PLOT TO SLAY THE NEGROES.
Startling Story Of Brownsville Told b,
William Mapp.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Startling tes-
timony concerning alleged plans to
massacre colored soldiers at Browns
vile, Texas, by men from the town
firing over the barracks to stampede
the soldiers, and challenges to them to
come out Of the barracks, was given
by negro ex-soldiers Friday at the in
vestigation before the senate commit
tee on military affairs. The most SEN
sational story told was that of William
Mapp, who was member of Company
G, Twenty fifth infantry. He was on
the stand when the hearing adjourned
for the day.
Mapp was asked if he had ever
heard any discussion of the shooting
which caused him to suspect any per-
sons of completely. He replied that
at breakfast on the morning following
the shooting he had heard Wilburt
VOschelle, the reservation corral boss,
and white man who had been in
charge of the corral prior to the ar
rival of battalion of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, discussing the case.
According to Maps story, Voschelle
said:
We'll, it is good thing it happened
as it did. I was out in town last night
and the crowd came in front of me-
the plan was to catch a lot of you
fellows in Allison's saloon and massa-

Mr.. SH0NTS ON RAILWAYS
TELLS OF PREDICAMENT WHICH

Hostile Legislation and Demands of
Labor May Bring Great Crop of
Receiverships.

New York, Feb. 16.-The second an
nual banquet of the Iowa Society Of
New York was held at the Waldorf
Astoria Friday night. The society
had as it's guests Secretary OF the
Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw and Theo-
dore P. Shonts, chairman of the Pan
ANA canal commission.
Secretary Shaw's address dealt
chiefly with American industries.
Chairman Shonts spoke on the gen
eral subject of railroads.
After telling why he doubted the
wisdom and fairness of the purpose to
limit profits to six per cent. on the
capital invested in railways, Mr..
Shonts said: -
''The attitude of the present ma
tional administration on the question
of rates has not been to secure their
reduction, but to prevent unjust dis
elimination on them. Railroad rates
in the United States are lower than.
anywhere else in the world, while the
service, under normal conditions, is

AWAIT ACTION OF HOUSE
SCHMITZ EXPECTS IMMIGRATION
BILL TO PASS PROMPTLY, ~
Tells Exclusion League More Is to

Prepared for Attacks.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Mayor
Schmitz and the members of the San
Francisco delegation will not return
to California until the house Of rep
resentatives takes action on the immi-
grafton bill, including the amendment
for the exclusion of coolie labor from
the mainland Of the United States,
which was passed by the senate satur-
day. The bill will be taken up in the
house Monday and no serious opposi-
ton to its immediate passage is anti
cipated by the Republican leaders.
If the immigration bill is passed
Monday statement giving the basis
of the compromise agreement between
the president and the San Francis
cans will be made public
San Francisco, Feb. 1S.-At a meet
ing Saturday night of the executive
committee Of the Japanese and Ko-
rean Exclusion league the following
telegram from Mayor Schmitz at
Washington, to President o. H. Tveit-
moe, was read:

Cannot make public full details until
later. Have not relinquished any of
our rights. Agitation at this time
may complicate satisfactory settle
ment"
Toxic, Feb. 18-No official step has
yet been taken looking to settlement
of the California situation in accord
ance with the agreement reached be-
tween President Roosevelt and the
San Francisco authorities, but should
it be effected on that basis the gov
eminent must be prepared for violent
attacks. The authorities are assum-
ing calm and resolute attitude, how
ever, and it is believed that a settle
ment on this line is not entirely hope

demanding cheaper transportation SO
much as it is demanding safe, relia-
BILE and adequate transportation.
I'm the matter of improvements the
railroads of the country, almost with
out exception, have been pursuing a
hand-to-mouth policy which has
proved costly to themselves and irri-
tating to the public. Costly to them
selves because, before improvements
necessary to relieve existing condi-
lions have been completed, their ca
pacity has been exceeded by the
growth of traffic; irritating to the
public because at no time in recent
years has the public been able to get
free from the delays and annoyances
Of continual state of congestion
The result is the railroads are con-
fronted also with state of public
mind extremely hostile. So that the
raising of money to provide facilities
so urgently needed is, under present
conditions, well-nigh impossible, al
though many of the corporations have
sought to do so at the risk of almost
1mperiling their credit.
''The situation is a grave one. If
the various states continue arbitrarily
to reduce rates, as some of them are
doing, and the various labor organiza-
tons continue to press their demands
for increased wages and shorter hours,
the next unprecedented crop harvested
in this country will be a record break
ing crop of receiverships.'
