NEGRO TROOPS REMOVED
Blacks Refuse to Obey Texas Jim Crow Laws-Ordered to
 Duty on Desert.

Washington, April 5.-President Taft was prompt to remove the negro Ninth cavalry from the division camp at San Antonio in order to avert the possibil- ity of a repetition of the affair of the Twenty fifth infantry at Brownsville in 1906.
 Negro troopers had resented the eff forts to enforce the Jim Crow laws requiring them to sit in seats in cars provided for negroes. Several times they tore down signs designating seats for white and negro passengers, and set upon conductors, beating them severely.
 The president, after hearing the complaints, directed orders relieving the ninth from further service in the divisional brigade of cavalry at San Antonio, and sending the regiment to duty patrolling the Mexican border as far out in the desert as possible.

WILL BE sHOT FOR CHIME
YOUTH CONVICTED OF MURDER
 TO FACE FIRING SQUAD.
Method Used in Legal Execution in Utah-WiIl Be Strapped in
 Chair and BIindfolded.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April b. While strapped to chair and blind folded and facing five rifles, Julius Sirmay will be shot May for the murder of a schoolboy, unless an ap- peal stays his execution. When con victed the slayer was allowed to choose either hanging or shooting as ing. The Utah law provides the privilege of choosing either shooting or hanging.
 While five men are selected for the shooting, only four have loaded rifles, leaving each to hope in after years that his was the empty one. They stand behind a sheet swung over the double doorway of the blacksmith shop in the state prison yard. The prisoner is seated in chair 20 feet in front of the executioners and facing the rifles, the muzzles of which are poked through holes in the sheet just large nough for the marksmen to sight the murderer.
 The doomed man is strapped to his chair and blindfolded, and a physician indicates the position of the heart by pinning piece of paper on the mans body. Usually death comes quickly.
 Sirmay was convicted of killing Thomas H. Karrick october 12, 1910. The slayer is Hungarian, 24 years old. The boy was shot when he en- countered a burglar in his home.
