THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is the who works
The man who tolls while the next man shrks;
The man who stands in his deep distress
With his head held high in the deadly press
Yes, he is the man who wins
The man who wins is the who knows
The value of pain and the worth of woes
Who lesson learns from the man who fails
And moral finds in his mournful walls.
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins Is the who stays
In the unsought paths and the rocky ways,
And, perhaps who fingers and then,
To help some failure to rise again,
Yes, he is the man who wins.
And the man who wins is the who hears
The curse of the envous In his ears,
But who goes his way with his head held high
And passes the wrecks of the failures by
For he is the man who wins.

NEWPORT. R. l.. May 10.--The sub. marines Lake and Octopus came to the surface after being submerged for twenty-four hours near the naval coal ing station at Bradford. The mem- bers of the trial board decided not to go down on either of the boats. but re- mained nearby on board the gunboat Hist during the twenty-four hours that the submarines were under water. There were nine men on board the Lake and sixteen on the Octopus. At the point where the boats went down the water was from twenty-four 10 twenty-nine feet deep. After having been down twenty-four hours the board inspected tle condition of the boats and their occupants. Messages were sent to the surface at intervals by means of a submarine signaling outfit.

SAW NEGROES SHOOT
Mexican Gives Direct Evidence
 In Brownsville Affray.
KENDALL WAS WITH PERRY IN 1853
Declared Soldiers of Twenty-fifth In- fantry Climbed Barrack Wall and Opened Fire During Night
 of "shcoting Up."

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The exam ination of witnesses on behalf of the government began in the Brownsville investigation before the senate con- mittee on military affairs. George w. Kendall of Brownsville, Tex, the first witness. testified that on the night of Aug. 13. when the affray occurred in Brownsville, he saw men whom he de- elared to be negro soldiers climb over the brick wall from Fort Brown and enter the town. He said also that he saw a group of from three to five men inside the garrison gate and saw the flash of two or three shots fired by men in this group. These men. he said, moved up the wall on the inside and joined another group of ten or twelve men. and all of them climbed over the wall at the alley between Elizabeth and Washington streets. This Is the alley where a number of shells were picked up the following morning. Kendall could not tell in which direc- ton the men went after reaching the garrison road.
 Thus direct testimony connecting ne- gro soldiers with the shooting affray at Brownsville. Tex, on the night of Aug. 13 last was given for the first time in the investigation. The three witnesses who told their stories were Mir. and Mrs. George W. Kendall and Jose Martinez. Mexican. All of them on the night of the shooting occupied houses on Garrison road. directly op- posite the military post. All three tes- tified tc seeing or hearing soldiers leave the post during the shooting. and Martinez testified that he saw the men shooting as they ran.
 Kendall is seventy-three years of age and Is blind in one eve. He lives over the Western Union telegraph office on the corner of Elizabeth street and Gar rison road. about thirty-fve feet from the main gate entering the military reservation. He said he was awakened by shooting and immediately got'up and went tO the window and there ob- served the men in the manner de scribed.
 Kendall declared that he had no prej- udice against the negro soldiers. On the contrary he had been glad when they were ordered to Brownsville. He was formerly in the navy and served under Perry on his Japanese erpedi- ton in 1S51
 On crCss examination Senator For aker secured an admission from Rem dall that the night was very dark and that there were no lights at the point where be had declared that be saw EegrO soldiers climb the wall

His attorneys were all gone-forced away by his decision to tell all and throw himself upon the courts mercy.
 Judge Dunne made an order setting the case over two weeks for sentence. Then Ruef arose and wearily, still pale and trembling, went out of the courtroom with Detective Burns. The two walked to the corner of Sacra- mento and Webster streets, where they entered an automobile and drove to the house on Fillmore street which is Ruef's prison.
 While in consultation with his at- torneys during the recess Ruef tainted.
 Though Abraham Ruef has formally declared himself to be guilty of the charge on which he was about to be tried. he nevertheless proclaims his in- nocence. He confesses that he is gull ty of having connived at corruption in municipal affairs. but he denies, with all the emphasis nres in his unhappy position can command, that he is gull ty of the crime of extortion charged against him. He declares that his sole motive in accusing himself in open court was to save the lives of those who are nearest and dearest to him, his aged father and mother, his maiden sister and a niece.
 '1 changed my plea to guilty today" he said. but pledge my solemn word that I am innocent have been gull ty of conniving at the corruption of municipal officials by corporations. but in these French restaurants cases am not guilty.
 ''I will not say at the present mo- ment that Mayor Schmitz is guilty of the charges that have been brought against him or that he is innocent. will say this: wanted to break away from Schmitz before his reelection T year ago last November and said to him: I am sick of the whole thing. and want to get out. l can't stand for all these labor union buns you have gath cred around you and will appoint.

RUEF'S UNIQUE PLEA
Frisco Politician Pleads Guilty,
 but Asserts Innocence.
SCHHITz GATHERED "GlNG OF BUNS"
Under Great Emotional Strain, Law yer once Called Boss of Golden Gate City Makes Sacrifice
 to Save His Family.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1a-Abra- ham Ruef, nervous and pallid, 1n Judge Dunne's court pleaded guilty to the crime of extortion, the felony for which he was to have been tried by the jury already selected.
 Before Ruef arose, his attorneys Henry Ach. Samuel Shortridge and Frank Murphy-one by one, arose and stated that owing to a grave difference of opinion with their client each of them must withdraw from the case.
 Ruef rose, trembling under a great emotional strain. He spoke with great difficulty. By this time the courtroom was crowded, and most of the specta- tors were standing. Ruef first ac- knowledged the work done by his vari- ous attorneys. thanking them for their friendship, counsel and guidance. Then he continued:
 This trial has become a threatening danger to my health, both mental and physical. I am unable to bear the strain my longer. The strain on those nearest and dearest to me is under mining them. They are on the verge of collapse. Their lives hang fin the bal ance. and I must take some action"
 Ruef. who evidently was laboring under great emotion. after pausing a moment continued:
 ''It is true that in order to hold to- Na. .I, had built up with great difficulty did lower the high political ideal that I had hitherto upheld. Last night I reached the conclusion that there might still be an opportunity to make some effort to restore myself in the public favor and be power for good. I will do all that still lies in my power to help overthrow the system which has mnde possible the terrible corrup- ton of public officials To do this will work even as the humblest citizen.

Never fhciess. on accOnnt of the reasons stat ei I withdrew my plea of not guilty and entered Plea of guiIty.-
