out some interesting points on the re-
lations established by the laws ana
treaties of the United States regarding
the Indians.
Altho w. G. Malin, the Indian
agent and G.. w. Nellis. superintendent
of the Industrial school at Toledo are
named as the defendants, the govern
lment Of the United States stands back
brought by Le-Lah Puc- Ka Chez
against the United States.
The plaintiff who has died since the
suit was commenced, was member OF
the Indian tribe residing in lama
county and the defendant, Malin, is the
Indian agent in charge of the tribe.
while the defendant, Nellis, is the su-
perintendent of the industrial school,
erected and maintained by the United
States for the education of the Indians.
1t is alleged in the petition that the
defendants, claiming the right to do
so. by reason of the official positions
held by them, by force took the plain
tiff to the Indian school and detained
her there contrary to her will and
wishes, she being Il married woman.
The suit is brought to recover damages
for such wrongful acts on their part
and the amount asked is $4,000.
The defendants filed a demurrer to
the petition on the ground that the PEE
tition did not state case that was
within the jurisdiction of the court.
The demurrer was overluled by Judge
Shiras who said that in his Judgment
the case was one arising under the
treaties and laws of the United States.
not differing in principle from the case
of Peters VS.. Malin. In which the court
considered the question at some length.
In that case a verdict was rendered
against the defendants The same WAS
true in a similar case in which Former
Indian Agent Rebok was made the de-
PENDANT. These cases We're appealed to
the United States Circuit court of APP
peals with the view of making them
test cases, but after the proceedings
had been commenced Attorney General
Griggs decided not to press the matter
further and the amount of the verdicts
was paid from an appropriation by
congress.

Chicago Soft Coal Jobbers In
Bad Situation Owing tostag-
nation of Market
STRIKE is THE ONLY SALVATION
The Price of Coal Has Been Advanced
Seventy Five Cents, and it Was
Thru This That the Situation Be-
came Known-Mr. Derns Says There
Is Little Danger Of Strike.

| Chicago, March 20.-With an advance
1T became known that desperate efforts
| are being made by soft coal jobbers in
| Chicago to save themselves from bank
ruptcy. Coal they bought last jan
uary for 81 and So ton, is selling at
SO and $50, and there is little demand
for it, even at that price.
The only thing that will stimulate
the market is a strike so let us have a
strike in the soft coal fields" is the
conclusion at which they arrived at
"a meeting in the Auditorium hotel.
The announcement that the soft-coal
miners in the West Virginia and AL
toona districts are on the verge of a
strike followed. AT the same time it
coal would be raised IS cents ton
in carload lots.
Charles L. Dering, Western agent
for the Delaware and Lackawanna Fuel
company. was asked about the proba-
bility of a strike in the soft-coal dis.
tricts. Mr.. Dering deals in soft coal.
and is in close touch with the fields
supposed to be affected.
do you want it straight" he asked.
Then after a moments silence, he said:
Il don't believe there is any serious
danger
Mr.. behring's frank statement bother
ed the other jobberS at the outset. I'm
less something happens to create a de-
mand for soft coal. they will continue to
lose the money they made last winter.
We might pray for a weeks snow
storm; that would be legitimate, and
it certainly would stimulate the mar
ket," said Mr.. Dering. But it is not
likely the prayers would be efficacious.
/ do not see that anything can be gain
ed, however, by attempting to bluff the
people"
G. A. Beckett, secretary and treasurer
of the Weaver Coal Company, gave
another version of the strike question.
II understand the operators in the
soft coal fields have granted all the de-
mands of the miners except an eight
hour day he said. IF the eight-hour
course, if strike comes, prices will go
soaring
Still another version was given by
w. III. Henchey, secretary of the West
ern Pennsylvania Fuel Company, who
is in Chicago, staying at the Union
League Club. He said:
More than twenty big Chicago soft
coal jobbers are on the verge Of bank
ruptcy owing to the stagnation of the
market. They are getting desperate.
Their one salvation lies in a strike in
the Altoona and West Virginia soft coal
fields, which, if it comes would stimu
late the market, and force consumers
to begin putting in their supply OF coal.
"Of course, / do not know that a
strike is likely, but it is to the advant
age of the jobbers to have as much
talk about 1t as possible. When the
coal was sky high during the winter
the Chicago retailers were trying to
get coal at any price. AS a result east
tern coal was bought at $3.50 and 81 in
the mines, to which was added 81
ton freight rates to Chicago. Today this
coal is selling as low as SO, which means
loss of about 50 a ton to the dealer.
Every day coal is arriving in the city
that was bought last January.
