! The house committee on Indian affairs has
practically decided upon the recon mendation
of Mr.. Clifford that the Yankton Indian res
ervation in South Dakota should be reduced,
and nave requested the commissioner of In
dian affairs to furnish some facts relating to
the reservation, and the a ACCESSIBILITY Of ap-
pointing a commission to treat with the In.
dians for the cession Of q portion of their
lands.
The people of Pierre, S. D., held an indigna-
ton meeting to condemn the false reports
recently sent out to the Chicago Tribune and
other Eastern papers regarding restitution
in South Dakota. The legislature passed a
joint resolution to take immediate steps to
refute the base ISLANDERS, and that the
true state Of things be set forth. A number
of of this section appeared before
the state senate now in session and offered
to furnish seed wheat to any who needed it
at q price lower than could be furnished by
elevator men. The farmers stated they
could furnish af1davits from 80 per cent. OF
their class in this county that there was no
suffering for the necessities Of life. The legis-
lature will appropriate 100000 to secure
the r%e:utation of the charges. The seed
wheat commission, headed by Gov. Mellette,
was sent to st. Paul to purchase, not to beg
seed wheat for farmers in Faux and Miner
counties, the press to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The Lennox Hill bank of New York City
has suspended payment. 1t is controlled by
the sam parties who bought the control Of
the Sixth National bank OF New York, which
had already been closed by the bank exam-
liner. The knowledge of the relation Of the
two institutions caused q run on the Lennox,
which it was unable to meet. The represent
atives of the bank examiner state that de-
positors will certainly be paid in full. The
Equitable bank has also been affected in con-
nection with the other two institutions. Wall
street looks upon the attempt to dispose OF
the 100000 in bonds owned by the Sixth
National bank as simply a case of highway
robbery. 1t seems that President Claasen,
after abstracting the bonds from the safe
deposit vault, turned them over to George
who attempted to dispose Of them on the
street, representing them to be the property
of his wife. Mr.. Colson, the cashier of the
bank, learning Of the action of Claasen, mott.
fed the clearing house n bank examiner.
He 500 learned enough to cause him to close
the bank and call on Claas on for the return
of the 1922, 900 in securities.
