to get his job for Salina man, (who
by the way is pushing Rees hard on
that account) and entered the race.
II ominated, he would not dare re-
sign his judgeship; If he took the

if elected he might not be able to get
his seat on that account.

FORAKER SPEAKS
MADE HIS LoNo-PRoMIsED PLEA
FOR THE DISCHARGED
NEGRO SOLDIER.
NOT ATTACK ON PRESIDENT
Testimony Against Troops He Declared
Was Contradictory and Unre.
IiabIe-Differen Bills for
Relief Compared.

Washington, Apr. 15.-A careful an
alysis of testimony taken in the in
vestigation of the shooting up OF
Brownsville, August 1914, 1905 and an
argument in favor Of the re-enlistment
of the colored soldiers of the Twenty
fifth regiment, United States infantry,
was made In a speech delivered Tues
day by Senator Foraker Of Ohio. The
senate gave an attentive hearing and
the galleries were filled with visitors,
the majority Of them negroes.
Before entering upon this labor"
said Mr.. Foraker, ut may not be amiss
to remark, in view of the many mis-
statements that have been made, that
the purpose of this investigation has
not been to embarrass the president or
anybody else; nor has 1t been to make
any capital of any kind, political or
otherwise, against anybody or for any
body"
The senator reviewed the various in
cidents and orders that led up to the
discharge of the men without honor.
Most of the witnesses against the
soldiers he said, testified four different
times. Their testimony so given Is
sufficiently contradictory to show that
IL is unreliable" he said, "but, aside
from the contradictions on account OF
the darkness of the night, many things
that they testified to could not have
possibly been observed by them.
The circumstantial evidence against
the soldiers concerning the shells and
bullets after the shooting, turned out,
Mr.. Foraker declared, to be favorable
to them because of the impossibility
for them to have had such ammunition
without that fact being developed In
the examinations that were made. Be
sides this, no adequate motive-in
fact, no motive whatever Is shown Tor
such an assault on the town.
Mr.. Foraker compared bills pending
before the senate providing for the en-
listment Of the soldiers, one intro
duced by Senator Warner OF Missouri
giving the president authority to re-
enlist them II he should be satisfied
that they did not participate In the
ARRAY and that by Mr.. Foraker making
re-enllstment mandatory upon the sol
dier taking an oath that he did moi
participate or know anything OF the
Tullty parties concerned in 1t, Mr..
Foraker's bill also annuls the record
Of discharge without honor, q provision
mot included in the Warner bill, and

The manifest ineficiency Of the
fire equipment of Abilene has been
demonstrated SO strikingly during
the past few weeks that there should
be no hesitanCy in complete re-
arrangement Of it In manner that
will provide the best possible protec-
ton for every citizen Of the city. 1t
is unfair to ask people to build good
homes and improve their property in
Abilene and then refuse to provide
for them the protection from fire to
which they are entitled.

Adjourn When Work e Done.

Washington, Apr. 15.-An important
conference was held at the White
House Tuesday night between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Representative
Watson of Indiana, Republican whip"
relative to the legislative program in
the house and the movement looking
to an eraly adjournment Of congress.
The conference lasted for more than
two hours and afterward Mr.. Watson
called on Speaker Cannon to report
what had taken place at the White
House. In an interview, Mr.. Watson
said that the president told him there
was no division Of sentiment between
the White House and the capital over
legislation that would not yield to
compromise. The president, said Mr..
Watson, was in sympathy with the
early adjournment proposition but
wanted congress to pass the necessary
legislation before doing so.
