Sun Dance.
He Says the Dance Is Inhuman, Bru.
talizing, Unnatural, Indecent and
AbhOrent.

HELENA, June Especial to THE
TRIBUNE. Gov. Richards today issued
his proclamation forbiddlng the sun
dance by the Cree Indians at Great Falls.
The governor has petition protesting
against allowing the dance to proceed.

T. f. Collins, Ransom Cooper, !. Parker
Veazie, Albert M. Scott, Gold T. Curtis,
w. ID. Dickinson, City Marshal Pontet,
F. W. Webster, Sheriff Hamilton, Coun-
ty Attorney Freeman and many others.
The governors proclamation is as fol-
follows:
"The executive office is in receipt OF
reliable information to the effect that a
wandering band OF Crse Indians have
arranged to give what is known as the
sun dance in the county of Cascade,
Montana. Investigation into the char
acter Of this festival convinces me that
it is not only inhuman and brutalizing,
unnatural andr indescent and therefore
abhorent to Christian civilization, but
that it's aims and purposes are
a menace to the peace and welfare Of
communities in as much as it is the
initiative ceremony that inducts the In
dian into the ranks of recognized war
rlors. My information respecting the
sun dance, CLEANED from official reports
concerning it, as we'll as the testimony
Of prominent gentlemen who have
witnessed it, lead me to regard the pro-
posed exhibition as wholly Inconsistent
with Christian civilization and to respect
tho petitions presented to me praying
for it's suppression. On account Of the
revolving ceremonials of the dance and
its tendency to stimulate and inspire a
warlike spirit in the hearts Of the red
men, the federal government has strictly
prohibited the festival upon the various
reservation occupied by its wards. The
Cree Indians however are not the
wards Of the federal government being
refugees from Canada therefore do not
come within the restrictions imposed
by the authorities on reservations.
Whatever steps are taken to prevent the
.Crees from repeating the sun dance in
stances, be by direction Of the author.
ties OF the state of Montana, and to this
end law and precedent can be invoked.
Enough is known OF this festival as
given by the Crees in times past, to war
rant prompt and effective measures for
its suppression. Therefore !, John f.
Richards, by virtue of authority vested
in me, as governor Of the state Of Mon
tana, do hereby prohibit within the
limits of this state the festival known as
the sun dance, and the local authorities
of the several counties are directed to
take such steps as may be necessary in
their respective communities to enforce
this inhibition"

days each. AS train could not be pro
cured at once to take them to Missoula,
about half dozen deputy marshals
started with them for the jail here. On
the way the crowd surrounded the pris

out Of the ranks and make his escape.

stranger in the ranks he was promptly
ordered out. In this way nearly doz-
en- prisoners escaped.

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE,
A Witne,s Tells What He Heard I'm An
Adjourning Room,

Adjourning Room.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Before the sem
ate committee investigating the alleged
operations Of the sugar trust in efforts to
influence tariff legislation. Walter Gas
ton, the wire manufacturer Of Wilkes
barre, Pa, was examined today. He
stated that he came to Washington In
March in the interests Of tariff legis-
lation on wire and was stopping at the
Arlington hotel. He was assigned room
thirty-three. The sixth day Of that
month, much wearied, he retired early.
About 10 o'clock he was aroused by
talking IN the next room, participated in
by several persons. The voices Of some
he recognized. They we're discussing
the sugar schedule and some Of the par
ticipants in conversation we're exceed
ingly anxious that duty on refined
sugar be provided for. He said also
that he had heard the names OF certain
senators mentioned in the conversation.
Secretary Carlisle's statement as it ap-
peared in the published testimony is not
materially different from that given to
the press officially the day after he was
before the committee, but some points
are presented in greater detail. His
momory does not correspond with that
Of senator Jones as to the time and
place he was asked to put the sugar
schedule into shape. Carlisle stated
that Jones had requested him to have a
sugar schedule prepared Of the morning
Of Saturday, May 5. He had agreed to
do this as the service was one that the
treasury department was in the habit Of
rendering members Of the finance CON-
mittee. After he went to the office he
dictated schedule providing for an ad
valorem duty Of 40 per cent and an ad-
ditional one. eighth of one per cent on
sugars above No. l6 Dutch standard.
