THINK 1T A BUNCO GAME.
Interior Department OMcials Ques-
ton the Good Faith of the
sSOOnero Leaders.

i Washington, Dec. 20.-Interior department
officials are watching the operations of the
land boomers, who. it is alleged. are max
ing arrangements to enter the lands of
the Wichita, kiowa and Apache and Co
manche Indian reservations in Oklahoma.
treaty for the opening of the latter is
now pending before congress. Some Of the
literature of the persons who are work
ing up the boom has been received at the
department, in which commissions of men,
bership are offered for sale at the rate of
s. each. They have been scattered broad
cast throughout the country. The agents
are said to receive 50 for each member en-
rolled. The opinion is expressed at the de-
partment that the persons behind the
scheme have no idea of being permitted to
occupy the lands. but that they will, after
interesting Il large number of persons in it,
cease their operations. No particular place
of rendezvous for the proposed "sooners"
is indicated in the pamphlets received at
the department. The Indian agents have
been warned of the proposed movement.
and have been directed to call on the mill
tary to assist in preventing the forcible
occupation of the lands. Commissioner
Jones, of the Indian office. has recently re-
turned from visit to the Indian country
and is disposed to give little credit to the
proba bility of any invasion of the lands
and says. after an investigation of the re-
ports that there is nothing to be feared.

made the special target by the insurance

made the special target by the insurance
superintendent when other companies,
notably the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. are permitted to carry on their busi-
ness in the state unmolested without even
having a license.
1nasmuch as the Travellers has been
forced out of the state by the insurance
superintendent. it will probably insist on
drawing its money out also, and the farm
ers who have been accommodated by it
may be called upon to square up accounts.
Ex-Chief Justice Horton, who represents
the company in Kansas, said to-day that
the company had simply decided that rath-
er than to be held up by McNalrs "ex-
aminers," it would withdraw from the
state. The business of the company in
Kansas is not large enough to justify it in
permitting mg the insurance Superintendent
to bulldoZe it, said he. McNall can eX-
anime our company now. but he must do
SO at the states expense"
The Travellers last year received about
$4,000 in premiums from Kansas, and paid
about $4,000 in losses.
Governor Leedy looks upon the action of
the travellers as decided victory for Nc
Nall. "McNall has always told me-" said
he. that the Travellers would quit the
state before 1t would submit to an examina-
ton; that it was rotten and did not want
the very fact that it withdrew under fire
indicates that McNall knew what he was
tdLhlNS ABOUT. fTeSluent BatterSOn says
his company withdraws without n pang
OF regfet. l desire to say Kansas has no
panSS of regret, either. We could prob
ably worry along if several other such
Eastern companies pulled out, too; eSpe-
cially any who are afraid to have their
financial condition shown up"
This Is the way Ed c. Little sizes the
matter up: IF an Insurance company fears
investigation it ought to be investigated.
Insurance is a form of gambling. anyway,
and if man bets his money that his widow
Will receive a dividend he has the right to
know whether the bank is solvent. The
only way to know is to provide a superin-
tendent of insurance who will make those
companies toe the mark so that we can
stand it, the people should be glad to see
them co.
Attorney General Boyle said: This ac-
ton on the part of the company is un-
doubtedly a great victory for Mr.. McNall.
The company evidently fears the result of
an examination such as the superintendent
proposed, and rather than submit to it they
desert the Kansas insurance field"
State Auditor Norris said: This Is n
great surprise. The company ought to oe
enjoined from leaving the state and COM
PEELED to remain here, look after its prop
erty and pay taxes. The company owns
200 houses in Girard alone. There is one
the auditor, refiectively, and that is they
can't take their property out of the state.
1t seems to me that Webb McNall has won
another decisive victory in this matter"
Secretary Bush said: 1T would seem to
me that McNall's charges that the COM
pany has questionable assets are fully sus-
tanned. and, in fact, openly confessed by
the company IN its withdrawal from the
state. 1 do not see any other explanation
of the matter. '.

LADYKlLLER IN THE PULPIT.
The Rev. Mr.. ii. N. Manary, OF Terre
Haute, Forced to Apologize
to His Flock.

Terre Haute Ind. Dec. 20.-Rev. Mr.. H.
n. Manary yesterday apologized to the con-
gregation Of oregon Baptist church, and
thus discharged the duty required Of him
by the council of nine ministers which tried
him on the complaint of Miss Edith Sparks.
a member Of the church. All the specifica-
tions were based on extracts from a letter
he wrote to Miss Sparks. and the general
charge was that he had disgraced his min
isterial calling.
The council met yesterday. with DIR. Du-
bois. president of the Baptist college at
Upper Alton, ILL.,. as moderator. In the let
ter Manary said that he had held In his
arms more than twenty young ladies' !:
that he led another to worship him and
then crushed her for her idolatry." He
admitted writing the letter. and said that
the statement that he had held young
women in his arms was false As to
crushing the woman who worshiped'
him it ives said the young woman had
never made complaint and was happily
married.
The motion to withdraw the ministerial
fellowship was lost by vote Of seven to
two, and a report was adopted in which
it was said that he had committed great
wrong that he should apologize to Miss
Sparks and to the church. which he has
now done.

made, opposing the testimony. Commits
sioner Lucas, before whom the hearing is
being held. announced he would exclude the

DECLINES TO BOW TO M'NALL.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 20.-(Special) The
Travellers Insurance Company. of Hart
ford. Conn. has decided to withdraw from
Kansas. State Insurance Superintendent
McNall to-day received q letter from Pres
ident Patterson, in which he said that. in
order to save the company any further
trouble with the Kansas insurance depart
ment, it would pull out of the state, and
would Immediately notify all of its Kansas
agents to return to the home office what
ever property they had in their possession
belonging to the company. President Bat
tcrsons letter follows:
"Sir:-The Travellers Insurance Company
has determined to relieve itself from your
further annoyance by withdrawing its bust
ness from the state of Kansas and your ju-
to all commissioned agents in your state to
close their accounts and return equipments
without delay. We have no confidence in
the present management of your depart
| ment. and prefer to Withdraw rather than
be supervised by You and visited by your
agents. Your power for mischief is so
great, and your methods in discharginS the
duties of your office unusual. that we
retire from the state during your term OF
office without a pang of regret. Respect
| fully yours. JAMES G.. PATTERSON.
| President"
Insurance Superintendent McNall is not
| in the office to-day, but Chief Clerk Tat
man says it is just what the department
| tended all along that the Travellers would
| quit the state before it would submit to
an examination by this department" said
| he. This simply confirms his prediction.
| The company has been running a huge
| bluff right along. But when it heard we
| had started to examine its Kansas securi-
ties, which comprise about half of its real
estate holdings and real estate mortgages,
| it discovered that its bluff had been called
| and that the only way it could prevent the
| examination was to withdraw from the
state
The Travellers took charge of the acci-
| dent insurance business of the Santa Fe a
short time ago. and the superintendent has
| lust issued it licenses for sixty local agents
| to handle that business alone. That COM
pany has always done good business in
| the state and it has probably more money
invested in Kansas real estate and real
estate mortgages than any other insur-
ance company i'll the world. This being
| true. 1t seems rather strange that it Is

Nothing Being Neglected.

Secretary A,ger is not neglecting any
thing that might possibly contribute to the
wisely caused inquiries to be made 10
the advisablity of employing condensed
foods in this relief work instead of crude
foods. like beef, bacon and flour. The ad,
vantage 10 be gained by using condensed
foods is just about 80 per cent in weight.
The condensed food used in Arctic eXped',
tons such as emulsions and dessicated
vegetables. enable men to sustain their
strength while enduring hard work and eN-
and the men who are indoors could easily
live upon one pound n day: In comparison
with these small weights the regular army
ration Is nearly four pounds 4 day.
Secretary Algcr would like to send TO
Dawson 1000 tons of food. and thinks of ad-
veItising for proposals for the transporta-
ton of that quantity. That would he 1000
otI pounds. enough at two pounds 4 day
to supply 5000 men for 100 days This is ls5 a
and larger than could be sent over the
passes and along the trail in a month if the
whole United States army were put at the
t;Isk. Two mill ion pounds would mean ,,opI

course relief on such a scale Is simply i'm,

May he will have reason to be proud OF his
achievement.
The wha1cr Relief Expedition.
The government has its hands full of re-
lief expeditions just now. 1t is proposed by
the treasury department to supplement- the
r,ilet WOfk OF tne revenue cutter Iptai
among the distressed whalers in the Arctic
ocean by dispatching the revenue cutter
Corwin to her assistance in the early spring.
Repairs are being pushed on the Corwin IN
order that she may be in readiness to start
just as soon as the conditions in the North
Pacific are favorable for her departure.
Her first duty will be to lind the Bear. 1t
Is not intended to place any large amount
of supplies on the Corwin. Captain Shoe
maker. chief of the revenue cutter service.
says the Bear is supplied with sufficient
fcod to relieve all the whalers who may be
in distress, and it will therefore not be nee
essary for the Corwin TO take on board any
additional supplies when she leaves San
Francisco. 1t is not believed at the depagt-
ms Mt that the Corwin will have much diff.
Guilty in finding the Bear. The trouble Will
be experienced in reaching her. as the Bear
will probably he pretty far into the ice by
nexl spring. However, it is thought by de-
partment officials that the Corwin ought to
start as early as possible. so that she may
reach the ice-bound cutter and be of service
in aiding in the distribution of relief.

annual report will refer to the mission OF
the Bear. and will describe it as the great.
est relief expedition ever undertaken. hut II
