quiry, as shown by the various reports submitted to the senate, is a unani- nous agreement that justice requires the reinstatement in the army of a certain proportion of the discharged members of the Twenty fifth Infanary. Senator FOraker believes all of them innocent of any part in the shooting up of Brownsville The majority re-
 port convicts from eight to twenty of them of actual complicity in the affair, and considers it reasonably certain that an additional though unknown number must have had guilty knowledge of it., but admits that while the proof is abundant and conclusive that mem bers of the Twenty fifth Infantry were the perpetrators of this unprovOked at tack the evidence fails to identify the particular soldier, or soldiers, who participated in the affray. MT. For aker undoubtedly states the truth when he says, in his report, that whatever may be the fact as to who did the shooting, many of the men discharged were innocent of any offense in con- nection therewith;' but this has been acknowledged from the beginning, and it is the one fact upon which every body, from President Roosevelt to the senator from Ohio, is in full accord.
 "Inasmuch as a certain proportion of the discharged soldiers were innocent of any wrongdoing, it follows that the discharge of these men did them an in justice which ought to be repaired, if

 Senator Foraker's bill for the re- enlistment of the discharged men, We think solves this difficulty. IL pro vides for their reinstatement in the army upon making oath that they had no part in the Brownsville affair, that they knew of no soldier who did have part in it, and that they are withhold ing no information with respect to it. But this is just the sort of evidence which the war department and the president have heretofore refused to accept General Darlington, whose original recommendation for the dis missal of the black battalion was ac- cepted by the president. would not be- lieve the negro soldiers under oath.

MADAME CALVE
 LIKES THE SOUTH
SINGER HAS ARRIVED = HAD DRIVE YESTERDAY AND SPOHE OF CITYS HOMES-HoW SHE PREPARES FOR PROGRAMME.

Madame Calve. the great prima donna, who sings in Birmingham tomorrow night, has arrived in the city, and is at home in her palace car under the Louisville and Nashville shed.
 The entree is difficult to gain, for, as Madame Calve explained, she must have absolute secusion in the preparation of a programme
 Preparation for a programme is not the mere matter of practice" said Mad anne Calve. 'In fact r abhor practice, and therefore seldom practice. I am fa- miliar with the lines and the music is a part of my very being. Therefore, the preparation is purely a mental process. It is necessary to tone, bridle and spur my sentiment and feeling, until when step upon the stage to play the part, l can be as truly the Carmen of the beautiful and sad story, as if embodied her soul. In such moments fsl the greatest tri- umphs of my art"
 Answering the question as to whether or not she found work in the south as congenial and pleasing as In other sec tions, Madame Calve replied: The south is especially satisfying. I find here that exuberance of soul and warmth which characterizes my own people. The south understands, and here can sing without tiring."
 Madame Calve, in explaining how she spent her idle moments, stated that some exercise each day was necessary, and that she walked or drove as her mood direct ed In speaking of Birmingham she said: ''Your city is beautiful and inter- esting, and therefore my drive today was a happy one. I like your homes, appear ing more as homes than mere houses. Southern sentiment and refinement can be traced Tn your architecture, and yon value shade trees and grasses, natural and exquisite beautifiers."

He Did Not Take Any Rest After ArduouS Weeks
 Work JUDGE WEAKLEY RESUMES STRONG ARGU MENT TODAY Governor Indicates Satisfaction With Development of the Railroad Lit gation-Another Strenuous Week Promised.


 After resting a day in Birmingham, Judge Samuel D. Weakley and H. c. selheimer, attorneys for the state in the current railroad litigation pending before the federal court in Montgomery, returned to the Capital City yesterday afternoon.
 With them went Governor B. B. Conner. The pvernor returned to Birmingham after week in the country with the Ala bama high school locating board, and while he was tired and suffering with bad cold, he decided to go immediately to Montgomery. The routine matters of his office, he stated, need his attention.
 Neither the two attorneys nor the gov- ernor discussed the case concerning which the entire state is interested. They de- elared that practically it's every feature was nothing to be said Judge wealsley will resume his argument this morning at 10 o'clock, which will conclude the argu- ments of both sides of the litigation on the preliminary questions. After this ar gument, Senator Spooner will be given a hearing in the interest of the stockholders of the Central of Georgia railroad. Judge weakley will answer this argument.
 "As I stated Saturday night the argu- ments will probably continue throughout the week." stated Judge Weakley on de- parting, land after the conclusion of the arguments it is my opinion that Judge Jones will take the entire question, with all it's features, under advisement He might not render a final decision until a week after the conclusion of the de- bate"
 While he refrained from making state- ment other than the matter was now in the hands of the attorneys, Governor Conner lave indications of being satisfied with the case as far as it has pro- gressed.

 The clerical force of MT. Rieheys office in Atlanta was requested to continue at work until it could be communicated witk by the manager of the northern and east ern districts
 Concerning the other steps towards re- trenchment notably the 10 per cent cut in salaries of the nine officials, little of an official nature has reached Birmingham. The officials of the road in Birmingham cannot state whether their salaries will be affected or not.
 It is rumored in Washington papers however, that the cut of 10 per cent will affect every man in the employe of the Southern, save engineers, firemen, con- ductors and the like, whose salary is higher than $50.
 Nothing to that effect, however, has reached Birmingham in the way of official communication.

M. M. Richey, whose resignation as manager of the middle and western dis tricts of the Southern railroad. is effective this morning, spent yesterday in Birmins- ham.

 MT. Richey stated that he had no com- ment to make concerning the resignation, and that he has made no plans for the future While here yesterday he attend- ed to some company business.
 It is thought locally that the resignation is the following up of the Southern's pol icy of the retrenchment and curtailment.
 The announcement in The Age-Herald yesterday came as a surprise to MT. Richey's many friends in Birmingham. MT. Richey was formerly located here with the Southern, and afterwards as vice president of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company.
