he raised a moustache.

1t will be remembered that a Phil
adeiphia horse was stolen from Wal
ter KateS' stable about eleven O clock
at night, and two days afterward the
animal was found nearly perished in
an old shed at Buffalo Park, an aban-
doned speakeasy The whole matter
was surrounded with much mystery,
and it was intimated that there was
a story behind it all.
1t was positively known that Wells
was the man who came to KateS'
barn for the horse, and a war
rant was issued for his arrest, by
Mayor Payne, of Millville. When an
officer entered the barber shop on
Jefferson street, Wells disappeared
from the back door and skipped the
town.
County Detective Lore located the
fellow in Philadelphia and Sunday
he was captured. Sheriff Hendee
went up after the man.
When he was brought to Bridgeton
he was taken Immediately to the
office of Justice f. M. Appellate.
Asked to make statement he re-
piled that his lawyer had cautioned
him not to talk, and he was taken to
Jail in default of bail.
Wells admitted that after he left
this city he went to Camden where
he was arrested for drunkenness, and
escaped Imprisonment because he said
he was Cumberland Constable
named Jackson.
Sunday night Wells was locked up in
default of bail, and Mayor Payne, of
Millyille, was notified.

RAIL PROJECT
Oregon Short Line May
Be Extended to San
Francisco.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Nov 22.-The railroad
building in Northern California, present
and prospective, has led to the revival of
the plan to build that section of road
which will close gap and give Califor-
mia another connecting road with the
East. The scheme accomplishes what the
Oregon Midland, proposed but not built,
would have done. The Burlington was
behind the Midland proposition, and it is
believed Eastern railroad interests are
fostering the new plan that is being dis
cussed.
The great increase in lumber and cat
tie traffic is causing branches from the
main line to push on In several direc-
tons. One of the latest projects is for
the extension of the branch from Mon
tague 20 Yreka, in the western portion of
Siskiyou County. Thomas B. Walker, the
lumber king, is expected to build long
branch through the eastern Sislkiyou tim
Der land.
prospective work that will have more
than local Importance, in that it will sup
ply link for a transcontinental system.
It is probable that one of the several Sis

Northern California and Southern Oregon
Will form part of trunk line down the
coast to Eureka, to join the old Donahue
road and reach San Francisco Bay at tt
buron, while northward a connection will
be made in Eastern Oregon with the Ore
gon Short Line to Utah.
a natural and easy route for crossing
Siskiyou County from Shasta Valley
would be an extension of the Yreka Rail
road to Scott Valley, then oyer Salmon
Mountain to Salmon River, or down Scott
River to the klamath, as may be deemed
upon survey to be the most practical way
to cross the level coast valleys direct to
Eureka, to which point the California
Northwestern or Donahue road is now
gradually extending.
A railroad from Eastern Oregon through
Siskiyou County to Eureka on the coast
would make connections for a short and
direct route to all Eastern Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and British CO.
lumbia. 1t would form another route to
Portland and Seattle and connect with all
the continental roads Of the north toward
the Atlantic.

INDIANS NEED
BETTER HOMES
Commissioner Jones Sug-
gests Solution of a
Problem.

WASHINGTON, Nov. PA policy
which, it is contended, will settle the en-
tire Indian question within a generation,
is announced by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs William Jones in his annual re-
port, made public to-day. His plan is to
give the Indian opportunity for self
support, the same protection of his per-
son and property as is given others, throw
him on his own resources and to enforce
on him the realization of the dignity of
labor and the Importance of building and
maintaining home for himself. Jones
says that at the outset the Indian must
have aid and instruction, and neceSSarieS
doubtless will have to be furnished him
until his labor becomes productive. Until
the Indian has become a part of the COM
munity in which he lives. day schools, the
Commissioner says, should be established
at convenient places, where the Indian
may learn enough for ordinary business
transactions.
The key to the whole situation, the
Commissioner suggests, is the home. The
larger and more powerful tribes, he adds
are located in an arid region, on unpro-
ductive reservations, often in rigorous
climate, where there is no chance to
make even living. In these cases some
thing should be done quickly toward
placing such Indians in position where
they can support themselves.
Commissioner Jones says the cutting off
of rations from all Indians except those
who are incapacitated from earning sup
port, has had very gratifying results, and
If followed up, will ultimately lead to the
abolition of the reservation and the alb
sorption of the Indian into our body poll
tic He makes the statement that the
present Indian educational system, taken
as a whole, is not calculated to produce
the results that were anticipated so hope
fully, and may be added to the obstacles
to independence and self-support, under
which class Jones had placed in
discriminate issue of rations, pc
riodical distribution of large sums
Of and h0 inc
of allotments. In the last thirty-three
years, the report says, over $240. .OO0. 600
has been spent on an Indian population
not exceeding 10000 Notwithstanding
this the Indian is still on his reservation,
heing fed money is still being paid him.
he is still dependent on the Government
for existence, and he is little, if any,
nearer the goal of independence than he
was thirty years ago, and if the present
policy is continued he could get little if
any nearer in thirty years to come.'

tween the Worlds Fair National Commis-

have authority over foreign exhibitors
but without result, and the matter will
now go to arbitrators under the act OF
Congress providing for the commission
The board of arbitration will consist OF
two members of the National Commission
and a like number from the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company. Should
they fail to come to an agreement a fifth
arbitrator will be appointed by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury
Rules and regulations adopted by the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company
for the government of exhibitors had been
presented to the National Commission for
made some amendments which the local
company refused to accede to and thus
the matter stands. At the meeting of the
National Commission a statement was
authorized. 1t is in part as follows:
The matter in dispute between the Exposition
Company and the National Commission grows
out of a difference of opinion as to the con-
structien of the act of Congress under which
this commission was appointed and section 4
of the act Section provides for board of
arbitration. to whom >all matters of difference
arising between the commission and company,
concerning the administration, management or
general supervision of the exposition, including
power given by the act to the company or to
the National Commission to modify or approve
any act Of the other Of the two bodies. shall
be referred for determination. The decision of
this board shall be final in all matters present
ed to it for consideration and determination,
the act provides.
The commission under claim of authority
drawn from the provisions of the act generally
and especially from the section quoted, made
a modification of the rules reading as follows:
Should disagreement arise from the Expo
sitior Company and the representative of any
government, state, territory or district, such
representative shall have the privilege under
such rules of procedure as the National Com
mission may from time to time promulgate of
referring the matter in disagreement between
such representatives and the company to the
National Commission for consideration and ad-
justlnent with the company"
To this modification the company excepted.
The commission insisted upon the modification
and hence the subject in disagreement goes to
arbitration under the act
Ex-senator John M. Thurston of Ne
braska and ex-Congressman John M AL
len of Mississippi have been appointed
members of the board of arbitration on
behalf of the National Commission. The
names of the local members have IUt

EXICANS STEAL
SCHOONER SADIE
Throw Captain Of San
Francisco Vessel Into
Dungeon.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Nov. 22-Captain A. w.
Hall, who is well known among San
Francisco seafaring nl4n, arrived to-day
On the British ship Pass of Meifort, and
will proceed Immediately to Washington.
D. c., where ne viii ask the State De
partment to demand heavy damages from
Mexico. Captain Halls story of indig-
mites received at the hands of Mexican
officials is one Of thrilling interest.
Captain Hall was formerly master OF
the San Francisco schooner Sadle. Early
in the year he sailed away from san
Francisco with a crew among Whch
was q man who asserted that he knew
the location of valuable pearl fisheries IN
the Gulf Of California. The scnooner
made her way TO the headwaters OF the
gulf without incident and with every one
eagerly looking forward tc the profit that
was to follow the ventIe.
On reaching the site of the alleged pearl
beds, Captain Hall found it would be
necessary to engage natives to do the
diving for him, and accC rdingly proceeQeI
to a small settlement near the gulf. Inc
Mexicans were anything but friendly to
the visitors, and one night the entlre
party was driven away and the Vessel
confscated. Captain Hall and several OF
the crew were thrown into a dungeon.
After two months incarceration without
the privilege of communicating with his
friends in the States, Captain Hail sue
ceeded in breaking jail one night. t1e
miraculously escaped tie fusillade Of bu.-
lets that the guards sent after him.
For more than 200 miles in that Wild
country, Captain Hall travelled alone, fir
ally arriving at Santa Rosalia. He took
refuge on the British chip Falklandbank
The Mexican officials earned of his pres
ence and announced their intention Of
taking him from the vessel. The sailors
on the Falklandbank were true blue,
however, and carried aboard information
of the projected raid. The Pass of Mel
fort was in the stream ready for sea, and
during the night Captain Hall was trans
ferred aboard that vessel and made the
voyage to this port.
CAPTAIN Hall is convinced that he has a
lust and legal claim for damages against
the Mexican Government for depredations
on the part of subjects Of that country
He does not know the fate of the Sadie's
crew
