THE OKANOGAN TROUBLES.

The Lynching of Young Indian, Alleged
to Have Committed a Murder, Mainly
Responsible for the Trouble Among the
Okanogan Indians in Washington-The
Liquor Traffic Another Disturbing Cause.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs has received
report from Indian Agent Hal J. Cole,
who investigated the trouble among the
Okanogan Indians in Washington. The
agent says that there was some excite
ment among these Indians, but more
especially among those living off the
reservation in O1anogan County on ac-
count Of the lynching of young Indian
named stephen" who was confined
in the county jail at Conconuly
as one of the supposed murderers
of a freighter named Cole several
weeks ago. Deputy Sheriff Ives in at
tempting to arrest Captain John, who
it is supposed murdered Cole, killed the
Indian. Young Stephen on January 5
gave himself up to the authorities with
the understanding that they should try
him for killing Cole by law, as he be-
lieved he could prove himself innocent.
On the 7th he was examined and
his bond fixed at $1,000. While his
relatives and friends were getting the
bond, twenty-five masked men, on the
Sth, went to the Jail and demanded, at
the point of their guns, the release of
the prisoner. He was then taken a
short distance from the Jail and hanged
to a tree. Stephen was not more than
fifteen years of age. The agent says it
was a cowardly act.
On account of threats made by friends
of the young Indian, the Governor sent
two hundred rifles and 5000 rounds of
ammunition; and troops were held in
readiness to move at a moments notice.
The agent says he does not fear any
trouble on this account But the liquor
traffic now going on near the Okanogan
Reservation, he fears, if not quickly
suppressed, will cause trouble among
the Indians. He says there are at least
twenty whisky sellers along the Okano-
gan river, following this vocation for
livelihood. He urges the Commissioner
to expend reasonable amount ofmoney
to employ detectives and bring the
guilty parties to justice.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 30. - Not great
deal of work was done in either house

the fact that only two bills were intro

THE p. C's. MONUMENT.
One Was Left in the North Side
stMOdeF' Police Station.

One Was Left in the North Side
Model Police Station.
When the police commission, rest its
ashes, departed this life, leaving many
to remember but more to mourn. it left
behind a monument which will long
serve to perpetuate its memory.
But" you may say, "the police COM
mission needs no monument. Born a
freak, it left behind record of useless
ness, not unmiXed with scandal which
will always preserve its name from the
oblivion in which time surrounds the
ordinary works of mortals."
True. But the police commission did
not know that. 1t did not realize the
full measure Of its renown. So it set
about to build monument to itself. 1t
did it. The monument is located in
North Minneapolis. up on Third street
beyond Plymouth avenue. 1t is called
the North Minneapolis police station.
What is the matter with this police
station?
Not very much, except that it is en-
tirely unfit for the use expected to be
made of it. 1t is beautiful building
to look upon, as beauty goes in police
stations. 1t is planned conveniently.
1t is finished in workmanlike manner.
1t is roomy. 1t seems to be model po-
lice station. There Its good qualities
end. 1t will not hold prisoners and
why? Because the laws of humanity
do not sanction the freezing of a pris-
Oner to death merely because he has
fallen under the displeasure Of the law.
Since winter came no prisoners are
locked up at the north station. When
ever Capt. Buerfening's subordinates
find man who has taken too much
alcohol OF man who has no visible
means of support, "drunks' and "vags"
in police parlance, team has to be
harnessed, two men must put on their
coats, and the drunk" or the "vag" is
bundled down to the central station to
be locked up. This police station cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. Yet as
police station it is worthless. It is a
good place to store patrol wagon or
to stable horses, provided the horses are
we'll bianketed, nothing more. Men
whose duty it is to remain on watch
there suffer not little personal discom-
fort from the cold. Prisoners cannot be
kept there.
Shouldn't something be done to render
habitable this place which has cost such
tidy little sum?

RI0TING over A RULE,
Stormy Debate in the West
ern Freight Association
Session.
Chairman Osgood Sternly
Calls the Traffic Officials
to Order.
Judge Shiras Rules Tha the
State Can Govern Switch
ing Charges.
Statement Of the A. 7. & Santa
Fe Concerning the Ticket
Question.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-It transpires that
the closing session of the Western
Freight association yesterday was
marked by stormy debate on the ques-
tiOn of changing one of the rules to con-
form to the presidents agreement. The
rule IN question provides that changes
IL rates may be made by
any road by giving ten days
notice. The presidents agreement
requires that proposed change of
rates must be approved by the board of
commissioners before 1t can be put into
effect. which would cause delay OF
from thirty to sixty days. The ma
iority of the roads that are parties to
the presidents agreement contended
that such agreement was now
in full effect. and that the ten
days rule should be suspended. The
Chicago & Alton. the Chicago, st. Paul
q Kansas City and the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis, which are not in
the new association, nevertheless
agreed in the interest of harmony to
waive their rights under the ten days
rule for the present, and 1t was
generally thought that this settled
the matter. But when the Western
and Northwestern divisions met in sep
arate session the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore & Western, which is not in the
new ASSOCIATION, declared that it did
not and would not consent to suspen-
sion of the rule, by which action in re-
gard to rates could be taken by
given ten days notice. Strange
to say two other roads, whose presidents
signed the contract Of the Western
Traffic association, took the same stand,
declaring that they were not willing to
change the rule or to abolish it. An
animated discussion followed, and had
almost developed into a general row
when Acting Chairman Osgood called
the traffic officials to order.
Mr.. Osgood ruled that no change of
rules could be made without unanimous
consent under the agreement of the
Western Traffic association, and as
unanimous consent had not been
obtained the meeting would proceed
under the rules. The Whole matter will
be reported to the commissioners of the
Western Traffic association. and at their
next meeting, which will probably be
next Tuesday, the subject will be con-
Sidered.

THE CONFESSION UNTRUE.
Heilpern Gives the Lie to tn e
Story Of GrVpIa

SCOFy Oh OFySla.
The Helpern trial was again on yes
terday morning, and the crowd Of sight
seers had grown to such proportions
that it was hard matter to find stand
ing room fol- them all. Charles Ruyter
was placed On the stand, and began a
continuance of the testimony in regard
to the books, which was as dry as ever.
On cross-eXamination it was brought
out that his account was Overdrawn
some $4,000, but this was fact that the
company was aware of. Ernest Zeidler
was recalled, and testified that at the
time Heilpern lief he had S25 in salary
still to his credit The firm had paid
him SIS per month.

with taking $500 of your money on Aug.
31?" asked Mr.. Hart abruptly.
There was shortage III the cash,
and"
THAT is all you know about it?"
swell, bad reason to suppose"
Never mind what you supposed. You
don't know from your own knowledge
that he took the money. Your only
knowledge was from the bookkeeping?"
MIR. Ruyter was again called to the
stand to translate letter written in
German to Mr.. Zeidler, which proved to
be another written confession, bearing
date Ell Paso del NOrte. The letter adj
mitted his guilt and his intention to re-
turn and surrender himself to the au-
thoritieS. 1t also stated that he had
heard that the detectives were Oh his
track, but he preferred to surrender
himself. 1t stated that he had came to
Minneapolis and gone to the West hotel
to see Mr.. Zeidler. but not finding him
at home he had gone to the East side to
see his wife and children, and had then
departed for Mexico.
Grygla was recalled by Mr.. Hart, and
admitted that he had lied to the news
paper reporters as to what he knew
about the case, when he had been asked
if he knew anything III connection with
1t. This statement was made to excuse
himself for telling the confession story
after relating that he knew nothing.
He eXonerated himself by stating that
reporters never get anything right any
way, and he didn't want to have any
thing to say to them. The young men
in question winked at the jury, who
smiled knowingly in return.
In the afternoon Heilpern was put
upon the stand, and while his express
sion would lead the beholder to believe

broken English was so low as to be
hardly distinguished. He was asked as
to the story of his confession told by
Grygla, and he denied it, except as to
the time the alleged talk took place.
They had met on the street, he said,
and had some little conversation; but
the whole story told by Grygla, he said,
was a fabrication.

Rabbi Marks in an interview pub
lished in an evening paper denOunces
Rev. Joseph Taubes, who has recently
attracted some attention by his appeals
through the press in behalf of the Rus
sian Jews being sent to this cOuntry, as
a sort of a pious fraud who enacts a
double rate for his support, appearing
to the Christians as a converted Jew
trying to persuade his race to leave
their old superstitiOns and join the true
faith, but to the more ignorant Jews
with whom he conS0rtS mostly and gets
what following he has, he represents
himself as man OF influence with the
Christian public"
Concerning the reported coming of
$50 families of Russian Jews to Mime
apolis, Rabbi Marks, says: 1--WE do
not need any help as yet. In the first
place we are not certain that these
immigrants are coming, and we pur-
pose doing our part first before calling
upon anybody not of our own race for
help. If we find we have more than we
can do. we shall appeal to the charitable
people of Minneapolis for assistance.
What we want now is to be let alone,
and last of all do we ask to be repre-
scented by man who does not repre-
sent US, who has forsaken the teach
ings of his father and who is worse than

that, as the passage agreement did not
provide remedies for its enforcement,
