ISSUE WITH taft
Japanese Says Editors Did Not Create

New York City.-M. Zumoto.
owner of the Japan Times OF Toxic,
and n Of the Commercial Commits.
sioners Of Japan who are visiting this
country, takes issue with President
Taft's statement that all talk Of war
between the United States and Japan
was the invention Of newspaper edi.
tors.
"On our trip over this country. we
have heard many criticisms of tho
press said Zumoto. Orators seem to
have the habit Of using the press as a
scapegoat for any unpleasant incident
they have to explain away.
When we were in Minneapolis,
President Taft told US that all the talk
OF war between our countries were
inventions Of editors who wanted to
Increase the circulation of their
papers. The same story was taken up
by other speakers.
II think Mr.. Taft's expression Of
opinion was founded on m~isinforma-
ton, for I am sure 1t Ia q mistake that
the newspapers were responsible"

BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY On

PLEAS.
Negro Soldiers Discharged for Shoot
Ing Up Texas Town Have Chance
for Reinstatement.

Washington, d. CATER months
OF tedious work, the Brownsville
court of inquiry has almost completed
the first stage of it's work. In the Sec
ond stage, soon to be entered, the
court will pass directly OF the quail
fications for re-enlistment in the army
of the non-commissioned oIncers and
privates Of Companies b, G and d Of
ne Twenty-fifth Regiment infantry,
some Of whom were alleged to have
been involved in the shooting up" Of
Brownsville, Tex, the night Of August
10, 1906. Up to this time the members
of the court. which is headed by Lieut..
Gen. Samuel B. M. Young, retired,
have been digesting and annotating
the great mass of testimony which has
figured in the case in the hearings be-
fore the senate committee on military
affairs, before courts martial and in
inquiries conducted by army officers
and others. In other words, the court
has been weighing in chambers the
material already in hand having a
bearing on the case This amounted
in all to fully 1000 pages.
More than 100 men were discharged
as a result Of the orders given by
direction Of President Roosevelt, and
considerable interest is being mani
tested as to what proportion of that
number will make an effort to secure
re-enlistment.
The Brownsville court was appoint
ed by President Taft April Z last, and
1t has n year from that date to make
a final report. Its personnel is made
up entirely Of retired officers, who
have worked all summer in the con.
sideration ofthe evidence already
taken. The discharge Of the men of
the three companies because OF the
refusal Of the soldiers to assist in
bringing totrial of their associates
who may have been guilty was a sub
ject Of heated discussion, particularly
in the senate during the last congress

to have them reinstated in the army.
