SENATOR FORAKER Tuesday of
last week ''took a shot at" the
President relative to his employ
ment of the secret service in the
Brownsville affair. The press re-
port Of his speech says that the
Ohio Senator charged the Chief
Executive with the equivalent of
misappropriation, and said that
the funds thus misused were ap-
piled to securing trumped-up evil
dence against the negroes of the
Twenty-ffth infantry, who were
dismissed from the army for their
alleged guilt in the Brownsville,
Texas, shooting affair. "It will
appear from the Presidents mes
sage and the exhibits thereto at
tached," said Senator Foraker,
"showing the mode in which the
detectives are operating and the
testimony in answer thereto, that
fraudulent impersonation, misrep-
resentation, lying, deceit, treach-
cry, liquor and intoxication, coup
led with promises of immunity,
and excitement of hope and fear,
and the offer of employment and
remunerative wages, have been
resorted to to get the testimony
sought for" How Foraker and
Roosevelt must love each other!
