RIGHT TO CUT TIMBER
Is Involved In Arrests of Seventeen
Oneida Indians.

OhelO9 1nul0hSs
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, jan 4-Seventeen
Well-to-do farmers on the Oneida Indian
reservation have been arrested by the
United States marshal, charged with cut
ting. timber belonging to the government
to the value of $4,000 At the same time
the government is preparing to bring suit
against q number of prominent mill own
ers in the northern part of the state to
recover the value of the lumber, which
will approximate $1,000. Three lumber
ing firms are involved.
1t is charged by the government that
the Indians cut more timber than they
were permitted to. The Indians however,
claim that the right to cut timber was
an unlimited one.
The result is that there will be a big
fight between the Indians and the mill
owners on one side and the government
on the other 1t will result in definitely
determining the rights of the Indian as
to lands that have been allotted him, ard
as to the rights of the Indian as a cit
izen. The arrests were made on an
order received from Washington

New Orleans (SpeciaD The event
that followed the murder of John Gray
Foster, of Shreveport. by Prince Ed
wards, a negro, on the Foster plantation,
in Bossier parish have brought about
condition of suspicion and panic in
North Louisiana which is proving so de-
moralizing to the agricultural and other
interests that the newspapers and leading
planters and business men are taking
steps to overcome the scare, restore or
der and bring the people white and
black. to their senses again.
Mr.. Foster was a member Of one of
the wealthiest and most prominent fami-
lies in the state As his murder appear
ed to be the result of an organized
movement against him. a committee of
prominent citizens started an invest
cation. II disclosed the fact that nearly
all the negroes on the Foster place were
members OF fanatcal religious organi-
zation known as "the Church of the Liv-
ing God" The papers of the church,
which were secured, showed that its
members made a practice of praying for
the death of its enemies. and that Mr..
Foster had been thus prayed against. 1t
was also disclosed that the church was
completely under the control of negro
who styled himself Prophet" Smith.
The result of the investigation was the
lynching of Smith and the treasurer of
the church tnd the dissolution of the or
ganization.
But the publication of these facts has
had unexpected results. II has caused
a scare among the whites and the ne
groes, which is threatening serious re-
suits throughout North Louisiana to all
industries
A few days ago negro named
Thomas Choman was lynchcd at Grard,
La. The act seemed wholly nexcusable
and was really the result of panic on
the part Of the whites. Thomas was re-
ported to have stolen bottle of ginger
pop from a merchant at Girard. When
accused of il by the merchant he hit the
latter on the head with bottle and was
shot three times in return. and probably
mortally wounded. He managed to get
away to his home. however.
Various sensational stories were ci-cu-
lated about the affair. A short time be-
fore negro preacher from Shreveport
had gone through Rchland. in which
parish Girard is situated and had or
ganized several lodges OF the Sons and
Daughters OF Jacob. Thomas had not
only joined the association but had
been active in the organization OF new
lodges. Panic gave great significance
TO this fact, and it was finally announced
that the ''Jakes," by which name the
Sons and Daughters OF Jacob became
known, were secret negro society al
lied with the Church OF the Living God
that Prince Edward. the murderer OF
Foster, was organizing lodges, that the
organization was directed against the
whites, and that its members were filled
with bitterness against all white per-
sons
