IDAHO SENATOR
ON BROWNSVILLE
Borah Takes Issue Squarely
Willi Foraker and Defends
Administ ration's Course
CERTAIN BLACKS DID IT
Any Oilier View Deliberate In
sult to SeMespe
Colored Men of Country
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
. Washington, April 20 Senator
Borah, of Idaho, one of the younger
members of the senate, who has not
yet won his spurs in congress, but
who has achieved a reputation in hi?
own part of the country as a trained
lawyer and a speaker of force and
ability, came to the defense of the
president In the debate on the
Brownsville case today.
Senator Borah raised a square is
sue with Senator Foraker, of Ohio,
made light of the attempt to make
the evidence support the contention
that the soldiers of the 25th did not
do the shooting, and struck: some
sledge-hammer blows in the defense
of the administration's course. He
characterized the rioting at Browns
ville as treason, and said that any
form of compromise with it would
be tin outrage.
lie declared it cowardice to tem
porize with the Brownsville crime,
and an insult to every 'intelligent and
right-thinking colored man, ' for it
presupposed he was a criminal and a
traitor. He continued: v
"Another thing to which I desire
to direct your attention before dis
cussing the evidence is the fact that
judgment was passed upon the sol
diers by their own officers."
The speaker made quotations from
the reports of Major Penrose and
from the testimony of Lieut. Greer
and Can't. Mackland, wherein they
believe the raid to have been made by
members of the 25th infantry. Con
tinuing, the senator said:
"It must be borne in mind, also,
that at the time these officers made
those statements they had full knowl
edge of the question of gunracks.
full knowledge of the. question of
ammunition, full knowledge of all
theso things which are now relied
on as a defense: and I think they
were fully satisfied that tho men
were guilty.
"Another thing that should be re
membered at this time is that when
tho president dismissed these men no
one, neither friend or foe, nssumed
that anyone was guilty of the raid
other than the soldiers.
"I can conceive of no greater mis
take toward the negro," said the sen
ator, "than to connive at his en
croachment upon the law feeling
that appetite for lawlessness which,
strange to say, lurks in the system
of all races nnd demands as the high
est function of a self-respecting na
tion the most vigilant citizen and the
most prompt and unqualified and
constant restraint.
"Men wearing tho uniform of a
soldier of the union, the insignia of
government and the symbol of law
and order in the quiet of the night,
whilo homes are defenseless, assault
and attempt to murder whole fami
lies, and finally succeed in commit
ting one murder. To compromise
with such an act or such a deed is
cowardice; it is betrayal of govern
ment; it is an insult to every intel
ligent and right-thinking negro, for
it presupposes he is a traitor to his
country and a criminal at heart."

Taft and Carnegie at
Grant Memorial flay
(By Leased Wire to The Times) I
New York, April 20. That smile
of Secretary Taft's stood him in good
stead last night at the Metropolitan
Temple, where, with Andrew Carne
gie, he appeared to assist In the dedi
cation of a peace memorial window
in the celebration of the birthday of
Ulysses S. Grant.,
With it he salved the anguish and
poulticed the pain of many a citizen
and citizeness whoso toes were
wedged in the narrow hallway back
of the church through which the big
secretary had to make his way.
Growls and abjurations might have
fallen at the heels of a less amiable
person, but there was no resisting
that smile of Taft.
SIGN LIABILITY?
gross of His Inanity
to Approve It
(By Leased Wire to The Times) '-:
Washington, D. C, April 20. In all
probability,; President- Uoosevi-lt early
this week wi'l signify to congress that
he. cannot si-n the employers, .liability-
bill recently passed. J lis refusal to
approve it will be bused on the belief,
bucked by the opinion of Attouney-Gen-
rul Bonaparte, that the bill is uncon
stitutional. Mr. Bonaparte has been
making, at the direction of the presl-
lent, a most careful examination of
the measure. There Is t he highest 'au
thority- for the statement that the at
torney-general Is disposed to find the
measure will not stand the constitut
ional, test of the supreme court. In
that case,' it may be vetoed or It may
be simply recalled by congress. In or
der to .make ..'necessary --'corrections of
the defects which tho attorney-general
lias discovered.
The objection Is based on the fact
that the bill was made to apply only
to interstate carriers by railway; This
constituted'- n discrimination against
one class of interstate carriers, which
nilpht easily be viewed by the su
preme court as class legislation and,
therefore, unconstitutional.
It is bv no. means certain that even
the criticisms of the attorney-general
and the objections of the president will
readily. convince fm legislative author
ities that the bill needs any change.
They have' been Insistent on passing
the measure in the form in wtucn it
went to the president.

that it created great surprise there,

For Recent Decisions
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
.New York, April 20. President
Samuel Gompers sounded the key
note of the protest campaign inaugu
rated by the American Federation of
Labor in mass-meetings throughout
the country demanding remedial leg
islation from the present congress, to
a cheering crowd of 3,000 workers In
Grand Central Palace last night.
Denying the use of threats against
the highest legislative body of the
country, President Gompers reaf
firmed as a "prediction" that the de
feat of labor's demands would result
in the formation of oathbound industrial-political
powers to vote for men
who would work to restore the liber
ties of the working people.
It was a meeting of protest, dl-
rected'-'akainst -the - United States su-
1)rerae court as well as congress,
"I will not tolerate, nay, I will
'resent. 'anv imputation that our liigh-
est court j,ag Deen prompted by any
dishonest or sordid motive," shouted
the cpeaker. "But It remains a-act

Blu.cesses as lawyers and jurists; and
what the world some times regards
as successful lawyers and jurists are
men whose very rearing, education
and environment are not in accord
with the spirit of the times.
"They are but human, like you

man beings; the highest official of
