HAS NEW EVIDENCE TO OFFER.

AMENDS BILL FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
Senator Foraker today introduced an
amendment to the bill providing for the
re-enliStment of the negro troops dis
charged without honor because of al
legged participation in the ARRAY at
Brownsville, Tex, and addressed the
Senate concerning the amendment. He
proposes in his new measure to estab-
fish tribunal consisting Of retired army
officers, naming these officers in the bill,
before whom evidence may be submit
ted as to the guilt of defendants and be-
fore whom the defendants themselves
might appear to answer to charges. The
measure Is so drawn as practically to
take out Of the hands Of the executive
and give to a tribunal appointed by Con
gress full authority to consider the
Brownsville question and by it's findings
provide for the re-enlistment Of the dis
charged negroes.
New Investigation Necessary.
In addressing the Senate Mr.. Foraker
said it was all elementary proposition in
American law that the accused may
have an opportunity to confront the ac-
cuser and to appear in person and an
swer with evidence. He said that he
lad not expected it would be necessary
co enter upon a new investigation of the
Brownsville question, but that during
the summer letters had been coming to
him from these discharged negro SOL
diers declaring that detectives were con-
stantly engaging them in conversation.
These men," said Senator Foraker,
''are not secret service detectives Of
course, for they would have no right
under the law to engage in such SERVICE"
Presidents Message Read.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Foraker's
remarks, Mr.. Culberson asked that the
Presidents message on the Brownsville
affair be read and Vice President Fair
banks directed that that be done, all the
senator's present remaining in their
seats and listening attentively to the
reading.
After the reading of the Presidents
message, which was brief, bad been con-
cluded, the clerk read all of the state
nents and other evidence submitted to
the war department for which the Presi-
dents message was merely a letter Of
usual custom. Ordinarily the general
reports are sent to the proper commit
tee without the formality of reading. In
view of the fact that the report con-
tains what purports to be a partial con-
fession of guilt by one of the discharged
negro soldiers much interest was shown
in the reading.

1T is Rogers manner it has changed
so much of late Once he used to be as

it meant if you saw them together. And
she is just as sweet to him as one could
wish-very shy, but so simple and child

say she has improved"

almost pretty sometimes; not that that

''Missie is actually growing fond OF
