FORAKER RESOLUTION
FINALLY ADOPTED
""' ' " ________
Ilie Brownivlle Affray Will be In.
vesllgate Hoot Questenlng
President's Authority.
HIS BEEN DEBATED FOB WEEKS
Closing Day of the Discussion Was
Mild and Lamb Like?Several
Amendments Were Offered By
Democrats But hey Were Voted
Down By the Republicans.
(Dy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C? Jan. 22.? ;
The Sonnte today passed the com-|
promise Forakcr resolution, author*
izlng the committee on military af?
fairs to Investigate the facts of tho
affray at Brownsville, Texan, tihe
nights of August 13 and 14 last,
"without questioning the legality or
Justice of any act of tho President
in relation" to or connected with:
that affray. This action enmo after i
tho subject of the President's dls
charging' of tho uogro troops had
been under consideration almost
dally since te llrst day of Oho pros*
cut session of Congress and every
phase of the question had boon dis?
cussed on all bides. Before tho
adoption or the resolution,. several i
substitute measures wore voted down
One by Senator Hallory declaring
that Che President had authority
fur his course and acted Justly, was
tabled by a voto of 4.1 lo 22. Anoth?
er by Senator McCumbor, simply
providing for an Investigation with?
out roferonce lo the Prosldent In
any manner was tabled by a viva
voce vote. A third, by Senator
Culborson, simply indorsing tlho
President's action and providing for
no Investigation was tabled by a
roll call voto of 4? to 19.
Mr. Mallory's Amendment.
When the resolution was laid
beforo the Sonate, Mr. .Hallory of
Florida discussed the legal ques?
tions Involved In tho President's
discharge for the negro troops.
Mr. Mullory offered a substitute for
tho compromise In the Urownsvllle
resolution presented by Mr. Fora
kor. The resolution of Mr. Mallory
provided for nn Investigation as
follows:
"That In the Judgem. jU^^hoSep-.l'
ato the recent ac?__*"u_ life rresi?
dent ?4$lU*-*3>rglng wilthout honor
XTi fisted men of Companies B. C. D.
of tho Twenty-fifth Infantry was
within the scope of his authority
and power and tho proper oxcrclse
thereof." Mr. Mallory sakl ho could)
not support tho Forakcr resolution;
because Its lsnguago as to tho
President's power was equivocal.
Senator Tellor opposed the Idea
advanced In a rosent speoch by
Senator Ixulgo that the President
"tnhorlted" power from tho king
This wnB n new doctrine and tho
Colorado Senator said he could soo
how It might become popular In
some localities.
Bacon of Georgia Changes Front.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, sup?
ported tho Mallory substitute. Ho
cfliaractorized the agrooinont among
tho Republicans on tho Foraker res?
olution as nn illustration of their
"extreme detexity in forming meas?
ures for which they enn all vote
although some of tihom are directly
opposed in sentiment as in tho
matter to which that resolution re?
lates. The Forakcr resolution, he
declared to be eqivocal and am
blglous. When Mr. Bacon remark?
ed that If tho President was con?
tent with a compromise in such
language on which those who op?
posed and supported Ihim could
unite, Mr. Aldrich asked:
"Did I understand the Senator
to Bay that tho question whether
the President is content with tho
resolution is the main question?"
American Plan,
$2.00 and $2.50
Cafe open from 8 a. m.
to 12 p. m.
Oysters, Fish
and game in Season
Finest Wines, Liquors
and Cigars
Automobile for Hire
R. L. Madison,
Manager.
Mr. Bacon replied that ho thought
and said that what the President
might think was far from the Im?
portant feature, "and," he added
"I think the *Sonntor from Rhode
Island had but ono purpose in his
question and that was for mo to
emphasize what I had sulu to the
contrary."
Foraker Talks Again.
Replying to Mr. Bacon's argument
Mr .Foraker reviewed the history
of the Brownsville controversy. Mr.
Foraker maintained that from tho
beginning all he had contended for
waB the fnctB.
Mr- Bacon said In reply that
while ho was far from being an
advocate of tho President, he bo
llevod tho languago proposed In the
Foraker resolution was an Injus?
tice to tho President. Mr. Bncon
wanted an opportunity to voto di?
rectly on the question whether tho
President had tlho legal power to
discharge tho negro troops and on
the question of tabling the resolu?
tion. Ho spoke of the affray at
Brownsv-Hle as "an unspeakable out?
rage."
Was Fairly Close Vote.
A roll call was taken on Mr.
Forakor's motion to lay the Mallory
:.uhstitntc on the table. This mo?
tion prevailed 33 to 22. Messrs.
McCumber, Warner and L?aJV<_iiette
voted with the Dremo/tf?a"t8 and
Messrs. Teller ami TUlman with the
Republicans, y
* :,_??ishoo Jim" Talks.
Mr. Stone took occasion to review
Senator Tlllman's attempt at "hu?
mor" yesterday. He said he had ]
taken no offense at tho reference
to hlmsel in Mr. Tlllman's character?
ization of tho Senate as ""a minstrel
troupe" and was sorry the Senator
from Tennessee (Mr. Carmac) and
the Scnnto had eliminated It from
the record. He was opposed to
having the record "a tomb for plati?
tudes" and he hoped Senator TUl?
man would reconsider his resolu?
tion "not to do so again," but would
i "soften bis tone" and make many
futuro attempts.
Another Amendment Voted Down.
Senator Culberson proposed a sub?
stitute which provided for no in?
vestigation but simply resolved .that
tho President was authorized by
law and Justified by the facts In
dismissing tho negro troops.
Explaining tho need for tho reso?
lution he* said the wholo question
was now In tho hands of Senators
who opposed or denied the right
or authority of the position of the
President. The Culberson substl
I tuto was tabled by a vote of 46 to
19.
Finally Adopted.
A voto on the Foraker resolution
wns then taken, and without a
roll call tho resolution was de
I dared adopted. Tho resolution was
j referred to the committee to audit
and control the contingent expenses
of the Scnato in ordor to secure
authority for tho expenditures- of
the inquiry, whereupon Mr. Kean,
RESOLVE
THAT WHEN BUYING
Jewelry or Silverware
It pays to be somewhat choice in the selection of the firm
from which you buy, and that a twenty-year guarantee from
a two-year firm is not a guarantee. When buying jewelry
form us you know that you are getting just what you are
paying for and have before you the largest stock in the city
to make your seleotion from.
