(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb 26.-That the
shooting ARRAY at Brownsville, Tex,
on the night of August 1914, 1906,
was done by some negro soldiers of
the Twenty-fifth United States infan-
try, and that the testimony taken
before the senate committee on mil
itary affairs fails to identify the gull
ty persons, is the opinion of eight
members of the committee.
Four members of the committee
voted against this decision, and one
member did not vote.
The resolution declaring the guilt
of the negroes was submitted by Sem
ator Lodge and was adopted after
five resolutions by Senator Foraker.
one by Senator Dupont and one by
Senator Scott, all of which were Of
fered as substitutes, had been voted
down.
The vote yesterday was reached
after prolonged investigation, ex-
tending over two sessions of con-
taken covering thousands of pages.
Practically every negro of the three
companies of infantry dishonorably
discharged by President Roosevelt,
testified In his own behalf, while evil
dence in support of the president was
given by many army officers and cit
liens of Brownsville.
Throughout the entire controversy
which in many sections OF the coun-
try has been made a political issue.

directed by Senator Foraker.

majority OF the republican mem
bers came to the presidents support.
The Ohio senator expressed himself
as gratified at this, as it was appar-
ent from the outset that all of the
democratic members were convinced
that the negroes did the shooting.

Denver, Feb. &C. = Information
charging Giuseppe Alio with the muir

today in the district court by District
Attorney George A. Stidger.
This action is taken to indicate
that the authorities have secured
from the prisoner all the information

Alio will be brought back secretly
to Denver from Colorado Springs,

the development of commerce on our

prove that this statement is true. He
declares that the development of the
inland waterways will have results
far beyond the immediate gain to

It's National Duty.
He believes the national govern
ment should do everything possible
to secure the largest possible use of

this: "Other agencies can assist,

Assassination of President
Roosevelt Reported.
BAND OF ANARCHISTS
Said to Have Literally Cut
Him to Pieces.
Marion People were Greatly Alan
ed-Man Who Started the Kumor
is Not Known.

A Wild rumor was afloat in the
city Sunday to the effect that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had been shot. The
report which undoubtedly originat-
ed with some sensationaelist, spread
like wild-fre and at o'clock in
the afternoon it was the sole topic
of discussion throughout the city.
People flocked to the local tele-
graph offices but were unable to
learn any definite news. It was de
ciared that a railroader who came
in on an afternoon train from
Bellefontaine started the report
and soon the telephone bells in
all the railroad offices were tink
ling and the impatient railroader
was compelled to answer emphati-
cally No? TO the anxious query.
''ls IL really true that President
Roosevelt has been shot"
AS the report increasd in age,
II grew more terrible in meaning.
About 6 o'clock the preposterous
message that Roosevelt had been
surrounded by band of anarchists
at Washington and cut to pieces
with knives, was current.
About z o'clock last evening it
became generally known that the
report was a falacious one and the
great anxiety resting on almost
the entire inhabitants OF the town
was nrted.
