SHE IS RoosEVEITs APPoINTEE
A Woman Chosen to Superintend the
Indian Schools in the West.
Chicago ChrOnicle.)

ACHlcdSO C1TOnlCIe.)
The honorable distinction of being
the first woman appointed to an Office
by President Roosevelt belongs to Miss
Estelle Reel Of Wyoming, who mas
been named as superintendent of In
dian schools. Miss Reel is now the ma
tiOnal superintendent of Indian schools
for the United States. and travels con
Stantly over the length and breadth of
the land, visiting schools and organic
ing and establishing innovations in the
line of manual training on the various
reservations. Miss Reel is young and
enthusiastic and has force enough for
several women, but no more than she
needs in her work of inspiring the red
man 10 better living and a greater de-
gree of industry. She Travelled .. 900
miles last year-more than half the dis
tance by stage coach.
My work is simply the extension of
the work already done in the govern
ment schools and shops" she said in
Sre2Fing of her experience among the
Indians 1t requires the utmost per-
suasive power and plenty Of devising
and original thinking to do the vorI5
laid out for me. The fact that I have
accomplished something in the west is
apparent in comparing the life Of In
dams who live within a nights ride of
Chicago with that Of some who live in
oregon The former are in as barbar-
Gus condition as they were when
America was discovered. Much of nv
work is far from being technical edu-
cation The girls must be taught the
rudiments Of homemaking and tho
boys the trades. so that they can take
their places in civilization. When 7

around TO show to some other school

ment IN favor Of her sex occupying the

ENEMIES OF IRRIGATION.
1nterpose Technical Objection to
Measure.
Especial to The Herald.)


Washington, Feb. 5.-tThe house COM
mittee on irrigation held its first meet
ing today and discussed informally the
general irrigation bill framed by the
caucus Of western members. Repre-
sentative Ray of New York, one Of
the most bitter opponents of irrigation
in the house, and, its is said, instigated
by Speaker Henderson to oppose irri-
cation measures. commended that the
bill under discussion is unconstitu-
tlonal. He held that the general gov
eminent cannot appropriate money to
improve the public domain for the pur-
pose of selling it.
While no vote was taken on this
proposition, it was evident Ray was
alone IN his contention.
The committee will meet again Sat
urday next, when Chairman Lacey of
the public lands committee will be
given hearing on his bill appropriat-
ing 100000 for experimental irriga-
ton work in the west.

ROYALTY WILL NOT CAUSE
EXTRA APPROPRIATIONS

Washington. Feb. 3.-In response to
Inquiries the state department today
notified the senate committee on ap-
preparations that the department
would be able to make provision for
the expenses of the representatives of
this country in England, incident to
the coronation of King Edward VII,
from its resources, and that, therefore.
no special appropriation would be nee
essary for that purpose.
The committee. therefore, did not
make provision in the urgency def
cheney bill as reported to the senate to-
day for this item of expense. as it had
agreed on Saturday last to do.
The committee also directed that the
provision in the bill as it comes
from the house for an appropriation
of $4,000. to be used by the president
in meeting these emergencies, would be
sufficient to cover the expense of the
government in connection with the ap-
preaching visit of Prince Henry, and
no specific appropriation was made on
that account.

A FAKE SALE.
Sensational Idea of Salvation Army
Captain Fell Through.
NEW YORK IribDn


The So-called sale of children by the
Salvation Army people of Youngstown,
O., turns out to have been simply q
clever ruse for sensational advertising.
Such a storm of protest arose from all
over the country that Captain McDiar-
mid was forced TO explain, and so
spoiled the plan Of the sale.
The captain has all along said that
the sale would be a bona fide one, and
as a result protests came in from many
cities, societies, anarchists and Of
fcials. calling upon local men in Official
capacity TO prevent the sale. So hot
was it being made for the captain, who
is on the sensational order, more or
less, that the mayor and the captain
were compelled to tell the true state Of
affairs.
The sale was merely in the nature Of
an object lesson to the audience at
tending. and consisted in bids being
offered for the children by ten speak
ers, all of whom submitted offers along
different lines One promised wealth,
another pleasure, and so on until Chris
tianity was reached and the child re-
claimed. There was no transfer of
children nor adoption papers issued,
nor any violation of the law. The chill
dren were those Of poor families, and
were accompanied by their parents and
remained in their charge. II was
simply a scheme on the part of the cap
tain of the Salvation Army to arouse
interest in his work here.
Among the complaints received last
week was letter from J. P. Byers, sec
rotary of the board of church charities
of Jersey City. To his communication
the mayor replied that no violation Of
the law was intended. The local Grand
Army post avowed that trouble would
certainly ensue should the sale of chill
dren be permitted, and the manager of
the theatre where the meeting was
held was compelled to come out with
d card that no violation of the law was
intended.
The Salvation Army captain has
caused some talk here by a recent in
vitation he extended to James J. Cor
bett to be head waiter at a Christmas
dinner given by the Salvation Army.
Leading Christians objected to Cor
belts presence and refused to aid fur
Their in the affair. The captain said
that Corbett was present just the same,
and the children were greatly amused.

WANT RICH 70 PAY TAXES.
Members Make Minority Report APP
proving Reductions.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Both majority
and minority reports were filed or The
war revenue bill today. The majority
report says the probability of early
withdrawal OF troops from Cuba and
the reduction of the force in the Philip
pines will make further reductions pos
sible, and also reviews the conCitiOn
of the treasury. In conclusion, the ma
Jority report says:
1T cannot be denied that a large sur
plus furnishes temptation for extrava-
CANT expenditure While congress may
generally be relied upon to keep the
national expenses within reasonable
bounds. it should be relieved from the
pressure which comes with plausible
schemes from every quarter to raid an
oveThOwing treasury"
The minority report approves the
proposed reductions, but asserts they
should have been made long ago. 1t
also advocates a general revision of
tariff taxation, with the retention of
taxes on accumulated wealth. There Is
a general denunciatiOn of the Dingley
law as the mother of trusts, and the
report says it enables the manufacturer
10 charge far greater prices to home
consumers than are received abroad for
the same goods, which is characterized
as plain robbery"
The minority report adds: while ap-
proving in general the policy of repeal
ing the war taxes. we insist that the
certain taxes on accumulated wealth
should be allowed to remain. We re-
fer to such taxes as are imposed on
sugar and petroleum refiners. The tax
of One-half of 1 per cent on the gross
receipts of sugar and petroleum re-
liners in excess of S25e. 600 yields about
81 600 900 annually
This tax has been paid without de-
murrer or protest and there Is no reason
why the great combinations which mo-
nopOlize these bT 5inesses. and from
which colossal in6lviduai fortunes have
been built up. should not pay some
part of the national expenses, as well
as the masses of the people who use
and consume the various things which
are the subjects of customs and inter-
nal revenue taxation.
AS the supreme court has denied to
congress the right to tax incomes for
the support of the government, IL is
well TO place accumulated wealth under
some form of contribution. and we
know of none more just or equitable
than Ia tax such as that imposed by
the war revenue act on oil and sugar
refnerS"
