FuIIbIoods Return.

J
$4,000, which the poor deluded
fullbloods of the naIion had.contrib
uted for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of Dick, Gritts and
John Grass to Washington, d. c.,
to fix matters up for them there,
returned in time to preside at the
secretary's desk of the Keetooyah
held at the Bug Tucker spring, this
district the 14th, instant. 1t is re-
ported that a meeting wss had just
after the close of last council and
ii was decided that the Keetooyahs
send delegation to the capitol OF
the United States, and all mem.
bers must contribute" for the ex-
penses to be incurred by the the
trip. These English speaking
people were gravely told that such
pilgrimage was absolutely neces-
sary, for "their rights and those OF
their children, both political and
property, and their liberties; guar
anteed by law and treaty, were in
iminent peril" " hence the "contri-
button" was forthcoming, and Dick
was made treasurer and the trio
started on their sacred pilgrimage
However, for some reason Dick
had some business via Fort Smith
and Little Rock, and would meet
Grtts and Grass in St. Louis.
When they met in the city on the
banks of the Mississippi, Dick re
ported he had been robbed ~, but
had enough money to send Gritts
and Grass back home, but their trip
must be abandoned. Thus it was
so. Dick, doubtless told them, he
would be compelled to remain a
while in the city and "sing for
SOUP" till he could hear from
home people to get money to come
back on. These poor deluded, mis-.
informed, misled non-english
speaking people are still conhding
in and listening to the little song
of Muskrat, Gritts and Dick, and
many of them honestly and sincere
ly believe that all their laws will
be given back again, that the white
man will be elected, beautiful cul-
tivated fields waving with golden
grain will be converted into for
ests and .Prairies, in and over
which will roam the deer, elk, an
telope, bear and buffalo, with a
superabundaDce of small game.
How long will vampires be per-

THE PLAGUE IN FRISCO.
Mayor Pheinn TeIeEraphs the Facts
10 the District commissioners

James d. Phelan, mayor of San Fran
CISCO has sent a communication to the
District Commissioners relative to the bu-
bonic plague in that city. He states that
press reports of the disease there ha re
been greatly exaggerated. and he desires
that the true facts be made known In
Eastern cities, out of justice to San Fran
cisco. Mayor Phelan says:
Eastern papers just received refer TO
a sporadic case of bubonic plague in San
Francisco. The Board of Health reported
such case on March s. twenty days ago.
Since then our Chinatown has been thor
oughly inspected and disinfected. and no
other case has appeared. All persons now
freely visit the district as usual. On &C
count of the vigilance and efficiency of
the local health authorities and the Fed
eral quarantine there is no future danger"
Mayor Phelan expresses regret that a
wrong impression should have gone abroad
through press reports, regarding the plague
in his city, and he has communicated with
Washington and other cities in the East
TO deny officially that more than the one
case has, up TO this time, appeared in San
Francisco

The dissolution of the Building Trades

much conversation last night among the
trades unionists of the District. Several
prominent members OF local organized la
Dor were seen ana asked their opinion as
to the result OF the dissolution of the

a body of similar functions and composed
of like material will not be formed at
least not in the near future.

prominent part In the atiairs of the build
ing trades stated that III his opinion a
building trades branch would be organ
lied within the Central Labor Union, and
that all matters pertaining 10 the welfare
of the trades will be looked after through
that body. Such an arrangement as this
he said, would be entirely satisfactory to
the members Of the unions formerly affil-
lated with the defunct council, because
they. with few exceptions. are all trades
unionists. A proposition along this line.
he stated. will in all probability be sub
lnitted at the Central Labor Union on Mon

EBERT HUBBARD's LECTURE.
The Editor of ''The PhiIistiner De-
scrfbes the ROycr0ft Shop.

The Philistine Magazine and writes
nearly all of it as we'll. and the head
of the ''Roycroft Print. Shop" which has
discovered East Aurora. n. Y, to
the world, Iectured last night at the Ma

of the Roycrofters and their work of
making books and things from the be-
ginning, when he and a friend printed
the first copy of the S"Philistine" to
roast" Mr.. Box because he said widows
should not wear tan shoes to the pres
eDt time, when his big establishment is
making and binding beautiful books and
making andirons and heavy oak furniture,
and doing dozen other things little
better than other people are doing them.
The audience was full Of "Philistine"
readers, and most of those who went 70
hear MIN without knowing his work came
away devoted Hubbardites without
further training, SO that it was a sympa-
thetic and much enjoying gathering.
Mr.. Hubbard is tall man, with look
like William Jennings Bryan, which he
accentuates by smiling after Mr.. Bryan's
manner. In his outward appearance this
smile and his widely flowing black scarf,
like woman's jabot. are the most strik-
ing features. Ills entire lecture Is com
bination of smiling philosophy and humor,
dressed and fashioned in odd individual
ways like his jabot, scarf, hanging outside
his black frock coat.
Mr.. Hubbard has made fine success OF
his work in East Aurora. he says. People
are buying the things his woTkmen make
more and more every year, and the num-
Der of workmen and women, old and Young,
taught and employed is growing steadily.
He speaks of the Roycroft Shop as a
sociological experiment, and the people
who heard him tell of the things IT has
done are quite willing to believe that the
experiment is a valuable and successful

ALLEGED PICTURE THIEVES.
Former Employees of William Ii.
NeerhoR Arrested.

Louis Kohlman, about thirty five years
of age, and Robert Anderson. nineteen
years old, were arrested last nigh by De-
tective Browne, and locked up at the First
precinct station, charged with a number
of cases of petty larceny. Both prisoners
were formerly employees of William H.
Veerhoff. who conducts an art store at 1907
f Street northwest.
Reports of robberies at the Veerhoff es-
Establishment were received by the police
several days ago. and since that time the
detective has been working on the case.
He learned that Kohlman had been en-
ployed by MIR. Neerhoff in the capt lity of
foreman. for nine months past. md that
Anderson had worked at the store for II
longer period. Thefts had been going on
for number of months, and after an in
vestigation, suspicion fell upon Anderson
as a party to the robberies.
When Anderson was locked up he re-
fused TO speak of the charge against him.
Shortly after placing his prisoner at the
First Preeinst station, Detective Browne
went to the Veerhoff store and arrested
Kohlman. who was also locked up on a
number of larceny charges. Prior to this
action, however, the detective secured a
search warrant and visited the home of
