Resident t in Social Trans
mitting Message Holds
Out. Hope for Repentant
Soldiers, But Says Guilty
Must Be Punished.
(United rresi Listed Wlre.l
Washington. Dee, 14. -President
Roosevelt today pent congress a special
rnessago regarding the Brownsville af
fair. With the message he sent the ev
idence In the case. Ills message Is tn
part as follows:
"I enclose a report nt the Investiga
tion by Herbert J. Brown, employed by
the war department with Cnptaln Bald
win In Investitratlnir the Brownsville af
fair. The report enable us. to fix some
criminal ana muraerotis siooung, aim
established clearly that the colore!
soldiers did the shooting, but upon this
point further record was unnecessary.
"The investigation has not gone far
enough to enable us to determine all
i he facts. It appears that almost all
the members of Company B must have
been actively concerned, either ss par
ticipants or virtually encouraging the
participants, There can be no question
that practically every mart In Compa
nies C and D must have had knowledge
of the shoot ing done by .the soldiers
of B troof. '
"The concealment of .this knowledge
wan a grave offense, aggravated by
their .testifying. before the senate com
mittee that they were Ignorant of what
rtieyvmust have known. Nevertheless,
this is 'to be said in partial extenuation
of their act; that they were probably
cowed by the more desperate men who
were actually engaged In the shootings.
The circumstances tend to show that
thse men were encouraged by outsid
ers to persist In a course of conceal
ment and denial.
Sops for "tins Penitent.
"I feel that the guilt of those who
shielded the perpetrators of these
crimes, although serious, was In part
due to the unwise and Improper atti
tude of others, and that some measure
of allowance should be made.
"I believe that we can afford to rein
state the men who now truthfully tell
what happened and who give all the
aid they can to fix the responsibility
and show that they had no guilty
knowledge beforehand and were not im
plicated. "Under the circumstances, we can af
ford to treat the men who meet these
requirements as having been sufficient
ly punished. I recommend a law allow
ing the secretary of war, within a fixed
period of, say a year, to reinstate any
of these soldiers whom, after careful ex
amination, he finds to have been, inno
cent and to have done all in his power
to bring the guiltv to justice.
"Only by carrying on this Investiga
tion Is there the slightest chance of
bringing the offenders to justice."
Private Conysrs' Confession.
The report of the investigation of the
wrownsvme case Dy Meroert J. Browne,
submitted, by the war department and
sent to the senate by President Roose
velt with his message, says ex-Private
Boyd Conyers of Company B confessed
to William Lawson. a colored detective,
that he and four others led the shott
ing, and says that further Conyers gave
to Lawson full details as to how the
ammunition was secured.
Conyers afterward tried to commit
suicide, saying he feared he would be
murdered when his confession became
known.. Later, after receiving a letter
from Senator Foraker, to whom he
wrote, the report says he refused to
give the Information and seemed to
take the letter as a mandate to stick
to the story as told to tie senate com
mittee. -
Conyers' story 1st saM to have shown
that the soldiers heard of threatened
trouble at Brownsville before they went
there. It Is said they held out cart
ridges at the rifle range and other
r laces on the way, saying they gave
hem ,to the people at the stations on
the way as souvenirs. Punishment for
this shortage was threatened but was
not inflicted.
Story of the Conspiracy.
The story said it was agreed in a ear
loon to make n raid at midnight on
August 13, 1908. Conyers Is said t.
have told Lawson that John Holloman,
John Brown and Carolina Desaussure,
with himself, were the chief conspira
tors. He said Holloman wai the real
leader and distributed the ammunition.

t Voice of the Press Those Petitions

J In like manner the Republicans of Minnesota might properly cir-
X culate petitions calling on Governor Johnson not to take his seat, on
the ground that a state which gave Taft 80,000 or 100,000 plurality
T does nof want a Democratic governor. The Republicans of Indiana
2 and Ohio, cheered and encouraged by the Oregon example, and -
perceiving that their states respectively will cast .their electoral
1 votes for Taft;, might, take action to prevent the successful Demo
X cratic gubernatorial candidate from assuming office. If the policy
about to be pursued in Oregon is to be regarded as legitimate it is
2 susceptible of such variation as will enable it to be employed in many
states. The state of Missouri has just given its electoral vote to
IT Taft and a the Same time has chosen a legislature pledged to the re
X election of William J. Stone, Democrat, to the' United States senate;
' The plain truth about the plan evolved in Oregon is that it is an
J assault upon popular government.; In comparison with the right of
X the people to have their yoke obeyed, it is a matter of very slight
consequence whether Oregon sends, a Republican or a Democrat to
X 'the senate of the United States. The issues were laid before the :
people of that state and all ' senatorial candidates thoroughly con--
sidered. The people' jnsiructed the legislature to choose George E.,,

(United Pren Leased Wire.)
Berlin, Dec. 14. "The selsure of the
coast guardshlp Allx by the Dutch
cruiser Gelderland is no less than naval
brigandage. It Is an outrage on civil
isation. By that act Holland has put
herself outside the Pale of decencv. T
do not know what Venezuela will do
about It."
In this caustic language President
Castro of Venezuela commented today
on the warlike move made by Holland
Saturday, the news of which was not
conveyed to him until he reached this
city this afternoon.
Castro declares that his visit to this
city Is to consult Dr. Israel. He as
serts that whoever says he Is not sick
is telling a lie.
The Venezuelan president has en
gaged the first floor, containing thirty
rooms, at the Hotel Esplanade, and
his bill will be a trifle over 250 a day.
He has engaged for the use of .himself
and his party 10 motor cars at a cost
of $500 dally. He Is surrounded by a
small army of detectives and followed
by a retinue of gaily attired flunkeys.
Representatives of the foreign office
greeted Castro today. They have been
ordered to show him every courtesy.

14. That the captain of the Allx, the
Venezulan coast guardshlp which was
captured on Snturday by the Dutch
cruiser Gelderland, tried to escape by
hiding the flag of the republic in his
pocket Is the amusing story of the in
cident told today by an officer of the
Gelderland.
The Venezuelan captain insisted when
the Dutch officers boarded his vessel
that his ship was not one of the navy
but only a' merchant steamer. When
the boat was searched, not only was the
flag found tuckerf away in the com
mander's Docket, but a store of six
rusty rifles and a small quantity of
ammunition were found.
The crew of the Allx. being given
the alternative of coming to Curacao
or going ashore at Puerto Cabello. chose
tne latter course ana emoamea in om
of their own boats. The Allx was then
manned by sailors from the Gelderland
and towed -here, where she Is now an

lor streets was dedicated. The present
church was built In 1866 and plans are
being discussed now for a much larger
building that will have to be erected
soon as a home for the congregation.

IARVHERSBEHIIBARS
Prisoners in County Jail Will Not Be Permitted the Use
of a Razor Hereafter Mowing Will Be Done
With a Pair of Clippers. 1
No more razors for the use of prison
ers in the countv Jail.
This is the edict that has gone forth
from Jailer H. P. Hfcnter. doing away
with a custom that has existed beyond
the memorv of the oldest inhabitant.
Hereafter the men behind the bars will
have to be content with the gentle rum
ble of a pair of hair clippers over their
faces.
The banishment of thr razor from the
Jail comes as the sequfeflfce to the at
tempt of Mutt Johnsonr to depart from
this life by the razor route while he
was on trial for murder last week. Had
Johnson's aim been a little more true
he would have severed some of the
larger blood vessels. Instead of merely
puncturing his windpipe and the Jailer
nss decided thrft he will guard sgainst
future events of like nature by putting
the razor on tho list of forbidden things.

Jenkins Halns, brother of Captain
Peter C. Halns, charged with participa
tion tn the shooting - and killing of
William E. Annis because, of the sus
pected relations of Annls with 'Captain
Halns' wife, faced tne court at the
opening of his trial this afternoon.
Halns was attired tn a dark business
suit and appeared unconcerned with the
proceedings. He exchanged glances of
sympathy with his father, brother and
other relatives who were seated near
his counsel's table.
Halns sat next to Attorney Mclntyre,
his counsel. It was 12:55 when the
court convened. The court room was
not large enough to hold all of the
260 talesmen summoned for examina
tion for Jury duty. X constdcrabla
number of them were forced to remain
on a lower floor of the court house.
Technical argument between oppos
ing counsel relating to the drawing of
the panel occupied the greater part of
the afternoon. A decision In the mat
ter will be handed down later.
The charge under -which Halns is be
ing tried is that of aiding Captain
Halns to shoot - Annls. It Is alleged
that Halns stood with drawn pistol and
prevented witnesses from going to the'
aid of Annls while Captain Halns was
shooting his wife's alleged betrayer.
The prosecution will also endeavor to
show that Thornton Jenkins Halns
worked on his brother's credulity and
impelled him to the shooting of Annls.
The defendant Is brought to trial
first, to permit an Inquiry into the

tions pertaining to his dealings In
Union Pacific and Southern PaolAu
stocks which mav be asked him by tho
Interstate commerce commission, ac
cording to a decision of the United

Justice Holmes.
The decision reverses the finding of
the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York.
Many a defendant accused of heinous)
crime has been able to make a handsome
appearance in court by being permitted
to scrape his face with a county whis
ker lifter before he went Into court.
There has always been some danger t ha f,
the prisoner would choose to use the
blade on his throat or on some other
Srlsoner. or on the Jailer, and After the
ohnson episode it was decided,: that th
razor must go. .-....,
The barber's clipper, that sings a It
goes, will be the official substlt'ite for
the razor hereafter, and at stated tlniPS
the prisoners will have opportunity to
harvest their whiskers with this Imple
