washington. October 30.-In the United
States supreme court today an opinion was
handed down by Justice Brown in the case
of the appeal of the United States from the
decision of the court of private land claims
in the case of the Cuyamungo land grant,
situated in Santa Fe county, New Mexico.

Paz de Conway and associates and declin-
ing to concur In the decree lands covered
by patents issued to the Pueblo Indians
covering a large portion OF the grant
The decision rendered today holds that
these lands should have been excepted and
accordingly reversed tine opinion of the
lower court. The court affirmed the opin-
ion OF the private land court lin the case
of the claim of the town of Real de Dolores
del Orc to land also located in New Mexico,
affirming the decision of The court of priv
ate land claims. In the case Jae supreme
court found that The land i'm controversy

THAT the appellants were without legal
redress.
lie court, in an opinion by Justice Gray,
reversed the decision of Elae supreme court

MRS. BROWN FOR

Says Women Are TOadying to

Caustic Member of Woman's Club is of
Opinion That Many Men in Wash

Congressman-Elec
SPEAKS OF $4,000 DONATION

Chicago, October 30-"The politicians are
using Helen Gould's money to awaken sem
timental twaddle against Congressman
elect Roberts of Utah." said Mrs. Corinne
Brown of the Woodlawn Women's club and
chairman of the national industrial COM
mittee of the Federation of Women's clubs
today.
Every woman's club in Chicago has re-
cefved a petition from the National Anti
Plygamy League calling for signatures and
declaring the Roberts case to be the most
serious attack on the sacredness of mar
rage ties which has been made in quarter
of century AT the meeting of the Wood
lawn Woman's club Mrs. Brown was up
with her protest and refused to add her
name to those of her club sisters. She
said:
This is a precious paper, filled with anti
Roberts gossip. Do you think it mas been
prepared since Helen Gould took her stand
against Roberts? 1 believe it was in shape
long ago and only waiting for her $1,000 do
nation to spread it broadcast over the
country. I grant she is "a superior woman,
but the women of this country are not
going into this subject logically; tell you
they are toadying to Helen Could"
Mrs. Brown outlined her plea for charity
by saying: "Congressman-elect Roberts
supports his wives, he gives his children
name There is a greater evil than this
among our congressman today. l have
passed my time in Utah. have seen many
happy Mormon women. Polygamy is So
cial evil, but this is not the way to destroy
1T. There will be men in Washington VINO
will fear Roberts for he is fearless and he
has brains
The echo of Mrs. Browns words does not
carry conviction to the other women CLUBS.

are getting ready to do so and few don't
care to voice any thought in the matter

FOR THE SOLDIERS
Corps of Men Engaged in Receiving
Boxes

New York, October 30.-At the army pier
in Brooklyn today a corps of men were
busly engaged in receiving and recording
the wagon loads of boxes which came in
from all parts of the country for the United
States soldiers in the Philippines. The gov
eminent furnishes free transportation, and
many are taking advantage of the fact to
send Christmas boxes to their relatives and
friends in Manila. There were packages
and bundles of all sizes, each carefully la
beled and in most cases stamped Christ

Not only was their packages from indi-
viduals, but many firms sent presents, and
among these was a large box of literature

parture other gifts will ne sent by the

AN APPRENTICE INJURED
Fred Krugg Caught in Revolving Belt
and Badly Hurt

Fred Krugg, an apprentice in the Hardie-
Tynes Machine and Foundry company S
plant was caught in a revolving belt yes
teday at noon and seriously injured. One of
his legs was badly crushed and amputation
may be necessary.
1t seems that Mr.. Krugg had attempted
to replace some betting which had slipped
from pulley. He was caught in the re-
volving belt and when extricated was in an
unconscious condition.
The young man was suffering intensely
when removed from the belt and was soon
sent to the Hillman hospital. Here his
wounds were dressed and every possible at
tention given him. He was resting easier
last night, and the attending surgeon thinks
an amputation of the injured leg can be
avoided.

RUNNING ARMoRED TRAINS
Co. Baden-Powell Ready to Meet Beers
at Any Point

London, October 31-The Capetown corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says he learns
that Colonel Baden-Powen, British COM
mander at Mafeking, has laid a railway in
a circuit around the town ready to meet
the Beers at any point.
According to a dispatch from Durham to
the Daily Mail it has been ascertained that
the Natal Dutch have been actively assist
ing the Beers by carrying information re-
garding the British movements. 1t seems
that, although the landings and departures
of the troops are effected by night and the
greatest secrecy is maintained, yet the
enemy somehow gets information despite
the severe censorship.
1t is also believed in Durham that the
Dutch have assisted the Beers by pointing
out British officers in the battles.

the matter. The city appropriated $500 to-
wards Mardi Gras. and yet, in his opinion,
Rex had done nothing as compared with
the deeds of Admiral Schley. He urged the
people to go to work and raise the neces-
sary funds.
Mr.. steIner's Wit
Mr.. B. Steiner had heard great deal
about protests. At a meeting OF the board
and mayor of aldermen a committee from
a labor orga niZation, he said, had appeared
TO protest against any appropriation He
mad heard a great deal about popping
dhmpagne. He had popped a great deal,
and he had always paid for it. They, too,
coud pop, if they would pay for the pop
ping. He wanted the city Ito give some
thing, and he said he thought it to ought
10 regardless of the protests from any or
ganization of people that pay no taxes.
To Ureea City Appropriation
On motion of Mr.. Barrett, a committee
consisting of Captain f. s. White, Judge
j. j. Banks, j. L. Tanner, Robert Jemison
ana George NJ. Crukshank was appointed
TO appear before the board of mayor and
aldermen at the regular meeting Wednes-

ance of making an appropriation for the
entertainment of Admiral Schley. Mr.. A.
j. y Keefe, editor of the Arbitrator, Off
cFal organ of the knights of Labor, and
Mr.. e. e. Dorse were added to the COM
mAbtee.
Acting Mayor Pearce was anxious for the
necessary amount of money to be raised and
stated that he, as an alderman, would vote
fer the appropriation of $1,000.
Alderman Kerr wanted it understood that
the facts of his being present at the meet
ing did not mean that he would favor such
an appropriation.
The troubles between the Fair association
and the labor organizations were referred to
by Mr.. z. G. Bowman in which he said
the Fair association had been placed in
fause light. He said the Fair association
had no power to dictate what kind of labor
the contractor should employ on the build
ings.
Last Nights Subscriptions
At this point Acting Mayor Pearce said
Mayor Drennen had invited Admiral Sehley
to Birmingham in good faith and he be-
lieved the people would uphold him. He
wanted the money for the entertainment
raised at once and stated that he would
subscribe $50.
