KNOX Thinks She Can Identify Ono Brownsvillo FIRING ONLY 40 FEET AWAY General Crosier Says Army Rifles Could Have Been -Cleaned In Less Than Six Minutes.

Washington, June 6. Mrs. Emma Leahy, proprietor of the Leahy Hotel, in Brownsville, Texas, told the Senate Committee Military Affairs today that 6he believed she could identify one of the for mer negro soldiers as a member of ths group that shot up the town. After hearing firing at the garrison and seeing the flashes of guns, she that she saw 16 men in khaki uniforms in rue Cowan alley shooting into the Cowan bouse. She was a window of her hotel, about 40 feet away, and two of the men looked up while she was watching them.

Just at that moment several shots were fired by members of the group and she said she saw the two men distinctly. One was very black and the other a mulatto. The latter had large spots on his face and she is sure she could recognize him If she should see him The description of this man tallies with' the appearanace of a soldier of Company who was one of the men involved in the trouble with Mr. Tait, a customs inspector. A subpoena was issued for him at the beginning of the Senate Investigation, but he has not been found.

Mrs. Leahy testified at length concerning the shooting, Brigadier-General Crosier. Chief of Ord-nace of the gave the Senate Committee expert testimony concerning the shells and bullets secured in Brownsville as evidence against the negro soldiers charged with "shooting up" the town. He also testified concerning the length of time required to clean army rifles after they had been fired several times. The latter testimony contradicts nearly all of the former negro soldiers who were put on the stand by Senator Foraker in that It was shown that six minutes was the maximum time required in nearly a dosen tests.

In one of the tests a gun was cleaned in less than one minute. From the microscopical examination of bullets and shells picked up in Brownsville, General Crozier said that none of these could, have been fired from a Remington, Winchester or Mauser, but from the bullets alone it was impossible to say whether they had been fired from a Krag'or Springfield. He said, however, that if the bullets taken from the walls had been discharged from cartridges picked up in the street the combination of the two circumstances showed conclusively that they must have been fired by the Springfield gun of the model used by the negro soldiers. Lieutenant Hawkins, who made the microscopic examination of the bullets and shells which were sent to the Springfield arsenal, corroborated General Cfozier, who testified at the morning session, on every point. ONE NEGRO REGIMENT LEFT That Will Go When Brownsville Inquiry Is Over.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, June 6. With the embarkation of a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry from San Francisco today, the Twenty-fifth Infantry Is the only command of colored troops now remaining In this country. This regiment originally was scheduled to sail from San Francises for Manila April 10, but the program was Interfered with by the Senate Investigation of the Brownsville incident. In which three companies of this regiment participated.

The original orders for the movement of the Twenty-fifth were changed, with the expectation that the Senate committee would finish Its work In this city in time for the regiment to set sail by May 10. The committee took a recess of several weeVs, however, not resuming its sessions till the middle of May, and then It appeared that the work would not be finished in time for the troops to be sent away oa the transport leaving San Francisco this week. It now appears certain that at least three companies implicated and will be held till well along In July, if not later, The other troops cannot well be sent ahead, for many of the men and officers of the others are being called from day to day as witnesses. Officials of the War Department no longer attempt to conceal their displeasure over the investigation, particularly since it has become so long drawn out and has so materially Interrupted the plans of the department. A number of officers have been called from a distance, taking them away from important assignments, to tell tns committee what they know of the affair at Brownsville.

Many of them, it develops, have managed to get away quickly after assuring the committee that they have little or no knowledge regarding the shooting up of Brownsville. Calling the officers to Washington from different parts of the country Is expensive, as railroad fare and hotel bills have to be paid, and the army will ba glad when it is all over with. The Ninth Cavalry was shipped over to the Philippines, In March and most of the Tenth Cavalry was sent the first week In May The Twenty-fourth Infantry, the other of the four regiments of colored troops, will be maintained in the Philippines till next February and perhaps longer. When the Twenty-fifth finally is sent away there will not be a colored soldier left in this country. The War Department last fall decided upon this action as a means of solving the probUm of bow to locate the colored soldiers without risking serious trouble with the whits persons living near th army posts.

MISS CASE SENT TO ASYLUM "Woman In Blue" Was Determined To See The President. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, June 6.

Miss Isabella E. Case, the "Woman In Blue," who has made such a persistent attempt to see President Roosevelt during the last two years, was today, by a jury in Criminal Court No. 2, declared of unsound mind, and Justice Barnard signed an order committing her to the Government Hospital for the Insane. Dr. Presley C.

Hunt, the corporation counsel's insanity expert, testified that he examined the woman and found her possessed of delusions. Drs. Wall and Burch, the police surgeons, upon whose certificate Miss Case was recently temporarily committed to await formal inquiry into her mental condition, corroborated Dr. Hunt. When asked why she desired an audience with the President the woman replied that he belonged to the women of the country as well as the men and she bad a right to see and talk with him.

She said she believed in woman's rights. She saia-th'at when she attempted to see President Roosevelt last summer at Oyster Bay, "they" wanted $100 for the privilege. She did not specify who "they- were. Upon the advice of the Wat Department, she said, she refused to pay the money. It developed during the hearing that Miss Case was once before committed to the asylum, in December, 1905.

AN EPOCH-MAKING REFORM All Public Service Corporations Op erating Within State Save Two Classes Included In Provisions.

Aivnnr. V. June 61 The so-called! Public Utilities bill was signed today by Governor Hughes. This bill Is probably one of the most far-reaching reform meas- ures ever passed by an American Leglsla-j ture. It places under direct State control every public-service corporation, great or small, in the State of New.

York, with the excep- tion of the telephone and the telegraph. It applies not only to the railroads, street railway and subway lines, express companies, gas and electric lighting companies doing business exclusively in the State, but to the business within this State of all rail- roads or other common carriers waica enter the State at any point. The two commissions created hy tne act will have sweeping powers in regulating the corporations affected. The bill, which was urged by Governor Hughes, reached its final passage in the face of bitter oppo- sition. It was fought from first to last by renresentatives of many of the tremendously strong and wealthy corporations which will feel the weight or tne reguiauons uupuses.

For days in the two branches of the Legislature the most bitter denunciations were heaped upon the measure. When finally it was forced tnrougn xne Assembly and the Senate it was sent back for reconsideration with the veto of Mayor MtrClellan of New York city, to whom It went under the law which provides that all laws directly affecting the city must be passed upon by the Mayor. Then came further debating In the State Capitol, resulting la the passage of the bill over the Mayor's veto. Under the new law four of the most im portant State commissions will pass out of i existence. In their places will De two boards of five members each, all of whom are to be appointed by the Governor, and these boards will complete control of the regulations governing the transportation and lighting facilities of the State.

One of the commissions will have jurisdiction-In the four counties composing Greater New York, and the other will have under its direction all the other counties of the State. These two bodies will have complete and free-handed control, and will be held responsible for enforcing the regulations provided for in the measure. It will be for them to compel all corporations to give safe nd adequate service at Just and reason able rates to prevent -all rebates and discriminations In rates between different classes of shippers, passengers or kinds of traffic to compel all common carriers to have sufficient cars and motive power to meet all requirements for the transportation of passengers and property which may be reasonably anticipated, and to see that every common carrier be held specifically liable for loss or damage due to delay in transit occasioned by negligence. The bill prohibits the giving of free passes except In a few limited instances. It provides also that no franchise shall be capitalized in excess of the amount actually paid to the State as consideration for the grant of the franchise that the capital stock of a corporation formed by the mer ger or consolidation of two or more corpora tions shall not exceed the sum of the capi tal stock of the corporations so consoli dated at its par value, or such sums and any additional sums actually paid in cash nor shall any contract for consolidation or lease be capitalized in the stock of any corporation whatever nor shall any cor poration hereafter issue any bonds against or as a lien upon any contract for consoll datlon or merger." It Is provided also that no corporation shall purchase Or hold stock in another such corporation or common carrier unless authorized to do so by the commission.

DEADLOCKED AT ALBANY Senate And House Split On Reap portionment Bill. Albany, N. June 6. A deadlock be tween the Senate and Assembly developed today over the reapportionment question. which threatens to prolong Indefinitely the session of the State Legislature.

The Courts recently declared that the last re apportionment of Senate districts was void because it violated constitutional provi sions as to population and contiguity of territory, and a new plan of division was drawn up under the supervision of Gov ernor Hughes. This plan injuriously af fected several prominent Republican Sena tors and was opposed strenuously by them and their friends In the lower house, in cluding speaker Wadsworth. Today the Senate adopted the Governor's plan by a strict party vote, 30 to 17, while an Assembly Republican caucus coinci- dently voted to stand upon a plan of re apportionment radically differing from the Administration bill.

The leading papers here whose opinions are worth quoting are silent on the ques- tion of demanding an indemnity for the so-called bombarding of Japanese establishments in San Francisco.

Though the public here is irritated at the tardiness displayed In effecting a solution of the difficulty, opinion has not yet reached the stage of advocating an appeal to a hostile demonstration In any form. It is true, however, that popular indignation has reached a degree never before witnessed in the history of Japan's relations with the United States, It is thought by influential Japanese that the quicker the facts regarding the negotiations now In progress here and in Washington are published the it will be for all con cerned, as a stage has now been reached when it may prove dangerous to keep the people in suspense or ignorance or wnai is beinz done.

Japanese go there under treaty protection. "President Roosevelt's enlightened mes sage to the last Congress was received here with eminent satisfaction, but actual developments since are a total failure. "What we want are not so many expres sions of civilized sentiments, but one act of efficient protection of the treaty rights of Japanese.

London, June 6. Baron Takewo Ozawa, vice-president of the Japanese Red Cross Society, who arrived in London from New York on May 20, to attend the Red Cross conference which is to open here June 10, throws cold water on the sensational reports of the ill treatment of Japanese In America to which some of the most stair English papers are devoting much atten -tion. In an interview today, he is quoted as saying: "Naturally, as a member of the House of Peers and a politician, I was anxious to see to what extent any anti-Japanese feel ing existed In the United states.

1 may say that the San Francisco affair is much more local than I thought it was when I was in Japan. The result of my Investigations In the United States enables me to declare that the feelings of Americans toward my country are most cordial. No where did I find the least sign of unf riend- liness, with the exception of San Fran cisco. "We in Japan wish the sltuaiton between the two countries to become more and more hamonlous, hence the desire that no such jar as occurred in San Francisco, although a purely local one, should be repeated."

SECRETARY "WAS EMPHATIC Most Of The Letter Said To Have Been Prepared By Holmes -Dr. Clark And Olmsted On Stand. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, June 6. The trial of Edwin S.

Holmes, former' assistant statistician of the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Agriculture, on the indictment which charges Holmes, Frederick A. Peck-ham and Moses Haas, of New York, with conspiracy in the use of Governmenteotton- crop reports for purposes of speculation, was continued in Criminal Court No. today. Three witnesses testified- Victor H. Olmsted, who was on the stand yesterday and the' diy before, and who was recalled today, by the Government John Prosser, local manager of the Postal Telegraph Company, and Dr.

Charles C. Clark, acting statistician of the Bureau' of Statistics. The Government tried to prove by Olm sted that Holmes, as associate statistician, could have approximated the result of the completed cotton report, District (Attorney Baker asking him the following question "Given the facts that Mr. Holmes was familiar with, the methods followed by Statistician Hyde In preparation of the cotton report and the required knowledge of the terminal tabulations for the cotton States preliminary to the issue of the monthly report," could not he have very closely approximated the result perhaps one or two days in advance?" This question was objected to by Mr. Worthington and Mr.

Lester, Mr. Holmes' attorneys. After a lengthy argument, Justice Stafford decided that this was a ques tion for the jury to decide. Mr. Prosser identified several telegrams offered by the Government In evidence as having been received at the New York office of his company.

Mr. Baker did not disclose what these telegrams contained. They were marked as exhibits and will be usl later. Dr. Clark was placed on the stand shortly before the noon recess, and after court convened In the afternoon continued on the stand until adjournment.

His testi mony was practically-a repetition of that of Mr. Olmsted and Special Agent Fessen- den, outlining in detail the procedure of gathering, tabulating and Issuing the crop reports. When the first rumors as to leaks in the bureau were started, he said, Mr. Hyde declared that there was no leak" in the bureau, and a letter was prepared for Secretary Wilson's signature, to be sent to the President, denying that information concerning what the cotton yield would be had come from the bureau. Dr.

Clark Identified a letter-press copy of this letter, which contained interlineations in Holmes handwriting. This letter, he said, was prepared by Holmes and sent to the Secretary of Agriculture, who, be fore transmitting it to the President, made a considerable addition to it. The District Attorney will place Secretary Wilson on the stand some time dur ing the trial in connection with this letter, possibly next week. The letter is addressed to the President, and is, in part, as fol lows "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 11th Instant, inclosing a clr cular letter from Hubbard Bros. of New York, and a letter from Mr.

L. Man delbaum, oX the New York Cotura Ex change. "I will reply to Mr. Manflelbaum'u as sertions s-e-riatim as follows: First that the report published December 3 was known to parties outside previous to its official issue is 'absolutely false. The report of December 3 was made up from the returns of six different series of correspondents.

supplemented by the reports of special field agents. These, the original reports, were tabulated by different sets of clerks in different parts of the building and were turned over to the associate statistician on the second Instant. The returns were tran scribed on separate sheets on the 2d, and in the private room of the statistician, but the actual work of determining, the per centage of abandoned acreage and the aver age yield an acre of lint cotton in each State was not done until the morning of the 3d. This was done by. the associate statistician on the morning of the 3d, with one clerk to assist him, and neither he nor the clerk left the statistician's private room from the tlme this work was started until the finished report was taken to the telegraph office.

An examination of the tables will show the Impossibility of any clerk engaged on the preliminary portions of this work being able to make even an approxl bate estimate of the figures issued. "Second The charge that the crop has been underestimated- not less than 1,000, 000 bales in the light of the knowledge in possession of this office verges on the ridic ulous." The letter continues, outlining to the President the different steps connected with getting out the report, and ends with the suggestion that an estimate made by the representative of a Philadelphia firm at Waco, Texas, as to what the Govern ment's report would "be, and which was given out Just preceding the Government report, led to the rumors that there had been a leals.ln the Bureau of Statistics. The case went over until Monday morning, tomorrow being motion day in the court. NOTES OF POSTAL SERVICE Nw Postmaster For Chesapeake Deach Appointed.

GENERAL STRIKE EXPECTED The Employers' Association Talces Drastic Action In Effort 'To Get A Final Settlement With Men. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, June 6. The Employers' Association of the District of Columbia, which was organized about two months ago, has taken action which means practically locking out of about 2.000 worklngmen, and the cessation of work on approximately $2,000,000 in building operations here.

A resolution was adopted yesterday and made public today, signed by 23 representative business men of the District, which is con sidered the most drastic action yet taken by employers in this city. It is as follows In view of the complicated and unsettled condition of labor Industries in the District of Columbia by reason whereof building operations are seriously interfered with and practically prohibited, "Resolved, That it is the sense of the board of governors of the Employers Asso ciation tbax from the 6th day of June, 1907, until such time as arrangements looking to the free and uninterrupted continuation of building operations can be effected there should be cessation of so much of such operations as covers work performed by plasterers, metal lathers, tilelayers, galvanized iron workers, ornamental iron workers and hoisting engineers, who re fuse to work upon the improvements now in course of erection. All members of this association are re quested to occur in this resolution." For some time there has been a strained condition of affairs between the building trades and the employers, and this led sometime ago to the organization of the Employers' Association. The plumbers engaged on certain buildings here several weeks ago made demands which were not met, and efforts have been made to adjust differences. This led to the employment of nonunion plumbers, with the result that union men were instructed not to work with the nonunion workers, and where nonunion- men took the place of union men some of the other trades employed refused to work.

A member of the Employers' Associa tion this afternoon said "Our efforts thus far have tended toward conciliation, but as three arbitration boards composed of some of the most influential representative men of the District have failed in their efforts to bring about a re turn to harmony there was but one thing left for us to do -take drastic steps to bring about a settlement once for all." There is a possibility that some of the trades not enumerated by the Employers' Association will walk out tomorrow in a sympathetic strike with the locked-out trades, and that by the end of the present week all building operations will be tied up. The Master Association will follow the suggestion contained In the resolution. The board of governors which adopted the resolution is composed of the follow ing: John Mitchell, Jr. (chairman), C. H.

Rudolph J. Beall, Jr. (secretary), E. C. Graham, W.

T. Galliaer, Joseph Richardson, Thomas W. Smith, Thomas Eagan, Nolan, J. R. Gallo way, Warren M.

Whyte, Hugh Reilly, A. Kennedy, W. S. Hutchinson, Samuel Ross, C. C.

Murray, W. H. Merriatt, G. Forsberg, S. M.

Frazier, T. L. Holbrook, W. R. Rose, H.

E. Ruppreeht and J. Vieh meyer. It Is stated tonight that only Washington contractors are affected and that out-of-town contractors are in no wise con cerned in this lockout. It is expected that a meeting will be called for Sunday by the various trades affected and the 'union men will then decide upon their course of action.

After this will come up the question of whether there will be a sympathetic strike upon the part of the trades not enumerated in the Employers Association resolution.
