 George Lockwood, aged 30 years, committed suicide yesterday morn 1 ing about 9:45 by shooting himself | in hn ,f the home of Mir and Mrs Harry Chip man of 162 Cherry street, and yes terday morning about the hour above stated, Mrs Chipman heard the re- ports of pistol shots coming from the upper part of her house when she became somewhat alarmed and went to the residence of Burgess J. w. Reynolds. who lives across the street, and told him that she was fearful lest something like suicide had been committed, as she said that Lockwood had intimated that he would do away with himself before long. Mir Reynolds called the chief Of-pOllce up on the telephone and when he arrived the matter was eX- plained to him and he decided to make an investigation. Upon enter ing the room from where the sound came he found Lockwood lying on the floor with q revolver clasped in his hand and bullet hole under the right ear, and with no signs of life whatever in the body. The chief-of- police notified Medical Examiner Johnson, who gave permission to re- move the remains to Twitchell's mOrgue, where they laid up to this afternoon, when the body was taken to the home of his parents, Mir and Mrs John Lockwood of Waterbury, The deceased had been estranged from his wife for some time and she had instituted proceedings against him for divorce and it is said that this weighed so heavily on his mind that he could not stand the strain, and as the trial for divorce was to come up this week there is probably some truth attached to the state ment. He was for number of years employed by the F. c. Benedict Coal Co, but lately had been in the em- ploy of the Naugatuck Chemical Co Besides his parents he leaves a wife and two children who reside in Naugatuck, and two brothers and six sisters who reside on North Main street, Waterbury.

BROWNSVILLE.

What a world of trouble this place has
given the present national administration and
how wholly unexpected did it all come about.
The committee that has spent season in
vestigating the Brownsville affair is about
ready to report and it is limited that it will
report adversely to the president, which,
from an administration standpoint, will be
little short. Of calamity. At the time the
president took the drastic steps against the
colored soldiers, which resulted in the entire
battalion being mustered out of service with
out honor, the country by and large, es-
pecially among the whites felt that the presi-
dent had acted justly, but subsequent reports
have convinced the most OF them that the
president was mistaken and the president
himself being a man OF almost superhuman
foresight, must realize that he made mis-
take, but being man of the not-willing-to
give-in type, he refuses to right even
wrong. As to the average citizen among the
whites he refuses to right wrong in this
case not that he desires to do the black man
an injustice, but that he does not want to see
the president placed in compromising po-
Sition If the country at large and the United
States Senate should take the facts and de-
eide the case from the facts regardless OF
who suffered thereby the president and not
the colored soldiers would be down and out,
but that it would have bad effect on the
country for the president of the United
States to be placed in an awkward public
light in the interest of<a lot of Negroes and
the Negro being of little if any public sig
nifcance he is being sacrificed 1t is to be
regretted that the men of our boasted civil
zaton are such moral cowardS but they are
so and we guess the least that is said about it
the best for all concerned. Speaking about
these discharged soldiers, an exchange says:
'We have watched carefully the conduct
Of the Afro American soldiers who were dis
missed from the 25th Infantry by President
Roosevelt seevral months ago. and we are
putting in print that which we have heard
many express in words, and that is, during
all this trying period no one has heard
single utterance from these soldiers that was
unbecoming or unmanly. They have con-
Quoted themselves during all this trying per-
iod in spirit of modesty and at the same
time with frankness and courage. They
have not been noisy; they have not disgraced

Entombing large numbers of miners seems
to be fad in mining circles these days.
The miners seem to stand it alright and we
therefore suggest that, the next time a strike
is threatened that the mining company get as
many men as possible into the mines and then
entomb them. Send their meals to them
through an air shaft and then say work or
starve.
