CLOSE OF MOHONK CONFERENCE
Indian Allotment scheme il Discussed
in Detail,


MCHONK LAKE, n. Y, Oct. l5.-The clcs
ing session OF the Indian conference was held
today. The success or failure of the allot,
ment scheme was the main theme of the
day. General WhittleSey said he believed
there was now enough light to believe that
the allotment had been a wise and benei-
cent policy.
Majcr Woodson. U. S. A.. continued his
account Of the operations OF the system al
the Cheyenne snd Arapahce agencies in Ok
lahoma, He contrasted the ndition OF
these Indians twelve years ago when an
outbreak from them was feared with the
peaceful industry now existing. He empha-
sized the Importance of the service rendered
by the farmers and field matrons and urged
the conference to use its influence especially
to procure n increase in the number of the
latter.
Albert x. Smiley desc. ibed cas.s of Indians
who cannot well take their lands in sew
crafty now. Among these are the Nayujos,
who are pastoral and drive lher hoeks a
thousand miles, the tribes in southern Cali
fornia who cling to the place where they
have long lived and the PueblOs OF New
Mexico, who will not give up their village
life and community ownership of land.
Rev. Dr. Hubbell of Buffalo explained the
situation of the New York Indars 5000 in
number, with $4,000 acres of land and their
unwillingness up to this time to take land
in severalty on account of threatened claims
upon their land in such case by the Holland
L-nd company. DR. Frlssell. Miss Ives Rev.
CharleI w. Shelton, Miss Scoville, D. Hart
marn, Re-. Or. Smith cf HartfCrd, Mr.. Frank
Wood ana others spoke briefly.
Rev. Dr. A. E. Dunning Of Boston urged
the retention OF the Indian names for In
dians and Mrs .Qulnton pointed out the
objections she found to this. The confer
ence adjourned after an extended session.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Electric fans bu2zed
merrily on Judge Tuthll's desk today, but
ten feet away men and women sat and
swelterei as they listened to the closing
argument of ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel
for the defense in the Luetgert trial. The
crush of humanity at the criminal court
building was terrific. A hundred times the
number of people the court room would ac-
commodate clamored for admission. After
the court corridors were crowded with
more people than could be seated in the
court rom hundreds stood in line on the
sidewalk outside and persisted in their de-
mands for admission. 1t was the greatest
crowd the trial mas yet seen and the noisest.
Collisions between guards and deputy sher-
Ills on one side and the mixed throng on the
other were frequent in the early morning
and much loud ana vulgar talk was in
dulgcd in. The speeChmaking in this ia
nous case seems TO be the greatest card in
the two months continued judicial per-
formance. More than half the number of
the crowd that surged, pushed. pulled. ges-
ttculated demanded, beseeched and other
wise ought admission to Judge Tuthill's
court was composed of women
Luetgert came into court looking much
improved in personal appearance He also
appeared to have had a better nights rest
Than upon Wednesday night. He greeted
his son, Arnold Luetgert, and William
Charles his business partner, with hearty
handshakes. Then he turned and facel the
large audience present. His heavy eye
brows were contracted ana the habitual
scowl deepened Luetgert gazed about
him, apparently in search of the presence
of friends.
EX-Judge Vincent took up the evidence in
the case and discussed it at length. He de.

against whom mpeaching testimony was in
troduced, and practically admitted that the
story Charles told was the story Luetgert
would have told had he gone on the witness
stand. The bone experts were discussed and
those of the prosecution were ridiculed. while
n" eXrerts of the defense we eXtoled.
Tomorrow States Attorney Deneen will
speak. He will c.ose the case in a five hour
argument. 1t is expected that one hour and
a half will be required for Judge Tuthill to
read the voluminous instructions.

No Settlement Likely.

All efforts to settle the Ellen Timony
claim have proved futile, and possibly the
city will have to stand suit. Mrs. Timony
was injured last February by falling on a
slippery sidewalk. Certain attorneys got
hold of the case and filed a claim for S. 900.
This was not pushed and recently Mrs.
TimCny sent a written offer to the council
agreeing to settle for $3.50 The council was
willing to pay $3.50 but no more and so the
matter has been dropped as far as negotia-
Ions are concerned

Arguing the McHugh Case

Floods of oratory were encountered by all
who invaded the upper floors of the county
court house yesterday. The arguments OF
the attorneys in the Mcdugh case occupied

the time arrived last evening for the ad-
journment of court. Colonel Daley resumed
his argument for the Defense when court
convened in the morning and did not con-
clude it until after o'clock in the after
noon, making a speech that covered more
than a full days session of the court
County Attorney Saunders began his argu-
mont and gave the jury three-quarters OF
an hour more of oratory before court ad,
journed, and gave notice that he would
finish this morning. 1t is expected that the
case will reach the jury before noon.
