AIDS NEGROES CASE.
Mexican at Brownsville Hear
 ing 8 Star Witness.
SAYS IOWNsIES FIRED ON TROOPS
Absolutely Certain Soldiers Did Not
 "Sho0t Up' Town From Bar racks - Citizens Wore Khaki Uniforms.

WASHINGTON, March f6.-At the senate hearing an eyewitness to many of the incidents connected with the shooting affray at Brownsville, Tex, was put on the stand by Senator Fora, ker, and before he concluded he had been cross examined by nearly every member of the senate committee on military affairs, which is conducting an investigation Of the alleged shoot ing up of Brownsville by members Of the Twenty-fifth infantry.
 He was Macias c. Tomayo, Mexi- can carpenter Of Brownsville, who also had the contract for the scavenger work at Fort Brown. He was working between the barracks and the wall separating the town from the reserva. tion when the shooting began and was in a position to have seen soldiers leave the barracks and enter the town and return to the barracks if they had done so. Claiming to be entirely dis interested and having no acquaintance with the negro soldiers. his evidence was the best defense of the negroes yet given in the pending Investigation.
 When the shooting began on the night of Aug. 13 Tomayo was working in the rear of B barracks, he said, and the first shot caused him to straighten up and listen. He said that it came from the alley. about half block from the reservation. Another shot was fired almost immediately, and Tomayo quickly extinguished his lantern for fear of being made target. He says there followed a fusillade of shots, and the bullets whistled over the barracks as if fired toward the administration building. He thought there were about twenty shots in the fusillade. After the volley, he said, he got on his cart and drove out between B and D bar racks toward the administration build ing. The remainder of his story was in relation to the call to arms and the formation of the companies. which he saw incident to the completion of his scavenger work.
 During the time of the firing Tomayt says he is certain that soldiers did no, leave the barracks to enter the town nor enter the barracks from the town but on cross examination he would mol say that it would have been impossible for soldiers to have hidden along tht wall in the rear of the outhouses and woodsheds. He was absolutely cer tain. though, that soldiers could moi have fired, from the barracks into tht town without his seeing the flashes oi the guns and hearing the reports ol them. On these points he was closely cross questioned by Senators Warner Frazier, Foster and Overman, but h' could not be shaken.
 Tomayo is an intelligent appearing Mexican. He Is not much more thar five feet tall and very dark. He testi | fled that he is under the average neigh and that most of the citizens O Brownsville are larger, and the police will average about six feet. He sait that it would be difficult at night t tell them from negroes. All of the DO licemen wore khaki clothing. and man. of the citizens also wore khaki. sait | the witness. 1t being practice fo some citizens to buy and wear cast of army uniforms.

Noises of Cities.

A commission from New York is
in London investigating street
noises, with a view to determining
if there is any noisier place than
New York, and also to developing
some ideas about suppressing some
part of city noise. The commission
finds at the outset that London is
lots more noiseful than New York.
IF we had a street in New York so
noisy as the Strand, we would soon
take steps to effect change" de-
clared a member of the commission.
In recent years a good deal of at
tention has been given to this ques-
tion of street noises in cities, and
continental cities have accomplished
much toward relieving the fearful
strain on the nerves which is incl
dent to constant dwelling in the
midst of such a bedlam as a large
city's busiest districts can produce
when noise goes unrestrained,
It can hardly be doubted that
noise, which in its turn breeds more
noise and necessitates more effort
in order to overcome its own vol
ume, is one Of the demoralizing con-
ditions of life in a city. At first
racldng and ruinous to the nerves,
it finally deadens them, Better
thinking, better work, better health
would all result from the enforce
ment of conditions calcul>ted to re-
duce the eternal din. Those condi-
tions, moreover, would be brought
about with comparative ease if reg
ulation of noise were taken serious
" in hand.

HAGUE SURPRISED
BY GREYS SPEECH
Delegates Declare it Was
Unnecessary to Speak
of Honor.
British Representatives Fail
to Take Leading Part in
Deliberations.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 3.-Considerable
surprise was caused here by the attitude
Of Sir Edward Grey In the British par
lament. who seemed to think it neces-
kary that Z statement be made calling
attention to the fact that the British
delegates at The Hague have acted hon.
orably.
No one at The Hag.Ie ever charged
that the British delegates ever acted
otherwise than honorably and the oc-
casion OF such a speech as Sir Edward
Grey's is the basis for considerable
speculation. There are many who see
in the situation a further reason for
the early dissolution OF the conferences
which the Gar OF Russia has urged,
giving as his reason fear that trouble
may be developed by a session 100 much
prolonged
Sir Edward Grey has not by any means
played the prominent role in this confer
ence as did Lord Pauncefote in tho
conference OF 1897. Neither he nor his
chief, Sir Henry CampbeIl-Bannerma
has found any natiOal suggestions to be
placed before the conference.
The British delegates have not been
the leaders in the conference although
lately they have apparently been trying
TO make up for lost time. The United
States ana Germany have been the lead
Ing factors IN the entire conference.

A Governor in Hiding.

The saddest figure in the tragedy
which reached its crisis in the death
of William Goebel and has dragged
through three long trials for the
life of a Kentucky secretary of
state, is the fugitive ex-governor of
that Commonwealth.
William s. Taylor is now an exile
and a prisoner. he has found asy-
lum in Indiana There he stays,
secure from the courts he charges
with prejudice, but a fugitive from
the law and a man marked. Stories
of his present position as a lawyer
at the bar of his adopted State
make him a pitiable figure indeed.
His practice is unimportant. His
spirit is breaking. His trends are
the earnings of earlier days. Until
he dares to 90 back to kentucky
he must stand stiIl-or worse
Protection has been offered Tay-
lor if he will return to Kentucky
and testify in the trial of his chief
counsellor. Even so, the former
governor feels he dare not go. He
knew nothing Of any conspiracy to
kill his opponent, his friends say;
his testimony must be all negative
in its nature; and he will not take
the risk he believes would attend
his appearance in his home State.
So his chance has come and gone.
He is to remain in exile A man
who had obtained the Endorsement
of half Of his fellows at home must
stay away, his career darkened- by
accusations of crime, his liberty
gone, his life circumscribed. The
only sure relief-a trial-he is un-
willing to undertake. Yet to disin-
terested eyes. il would seem even a
conviction by a biased court were
less to be dreaded than hiding, and
the prospect of an unfair trial so
vague as hardly to excuse the
hiding.

A Dangerous Practice.

An occurrence extremely discred-
liable to certain local policemen
has been disclosed by our news
columns in connection with a Ger
tain recent entertainment for the
benefit of the Police Insurance
Fund. 1t consists in the soliciting
of contributions-in the guise of
selling tickets to a benefit athletic
meet-from various establishments
which it is supposed could profit
through police protection.
The worst of such establishments
are the disorderly houses, situated
in the First precinct. AS to them
the proof lies not in statements
from the inmates-which would be
testimony open to doubt-but in
the open declaration OF a patrol
man that he did sell tickets among

and willing customers.

Getting a Focus.

To date, the 2-cent-a-mile railway
fare legislation of the States has
produced the following:
4 series Of retaliations against
commuters in Pennsylvania.
A conflict between the Federal
and State courts in North Carolina.
A prospective special session of
the Virginia State Legislature.
4 petition to the Interstate Com
merce Commission from a resident
of Nebraska, alleging that the I'm
ion Pacific discriminates in favor of
intrastate passengers.
a cut of Union Pacific passenger
fares to short-line rates, making
the charge in some instances less
than 1 cent a mile.
Out of all this the people can
hope within a year or so to learn
who actually has supervisory au-
thority over the railroads and how
to exercise il.
