SUES FOR HIS PAY
Action of CoIored Soldier will
Test Presidents Right
to Discharge,
OUTCOME BROWNSVILLE RAID
Question Will Probably be Carried to
United States Supreme Court by
Those Interested.

New York, Dec. ga suit to test
the right of the president to discharge
the negro soldiers of the 25th infaii-
try for their alleged connection with
the Brownsville raid was begun in the
United States district court in this city
yesterday. The expectation is that as
a result of the suit the presidents ac-
ton will be put squarely up to the
United States supreme court.
The suit was brought under the So
called Tucker act, which, in the mem
ory of those around the federal courts
here, has been invoked only in two in
stances, although the law was passed
in 1887. The novelty of it lies in the
fact that it allows the United States
to be made defendant, either in the
United States district or circuit court,
in the former where the amount involv-
ed is $1,000 or less, and in the latter
where it is more than $1,000, and not
more than $4,000.
Claims SI2a Pay is Due.
Oscar w. Reid. who was a private
in Company G and now is a resident
of this city, is the plaintiff in the ac-
tion which was brought to recover from
the defendant, the United States, the
sum of $12226, which Reid contends
is due him as pay from the govern
ment since his dismissal on the ground
that his dismissal was illegal.
The lawyers bringing the suit for
Reid are Ward, Mellen & Woodbridge,
80 Nassau street. In statement given
out it was announced the firm had
been retained "by certain gentlemen
in New England who believe in the
equal rights of all before the law and
that every man is entitled to his day
in court"
Out of Public Spirit.
"These gentlemen the statement
went on in explanation, believe the
! discharge of these men from the serv
ice of the United States in absence oi
any decision by any court martial OIL
civil court that any of their number
participated in the disturbance was
wholly unjustifiable and violated the
rights secured to these men by both
the constitution and the laws of the
United States. The gentlemen who
have authorized this suit believe the
question involved of greatest impor
tance to- every enlisted man in the
! United States army

Camden. n. J.. Dec. 27-Three per-
sons were killed and more than
dozen others injured in a rear end
collision on the elevated tracks of the
Pennsylvania railroad today a short
distance from the station in this city
The cars were so badly smashed it

the difficulties of the work of rescue.
Came Together in Fog.
The trains involved were the ex-
press from Atlantic City and the Penn
berton accommodation train. These
trains are due in Camden at S:31.
There was a very thick fog when the
accident occurred and it is believed
this condition is the primary cause of
the collision. The trains came to-
gether with considerable force The
tender of the Pemberton train tele-
scoped the first car of the train, kill
ing three persons and injuring at least
four. AS far as known no one was
killed on the Atlantic City train. but

OVERRIDING TEBEAU
N. H. Sexton Does Not Fear
Serious Clash Over Pitch

Cincinnati, Dec. 27.-The issue be-
tween the National Baseball commits
sion and the National Association of
Minor Baseball leagues was joined to-
day when the National commission an
nounced its decision awarding TO the
Cincinnati National league club Pitcher
Campbell, one of the players who had
been blacklisted at the meeting of the
National association III New York last
month.
Claimed by Tebcau.
George Tebeau, owner of the Louis
vile American association team. claim
ed Campbell is still under contract to
him and that Cincinnati could not Sc
cure a valid transfer of the players
services from the Harrisburg club of
the Tri-State league.
On the other hand Campbell assert
ed Tebeau had not kept his part of the
contract and that he was therefore no
longer bound by its terms when he
entered the service of the Harrisburg
management.
No Difference of Opinion.
The commission decided against Te-
beau. Members of the commission
were unanimous in declaring the Gin
cinnati clubs title to Campbell was
clear.
Does Not Fear Trouble.
NJ H., Sexton of this city, who is a
member of the national hoard of arhi-
| tration and who attended the New
York meeting at which Campbell was
| hlacklisted. when shown the foregoing
dispatch today stated that in his opin-
ion no serious trouble would result.
The disposition has been heretofore
for the minors to concede the major
leagues jurisdiction where the issue in
volved both organizations and it is
likely the matter will go no farther.

Sugar Beet Acreage.

The sugar beet industry has in
creased ten fold in this section of the
country in the past seven years. 1t
was in 1899 that attention was first
attracted to the possibilities of the
sugar beet in the Arkansas Valley in
Colorado. The following year the
entire acreage as far east as Garden
City did not total 1000. Since then,
an increase of ten thousand acres per
year has been planted and the pres
ent years outlook will reach 10000
acres. The sugar beet district in
the valley embraces territory $50
miles long by about Is miles wide.
At an average of Is tons to the acre
at the prevailing price of S5 per ton
this means an income of S., $50, 900
from one crop alone.

Fiarqua HaIa Boom.

Harqua Hala mines bid fair to be- come the best gold producing property in Arizona within a few months, says an exchange. The Golden Eagle mine, which adjoins the Harqua Hala prop erty, is producing some of the richest ore ever taken from the Arizona mountains. A shaft 300 feet deep has been sunk on the Golden Eagle, which is 100 feet further than it has been developed when abandoned about twenty years ago. It was believed un- til few months ago that all the good ore had been taken from the mine, but a pay-streak has been uncovered which promises to exceed the first ore in richness and abundance.
 In the famous old bonanza mine, which produced several millions in gold, although not developed below the 3O0-foot level, a 100O-foot shaft will be sunk a short distance from the old shaft to avoid working on the old ground which is caved in.
 At the Golden Eagle a 120-horse power boiler, large hoisting plant and air compressor are being installed, and the pipe line from Harrisburg has been repaired. An aerial tramway from the mill to the Golden Eagle mine, distance of one mile, is to be con- structed as soon as the machinery ar rives. Twenty stamps in an old mill of forty stamps have been repaired, and they are now steadily running on ore from the Golden Eagle.
