GIGANTIC FRAUDS

In the Way of Indian Depreciation Claims
Said to Have Been Unearthed by the Sem
ate Subcommittee Headed by Senator
Kyle. of South Dakota-Forty-FOur Mill
lions Involved.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Kyle,
OF South Dakota, chairman of the sub
committee on Indian depredations, has
succeeded in unearthing series of the
most gigantic frauds ever attempted to
be perpetrated upon the government.
They involve in the aggregate nearly
s44,oO0.OOO of Indian depreciation
claims, representing more that H.
900 cases, the majority of which
are either without any basis what
ever or have but f1imsy case, and are
supported by totally inadequate evil
dence. Not more than 25 per cent. of
them are legitimate. These claims
have been railroaded through the court
of claims in large numbers upon
meager exparte evidence, and with the
connivance, it is believed, of gov
eminent officials. Whether this
connivance has been criminal or
merely represents the efforts of
over-zealous officials to make record,
only the most thorough investigation
will disclose. The Indian depreciation
claims now on file in the department of
justice are supposed to have their
origin in the unlawful acts of tribes
which, in addition to being wards
CT the government, are lack
ing in amity with it: that is,
upon reservations and under laws and
regulations prescribed by the govern
ment. The depredations are of the
nature of stock and crops stolen,
houses and barns pillaged and de-
stroyed, and in some cases are based
upon injuries received in defense of
property. All the claims are supposed
to be made by citizens of the United
States

Old Boy and Himself.

George Brock Kills His Wife, His 7-Year-
Old Boy and Himself.
BORDEN. Ind, June 15.-The finding
IT three decomposed bodies near here
yesterday revealed the sad story of a
family tragedy. The bodies were
identified as those of George Brock,
aged 45; his wife, of the same age, and
their son, aged Z. The surroundings
showed that Brock had killed his wife
and child by shooting them with a shot
gun and then committed suicide.
The crime is believed to have been
committed Monday night, and the
preparations show that it was deliber-
ate. Brock had built pen Monday in
a lonely glen nearly a mile from town,
to prevent stray hogs devouring the
bodies. In the evening he persuaded
his wife to accompany him to his moth
ers home, and on the way killed her.
The child followed and was next killed.
Then Brock dragged the bodies into
the pen and covered them with clothes.
He then laid down beside his wife and
fired the shotgun with stick, blowing
his own head off.
The bodies were found yesterday
morning by two elder brothers of the
child killed, who were searching for
their parents Their homes was at
Speeds, a settlement near here, and the
family was respectable but poor. Brock
had been out of work for some time,
and his poverty is believed to have been
the cause of the tragedy.

New YORK, June 15.-All the after
noon the crowd in the court room in
creased, and as an hour passed and
nothing had been heard from the jury
room, Wiman's hope increased. He
chattcd and laughed with Ais friends
and seemed in the best of spirits.
AS the juny filed into the court room
it was easy to see what the verdict was
The jurors showed plainly that they
had decided adversely Wiman's fate.
AS Wiman rose to face the jury, his
ruddy face became deadly pale, and
he trembled violently. The foreman
of the jury was much more affected,
however, as he was actually weeping
when he delivered the verdict-guilty,
with a strong recommendation for
mercy.
As soon as the verdict was announced,
MIR. Wiman fell back in his chair with
groan. His youngson placed his arm
about his fathers shoulders, and the
two sat silent for few minutes,
Then Sheriff Brown came, and Erastus,
Wiman started for the Tombs, and im-
mediately after his fathers departure,
young Wiman started for home to, tell

OBSTRUCTION IS REPUBLICAN.

| Delay III Tho Senate Caused by Fat-Fryin1
Protectionists.
In dealing with the tariff the car
dinal sin OF the senate has been OBJ
struction, and the sinners are the re.
publicans.
Through merry years OF experience
In Coxeyizing schedules the republic.
an senators have become close trad.
ing corporation. With specific duties
they have acquired experiences in ar
ranging duties so that low tariffs fall
on the grades of goods which are. not
controlled by import duties and high
tariffs on the great staple necessaries
of the household.
Republicans have in a compact body
resisted all progress toward vote. It
is they who have given to German and
Brice about all the power used to
blackmaiI the democratic majority
And republicans were in every deal

1t the business men who are anx-
iously awaiting settlement have had
their eyes open they must have seen
that the great majority of democrats
in both houses ere ready and anxious
months ago to give the country lib
orally devised tariff law. The full
strength of the republicans has been
put forth for obstruction.
Nor can the obstruction come under
any honest theory of conviction on the
tariff. The republican senator's knew
that a law of some kind was certain
to be passed. They could not say that
they were fighting in the hope of pre-
serving the Mckinley law. All they
have done is to hold their ranks solid
for obstruction while the German dem
ocrats did the work of the lobby by
bulldozing tactics. The fasteners
who lead the republicans got what
they wanted for certain special inter-
ests, and got it through German and
his band. Then they were willing to
negotiate for a roll call. All this four
months of obstruction, in committee
and on the floor, has, not been to
save the Mckinley law, but to capture
as much swag as possible for favorite
trusts.
