HEARINGS WILL
LAST SOME TINE
Senate Inquiry Into Brownsville
Affair Likely to Last
Many Months.

Washington, Feb. S.-The Browns
vile inquiry by the senate committee
on military affairs may continue at in
tervals for several months Many men
for whom subpoenas have been issued
have not been found. and others are in
Texas attending the court-martial OF
the white officers of the discharged
negro battalion. The investigation has
proceeded far enough to convince the
committee that the only way TO get at
the bottom of the affair is by examin-
ing every man to see what he knows.
1t has been brought out that members
of company & had d chance to secure
guns through the fact that their gun
racks were broken open.
The feature of the testimony which
most interests the members of the
committee is that all the men on the
stand have said they would be able to
distinguish the report of the Springfield
rifles or the Krag -Jorgenson from the
reports Of other firearms, and most of
the witnesses said they did not hear
any army rifles. The testimony of the
white officers now under court martial
is being awaited on this point Several
senators who have declared that they
believe some members of the battalion
were guilty of the shooting. now say
their opinions will be shaken if the
white officers should go on the stand
and say they could not detect reports
Of Springfield or Krag-Jorgenson guns.
Senator Foraker has said that he will
get at the bottom of the affair if IL
takes all summer, and ii is likely.
therefore that after the adjournment
of congress subcommittee will be
named TO take testimony.

The formal opening Of the Big Cot

was turned for the first time last Tues
day. was marked yesterday by the
gathering Of representative citizens and
city officials AT Camp Moran. at the
mouth 0f Big Cottonwood canyon. IN
der canvas q feast was spread for about
eighty persons that would have done
credit to the most festive banquet oc-
casion.
Around the banquet board were seat
ed men Of all shades of political opin-
ion. but all were united in one thought
that il was grand day for Salt Lake
City when the limpid waters Of our
greatest mountain stream were turned
into the water system. of. Salt Lake.
Men Of the present administration gave
praise TO the former administration for
originating the plan and putting il on
its way to fruition. While those OF the
former administration gave credit TO
their successors for successfully COM
pleting nc grand work begun by them

addition Of this water TO the city's sup

transaction whereby they exchanged
their rights in this stream for irriga-

here that would afford a better market

and had proven adequate.
