The people ought not to be deceived by any misunderstanding on this subject. Publlo sentiment should always stand by the chief executive and commander-in-chief of tha. army when he Is clear In his great office, and In this case t think he Is clear." Senator Daniel did not, however, endorse the position of tho president In forever de barring from entering the civil service the men discharged from the army. "I think In that respect," he said, "the arrow from his bow went too far." ' . Mr. Daniel analysed the articles of war and army regulations to sustain his con clusion that the power to dismiss Is equal and conclusive In tha president, the secre tary of war, the commander of a depart ment and a court martial. Said he: "No people have ever been able to make ag gressive or defensive war without pursuing It through ' the discipline' and organisation of armies by putting power Into the hands of those who command them." . , Referring to the ' army regulations Mr. Daniel said they we're made by' the presi dent,' "and," ha continued, "whatever other criticism has been made upon the present president from the republican side of this chamber none have ever Intimated that he Is engaged In seeking to curtail his own power. In fact.' some have delicately In timated that he was seeking to extend It beyond the Unas wbloh they would pre scribe as legitimate and proper.; Mr. Daniel denied that the race question waa Involved, "and," he exclaimed, "may God forbid that the people of the United States shall raise racial Questions when It Is possible to avoid them." He proceeded: "I have no particle of prejudice against the colored people. If I felt they had been unjustly dealt with In this cn there Js not a man on this floor more willing than I would be to defend them. But It Is not the color of a soldier's skin that gives him any right, and we should teach the col ored men of the United Statea even as we teach the white men that obedience to the law, whatever that law may be Is the first duty of a soldier, and the man who does not obey shall feel It power." If this had been a white company," Mr. Daniel said, "whether from Connecticut or Virginia, we would not have had public meetlnm on the subject, no sermons would have been preached, no church aroused arid diverted from their religious devotion." Oet all the evidence you can." he said. "but do not Impugn the president and the military law. To sustain the president Is not friendship for autocracy, It Is simply frtenrtVhlD for government. It Is respect for law." Senator Forxke asked tt-at the Browns ville resolution rr over until tomorrow and this order was mmle.

His text was taken from tha eon stltutlon of his state l "A recurrence to first principles Is absolutely necessary to the preservation - of our liberties." , ' The child, labor bills of Senators Lodgo and f!everidge were read by Mr. Overman with tha comment that tha effect of the enactment of either would not only be to so retch to the break In point the commerce clause cf the constitution, but would be an usurrtlcm cf rights of states Hants which the rieor4e rad expressly reserved to them selves when the tenth amfndrrmnt to the vnrtlutlon wsa adopted.

Ueved, "has grown with the Inordinate desire for the dollar, has Increased with the growth of commercialism, the build ing up of mighty fortunes, the central isation of great wealth In the hands of the few, produced by the great trusts and monopolies, many of which ware or ganised for the purpose of crushing out competition and which have been robbing the people of untol millions. "Ig," said the senator, "more power la needed, let an amendment be submitted to this senate. Let the people's consent be given to the surrender of their rights. Without their consent let nothing be done by an unwarranted construction." Mr. Overman held there waa no limit to the power of congress to deal with commerce which Is interstate In Its nature. He heartily Indorsed recent measures ex ercising this control, such as the rate bill, the pure food law and the meat Inspection regulation, but there was a decided dls tnctlon between regulating Interstate com merce and making regulations concerning commercial production. The mere fact that goods were manufactured In one state for transmission to another did not. In his opinion, make those goods subject of Interstate commerce. He concluded that If congress could reg ulate child labor In the factory and tha mine It could regulate It on the farm and could regulate the very detail of every Industry. PROCHEDIXG OK THE HOI HE Mr. Hall Explains Provisions of Army Appropriation Bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The house im mediately after the approval of the jour nal today began the consideration of the military appropriation bill. Chairman Hull began general debate by a compre hensive statement of the contents of the army budget, which carries I2.S00.000 more than last year. Other speeches were made by Mr. Slayden of Texas pn his bill to discontinue the enlistment of negroes In the army of the United Statea; by Mr. Zenor of Indiana against the ship subsidy bill and by Mr. Gaines of Tennessee, who spoke In commemoration of the ninety second anniversary fit the battle of New Orleans. Without finishing general dilate the house at 4:60 adjourned. Chairman Hull of the military affairs committee In opening tbe debate on the army appropriation bill today said the measure carried an Increase of a little over two and one-half million . dpllars over the total appropriation of last year, notwithstanding the utmost effort to keep the amount within that sum. Ha -thought It would bs impossible for the government to continue this arm of defense without in the near future showing a much larger increase. Mr. Hull said there already had been expended about 171.000.000 for coast forti fications, and ha said it was proposed to continue the expenditure unttl the amount reached aWiut 1116.000.000. He said the artillery branch of the army waa not suf ficient to give on shift to the guns al ready emplaced, the pay of the artillery not being sufficient to enable the govern ment to secure enlistments In that branch of the service. "This congress." Mr. Hull said, "should either Increase tha artillery arm and In crease the pay of skilled men of the roast artillery fir It should refuse from now on to appropriate one dollar for roast de fense." j Don't miss getting sorne of the genuine bargains at our S per cent nd S3H dis count aal. eon TUorne, UK Douglaa. PLOT TO KILL WD1TE OFFICERS Fztsnded Gosrpirsoy Among Negro Troops DiiooTtrta at Fott R?no. USPECTS Al fQUR 0TO FORTS Arrest of Several Meat DWeharfted In Disgrace Eineeted goon Corporal K Bowles Boaad Over to ' Grand Jory. EL RENO, Okl., Jan. 8,-Bellef of the army officers at Fort Reno that a con spiracy to murder every white officer at Fort Reno, beginning; with Captain Edgar A. Macklln against whom nearly every negro soldier at the post entertains a per sonal grudge as a result of the affair at Brownesvlile, Te.,' and the discharge of the negro soldiers that followed and then proceeding down the list of officers, became known today as a result of the preliminary hearing In the case of Edward L. Knowles, corporal of company A, Twenty-fifth In fantry, who was held on a charge of as sault with Intent to kill Captain Macklln of company C, Twenty-fifth Infantry, on the night of December 21'. Knowles was bound over to await the action of the Canadian county grand Jury at the open ing term of court. All of the officers now go heavily armed and protected throughout the night. Every effort has been hade by the officers at the post to keep the alleged, conspiracy a secrtt, but it Is learned that an Investi gation is now being conducted at several army posts and important places through out the country, and within a short tlmo several arrests of the members of the troop recently discharged In disgrace are ex pected to follow. Information was received here tonight that the arrest of a negro soldier has bern made at LaJunta, Colo., today. Suspicion rests upon negro soldiers at Fort Meade, 8. D., and at three other points. The ar rests of these men had been postponed until the hearing In the 'case of Corporal Knowles was concluded today at Fort Reno, when It was hoped that some further Information would be secured to Incrim inate other persons In this alleged con spiracy. SENATORS CONSIDER COMPROMISE Agreement to Omit Constitutional Questions from Brownsville Case. WASHINGTON, Jan. i.-Practlcally all of today was given over by senate leaders of both parties to an effort to bring about harmony between opposing views concern Ing the proposed investigation of the affray at Brownsville, Tex. What amounts to an agreement between Senators Foraker and Lodge' has been attained by their friends, but inasmuch as It was decided not to present the compromise until all of tho senators desiring to do so had made speeches on the subject of the dismissal of the negro troops It is not absolutely c-r-tain that the peace plans will not be upset. Tile compromise Is not greatly different from ths resolution presented by Senator Lodge and a similar one which Senator Foraker had Intended to offer for a sub stitute for his original resolution. It pro vides for the Investigation by the senate committee of military affairs as Browns ville and to this to be added provisions that a subcommittee be sent to Brownsville and that the expenses of the investigation be paid out of the contingent fund of the senate. Such a resolution would Ignore the constitutional' and legal questions that have been debated for several days. . Senator Lodge declares that he Is satis fied with the program and Senator Foraker says he Is not particular about phraseology so long as an Investigation la ordered and a committee sent to Brownsville ., to take testimony. The situation now is said to be the same as It ' was before the speech of Senator Lodge yesterday. Both sides were then agreed to leave out tha constitu tional questions and they had been Ignored in the substitute offered by Senator Lodge. Unlefcs the speeches yet to be made create resentment on one side or the other, it Is believed the compromise will be effective. DIAMONDS Frenser, 15th and Dodge. RIPLEY ON THE STAND (Continued from First Page.) ments and that the financial side of the question will not be taken up. Pronty Offers Criticism. ' Mr. Dawes contended that the advance In cattle rates was justified by ' excessive amounts of damages paid to cattle ship pers. Mr. Cowan asked for the amount of dam ages paid by the Burlington. Mr. Dawes said he did not have it and that the Bur lington road had not kept its books in such a manner as to , render the figures available. "You come here and justify advanced rates." said Commissioner Prouty, "by claiming payments of damages, and yet decline to aay what those damages are. That Is hardly fair. If you have not kept' your books as you should that does not alter the facts, in this ,case'V , "Perhaps not," said Mr. Dawes, "but we have not so .Kept our books.'.' Tha matter; waa finally settled by the statement of Mr. Dawes that the damages on the Burlington line did not exceed those on the Santa Fe road and he would accept the average figures given by . that line as being representative of . conditions on the Burlington. " , J. W. Ktndrlck, vice president of ths Santa Fe road, was the next witness.' He declared that he considered the present rate on cattle from Texas to be "unrea sonably low," The evidence of Vice President Kendrlck did not develop anything material, and he was followed by General Manager Turner of the Pecos Valley division of the Santa F road. He declared that the road han dled no class of dead freight that did not pay better than the handling of live stock at present rates. - Hearing of the' Texas live stock matter was continued at the afternoon session. The evidence related chiefly to statistics of cattle receipts at the stock yards in this city. It waa shown by Statistician Horlne of the stock yer0a that the time for handling stock shipments at the yards has been decreased within the last few years and that such decrease haa lessened the expenses of ths railroads at tho sto . k yards' terminals. Gonial on Car Shortage. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 8. George J. Gould, head of the Gould railroad system. Is quoted today on the car shortage problem as follows: r The car shortage Is not altogether the fault of the railroads. The big car users are partly responsible - in- not preparing loading' and unloading facilities hi propor tion to their business. - Merchants and shippers have failed to take account of the increase, by many times, of the amount lu buainexs handled by them. This Is what the railroad man has to contend with in Pittsburg, Chicago and manufacturing sec tions, and it applies as well to New Or leans in a lesser degree. The general pros perity of the country Is to blame as well as tha growth of new sections. . Scot' Stlllasan to Testify. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. It wa Jearned that Jacob H. Schlff, James Stlllman and D. O.
