WASHINGTON, January 12:-
Tillman is speaking today on
the Brownsville riots. The
galleries are packed. He said,
in part, that he failed to see
where the soldiers had broken
their oaths of enlistment in any
way by what was called aeon
spiracy of silence. Treason and
mutiny cannot be attributed to
these men, though murder has.
Not over twenty are involved,
though 167 have been discharg-
ed. Why is this? Why convict
the innocent. The war depart
ment was warned not to send
soldiers there, They were sent
there in spite of their known
record as being murderers and
cut .throats.
He then recited some of the
brutal attacks these soldiers had
committed. Evidence can be
produced to show that the
troops are guilty. He incor-
porated IN the record state
ment showing the bad record of
the twenty-ffth infantry, show
ing criminal acts committed by
them at times. They were put
in without being read.
He then took up at length the
reasons why the president had
done an unconstitutional act in
dlsmissing the soldiers. The
foundation of his ''Tillman's"

TILLMAN'S TRADE
AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
LINES UP With fire ALARM FORAKER
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT In DE-
FENSE OF NEGRO TROOPS.

WASHINGTON, January 12:-
The presidents, action in dis.
missing these men was nothing
more or less than lynching."
This is only one of the many
bitter exclamations of Senator
Tillman before the senate this
afternoon in his speech on the
Brownville affair.
In. a voice trembling with
emotion, he charged the
Roosevelt with revivi1g the
race issue and with bringing
about conditions, more threaten
ing than those in 1861. He said;
"The president is more re-
sponsible than any man for the
position of the negro, in and
out of the South. He gave
Booker Washington recognition
socially. He made mess OF
that Brownsville affair. Is the
president ready to act up to his
own theory and have his own
children marry men and women
of other races? Would he accept
a daughter-in.law who was a
Chinese, Malay, Indian or negro:
All know he wouldn't. Consid-
er whether the president is Sin
cere and honest and whether he
can Justify his unwarranted
usurpation of power. The presi-
dent forgot himself, saying what
he didn't intend or mean.
The senator proceeded to
show how the race question was
a vital issue in the solution OF
the future of Cuba and Santo
Domingo and said;
"On the Pacific coast, the re-
lationship between the Mongo-
liam and the Caucasian is in.
volved. The president announ-
ced a policy favoring absolute
obliteration of the race line,
granting full citizenship to Japs.
Americans, I understand, bitter.
ly oppose this, regardless of
party lines, But these phases
of the,race problem sink to in
significance alongside the great
deal more vital question of the
relationship of the races in the
Southern States. In this Brown
vile affair, 167 men suffer,
while not more than twenty
have ever been charged with
participation in the crime.
Tillman declared the presi-
dents first thought was pro-
lection of the negro troops and
punishment of the Brownsville
citizens by abandoning the
military post there. The mat
ter should have been settled
in court after by the civil
authorities.

Been Eating Them.
One night a little after dusk as
we were about to go into the house
our younger brother saw something
dark moving behind the dog kennel.
The older boy reached in as far as
he could, and with the help of his
father, who stood at the other end
of the kennel, he drew out a futter-
ing female partridge that acted so
queerly we could not make out
what was the matter, for she did
not seem to be hurt. There were
no blood stains on her feathers, no
marks anywhere, but she could nei-
ther walk nor fly, and, what was the
strangest Of all, she did not appear
frightened, and every one, I think,
knows that nothing living is shier
than G partridge. We marveled at
the sight as she sat quietly in the
older boys hand, breathing very
fast, but showing absolutely no fear.
Suddenly our younger boy ex-
claimed: "Oh, I know what ails her!
She's drunk! She's been eating
poke berriesw Sure enough. We
had all read about psrtridges get,
ting drunk on poke berries, but had
forgotten it.
We took her into the house, and
she sat on the teble while we ate
our supper. How indescribably fun
ny she looked sitting there by my
plate, allowing me to stroke her
smooth, brown mottled back, per-
mitting-the wild woods thing-fa-
miliarities from each one Of US!
Poor, helpless, drunken little dame!
Her bill would partly Open and shut,
and if we put her up on her feet she
would sway and totter, with half
closed eyes and dropping tail and
wings. How we laughed, and how
we regretted that we had no camera
and so were unable to take her pic
ture! What a chance for Mr.. Job!
Not another such chance would any
one be likely to have in lifetime!
As I held her up against my face
and felt the soft, faint little puffS
of breath from her bill against my
cheek, she seemed the very spirit Of
auintessence Of all that is woodsy-
shy, remote and inaccessible-and
yet there she was, right in my hands
-dozily, dizzily, dauntlessly drunk!

Makes Homer, Double aad
Three Singles in Game.

A home run. a two-bagger and three sin
giles in five trips to the plate Is the ra-
markable batting record made by Out
fielder M. J. Mitchell. formerly of the
Newark Eastern League team. in the game
between Cincinnati and Brooklyn yester-
day. Four other homers were made in the
game, Lumley, Hummell and Alperman,
of Brooklyn. and Kane, of Cincinnati,
banging out the four-furlong swats.
Mitchell was drafted by Newark from
the Troy club. of the New York State
League, in 1904. but was dropped after a
months trial. He finished the season in
the New York State League. later being
purchased by the Chicago American
League club. Being a trif1e too green for
the Sox, the lanky player was once more
relegated to the minor ranks.
He played last season with the Port
land club in the Pacific Coast League,
where he batted far over the 300 mark.
IT was from hat team that he was plueked
by Ned Hanlon for the Cincinnati Reds.
The ex-Newarker has a batting average of
.2SS for 1o2 games in the National League
so far this season. and ranks well up
among the long-distance hitters. If his
fielding and throwing were equal to mis-
work at the bat he would be REGARDED as
one OF the stars in the big leagues. He
now leads the Cincinnati team in stick
work.

grees. Probably IL was Intended to put

over Keeler's head, and the speedy little
fellow dashed for the fence and started
to run along II after the manner OF cyclists
riding on a sloping track, going higher and
higher. He saw that the ball was going
over him and he made a last desparing
effort-but could not reach. Them, too late,
he tried to save himself, and for an instant
went sprinting along the top OF the fence
then disappeared.
The crowd sat aghast for an instant,
then some of the other players dashed for

ever fully from the collision,
although both played afterwards. The
strange feature of the accident was that
when Lake was carried off the field un-
conscious and seemingly fatally hurt, the
ball still was clutchet In his hand.
Hughey Jennings, the old Baltimore star,
had an odd accident at Washington once.
He was playing short, and went tearing
across back of third after a foul fly. The
field seats there are low and protected In
front by a triple row of wires. Jennings
made a wild running jump after the ball
just as it was falling into the bleachers
and got it in one hand, He had leaped
instinctively to avoid a collision with the
low fence, and he went between the wires
and remained suspended there. kicking and
struggling, but still holding the ball. Be-
yond a few cuts and scratches, he escaped
injury.

happened on the bailfeld was on the Balti-

ball, was tearing toward third when
Tucker attempted to climb the gate. He
reached the top, and then the rooters
swung the gate open, with Tom on top,
and held him there until the run scored,
Even Tom laughed MS he came back up
the field, although bruised and scratched.
An odd accident happened one time when
the Cincinnati team was playing an ex-
hibition game at Wilmington, o.. The
game was played in the fair grounds. and
the backstretch of the half-inle track was
cut through a clay hill. During the game

started to field the ball.
One of the games in the recent series of
the Cubs with the Giants in Chicago re-
suited In a list of Injuries that reads like
the reports of a railroad wreck.
Cy Seymour, centre fielder of the Giants,
had his right leg wrenched in a collision

AS may be seen, all the injuries are not
confined to the players. The innocent
spectator sometimes Is mixed up with the
injured. In a recent Chicago game a man
in the grand stand was hit In a quee way.
A ball struck a post and shot off at an
angle. Just as If 1t had hit the cushion Of
a billiard table. A spectator looking out
at tho field and not thinking that the foul
was anywhere near was surprised by a
blow on the back of the head. He turned
around. ready to fight, for he seemed TO
think that some one had hit him. When
ne found that it was the ball that was re-
sponsible. he quoted down.
