A BURGLAR broke into Kansas City
house in which Mrs. Gay was alone, and
told her if she made any noise, or at
tempted to get out of bed, he would
kill her. She was frightened, and did
not speak or stir, while he packed hen
silverware and jewelry for removal.
Then by way Of emphasizing parting
injunction not to raise an alarm, he box
ed her ears. That made her so angry
that she forgot her fear. She jumped
out of bed, knocked the burglar down
with chair, yelled to the top of her
voice, pulled his hair, scratched his face
and stamped on him A police officer
heard the racket, and the badly injured
man was arrested.

Proposed consolidation Of the Binerent

WAsHINGToE, January ~ IHdian
Inspector Watkins makes some interest
| ing and important recommendations Il.
his report to the Interior Department.
He proposes that all the Indians West
OF the Cascade Mountains, in Washing
ten Territory; be consolidated at Neah
Bay and Puyallup reservation, the fish
eating Indians ON the former, and the
agricultural class on the latter; that
the Warm Spring and UmatiIla Indians
of Oregon be removed to Yakima Res
er4iatisn, in Washington Territory
thsGt all bands Of Indians in the NORTH
eastern portion Of Washington Terri
tsrF be consolidated ON Columbia River,
above the mouth Of the Spokane; that
the Siletz and other Indians on the
ceast Of Oregon be consolidated on
Grands Ronde Reservation; that before
the reservations thus vacated are re,
stored to the public domain, such IN
dams as are qualified fer citizenship and
desire il should be permitted to select
homesteads from the lands 10 be vaeal

acre farms, cultivating the soil and are
entirely selfsupp0rting. Secretary
schurz, in transmitting Watkins report
and Hoyts letter, takes occasion to ex-
press his own opinion that the proposed
consolidation Of agencies would be of
advantage to the Government and to
the Indians; and he therefore suggests
that Congress should enact such appro-
pirate legislation as viii enable the De
partment to carry it inso effect Wal

moving and settling the various Indians,

kins' recommendation that Indians who
are farming and self-supporting on the
reservations to be vacated should be a
lowed and encouraged to remain IN Their
present locations by giving them title
to their lands under the Indian Home
stead Act Commissioner Hoyt does
concur, however, in the reeommendation
for consolidation, accompanied with q
provision for giving agricultural Indi
ans individual proprietoIallip with titles
absolutely inalienable This, he says,
would relieve the outside country af
their presence and enable the Govern
ment to exercise a system Of direct

which the Indians are IN imperative

improvement cannot be anticipated
