Si Guaranty Company ABSTRACTORS
Dallas. Tex., Aug. 20. Following: a farther appeal frcm the oKicials and citizens of Broviisvillo, United States Senator Culberson Las appealed to the war department for pro:npt investigation and Imicediate action in the situation In the southwest Texas city. lie has set a telegram to General Ains-
telegraphic coniniunicatian. with the
commanding ofiicers at the? post and a removal of the colored troops from
Fort Brown, deeming this the only
means to bring peace, ilis telegram to the Avar department is in part as follows: ,
"Who Is Going to ltiot? "Since the receipt of your telegram of yesterday officials and citizens of
Brownsville have wired me again to the effect that there is danger of further riot and bloodshed at Brownsville unless the negro troops are immediateb' removed." The senator entertains the fear that the war department anil the president do not fully appreciate the gravity of the situation. He hopes to have advices Indicating that the department will relieve the situation, without delay. Colored Troops Must Go. Major A. P. Blockton, United States array inspector general of the southwestern division, has arrived at Brownsville to investigate the recent outrage committed by federal negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, stationed at Fort Brown. Typewritten
copies of all the testimony taken by the citoens' committee last week were turned over to the inspector general, who will continue his inquiries at the fort. While it is believed that no further trouble is likely for the present, at least, the citizens of Brownsville are as determined as ever that the negroes shall not remain at this station. Negroes To Be Scurried Away. San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 20. General W. E. liicC'askey, commanding the department of Texas, has made a recommendation to the war department that the negTO troops at Brownsville
and elsewhere Along the Rio Grande
n Texas be Immediately withdrawn.
This Information is obtained from an
authentic source. The recommendation further suggests that the forts uoav
garrisoned with negro solders of the
I'wenty-tifth infantry be left without
garrison in the Interim before their re-
f can be sent. Army officers have doubt their recommendation will be
followed at once by the war department.
Right to Vote Is the First Demand ... Wanted Now and Evermore Slap at Pooker T. Washington.
TIarper's Ferry, W. Va., Aug. 20. The second annual meeting of the Niagara Movement came to a close with religious exercises and a sermon by Bev. G. Frasier Miller. At the conelusion of the sermon an address to the country was read. It says in part: Xefjro Hater's Work Flourishes. "The men of the Niagara Movement, coming from the toil of the year's hard work and pausing a moment from the earning of their family bread, turn toward the nation and again ask In the name of ten million the privilege of a hearing. In the past year the work
of the negro hater has flourished in the land. Stripped of verbiage and subterfuge, and in its naked nastiness the new American creed says: Fear to let black men even try to rise lest they become the equals of the white. Bight to Vote Is Demanded. "In detail our demands are clear and unequivocal. First, we would vote; with the right to vote goes everything: Freedom, manhood, the honor of your wives, the chastity of your daughters:, the right to work, and the chance to rise, and let no man listen to the liars who deny this. We want full manhood suffrage, and we waut it now, henceforth and forever. Protest Against Discrimination. "Second, we want discrimination in public accommodations to cease. Separation in railway and streetcars, based simply on race and color. Is un-American, undemocratic, and silly. We protest against all such discrimination. Third, we claim the right of free men to walk, talk and be with them that jwish to be with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends, and to attempt to do so is an impudent
interference with the most fundamental human privilege.
WAS COSTLY IK LIVE3 Collision of Freight and Worls: Trains Results in Seven Death and. 2Iore Likely. Johnstown, Pa, Aug. 20.-Ttoguic through a blinding rain at the rate of forty-floe miles an hour a fast freight train on thu FennsylTania railroad, crashed into a slowly moving -work train at Sang Hollow, killing seven and seriously injuring seven others of tho work train crew. Three of the latter will probably die. Engineer Wood was the only member cf the crew on the
freight that was injured. The thick rain prevented the engineer of the freight from seeing the work train in time to stop. The freight lo
comotive telescoped the work train cars, catching. all the men asleep. Those killed probably never knew what hurt them. The cars took fire, and the cries of the wounded were heartrending. One of the wounded wanted to be killed, saying he could not live anyway, and asking that his wife be not told, as she was away on her vacation "and it would be a shame for me to spoil things for her."

Man Who Was Suspected Is Detained
Several Hours Out in British Columbia. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 20. 'A stran
ger who was suspected of being Paul O. Stensland, the fugitive president of the failed Milwaukee Avenue State
hank, of Chicago, and who wa3 detained several hours at Midway, B. C,
for that reason, has been permitted
to go his way. The constable at Midway stated that the man and the young woman who accompanied him did not correspond to the descriptions sent outTby the Chicago police of Stens
land and the woman who is supposed to have accompanied him. The Dro-
vincial officers concluded a mistake had been made, and decided to drop the matter. The man under suspicion arrived with the young woman at Midway several days ago. K. P. Noe, manager cf a bank at Midway, came to the conclusion that the man was Stensland, and notified the officers of his suspicions. The stranger, who gave the name of Montgomery, said he was a mining man from Los Angeles.

Particularly the Enforcement of the Two Amendments.
I ourth, we want the laws enforced against rich as well as poor; against
capitalist as weli as laborer; against white as well as black. We are not
mere lawless than the white race, but
we are more often arrested, convicted
and mobbed. We want justice even
for criminals and outlaws. We want
the constitution of the country en
forced. W e want congress to take
charge of congressional elections. We
want the fourteenth amendment car
ncd out to the letter and everv state
disfranchised in congress which at
tempts to disfranchise its rightful vot
ers. We want the fifteenth amend- ! ment enforced and no state allowed to bae its franchise simply on color. The
failure of the Republican party in congress at the session just closed to redeem its pledge of 1004 with reference to suffrage conditions at the south seems a plain, deliberate and premedi
tated breach of promise, and stamps that party as guilty of obtaining votes
under false pretense.
"Fifth, we want the national gov
ernment to wipe out illiteracy in the
south. We want our children trained
as intelligent human beings should b.
an we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. "These are some of the chief things which we want. How shall we get them? By voting where we may vote, by persistent, unceasing agitation; by hammering at the truth, by sacrifice and work. We do not believe in violence, but we do believe in John Brown, and here on the scene of John Brown's martyrdom we reconsecrate ourselves, our honor, our property, to the final emancipation of the race which John Brown died to make free. The address closes with an appeal to "the young men and women of the nation, and asks "Cannot the nation that has absorbed 10,000,000 foreigners into its political life without catastrophe absorb 10,000,000 Negro-Americans into that same political life at leas cost than their unjust and illegal exclusion will involve'
A resolution was adopted urging
voters to question every candidate for
congress as to his attitude on the fourteenth amendment and to refuse support to such as will not positively
i promise to support its enforcement
