In the district conventions the

recognition of county sovereignty

MANY UNPERFECTED CLAIMS
The Life Division and the Payment

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 23.-The
first general report and account current
Of James A. Failey as permanent re.
ceiver OF the Order Of the Iron Hall was
filed in the superior court this morning.
The statements of the receiver are very
long. Judge Winter made an order di.

Judge Winter says that within the

mitigation only two phases OF the
trust. One is the life division, and the
other is the payment OF matured Ger.
titicates that were unpaid when the re-.
ceiver was appointed. To meet these
claims $500, 900 will be held. A great
portion of the remaining balance In the
hands of the receiver. probably $3.50, 900.

NOT FOR CIVILIANS.
NofwS Sfhstanding Contrary Reports, Army
O&Acers viii still Be Indian Agents.

NOfwS SthstandinR Contrary Reports, Army
ONAcers Will Stiil Be Indian Agents.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23--While the
Ipdihn officials at one time showed a
desire to appoint civilians as Indian
agents in place of army officers, where
army officers have been relieved, it has
now been determined to fill such vacan-
cies with army officers. The war de-
partnaept has been asked to designate
army officers to fill vacancies in each
case. During the summer there were
several instances where some dissatis-
faction was felt by the army officers
who we're assigned to Indian agencies,
and the Indian officials were convinced
that the best interests of the Indians
would be subserved by having civilians
appointed. This has been changed
somewhat by the return of Secretary
Smith. who is well aware of the opin.
ions entertained by the president on
this subject. The law is rather ex.
plicit and says that army officers must
be designated, unless, in the opinion OF
the president, there should be q civilian.
Before civilian is appointed it must
be plain to the president that such ac-
ton is necessary. In cases where pres
ent vacancies exist it has not been
made apparent that army officers will
not be as good for the service. Several
civilian applications have been made
for the vacancies, but all the candidates
aTe doomed to disappointment.
