Testimony AgainstN Negro
Soldiers Is Given.
THREE WITNESSES
OF the Brownsville Affair Testify
When the Investigation Is Re-
sumed at Washington.

Washington, May 16.-Direct testi-
mony connecting negro soldiers with
the shooting ARRAY at Brownsville,
Tex. on the night of August 10, 1906,
was given Wednesday In the investi-
cation being conducted by the senate
committee on military affairs. Three
witnesses who had heretofore told
their stories on the stand in connec-
tion with the investigations of the af-
fray made by the war department and
by Assistant Attorney General Purdy,
at the request of President Roosevelt
we're on the stand. They we're Mr..
and Mrs. George w. Kendall and Jose
Martinez. All of them on the night OF
the shooting occupied houses on Gar
rison road in Brownsville, directly OPP
posite the military post. All three
testified to seeing or hearing soldiers
leave the post during the shooting
and Martinez testified that he saw the
men shooting az they ran.
Martinez was a clerk in drug
store in Brownsville last August and
for lS months before. He speaks very
little English and his testimony was
IOi thC NY bs
e. Beall Spanish translator for the
war department. The witness lived
in a small house directly in front of
Company b barracks, at the corner
of Garrison road and the alley be-
tween Elizabeth and Washington
streets, at the point named by other
witnesses as the place where negro
soldiers were said to have scaled the
wall to enter the town. Therefore his
testimony is regarded as OF the
utmost importance.
Martinez was positive that the
men had rifles and he attempted to
show the committee the manner in
which they carried the guns. This in
dicated that the butts of the guns
were rested against the hips when
they were fired.
Senator Foraker sought an admis
sion from the witness that his view OF
the garrison was not good and that he
was so badly frightened that he might
have confused the occurrences OF the
night The cross-examination raised
some doubt as to under what circum
stances Martinez SEW the soldiers
and this may have TO be cleared up by
further questions.

avoid delaying the game himself. His
protector and mask should be so ad'
justed as to be removed or put on in
a hurry, and they should be where
he can reach them without delay in
changing positions.
when It comes to the players, he
can do a lot that will help 10 keep
things moving. Sharpness in giving
decisions helps put snap in the play
ers and a word or two when a player
is delaying the game by slowness in
coming to bat or getting into his po.
sition will keep the players knowing
you have your eve on them. Where
much time is lost by umpires is In
stopping to listen to arguments. In
the first place, an umpire must know
his rules so we'll that he can give
decisions on such points accurately
and without hesitation. II the cap
tain of the team has a statement to
make, let him make 1t in as few woods
as possible, but do not stop TO enter
into an argument with him. There
Is no use in allowing any one 10 argue
with You regarding a decision on a
matter Of actual play, such as ball
or strike, an out or hit, as the an.
thorlty of the umpire is absolute
here and the quicker You convince
the players there is no use in arguing
the better off you will be.
What makes umpiring such a diff
cult problem is the variety of play
that must be dealt with. No rules
can be framed which will fully cover
everything that comes up in a base
ball game, and II takes considerable
study to place plays in their proper
division and apply rules that are in
the book in many cases. There is az
ways a certCin element of the game
which depends upon quick thinking
on the part of the umpire, combined
with the use OF good Judgment, and
1t is here that the really good and
ordinary umpires part company. the
only advice that can be given in this
respect is to study the rules unit
you know them thoroughly, and do
lot of thinking on and off the field.
$50 far as the position of the um
pire on the field is concerned, thinf
pretty near all Of them In the DIE
leagues follow the system OF work
ing Behind the bat with no one OF
the base, or with only man on third
but there might be times when 4
would be good policy to go hehinC
the bat TO follow the ball more close
ly at critical point, even with
man on first or second. II is always
good policy to get as close TO all plays
as possible, and when behind the bat
to run toward first, and out and away
from the base runner on decisions al
first. This gives you better chance
to watch the runner and first baseman
Study of the peculiarities of player
Is also of much use, as 1t will fire
quently enable you to mcke a goot
decision where you might otherwise
| be fooled"

CARPENTERS THREATEN
 SHOPS WITH BOYCOTT.
Notify Contractors to Discharge Non Union Men and Pay Regular
 Scale.

The Carpenters Union of Nome to- day sent a committee of three of it's members to the different shops and contractors, and notified them that they must immediately discharge all non union men now employed, and to here after pay the regular scale of one dol- lar an hour.
 There seems to be a great deal of dissension among the members of the so-called union, and Henry La France of Riggs and La France, contractors, stated that the demands were unjust and would not be needed. He said that they were paying to some of their men as much a sS1.25 an hour and to others, who were helpers, from seventy-five cents upward.
 He told the committee that he would not heed the demands, and the com mittee answered that the union would then proceed against them.
 La France stated that the union would probably institute a boycott, but that several of the carpenters would maintain the stand taken by himself Boynton & Nicholson.
