authority
given him by the articles of war COW
cred the case and made the action le-
gal, he declared
Texans Would Defend Women With
Their Lives.
Senator Culberson declared in clos
ing that the people Of Texas would
defend the honor of their women with
their lives and advised strongly
against any action that would lead to
conflict between the races. Mr..
Foraker followed with an argument in
favor of his resolution and at the con-
cusion of his remarks the Senate
agreed to postpone further action on
the resolution until next Monday.
Senate Opposed to Raise in Salaries
A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Washington says the Senate
committee has turned down the pro
position of the House for more sal
aries for members of Congress and
has even cut out an increase for the
speaker vice president and the men,
bers of the cabinet.

ROCK ISLAND
PACIFIC ROUTE
Reported Proposed Arizona-San Diego
Line Is to Be Part of Big
System.

Yuma, Ariz., Jan. 3.-It is reported
on good authority that the proposed
San Diego and Arizona Railroad is
Rock Island project and that it will
complete the link of the Rock Island
by way of El Paso 1t has been cur
rently believed that the Rock Island
interests are in control of the Ell Paso
4 Southwestern which runs from
Tucumcari, New Mexico, to Benson,
Arizona, a distance of 62G miles. 1t
connects with the Rock Island at Tu-
cumcaii and through trackage rights
Rock Island trains are operated over
that division into Ell Paso The San
Diego & Arizona is to run from Ben
son to San Diego, California
John ID. Spreckles the sugar mag
nate of San Francisco, has been elect
ed president Of the new company. He
is said to represent the Rock Island
interests. The route of the proposed
road is through Yuma, where it will
connect with the Southern Pacific
Railroad. The new company has ac-
quired all of the franchises and hold
ings of the San Diego Eastern Rail
way Company, which had the building
of similar line of road in view.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the ex-
ecutive boards of the Rock Island &
Frisco, visited San Diego about four
years ago and shortly thereafter it
was announced that extensive tracts
Of ground for port and terminal fa-
cilities had been purchased there on
behalf of Mr.. Yoakum for use when
the time came for building the new
trans-continental road The proposed
road from Benson to San Diego will
be much shorter than the Southern
Paciflc's line between Benson and Los
Angeles.
The Ell paso & Southwestern has
the distinct advantage of having the
lowest grade of any railroad which
crosses the continental divide. 1t has
branch lines to all of the leading min
ing districts in Arizona and New Mex
leo. It also taps the great Dawson
coal field in New Mexico.
