Didn't Know The-e Was a "Chid Amans Them Takin' Notes" Man in Trouble Who Sold the Harriman Letter. Washington, April 5 It is said on authority at the White House that there is ample evidence at hand for the opinion the president holds that there is a movement afoot to defeat his policies in the next congress and in the next national convention. It i3 declared that the "Hearst-IIarriman-llockefeller combination" has already a fund of $3,000,000 with which to carry on its campaign In opposition to the president. It was further authoritatively said: Extends Across the Continent. "They are gathering the loose ends, but the movement will flatten out. It is apparent in Ohio and Pennsylvania; in fact It extends across the entire continent. Tht scheme was thoroughly divulged at a recent dinner and reached the White House through a friend of the president. The scheme of the people behind the movement la to buy newspapers, public men and others who may assist the opponents of the president in their work." Plan of the Schemers Outlined. It was also stated authoritatively at the White House that part of the plan to encompass the defeat of the president's policy is the election of state delegations to the national convention, from those states known to favor the president, these delegates to be In structed for President Roosevelt notwithstanding knowledge in advance that the president will not be a candidate for renomination. Then, according to the staetment made, these delegates, upon the president declining to be a candidate for renomination as he has said he would decline are to consider themselves free, and are to be switched over to some opponent of the president and the policies for which ho is standing. OTHER IIEAHTS AliK TO ACHE Harriman Iietter Brings Trouble on the Man "Who Sold It. New York, April 5. Frank W. Hill, a stenographer, has .been arrested charged with having sold to a newspaper a personal letter of E. II. Harriman. The warrant was sworn to by Alexander Millar, secretary of the Union Pacific Railroad company, of which Harriman is the president, and was served by a detective from the district attorney's offlce. Hill was locked up at police headquarters. The letter in question was addressed by Ilarrl man to Sydney Webster, and was first published here by The World last Tuesday morning. Statements therein contained called forth a reply from Presi dent Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon. Hill is 37 years of age and lives la Brooklyn. Action against him was tak en under the section of the penal code which defines as a misdemeanor the act of "a person who willfully and without authority either takes a letter, telegram or private paper belonging to another, or a copy thereof, and publishes the whole, or any portion there of." Assistant District Attorney Paul Krotel has charge of the case, and it is said that the arrest will, it is believed, discourage the publication of letters or anotner prominent man which, according to report, recently had been offered for sale.

BROWNSVILLE AG1

How Major Penrose Doubt That His Were Guilty. Came Men to IMPOSSIBLE ST0EIES WERE TOLD Testimony of an Officer Who Made Tests Could Not Believe What Brownsville Citizens Had Testified. Washington, April o. After Major Charles W. Penrose, who was com mander of the negro troops at Brownsville, completed his testimony the senate committee on military affairs examined two of the officers who made tests at Fort Mcintosh to determine whether it was possible to distinguish between white, negro and Mexican soldiers, wearing uniforms, on moonlight or starlight nights. The conclusion of these officers was that such a thins: is Impossible, and they asserted that n making their tests they made the conditions as near as possible like the conditions were said to be at Browns ville on the night of the shooting. The bearing of this is that citizens of Brownsville swore freely that they Identified the men shooting up tho town as negro soldiers. When Penrose Changed His Mind. Major Tenrose was cross-examined by Senator Warner. The witness havng testified that on the morning folowlng the shooting he believed his men were guilty, but that he was now convinced that the men were Innocent, he was asked: "When did you change your opinion on the question of wheth er your men had been Implicated in the shooting?" "At about the conclu. sion of my court martial two weeks ago," replied Major Penrose. He Doubted the "Witnesses. Responding to a request that he state what fact caused him to reach the be lief that his men were innocent the major said that few witnesses had been able to state to his satisfaction that they had seen soldiers in town during the shooting. lie said, that wita nesses attempted to tell distances at which they recognized soldiers and distinguished uniformed men, which he declared to be absolutely impossible on that night, as it was very dark. The major added to this explanation that his mind had been undergoing a change for some time before. Still More Doubt Thereon. The doubt of the veracity or relia bility of the witnesses expressed by Major Penrose was accentuated later when Lieutenant Blythe, who was one of the officers who made the tests as to identification at night, was asked by Senator Overman: "If ten respectable citizens of Brownsville were to come here and say they saw negro soldiers running through the streets on the night of the shooting affray, fir ing as they ran, would you think they were telling the truth?" The witness replied that he would know now that they couldn't be. PITTSBURG'S NOBILITY ROLL Old Town Turns on the Carpers Who Have Been Saying Things About Her Great Men. Pittsburg, April 5.
