Efforts to Break Up Extensive Swim
dies i'm the Indian Territory

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. 6-Chief Harris
of the Cherokee na>-ion has arrived at Fort
Smith and held a long conference with
the United States district attorney in re-
gard to extensive swindles that are being
perpetrated upon people in Texas, Arkansas
Missouri Illinois and nearly all the south
ern states. 1t has been discovered that un-
scrupulous attorneys in Arkansas and the
territory are sending circulars broadcast
over the country announcing that any per-
son who has drop of Indian blood in his
veins can be admitted to citizenship in the
Indian territory in time to share in the
proceeds from the sale of Cherokee bonds
To establish his claim and perfect citizen
ship a good round fee is exacted from the
dupes who bite at the announcement There
are 1000 persons squatting on the territory
and these men are also sending out alluring
announcements through these same lawyers
Offering to sell the lands to which they bear
no title to any person who may make ap-
plication, at ridiculously low price
The result of this two-fold swindle is that
not only are letters pouring in from ali
parts Of the country, but farmers and home
seekers, who hope to get a share in the rich
Indian territory at a nominal figure are
flocking to the promised land, only to find
that they have been duped.
District Attorney Read states that these
poor people stand not ghost of show of
being admitted into Cherokee citizenship
for, even though they show that they ha We
spoon or two of Indian blood in their
veins, they can only be admitted by a vote
of the Indian legislature.
Chief Harris confirmed the statement Of
Mr.. Read. Being asked If there was no
way to remove these squatters the chief
significantly said: The government. Accord

done so long ago but ii has so far faiIad

ror's outspoken support of the policy OF

that there is no chance OF changes as re-
suit Of his reconciliation with Prince BIS

NEW CHICAGO GAS WORKS.
Provision of an Ordinance Passed by
the Aldermen.

CHICAGO. Feb. 6.-The council last night
by vote of 80 to IL, passed an ordinance
granting Henry Watson" the right to con-
struct maintain and operate gas works
within the city of Chicago. Before its pas
sage the ordinance was amended by strik-
ing out the name OF Henry Watson and IN
serting in lieu thereof the words The Chi
cago Metropolitan Gas Company"
Alderman McGillen. who with Alderman
Ryan, championed the ordinance in its pro-
gress through the council. intimated during
the debate that the Hyde Park Mutual Fuel
Gas Company was behind it,
Alderman Kent endeavored 70 secure the
adoption of amendment requiring the
company to pay per cent of its gross re-
ceiptS to the city as a compensation for lis
franchise, but the amendment was defeated
As adopted the ordinance provides that the
company shall pay to the city per cent of
its net receipts.
Mayor Hopkins presided during the entire
session. He said quite freely that he would
veto the ordinance. Il could never allow
sucn an ordinance as that to become law
with my consent. 1t looks like a sand-bag-
glng affair. Who are its hackers? II is not
very generous TO the city. to say the least
The concession Of . per cent on net profits
Is ridiculous. / do not think the aldermen
who are going to vote for the ordinance eN-
pect that L am going TO sign, but maybe
they have enough votes to carry over
safely"
The amendments which sought to reduce
the price were all voted down, 80 To IL. The
motion to make the company pay q per cent
on gross receipts was also voted down, 90
to H.
a proposition by Alderman Noble TO COM
pei the payment of 100000 in money as
guarantee fund was also lost, - 70 H. This
would Indicate that the combination is
strong enough to pass the ordinance over
the veto. only 4G votes are Needed for the
purpose.
The Watson ordinance was first intro
duced in the city council February % lSAS
and was referred TO a committee. 1t seemed
TO have few friends and its progress was not
rapid. However, ii was soon after reported
from the committee and its passage recon-
mended March 20, 1913
On account of the strong opposition II en-
countered no attempt was made to bring
the ordnance 10 vote and it dropped out
of sight until, in some manner unknown to
the uninitiated, Ii was resUrrected and has
developed astonishing strength.

RIO JANEIRO. Feb. 6-President Peix-
oto has offered to pardon privates belong
ing to the insurgent forces who apply for
clemency within two months. During the
past three days extraordinary but unsuc-
cessful efforts have been made to induce
members of the regular army to desert the
government and join the insurgent forces.
When it was thought the regulars would
turn their arms against the government
the insurgent fleet was brought close to
the shore in order that a force might be
speedily landed to cooperate with the
troops.
The insurgents were confident of success,
but the plans to get the aid of the regular
troops failed absolutely.

cyclical. The pope traces the attempts that
have been made to effect a union of the

endeavors of the papacy to bring about a
union. The encyclical indicates the politi-
cal and theological obstacles in the way of
effecting the desired end, and enumerates
the advantages that would be derived by
the eastern church through a union with
the western. The pope declares that he is
strongly in favor of keeping intact the rites

universal, is not Latin.
The encyclical concludes with a pathetic
and ardent prayer that this historical event

The Shea Pardon,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS a citizen 1 desire to express NV obIi-
cations to you for your manly criticism and
rebuke of President Cleveland's action in
extending pardon to John Shea. 1 do not
often find occasion to praise the press for
calling spade spade" No viler place
exists in Cherry or Baxter street, New
York, than has been presided over by the
Shea family for many years. All decent
people shun the locality. A lower depth
in moral debasement can hardly be reached
than the yawning gulf of Willow Tree al
ley. The recent act of President Cleveland
in obstructing the course of justice in
Shea's case was crime against civiliza-
ton and fastens stain on his official term
that history will never efface

biltty of further trouble in Egypt, the AS
sociated Press agent here has been in COM
munlcation with a prominent American
resident at Cairo with the view of ascer-
tanning the extent OF American interests in
Egypt, and has received the following in
reply:
In 1884 scarcely a score ofsAmericans
visited the Nile. and probably not tlve went
south of Cairo. Who would have imagined
that in another decade they would be
leckoned by thousands; that Egyptian cot
ton would be shipped direct to the United
States and the nnest steamers in the world
would bring passengers in five days from
New York to Gibraltar, and in fourteen
to Alexandria
The political atmosphere has been sensi-
bly, affected.
No American officer said the late
khedive Towhk to the late consul general,
ever sought to enrich himself at the ex-
pense of my country
This desire to render disintereSted ser
vice to Egypt which the American mission
aries began and the American officers safe
guarded is now manifested in the courteous
treatment of the natives, the social reel
proCitIeS among the higher classes, and the
generous, too generous perhaps but always
kindly, demeanor OF the American tourists,
and of the fair daughters of America es-
pecially."

JOIN SHEA'S CASE.
What the Record of the Police Court
shows About the Sheas

The granting of a pardon by President
Cleveland to John Shea, the South Wash
ington citizen whose unSavOry reputation
as a lawbreaker is known to about every
body in the District, still continues to be
the uppermost topic of discussion in police
and official circles Officials do not hesi-
tate to say that the action of the President
based upon an ex-parte hearing of the facts
in Shea's case, will have a twO-fold effect
tending to discourage the police in the pre-
vention of crime. and at the same giving
encouragement to lawbreakers.
An examination of the records of the
Police Court has developed the fact that
since the first of January, 1876. the Shea
family, father, mother or children. have
appeared as defendants On the District or
United States sides Of the court no less than
one hundred ana fifty-Cne times, and as
was explained by clerk of the court yes
te-day. it is said that conviction followed
in at least a majority Of the cases.
Said one prominent police officer to a Star
reporter today: Il was very sorry to see
that the President had pardOned Shea ana
cannot believe that, had he known or been
made aware of all the facts in this particu-
lar case, or had he been made familiar with
the past record Of Mr. and Mrs. Shea, he
would have interfered in the case. But,
You see tine men on the force, l am afraid,
Will not look at the matter in this light
but Will consider that Shea, having pulled
the wool over the Presidents eyes in this
case, will be able TO do 50 again, should
they attempt to interfere again. Then,
again, every rascal in the District will con-
sider the action of the President as a sort
of an encOuTa cement TO him"
1t is stated that for some time past the
family and friends OF Shea have boasted of
their ability To get the odd man." as they
familiarly termed him, out of his cell and
striped suit. and their bOasting recalls :,
scene which occurred in court upon one Of
the many convictions of Shea about a year
ago. He had been convicted OF selling
liquor without a license, and when the court
impo.ed a line Mrs. Shea arose and cried out
detiantly, that they could pay the fine, but
that they would continue To sell liquor Just
the same. license or no license; and. in
justice to Irs. Shea, the police say that she
made good her word at once
