SOLDIERS
ARE GUILTY

Washington, D. C. )ec. 14.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent a special
message to congress on the Browns
vile affair and with it the report of
I-arbert j. Browne. employed by the
war department. in conjunction. with
Capt. w. @. Baldwin to investigate the
shooting up of Brownsville by the ne
gro soldiers. The president says in
part:
This report enables to fix with toll
erable defniteness at least some of
the criminals who took the lead in
the murderous shooting of private citi-
zens at Brownsville. 1t establishes
clearly the fact that TIN coIored SOL
diers did the shooting, but upon this
point further record was unnecessary,
the fact that the colored soldiers
dill shooting has already been estab-
lished beyond all possibility of doubt.
To Continue Investigation.
The investigation has not gone far
enough TO enable us TO determine all
the facts and we will proceed with it
but 1t has gone far enough to de-
termine with sufficient accuracy GER
tain fact of enough Importance to
make 1t unadvisable that place the
report before you.
1t appears that almost all the mem
bers of Company B must have been
actually concerned in the shooting,
either to the extent of being partici-
pants or to the extent of virtually en-
couraging those who were participants
As to companies G and d there can
be no question that personally every
man of them must have had some
knowledge that the shooting was done
by some of the soldiers of B troop and
possibly by one or two others in one
Of the other troops" e
Extenuating Circumstances.
The president says that while this
conceaiment was grave offense they
were probably cowed by threats by
more desperate men and there were
extenuating circumstances and that
they have been sucintly punished and
he recommends that these men be re-
instated by the war department with

rect. a e..

VIOLATES
THE SCHOOL LAW

Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 15.--County
Superintendent of Schools Wanner
swore out warrant of arrest before
States Attorney Thorp for Paul Sell
er. well known FARMER who resides
in the vicinity of Montpelier, charging
him with violating one of the school
laws of the state in regard to not
sending his children to school. The
warrant in all probability will be serv-'
ed by Sheriff Wasser today.
Z It is stated that the reason that
Mr.. Seller had not compelled his chill
dren to go TO school is that the school
house is situated nearly three miles
from his residence and that he con-
sfdered it a hardship for his children
to walk that distance at this time OF
the year.
The hearing will probably take place
before Justice Bigelow at an early
date.
