WANTS NO ARMY BAR
TO COLORED SOLDIERS
Secretary Baker Cites Bravery in
Warfare and Would Not Pre-
vent Their Enlistment.

According to Secretary Baker, the
War Department is opposed to legisla-
ton that would prevent the further en-
listment of colored men in the military
service of the army. That fact is dis
closed in correspondence just made
public between Senator Taggart of In
diana and the Secretary of War.
The Indiana senator sent to the War
Department a copy of bill introduced
in Congress to prohibit the enlistment
of colored. men in the army. He asked
for the views of the Secretary OF War
on the subject. Senator Taggart said
he was opposed to the bill, and express
ed the hope that 1t did not meet the
approval of the department.
Secretary Baker replied:
"Those who are familiar with the his
tory of our country from the armies
organized by George Washington, IN
the American revolution, down to the
present day, know that brave and often
conspicuously gallant service has been
rendered by colored troops In the most
recent instance, at Carrizal, In Mexico,
these colored troops conducted them
selves with the greatest intrepidity, and
reflected nothing but honor upon the
uniform they wore"

democratic party, and that government
places are filled by the appointment OF
sons, sons-in-law. stepsons, nfeces,
nephews, grandchildren and every other
known form of kinship.

ASKS SENATOR SHERMAN
TO MAKE A CORRECTION

Facts About Convict's Death
on Texas Plantation.

The correction Of false Impressions" is
asked by Postmaster General Burleson
in a letter he has written to Senator
Sherman Of Illinois concerning a state
ment made by the senator in the SEN
ate last week.
Senator Sherman read from a Texas
newspaper Of 1909 to show that Mr.. Bur-

and declared that the foreman Of the
ranch. after being acquitted of the
charge Of causing the death Of a negro

that he was part owner of plantation
which the state itself leased and oper-
ated; that the foreman referred to was
the plantation superintendent employed
by the state, who was acquitted of a
charge believed to have been made for
political purposes, and who was appointed
postmaster with the acquiesence Of the
representative from his district. The
