RENDERED HIS DESIGNATION
Assistant District Attorney Lask
to Retire From OfFfce

Assistant District Attorney Laskey
to Retire From Office.
Assistant United States Attorney for the
District, John E. Laskey, has rendered his
resignation to District Attorney Anderson,
to take effect on Saturday next. 1t was
also rumored about the City Hall today
that there has been a graded reduction
made in the salaries of the assistant prose-
cutors and clerks in the District Attorney S
office.
1t, however, can be authoritatiyely stat
ed in reference to the resignation of Mr.
Laskey that it was in no way influenced
by this report. Some weeks ago Mr.. Las
key decided to sever his official connection
with the office, and when General Ander-
son assumed the duties of the Office he was
SO informed by Mr.. Laskey.
District Attorney Anderson expressed
regret on being informed of Mr.. Laskey' s
determination, and he told him that he
would have been pleased to have him re-
main. He also told him that several men,
bers of the bar and also some of the JUS
tices of the Supreme Court Of the District
had spoken of the valuable services he had
rendered during his connection with the
office.
Mr.. Laskey entered the District Attor-
ney's Office about four years ago during
the incumbency of Arthur A. Birney
District Attorney Anderson was asked
about the rumor in reference to the re-
duction OF salaries, and stated that no
action had been taken along this line. If,
however. there is a readjustment Of sala-
ries, IT will be with view of enabling
the office under the present appropriation
to carry five instead of four assistant pro-
secutors

q year for life-that was what Marvin Dut-
ton, Of Poughkeepsie, offered his son,
Gould NJ Dutton, and last night the young
man started in to win the prize. A closed
carriage brought him to the private en-
trance to Bellevue, and five minutes later
he was a patient in the alcoholic ward.
ready to begin.
It was dark when young Dutton came.
With him in the carriage was his friend,
an assistant to DR.. Frank c. Hollister, OF
264 West Seventy-seventh Street. When
wanted, he summoned DR.. Richards, who
has charge of the alcoholic ward.
This gentleman, said the physician,
wants to go to the alcoholic ward to be
cured" AS he spoke he handed DIR. Rich
ards letter to the superintendent. This
resulted in an order to let the carriage go
around to the private entrance, and the
new patient was admitted so that no
strangers saw him. His step tottered and
his eye gazed around him vacantly. Yet on
his features were stamped refinement and
intelligence. -.
But even influence at Bellevue cannot
hide some things. The young man was
compelled to- give his name and those of
his parents, Just as the poorest do. He
gave his name as could NJ. Dutton, thir-
ty-two years old, married. of 320 West Fiji
ty-thfrd Street" The address was found
to be simply a boarding place where the
young man had stopped when he came to
the city to reform. The physician with
him told the rest of the story.
Young Dutton," said he, "has beauti-
full wife, who loves him dearly, but drink
has estranged her. His father loves him,
too, and has offered him $4,000 to come
here and $1,000 more if he keeps sober
week after he leaves. If he can demon
strate that he will remain sober afterward
he can have an income Of $4,000 a year
and his fathers blessing.
At present the buttons are living apart.
But if the young man is resolved to let
drink alone his wife has promised to re-
turn to him. That's the reason I came"
explained young Dutton as he disappeared
within the recesses of the alcoholic ward,
ready to begin the process of SOLDERING up

THE INDIANS COMPLAINT.
A Creek Delegation Here to Have tn
Curtis Act Modified.

A Creek Delegation Here to Have the
Curtis Act Modified.
The visit of delegation of Creek In
is not likely to prove beneficial to them.
The delegation was headed by Chief Ho-
tul-ku Ho-ho-lo and it wants the Govern
ment to ignore the Curtis act and to re-
enforce the original treaty entered into by
the Government and the Creek Nation dur
ing the Admir- pistration of John Quincy
Adams in 1925.
Secretary Hitchcock is in the West with
the President. and he did not see the dele
cation, but the matter was referred by the
department to Major Larrabee. Chief of
the Indian Division, who heard the COM
plants and demands of the Creeks.
Through Sandy" Johnson the interpreter,
Chief Ho-tul-kee Ho-ho-lo said that since
the adoption of the Curtis act the Creek
Nation had been deprived of many rights,
and that whites and negroes had eneroach-
ed on the lands of their nation.
The Curtis act abolishes tribal court
trials, tribal legislation, and the holding OF
lands in common. Trials are now con-

been dissatisfied since the present law was
enacted, and they have been so urgent in
asking that it be abrogated that the In
terror Department has prepared an agree
ment for the Creeks to enter into which
modifes some of the provisions of the
Curtis act.
The proposed agreement allows tribal
government and trials in modified way.
but all acts of the tribal legislature un-
der the proposed agreement must be rat
flied by the President. The tribal courts
have no jurisdiction in capital cases, and
the agreement provides specially that
Congress does not abrogate its power to
make laws for the government of the ma
ton. Provision is also made for the leas-
ing of lands by the Creeks.
Major Larrabee informed an Evening
Times reporter today that the complaints
OF the delegation headed by Chief Ho- tul-
kee Ho-ho-lo will not be presented to Sec
retary Hitchcock. He said the Interior
Department is powerless to act in the mat
ter, and that the only relief the Indians
can get must be obtained from Congress.
II Congress ratifies the proposed agree
ment, the Creeks, he believes, will be sat
isfd. Major Larrabee will communicate
in writing these views to the delegation.

SHIPPING TRUSTS IN ENGLAND
Charges of Monopoly Made by n Lon
don, journal.

Charges of Monopoly Made by n Lon
dOnJ0urnal.
Consul Marshal Halstead, Of Birming-
ham, has transmitted to the State Depart
ment the following article from the Lon
don Chronicle which he says gives the
facts of the way the British shipping
trust Injuries British trade:
1.-THE board of trade has undertaken to
make an enquiry into the effect of the ship
ping rings upon our trade. The ring, or
conference as it is also called, is a COM
bination OF two or more lines of ships to
control the frelghts on particular ocean
trade route line-in other words to secure
a monopoly of particular freight market
for the benefit of the members of the ring.
This system Is so widely extended that
there are few ocean trade routes OF impor-
tance which are not in the grasp OF a COM
bination of the kind and the result is seen
not merely in the artificial enhancement
of freights from British ports, but in the
preferential rates given to foreign COM
petitors with British traders at foreign
ports.
1.-The ring may not be designed with that
object but its result is to give the Ger
man and other continental and American
traders tremendous pull in the markets
or Asia and Africa by reason OF the cheap
ness Of freights granted to them for the
carriage Of their goods by the same steam
ers as carry the goods of the Englishman
at very much greater rates. This system
is pursued by mail companies which re-
ceive subsidies from the home and eoloni-
al governments. and have not apparently a
keen sense of their obligations.
THE present position is that the British
shipper to South Africa has to pay a much
larger freight from his own ports by Brit
ish lines than the German manufacturer
or shipper has to pay at German ports by
the same lines.
The members Of the ring while they
were charging high rates to the British
exporters, were actually loading steamers
in America for South American ports and
running them a longer distance at lower
rates.
''Supposing England produces an article
as cheaply as America, we are bound to
go to America for it. because Of the def
cit in the freight rates. II we buy goods
at the same price In America as we do in
England and land them 10 to ID per cent
cheaper can We 90 to ENGLAND for thenl?.'

Fleet mt Hampton Roads

The North Atlantic squadron, excepting
the Texas, which arrived there yesterday,
entered Hampton Roads this morning, a
day later than expected. Orders had been
sent previously to Admiral Sampson at
Fort Monroe to direct the New Orleans to
return to the New York navy yard for re-
pairs necessary for her voyage to Manila.
The Brooklyn will not return to New York
before starting for the Philippines. She
will go from Hampton Roads. The orders
for the return of the New Orleans to New

back as soon as the orders were communi-
Gated to her commander.
