TUNNEL AND SUBWAY SYSTEM
CONNECTIMQ HOBOKEN AND
NEW YORK OPENED.
New York, Feb. 25.— A tunnel and
snbway system connecting Hoboken
and New York City by tubes under the
Hudson river was formally opened to-
day when President Roosevelt pressed
a button in Washington, thus starting
an official train from New York to Ho-
boken. The train carried the gover-
nors of New York and New Jersey and
officials of the three cities interested to
the new station of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western railroad in Hoboken
where exercises were held In celebration
of the beginning of the operation of the
new system. A letter from President
Roosevelt was read and speeches were
delivered by the two governors and
several city officials.
Promptly at midnight a train left the
Xinteeuth streef station and exactly at
the same moment another left the Hol-
land terminal, and use of the new sys
tern by the traveling public began.

California Congressmen's Plan to
Prevent Roe* Conflict.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Representa
tive Hayes and ReprwV^tift Kahn of
California today argued before the
house committee on foreign affairs in
favor of the Hayes bill to regulate the
coming into and the residence within
the United States of Chinese, Japanese,
Koreans, Hindoos and others of the
Mongolian or Asiatic race. They said
the only way to effectively stop the im
migration of these people is by an abso
lute prohib tion enactment. They it •
sisted that the arts of diplomacy never
would correct the evil. They agreed
with Foreign Minister Hayashi of Japan
that the trouble lay with the iramigra
tion companies, who they said have be
hind them vast suras of money with
which to carry on their work.
HATFIELD FUOIST DIES.
Ho Had Been Bound to ■ Tree by
Enemies In tho Mowutalns.
Louisville, Feb. 25.—A special from
Louisa says that Tom Hatfield, who was
caught by feud enemies in the moun
tains along Trigg river, in West Vir-
ginia, two weeks ago, bound to a tree
and left to die from exposure, died at a
hospital there, having been found by a
traveler and brought to Louisa from
West Virginia. Both legs were
badly frozen that physicians amputated
them.
Hatfield was a member of the Hat
Held clan in the Hatfield McCoy feud,
and members of the Hatfield clan are
vowing vengeance. Hatfield did not
recover sufficiently to tell who the men
were who captured and bound him.
Sscrotary of Agriculture Indorses
Kansas Congieisman'a Plan.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Secretary Wil-
son of the agricultural department to-
dao gave his hearty endorsement to the
plan devised by Congressman Scott of
Kansas, chairman of the house commit-
tee on agriculture, to establish 100 small
demonstration farms in each county in
the agricultural states. He says it will
take some years to develop the system,
but that it is surely coming.
Mr. Scott's idea is to extend the sys-
tem gradually. When completed there
will be a district manager- for several
states, a state superintendent and an
overseer in each countv. The countv
overseers will be composed of high
grade farmers. The district managers
and state superintendents will be ex-
perts from the department. Scott says
the farms ought to be done first, of
course, where the need is greatest and
just now that condition undoubtedly
exists in the Southern states, where the
invasion of the cotton boll weevil threat-
ens the only crop which the people in
those states have ever tried to raise.
Already the department has entered
into co-operation with hundreds of farm-
ers in each of half a dozen states, show-
ing them and their neighbors either
how to raise cotton in spite of the boll
weevil or how to make a living with
other crops than cotton. Mr. Scott be-
lieves that within ten yeais at the out-
side the entire agricultural section of
the country will be honeycombed with
small demonstration farms.
DISMISSAL OF BUCKS IS UPHELD,
SENATE COMMITTEE FIXES BLAME
FOR BROWNSVILLE SHOOTINO
ON NESRO REGIMENT.
Washington, Feb. 25.—That the
shooting affray at Brownsville, Tex., on
the night of August 13-14, 1906, was
done by some negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth United States infantry and
that the testimony taken before the sen-
ate committee on military affairs fails
to identify the guilty persons is the
opinion of eight members of the com-
mittee. Four members of the comrait-
j tee voted against this decision and one
member did not vote. The resolution

Endorse Taft In the Second.
Alva, Okla., Feb. 26.-The Second District Congressional con-
vention today almost unanimously endorsed Secretary Taft and on
the floor of the convention the delegates were instructed to vote
for Taft first, last and all the time.
The fight for Taft was led by Dennis Flynn of Oklahoma City.
Some little opposition developed, led by Dr. Threadgill, but it did
not become formidable.

submitted by Senator Lodge and was
adopted after five resolutions by Sena-
tor Foraker, one by Senator Dupont
and one by Senator Scott, all of which
were offered as substitutes, had been
voted down.
The vote today was reached after pro-
longed investigation extending over two
sessions of congress and after evidence
had been taken covering thousands of
pages. Practically every negro of the
three companies of infantry dishonor-
ably discharged by President Roosevelt
testified in his own behalf, while evi-
dence in support of the president was
given by many army officers and citi-
zens of Brownsville. Throughout the
entire controversy, which in many sec-
tions of the country had been made a
political issue, the anti-administration
side has been directed by Senator For-
aker. In the final vote in the commit-
tee a majority of the republican mem-
bers came to his support. The Ohio
senator expressed himself as gratified at
this, as it was apparent from the out-
set that all of the democratic members
were convinced that the negroes did the
shooting.

Wants to Bs Shot At In Turrst of
Monitor.
Washington, Feb. 25. Another can-
didate who is willing to go into the tur-
ret of the monitor Florida when it is
shot at by a shell from the Arkansas,
according to the naval program, has
sent his name to the navy department,
although the officials decline to give his
name or address. He prefers to enlist
for the purpose for two weeks on!y, as
he has a wife and two children to care
for and when the test is over wants to
return to his usual occupation. The de-
partment regards his offer as a com-
mendable one, but the determination
has been reached not «o put any human
beings in the turret when the firing
takes place.

BEAN FAMINE IN BOSTON.
Home Crops Short, Franco Rsfusss
Continued Imports From Thsro.
Boston, Feb. 24 —Boston is on the
verge of a bean panic. A real famine
in the Saturday night and Sunday morn-
ing breakfast edible is right at thedoor
say the commission merchants.
Practically no beans were grown in
New England last vear. For some rea
son or another the whole crop was a
failure. Then there was a big shortage
in the California crop and the price
there was made prohibitive.
Three months ago merchants began
importing the delicacy from France.
That was well enough for a time, but
now France says she wants her ovn
beans, and the growers there have
served notice that no more can he sold.
It looks bad for Boston.
