MARITAL LAW
NOW LIFTED
Removal Of Negro Rioters And Other
Soldiers Brings Relief to the
Scene Of Outbreak

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. s.
Though Houston generally breathed
distinct relief tonight that martial
law will end tomorrow and that the
rioting negroes of the Twenty-fourth
infantry are no longer in a position
to cause further trouble, county Of
ficials expressed resentment that the
men should have been taken from
their authority.
"The fact that they were removed
to Columbus, N. NJ, does not mean
that we will not ultimately take a
hand in their punishment" said Dis
trict Attorney John H. Crooker.
Evidence of the intention of the
local officials not to let the matter
drop with the departure of the color
ed infantrymen for Columbus was
contained this afternoon in the ac-
tion of the Harris county grand jury,
which retained murder indictments
against the thirty-four and six others
who had not been arrested.
Thousands today paid special tri-
butte to Captain J. w. Mates when
his casket, placed on truck and
mantled by the colors, was taken to
the station to be sent to Chicago. Cap
tain Mates was shot down as he ap-
reached the scene of the disturbance
in a police officers automobile.
Indications are that there will be
no more deaths as a result of the
shooting and that the total casualties
will stand as they were yesterday
counted, seventeen dead and twenty
one wounded.
Colonel George o. Cress, inspector
general of the Southern department,
arrived today and began to take data
on the shooting.
A tour of the city and conferences
with General Hulen and others quick
luy convinced General Bell that the
additional troops rushed here from
Fort Sam Houston. at San Antonio,
and Fort Crockett, at Galveston, were
no longer needed. They were sent
back to their stations this afternoon.

The senate today again defeated the

KAISER SINGS
HYMN Of HATE
Emperor Tells Soldiers Arch Enemy
of Germany Must be Beaten at
Whatever Cost

COPENHAGEN, Sept. S-England,
the arch enemy of Germany, must be
beaten down at whatever cost, En-
peror William told his troops while
on visit to the Flanders front on
Wednesday. An official statement is
sued in Berlin says the emperor ad-
dressed deputations from all detach-
ments which have had a share in
meeting the British attacks. He said
he felt impelled to express thanks and
full recognition of the heroic gallan-
try shown by troops from all parts of
Germany n the hard fighting of last
week. The emperor referred to the
contrast between the German and An
glo-French points of view and con-
tinued:
ut is in Gods hands when in His
wisdom He will give us victory. He
has taught our army hard lesson
and now we are going to pass the
examination. With the old German
confidence God we shall show what
we can do. The greater and mightier
the problem the more gladly we shall
grapple with it and solve it. We shall
fight apd conquer until the enemy
has had enough Of these struggles.
All Germans have realized who is
the instigator of this war and who
Is the chief enemy-England. Every
one knows England is our most
spiteful adversary. She spreads the
hatred of Germany over the world,
filling her allies with hatred and eag-
erness to fight. Thus everyone at
home knows what you know still bet
ter. that England is particularly the
enemy to be struck down, however
difficult it may be. Your relatives at
home who. too. have made great sac
rifices. thank you through me.
"A difficult struggle lies ahead of
us. England, proud Of her stubborn
resistance, believes in her invincibil-
ity, but you will show that you can
achieve still greater things. for the
prize of the war is the German peo-
pies freedom to 1ive-freedom at
sea and freedom at home. With Gods
help we shall see the struggle thru
and be victorious"
