LAST CHAPTER IN
BROWNSVILLE AFfRAI

WashinSion, D. c., April 6.-The
military court of inquiry which, during
the last year has notwithstanding the
shooting up of Brownsville, Tex, finds
that the evidence clearly sustains the
charge that the shooting was done by
soldiers of the Twenty fifth Infantry,
colored.
AS to the charges made by the Mayo
and citizens of Brownsville, the court
is of the opinion that; first, the soldier
of the Twenty-tifth infantry stationed
at Fort Brown, Tex, did on the night
of August 1914, 1906, shoot into houses
of the town of Brownsville, Tex, occu-
pied by men, women and children, kill
ing Frank Datus, a citizen of that
town, seriously wounding the lieuttn-
ant of police, NJ. Y Dominguez, caus-
ing him the loss of an arm and killing
the horse under him. The court IS
unanimous in it's opinion that the evil
dence sustains the charges.
Second, as to the disciplinary aspect
Of their crime, including the perform
ance CT duty by officers and enlisted
men Of the Twenty-fifth infantry, gar
lisoned in Fort Brown, Tex, on the
night OF August 1914, 1906, as meas
ured by the standard in the army, the
court is Of the opinion that if the Off
GERS and privates had performed their
respective duties or che evening of Au-
guest 1914, 1905, Immediately prior to
the shooting ARRAY, with appreciation
of the obligations and responsibilities
devolying upon them by the serious
situation then confronting them, the
shooting ARRAY could not have oc-
Cured.
Also if Immediately after the shoot
ing when the men had been charged
with the crime, a careful inspection of
every man in the garrison, including
his arms, equipment and ammunition
had been made, as was attempted at
daylight, several hours afterward,
some Of the guilty men would have
been discovered.
Third AS to the eligibility for re-
instatement, a majority Of the court
finds favorably as to the qualifications

If two young persons should be lowborn love

They belong to the animals. 1t is very proper, just

find him shocked; but his face wore its
customary look of unruff1ed peace.
Did you hear what that young wo-

American custom that the man may be

do not have any such. No gentleman
swears, no more than he kisses. If we
wish to say the worst things there may be
about such one, in my country we say

one of the Samurai, he would kill you just

the Workings we heard two women dis
cussing the methods they were using to

TALK OF THE TOWN.

A rather amusing incident occurred
last Sunday in which two gentlemen
well known in hotel circles Of this city
figured conspicuously.
Judge Wand one Of Manager Nights
chief aids-de-camp at the New Willard.
and Mr. Keyser. one of his popular
clerks. started out on a walk and reached
Chevy Chase all well and good. In
some unaccountable manner the sprint
ers became side-tracked there. and went
piking along the railroad tracks en- route
to Rockville. apparently under the i'm
preston they were going in the direc-
ton of Washington.
However. later developments found them
wandering aimlessly through a patch OF
woods. and for half an hour both we're
bewildered, neither being able to deter
mine his geographical location.
After a frultless search for something
that resembled civilization, they came
across a country dwelling. but upon IN
vestigation, it was found that it was I'M
inhabited. BY this time both pedestrians
were becoming annoyed. but Mr.. Key
ser's eagle optics discovered an artesian
well In the distance which he surmised
was Glen Echo.
Judge Wand passed upon the mat
ter, IN his characteristic legal fashion.
and soon pointed out that such was not
tee case. But. being game walkers, they
continued their Journey until at last they
found a human being-a farmer-who
pointed out noad that led to the Con-
duit read The highway brought them
into a station this side of Glen Echo.
Both gentlemen are a trife sensitive
regarding the matter. and unhesitatingly
admit that they were temporarily lost.
Notwithstanding the fact that they have
handled large gatherings at the New
Willard without even a sign OF losing
their bearings"
1t is suggested that In the future these
competitors OF Weston take a compass
with them, thus saving the humiliation
OF asking people where they are.
One Of the coachmen OF a fashionable
family was eompllmented by the mis-
,tress the other day on the appearance OF
the horses.
How do you manage to keep them so
neat and clean and glossy?'' inquired the
lady as she prepared to drive out one
day. They never used to be that way
We'll. you see. mum, it's this way" he
replied, hopping his honest brew with a
red bandanna; I've been borrowing the
vacuum cleaner from the maid every
morning"
