, Washington, March H--The lnqul
, ry" by the Senate committee on mill
tary affalra' lnto tha facta connected
' with the affray at BrownsvUle. Texas,
which resulted In the discharge wlth
v out honor of 'a i battalion ; qX the
-Twenty-fifth Infantry, was resumed
Vto-dajr after 10 .days';; recess. ; The
Timbers of the committee j present
t. were ' Senators r Warren chairman;
Scott, Foraker, Lodge, . Hemenway,
Bulkeley, Warner, Foster", Pettus and
Overman. ,: ;, .
Joseph Henry Howard, formely of
Company D. testified that on the
night of the affray, ""August 13, he
went on guard at 1:80 o'clock, and his
post was around the barracks. About
midnight he heard two shots from the
town and then a fusllade. Witness was
asked by Mr. Foraker; "Were you In
position where you could have seen 15
or 20 men leave the barracks and
Jump over the wall if they had done
so?"
"Yes, sir," replied Howard. ,
. . "Did any men leave the barracks
and' Jump oyer the wall?" aBked Mr.
Foraker. y
"No, sir," the witness answered.
Cross-examination by Mr. Foster
further developed that' men could
easily have left the barracks and
climbed the wall while the sentry was
marching front of the barracks.
ONE OF MEN ARRESTED.
Howard testified that he was one of
the 12 men arrested for complicity In
the shooting, and that when the bal
ance of the troop prepared to leave
Brownsville, Major Penrose called t
the guard house and said:
"If you had told what you know
about this affair you would not be In
here. If you know anything about the
shooting you want to tell it."
The witness said he told all he
knew. Mr. Foraker had the charge
filed against the witness and asked
him If he had ever been given an op
portunity to plead to It. "No, sir."
was the reply. "Then I gave you the
chance now." said $lr. Foraker.
"What do you plead,"
"Not guilty," answered the witness
emphatically.
"I suppose, of course, you would
tell uS If you were guilty," commented
Mr. Overman, with sarcasm.
"Yes, sir, I would tell," said the
witness.
He then repeated that he had been
ready for trial at all times and al
ways had been willing to tell all be
knew of the shooting.
Alexander Ash, formerly a private
of Cpmpany D, testified that he was
on guard the night of the shooting, at
the post around the quartermaster's
storehouse and other buildings In that
vicinity. He eaid he heard two shots
from the county road and then horses
running toward Allison's saloon from
which direction he heard several more
shots. The balance of his testimony
was corroborative of that given by
other witnesses.
Joseph Rogers, of Company C, testi
fied that when the shooting occurred,
he was in the guardhouse reading a
novel. His direct testimony developed
little that was new, but on cross-examination
his statement made before Col.
Lovering was called to his attention.
In a statement Rogers said he was
asleep when the shooting occurred.
To-day he denied he had been asked
by Col. Lovering whether he was
awleep or awake. The committee ad
journed until 11 o'clork to-morrow
morning.

INQUIRY GOES OVER.
Hearing as to Contracts and Accounts
of New Pennsylvania Capitol Build
ing Halted Because of Illness of
the Consulting Engineer.
Harrlsburg, Pa., March 11. The
legislative Inquiry Into the new State
Capitol contracts and accounts,
which was begun here to-day, was
suddenly halted through the In
disposition of Bernard R. Green, of
Washington, D. C. consulting en
gineer of the capltol commission, the
principal witness. The hearing will
be resumed to-morrow. The Investi
gation grew out of allegations made
during the last State campaign that

charges and duplication of Items In
the ornamentation and equipment of
the building. The capltol was built un
der the direction of a capltol build
ing commission, at a cost of $4,000.

by the board of public grounds and
buildings, at a cost of nearly $9,000,
000, of which $2,000,000 was for
filing oases.
Among the things testified to by
MY. Oreen to-day was that In a re
port dated December 23, .1905, he
had called attention to a number of
changes In the original specifications
for the decorative work, flooring,
heating service, etc., which had been
made without his knowledge and
which differed from the specifica

Puerto Cortes, Honduras, March 7,
via New Orleans. March 11. Tele
grams describing the fighting of the
last few days between Honduras and
Nicaragua received here are to the
effect that the Hondurans hae cap
tured a number of advanced positions,
dislodging the Nlcaraguans and cap
turing large quantities of rifles, am
munition and stores. President Ho

under date of the 7th Iftstnnt, says:
"This morning; the Nicaraguan
forces, attempting) reprisal for our
capture of Namaslque yesterday, at
tacked our cavalry in Yusguaro, but
were repulsed. Every one i.f these
brilliant charges augments tl.i en
thusiasm of our forces."

gram from Tegucigalpa:
"The presence of the President at

plaintiff, as "next friends" of Mrs.
Eddy, to the blft in equity brought
to secure an accounting of her
property against leaders of the
Christian Science Church.

Foster-Eddy says In his petition that
he has "become convinced that Mrs.
Eddy Is, and for a long time has
been. Incapable of intelligently con
ducting or receiving an account of
her business and property, and that
the same Is being manngc-d wholly
by the defendants, who are giving
proper accounting thereof."
He believed, he said In his petition,
that Mrs. Eddy is virtually a prisoner
In her own house; that she Is kept
fecluded by the defendants, Frye
and others, and that she is not capa
ble, under all her conditions, of
managing her own business.

A Capital Sliow. , ,
As Is always the case when Marie
Cahlll comes to town, the Academy
watl packed last night to see "Marry
ing Mary' which Itself aal packed
with every variety of foolery, , wit,
and humor. The plot '.teemed with
ludicrous situations, and the cast was
so 'chosen , as' to. meet every' one
completely.- From ! the rising - ot the
curtain to the falling of the same
every moment was lively. The crowd
laughed Itself almost Into hysterics.
Miss Cahlll has. mastered the art
of naturalness to a ' finish. Her
coon song, "He's a Cousin o' Mine,"
was the finest; thing of the evening.
The way she dropped her voice in the
choVus to say, "He's been a-comln'
here ' eight er ten yurs," was Incom
parable, when you were there to see
her great big eyes and to get the con
trast between the half-tone and the
usual lyrlo soprano. But all she did
and said, her costumes, and her of
fice as hub of the show-all was Ini
mitable. It was hard ' to choose between
Senator Bunchgrass and Col. Culpep
per for second place. The colonel's
mellow, marvelous basa voice, his
pomposity, and his family pride so
inconsistent with his personal history,
his solo singing won his audience;
his "Do re ml fa sol la el do" duet
with Miss Cahlll was encored about
forty times: but the Senator!
The i Senator's combination of
knight with knave beat the band.
He was one of the heroine's ex-husbands.
All his poses were good, but
the beat thing he did was to assume
that expression of countenance when
be brought lh to marry him to the
heroine the- same preacher who had
tried to marry her himself and who
had married her to another man the
day before. He had many troubles,
and bore them; but when the her
oine's husband told him that he was
a disgrace "even to the United States
Senate," he burst Into tears. He
stood for everything until that was
said on him. He rang the bell too
many times to enumerate.
The peracher, Willie Drink water,
the Morman Bishop, Olmsby Kulpep
per, the fortunate among losers,
Kitty, his sister, M. Archambeau, the
hotellst they were each of them all
that their parts would stand for.
There was an epilogue to It, recited
by Miss Cahlll and heard attentatlvo
ly. While the final chorus was be
ing sung, Miss Cahlll threw carna
tions into the crowd and the men
nearest the footlights struggled to
catch them. One fortunato young
man, when he had grasped one, put
It In his note-book, muttering,
"Here it will lie, crumpled between the
pages,
Crowded fold on fold:
Once It lay upon her breast, and ages
cannot mane it old.
The only adverse criticism to be
made of the performance is one for
which nobody by nature Is responsi
ble: the chorus girls were as long
and lean as' 'Cindy. Their drills,
however, were graceful, their songs
tuneful, their voices melodious, their
ankles shapely, and nil one hud to I
do to get a perfect effect was to keep
one s eyes on meir laces.
