NAMES OF RAIDERS
The Purdy Investigation Is Said to
Have Revealed a Clue to
the Guilty Men.
WHO SHOT UP BROWNSVILLE
Identity Of at Least Two Of the Negro
Soldiers Believed To Be Known
Another Witness Saw
Shooting.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. Sit u
stated here on good authority. and not
denied. that the investigation con-
Quoted by Assistant Attorney General
Purdy here and at Brownsville has
revealed a clew that will lead to the
arrest Of every negro soldier who par
ticipated in the raid. Lem Reeves,
the negro soldier who testified Thurs
day. is said to have revealed the names
of two of the men missing from his
company at the time the sound Tor
arms was given at Fort Brown, imnle-
diately after the outbreak. On &C
count of his testimony he will be held
as a witness In the courtmartial OF
Maj. Penrose and Capt. Macklin In
February.
1t is understood that the action In
not preferring charges against the
negroes, and permitting them to be
released while they were under sus'
picion Of such grave charge, will be
the subject of a special inquiry.
Judge Purdy has about completed
his investigation here. It is under
stood that he will go from here to
Houston To examine two witnesses
who reside there.
Two witnesses were examined. One
was Lem Reeves, the negro soldier
serving a term on the county road.
He testified that he was In bed at
the barracks when he heard the shoot
ing, but that every shot was fired
near by; that when the call to arms
was sounded, two men in his com.
pany were missing, and that they
were still missing at roll call. He
also testified that 1t was nearly noon
before the rifles were inspected.
The other witness was A, l. Davis,
night clerk of the Miller hotel. He
swore that he heard the firing, saw
the flashes of the guns, and that, as
the moonlight was bright, he was
able to distinguish that the guns were
in the hands Of negroes dressed in
the uniform of United States soldiers.
He also told of the firing on the hotel
He remained up all night and as soon
as it was daylight he left the hotel,
and picked up double handful of
shells elected from the guns, which
he turned over to the mayor.
During Thursday a number Of white
soldiers at Fort Sam Houston were
examined, but the nature of their
testimony was not disclosed.

An INFANT INDUSTRY"
The Powder Trust Gathers Millions
from the Government.
Protected by q Tariff II Grows opu-
lent of Federal Patronage--lts
Latest Conspiracy Described.

New York, Jan. 6.-The powder
trust. protected BY prohibitive tariff
and rolling up millions in profit in
It's supply to the United States gov
eminent alone, will on January Q en-
ploy every possible means to gain
control Of the National Rifle asso-
citation and II successful can dictate
the character of the ammunition for
every state military organization in
the union. The occasion will be the
election Of a president Of the associa-
ton, to be held In the Seventy-first
regiment armory.
Gen. Bird w. Spencer, Of Passaic,
general inspector Of rifle practice in
the state of New Jersey and the In.
cumbent, is candidate for re-elec-
ton. James A. Drain, of Olympia,
Wash, his opponent, Is tho candidate
Of tic trust.
Spencer's election means the throt-
thing of what has been pronounced by
an independent powder manufacturer
to be an infamous conspiracy which
makes commerce Of patriotism and
sells its product abroad for its sole
profit.
From July 1, 1905, to July 1, 1906,
the trust sold to the government, s.
947,82O pounds Of smokeless ordnance
powder. The cost Of manufacture at
the mill was 81 cents pound. The
price charged to the government was
10 cents pound, SO in that one item
alone the Approximate profit was SS
cents pound. Deducting freight
charges, this aggregated $2,215,562.S5.
Three hundred thousand pounds Of
powder for 80 calibre weapons were
produced at a net cost Of A cents
a pound and sold at 847s cents; TO-
900 blank fire cartridges, costing Al
cents at 90 20 cents, and 1850 pounds
for the SO calibre, costing 50 cents,
at "a IL cents.
The total profit, approximately
footed up $2,34S,364 which is greater
than any profit ever derived by any
seller Of any product or staple sold
in one year to the government in the
history of the republic, and the mo-
nopoly carrying on this business was
at the same time contracting with
foreign nations to furnish ammunition
with which they could attack Amer
lean merchantmen on the high seas.

Friday for two years service in the
Japanese army in order TO study
training, strategy and other matters.
These officers have been making spe-

among other things they have taken
a course in Japanese. The Japanese
army received its modern training
from German officers. but military
men now feel that japan has brought
military science to a level equal to
that of Germany and they believe
they probably can learn something
from the soldiers Of the Mikado.

most Significance In Promoting
Peace In Western Hemisphere.

Washington, Jan. SIT was an
nounced here Friday that Andrew Car.
negie had given $4,000 for the con-
struction of building to be used by
the Bureau Of American Republics.

Mr., Carnegie In his letter to Secre-
tary Root offering the gift expresses
himself as highly pleased at the privi-
lege Of providing Washington home
for the Bureau Of American Repub-
lies. He is well aware, he said, Of the
Importance of the bureau. 1t was one
of the pleasures Of his life, therefore,
TO contribute the necessary $750,000
for the enterprise. He trusted this
would have the effect Of drawing the
republics closer together
President Roosevelt in a letter to
Mr.. Carnegie thanks him for the gift,
characterizing 1t as Of the utmost sig
nificance In the advancement Of peace
in the Western hemisphere.
According to a statement by Secre-
tary Root, the proposition to build
such a home has been under consider
alton three years. Fifteen republics,
he said, offered to contribute to the
fund, but the house failed to pass a
senate bill providing for an Amerl-
can appropriation. At the least SEES
sion congress appropriated 100000,
which added to Mr.. Carnegie's gift,
affords ample funds for the building
enterprise.

SHIPPERS MUST UNLOAD STOCK
Railroads May Stop Sending Along
Men to Help

There is movement on foot among
the roads of this territory and also in
the southwest TO inaugurate a new rule
on March IS to require shippers of live
stock in car loads to load and unload
their freight without the assistance of
the railroads.
1t has been the custom with carload
shipments of cattle to send a represen-
tative OF the road along to care for the
stock.
Railroad employees have assisted in
the work when necessary, but the
proposition now is to amend the live
stock tariff to provide that the owners
be required to do their own loading
and unloading.
1t is understood that this will be re-
sented on the part of the shippers Of
live stock, they figuring that ii is as
much TO tho interests of the road to sec
that the stock is handled expedtiously
and with as little trouble as possible
as 1t is TO theirs, as it is essential to
the interests of both that the animals
do not become injured or bruised.

THINK TOO MUCH is ENOUGH
St Louis Merchants Protest Against
Drastic Railroad LEGISLATION

In a circular just issued by the In
terstate Merchants association of St.
Louis, one of the largest and most pow
erful organizations in the country, a
strong effort is made to call a halt in
the restrictive legislation contemplated
by several states against the railroads.
The circular has been sent out broad
cast over the country and is the first
protest to be made by any shipping or
ganization against proposed drastic
railroad legislation.
According to the circular, the mem
bers of the association, who are the
leading shippers and business men of
st. Louis, believe that if the present
agitation in the states for lower rates
and other adverse railroad legislation
continues it will be impossible for the
roads to raise the funds necessary to
provide facilities to relieve the general
traffic conditions.
The circular ends as follows:
1--WE need but refer to the history
of railroad legislation in 1873 and 1876
to see how easy it is, not only to kill
the goose that lays the golden egg, but
to smash the eggs as well. We believe
that majority of the people will agree
with us that when we ask for square
deal from the railroad companies it
means that we are willing to give them
a square deal in return"
