Witnesses and the Others
as Defendants
ONE COMMITTED
TO FERRIS SCHOOL

Nathan Brown, colored, an old SOL
der who passed through the Civil
War, and at its close Joined the Tenth
Cavalry and took part in the famous
battle which followed the Custer mas
sacre, was a defendant in the City
Court to-day on the charge Of assault
and battery on Clarence Brown. a col
ored boy, aged years. The hearing
was postponed until next Tuesday in
order to allow Humane Agent Frank
Stout to make an investigation Of the
case.
In relating his experience as a mem
Der of the Tenth, Brown said he was
stationed at Fort Concha, Texas, wheh
his squadron was sent to the rescue
of Custer. After riding hard across
the plains, the soldiers arrived too late
to save Custer and his men, but were
in time to avenge their death. The
Indians were driven from their strong
hold by the use of Calling guns and
during the conflict Brown says his
horse was shot from under him. He
does not speak Of his exploits in a
boastful manner. but in a matter Of
fact way.

terry on Thomas Pancella, an italian
lad, at Eighth and Scott streets, Har-

Sir:--An interview appeared in the

pressed on the public as representing

Mr.. Higgins Ability.
You make this Statement in face Of
the fact. that. in an editorial which
appeared in the Sussex Republican on
February 22nd. and which / am sure

representing in any way the position
of that organization or its leaders on
any question whatever. Notwithstand-

cast at my feet.

admiration for your distinguished abil-

I am coRnizant OF your courageous, in
sistent, and successful efforts in be-
half OF the Republican party when you
were the leader of a forlorn hope, and
yield TO you every modicum Of the
credit due you for any and every sue

leadership. was only too glad to
volunteer under your slogan of MAN

lenged the advanced guards of Ad-
dicksism which threatened to engulf
this State in a maelstrom Of political
corruption, and was willing to waste
my weak strength in a vain effort to
uphold your banner in Sussex.
IT was with regret that / viewed your
withdrawal from the struggle which
you had so courageously aroused. and,
throughout the unfortunate division,
have time and again advocated that
your able leadership be enlisted, even
when you were supposedly sull1ing in

The Attack Upon Judge Grcsscup.
From the Chicago Tribune.

"Upon the first point the court
holds that in prosecution under the
Elkins Act the burden is upon the
government to prove, as bearing up
on the question Of intent, that the
shipper was aware Of the lawful
published rate. The court in thus
placing the burden upon the prose-
cution distinguished cases under
the Elkjns Act from cases brought
under the statutes against SNUG
Cling, the sale OF liquor to minors,
and other fiscal and police regula-
lations, in which penalties attach
irrespective Of proved intent.
"The third ground of reversal
will appeal even less strongly to the

What Does Japan Intend to Do2

The democratic national conven-
ton refused to listen to Congressman
Hobson, because he talked about the
possibilities of war between this
country and Japan.
Russia felt the same as we do I'M
til she woke up one morning and
found that during the night the
crafty and treacherous Jap had
struck without warning and crippled
her naval power in the Pacific.
If Japan is borrowing money al
the present time from foreign coun-
tries by the hundreds of millions,
and preparing for war at a cost
which Japan can not afford and can
never repay, except from the spoils
of war, is it not wise for this country
to take heed and prepare?
Japan's cabinet officers may de
clare for peace with all nations, but
their actions are disayowal of theil
words.
If Japan intends to attack this
country, it is the business of he,
statesmen to have this country
asleep when the attack is made.
