PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S ORDER DISMISSING NEGRO SOLDIERS HELD UP BY SECRETARY TAFT He Heeds Protest of Republican Club of N. Y. OLIVER DECLARES BLACKS A MENACE Acting Secretary Defends Action of the Chief Ex ecutive of Country. Washington, Nov. 20.—Secretary of War Taft has suspended the president’s order dismissing a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry* (colored) from the service without honor. Acting un der orders from the secretary, who Is In New Haven, Conn., but who will be back at hls desk today, Major General Ainsworth, military secretary, has di rected that further discharges of. the Twenty-fifth regiment companies be suspended, pending further orders. Protests without number hfive been received at the department against this order of dismissal, and the action of Becretary Taft alforde the president the opportunity to change hls mind if he cares to do so. The president was made aware of the state of feelings here by a cable Sunday before he left the Isthmus for Porto Rlcb, but no re ply has been received.. Taft 8utpenda Order. Upon hls own responsibility Secre tary. Taft suspended tho execution of the order of dismissal. This battalion of the Twenty-fifth, Infantry, Composed of Companies B. C and D, was stationed at Brownsville, Texas, last summer. In the month of August some of the men of these com panies "shot up the town.” One white man was killed, another wounded, and the people generally put In terror. An effort on the part of the officers, the men and an Inspector sub sequently sent to Brownsville by the department to Identify the men who had done the shooting xvas fruitless. The feeling against the troops be came so intense that the government. In order to prevent any further trouble, ordered the three companies trans ferred to Fort Reno, In Oklahoma. He Heart Many Protests, Finding that conviction of the cul prits was Impossible because of the at titude of the men, the president finally Issued hls order for the gllatnlsaal of the entire battalion without honor. This order was executed In the case of six or seven men left at Brownevllle In the guard house when the battalion left, but has not been executed In the case of remaining men of the battalion, ag gregating about 160 men. Blnce his return to Washington Bee retury Taft has discovered that this action of the president has been made the subject of vigorous protests from all parts of the country. Saturday he was visited by Mrs. Mary Church Ter rell, a member of the district school board. In her capacity ns a member of the Constitutional League of New York, who urged him to suspend tho order until the representatives of the league could see the president on hls return from Panama. Heeds G. O. P. Criticism. The most potent of all the protests, however, seems to hove been that of the New York Republican Club, which adopted resolutions condemning the action of the president as unjust and demanding that It be rescinded. Pro tests also have been recolved from min isters of ihe gospel, condemning the natron of the president, which, In some cases, has been characterised as hasty and tll-advlsed. These matters were laid before the president briefly In a cable sent In be- I’ore he left the Isthmus Sunday, when he was asked If, In view of all these circumstances, the order should be car ried out. No reply has yet been re ceived. OLIVER SA YS NEGRO TROOPS ARE MENACE TO PEOPLE \ *• Washington, Nov. 20.—Regarding the ol-der of President Rooeevelt discharging negro soldiers composing three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, which order has been., temporarily suspendad by Secretary of War Taft, Acting Secretary of War Oliver says; "The three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were ordered dis charged because It Is not safe to have them In the army. They cannot be trusted, and for the protection of* tho public and the preservation, of the discipline of the army their discharge Is necessary. "The Idea seems to prevail that the men were ordered discharged be cause they refused to tell on their companions and - because they are black. Nothing could be further from the truth. These soldiers shot up a town. All of them refuse to tell anything about the disgraceful affair at Brownsville, .whlfch resulted In murder. The companies are shielding mur derers. .' "There aro men In the companies who are criminals of the worst sort. Every effort possible has been made by the war department to find the guilty men, but without avail. If these companies were permitted to remain In the service nnd were to shoot up another town And again en danger the llvey.of citizens, the war department would be In an Inde fensible position. It la Impossible to courtmartlal each of the men In these companies, for a charge cannot bo preferred against every one of the members of the companies. The government has no means of punishing the crimp except by discharging all of the men."

Herring’s TWO FOR ONE--- Drew Nude Picture and Is Nearly Mobbed by White Men. When Ed White, a negro student of art At Alorris-Brown negro college, attempted Monday night to sell the nude picture of a female which he had drawn he aroused the Ire of a crowd of white men about the entrance to tho gallery of the Bijou theater, In the alley In the rear of the theater and come near being mobbed. The quick action of Blcyrle Police man Pearson probably saved the negro from serious Injury. The officer, learning there was trouble In the rear of the theater, rushed Into the alley and took the artist Into custody, as the crowd was swarming about him and threatening vengeance. Even after the arrest the officer had considerable difficulty In getting Ilfs prisoner away from the crowd unharmed. The negro had in hls possession a book of drawings of various kinds, among whleh was one depicting the nude form of a white woman. The ar- tlst was trying to dlsposo of hls work among other negroes In tho alley, who were In the crowd waiting for the gal lery doors to open at ths time tho white men discovered him. On arraignment before Recorder, Broyles Tuesday morning White wus fined *15,76 and was warned not to draw any more such pictures. He promised he would not. Judge Broyles ordered the picture destroyed. STRIKE IS UNSETTLED FREIGHT IS TIED UP Cure (Vegetable.) y Harmless as "sage tea.” For sale jn Atlanta by Todd Drug Company, Grand Pharmacy,.
