General George Bell, Jr., 1nvestiga-
ton of the shooting which caused
the death of seventeen persons is
expected to begin.
Tension Lessened
The departure of the battalion for
Columbus, n. NJ, early to-day ap-
preciably lessened the tension in
Houston, although from the hour the
authorities took firm hold of the
situation there had been little fear
OF any serious trouble.
Major K. S. Snow did not accom-
pany the battalion as he has been
detailed as major to the National
Army at Little Rock, Ark. He said
that while no charges had yet been
preferred against the more than 100
men who marched through the San
Felipe district shooting at random,
they might be very serious"
There was shooting in the camp
before the men marched to the city
he said, and he pointed to bullet
hole in the frame of a shack az
proof. This shooting was indiscrim-
mate, however, the major said, and
he did not believe any of the bullets
were directed at him. He was un-
armed as he went among the ne
groes commanding them to remain
quiet.
Take Precaution
Every precaution was taken to
avoid any trouble as departure was
made. The chief fear of the authori-
ties was that some one might at
tempt to interfere at the last mo-
ment. AS a result the vigilance of
the white guard around the camp
and the soldiers and civilians who
patrolled the streets was strained to
thn .tfr With Of a
Nineteenth Infantry from Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio, and $50 reg
ulars from Fort Crockett, Calves
ton. on hand protection was thought
to be adequate.
The first step taken by the local
authorities following General Bells
arrival will be to give him the state
ments gathered from Privates James
Bivins, Risley Young and Leroy
Crooker.
Ringleadcr Dead
These agree in declarations that
Sergeant Vida Henry, who lost his
life in the disturbance was the ring
leader. They say he formed the
company in line, led it from camp,
issued orders and threw out rear
and point flank guards for protec-
ton.
All tne statements conIOrmeu In
the declaration that there was no
drinking and that the trouble be-
gan over a report that Corporal Bal
timore, of Company l, had been shot
by mounted officers.
The body of Captain Joseph w.
Mattes, Battery A, Second Illinois
Field Artillery, who was killed while
riding with a police officer to the
scene of the shooting, was sent to his
relatives in Illinois to-day.
All but three of the men who took
part in the shooting have been ac-
counted for.

Pennsylvania branch of the army.
John X. Clement is major of the
Eighteenth Infantry. at Pittsburgh; !;
Charles +. Clement, a major of cav
airy, assigned to command the mill
tary police, and Theron b. Clement,
second lieutenant in the quarter
master corps, assigned as division
headquarters pay clerk.
General Clement is active. too. To
see him at work at Headquarters
directing the arrangements for the
movements of the large body of
Pennsylvania troops makes one won
der how he does it all. First he
writes telegram; then he is die
tating to his private secretry; this
is broken off by an officers call or
the telephone. Back he goes to die
tating or is again interrupted by
some other outside business. No
matter how numerous are his duties
his temper is never ruffled. He is
always the alert, courteous officer.
He is quick in judgment, rapid in
answering questions and alive to the
needs of his official duties. Back of
it all one sees the action of the
trained military master mind, and
then knows why he's at the top. It's
because the mans a genius, nothing
more or less.
Generl Clement has a human side,
too. He is never too busy to stop
along the street, pat pretty baby
on the cheek, or talk to one of his
legion of boy friends. With that he
is always dignified, military looking,
and carries his years like a boy of
twenty-onc. A lover of animals, he
will stop on the street to watch a
good horse or talk to a dog, and he's
as good n horseman as there is in
the division, sticking to it day in
and day out.
Recently a big army truck broke
boys bicycle. No matter who was
at fault, the boy got an audience and
new bicycle, and the boy did not
have to pay for it. General Clement
has fine home here, a happy family
of four grown boys, all graduates of
Trinity College. and a devoted wife.
To see him talking to his sons, like
boys cumming with each other,
does ones heart good. and is a fine
example of the human side of the
leader of the states soldiers, his
friends say.

GERMAN LEADERS
SPLIT ON PLAN
FOR ENDING WAR.
Chancellor Michaelis Under
Fire For His Ambiguous
Statements
By Associated Press

Copenhagen. Aug. 25.-Y esterdayt
session of the main committee of thu
Reichstag was productive of further
declarations and discussions regard
ing Chancellor Michaelis attitude or
peace which the latest German pa
pers construe variously. A careful
perusal of the mass of reports ane
comments on the committee meet
ings yesterday and Wednesday show
that DR.. Michaelis throughout con,
ferences with party leaders did no
change his attitude regarding TIL,
wording of his analogous speech o.
July 10, and the situation as fal
as pinning him down to any definit,
peace program remains eXactl!
where 1T was when he assumed office
1t was brought out in the repor
of yesterdays proceedings that tn,
majority party representatives en-,
deavored before the Reichstag meet
ing, July 10, to secure from him
definite assurances but failed.
Herr Erzberger, the Centrist lead,
er, alone declared in yesterdays com
mittee sitting that doubt as to tn,
chancellor's acceptance of the prin,
ciples of peace without annexationl
and indemnities now had been elimi
mated for good. All other view
ranged from mild doubt and opel
skeptcism to fiat denial. Vorwaerts
the Socialist organ, is inclined to givl
the chancellor the benefit of tn,
doubt but demands that he defent
his political integrity and good faitl
against pan-German machinationl
by plain and unequivocal Statement
that he does not hold ideas of annex
alton and conquest which these ele,
ments attribute to him.
The Berlin Tageblatt says the cris
is is only adjourned. Herr Hauss
mann, Radical member of the Reich,
stag, declared in speech in tn,
committee yesterday that the chan
cellor had introduced elements o
doubt and uncertainty into the inter
probation of the Reichstag resolu
ton; had allowed the conservative
to claim him as their own mai
without word of protest, and tha
he had done nothing to shake off tn,
assertion of the pan-Germans tha
he is playing a false game in politics
The chancellor on Wednesday az
on the day when he assumed offic,
demanded elbow room for peace ne
gotiations but the majority leader
then as now declared expressly tha
there could be no question of sucl
elbow room and that peace must bI
made on the basis specified in TIL,
resolution. DIR. Michaelis was warn
ed of the danger of departing there
from.

MEETS THE POET
EDWIN MARKHAM
Miss Booker Tells Interest
ingly of Visit to Home of
Distinguished American

Miss Lois Kamerlin Booker, of
$50 Maciay street. successful
teacher in the city schools Is jus,
home from her vacation spent In
New York city, where she COM
pleted n summer course In Columbia
University.
Her work in literature included
an Advanced Course in Story Tell
ing, or which program making and
giving was feature. BY request
she told an original story at the
annual state reception given by the
PENNSYLVANIA students who mum
bered over two hundred this season.
In an interview last evening, Miss
Booker said:
"An afternoon at the home of
the great Social. American Poet, Ed
win Markham, wns a memorable
event. DR.. Martha Foote Crow,
Adviser for Poetry, in the National
Federation of Women's Clubs ex-
tended the invitation.
The home of the Markhams is a
cozy cottage in the shelter of fine
old trees on Staten Island. With the
Markhams, who are but three, ten
thousand volumes lining walls and
shelves, also extended greetings. A
genuine home feeling prevaded the
place, due to Mrs. Markham's
natural gift of hospitality.
She introduced the great poet
with real pleasure. His face was
radiant with love for the world, as
he talked of the need of Soul Cul-
ture' in the education of the child,
and read beautiful sonnets, recently
composed, from big, black, leather
bound book.
Then. said she, his kindly pene-
trating brown eyes took fire as he
denounced the land monopoly in
Russia. Would you like to hear nv
poem, Russia Arise!"? he inquired
1t was read ten years ago in the
streets of Petrograd by Ivan Irodni,
and reused such feelings of insur-
rection that he was imprisoned for
fifteen months.
Has Wonderful Voice
Giving himself up to the mastery
of his own thought, the poet shared
his vision in eloquent look, vice and
manner. His voice was clear and
musical, as the revolutionary feeling
grew stronger, his tones deepened
in sonorous, rythmical quality, until
the listeners themselves were Rus
sian SUBJECTS, being fired by the
prophetic challenging voice of an
American"
Miss Booker says the great poet
was pleased as a child at the ap-
spersed the conversation with quaint
probation expressed, and inter-
humor and gallantry.
He also gave the inspired poem,
France in Battle Flame" that he
was called to Washington to de-
liver before the French War Com
mission.
As he waved farewell to his guests,
Edwin Markham left the visual i'm
preston of a living reality of Rodin's
sculpturing, and even in these omi-
nous days of war. their thought
was frightened through his "un-
Quenchable faith" in the ultimate
triumph of civilization.
