ftbout to ttncover the real perpetrat-
ynxt nr h. Hmo Tho ' nannrt nf
brs of the crime. The ' report '
special Investigator ""'Herbert " J,
Brown, transmitted to the senate yes
terday contains, the, confession. of one
of the men, ' Boyd Congers, that he
with four others were the leaders in
the raid on Brownsville. : The con-,
resslon was .. obtained last- June
through a detective and was partly
corroborated in the presence of wit
nesses, but before the detective could
finish his work Congers became sus
piciousvand refused to give any fur
ther 'evidence ' incriminating himself.
However, other detectives, including
Mr. Brown, later got further infor
mation from Congers.
' After Congers discovered .that he
had made his confession to a detect
ive be. tried to commit Bulclde, declar
ing the other negroes would kill him.
Failing in this he wrote to Senator
Foraker and received a 'reply whlcli
he "construed to mean that he should
, stick to his original story, told before
the senate1" committee, at all hazards,
and there he stands." But Mr.. Brown
says he has every reason (o believe
the first confession is genuine and
"gives for the first time the-, true se
cret history of the Brownsville raid."
.' Besides the Foraker letter the 're
port says that there are evidences of
similar encouragement from, other
sources tb "stick to - the lies told at
Brownsville' and before -the senate
committee." ' '. V'
, 'As to the extent of the work being
done" by the department to get at the
exact truth, the report says that "we
have located over 130 of 'these ex
sbldiers and ' have been in thirty
states in quest of information." , The
: results in entirety are submitted
with the report. But the. work fs not
finished and the department will con
tinue, in its efforts to secure direct
evidence.'-, -':.' '-v -V'
Submitting the report, the presi
dent,, who has all. along been con
aistent Jn this matter, says:
"This report enables us to fix with

clearly the fact that the colored sol
diers did r the shooting; but upon this
point further record was unnecessary,
as the fact that the colored soldiers
did the shooting has already been es
tablished beyond all possibility of
doubt.' The investigation has not
gone far'enougU to enable us to de-
. termine all the facts, and we will pro

enough tp determine with sufficient
accuracy certain facts of enough , im

concerned in the shooting, either to
the extent of being participants or
to the extent of virtually encouraging
those who were participants; As to

question that practically every man
in them must have had knowledge

Arkansas' new governor, Mr
George W. Donaghey, gives promise
or. troreg great tnings ior nis state.
He is going about the duties of nis
oQlCfi in..a D.usinesslike and' thorough
mdm? er-jand. nla methods are- attract
ing' a great deal ' of attention, . -'not
alone- because they are unusual and
s.o different from the program usually
followed, but because of their very
soundness. . : !
'; Arkansas, after going the way of
most' states' politically,' being," per
haps better than' some and worse
than . mothers, decided to. make , a
change and Instead of having a polit
itaVisdhiinlHiration' 1 have a busi
ness adminls'tratlon,, with' . the . devel
opment of the state's great resources
as the dominant fclea; The World's
Work for December tells, editorially,
Of the outcome of this' determination
on the part of the people for a" more
nroereesive administration of the
states 'affairs.! ' " ':'. ;:
. Responding to the public sentiment
Mr. Donaghey entered the race before
the primary, was nominated by a
large majority and elected in Septem
ber. . ;.
Mr. Donaghey is classed as a "self
made" man. He began life as a car
penter, became a ; contractor and
builder on a large scale, made money
and is now estimated to be worth
half a million dollars. His conduct
through all .his tqpney-making has
befen such that not a word can be said
agaln8t h,m; " the contrary, even
those who oppose him declarcbim to
be ot Irreproachable character and of
imselftatt purpose, while his sound
business judgment is admitted by all.
Suclt in brief le the platform, which
the' democrats : Of " Arkansas have
adopted as a guide for the future and
the man whom they have chosen to
carry it Into effect
The story as to how he has gone!
about the work in. the few months
he has had to work in since the elec

the work his people have called him
to do. :;.-:; t: :,.: ';.': :

He refused to compromise the railroad-rate

The courts granted an injunction
