tho belief of army officers at Port Reno
that there was a conspiracy to murder

This became known today as tho ro-
sult of the preliminary hearing in the
caso of Edwin L. Knowlcs, a corporal
of Company A, Twenty-fifth infantry,
who was found guilty of assault with
intent to kill Captain Macklin of Com
pany C, Twenty-fifth infantry, on the
night of December 21. Knowlcs was
bound over to await the action of the
Canadian county grand jury at tho
spring term of court. All of the otli
cers now go heavily armed and are pro
tected through the night.
Moro Arrests to Follow
Efforts have been made by the ofti
cers at tho post to keep the alleged
conspiracy secret, but it was learned
that an invcstigationMs now being con
ducted nt several army posts and im
portant places throughout the country
and within a short time soveral arrests
of members of troops recently discharg
ed are expected to follow.
Information was received horo to
night that the arrest of a negro soldier
at La Junta, Colo., had been mado to
day. Suspicion rests upon members of
troops at Fort Niobura, Nebraska, and
three other points. The arrest of these
men has been postponed until the hear
ing in the case of Corporal Knowlcs.

mation would be received tending to

President of Santa Fe Testifies
as to Union Pacific
Stock Deal
Ry Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January S. Tho inquiry
of tho interstate commorco commission
into the management and methods of
the Ilarrimnn railroads, which begun in
New York, was resumed here today.
Tho commission occupied most of the
day with testimony as to cattle from
Texas points and it was not until late
in the afternoon that tho 'Ilarrimnn
lines were brought before tho body.
Only ono witness was examined, Pres
ident "Ripley of tho Santa Fe railroad.
Ripley's testimony did not bring out
anything startling. He declared that
he did not know until he had read it
last week in a paper that tho Union
Pacific was the holder of nearly $10,
000,000 of Santa Fe stock. He asserted
! that when approached by representa
tives of this stock for tun right to
name members of tho Santa Fo directors
ho refused to consider tho proposition
until it was distinctly understood that
the directors to be named were not offi
cers of tho Union Pacific or of any
other line competitive with tho Santa
Fe.
Tho directors elected were II. II. Rog
ers and It. C. Frick, both of whom were
directors of the Union Pacific at tho
timo of tho election to the Santa Fo
directorate. Ripley testified that their
connection with tho Union Pacific had
in no way impaired their usofulness to
the Santa Fo. . -
Piesident Ripley was examflied at
considerable length as to whether Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific were com
petitors of each other and of the Santa
Fe. Tho substance ot tin testimony in
this respect was that while competitors
in somo things, they were not so on all
classes of traffic nor from all parts of
the country.

Some Warm Resolutions by
Unanimous Vote.
SECRETARY METCALF
IS ROUNDLY SCORED
Resolutions State that There Is
Not a Word of Truth in Sec
retary's Report on Japanese
Conditions in California.
Hv Associated Press.
"STOCKTON, Cal., January 8. The
California State Federation of Labor to
day passed resolutions strongly attack
ing President Roosovelt nnd Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Motcalf for
their attitude in relation to tho Jap
anese, also pronouncing against tho em
ployment of Chinese coolio labor an the
Panama canal. Tho resolutions wore
passed unanimously, the one attacking
tho president carrying by a rising vote.
The resolutions woro as- follows:
'Resolved, by the State Federation
of .Labor, that tho viows expressed by
the president concerning our attitude
toward the Japanese indicate misinfor
mation or misconstruction of facts; that
his threat to 'deal summarily' was
therefore uncalled for and his request
for the enlargement of his powers is
quite unnecessary. Further, be it
Resolved, That wo insist uion and
shall to tho limit of our power main
tain our right under the constitution of
tho United States nnd tho constitution
of California, and as a matter of prac
tical necessity to the moral and mental
well being of our peoplo to segregnte"
tho pupils in common schools in such
manner as reason and experience shall
dictate.
Credit Rather than Ccnsuro
"Resolved, That in its treatment of
tho Jnpuncso and other nlions now resi
dent within its borders, California can
not thusly be charged with unfair dis
crimination, but, on tho contrary, is en
titled to credit for a liberality exceed
ing that of many other states in the
matter of rights nnd privileges accord
ed aliens; further, be it
"Resolved, That we deplore tho ten
or of tho president's message hi so far
as it treats of the Japanese in the com
mon schools of San Francisco as mis
leading in the statement of facts.
Unworthy of Credence
"Resolved, That the report of Sec
retary Motcalf is utterly unworthy of
credence in any particular, the same be
inj: obviously a one-sided and grossly
exaggerated presentation of incidents
which, so far as they exist at all, bear
no significance to the question at issue
between tho governments of the United
States and of Japan or between the
state o" California and .Roosevelt. Fur
thcr, bo it
"IUwolved, That wo hereby express
our lack of confidence in Secretary Met
calf as ono who, having been honored
anil trusted by our citizens, sought to
betray our interests in a matter vitally
allccting the welfare of the present and
future generations, with tho object of
bolstering up an assault upon our rights,
a solf-govoming commonwealth, and
with tho intent to justify a blow at the
most fundamental principle of national
liberty."

DANIELS SUPPORTS
PRESIDENT'S ACTION
Foraker Defers Closing Argu
ment as to Dismissal to Lat
er Day Overman Against
Child Labon Bill.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Januury 8. The
house immediately after the approval
of theJournul, today began the con
sideration of the military appropriation
bill. Chairman Hull began tho debate
by a comprohonsivo Statement of the
contents of tho army budget, which
curries $2,500,000 more thun last year.
Other speeches were made by Slay
den ,of Texas on his bill to discontinue
the enlistment of negroes in the army
of the United States by Zenor of Indi
ana against tho ship subsidy bill; by
Gaines of Teuuesbee, who spoke in com
memoration of the ninety-second anni
versary of the battle of New Orleans.
Without finishing tho general debate the,
house adjourned.
In the Senate
The senate occupied the day discuss;
ing to a limited extent the Brownsville)
affair. Daniel of Virginia spoke in sup
port of tho president's action. Foraker
said that other speeches are to be mado
and indicated that ho would defer hhj
closing argument until a later day.
Daniels' Justfi cation
Justifying the Democratic support for
tho position of the president, Daniels
said:
"Nothing over prevented anybody
coming from south of tho Potomac from
declaring an honest judgment as to
tho meaning of tho constitution, nor in
upholding tho power of tho president
and army on all occasions where patriot
ism is invoked."
Daniels denied that tho race situa
tion was insoluble. He exclaimed, "May
God forbid that the peoplo of the Unit
ed States shall raise racial questions
when it is possible to avoid them.
"It is not tho color of a soldier's
skin that makes him right. We should
teach tho colored men evon as we teach
white men that obedience to the law is
the first duty of a soldier."
Different Had it Been Whites
Senator Daniels ridiculed the sugges
tion which he said had been hinted at,
"That the -Brownsville people 'shot up'
their town town in order to bring re
proach on the colored soldiers.
"If this had been a white company,"
outinued Daniels, "cither from Con
necticut or Virginia, we would have no
meetings on the subject, no sermons
would have been preached, no church
wolud have been uroiiBed and diverted
from its religious devotions."
Overman of North Carolina addressed
the senato in opposition to the proposed
federal child labor bill, tho opposition
boing based on the ground of state
rights. The bill limiting tho hours of
railroad employees was discussed for an
hour and mhny amendments suggested.
Trying to Compromise
Practically all of today was given
over by tho senato leaders of both par
ties to an effort to bring about har
mony between tho opposing factions
concerning the proposed investigation
of the affair at Brownsville, Texas.
What amounts to an agreement be
tween Senators Foraker and Lodgo has
been attained by their friends, but it
is not absolutely certain that tho peace
plans will not bo upset.
Tho compromise is not greatly differ
ent from tho resolutions presented by
Sonator Lodge. It provides for the
investigation by tho senate committee
on military affairs ot tno uiiray ar
Brownsville and to this is to bo added
provisions that a sub-committee bo sent
to Brownsville and that the expenses of
the investigation bo paid out of the
contingent fund of the senate.
Want Formal Announcement
At tho meeting of tho finance commit
tee, making his request that action on
tho Cortelyou nomination bo postponed
for a weok, Senator Teller said that the
committee had nothing but newspaper
statements to show that tho postmaster
general had resigned from the manage
ment of the Republican national com
mittee. He thought that Secretary Cor-
lelvoii should communicate tho tact tnat
ho had severed his connection with that
political organization. "Republican
members assented to the suggestion.
Wants Child Slavery
WASHINGTON, January 8. Tn pre
senting his objections today in the sen
ate to the pending bills for tho regu
lation of child labor, Senator Overman
of North Carolina went into an elab
orate discussion of tho decline of state
rights. Senator Overman held that
there was no limit to the power of con
gress to deal with commerce which is
interstate in its nature. . He heartily
indorsed the recent measures exercising
this control, such as the rate bill, the
puro food law and meat inspection regu
lations controlling commorcinl produe.

of California said:
"I found everything in excellent
shape, work progressing very favora
bly and most economically. The men

nese labor in completing the building
of the canal."

to present a fine feld for American
workmen without employing Chinese."

of Chinese labor on tho canal. He said
the men now there are doing good work,
