CoIorsd Major Nay
Cause Complications

WASHINGTON, d. C., March 1s.
"A serious complication arising out
of the race question is anticipated
by army officers when the amend
ments to the so-called army "Manchu"
law become effective. Major Chas.
Young of the Ninth Cavalry, colored
man, is the complication. According
to the "manchu" amendments, Young
and every other army officer will
have to serve four years Of every six
with troops in the field, In Young's
case this will entail his occupying
a majors quarters il. various bar
racks. Usually such quarters are con-
tanned in one of row " three houses
provided for those Of a majors rank.
Thus far the war department has
succeeded in giving Young, who is a
West Point graduate, various de-
tached details, thus preventing any
breach because of his close association
in barraks with other officers. But
these detached detail 1itl not be pos
sible under the Manchu law amend
ments.
Thus far the race question has not
been a serious one in the army, owing
to the organization of white and
colored regiments, yet officers at a
post are thrown so constantly in each
Others company-particula those
of the same rank-that disposition of
Young is vital question.
1t is gossip here that previous at
tempts to "get" Young have failed.
He has passed all examinations with
flying colors, is first-class officer
and fighting man and just simply
can't be ousted. AS matter of fact
army officers are rather proud of
HMM an official way.
They say he has never attempted
nor sought social advantage from his
rank, has never attempted to "break"
into post affairs and mix with brother
officers. But they feel it would be
infinitely embarrassing, with his ma
jor's rank, to have even man of
Young's type in barracks. An army
officer here is authority for the fol-
lowing tribute of Young's discretion.
"Army etiquette requires that all
officers at post make a call on Il
new conner, an officer, at the earliest
moment after his arrival. Major
Young, who was stationed at post
where | was, waited as long as pos
sible, and then having ascertained be-
yond a doubt that the new officer
was not at home, called and. left
his card, 1t goes to show Young's
appreciation of his position.

CHICAGO, March 1s.-Use of uni
form warning signs at all railroad
crossings in the United States was
on of the topics to be discussed at
the meeting of the American Railway
Equipment association. which opened
three day session here today.
Automobile clubs have complained
that the use of different designs by
different roads and in different To-
calities caused confusion in the minds
of the drivers, who were unable to
tell whether the sign is warning
on a railroad crossing or something
else. Announcement was made that
the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road is erecting warning signs 400
feet from all grade crossings. Other
subjects relative to roadways, bridges
track construction and the handling
of freight by mechanical devices,
were on the program.

"leaks' are Cause
Of Senator's Worry

United Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1s
The United States senate is peeved
with itself. The annual rumpus about
"leaks" at to happenings in executing
sessions has just been staged. There
was a grave debate about the matter
the other day.
The question of leaks" from the
executive sessions has been perennial
ever since there was a senate. A
humorist here is credited with the
epigram that the only reason the SEN
ate adjourns its secret sessions is in
order that members may have an OPP
portunity to talk the session over with
the newspaper men. The writer re-
calls wildly how a number of years
ago the late Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, made an impassioned and in
dignant appeal to senators not to
talk about executive sessions--re-
ferring to piece of news which Hey
burn himself had given the writer
following Secret" session. Hey
burn was perfectly honest about his
protest--he didn't realize that he had
let the news slip--but his is the at
titude of most of the senator's. Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, Is
however, ''wise" to the newspaper
boys.
'These correspondents are trained
men," he told the senate. "They
get point from one senator, point
from another and then piece it to-
gether. They talk with senators about
public questions and gain their point
of view. Then, with the fragmeu-
tary pieces of information, they are
able to put together plausible
story
Reverting to Heyburn's protest
again: the Idaho senator made his
protest in open session and then when
the senate got down to executive
business, he got up and talked some
more bitter language. A newspaper
correspondent with sense of humor
made it his business to gather the
gist of Heyburn's speech in the ex-
ecutive session and the next morning
the Idaho solon was astounded to
note that his speech was reported in
full. Then he made his famous speech
recommending that the senate press
gallery be abolished.
Senator Kern is the man most OK
ercised now by the leaks. He hes
introduced a resolution demanding an
investigation by the senate foreign
relations committee Of how the news
papers get their information. Other
senators favor making it crime for
a newspaper to print news of hap
penings in executive sessions, .-
