The meeting to settle the fate of
the Portsmouth baseball club. which.
incidentally and by-the-way, has al
ready been settled, which was to have
been held in Murphy's Hotel last night,
was again postponed until either Fri
day or Monday In fact the necessity
of a meeting is nihil so far as the
Portsmouth club is concerned. The
stockholders, however. are slightly
curious as to how they will come out
of the matter. Jake Wells Is the
centre of attraction of the meeting,
and he has not been able to get away
from the Vaccinations Of the Great

fight right up to the chins Of the the

not able to be in Richmond while the

Another point taken up by the re-
corder was the location of the bullet
holes found after the shooting.
Not one scrap of evidence said he,
has ever been furnished before any
tribunal or official, that a single build
ing or object of any kind in the limits
of Fort Brown was struck by a bullet
fired from the direction of the town of
Brownsville. The town was riddled
with bullets during the firing, and
men, women and children residents of
the town and who belonged to every
class of society, except negro, We're

consideration of the above facts
alone is sufficient to show the firing
party came from the protected zone,
namely Fort Brown"
A study of the trajectory of the bull
let's fired that night was made by ex-
perts for the court of inquiry.
This report Captain Rowland said,
demonstrated there was firing from
the pOrches of d. and B. barracks and
probably from G. barracks and much
firing from the post between the bar

BLACK DOG ENTERS
INTO THE INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, Mar 28.-A big.
black dog may influence the decision
as to whether any of the negro SOL
diers; discharged for the famous
shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, are
to be allowed to re-enlist in the Unit
ed States army. Such a dog is said to
have bounded along ahead of the raid
ers on their mission of iawlessness,
August IL, 1906.
Captain Charles r. Rowland, re-
corder of the court, today asserted
this dog belonged to company of the
S5th regiment, and scampered along
ahead of the soldiers with whom it
came in daily contact. His story of
the dog was only one of the points
marshalled by the army officer in sup
port of his contention that the SOL
diers were guilty
The tale of the dog was told the
court when Captain Rowland reached
the part of his argument dealing with
the raid through the town. AS the
raiders went through Corn alley, he
recalled that Mr.. and Mrs Odin heard
the noise, and looking out, saw q dog
leaping along ahead of the men and
thought the men were shooting at this
supposed mad dog. He said Mr. Odin
described it as a large black dog"
This big black deg. which has here
tofore been neglected in the case" say
the recorder, "enters into it with very
illuminating effect. because not half
an hour beore he was standing watch
at the gate post"
Stress was laid by the recorder on
the testimony that the fire that night
was done by volieys. An attempt by
civilians to fire by volleys he contend
ed. would not have been successful.

To Start Work
In a FeW Days

County Surveyor Wrinkle announced
yesterday that work on the construc
ton of the bridge on the Harve Shaw
road over the Touchet would be started
by the first of next month and that
already steps had been taken towards
preparing for the concrete work. This
bridge, which is to be erected by the
Columbia Bridge company Of this city
is to be one of the finest bridges in
the entire county.
1t will have two spans. each 100
feet long, and is to be erected at a
cost of $4,000 The commissioner, 50
it is understood, had expected the
bridge to cost about $4,000 and outside
firms came near that figure. but the
Columbia Bridge company, d local firm,
was able to do the work at a much
more reasonable figure.
The work has been held back owing
to the high waters in the Touchet
but now that they are receding the
concrete work will doubtless be star
ted the first of the month and the work
can progress and at the same time
not interfere with traffic over the
road

BUCKLEY HAS HARD
TIME AS WITNESS

NEW YORK, Mar 2S.--William p.
buckley had most uncomfortable
time today in the fire insurance in
curry He was on the stand practic-
ally all day.
State Superintendent of Insurance
Hotchkiss continued his examination
into the lawyers service in connection
with legislation at Albany, for which
Buckley is said to have received many
thousands of dollars from fire insur-
auce companies.
Aside from Buckley's testimony, the
most interesting incident of the day
WAS the Identification by George +.
Seward president of the Fidelity and
Casualty company. of Edward ID.
Brown of MiddletoWn, n. Y, as the
man who i'm 1892 asked for $1,000 on
behalf of Senator Big Tim" Sullivan
70 have the bill killed. This request
is alleged to have been made in Sing
Sing prison Brown later denied he
eyer had such a conversation with Sc
ward or had ever seen him before.
William B. Smith, general counsel
of the Travellers Insurance company
of Hartford testified his company paid
s2f,4O0 to Buckley in 1908 to put
through the liability reserve bill.
This amount is the highest mem
making.
With Buckley refusing to talk. vir-
tually all the evidence today was dug
up by Mr. Hotchkiss from letters ex-
changed between Buckley and the late
George z. Sheldon, who, as president
Of the Phoenix Fire Insurance COM
pany of Brooklyn, collected from va
rious companies the money sent to
buckley.
One letter from Sheldon to Buck
ley, dated August 90, 1904, referred to
The coming election of state senators.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-29

and said
Il wish you would bear in mind the
districts where a little aid might be
rendered in the matter of election ex-
penses and thus save our doing any
thing after the legislature comes to-
gether."
Buckley, however, did not approve
altogether of this method. He wrote
back that as rule, it is not altogeth-
er desirable, because our friends for
get they have been helped when the
crisis comes. 1t is better to be pre-
pared TO meet the crisis when 1t
comes"
At the close of the 1904 session
Buckley sent in his bill for 900, but
he had trouble in getting the money.
The bill was sent on April 10, with a
letter which showed Buckley took
great pride in that years work.
For the first time in years. he
wrote. strike bills were not even per-
nlitted to be introduced
Sheldon sent back the bill saying
Certain particular gentlemen" on
the underwriters board objected to 1t,
and suggested Buckley circumvent
technicalities by putting in an item for
services in collecting rate statistics.
Subsequent correspondence showed
that Buckley fixed the bill Sheldon az
rected Matters dragged along until
fall, and still Sheldon could rot col
lect the $4,000. Finally Buckley
wrote twice to him representing he
had loans that he must meet. He ad-
mitted in his testimony that he had
no such loans.
Then that was a lie, wasn't it?"
Mr. Hotchkiss asked
The witness admitted that it was a
lie, which he had used to hasten the
collection of his money. Late in the
fall Sheldon collected a fund to pay
Pncklev and sent the money to him.

Price Decline is
An OminOuS Sign

NEW YORK, Mar. 2S.-The extent
of the price declines suffered in the
stock market today was regarded om-
inously. The volume Of sales was not
heavy and the wide concessions which
had to be made to effect them had
a disquieting effect on sentiment. The
superficial causes advanced in explain
alton We're not considered adequate
to account for the weakness OF the
market, and there were apprehensions
of some undisclosed condition which
was prompting the withdrawal of eff
fective support by the financial pow
erSl
The extension of the Easter holiday
in London to include Monday left that
important source of speculation closed.
1t was surmised that the prospect In
that market nevertheless might fur
nish some explanation of the days de-
preston.
The upturn in the wheat market
directed attention to another source
of anxiety. The reports coming to
hand of winter damage to wheat have
been mitigated heretofore, with as
surances of the possible restoration of
good conditions by timely moisture
in the threatened regions. The news
relieving rains had not been forth
coming was seized upon by the bear
ish element in the speculation to force
declines IN process. Copper securities
stood out conspicuously in the weak
ness. Advices from Boston of a fur
Their slump in the price of CRANKY
Consolidated mining brought large
selling orders in other copper stocks.
The action of the group today seemed
to disclose a speculative position
which was vulnerable to tie unfav
orable effect of the suspicious aroused
by the poor conditions revealed in the
CRANKY affairs.
The unsupported state of the market
aroused fears that the general trade
and industrial outlook might contain
unpromising features not liked by the
influential financial interests with the
widest sources Of information The
yielding tendency of the time loan
market in the subsistence of demand
from borrowers is pointed out as
possible symptom of declining mercan-
tile activity.
