Inquiry.

Testimony of Witness in Brownsville
Inquiry.
Washington, May 16.-The examina-
ton of witnesses on behalf of the gov
eminent began during the day in the
Brownsville investigation before the
senate committee on military affairs.
George w. Kendall of Brownsville,
Tex, the first witness, testified that
on the night Of Aug. IS, when the af-
fray occurred in Brownsville, he saw
men whom he declared to be negro
soldiers climb over the brick wall
from Fort Brown and enter the town.
He said also that he saw a group of
from three to five men inside the gar
rison gate and saw the flash of two
or three shots fired by men in another
group. These men, he said, moved up
the wall on the inside and Joined an
other group of ten or twelve men and
all of them climbed over the wall at
the alley between Elizabeth and
Washington streets. This is the alley
where a number of shells were picked
up the following morning. Kendall
could not tell in which direction the
men went after reaching the garrison
road.
On cross-examination Senator Fora
ker drew from the witness the state
ment that the negro soldiers were the
best behaved Of any of the men he
had seen at Fort Brown in his forty
years residence there.

Berlin, May 16-Interviews with
number of the leading grain merchants
and members of the. produce section
of the bourse here disclose a feeling
of great uncertainty in connection
with the grain situation. The dealers
generally are disposed to regard the
present wave Of speculation as being
an exaggeration. All admit, however,
that the United States at this moment
holds the key to the international sit
uation, but the tendency is to believe
That the situation and the reports of
crop shortage are exaggerated so far
as the European situation is con-
cerned. The merchants add that it is
also premature to predict heavy
shrinkage of production as factor in
the general yield.
Various reports of peor crop pros

OIL MAGNATE LOSES
Petition Of Pierce for Writ Of
Habeas Corpus Denied.
WILL APPEAL FROM DECISION

sHo'StHiSHt LOT TcTJury IN an fAHiud-
Wit Regarding the Trade Affiliations
Of His Company.
st. Louis, May 16.-Judge Adams, in
the United States circuit court here,
denied the application of H. Clay
Pierce, chairman of the board Of d.
rectors of the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, for writ of habeas corpus and
ordered that the petitioner be remand
ed to Sheriff George S. Mathews of
Travis county, Tex, for extradition.
Pierce is wanted in Texas to answer
to an indictment charging perjury in
an affidavit made by him in May, 1900,
to the effect that the Waters-Pierce
Oil company was not a party to any
pool, trust, confederation or combina-
ton in restraint of trade.
After Judge Adams had read his de-
cision Attorney Priest Immediately
asked that a delay of execution of the
courts order be granted to enable him
to decide whether to make an appeal
to the United States court of appeals
or directly to the state supreme court.
Judge Adams granted the request.
Mr.. Pierce had little to say as he
left the courtroom with his attorney.
He spoke to several friends who
crowded to shake his hand, but made
no comment.
In his decision Judge Adams re-
viewed the Texas indictment and the
grounds upon which it was based and
cited number Of supreme court ex-
pressions concerning the framing of
indictments.
When court reconvened Attorney
Priest, counsel for the petitioner, gave
notice formally that two appeals
would be taken from the decision of
Judge Adams, one to the United
States circuit court of appeals and one
to the United States supreme court.
The court then admitted Pierce to
bond in the sum Of $4,000.
