DIR. Haley interviewed.

DIR. ID. NJ. Haley came up
from his home at Savanna yes
terday and spent the day in the
city before going on to Krebs.
He was seen by a represent
tative of the Capital, and asked
what he thought of the proba-
BILE action of the special session
of congress rs to Indian affairs.
Replying he said:
Il SUPP ose that the apnro-
priation bill will be taken up
and passed, but just what they
will do rs to the affairs Of the
five tribes, | do not know, nor
do ] think anybody does.
Il learned from a man who
is very near the administration
that the personnel of the Dawes
commission is likely to be
changed and that federal Of
ficials in the Territory will be
allowed to serve out their
| terms.
1.-The impression rs far rs /
rs / could observe. is that if
any of the present members of
the commission are retained il
will be Dawes and Armstrong.
That is all guess work, howev-
err.

CLEANED OUT THE HOTEL
All They Could Eat and Drink, but ON
Imbibed Too Much

John Mcneil, a young man about IS
years of age, is in the county Jail, where
he was placed Sunday evening by I'm
der Sheriff Clements and Deputy Sheriff
Woodward, for completely in the robbery
of Dodson's hotel at Ell Monte last Sat
urday night. Mcneil was captured in
the willows after a long search, and
practically admits his guilt.
The robbery of the hotel had some Pc
culiar features. According to McNeil's
story five other men were engaged in
it. The hotel has an old-fashioned lamp
in front, which is kept burning at night,
and the prisoner says the gang drew
lots to see who would blow out the light
before the entry of the house was at
tempted. An entrance being affected the
crowd helped themselves to all the edi-
bles they could find in the dining room
and pantry and had quite a feast. II
they had stopped at that Mcneil might
have made good his escape, but the bar
room had fascinations for the crowd
they were unable to withstand. They
took cigars and all the whisky they could
lay their hands upon, and drank so freely
that they We're soon in an exceedingly
hilarious state.
Mcneil was little bit drunker than
the rest and was unable to make con-
nection with the south bound freight by
which the others got away He managed
to get as far as the river bank and had
partially slept off his jag when captured.

KEROSENE LAMP EXPLODED
A Cottage Goes up in Flames and Three
Persons Are nu-1ej
An Aged Woman Nearly Los IS Her Life,
Mother and Daughter ScorcEec.
Nothing Saved From the Wreck.

Fire last evening destroyed the cottage
home of William Mitchell at No. 762 o.
tawa street. entailing a monetary loss
of about $500, besides the severe burn
ing OF an aged woman. while two other
members of the family were painfully
scorched. The family had just packed
up all their furniture preparatory to
moving out to a place on Western ave-
nue. Pico Heights, but so suddenly did
the flames spread from the explosion of
a kerosene lamp that absolutely moth
ing was saved, everything being total
loss.
About $50 Miss Maggie Mitchell was
out in the kitchen and was crossing the
room with lighted lamp in her hand,
when it exploded and was dropped to the
floor. The burning oil spread in every
direction and the room seemed all aDfaze
in an instant. In side room leading Of
from the kitchen was Mrs. Maggie COX,
mother of Mrs. Mitchell so years old. and
bedrdden. Mrs. MitchelPs first Thought
was for her mother, and she dashed into
the room through the smoke, finding that
the flames had alread communicated TO
the bed clothing ard the old lady was III
imminent danger.
Alone and unaided, she managed by
superhuman eXertions to get her moth
er out of bed and dragged her into the
street, then turned and attempted to
enter the burning house again. to save
a large sum of money which had been
left in the pockets of a pair of her hus-
bands trousers. The flames were 100
fierce however, and she was beaten
back, sustaining painful burns about the
head. face and hands. Meantime Mrs.
Cox had been carried into the residence
7 L 4. H.
and a telephone alarm of fire sent in,
box AS, at Ninth and Pearl streets, also
being pulled.
The department responded, but by
the time the engines arrived the whole
structure was in flames, ard little could
be done. The fire had also communicated
to a cottage standing next on the east,
but this building was saved with but
little damage. Several streams were
soon playing on the flames, which were
extinguished. leaving the walls still
standing, but the interior a wreck. The
building was owned by Mr.. Mitchell and
was valued at $1,000, upon which he car
ried $500 insurance. The loss in house.
hold goods will amount to $500 more.
| DR.. Beckett was called to attend Mrs.
| Cox and found the old lady terribly In
| jured about the hands and head. Her
| hair was burned off and the face so bad
] ly scorched that the flesh peeled off in
| places. While the injuries are not nee
| essarily fatal. the advanced age of the
| sufferer makes her condition the more
serious. Mrs. Mitchell and her daughter
were less seriously burned and were able
| to be about, although swathed' in ban,l-
ages. Two years ago at Fiesta time the
| family returned home to find their resi-
| dence in ashes. and ill luck seems to pur-
I sue them in this regard. Mitchell is n

THE REMEDY POINTED OUT
The City Should Own Its Own Works

A Liberal Policy Advocated In the Govern
ment Of the City
Mayor RAIDER Sends In His Farewell
Message-A Review of What Has
Been Done, With Valuable
Future Suggestions.

Mayor Snyder yesterday sent his in
augaural message to the new city coun-
Gil, which document was received and
referred without debate to the commit
tee of the whole. The message, as Il
whole Is an allie document, and fairly
outlines the policy OF the coming ad-
ministration, as near as the city eX-
ecutive can control 1t. Special atten-
ton Is given to the water question, the
paramount issue of the municipal cam
paign, and there is no question but what
Mayor Snyder will use his best endeav-
ors to carry out the promises and
pledges of the Democratic party, which
elected him. The new mayor puts HIM
self squarely on record in favor of re-
form. He favors the liberal expenditure
of the public funds where it Is demand
ed by the public necessities for the
advancement of the city, but is opposed
to reckless and wasteful extrava gance
where it does not count. Altogether, the
message is an able document and re-
fleets the highest credit on the eXecu-
tive. 1t is given in full, and will repay
careful perusal by every citizen and
taxpayer.

THE BIG FIGHT TONIGHT
Gallagher and Burns to Meet in a Fif.

Judging from the interest centered in
tonight's exhibition at the Los Angeles
Athletic club, standing room in the big
gymnasium will be at premium. Many
seem to be of the opinion that the fifteen
round bout between Burns of Chicago
and Gallagher of Oakland is going to
be the best in the history of the club,
and there seems to be good grounds for
this opinion, as both men are known to
be clever and strong and are thought to
be about equally matched. Gallagher,

Upon a warrant charging him with

GetZ, Claude Van Norman was last
evening arrested at his home, No. 23e
East Thirty-first street. and booked at
the city Jail by officer Lennon. 1t ap-
pears that Van Norman and Getz had
some difficulty at Santa Monica last
summer over the ownership of a bathing
suit and that the old grudge was re-
opened last Sunday out in Vernon.
a fight ensued. during which Getz got
a blow in the face, which broke his jaw,
ard was generally used up. Just where
the alleged mayhem came in is unknown
but at any rate the arrest was made
and Van Norman must now answer In
court. The prisoner claims that he can
readily prove his innocence and show
that, even though he used up Getz in the
fight. he had great provocation for the
attack.
