DENIED SICK LEAVE PAY Refute to Admit Thel Were Sick While! WASHINGTON, March 21. The Senate Committee on Military "Affairs which has been Investigating the af fair at Brownsville, Texas, In which the negro troops are charged with having shot up the town, was droning along the other day listening to wit nesses and hearing a techincal de scription of the bullets' found in the street, when Senator Scott, of West Virglnj. who tyad been reading a paper, looked up drearily and said, "better hurry along with those bul lets. We may need them in this war with Japan the papers are trying to get up." "Do you think they will shoot that far?" asked Senator Bulkeley, of Con necticut "Whether they will or not," retorted Senator Foraker with some warmth, "if ever we have a war with Japan or anybody else, we will need the ne gro troops, and the treatmnt accorded those men at Brownsville Is not en couraging to negroes who would like to serve their country." There has not been an opportunity presented (hiring his hearing that Mr. Foraker has not expressed his great admiration for the work of the colored troops. out iny for time lost.

In the corridor il Jof the second floor of the big building in the end occupied by the Secretary and his three assistants there are enough colored messengers' to form u good sized meeting. For months It been the habit of these messengers to gather during the day and relate to each other he good time they had the night before and Indulge In rem tnescertces of various sorts. There never did appear to be any good reason for this numerous' contingent of mes sengers unless it was to make an as sault on the bi-monthly pay-roll. All this has changed. These mes sengers no longer lounge about the corridors. They have nil unexpected ly found there Is something for them to do and they seem to be able to do It. Mr. Cortelyou also stopped the habit of officials having their shoe shined by the messenger during office hours. When the Secretary wants his shoes polished he goes outside or has a boot-black from the streets do it, and pays the usual charge. There is one messenger who having been a barber In his day has been in the habit of shaving clerks and cutting hair. This practice has also become a thing of the past. There will be no more barber shops in any part of the Treas ur, Mr. Cortelyou does not permit any of the messengers to do work at his residence after office hours unless they are paid for it.
