HARRITY WANTS THE MONEY
Chicago May Not Have the Demo-
cratic Convention After All.
Pledges of Financial support Have
Not Been Redeemed-Leaders Ad-
nit They Are Discouraged.

Chicago. May THE sensation of the
hour in local Democratic circles is a state
mcnt TO the effect that the real purpose
of the meeting here next Friday of the sub
committee OF the Democratic National Com
mittee Is to determine whether or not the
national convention shal! be held III
Chicago at all.
II is asserted that the financial pledges
upon which the convention was voted &c
Chicago have not been redeemed. that oi
$40, 600 which should have been deposited
10 the order OF the national committee, III
instalments, between Aprll II and May
l. only $4,000 has been Forthcoming,
while $4,000 more should be deposited
within the next three weeks, that not an
other dollar has been furnished, and that
the local lists promising Subscriptions have
not been collected.
Joseph Doun,isperger. treasurer OF the
local committee. admitted to local
representative of the United Press the
substantial accuracy of these allegations.
He exhibited d telegram from National
Chairman Harrity, saying: was deposit
made on April 81 nnd May /, ,asperrromises
made to our committee? Am disappointed
at not having heard from you.'
To this the committee was compelled 10
reply in the negative. Mr.. Donnersbcrger
,IIed. ..Thc situar ion is This. We
pledged $40 900. OF this we have paid
over $4,000 and have $4,000 more in
hand. The total subscription is $4,000,
so that. even il we collect every cent al
ready subscribed, there is Sl4 900 more to
| come from some where.
I'VE Will have meeting today tc
decide what Is to he done, and on Friday
morning all those who signed the bond Will
| meet and determine how the deficit is to be
| made up. When we were IN Washington
before we had agreed to sign that bond, we
te!cgraphed to Chicago, asking whether il
| would be safe for us to do so. repl
was received to the effect that We should
| 20 ahead and sign and that the suhscrip-
tionS would he all right. VIC do not look
| at ii in that light today
| Our business men here do not refuse us
| outright, but they do not seem TO realize
| the situation. l must admit that l am
| discouraged, but still l think We will
null out all right in the end

INDIAN LEGISLATION.
The Indians Becoming Alarmed at the
Situation. 10 Dawes BIN Passes Its
constItutIonaIIty wInbe Attacked.

4 Washington dispatch of the 18th
says:
The Indians who are in Washing
ton To fight legislation calculated To
seriously impair. If not destroy. the
autonomy of their tribal governments
are becoming alarmed nj the pros
poets. The speech made by ex-
Senator Dawes before the committee
on Indian affairs in favor of the gov
ernment taking the action prescribed
in the Flynn bill was more radical
that the Indians had anticipated.
While admitting that the treaties
which they had made with the United
States guaranteed them. according to
their reading, a perpetuatiOn uf the
privileges which they now enjoy, lie
asserted that these treaties, inaSmuch
as they provided for separate and dis
tinct forms OF government. were con-
trary TO the constitution OF the
United States. The obligation of the
I United States, therefore, ne argued.
was purely am oral one. IL had been
. for many years strictly regarded. but
existing conditions were such that IL
could be- rigidly adhered to no longer
without working the greatest injus-
tice To United States citizens. Clear
+ Is the first duty of the United States
was 10 protect the rights ~ its own
citizens. and all that was intended by
+ legislation now before the house was
+ to do this, at the same time showing
all the consideration 10 the Indians
consistent with the first purpose 81
the bill.
Mr.. Benge. one Of the Cherokee
delegates. said today that the COM
mittee had as yet set no day for hear
ing the Indians side Of the case.
Chairman Dawes will conclude his
argument AT the session Of the com
mittee ON Thursday, aud day for
the Indians will then doubtless b.
named. Mr.. Benge says that he and
the rest Of the delegates regard too
highly the fairness and honesty of the
fairness and honesty of the majority
of the house of representatives To be-
lieye that the bill being advocated by
the Dawes commission will ever pass.
II il does, and + signed by the presi-
dent. its oOnstitutiOnality will. he
says, be attacked on the ground that
il is a fragrant violation of the treaty
or contract which they made with the
government when they gave up their
homes In Georgia

battle between the laws supremacy

This has stimulated just such false
and base accusations and insinuationS
as the gentleman has made.
In his communication we have
strong assertions. without proof. de-
clamation without argument, violent
cenSure without dignity or mOdera-

or decency of design. One who caa
string together so many falSehOod,
ought to be neither an object Of dcriS
