discussion at a luncheon given by the of-
ganiiatlon here Tkorsday declared the
society had been Informed that the United

dence of America's determination to pro-
tect herself."

shot by direction of the military authori-
ties of the United States since the be-
ginning of the war. At least two of the

SAN ANTJONIO Texas Jan. 24. New
testimony discovered in the Investigation
of the Houston riot of August 23 will re-
sult In 'between' SO and 4f more negroes
facing death charges before an army
oourt. ' i . -
These charaes. which will be completed
1n a few days will bring the total num
ber who have faced capital charges in
connection with the. riot to over 100.
Sixty-four men faced such charges in
the first court martial 13 of them being
bung and 43 sent to prison for life; 16
faced death charges In the second trial
five of theTn being under death penalty
now unexecuted to wait the president's
approval or disapproval of the verdict.

he new charges in many Instances will
inst men wno at . first gave sucn
satisfactory accounts of their movements
on that night that they were considered
''in the clear."
ALIBIS SEEM TO
HAVE BEEN SHATTERED.
Investigations in the cases already tried
have brought to light that matters which
have shattered the apparently valid alibis
of many and the new charges of murder
and mutiny will be the result.
Additonal courts martial for the trial
of minor charges growing out of tbe
night's disturbances have been under con-
sideration from the first. It is only since
the beginning of the first court martial
that the new death charges have been
contemplated.
Major d. v. sutpntn wno returned mis
week from El Paso where further Inves-
tigations were conducted among the
members of the 24th United States in-
fantry detained there. Is now at work
on the new charges. The charges will
be In connection wltn tne portion of tne
rioting between 'the 24th infantry camp
and the city of Hourton as were the
charges In the first court martial.- The
charges at the second court martial were
oased on the Killing oi m. an. jones Be-
tween Camp Logan and the 24th infantry
camn. The minor charges of disobedience
and felonious aasault which were a part
of the charges In the first court martial
will not De included in tne contemplated
charges.
MAY HAVE DIFFERENT
PROCEDURE.
As the trial will not be held before
February 1 the defendants. If convicted
and given death penalties may have a
still different procedure than any of those
yet tried.
Tne first i were naneeo witnout rei
erence 'beyond the commanding general
of the Southern department; the five now
under sentence have had their cases re
ferred to the president under the 61st
article of war. The new order to become
effective February l. provides mat or
ders of executions carrying out a death
penalty shall not be issued until arter
the case has been revised bv the office
of the Judge advocate general or one of
the proposed branches that are to be
established. Such a branch already has
been established in France for review of
cases arising In the expeditionary forces.
In view of tiTe.lara-e number of military
cam ds and stations in Texas and tne a is
tance from Washington it is not consid-
ered unlikely that a branch will be estab-
lished here. Such branches are inde
pendent of the commanding officers and
report direct to the Judge advocate gen
eral's office.
under the new order tne commanaing
officer apparently may refer any death
sentences either to the president or await
a review by the Judge advocate general's
omce.

they are to meet somebody who may be
able to take their measure. They are

anticipations will be realised.
