ONE IS REPORTED DEAD AND AN.
OTHER EXPECTED TO DIE.
ALL The INJURED WERE LABoRERs
Negro Hit Greek and Shooting Be.
gan; Blacks Fled When
Train Stopped.

McAlester, |. IA riot between
whites and blacks on a moving
train neal here resulted in the seri-
Gus injury of three white men,
Gus Denas, william Macheer and
George Stephanopolous. Denas is
not expected to live. He has a bad
bullet wound and his head and body
are black from bruises.
Besides these there were about fifty
others slightly wounded, and a whole
sale murder at the last was prevented
only by strategy.
A party of white men, mostly
Greeks, have been grading for the
NJ, X. & +. railroad between Buck
and Dow. Monday the company i'm
ported fifty negroes and put them to
work beside the whites. There was
bad feeling all day. At night both
parties were loaded on a train of fat
cars to be taken to the boarding
camp.
Negro Struck First Blow.
A dispute between a white man and
a negro over some tools eliminated
in the negro striking his antagonist
on the head with a pipe wrench.
Gus Danas, foreman of the white
gang, drew a revolver and shot at the
negro. The bullet, the negroes say.
killed n of the whites, who rolled
off tho train, but his body has not
been found.
A general conflict resulted imme-
diately. A flying pick handle knocked
Danas from his feet and after the
whites succeeded in heating a swarm
of negroes off him, he lay on the car
floor apparently dead.
Fought for 20 Minutes.
The fight ragged for 20 minutes. The
train was stopped and several of the
whites took a hand car and went a
few miles ahead with guns to be in
ambush.
This plan being discovered, the
train was again stopped and the ne
groes hurried across country on loot
to the Rock Island railroad, where a
train was tagged and they were
brought to this city.
Danas, Macheer, Stephanopolous.

WEDNESDAY. MAY %, 1907
ALk Il FARCE.

Senator Pettus hit the nail on
the head when he said that the
Senate's investigation OF the
Brownsville affair was all a farce,
since the Senate has no power to
act in the matter whatever its &C.
sire may be. He might have add
ed that the country has already
made I'D its mind about the bust
ness and there is nothing but a
little political capital to be gained
by probing further into it. Mean
while it is costing the Government
a pretty penny and for nothing.
San Antonio Express.
The Express and Senator Pettus
are right, of course, in so far as
the question of the senates juris-
diction ia the case is concerned.
But, since the charge was made by
Senator Foraker that President
Roosevelt had been uniustihable IN
discharging the negro soldiers, and
the sworn testimony of Major Pen
rose and other officers, in the two
court-martials at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, as well as before the senate
committee, tended to cause many
persons at a distance to doubt
whether the soldiers were really
guilty, thus placing the good name
of Brownsville in jeopardy by i'm
pIication, it is only just and right
that the matter should be thorough
zy sifted. No doubt, the lower
branch of congress would have
been the proper tribunal to invest
igate the case, but it would have
been equally as expensive and the
ends of justice served no better
than under the present arrange
znent. The real aninus of the
whole investigation, however, has
been of a political nature, and per-
haps the main reason why the SEN
ate undertook the case was in or
der to permit Fire Alarm Foraker
to make his little political play.
