BROWNSVILLE BULLETS.
4naIysis Points to Guilt Of Negro
Soldiers.
rFror The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, Jan. 6.-The effort to prove that
negro soldiers did not shoot up the town Of
Brownsville by an analysis which showed that the
bullets cut from the walls Of houses in that city
contained per cent of antimony has proved a
boomerang The report sen. broadcast that
the Brownsville bullets contained this proportion
of antimony, while the bullets made by the gov
eminent contained none, and on this allegation was
based an elaborate argument in support of the in
nocence OF the negroes. 1t is now shown however.
not only that the bullets in the cartridges served
to the 25th Infantry contained antimony. but that
they contained the exact percentage found in the
missiles taken from the houses in Brownsville
It appears that while the bullets manufactured
by the government do not. IN so far as is known,
contain antmOny, most of those served out TO the
25th Infantry were manufactured by the Union
Metallic Cartridge Company. and that company
puts into its bullets exactly per cent of that
alloy Moreover. Of the thirty-nine shells
picked up in the streets of Brownsville after the
raid thirty-two were Union Metallic Cartridge Com
pany cartridges. These the shells with which,
the defenders of the negroes assert citizens OF
Brownsville sailed the streets. but the analysis
OF the bullets shows conclusively that they also
were made according to the Union Metallic Cart
ridge Company's formula. and that this ANALYSIS
corresponds precisely with that of other bullets
made by that company at the same time
In the opinion of majority of the members Of
the Committee Military Affairs, this instance
merely adds link 10 the hong chain of
circumstantial evidence establishing the guilt OF
the negroes and the defence Is thus moist Win ts
petard. II is admitted, however, that, in view
of the fact that the defence obtained the publca-
ton of it's assertions first. and of the further fact
il is for the truth 10 overtake an errone-
Gus statement when the former is published first,
the ends OF the defence may in slight degree
have been benefited.
The Committee Military Affairs VIII meet on
Thursday to take up routine business, and 1t is
expected that & the meeting that day pro-
gramme will be perfected for the completion OF the
Brownsville case and the submission OF reports TO
the Senate, which will doubtless end the anair-

UNFRAMED CHILDREN.
Editor Petty Makes Some Pointed Com.
ments on an Important Subject.

In certain town there was school
with some teachers wise and otherwise.
There was also a variety Of parents,
wise or otherwise. OF course there
were children, for there could have been
no school, for in this day and time when
most people arrive at the mature age of
eighteen they are too wise to learn or
to go to school.
Now on certain day when one Of
these teachers was going up and down
and across the streets of her town seek
ing some one that would talk to her or
listen TO her wisdom, crossed the path
OF one willing to listen to what she said.
Now here is one of her sayings:
ut is shame thc way poor people
who depend on their daily toll for Il liv-
mg indulge their children. They buy
three times as much candy, fruit and
other luxurics for their childrons

pcrintend the cooking Of meals. They
should also be taught the use of money.
These suggestions apply to the children
of factory people as well as to those of
mill presidents. There are intelligent
women in this city who could not pre-
pare simple meal if they were turned
loose in well equipped kitchen and
pantry. They know nothing of cook
ing 1t is most pitiable condition for
a young woman to start out in life too
poor to hire her work done and not
trained to do it herself. There are sew
cral homes in this city where the family
would go without breakfast and dinner,
too, if it depended on the male mem
bers to cut and split the stove wood and
the females to cook the food. Such a
condition should not exist. 1t arises,
no doubt, in part from the fact that the
parents i'm former days bought candy
and store lunches for their children and

pressed. Giving way to children, spoil

strength. Bill Bernhard surprised
enthusiastic friends Sunday when,
pitching for his Nashville team. he
ended thirteen-round battle victo-

Accompanying Manager Bernhard
from Nashville were several hum

train. Their noise encouraged Bill.
and having had rest almost con-
tinuously during the spring he let
loose with an exhibition of old-time
form. Five hits scattered in as
many innings prevented Memphis
from runs in all but the ninth
round, when a base on balls, a

Bernhard was invincible in the ex-
ira innings and furnished the hit
that pushed in the winners. New
Orleans is heading Bernhard's team
in the race.
