MAKING AN INVESTIGATION.
Sending Of the crees Off the Reserva.
ton Being Inquired Into.


Secretary A. F. Longeway has re-
ceived the following letter from Indi-
an Commissioner Jones, in answer to
complaint he made to the depart
ment of the interior regarding the
Cree Indians. says the Great Falls
Leader, whom it is claimed were put
off from the Flathead Indian agency
while several cases of smallpox ex-
listed among the renegades.
"In reply to your letter of June IS,
addressed to the secretary of the in
terror. in regard to the complaint
from Flathead county that the agent
at the Flathead agency, Montana,
elected band of Cree Indians and
haf-breds from the reservation, who
had been there for some time suffer
inf from smallpox. and that at least
one case had existed in this band for
two weeks prior to the time of eject
ment; furthermore, that these In
dams had wandered down to Kalis-
pell. were there found to have small
poX and are now in quarantine; that
the state law is very emphatic in pro-
hibiting infected cases to travel
about. and that you are having great
difficulty in stamping out the disease
in that state; also that such acts as
those above referred to are apt to
make the matter as bad as it was six
months ago; that your board has
these Indians quarantined and cared
for by the county authorities. and that
you had notified said authorities that
you would take the matter up with
the department of the interior, and
you now ask what should be done in
the matter of reimbursing Flathead
county, and what action should be
taken in regard to the ejectment in
this particular instance. You are ad.
vlsed that until it is clear that your
statement is true, this Office can take
no action; that it has already com.
municated with the United States In.
dian agent at the Flathead agency
on this subject and his reply is clear
and explicit that no Crees or half
breeds had left the reservation with
his knowledge. He has been asked
to make full report, and on its re.
celpt' II it is clear that the govern.
ment. through its employees, has fail.

1t is rather curious view that
the Muscular takes of the action of
the negro, Johnson, who informed
the officers of the whereabouts of
one Healey, criminal who escaped
from the Butte Jail. AS result of
Johnson's information Healey was re-
captured and returned to Jail. The
Muscular almost eXhausts the
English vocabulary of it's choicest
epithets in scoring Johnson-says his
action as informer brands him as
Thoroughly depraved and damnably
contemplate" If this is a just char
acterization of Johnson, what is to
be said of the policeman, detectives,
sheriffs and other law officers who
are spurred on to the apprehension
of criminals by the promise of re-
wards? Are they, too. Thoroughly
depraved and damnably contempt
ble?" And if the offer of rewards for
the capture or the recapture of Grim
inals encourages actions which
stamp men as thoroughly deprayed
and damnably contemplate" is it
not a bad practice, and should it not
be discontinued by governors and
others who offer rewards from time
to time? The Missoulian's excoria.
ton of Johnson indicates that it be.
lieves the man who aids in bringing
a criminal to justice deserves to be
ostracised b" decent people. This is
most extraordinary. Conversely, the
man who shields and defends a flu
gftive from justice is a good citizen
an honest man and a fit associate for
law abiding citizens.

CLEARING THE FISH PONDS.
VOrkmen Take Out Numbers of Large
Month RRau.

Mouth Bass.
There were busy times at the govern
ment fish ponds, near the Washington
monument, today. A force Of expert fish
ermen, under the direction of Superin-
tendent G. w. Green began the fall seine
hauling for large-mouth bass. The first
order for the shipment Of these fish Give
hundred) was received yesterday, and the
work Of gathering In the fish commenced
in earnest today and will be continued
until the time arrives for the ponds to be
drawn at the final roundup" as Super
intendent Green expressed it.
AS the several catches were taken
from the seine with scoop nets. it was seen
that notwithstanding the vigilance of the
employees, fish of other varieties than bass
had trespassed. There were taken out
numbers of carp, sunfish, smelt, white
and yellow perch and variety of min
nows. The carp will be cut into pieces
and used as food for the large breeding
bass which are retained in the ponds.
The sunfish, always pugnacious. are
very destructive to young bass, Mr. Green
said. They manage to get into some of
the ponds from the river, and many even
come through the hydrants in the shape of
spawn.
Last year $4,000 large-mouth bass were
taken from the ponds. About the same
number may be taken out this fall After
being taken from the seine they are di-
vided into three sizes and placed in re-
ceiving reservoirs, there to remain until
the time of shipment.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
Charged With Fast Driving.

Cornelius Crawley. colored, was tried In
Judge Kimball's court this morning on the
charge of fast driving. The accusation was
made on complaint of Frank Dimmick,
who was knocked from his bicycle by the
defendants team and sustained the frac-
ture of rib and injuries to his hip. The
affair occurred, 1t Is said, on Executive
avenue ten days ago, while Dimmick was
on his way to his place of employment.
The complainant charged that the de-
fendant's horse was going at the rate of
about eight or ten miles an hour while his
bicycle was moving at the rate of about
two or three miles. Witness said the horse
was going at the rate stated when the
turin was made at Pennsylvania avenue.
The defendants wagon, the witness stated,
collided with a garbage wagon.
This statement the defendant denied. He
also denied that he was guilty Of fast driv-
ing or that he drove on the wrong side of
the street. Judge Kimball continued the
case in order that he may hear the testi-
mony Of the driver Of the garbage wagon.

PRECEDENCE GIVEN.

Rule of Commissioners Regarding
Street improvements.
The District Commissioners have recent
ly taken occasion to state quite positively
their position in regard to the precedence
to be given streets which are scheduled for
Improvement. They assert that where 1t
Is deemed advisable and economical to the
District they are privileged to delay the
work on any of the streets at the top Of
the schedule, and proceed with the i'm
provements Of other roadways, which are
included on the schedule. but which may
not be placed in an important position
thereon.
The matter was brought up by E. Richard
Shipp, an attorney. who wrote to the Com
missioners requesting that the improve
ment of Delaware avenue northeast, from
Fl street to Florida avenue. be proceeded
with Immediately. He said the avenue was
on the schedule of streets to be improved,
as provided by Congress, and his under
standing Of the law was to the effect that
It is mandatory and does not permit of any
change In the schedule, as contemplated by
the Commissioners. The Commissioners in
the consideration of the improvement Of
Delaware avenue, found that the proposed
changes in the grades and tracks Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad would make
an Improvement of the thoroughfare at this
time decidedly inadvisable.
The Commissioners have written to Mr.
Shipp, saying:
1T has always been the Interpretation
of the law in the case that the word
practicable applies to the entire schedule
and the Commissioners do not consider it
advisable to expend public money in MAX
ing an Improvement which must be destroy
ed within year or two and thus cause the
money to be wasted. The plan adopted by
the Commissioners Of leaving streets at
the head of the list until the work can be
economically done was explained to Con-
gress, and was considered satisfactory to
It, This has been done in another case in
the southeastern section Of the city, and
had this not been understood between the
Commissioners and Congress the order of
the schedule would not have been changed
so as to avoid an expenditure upon the
street in question:

MIR. MACFARLAND AT HOME.
VIII Preside at the Meeting to Be
Held Sunday.


Held Sunday.
Mr.. Henry B. F. Macfarland, president of
the board Of District Commissioners, re-
turned to Washington this morning on the
special train from Canton bearing Gen.
Nelson A. Miles and the special guard of
honor composed of prominent officers of the
army and navy. Commissioner Macfarland
was to have come home on the train with
President Roosevelt, but missed it at the
Canton station.
Commissioner Macfarland represented the
District Of Columbia as one Of the honor
ary pallbearers at Mr.. McKinley's funeral,
together with the President and the cab
met and Governor Nash of Ohio. He ex-
presses himself as greatly impressed with
the solemn and touching scenes in Canton
and the evident personal grief of all it's
people, He thought the arrangements made
under the direction of Judge William R.
Day admiral ble and that they were admira-
bly, carried out, and praised the hospitality
of the people, who opened their houses to
entertain the more prominent guests. He
was inclined to think that the reports of
Mrs. McKinley's condition were exaggerat-
ed and that under the care of Dr. Rixey
she will continue to improve.
Commissioner Mcfarland heartily APP
proves of the proposed memorial meeting
Sunday afternoon and will very willingly
redeem the promise of Commissioners Ross
that he should preside on that occasion.
