MAN WHO WANTS FORAKER.
Concluded from page u

esce in the treatment of the Ne
groes, still others wink at it and
Roosevelt proposes to join in and
help execute it. Only Foraker
has stepped into and held the
pass of Thermopylae. The party
had expected to make the coming
campaign on the great prosperity
which Democrats and Negroes
helped to make as well as Repub-
licans. But certified bank and
clearing, house checks have
knocked that myth into mythless-
ness.
Roosevelt scolds the people in
his message for not depositing
their money in the banks for the
public. good, forgetting that each
mans money is his own and that
he may keep it where he chooses.
The only proper way to get the
other fellows money Is to offer
him something he Is willing to
take for it. He will not find t so
easy to force deposits as he did
to discharge black soldiers and
revoke steamboat pilot licenses.
Now what? proclaim again and
defend the rights Of man. That
work is not yet complete.-John

BROWNSVILLE RAID IN
COURT.
Former Negro Soldier Sues te
Test Power of President.
WHITE MEN HIS hackers
Petitioner Says He Knew Moth.
in of Affair, Yet Was Dis
charged. :.

New York (Special.)-A suit
to test the right of the president
to discharge the Negro soldiers
of the Twenty-ffth infantry for
their alleged connection with the
Brownsville raid was begun in
the United States District Court
in this city today. The expecta-
ton is that as a result of the suit
the presidents action will be put
squarely up to the United States
Supreme Court.
The suit was brought under
the so-called Tucker act, which,
in the memory of those around
the federal courts here, has been
invoked only in two instances, al
though the law was passed in
1887. The novelty Of it hes in
the fact that it allows the United
States to be made defendant,
either IN the United States Dis
trict or Circuit Court, in the for
mer where the amount involved
is ST 900 or less, and in the latter
where it is more than 81 900, and
not more than $4,000.
Claims $I22 Pay Is Due.
Oscar w. Reid, who was a pri-
vate in Company G and now is
a resident of this city, is the
plaintiff in the action which was
brought to recover from the de-
PENDANT, the United States, the
sum of $I22.2o, which Reid con-
tends is due him as pay from the
government since his dismissal,
on the ground that his dismissal
was illegal.
The lawyers bringing the suit
for Reid are Ward, Mellen &
Woodbridge, 81 Nassau street.
In a statement given out today
It was announced the firm had
been retained 'by csrtain ger
tlemen in New England who be-
lieve in the equal rights of all
before the law and that every
man is entitled to his day in
court"
"These gentlemen" the state
ment went on in explanation,
believe the discharge of these
men from the service of the Unit
ed States in absence of any de-
cision by any court martial or
civil court that any of their num-
Der participated in the distur-
bance was wholly unjustifable
and violated the rights secured to
these men by both the constitu-
ton and the laws of the United
States. The gentlemen who have
authorized this suit believe the
question involved of greatest
importance to every enlisted man
IN the United States army.
Names of Backers Withheld.
The names of the men behind
the suit were withheld. A repre-
sentative of the firm said: 'TThey
are men of wealth and standing,
but are doing this as private in
dividuals, not as representatives
of any constitutional society. The
matter came up in the coruse OF
casual conversation, and it then
was decided to bring the suit"
In the petition Reid asserts he
is wholly guiltless, was in his
quarters at the time, and that be-
fore the shooting had ceased he
was present and answered his
name at roll call. He declares he
has no knowledge of the affair

RICHARD CROKER'S HOPE.

LONDON, April 25.-Richard Croker is
developing two thoroughbreds at Glen
