Dec. 26.—“I think that the story about what the president In- tendn to do In too silly to talk about, and you must excuse me from discuss In* It” Senator Foraker made this state- inent when his attention was called to the published atnrlta of President Roosevelt's determination to resist con gresslonal action looking to the resto ration of the discharged negroe| of the Twenty-fifth Infantry aa a result of the Brownsville riot, to the military serv ice, even to the extent of welcoming Impeachment proceedings against him. Foraker Seeka Evidence. The eeuator returned yesterday from New York, where he has been two or three daye on business, which, accord ing to the understanding In Washing ton, waa connected with the case of tba discharged negro soldiers. It la said that the aen&tor conferred with official! of the Constitutional League, an organisation which has con ducted an Independent^ Investigation of the matter, and which has arrived at conclusions that differ radically from thoee of the president and Secretary Taft. * L.tt.r, To Be Submitted. It la understood that acme of the new avldence which Senator Foraker cauae to be presented to {he senate committee on military affairs, In the event of the adoption of his resolution directing an Investigation of the case by that body. Is In the fond of letters prltten to the wife of an army officer In Washington by the wives of officers who were stationed at Brownsville when the trouble occurred, and prior t that time. The writers of these letters are said to have Hsserted, in effect, that the peo- pie of Brownsville were of sjich a char acter as to make It necessary for the women of the post to pructlcally make themselves prisoners In their quarter because they feared to go uhoiit the streets of the town.

Mrs. fortune Rider-Kelsey; whose picture here appears, and her hus band propose to give practical ap plication to Mrs. Herbert Farson's trial marriage scheme, though they will reverse the process. The Ket- seys haye been married for 10 years and recently have come to the conclusion that they tfiay not be as happy as they should be. They have, therefore, agreed to a year's separation In order to de termine whether they are happier married or single. At' the end of that provisional period, they will decide whether they will come to gether again or apply for a divorce. The experiment Is being watched with a great deal of interest by their friends.

WA TSON MAINTAINS IN ADDRESS TO FARMERS > “Twenty different times I have wit nessed the observance of Christinas In Atlanta, and Christmas this year was the quietest and moat orderly of them air.” This statement was made Wednesday morning to a Georgian reporter by Chief of Police Jennings, as he ex pressed hla Intense pleasure at the or derly manner .In which Christmas was celebrated In Atlanta Tuesday; “Chrlsttnas, ItOI, In Atlanta." said the chief, “will go on record as one of the most notable In the history of the City. And this because of the splendid order maintained. The observance was remarkable and I think the people of Atlanta should feel proud. The police all did good work, the people of the city showed no desire to disturb th< peace and serenity of the occasion. am • all In all it was a sublime celebration of a beautiful holiday." Chief Jennings was determined that the day should not be iniftied by dis order and lie and hfs men were on tip* alert to prevent any possible outbreak. But there was none. It was a day of peace and quiet am! plenty—more like Hunday than the ordinary observe of Christmas in previous years. But On# Accident. Another striking feature of the m ■Ion la the fact that but one Christiiihm ■evident of any character was reported to the police or at the Grady hospital This single instance was the deplorable tragedy of I'hristmus morning, when Miss Tymna Freeman, the 16-yeur-obl stenographer, was fatally shot by her uncle, K. S. laminiore. at 38 Huong street. Tli** wounded girl was taken !»> the hospital, where she died shortly after noon. % The corps of hospital physicians are usually overworked at Christinas, at tending to accidents of various kinds and people shot and cut In lights and brawls, but this year they w>»e given :» rest, due to the surprising lack iff dis order and accidents. At the police station a total of about ITS cases were docketed between Mon day noon and Wednesday morning. This Is considered light police business for Christmas. Police officials and the recorder at tribute this unusual condition to the fact that the saloons were closed in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. It is esti mate*! that fully 100 more cases would have been made had the saloons been open Christmas Eve night.

Thomson, (5p., Dec..26.—In his speech before the recent meeting of the Farm, ers’ Union In McDuffie county Hon. Thomas R Watson, who waa one of the principal speakers, gave the union his hearty support, and took occasion to criticise llarvle Jordan, of the South ern Cotton Association, and demanded to know wjjy Jordan did not resign the office he holds. In concluding his address, Mr. Wat son paid: "Httrvle Jordan contends that he will bring spinner and grower together. I would like to know how lie cun do It. If the spinner in so anxious to come Into the union of the cotton grower, why does hot the spinner take the cot ton grower Into his associations'.' (Ap plause.) Thut Is a question which I venture to say Hatvle cannot answer, Just as 1 have asked him some, other 'questIons,-you know, (loud laughter), w hich he has not been able to answer.” Mr. Watson, continuing, said Unit when lie was a younger man he bud the young man’s natural ambition for of fice, but that was u long time ago and lie no longer wanted any office under the aun. lie had found other work that suited him better. "When I cumc back from New Or leans, where I bad gone to assure the farmers,of the South of my earnest de- si ra* to co-opeiuite with them for the liimrovement of their condition, a newspaper writer, signing himself •Fanner.' began to clamor for my res ignation. saying that my connection with the Southern Cotton Growers' As sociation was an embarrassment to It. Tills continued until 1 felt the embar rassment. and I passed my resignation up to llarvle Jordan to give him the hance to say whether or not farmers' movement. "I notice that Hatvle Jordan Is be ing criticised In the newspapers ten times more severely than that anony mous scribbler who signed himself 'Farmer* criticised me. The Southern Cotton Growers’ Association Is, Im mensely more embarrassed by ’ the things that have been proved on Haf- vle Jordan than anything that was proved on me by that scribbler who signed himself 'Farmer.' But I notice thut llarvle Jordan Is, not resigning anything to relieve the Cotton Associa tion of embarrassment. (Great laugh ter and applause.) As I said, 1 do not know whether It would be best for you for me to be come u member of your association. Possibly I can serve you better from the outside, Just as 1 did In the days of tlu* Alliance.

(Cheering.) "Upon the question of my eligibility, no local union will be asked to pass. If you who are members of any local union think that I can best serve you by becoming one of you. 1 will ask that you tuke that question up with your state and national leaders and let those who are high In authority In your union decide whether It Is better for me to become one of your members or liether 1 am eligible to become so.
