STRONG WITNESS DISCOVERED.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 30.-Fifteen-
year old Emma Layton, an orphan,
has been held by the police as an i'm
portant witness against the four men
who on Thanksgiving night, held up
and attempted to rob a car full of
passengers on the Kansas City and
Independent Electric line. She de-
clares that she made the masks for
the robbers and knew of their plans,
which were, she claims, concocted at
the home of the Ridgeway brothers
at Centopolis. She was recently re-
leased from the house of the Good
Shepherd and it is the theory of the
police that she is in the clutches of
of the gang They believe also that
she can tell something of the Chicago
and Alton robbery. Eugene Ridge
way, the missing member of the gang,
is believed to have been seen at Gray
son, near st. Joseph.

Indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has made
his annual report to the Secretary of
the Interior. He says with no out
break or disturbance during the year,
the progress of the Indians in general
education and civilization has been
uninterrupted and substantial. The
main effort now, as for many years,
must be to put the Indian upon an
allotment and teach him to support
himself and protect him from en-
croachment and injustice, and edu-
cate his children in books md INDUS
tries. AS the first step, 30 far as
treaty obligations do not interfere by
requiring the payment Of monies and
the issuance Of rations or annuities,
the Indians are given to understand
that the government will not feed and
clothe them while they remain in idle
ness. The funds available for the
purpose are destined to starting the
Indians in homes. If they will go up
on an allotment and work and i'm.
prove It, the government will assist
them in building houses and putting
the farm in oper ttion and making him
a practical farmer.

Tho Law Tn the WAY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The atten-
ton OF Commissioner Stump of the
Emigrant Bureau was to-day called
70 movement looking to the coloni-
cation in this country of the Arme-
MIN refugees. Stump said that Sec
Rotary Carlisle and himself had been
advised OF such movement and var
ious appeals had been made from
Lady Henry Somerset, Frances Will
lard and English and American relief
associations, asking the corporation
OF the Government in furnishing these
stricken people an asylum in the
United States, but while the sympa-
thies of all good people must be arous-
ed in their behalf, the officers of the
Government must enforce the laws as
they exist.
The matter was being investigated
and if any lawful means could be
found they would be exercised in be-
half OF the refugees. the law on the
subject, however, strictly prohibits
the landing in this country of all per-
sons likely to become a public charge
and also @any persons whose ticket or
passage Is paid for with money of
others or who is assisted by others to
come in" Lady Henry Somerset. it
is stated, inquired whether bonds
could be received, SO these Armen.ans
would not become public charges.
The reply has been sent that the De-
partment connot accept bonds except
under special circumstances. After
a thorough investigation of each ipdi-
vidual case. it seems plobabie that the
law puts an il surmountable obstacle
N the way Of relief i'll the manner
proposed.
