GETS EVIDENCE
FOR HIS SPEECH
Letters Written by Wives
of Army Officers to
Figure In Debate.
Washington, Dec. 26.—"I think that
the atory about what the president in
tends to do is too silly to talk About,
and you must excuse me from discuss.
In* it.”
Senator Foraker made this state
ment when his attention was railed to
the published stories of President
Roosevelt's determination to resist con
gressional action looking to the resto
ration of the discharged negroes of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry as a result of the
Brownsville riot, to the military serv
ice, even to the extent of welcoming
Impeachment proceedings against him.
Foraker 8eeks Evidence.
The senator returned yesterday from
New York, where he has been two or
three days on business, which, accord
ing to the understanding in Washing
ton, was connected with the case of
the discharged negro aoldiers.
It Is said that the aenator conferred
with officiate 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
those of the president and Secretary
Taft.
Letters To Be Submitted.
It la understood that some of the new
evidence which Senator Foraker will
cause to be‘presented to the 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 form of letters
written 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 to
that time.
The writers of these letters are said
to have asserted. In effect, that the peo
ple of Brownsville were of such a char
acter as to make it necessary for the
women of the post to practically make
themselves prisoners In tlielr quarters,
• because they feared to go about tile
streets of the town.

WHY NOT KEEP THIS AT HOME?
(Copyright, 1906. by W. R. Hearst.)
Mrs. Corlnne 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 pn>ce»s. The Kei-
seys have been murried for 10
and recently have come to
the conclusion that they may not
be as happy as they should' be.
They have, therefore, agreed tn*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 u great deal of interest by
tljelr friends.

"Twenty different times I have wit
nessed the observance of Christmas In
Atlanta, and Christmas this year was
the quietest and most orderly of them
all."
This statement was made Wednesday
morning to a Georgian reporter by
Chief of Police Jennings, as he ex
pressed his Intense pleasure at the
derly manner In which Christum*
celebrated In Atlanta Tuesday.
"Christmas, 1906, 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 w
remarkable and 1 think the jieople of
Atlanta should feel proud. The police
all did good work, the i»eople of the
city showed no desire to disturb th
peace and serenity of the occasion, an.
all In kll It was a sublime celebration
of a beautiful holiday.”
Chief Jennings was determined that
the day should not be marred by dis
order and he and his men were on th**
alert to prevent any poeslble outbreak.
But there was none. It was a day of
peace and quiet and plenty—more like
Hunday than the ordinary observant
of Christmas In previous years.
But One Accident.
Another striking feature of the ncca
slon is the fact that but one Christmas
accident of any character was reported
to the police or at the Grady hospital.
This single instance was the deplorable
tragedy of Christmas morning, when
Miss Tymna Freeman, the 16-y
stenographer, was fatally shot by her
uncle, E. 8. Larrimore, at .18 Strong
street. The wounded girl was taken
to the hospital, where she died shortly
after noon.
The corps of hospital physicians are
usually overworked at Christina*, at
tending to accidents of various kinds
and people shot and cut In fight* and
brawls, but this year they weie given a
rest, due to the surprising luck of dis
order and accidents.
At the police station a total of ulio'it
176 cases were docketed between Mon
day noon and Wednesday morning.

• Thomson, Oa., Dec. 26.—In his speech
before the recent meeting of the Farm
ers' I’nlon In McDuffie county Hon.
Thomas R Watson, who was one of the
principal speakers, gave the union his
heftrty support, and took occasion, to
criticise Harvle Jordan, of the .South
ern Cotton Association, anil demanded
to know why Jordan did not resign the
office he holds.
. In concluding his address, Mr. Wat
son said:
"Harvle Jordan contends that lie will
bring spinner and grower together. I
would like to know* how he can do It.
If the spinner Is so anxious to come
Into the union of the cotton grower,
why dues not the spinner tuke the cot
ton grower Into his associations? (Ap-
pluuse.) That Is a question which I
venture to say Harvle cannot answer,
Just as I have asked him some other
questions, you know, (loud laughter),,
which he has not been able to answer.”
Mr. Watson, continuing, suld that
when he was a younger man he had the
young man's natural ambition for of
fice, but thut was u long time ago and
he no longer wanted any office under
the sun. lie had found other work that
suited him better.
"When I came buck from New Or
leans. where ! had gone to assure the
farmers of the South of my earnest de
sire to co-o|>erate with them for the
Imnrovemem of their condition, a
newspaper writer, signing himself
’Farmer.' began to clamor for my res
ignation. saying thnt my connection
with the Southern Cotton Growers’ As
sociation wns an embarrassment to It.
This continued until I felt the embar
rassment, and I passed tny resignation
up to Harvle Jordan to give him the
chance to say whether or not he
thought more of me and my services
than he did of the anonymous news- I
»* i**er scribbler. He promptly accepted I think I
the resignation, and so I fell out of the I count on me,
farmers’ movement.
"I notice thut Harvle Jordan Is be
ing criticised In the newspapers ten
times more severely than that anony
mous Hcribbltr who signed himself
'Former' criticised me. The Southern
Cotton Growers' Association Is Im
mensely more embarrassed by the
thing* thut have been proved on Har
vle Jordan than anything that was
proved on me by that scribbler who
signed himself 'Farmer.' But I notice
that Harvle Jordan Is not resigning
anything to relieve the Cotton Associa
tion of embarrassment. (Great laugh
ter and applause.)
As I suld. 1 do not know whether It
would be best for you for me to be
come a member of your association.
Possibly I can serve you better from
the outside. Just as I did In the days
of the Alliance. Be sure of this: That
