ST. PAUL, Jan. 14. Governor John A.
Johnson today received a long letter from
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad company. In which the
railway magnate deals exhaustively with
the various phases of the railroad prob
lem. Mr. Hill sets out at lengt'i what. In his
opinion. Is responsible for the existing sit
uation and what should be done to rem-
dy It.
The western country has grown so fast
that the railroads have been unable to
keep pace with It, Mr. Hill says, and he
believes the building of additional trackage
Is the best solution of the problem.
He says It would require a permanent
investment of $1,100,000,000 a year for five
years to provide the railroads of the
country with means to handle properly the
business already In sight and not allowing
tor future growth.
Text of the Letter.
Mr. Hill's letter follows In partt
"During recent years the volume of bus
iness has Increased and Is increasing with
extraordinary rapidity, while ths necessary
additional trackage and terminals have not
been equal to the demands upon them. The
resulting situation . Is a freight blockade
of enormous proportions, especially at all
terminal points. How to remedy this Is a
problem, financial, mechanical and physical.
No time should be lost In applying such
measures of remedy as may be possible."
The following figures, compiled from the
official reports of the Interstate Commerce
commission and covering the growth ot the
railroad business for the last ten years, ex
hibit the significant facts:
Total single-track mileage In 1K9G. 180,667:
in 19U5, Z18.101; Increase, 21 per cent.
Locomotives In 1895, 35,699; In 1906, 48,357;
Increase, 35 per cent.
Passenger cumin 1895, 33,112; In JW6, 40,713;
Increase, 23 per cent.
Freight cars in 1895, 1,196,119; in 1906,
1,731,409; increase, 45 per cent.
Pasuenger mileage In 1895, 12.188,446,271; In
19U6, 23.800,149,436; increase, 95 per cent.
r reignt ton mile in ltn, 85,ar(,bib,Ki; in
1905. 166,43,109,610; increase, 118 per cent.
unese ngures snow the cause vl delay in
natural traffic movement which threatens to
bring Industry to a standstill.
Equipment is being Increased as rapidly
capital and labor can do It. There are
and will be cars enough to carry the coun
try's traffic if the cars can be moved, but
engines and cars mutt have tracks on which
they may run. The limit of service of a
common carrier has been reached when It
nas moving at all times over its system
aa many cars as can be run on Its tracks
with safety and transferred and dispatched
from its terminals and Junction points with
out unreasonable delay. Beyond that point
Increase of business cannot be handled by
increasing cars and engines. The disparity
between the arowth of traffic and th ad
ditions to railroad mileage, and the exten
sion of terminals, shown by new mlUage
ot less man I per cent a year since 19i4,
to take care of a traffic Increase averaging
11 per cent a year for ten years past, pre
sents and explains the real problem. The
best judgment of many conservative rail
road men In the countrv is that an Imme
diate addition of not less than 6 per cent
per annum to the railroad trackaen of the
country for, say. Ave years, should be made
to relieve tne suuation ana put an end to
unreasonable delays. Investigations show
that the railroads of the countrv have been
endeavoring to meet the growing deimnd
on them. Not only were there 35 rer rent
more locomotives ana 46 per cent more cars
In service in 1906 tjian In 1895, but each en-
glne and car did much more work. Train
run raster, cars are larger, loeortvottvFs o
more powerful and methods of handling .ne
business have so Improved as to Incieuse
the general efficiency.
No addition to equipment and no Increased
efficiency In operation can take the phree of
wie imperatively required new trackage and
terminal fiiclllrlits Th
as rapidly as It can be bulft, additional
fcruKa miu terminal laciuiies.'
Vast Amount of Capital Needed.
No practical man would accept a con
tract for furnishing the facilities required,
including additional equipment and termi
nal facilities, for less than $76,000 a mile.
The question ot terminals alone Is almost
prohibitive. Terminals on the Great North
ern were acquired when property was
cheap and can be enlarged only by heavy
outlay. In many cities it Is not even a
question of cost, since the area necessary
to handle railroad business properly is not

twice the total amount of the bonded debt
of the United States after the close of the
civil war. It is more than twice the entire
currency In circulation In the countrv and
only a little less than twice the deposits
In all the savings banks In the United
States put together.
The average speed of a freight train is
from twelve to fifteen miles an hour. The
average distance traveled bv each freight
car is about twenty-five miles a dav. That
is. the entire freight equipment 'of the
country Is employed to the fair limit of its
capnclty except- two hours out of the
twenty-four. On single track linea freights
must wolt on sidings while passenger
trains have the right of way. Cars stand
for days or weeks in yards or at transfer
points awaiting their turn.
The pressure of traffic Increases In a
constant progression. It has reached Its
greatest severity Just at the time when
railroad construction Is at the lowest ebb
The number of nassenzer mlloa invjJ
In this country for each mile of railroad
In It has Increased 30 per cent In five years

nignest direction and the best economy Is
to have trackage equipment and other
facilities properly adjusted to the vnh,.
of business and then keep moving it In
a harmonious and useful way.
Problems of Labor and Material.
The problem and necessity are enormous

cona ui sieei raua every year to
furnish the 1.500 milea of track required
This is nearly two-thirda of the product

quuntbtles and at more reasonable prices.

Says Investors Are Scared.
It Is not by accident that railroad build

generation at the very time when all other
forma of activity have been growing moat
rapidly. The Inveator decllnos to put hla
money Into enterprise under ban of un

There must be a realisation by the
country of the embargo on buslnesa and
of the fact that the cause la insufficient

CONDUCT OF TROOPS
(Continued from First Page.)
snd moreover, the bullets picked out of the
buildings show the marking of the four so.
called "lands" which come from being
fired through the Springfield, but not
through the Winchester, the latter showing
six.
The bullets whtrh I herewith submit,
which were found In the houses, could not
therefore have been fired from a Win
chester nr any other sporting rifle, although
the csrtrldgrs might have been put into a
Winchester model of 1. The bullets
mlRht have been flred from a Krsg. but
the cartridges would not have gone Into
a Krng. Taking the shells end the bullets
together, the proof Is conclusive that the
new Springfield rifle was the weapon used
by the midnight Assassins and could not
by any possibility have been any other rifle
of any kind In the world. This of Itself
establishes the fact that the assailants
were United States soldiers and would be
conclusive on these points if not one sol
dier had been seen or heard by any resi
dents In Brownsville en the night In ques
tion, and If nothing were known save the
finding of the shells, clips and bullets.
Testimony of Witnesses.
Fourteen eyewitnesses, namely, Charloa
R. Chase, Amado Martinet, Mrs. Kate
Leahy, Palermo Preciiido, Ynaclo Domln
guez, Maccdnnio Hamlres, George W. Hen
dall, Jose Martinet, J. P. McDonald, F.
H. A, Sanborn, Herbert Elklns, Hale Odin,
Mrs. Hale Odin and Judge Parks, testltled
that they saw the assailants, or some of
them, at varying distances and that they
were negro troops, most of the witneses
giving their testimony in such shape that
there is no possibility of their having been
mistaken. Two other witnesses, Joseph
Bodln and Genero Padron, saw some ot
the assailants and testified that they were
soldiers (the only soldiers In the neighbor
hood being the colored troops). Four other
witnesses, namely, S. C. Moore, Dr. Thorn,
Charles S. Canada and Charles T. Ham
mond, testified to hearing the shooting
and hearing the voices of the men who
were doing It, and that these voices were
those of negroes, but did not actually see
the men who were doing the shooting.
About twenty-five other witnesses gave
testimony corroborating to a greater or
less degree the testimony of those who
saw the shooters or heard them. The testi
mony of these eyes of ear witnesses would
establish beyond all possibility of contra
diction the fact , that the shooting was
committed by ten or fifteen or more of the
testimony of theirs would be amply suffl
negro troops from the garrison, and this
clent in Itself if not a cartridge or a bullet
had been found, exactly ss the bullet;
and cartridges that were found would have
established the guilt of the troops even
had not a single eyewitness seen them or
other witnesses heard them.
The testimony of the witnesses on the
position of the bullet holes show that
fifteen or twenty of the negro troops gath
ered Inside the fort and that the first
shots fired Into the town were fired from
within the fort, some of them, at least,
from the unner galleries of the barracks.
The testimony further snows that the
troops then came out over the walls, some
of them Dcrhaoa going through the gate
and advanced a distance of 800 yards or
thereabouts Into the town. During their
advance they shot in two hotels and some
nine or ten other houses. Three of the
private houses into which they fired con

The examination or Mr. Purdy, assistant
to the attorney general resulted merely
in strenghtening the reports already mude
bv the reaular armV authorities. The
shooting, it appears, i occupied about ten
minutes, although it may have been some
minutes more or less. It is out of the
Question that the fifteen or twenty men
engaged In the assault could have gath

firing, some of them on the porches of the
barracks, gone out into the .town, fired in
the neighborhood of 200 shots in the town
and then returned the total time occupied
from the time of ths ttrat shot to the lime
of their return being somewhere In the

Additional Evidence Concloalve.
The additional evidence thus taken
renderB, it In my opinion impossible to
question the conclusions upon which my
order was based. 1 have gone moat care
fully over every Issue of law and fact that
has been raised. 1 am now satisfied that
the effect of my order dlamissing theae men
without honor was not to bar them from all
civil employment under the government
and therefore that the port of the order,
which consisted of a declaration to this
effect was lacking In 'validity, and I have
directed that such portion he revoked. As
to the rest oi the order, dismissing tne in
dividuals in question without honor and
declaring the effect of such discharge under
the law and regulations to be a bar to
their future re-enlistment either In the
army or the navy, there la no doubt of
my constitutional and legal power. The
order was within my discretion, under the
constitution and the laws and cannot be
reviewed or reveraed save by another exe
cutive order. The facts did not merely war
rant the action I took they rendered such
action imperative unless I was to prove
false to my sworn duty.
If anv one of the men discharged here
after shows to my satisfaction that he Is
clear of guilt or of shielding tne guilty, l
will take what action is warranted: but
the cli cumatancea I have above detailed
muat certainly put upon any such man
the burden of thus clearing himself.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Jon. 14.-"In thlrty-
flvs years I have not known of such se
vere weather conditions to prevail In North
Dakota and other points west of St. Paul
as exist today," said President J. J. Hill
to the Associated Press today. "The snow
on the level out there Is from three to
four feet deep. Men cannot walk on It
ithout snowshoes. In some places the
snow Is ten to twenty-live feet deep.
We have from l.ano to 1.600 men work

but part of the time the weather has been
so cold that men could not work."
SENATE DISCUSSES MESSAGE
(Continued from First Page.)
soldiers, who wanted their uniforms and
brass buttons to help them with the girls."
Mr. Bacon said he thought both the sen
ator and the president had done right.
Senator Spooner remarked that he pre
sumed this South Carolina company was a
white company; "otherwise," he said, "the
senator would have had them lynched."
Mr. Spooner said he would have a great
contempt for himself If he could not discuss
the questions involved without reference
to the color of the soldiers. It was, he said,
only legal questions that could be Involved.
Mr. Spooner denounced the criticism which
had been made of the Twenty-fifth regi
ment, both In the letter of Senator Cul
berson protesting against sending the negro
troops to Brownsville and by Senator Till
man.
Senate Without Authority.
Mr Spooner took the ground that It was
not the function of the senate to Investi
gate the act of the president in his execu
tlve capacity. Peculiar functions had been
Imposed upon the house of representatives,
It alone could initiate, prepare and preent
Impeachment proceedings. The senate. In
the exercise cf its most solemn function.
was constituted the court in such cases.
iThls. he said, was simply an abstraction
In this case. He called attention . to the
serious- condition. If the senate, as a court
should find Itself "prejudged," having In
vestigated the cause In advance. Assuming
that the president had exercised a power
he possessed in discharging these soldiers,
Mr. Spooner denied that congress had any
constitutional power to set aside such an
order.
The ppwer of the president as com
mander-ln-chlef of the army and navy
In time of peace was not defined by the
constitution. Mr. Spooner quoted Judicial
authorities to show that it was "the power
to command and control."
"He commands the army," he added.
"and an army without discipline Is a
mob, a menace and dangeipus 6 the peo
ple." ' r; -
Mr. Spooner expressed doubt, that .con
gress could pass a law removing the die
ability of these particular men to re
enlist.
There was a partnership between the
president and congress, said Mr. Spooner.
Congress makes rules and the president
makes orders. Twice, years ago, the ex
ecutive had attempted to make rules. In
one case Attorney General Cushlng and
In the other Attorney Bates overruled the
executive rules which conflicted with leg
(station.
Baron Takes Exception.
Mr. Bacon took Issue on this point and
held that If Mr. Spooner should, be fol
lowed the entire legislative authority
might be chipped away. The constitution
he said, gave congress power to make
rules and regulations for the "govern
ment" of the land and naval forces. Thla
word "government," he said, comprehended
complete control.
Mr. Spooner held that this view abol
ished all functions of the commander-in-chief.
In opposition to this contention
Mr. Bacon maintained that the evident
purpose of the framers of the constitution
was to take away from any one man the
power to "wield" an army.
Mr. Bacon remarked Incidentally that In
all his experience in the senate ho had
never heard a doctrine advanced which h
regarded as more dangerous, than the
suggestion that the president has any
power In the use of the army that cannot
be controlled by the lawmaking power.
Mr. Spooner then yielded the floor for ad
journment, not having finished his argu
ment. J
