Senate Listens to Charge That Pub
lilo Funds Were Wrongly Di-
verted to Get Evidence
Against Negro Soldiers.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Once again
today the senate chamber was the
Mecca for hundreds who boast that
they never miss hearing the epoch
making orations Of statesmen, for It
was well known that Senator Joseph
B. Foraker Of Ohio was to take the
floor and attack the president on the
Brownsville incident.
Every gallery seat was taken long
before Senator Foraker rose to speak.
Then the spaces back of the gallery
benches were filled, and the pressure
for admission became so great that
the attendants permitted the narrow
aisleS to be crowded.
Every senator who could be there
address the senate. Scores of men,
bers of the house, together with 9th
ers entitled to the privileges Of the
floor. stood in compact array in the
rear of the chamber.
Outside the gallery entrances peo-
pie were clamorOus for admission.
Even the floor lobby, which is not
open to spectators when the senate Is
in session, was packed with visitors
who fought to get glimpse Of what
was going on beyond the swinging
doors of the upper house.
When the senate doors opened the
crowd that poured in overflowed the
floor as well as the galleries, for the
senate employees were powerless.

version of public funds by President
Roosevelt and the then secretary OF
war. William H. Taft, in employing
Detectives Browne and Baldwin at
cost of $4,000 to get evidence against
negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth in
fantry as to participation in the riot
at Brownsville in the summer of 1906.
Mr.. Foraker declared that the $15.-
600 was filched from the public treas
ury in a shocking and atrocious man
ner and that to pay the detectives
illegal hands were laid upon money
appropriated by congress ten years
ago for a special emergency war and
contingency fund.
1t was the duty of Secretary of War
Taft to make report to congress as to
how this fund was expended and whS
got the money, Mr.. Foraker declared,
but no such reports were made.
Most of all, said Senator Foraker,
the employment of outside detectives
by the government is q violation Of
statute and clearly illegal.
Furthermore, he insisted the en-
ployment of detectives in the Browns
vile case was utterly unnecessary,
as the president had previously and
publicly declared that the guilt of the
negro soldiers was conclusively prov

Washington, Jan. 12.-Secretary Of
State Root and Ambassador Bryce ot

the settlement of international differ
ences between the United States and

poses, the navigation of the st. Johns
river between Maine and New Bruins
wick, and the use Of the Milk river
In the northwest.
The contracting powers have agreed
upon certain line of principles whict
are to guide the joint high commission
in it's work. leaving to them the inter.
probation of those principles as appli

court that e. II. Hartman could not

gress says in part:
In the opinion of this commission, when
Mr.. Hartman assumes control of the I'm
ion Pacific railroad he ceases to be pri-
vate individual to that extent and can no
longer claim protection. He might prop
erly be required to state whether he had
sold to the Union Pacific, which he con-
trolled stocks belonging to himself and.
If SO, that he should further be required
to state what profit he had individually
made out of this transaction. If this gen.
tleman ia allowed to accumulate from tho
manipulation of these public agencies vast
sums of money which must finally come
from the body of the people, We think he
is so far a trustee of the people that he
cannot object to stating the manner in
which these accumulations have been
made.
