Distribute Presents to the Poor
Children OF the City.
The New Store acted the part of Santa
Claus yesterday, and made glad the
hearts of over 5000 poor children of Min
neapolis by distributing 1900 articles Of
wearing apparel, toys, sleds, etc.
This was the fourth annual Christmas
distribution which has been held by this
store, and long before the time had ar
rived for the opening of the doors of the
armory the street in front of the building
was packed with mass of children of
all ages who had come to have their
hearts made glad by securing sorie gift
which they might carry home as their
own.
The management Of the store had pro-
vided entertainment for them as Wei as
presents. The Journal Newsboys' band
discoursed music for them while they
were waiting, and during the distribution
of the presents. a 81 sz555 q. -
The little folks behaved admirably, and
never once did they give those in charge
any trouble by crowding or getting over
anxious to secure some of the much
coveted gifts. The distribution of these
gifts has become an annual affair, and is
looked forward to with much pleasure
and anticipation by the poor children OF
the CITY.

WILL MAKE TROUBLE
@. e. sEELYE SAYS HE WAS
FALSELY 1siPRIS-
ONED
LuMBERMEN ARE DENOUNCED
He Will Go to Washington to Show
by the Records Where
Fraud Is Com
United.

Charles E. Seelye, who was released
from the county jail yesterday upon oe-
ing pardoned by President Roosevelt, de-
clares that he is soon to go to Washing'
tor to show by the records that the tWe
men who We're responsible for his arres'
have been guilty of gross fruad upon
the government. and that his own ar
rest and incarceration was due to the
malign influence of the two.
Seelye was charged with having set fire
to the timber upon three sections of lanu
in April, 1900. He says in his own ne
half that prior to the time Of his ar
rest a man named George Nichols had
been granted a contract to cut the TIM
Der upon the sections referred to, AND
had cut about 100000 feet when stopped
by the government Inspector. CERTAIN
parties paid him $4,000 to relinquish his
contract.
1.-THE balance of the timber upon the
land is still standing said he.
ssUnder the system of supervising the
work of cutting this dead and down it
was the easiest thing in the world for
the loggers and lumbermen to defraud
the government.
ST shall leave for my home at Grand
Rapids tonight and in few days shan
go to Washington and there shall make
II my DuSintSS W SliOW ny seliS ASSoA 49,
that the parties I am after should be
dealt with according to law
Mr.. Seelye says that during the first
year of Land Commissioner Herman g
administration only dead and down TIM
Der was cut. Then the lumbermen Sc
cured a ruling that markers should des-
ignate the timber to be cut He says ev-
cry lumber camp had marker en-.
ployed by the contractor and an I'M
mense amount of green timber was cut
for the reason that one inspector could
not watch $50 men at work upon a large
area.
Another source of fraud was the sale
of forty-acre tracts. A forty might have
100000 feet Of timber upon it. Half of this
would be dead and the result would be
that the lumbermen paid for 25O,0O0N fee,
and received a present Of similar
amount of dead and down.
When the land was cut over i; was
sold by the lumbermen often for more
than they paid for the timber alone.
The lumbermen, says Mr.. Seelye, OBJ
ject to the cutting OF dead and down
because the proceeds go to the Indian
fund, whereas if they purchase stump
age they are presented with; the dead and
down timber and enabled to make a
good profit.
Mr.. Seelye claims that Indian Agent
Mercer has allowed timber to be cut on
allotted lands, the individual property OF
the Indians to whom allotmentS have
been made, thus working an injustice to
the actual owner of the property.
