SAYS THEY ARE LAZY
indian Agent Severely Arraigns
Educated Young Red Men.
Declares the Governments Efforts to Anne
liorate Their Intellectual Condition Is
80 Per Cent Waste-An Have
Mania for Gambling.

Washington, Nov. IA severe ar
raignment of the Indians on the Pom
ca, Otoe and Oakland reservation in
Oklahoma is made by Agent Erwin,
in charge of the reservation, in his
annual report to the commissioner of
Indian affairs. The report says:
Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduated from non
reservation schools, as well as those
who have attended for a number of
years, do any work at all. 1t can be
set down as perfectly safe rule that
as class the young educated In
dams are the most worthless ones in
the whole tribe. Nearly all of the
work done by the tribe is performed
by the middle-aged, able-bodied ones,
who cannot write or speak English.
The educated Indian coming from
the schools usually gives the excuse
that he has nothing with which to
work, neither money, implements nor
stock of any kind. This is true, but
I notice that they manage to live on
their annuities and lease money and
buy horses, buggies, ETC., on credit
and borrow money from the banks
with but little prospect of ever being
able to pay their debts. Any able
bodied man or woman is able to OBJ
tain work at fair wages. Many of the
people are addicted to drink and both
men and women are inveterate gam
blers. They have practically nothing
to do. Their days are spent in almost
utter idleness and vice and debauch-
cry are rampant. The degradation
of these people will continue and in
crease until they are made to work
and live by the result of their Ia
bors.''

the Buddhist Religion.

New York, Nov. 3.-Eleven children
whose average age is ten years, ar
rived to-day from Santiago, Cuba, en-
route to Point Iona, CAL, to join the
Universal Brotherhood. The immi-
grafton officials of this port have
been asked to hold these children as
possible Objectionable aliens, for spe-

charge of DR.. Gertrude Van Pelt, who
intended to accompany them to Point
Iona, where Mrs. Katharine A. Ting
ley, high priestess of the Universal
Brotherhood, and known as the ''pur-
pie MOTHER is said to have estab-
lished a temple for teaching chill
dren the Buddhist religion. The little
immigrants were all thinly clad and
felt the cold northern air keenly.
Their case has come under the es-
pecia1 attention of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
which will ascertain for what pur-
pose the children were brought to

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 3.-The recep-
ton which President Roosevelt will
receive in Memphis wher he comes
here on November 20 in order to be
present at the festivities in honor
of the return of Gen. Luke w. Wright
from the Philippines promises to be
of a doubtful quality.

to refrain from attending a banquet
with a man who has dined with Book

number of prominent citizens have
announced that they will not go.
The reception committee is at loss
to know how to proceed. The an
nouncement that the president will
visit Washington at Tuskegee, Ala,
before coming here has made mat
ers worse, and the conditions are
critical. Local negroes are outlining
a programme for the entertainment
of the president while he is here.

ident was invited before the citizens
were consulted in regard to the mat
ter.

New York, Nov. 3.-TwO hundred
and fifty boys, inmates of the New

The plot was devised several weeks
ago. Fifty of the boys succeeded in
escaping, but IS of them were re-
captured after two hours. Those at
large range in age from ten to 16
years.
Nothing will be done to punish the
boys" said the superintendent the
asylum last night. ''They were most
ly destitute, committed for their own
welfare. If they were vicious they
would have been sent to the reforma-
tory. I suppose they wanted to take
advantage of the fine weather and

Washington, Nov. Solomon Ho-
tena, preacher, lawyer, judge,
wealthy, a full-blooded Choctaw In
dian, and the slayer of two women
and one man, whom he believed to
be witches, had his sentence of death
committed to life imprisonment by
President Roosevelt. Hotena lost sew
eral children by death in quick sue
cession two years ago. He conceived
the idea that certain persons among
his people were witches and had cast
a spell over his family. He went to
the house of Vinita Coleman, a dis
tant relative, and shot her dead. At
the same time he wounded a small
child and seriously injured 15-year-
old boy. Then he rode to the hut
of a man whom he believed to be a
witch and killed him. He went on
until he found another woman, the
third person with the evil influence,
whom he shot dead. In justification
Of his offense, Hotena pleaded the
example of the Puritan fathers in
burning witches at the stake, but he
was sentenced to be hanged.

C. o. D. LIQUOR coNTRABAND.
An Important Decision Made by the Iowa
Supreme Court in Regard to Original
Packages by Express.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
C. o. D. liquor sales by express COM
panies. In both instances the express
companies had liquors which they
were transferring to purchasers in
exchange for G. o. d. payments. Seiz-
ures were made and the cases tried
in the district court, where the ex-
press company won. Both cases were
appealed and both are now reversed.
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from handling
liquor G. o. D. and makes such goods
contra band and liable to seizure if
found in the possession of the COM
panies. The court holds that the priv
ilege of original packages or of the
freedom of interstate commerce does
not apply to business of this char
acter.

The Causes of Insanity.

The superintendent of the state
insane asylums at Topeka and Osa-
watomie have compiled statement
showing the causes of insanity in
patients admitted to those institu-
tions during the past two years. 1t
shows that the most of the patients
went insane on account of sickness
or heredity. However, several went
crazy from other causes. For in
stance, SO patients, one of whom is a
woman, went insane on account OF
the excessive use of alcohol-in pro-
hibition Kansas at that. Four young
men were driven to the madhouse by
cigarettes. Mourning over departed
loved ones caused ten women and
one man to go insane. Disappoint-
ment in love sent three men and
four women to the asylums. Thirteen
patients, three of whom are women,
lost their minds on account of f.
nancial troubles. Morphine stole the
reason from six men and five women.
Isolation or lonesomeness caused ten
men and two women to go insane.
These were cases from western
Kansas. Religion drove IS men and
Is women crazy. Only one patient
lost his mind over politics. Fright
caused one woman to lose her mind
and worry drove seven men and four
women to the asylums.
