day received letter dated Pine Ridge
Agency, March %, from Rev, Father
Francis NJ. J. Craft, the Indian mission
ary, who predicted the recent Indian
troubles and who himself was shot at
Wounded Knee. In the communication
Father Graft earnestly points out the
danger of more serious trouble unless the
Indians are placed under the control of
the war department. He says in part:
"As the case stands now, the causes of
the trouble still exist and the Indians and
whites are at the mercy of any rascal
who finds it to his interest to annoy and
cndanger them. The only thing that
stands in the way of a speedy and per
manent settlement of all difficulties by
the immediate transfer of the Indians to
the war department, is the desire of poll
ticians to retain their plundcr As these
politicians are our public servants and in
our power, we American citizens should
use that power to turn them out oi the
offices they have abused to our loss and
disgrace. With the people rests the
remedy, and on them will rest the blame
If they will not bcstir themselves.

PITTsnuRG, Pa, March 3O.-Strikers
to the number of nearly 1000 attacked
Frick's coke works at Moorewood at 2
O'Clock this morning. They destroyed
some coke ovens and railway track and
broke the windows in several houses
Several raiders were arrested and taken
to Greensburg Jail. Riots are also re-
ported at Leisenring and Leith, and con-
siderable property was destroyed. There
is great excitement throughout the
coke country and serious trouble is ap-
pretended.
The coke troubles have assumed new
phase and now threaten to devclope into
a war between the operators and the
labor organizations. Mr.. Frick stated
today that heretofore he had not antag-
onized labor; in the future he did not pro-
pose to stand idly by and see his proper
ty destroyed. He claims the men are
satisfied with the scale OF wages he
Offered, but that the labor leaders will
not permit them to work as their posi-
tlons depend upon the success of the
strike. The fight from this time on will
be bitter.

TAXING INCOMES.
Treasurer Bain's Opinion Oi
the New Law.

TIC we" h-a"s
Treasurer Balm, asked for his opinion
concerning the general question of tax
ing incomes under the new revenue law,
says:
THE provisions in the former revenue
acts taking incomes derived from salar-
les and fees and allowing the taxpayer
to deduct ST 900 as necessary expenses
for conducting his business, or for sup
porting his family, have been amended
by striking out the cause allowing the de.
duction of $1,000. The machinery Of
the act requires the taxpayer to list only
his net income. 1t is necessary, there.
fore, to define the words net income"
THE word net is allowed its ordinary
meaning of free from expenses. or to pro
duce as clear profit, namely, that which
remains after the deduction of all charges
or outlay, especially following the gen
eral course oflegislation acted upon fol
more than twenty years in the previous
revenue statues"
The true Interpretation Of the act-a'
given by the treasurer-is to allow tn,
taxpayer to deduct from his gross in
come the actual necessary expenses of hi
business or OF supporting his family.
This construction, which has not beel
reached without some difficulty, call
for decision of the utmost care on tn
part of taxpayer in listing the tru
amount OF his net income He can d,
duct only the actual expense of his bus
ness, or of supporting his family, an
such expenses should be allowed him b

ess inthe Case.

eSS inthe case.
HWAsHINGToN, March 3O.-For several
years past attempts have been made to
victimize people Of prominence in the
United States by playing upon their cred
ulity at the expense of their purses. The
victim, as rule, is person who has at
some time had slight acquaintance
with Spain. He receives letter from
Spanish priest telling him that large
sum of money has been devised to him
by this Spaniard on conditions that al
ways involve advancements of grea .cr
or less sum OF money to pay necessary
charges.
The first notice the department of state
had of the trouble was letter addressed
to President Harrison soon after he as
sumed his Office. In this letter, the
writer Catholic priest, as he described
himself, informed the president that
Spanish army officer after undergoing
incredible vicissitudes of fortune, had
died in Spain. He had delivered to the
priest a sachel containing 100000,
which was to be turned over to President
Harrison on the sole condition that he
would assume charge of the officers
little. daughter. Incidentally, $4,000
was needed to pay necessary expenses.
The matter was confidential, and the
president was to direct his reply in
Spanish to the priest and inclose it in a
letter addressed to the Spanish lady.
The next person selected as a victim
was General Bartlett, of the pension
Office, in Washington. In this case a
great quantity of valuable plate was al
stake, encumbered with the innocent,
angelic child of Spaniard, whom the
general really recalled as an acquaintance
of his early years. His suspicious were
aroused and he escaped without loss.
A member of the United States house OF
representatives, last summer also came in
Tor one of these prize packages, which
were warranted to contain fortune and
a beautiful heiress. This letter is chiefly
remarkable for the crafty manner in
which the priest seeks to prevent expos
ure OF the swindle by making it appear
to he the recipients interest to maintain
silence. The priests story is romantic,
as is invariably in the case. The illus.
trious prison had died in The castle. The
charge upon which he was confined, en-
bczzlement from the state, was cunningly
stated with apparent innocence, al
though its suggestion indirectly ac.
counted for the great fortune OF
about 81 800, 900 which the prisoner had
Secretcd He had selected the American
congressman to act as his executor and
would allow him a fifth part of his fortune.
The priest had been told, under seal ot
confessional, that the treasure had been
secretly deposited by the illustrious
prisoner in the Bank Of London. 1t was
necessary to pay $4,000 to obtain tn,
baggage which was detained by thu
court and contained the certificate of de
post. Because the baggage would uot
he surrendered if the secret was known,
and to prevent trouble with the power
Iul enemies sepulchral silence was Ell
Oincd on the priest.
