NOT HAPPY
One of Two Murderers Ad-
mits This Frankly on
the Ga1lows. ...

Portland, Ore, Jan. 31.-Joseph Wade
and B. II. Dalton were hanged in the Jail
yard this morning for the murder of
James B. Morrow. Both men retained
their nerve and just before the rope was
put around Wade's neck he said: ''You
may think I am happy, but I'm not.''
The murder was committed for rs cents.
Morrow had been calling on a young lady
friend and was on his way home about
midnight on Nov A. when Wade and
Dalton stepped in front of him and ordered
him to throw up his hands. = Morrow
made movement toward putting his
hands in his pockets, when Wade fired
the fatal shot The murderers were ar
rested three days later in lodging house
chiefly through information furnished by
the woman who kept the house. When
arrested each man accused the other OF
being the murderer, but after few weeks
Wade confessed that he himself fired the
shot.
Wade was born near Pittsburg, Pa. and
Dalton at Atlanta, Ga. Wade and his
victim were both under 81 years of age
while Dalton was %. Wednesday night
Wade, who had treated his approaching
execution with levity, embraced religion
and, according to a missionary who has
visited the prisoners, his conversion was
due partly to the prayers of his fellow
murderer, Dalton. The latter had re-
ceived spiritual advice for several weeks.

washington, Jan. 31.-At the home OF
Mrs. G. K. Davis the Sioux and Pawnee
Indian tribes, through their representa-
tives In Washington. met by chance the
other evening and buried felld Of many
years standing. Senator Davis was a
friend Of these Indians for years and it
was the desire of the tribal representa-
tives on reaching Washington to pay their
respects to his widow The white men in
the party arranged for an evening when
Mrs. Davis would be home. One of these
men knew that the other delegation would
probably be present at the same time. but
paid no attention to the possible embar-
rassment. The man In charge of the
other delegation supposed that he would
have a monopoly of the attention of the
hostess and has since stated that If he
had known the enemies Of his people were
to make an appearance at the same time
he would not have brought about the
melting. However, as it turned out, there

the Indians drank together and ceremoni-
ously ended the feud of so many years
standing and which has resulted in heavy
mortality in both tribes. +
The delegations met in Mrs. Davis
drawingroom and for few moments the
atmosphere was frigid. The Indians drew
themselves up and looked askanoe at each
other. Finally one of the Sioux stepped
forward and made his speech TO his old
enemies, the Pawnees. He said that he
was willing and wanted to be friend
and forget the long standing feud which
had kept them apart for so many years.
and in proof Of his Friendship he ofered
to shake hands with the leader of the
PaWnee delegation. The Pawnees were
equal to the occasion, and their leader
replied in a similar strain and struck
hands with his old opponent, and in a
few moments the two delegations were
mingled and the Indians were exchanging
sentiments of friendship and satisfaction
at this unexpected turn of affairs.
Those who witnessed the meeting, Mrs
Davis and small party of friends, were
intensely interested in the dramatic sit
uation before them, and they are not
through talking about it yet. The white
people present took no part in the cere-
monies and We're simply Interested specta-
tors.

Novelist Takes a Hand in
Standing Rock Leases.
APPEAL FOR INDIANS

PLEDGE GIVEN BY ROOSEVELT
President Apparently Thinks the In.

the Right Thing.

New York Sun Special Service
Washington, Jan. 31.-The differences
between the Indian Office and the Sioux
Indians of the Standing Rock reservation
in North and South Dakota over the pro-
posed leases for grazing purposes were
brought to the presidents attention by
Louis Primeau, the delegate chosen by
the head men OF the tribe to represent
them In Washington. Prineau handed the
Hamlin Garland, the aut hor, in behalf of
the Indians. Garland and Primeau are
old friends and have been together on
many long hunting trips.
AS the president was for number of
years engaged in cattle raising less than
100 miles from the Standing Rock lands,
he seemed to feel as if he had met an old
ne1ghDor. He showed great familiarity
with the character of the region and the
situation of the Indians themselves.
MT. Pr1meau informed the president
that the Indians were opposed to having
the lands leased to the cattle men, but
rather than have the permit system in
augurated by the Indian Office, they had
consented to the leasing of their unoc-
oupied lands with the understanding that
committee of Indians should go with the
Indian agent or some one from the INDIAN
office and agree on the boundary lines of
the tribe. To their surprise the Indisn
Office haG begun to lease the best of their
lands without allowing the Indians to say
where the lines should be placed.
The president said he had not failed to
observe the movement with regard to the
use OF the Indian lands by cattle men, 1t
seemed to him, he added, that the leases
should not be drawn without regard to
the division of the land In .severalty, and
ne said he would take care to see nothing
was done to the prejudice of this most i'm
portant step forward in the condition of
the Indians

HI. M. CARPENTERS IDEA
He FavOrs q Legal Limit to Rate OF
Taxation.

e
In a letter to T b e Journal H. N.
Carpenter gives his ideas on the new tag
bill as follows:
Allow me to congratulate b ] ourn q I
on the course it has taken in regard to the
new tax law. 1t will no doubt meet with
good results. My idea would be to have tho
legislature pass law, fixing our taxes at IL
mills, reserying mill for q sinking fund "a
be drawn. against five years from date. Such
a law would be the means Of encouraging
foreign capital to seek investments in this
locality. There is quite an amount OF money
made here in different enterprises that seeks
investments elsewhere and if this matter can
be accomplished on q Is mill basis in five
years from date, there will be quite an
amount Of taxable property added to our list.
Every citizen, in Minneapolis ought to be in-
terested in the percentage on all taxable prop-
erty. The best method of accomplishing that
end will have to be determined in the futures

MAI. WALLER ACQUITTED.
Commander OF Marine Corps In samax
Had Ordered Natives Killed with
out Trial.

Manila, April 14.-Maj. Lyttleton W.
T. Waller, of the marine corps, has
been acquitted. He was tried by a
court-martial on the charge of killing
natives of the island of Samar with
out trial. The court stood IL to two
for Walters acquittal.
The judge advocate, Maj. Henry P.
Kingsbury, contended that Maj. Wal
Ter was under military and not mar
tial law, and that there was nothing
in the conduct of the men who were
shot deserving of such punishment.
The judge advocate blamed Maj. Wal
Ter himself for the disasters which be-
fell the marines, and accused him Of
abandoning ten helpless comrades
''whose bones were now bleaching on
the banks of the Lanang" to die Of
hunger. The judge advocates denun-
citation of the methods by which the
prisoners, who were to be shot, were
chosen was dramatic. "They were
lined up" he said, 'for the rattle Of
death, at the sole will and pleasure
of Private Davis, marine, who was
Judge and prosecutor" He referred
to Davis testimony in terms of with
ering scorn, accused Maj. Waller Of
listening to the dictates Of ambition
and not to the dictates of duty, as
serted that the natives, according to
the evidence, acted in many instances
in highly commendable manner, and
declared that their faithfulness and
not their treachery had been dis
closed before the court.
