the street of Brownsville

tramping the street OF Brownsville
that night in uniform. There Is
Nor THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT
that they were negro soldiers, for they
were seen by too many of us, and the
shells found in the streets were those
used only by Uncies Sans troops"
In connection with his testimony
before Mr.. Purdy, Mr.. Mckay has
authorized a statment as follows:
II was impressed with the alb
solute fairness and thorough
ness OF Mr.. Purdy's investiga-
tion. He was not looking for
opinions but facts.
''As for the position the president
has taken, l am more than ever con
WINGED hat he has pursued the proper
course and l have no fear that he
will not ultimately be sustained.
SQUARE DEAL BY PRESIDENT.
ut has been said that Brownsville
was to blame for her treatment by
the troops. 1t is true that her citi-
zens were not pleased with the idea
OF negro soldiers at the fort, but |
have failed to hear Of any community,
North or South, that has expressed
any morbid preference for them.
II know nothing of the law in the
case, but | do think l know some
thing OF the ethics OF the case, and
the president certainly gave the SOL
diers a square deal.
1T is my opinion that ii the
president is sustained, those
guilty of the crime will be ex-
posed and punished. Just 50
long as Mr.. Foraker and
Others continue TO hold the
negro soldiers up as hsres,
they will continue % shield
each other
when they finally know that the
president is To stick. those soldiers
who know the facts. and who desire
TO save their record and reputation,
viii be ready 10 tell all they know.
My testimony is strangely in support
of the president"

SAW THE SOLDIERS SHOOT.
Maudlin Sentimentalily RespOns-
ible tor Silence OF Innocent
Soldiers.

Laporte, Texas, Jan. Il. A. N. Nc
| Kay, mayor and banker OF Laporte,
was the last of the f%fty-nine witnesses
examined by Milton d. Purdy, the
assistant to the United States attor-
ney general in the investigation OF
the Brownsville tragedy, Just before
Mr.. Purdy's departure for Washing
ton, to- make his report to the presi-
dent.
Mr.. McKay's testimony Is signi1c-
ant for two reasons First-Becau
he is not a resident of Brownsville.
and therefore, has no local In the con-
troversy, and second because he is a
NATIVE OF THE NORTH,
and possesses none Of the so-called
Southern prejudice against the negro.
Mr.. Mckay told Mr.. Purdy that he
happened to be a visitor in Browns
Vile, on the night Of Aug. l3 last
when the shooting took place m re-
tired when the first shots were fired.
From the window of his room he
saw the horse that was shot from
under the lieutenant OF police, and
SAW THE SOLDIERS
running toward the saloon, where the
bartender lost his life.
The hotel occupied by Mr.. Mckay
was shot into. and Mr.. Mckay says
he fears he did more ducking than
looking, but he saw enough TO con-
vince him that the shooting was done
by the men wearing the uniform of
the United States.
Mr.. Mckay also denounced
what he terms the maudiin
sentimentality which is try
ing to make the troops appear
as martyrs. instead OF mid
night assassins. and expressed
the opinion that, If this false
position had not been taken
so generally by the press and
so many Northern people the
chances are that the guilty
ones would have been detect
ed and punished ere this.
Mr.. Mckay says that when his at
tention was attracted to the disturb
ance in the street the men seemed TO
be shooting Unfortunately.
The sharp cracking OF the rifles and
the hysteria especially Of the women
and the children in the hotel, mingl-
ed with the weird bugle calls from
Fort Brown did not impress me with
the idea that there were any heroes

oTERO DIED,
SAYS HIGAK1,
FOR LOVE

This is our wedding night" were
the last words of little Otero Harada
rs she pulled the cord that ended her
own life and was intended to take
with her into the shadowy world to
which she was going her sweetheart,
Higaki.
But the bridegroom was Death
and not the lover she wanted, for
the sash she had tied around her
neck and his failed to do its work so
far as he was concerned, and he was
still alive when a searching party
found them. Little Otero was dead.
Such is the tale told by Higaki
himself before the coroner's jury
which was called together to sit on
the case. But the jury evidently did
not believe 1t, for verdict was re-
turned charging him with the MUIR
der of the girl.
Otero was the little 14-year-old
japanese girl found murdered, and It
is believed outraged. in a cane field
on Maui recently. IigakL the man
charged with the crime, was lying by
her side, almost dead himself, but
he was resuscitated, and now lies in
Jail, in danger of his life by the hang
mans moose.
At the inquest those who found
the two in the canefield testified that
the mans sash was about his own
neck and was tied to the girls wrist.

been choked to death. Higaki him

told Is as follows:

More Men Landed.

Tangier, Aug S.-The French war ships yesterday landed 2,O00 additional men at Casablanca. where street fighting apparently continues, judg- ing from the desultory firing heard day and night by those on board tho ships anchored off the town. The Jew ish quarter of Casablanca has been sacked Many persons were massacred in the streets, the city is said to be full of dead Moors and the Moorish quarter is in ruins, having been set on fire b, ,ythe shells from the big guns of the cruisers All the stores are closed and much hunger and distress prevails among the poor. The for eign consuls have ordered the stores to be reopened and have established special tariff for foodstuffs, designed to mitigate the sufferlngs of the poor. The Europeans. who are all safe either on board ships or at the consulates, are guarded by blueJackets.
 The warships continue TO drop an oc- casional shell into groups of Kabylcs on the beach in order to prevent them from approaching the town.
 Advices from Rabat say that the KaByles have given the governor a fortnight in which to withdraw the French controller of customs. Other wise they say they will attack the town.
 The effervesence among the Anrjer- ras tribesmen in the vicinity of Tan gier is creating some apprehension that a surprise attack may be made on the city.

C.. now under sentence of death for the crime, was arrested at Mannheim last night on the charge of blackmail. The poe lice of Karlshrue have given out q statement to the effect that LindenaC sent Fraulein Olga Molitor, daughter of the late Frau Molitor, during the trial of Hau for the murder of the latter, an anonymous letter claiming that he saw Olga shoot her mother, but the baron promised to preserve silence, declared his love and asked for her hand in marriage. The police saw in this an attempt at blackmail and calumny against Olga, but the newspapers do not take Lindenau's revelations seriously.

HAS BIG TASK
France Will Have lis Hands Full in Dealing With the Moroc-
 can Situation.

Paris, Aug. S.--In spite of the firm intention of the French govern ment to keep within the terms of the Algeciras convention in it's dealings with Morocco the French press clear ly foresees that France, unless the situation rapidly improves, has en- tered upon a long and heavy task. The newspapers express the opinion that France, upon which the chief burden in restoring security in the disturbed country will fall, may be forced to occupy in turn all the Moro can ports and then probably be com pelled to undertake the punitive ex- petition to Fez, after which 1t would be impossible to withdraw, as was the case with the British in Egypt. As the British bombardment of Alex andria enhanced the prestige of Great Britain in Egypt, so, is 1t ar gued, the French bombardment of Casablanca will have similar effect on Morocco. An expedition to Fez, the newspapers point out, would like the British victory at Tel Eli -Kebir, complete the parallel.
 The Petit Parisien to-day prints an interesting interview with high parsonage" at the German foreign office, who indicates that Germany recognizes the logic of the situation and is prepared to acquiesce in Frances "incontestable predomin- ance" in Morocco, provided France Is prepared to give quid pro quo in the shape of the admission of Ger man government and German in- dividual securities into the French market.

Berlin, Aug 8.--Comptroller Metz, while studying municipal subjects here, is also inquiring into the feasl- biIity of selling New York city bonds in Europe. This is in consequence or the unsatisfactory result of the recent sale in New York. He appears to be- lieye that Paris is the best market, although it is possible that Berlin might participate
 Mir Metz finds there is plenty or money here, but American securities have so declined that European lend CTS distrust new issues. Then German money is flowing into German muni- cipal bonds, of which enormous quantities of per cents were sold this year and in 1906 at slightly below par. The recent issues were made at between 9S and 90. The New York city four per cents, however, may not, according to the law, be sold below par.
 A further striking indication of the unfayorables position of the German loan market is the fact that the re- cent issue of $1O0,O00O00 in imperial Prussian treasury notes, yielding an equivalent of APO per cent this week dropped below par.

KEPT UP BY EXCITEMENT.
Japanese Attacking Party Had Not
 Known They Were Wounded.

Owing to the small caliber of the bullets used during the Russo-Japan- csc war many soldiers did not know that they had been struck by them until the frenzy of an attack had passed. During the battle of Mukden a company of Japanese infantry. of a strength of 90 men. attacked Rus. sian party holding the opposite bank of the river. The attack was carried through with great spirit until the Japanese arrived under the river bank, when the Russians evacuated the position, evidently believing that their fire had been without any ef- feet. It was only then. that 40 out of the 90 Japanese discovered that they had been wounded during the ad- vance. The company commander only made the same discovery in his own case by seeing the water of the river redden by his blood. There was ap- parent no physical effect of the wounds so long as the men had been sustained by the fury and excitement of the advance. But on seeing that they were wounded all, from the ofi- cer downward, experienced the moral effect of their injuries. and all at once felt they could advance no farther.

This afternoon at the hospital 1t was stated that the man was suffering from shock as result of his injuries and that his condition was critical.

SHOT BROTHERS
Unattached Polish Priest of Chicago Shoots Without
 Giving Any Warning
WOMAN IS ALSO HELD

Pittsburg, Aug 8.--Ludwig Scze- giel, said to be an unattached Polish priest, of Chicago, walked into a South Side hotel at HI Carson street early to-day and without warning, it is said. whipped out a revolver and opened fire upon the two proprietors, twin brothers, named Steven and Andrew Starsyn- ski. Steven died within an hour and the physicians say Andrew cannot re- cover.
 Sczegiel. who was arrested. main tains sullen silence, and nothing could be learned from either of his alleged victims.
 When Sczegiel came to Pittsburg about ten days ago he went to the hotel kept by the brothers. accom- panied by a woman whom he intro duced as his housekeeper. They se- cured an apartment of two rooms. The woman. who gave her name as Francisco Sprock, is held as a sus- picious person. She denies all knowledge of the shooting.
 It was stated by Mrs Starzynski, wife of Andrew, that about ten min utes before the shooting her husband had reprimanded the pair for making a disturbance.
 The prisoner wears the partial dress of clergyman, although his attire does not indicate to what de- nomination he, belongs. The police authorities do not believe the man is member of any clerical order, but that he had purpose in assum- ing the priestly garb.

JOHN D. GETS IT
Prof ZuebJin of inc University 0f Chicago Says He is Partially
 Responsible For Socialism.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-John D. Rocke- feller. founder and supporter of the University of Chicago, was bitterly attacked yesterday by Professor Charles Zueblin of the department oi sociology of that institution.
 A similar attack was made by Prof Bushnell of Washington, who declar- ed that the whole world is turning to socialism in an effort to escape the burdens that have been piled on by the class to which Rockefeller be- longs.
 Prof Zueblin was greeted by a large audience, when he appeared in Kent theater to deliver his lecture. Not only did he express emphatic opinions about the head of the oil combine, but he also criticised the Standard Oil company itself. He de- clared the defense made for the big corporation at the recent case in which it was fined $29,240,000, that | 1t had only committed an offense that is common in business, was weak and cowardly. He said, in part:
 John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierponi Morgan, E. H. Hartman and the other trust magnates are doing more to make socialism possible than are its most zealous adherents. They are consolidating the industries and thereby simplifying the process fol state ownership, which constitute. socialism"
