-FOUR RIFLES OF
COMPANY B USED
RESULT OF EXAMINING SHELLS
FOUND AT BROWNSVILLE.
AFTER RAID.
Confession Story FaIse-No "D. w.
Gray" Was a Member of Dsgraced
BattaIon-Branded as Fake at
San Antonio.

Washington, March 19.-Four rifles
from Company B, Twenty-fifth infan-
try, were used in the Brownsville af-
fray, if the ordnance department Of
the army can substantiate reports
sent to the senate committee on mill
tary affairs Monday concerning the
microscopic examinations of the 33
shells picked up in the streets of the
town on the morning following the
shooting.
All of the rifles in the possession of
the battalion at Fort Brown on the
night of August 13 were sent to the
Springfield arsenal and two shots were
fired from each. The shells used were
then compared with those picked up
at Brownsville, and the officers max
ing the tests reported that it has been
demonstrated beyond dispute that
four guns of Company B were used in
discharging all of the 33 shells.
Galveston Story Denied.
The alleged confession of I'D. w.
Gray" supposed to be member of
Company B, which was printed at
Galveston, Tex, was formally denied
Monday in a telegram from Maj.
Blocksom at San Antonio, to the war
department. Maj. Blocksom said in
his dispatch that he had received a
telegram from the chief of police at
Galveston saying that the publication
was fake.
Senator Foraker had the alleged
confession put in the record with the
denial which had been furnished to
Chairman Warren by the war depart
ment. The Ohio senator also had re-
corded the fact that there was not a
man named I'D. w. Gray in the dis
charged battalion, but that there were
two men named Gray, one G. w. and
the other ]. H. Gray, in Company G.
Both of these men were heard from
denying that they had made confes.
sions. One is in West Virginia and
the other in Pennsylvania.
No members of the Twenty-fifth in.
fantry were examined Monday, and NO
testimony was given which had any
direct bearing on the shooting, except
that of Henry Watson, a private OF
Company M, Twenty infantry.
Branded as Fake.
San Antonio, Tex, March 19-Very
little new testimony was taken Mon
day in the Penrose court-martial. The
story of Gray's alleged confession is
considered here as a fake. A telegram
to the department headquarters here

Gray has worked in Galveston seven
years and has never been in the

Another Canal Project.

Another caanl project is to be men
doned. Germany in the Keil channel
has a waterway by which she can
shift her warships from the North sea
to the Baltic or vice versa at will, and
she is also developing her interior sys-
tenn, showing she is giving attention
to the needs of peace and commerce
as well as those of war and national
defense. High officials in England
have suggested the advisability Of
constructing a canal from the Clyde
to the Forth for the use Of battleships.
1t appears, says Troy Times, there is
a feasible channel of about 80 miles.
and all that is needed is dredging the
bottom, which is of soft sand. 1t Is
asserted that the canal can be so con-
trived that the tides will scour it and
thus prevent it from being filled ur
again, wherein great advantage will
be scored over many other similar
canals, including the Suez, where
there has to be constant fighting to
maintain proper depth of water.
What England will do is not an
nounced, but this multiplicity Of canal
undertakings must impress the OBJ
server. The United States is in the
lead in such matters, and it is typical
of its spirit that all of the works now
Nder way are intended primarily for
purposes of peace and to facilitate
commerce.

NABBED. WITH RICH JEWELS.
Two Alleged Smugglers Are Wanted
for Big Theft Abroad.

New York, March 1S-Arthur Pres
ton Green and Charles Rohrer, pas
sengers on the steamer Amerika, were
arrested when the vessel arrived from
Hamburg Sunday, charged with at
tempted smuggling. Diamonds and
jewelry to the value of nearly $4,000,
which the custom officials alleged the
prisoners had failed to declare, were
taken from them. The valuables were
confiscated and the men held for ex-
tradition.
Though only the charge of SNUG
Cling was preferred against the pris-
onerS here, it is stated by the police
that they are wanted abroad in con-
nection with theft of some $500
worth of jewelry and precious stones,
and the London authorities have been
notified. On Wednesday the police re-
ceived a cablegram from Scotland
Yard asking that Green and Roher
be detained upon their arrival on the
Amerika.
Green described himself as a sales
man, 81 years old, with home in this
city. The police allege that he has re-
peatedly been arrested for shoplifting
and served three years imprisonment
in Wisconsin.
Rohrer gave the same age anG oc-
cupation, but said that Philadelphia
was his home. According to the police
he has record including arrests in
Philadelphia and for robbing Miss
Evelyn King at Atlantic City; and
again on March 10, 1898, for robbing
Miss Theresa Schwartz on a street in
Philadelphia.

The toll roads once so numerous all
over the country are gradually but
surely becoming free public highways.
The toll system was recognized as a
necessity of earlier times, but the
modern spirit will not submit to the
restrictions involved in being COM
PEELED to pay tribute to private own
ership. Yet the toll road has by no
means entirely disappeared, and it is
found even in close proximity to big
and prosperous cities. Cleveland, O.,
one of the foremost towns in the
state, is moving to secure the aboli.
tion of 10 miles of toll roads in Cuya-
.hoga county, in which Cleveland is
located. Rensselaer, county some years
ago threw open its tollgates, and can
lay claim to rank among the most
progressive communities in the En-.

Physiological Mystery.

According to some curious invest.
cations conducted by English scien-
lists, eldest sons tend to be criminals
and youngest sons paupers. A great
many thousand school children and
many family histories have been ex-
amined to yield these results. First
born children were found to be, as a
rule, taller and heavier, with greater
ability and endurance than the others.
This is in accordance with the popular
feeling in many countries that the
Oldest child is superior to the others
and deserving of special privileges.
1t is a well established fact that
among men of genius an undue pro-
portion are eldest sons.-Detroit Free
