PRESIDENTS ACT APPROVED.
Committee Finds That Discharge Of
Negro Troops Was Justified.

Washington. Reports from the
committee on military affairs were pre-
sented to the Senate Wednesday in re-
gard to the investigation of the affray
at Brownsville, Texas, which resulted
in the discharge without honor of three
companies of negro soldiers Of the
Twenty-ffth infantry.
At the same time a message was re-
ceived from the President calling at
tention to the fact that the testimony
taken by the committee sustains his
position In discharging the negro sol
diers. he recommends extension of
the time for re-enlistment of the dis
charged men who might be found not
to fall within the terms of the order.
There were four reports from the
committee, the majority being signed
by Senators Warren Lodge. Warner,
Dupont. Taliaferro, Foster. Overman,
Frazier and McCreary. minority re
port was signed by Senators Foraker,
Scott, Buikeley and Hemenway. The
majority report found as follows:
THAT IN the opinion Of the commit
tee the shooting was done by soldiers
belonging to the Twenty.tifth infantry;
that the testimony fails to identify the
particula: soldier or soldiers who par.
ticipated."
1t is stated that there is considera-
BILE contradiction in the testimony. but
that. taken as whole and reconciling
II wherever possible. 1t proves the case
outlined in the majority's decision.
The principal minority report was
presented by Senator Scott and takes
the position that It has been impossi-
BILE to ascertain who did the shooting
and makes the recommendation that
the negro soldiers be restored.
In addition to this minority report.
Senators Foraker and Bulkeley turned

represented by Senator Foraker. Sena-
tor Foraker's report declares that the
testimony of the witnesses against the
soldiers H. not reliable and that no mo-
tive for their alleged connection with
the ARRAY had been shown.
A supplemental report signed by Sen
ators Warren. Lodge. Warner and Du-
pont declares that the evidence shows
that the assault was perpetrated by
members of the battalion. but that II IL

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Funds on Hand to Pay a Number Of
Judgments Against City.
RELIC OF OLD ADMINISTRATION
when These Old Ones Are Paid on the
Levy for This Purpose Will BE
Exhausted, and Claims
Are StiII Pending.

The latest problem to come 70 settlement
in the city's affairs is the final payment
of several outstanding judgments. During
the latter half of last year nothing re-
manned in the judgment fund so none of
the claims could be paid. With the new
year, $S,551.57 was levied, and on this fund
the new council proposes to draw enough
to pay the following decreed judgments
Amelia Anderson, SS2O,62; o Kadlek,
$&6.12; John T. Coatsworth, $500. 16; William
T. Evans, $2,O45.55; John Burke, $2,SO5. 81;
Mae Lovely, $2,O11. "a. The costs on the
above cases have amounted to $3S4.75. The
total is IS, 1885, A, leaving a balance in the
fund of $1l6.13. This means that no more
judgments Of consequence can be paid this
year. Several cases are pending.
With the approach of the legislative ses-
sion the city council. with the support of
many citizens will formulate a plan like
that in vogue in the city of Omaha with the
object of securing relief from accidents due
to faulty walks and streets. 1t is proposed
to admit no claims unless notice of the
defect shall nave been submitted in writ
ing to the proper city officials at least five
days prior to the time of the accident. This
had the effect in Omaha of shutting off
most of the suits for personal damages. 1t Is
also proposed to go the city of Omaha one
better in this respect and ~stlpulate that In
cases where defective walks lie before pri-
vate property owners thereof shall be held
responsible for the condition of the walks
and liable for a certain per cent II not all
the damage arising from existing defects.
The latter law would have the effect of
keeping the walks in repair and also keep
ing the city Informed as to the needs in
the line of repair. AS the situation now
stands many defective walks exist in all
parts of the city. 1t is not counted sur
prising that the accidents have been so
many.
One reason for poor walks In many quar-
tiers is that the streets are not as yet
brought to grade, and the CITY cannot until
this is done compel the property owners
to put in permanent walks. Rather than
put in temporary walks, the property own
ers have in numerous cases allowed the
board walks to fall into moor repair.
Considerable excitement was developed
for a time Wednesday by the discovery of
Omaha daily bee., 1908-08-14

a human skeleton in the ash heap of the
Singer building. The ashes have been &C.
cummulating for six or eight months in
the heating plant of the building. Dan
Harmon had the contract for removing the
ashes, which was done yesterday. While
the men were shoveling the skeleton was
found. 1t CAV them all a start, being SO
unexpected. An undertakes was called, who
completed the unearthing of the skeleton
and took charge Of 1t. 1t was articulated
and was evidently the property Of some
physician or of medical students, who tir-
ing of the possession threw it in the ash
heap. so as not to incur the expense of
burial. Heafey & Heafey took charge of
the bones and buried them at the expense
Of the owner of the building.
