EDUCATION HELPS INDIANS
superintendent of Haskell Indian

port to the Department.

WASHINGTON, Nov. zs-superintendent
Peairs OF Haskell Indian Institute in Kan
sas in his annual report says that al
though at times the results of the work Of
education among the Indians do not satisfy
the onlookers, to those who are In the work,
and therefore have opportunities to observe
the gradual development Of the individuals.
there is more and more Of encouragement
and satisfaction.
AS proof of the permanent good results Of
learning to the Indians the report says that
OF ninety-hve graduates previous to the
classes Of 1902 at least seyenty-seven are at
work earning their own living and in many
instances aiding needy parents OF support
ing in a respectable way little family Of
their own.
OF the forty one graduates Of the classes
OF 1902 it is stated that th,'re is moi. one but
is qualified to make record equal to the
earlier graduates. -
The undergraduates st.zfsre- making ex-
cellent records. The facts however, that the
percentage of successes among undergradu-
ates is not as large as among graduates is
cited as a strong argument in favor of the
continuation Of thorough educational work.
There is constantly increasing demand
from among the Indian population Of the
country for enrolment at this and other

BAD DAY FOR WALL STREET
Selling Movement wipes out the Mar
gins of Long HOIders-west Lets
Loose of It's stock.

NEW YORK, Nov. l2.-Today's stock
market opened with another selling move
ment, during which prices were lowered
materially. More weak accounts were
thrown overheard at the opening today and
calls by brokers to their customers for
extra margins were numerous.
1t was regarded as significant that much
of the early selling came from houses with
western connections, which suggested that
the speculative contingent in that section
had let go of long stock.
Amalgamated Copper sold of over IL
but soon made a partial rally. Tennessee
Coal declined about 3 points in the early
dealings and Erie common, against which
considerable pressure was directed sold
off 1%. The heavy liquidation in Southern
Pacific brought a maximum decline of al
most 2 points. Texas & Pacific and Man
haitian were each a point lower and recess
sions Of less extent were common. The
steel stocks sold OF sharply, the common
declining over 1 and the preferred almost
as much.
Louisville & Nashville and Missouri Pa
clhc were the strongest issues in the entire
list, making only small fractional declines.
Extensive covering by the shorts. together
with buying here and there by strong inter
ests, helped to rally the market before the
end Of the FIRST half hour. All through the
early session the market was so active
that at times the ticker was fully ten
minutes behind actual operations.

Anti-Trust Laws and Three
ship Canals.

LANSING, Mich, Nov 1.-THE annual
meeting of the National Grange began here
today with delegates from twenty-six states.

dress expressed the opinion that the cost
of production could be reduced from 10 to
25 per cent and the aggregate production
of farms increased from so to 100 per cent
by the adoption of the best methods.

ditions were largely due to excessive
charges and determinations in transporta-
tion, exorbitant storage charges. large COM
mission charges, unequal taxation, local
and national dealing in options on boards
of trade, trusts, authorizations OF food prod
ucts and official oppression.
The following national legislation was
recommended: General rural delivery, pos
tai savings banks, election of United States
senator's by the people, a constitutional
amendment giving congress power to regu-
late and control trusts. enlargement of the
powers Of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, pure food laws, provision for the ex-
tension of markets for products equally
with manufactured articles, enactment OF
an antitrust law clearly defining what acts
on the part of any corporation would be
detrimental to public welfare, speedy con-
struction OF the Nicaragua canal by the
United States, speedy construction of ship
canals connecting tho Mississippie with the
great lakes and the latter with the At
