WOULD PUT INDIANS
IN WHITE SCHOOLS.
Government Will Experiment
With Compulsory Education for
Its Wards in the West.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, April 10.-The Government Is
now entering upon Its last three months Of
relations with the ordinary contract schools
for Indian children.
The appropriation act which becomes op-
erative on July contains no provision fer
contracts with any school except Hampton
Institute, which has been retained because
OF Its exceptional character. 1t Is unoe-
nominational; It Is missionary institution

GELS that of any other school,.

lishment of some system of compulsory ed
ucation. Whenever the social and other

head for the Indian contingent In lieu OF

ever. where the experiment has proved sue
cessful enough to encourage q hope OF Its
continuance. In one white school In Michl-
gan. forty-one Indian pupils are enrolled; In
three in Nebraska and in one in Wisconsin
there are twenty or more; two In Nebraska
and one in Washington have more than ten,
but the Tes to Ste 6w schools in
which Indians are taken are sprinkled
through eight States and one Territory, and
the average of actual attendance is only u8
in all.
The experiment has been only ten years in
progress It made its greatest upward
stride during Doctor Hailmann's service as
Superintendent of Indian Schools. but the
decline has been steady since 1897. The sta
tistics here given do not. of course, include
the State of New York. which assumes care
Of its own Indian children, or the Five Civ
il.zed Tribes in the Indian Territory.

ten Contracts, to Be Attested
and Recorded.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Albany, n. Y, April 1o-After fighting for
two years. Assemblyman Weekes of New
York Tuesday obtained the concurrence Of
the Senate in his much-talked-of common
Law marriage" bill.
This measure provides that marriage may
be contracted, in addition to the perform
ance Of a civil or ecclesiastical ceremony, by
the signing of a written contract of mar
riage by both parties in the presence Of
two witnesses. . :.
This must be attested in the manner pre-
scribed for conveyance of real estate and
filed in the Office OF the county or town
within six months.
In case of error in the date or place sof
such marriage, the ceremony will not be
regarded as invalid IL the parties thereto
honestly believe that they were duly mar
ried.
The Weekes' bill does away with the
''common-law' marriage. which has been
recognized in this State since 1909, and
which has been productive of many compii-
cations as to property rights and led to
much blacknail. 1t has been indorsed gen.
orally by the clergy of all denominations as
well as by lawyers and by many associa-
tions of women.
II is understood that the Governor will
sign the bill. as he has expressed desire
to have some legislation that would bring
