fired during a fatal conflict between said
Ayres and Lola Ida Henri Bonine We,
the coroner's jury. hold Lola Ida Henri
Bonine for the grand jury"
Before the jury rendered their verdict
a number of witnesses were heard. An eff
fort was made to show that Miss Miuas
could easily have heard voices through
the door connecting her room with that
of Ayres and that lights could have been
seen through the cracks. Detectives Horn
and Weadon testified to this effect but
Miss Minas declared she saw no lights on
the night of the shooting. She also tes-
titled that the cries she heard coming
from Ayres' room were made by a man 8

LITTLE WHIRLWIND RELEASED.
Desired BY Indian Observation-Disclosures
To Montana Governor.

New York, May 21.-At meeting of the
New York City Indian Association 1t was
decided to send letter of protest to Gov
ernor Joseph X. Toile of Montana, ask
ing the release of Little Whirlwind, the
young Northern Cheyenne Indian who it
is claimed is unjustly enduring life
sentence for murder. A letter signed by
Philip C. Garrett, president, and Herbert
Welsh, corresponding secretary of the In
dian Rights Association, read at the meet
ing contained rehearsal of the story.
The letter concludes by saying:
when the newly elected Governor was
installed in his office, at the beginning of
the present year. application was made to
him on behalf of the Indian Rights As
ISOLATION to pardon Little Whirlwind.
This. appeal was reinforced by a formal
request of the Secretary of the Interior,
as he was convinced, as a result of an
investigation made by one of the inspec
tors. of Little Whirlwind's innocence.
The Governor courteously promised to
look into the matter as soon as he could,
but thus far no action has been taken,
and Little Whirlwind, with his health
much impaired as a result of the conf1ne-
ment, continues to suffer for the crime of
another"

GOV. ALLEN SENDS REPORT

Washington, May Ex-Governor Charles
H. Allen of Porto Rico has presented to
the President through the state depart
ment his annual report. The Governor
expresses the opinion that a scheme of
colonial administration such as is found
In the Danish. French and English West
Indies, might be safely instituted, with
variations dependent upon the future
policy of the home government. The Gov
ernor refers to the many suggestions Of
fered that the form of territorial govern
ment adopted in the United States be ap-
Piled to Porto Rico, but points out that a
standard form of government which ex-
lists In the United States will not apply
successfully to this island possession. He
calls attention to the fact that while in
such close proximity to the United States,
Porto Rico has been comparatively un-
known to Americans.
IT feel as the result of a years close
study on the spot of all conditions sur
rounding this problem says Governor
Allen, that Congress will quite as far
as 1t could safely venture in the form of
government and observation; I fully be-
lieve, with good men devoted to the
work, the island will develop faster under
such form, and its people through exper-
fence and education will advance more
rapidly in their knowledge of civic vir-
tues under present methods than could
be gained In any other way
The Governor speaks plainly In pre-
senting the reason why this island has
been at a practical standstill for nearly
four centuries, and says that In eli
mate where a man can live in hammock
and pick a banana with one hand and dig
a potatoe with one foot, the incentive to
idleness is easy to yield to and brings
its inevitable consequence.
In conclusion Governor Allen urged the
introduction of fresh blood and Anglo
Saxon push and energy as the means
of lifting the little island out of its
lethargy and by thrift and industry de-
velop its riches to the full measure.

ROCKH|LL MAKES
CLEAR THE PLAN
China Must Deliver 4 Per Cent
Bonds to Countries
NO DANGER OF A RUPTURE
In Case of a Default BY China Each
Nation VIII Lose in Proportion
and Special Covenant
Binds Each Power.
NO DANGER OF A RUPTURE

Washington. May 1.-THE State Depart
ment has been made fully acquainted by
Mr. Rockhill with the character of the
preparations relative to the floating of
the indemnity loan unfolded at Pekin.
While grave objections are perceived to
the Russian project for joint guarantee
of the loan, because of securing the as
sent of Congress to an agreement which
would entangle the United States with
foreign nations for more than a quarter
of century at least. there is nothing
in Mr.. Rockhills instructions that would
cause him to antagonize the British prop
osition provided 1t is fully developed SO
as to secure the safety of the loan while
assuring the integrity of China. 1t is
suggested that these objections can be
best secured by causing China to deliver
to each nation bonds bearing per cent
interest to the face value of that nations
indemnity claim. The nation holding the
bonds could dispose of them at its pleas
ure. 1t could affix its own guarantee and
sell the bonds in the open market
The clause for the collection and distri-
button of interest contains the germ of
the guarantee of Chinese integrity. It is
proposed that an international board of
financiers collect periodically from China
the amount of income which the minis
ters at Pekin have decided can be ex-
tracted without running the country, this
money to be divided up between the pow
ers in the shape of interest In exact pro-
portions to the bond held by them. In
case of default by China each nation will
lose in proportion and special covenant
will bind each power to refrain from indi-
vidual action against China to secure the
payment of the arrears or to seize terri
tory in lieu of interest in default.
1t is calculated that this each power
will find it to it's interest to prevent a
division of China.
