HARDIN MATTER
SMOO7HED over

WASHINGTON, April 14.--Secre-
tary Root had long conference at
the state department yesterday with
the Russian ambassador, Baron Ro-
sen, the feature of which was tho
Manchurian situation and In conse-
quence when the ambassador left In
the afternoon for New York on his
way to Russia, he bore with him the
last words OF the American state de-
partment on that important subject.
The interview was eminently salts
factory on both sides.
From the Russian standpoint 1t
was made plain to Secretary Root
that the $50 local Russian officials
In Harbin were deserving OF support
in their efforts to rehabilitate that
important trade center and resume
the execution OF the ambitious plans
that had been formed by the Russian
government for the development OF
the city before the war with Japan
Therefore the objection Of Consul
Fisher to recognition of the Russian
authorities at Harbin was found to
be based rather upon the form II
which the local Russian officials pro.
posed to attain their efforts and mo-
to the objects themselves. Therefors
1t may be stated there will be M
further friction between the Ameri
can consul and the Russian govern
lment at Hardin over this incident.

!. CHAMBERS CHARGED WITH
MALICIOUS DESTRUCTION OF
PIPE LINE USED TO CARRY
WATER ACROSS HIS PLACE.

A warrant was secured this morn
ing for the arrest of j. Chambers,
charging him with the malicious de-
struction of a water pipe belonging
to Leon LeQuime and r. r. Lowe.
Chambers is engaged in the dairy
business and recently filed on prop
erty located north of the Central
Ferry school house. The pipe In
question Is used to carry water from
a spring located on the land acquir-
ed by Chambers, but the complaining
witnesses allege they have secured
a water right from the state before
the Chambers filing on the property.
The spring was developed by driv-
ing a tunnel into the hillside, after
which the pipe line was installed to
supply water for 11-acre grape
vineyard located on lower bench.
The complaining witnesses allege
they also installed Y Inch pipe for
Chambers, who Is now charged with
cutting the LeQuime and Lowe serv-
ice pipe in hope of acquiring the
entire flow of the spring.
The case will be brought to trial
before Justice of the Peace Georg.

SENATOR FORAKER REVIEWS
BROWNSVILLE CASE AND ASKS
CONGRESS TO PASS BILL FOR
NEGRO REIMBURSEMENT.

WASHINGTON, April IA
careful analysis taken of the investi-
cation of the shooting up of Browns
Vile, Tex, August 1914, 1905, and
the argument in favor of the re-en-
listment of the colored soldiers Of the
Twenty-fifth regiment, was made in
a speech delivered today by Senator
Foraker.
He prefaced his remarks by saying
the purpose Of the investigation was
not to embarrass the president nor
anybody else, nor had 1t been prose-
cuted to make capital of any kind
for anybody against anybody. He
stated that the negroes gave their
evidence with such straightforward
frankness and such manifest truth
fulness that nothing remains to
show their complete vindication ex-
cept only the discovery OF the real
culprits, which time will surely
make unless the adage murder will
Iout' has ceased"
He declared that the soldiers good
character should greatly strengthen
the presumption of their innocence
and said the citizens of Brownsville
had abundance of ammunition with
which the soldiers had been supplied
every cartridge of which the soldiers
accounted for on the day following
the ARRAY.

Shall CITY
CALL FOR BIDS
SPIRITED CONTROVERSY OVER
QUESTION OF POLICY SPRUNG
LAST NIGHT WILL BE SETTLED
AT SPECIAL MEETING.

The question of asking for bids for
the installation of the water pipe re-
Gently ordered by the city occasioned
brief but spirited discussion in the
city council last night and resulted
in an adjournment being taken until
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at
which time the matter will be fully
discussed and decision reached.
The question was brought before
the council by motion of Council
man Salsberg, who believes a saving
of at least $1,000 can be effected by
asking for bids for the digging and
filling of the bitches, the pipe to be
laid and joined by crew from the
water department.
City Controller Nickerson first ap-
peared before the council and re-
viewed the system of bookkeeping
inaugurated for the water depart
ment and suggested that an arrange
ment should be effected by which a
complete map and record of the en-
tire system should be made. Council. +.
man Salsberg then offered the mo-
tion to have the city engineer plans
for the future work of the depart
ment and to have the digging and
filling features of the construction
performed under contract.
Councilman Howard is opposed to
having this work done by contract
on the grounds that no saving would
be effected and that the money would
be paid to a class of laborers who are
transient, while under the city's pol
icy the work is being performed by
resident taxpayers.
Councilman Salsberg supports his
contention because he believes this
work already performed has cost thu
city much more than it would II per
formed under contract. He state!
the sale Of bonds was effected undel
certain conditions because it was be
lieved a material saving in the price
Of labor could be effected by begin
ming work at once. He cites the ex
perience of Contractor Clark, who
has been able to get laborers at q
cents an hour or $1.60 for an eight
hour day, while the city Is paying
$2.25 for services for the same
period.
i The discussion was not brought
before the council until late In thu
session, and because of the latenes
of the hour Mayor Heitfeld favore'
deferring the debate of the question
until Thursday afternoon, at which
time the entire session will be de
voted to this matter.

not further modest her. the case was
dismissed. The girl returned to her
home and remained there with her
mother until March &c, when she left
ostensibly to visit neighbor. She
was later discovered by her father In
Fyfe's house, which Fyfe left as Mr..
Wilson approached.
Mr.. Wilson directed his daughter
