Told How Colored Soidiers ‘Shot
Up” Brownsville,
WAS NEVER IN THE ARMY
San Antonio, Texas, March 19.—In
the Penrose court martial the cross
examination of Lieutenant Harboldt
was completed. The trial is drawing
to a close and the examination of wit-
nesses is being shortened.
The story of Gray's alleged confes-
sion is considered here as a fake. A
telegram to the department headquar-
ters here from Lieutenant Fred. Van B,
Chamberlain, recruiting officer at
Houston and Galveston, says:
“Gray story a fake. Gray has work-
ed in Galveston seven years and has
never been in the army.”
“Fake,” Says Blocksom.
Washington, March 19.—Chairman
Warren, of the senate committee on
military affairs, which is investigating
the Brownsville affray, received from
Secretary Taft a copy of a dispatch
from San Antonio, Texas, as follows:
“The adjutant general, United States
Army, Washington—Chief of police,
Galveston, has just wired me confes-
sion of Gray, supposed discharged sol-
dier, appearing in papers is a fake.
“Blocksom, Major.”
NEGRO'S STORY OF OUTRAGE
How They “Shot Up”
Brownsville, Texas.
Galveston, Tex., March 18. — The
Galveston News printed the alleged
confession of a discharged negro sol-
dier in explanation of the midnight
riot of negro soldiers of the 25th in-
fantry, who “shot up” Brownsville,
Texas, on August 13, 1906. The News’
story says a statement was made by
one of the discharged negro soldiers to
two reporters, and that after seven
months of investigation by the author-
{ties of the United States, what ap-
pears to be the true version of the riot
has come to light. The discharged sol-
dier admits that he participated in
the riot. This man has been living in
Galveston since he and many others
of the 25th infantry were discharged
without honor by order of President
Roosevelt from the military service.
According to the alleged statement
made to the reporters, the outrage was
not premeditated, but was the result
of an alleged injury done to one of the
soldiers by a white man in Browns-
ville about a half hour before the riot
started. The negro, the story says,
was struck by the white man at a re-
sort in Brownsville. The negro, return-
ing to the barracks, seized his rifle
and announced that he was going to
kill the white man. Several other ne-
groes promptly volunteered to go along
to wipe out old scores against white
citizens on account of injuries they
had suffered. The negroes returned to
the barracks after committing the as-
sault on the town, and many soldiers
assisted in the hurried cleaning of the
guns for the inspection which followed
soon after the shooting ceased. Ac-
cording to the alleged confession, the
soldiers from only one company of the
26th infantry participated in the riot,
although nearly an entire battalion,
later discharged, knew soldiers had
done the shooting. :

Gross Receipts Last Year Increased
Over $111,000, 000.
New York, March 16.—The United
States Steel Corporation, according to
its annual report, has passed through
the most prosperous year in its his-
tory. The gross receipts were $696,
756,926, an increase of $111,425,190.
After paying out nearly $150,000,000
in wages to 202,457 employes and de-
ducting the cost of manufacture, there
was a total profit of $188,832,835 for
the year. After interest charges and
other deductions the net earnings are
reported to be $156,624,273, the larg-
est amount ever reported by the cor-
poration. In all about $80,000,000 was

fLOOD SUBSIDES AT PITTSBURG
Nearly $10,000,000 Damage Done By
Great Freshet.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 16.—With the
rapid receding of the waters in the
Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio
rivers which is taking place here, con-
ditions are fast assuming normal pro-
portions, and the greatest and most
destructive flood in the history of the
city is at an end. Immediately foliow-
ing the subsiding of the water the task
of computing and repairing the dam-
age was begun. A majority of the em-
ployes of the large manufacturing es-
tablishments who were temporarily
thrown out of employment are endeav-
oring to put the plants into working
order.
Ten square miles were inundated.
The loss in actual dollars will prob-
ably never be known, but an estimate
thus far in Allegheny county may be
summarized in the following table:
in output of steel mills. $3,000,000
in output of other in-
dustries ..... Sssessssess «. 2,000,000
Loss in wages of employes.. 1,837,000
Estimated damage to indus-
trial plants............... 2,600,000
Totil ...c..oin..uie eees+.$9,337,000
Reports from all parts of Western
Pennsylvania are to the effect that the
flood has subsided and efforts are now
being made to clear up the wreckage.
Thirty large blast furnaces in this
city are out of commission on account
of the flood. The daily output of the
furnaces is 25,000 tons of iron. It is
said that the suspension will cause a
gearcity in iron.

Early Truck Almost Ruined.
Norfolk. Va., March 16.—Early cab-
bage, spinach, kale and tender plants
still in hot beds were badly damaged
and in some instances almost ruined
throughout the Norfolk county truck-

has visited this section in nine years.
It will take from two to three weeks
for the crops not completely ruined to
reach their growth, and shipments to
northern markets will be delayed ac-
cordingiy. Truckers will lose heavily.
