interior department. which is
contained in the Washington
special to the Minneapolis Journal
and which we publish in another
column of this issue, THAT the
fomenters of trouble among the
Minnesota Chippewas on account
of the Morris act will get them
selves into trouble" is charac-
teristic of these officials whenever
any member of an Indian tribe
attempts to protect his interests
or the interests of his tribe from
the ravages Of political favorites
or of combinations with political
influence.
If calling attention to the
iniquities of an infamous act can
be termed a violation OF law for
which we can be punished, then
we have laid ourselves liable to
such punishment, for we, no
doubt, come within the category
of 'fomenters of trouble" !"
But if any trouble results on
account of the Morris Act the
officials OF the department will be
largely to blame on account OF
the stand they have taken in the
matter.
We have always maintained
that the Morris Act is the worst
proposition that the Chippewas
haye ever had to contend with.
The law itself would prevent the
Indians from getting Justice even
if the officials of the department
did not care to cater to political
influences.
The Indians were oppose to the
passage of the act while it was
pending before Confress, but were
not given an opportunity of being
heard. 1t is true that the COM
missioner of Indian affairs sent for
a delegation to come to Washing
ton but care was taken that no
one who could intelligently pre-
sent the objections OF the Indians
to the bill was allowed TO ac-
company the delegation which
went with the authority of the
department. Had the Indians
been allowed to select their own
delegates without restraint, it is
quite probable that an act more
satisfactory to the former would
have been passed in place of the
existing one.
Appropos to the word cutting
which appears in the act, we can
not reconcile ourselves to the
statement, as we stated in prior
issue of the Tomahawk, that the
act says one thing and means
another.
We would Judge from the special
referred to that even the depart.
ment has it's doubts relative to d
proper application of the WORD
cutting in connection with the
act, and in order to overcome these
doubts it proposes to insert 8
clause in the contracts with the
purchasers Of Chippewa timber
compelling them to assume all the
expenses of cutting. We will
not admit, however, that this is &
proper remedy, or that the secre.
tary of the interior and commits.
sioner of the general land office
can change the intent of the law
by manipulating the contracts il
the manner indicated.
The purchasers may sign these
contracts but, eventually, they
will undoubtedly call upon the
courts to pass upon their validity.

THE DEPARTMENTS
PET.

Capt, w. A. Mercer, OF dead
and down timber fame, and his
man, Friday. Daniel Sullivan) are
accused of fraud in connection
with the dead and down timber
operations of two years ago on the
Chippewa reservations in this
state, by G. G. Haupt, United
States district attorney for Min
nesota.
Capt. Mercer was the Indian
agent at Leech Lake during the
time the dead and down timber
operations were in full force, and
it was mainly through his In
strunentality that authority was
granted by the interior depart
ment to cut and sell the dead and
down timber of the reservations
referred to.
Immedietly after he had re-
ceived the authority to cut and
sell the dead and down timber,
Capt. Mercer gathered around
him some of his associates in his
Wisconsin operations, one of
II hem he made superintendent OF
logging, namely; Daniel Sullivan
who is mentioned by the Fergus
Falls correspondent Of the Twin
City papers as having been
implicated with Mercer to defraud
the Indians.
The charges against Mercer's
administration in regard to- his
connection with lumber specula-
tions on the reservations over
which he had charge are not new,
for he was transferred from the
LaPojnt Agency, Wis. on this
account. When we was appointed
to take charge of the Leech Lake
Agency, we protested against his
appointment on account OF his
{. It's. in connection with certain
timber deals. on the Fond du Lac
reservation, but Commissioner
Jones said I'VE will try him on
probation
During the month of April
1901, the Minneapolis Journal
sent Harry Knappen to visit the
several lumber camps where the
socalled dead and down timber
operations were being conducted,
and his report, which was pub
lished in full by the Journal,
showed that a large amount OF
green timber was cut not only on
this but also on the Leech Lake
and Mississippi reservations. The
department took the matter up
and the investigation which fol-
lowed was confined to this reserva-
ton although more green timber
was cut on the other reservations
than upon this. The result, of
course, was that the Indians lost a
great deal by the operations on
the other reservations.
Another remarkable feature
about the dead and down opera
tions of 1901, was that Mercer
was placed in charge of the
operations on this reservation re-
gardless of the fact that j. H.
Sutherland, one of the most
conscientious and honest men who
had ever been an Indian agent,
was then the agent of the White
Earth Agency.

intendent of logging, had com

YALEHARvARD TICKBrs.

New Haven, Oct 5.--An important change will be made this year in the method of allotment of the tickets for, the Yale-Harvard and Yale Prfnceto1 football games, which up to this time has been one of the most important duties of the football managers, requir- ing so much of their. attention that not enough time has been spent in the ac- tual management of the eleven. This year, however, the management will be entirely relieved of the burden. Under the direct supervision of cons mittee, representing graduates and under graduates, the Yale Alumni Weekly will take charge of the work. The committee consists of H. O. Mil Ter, 'O4, ex-officio; H. G. Day, '90S; Samuel H. Fisher, 'S9; O. D. Francis, manager of the 1901 eleven, '04 L. S; Anson P. Stokes. Jr, 'e6; Burnett Good win, '99S; E. T.

NOT AN UNFRdBNDLY ACT.

Paris, Oct 5.-The Russian govern ment has made it known that Japans mobilization of troops for transporta- tion to Corea does not, up to-day, con- stitute an unfriendIy act against Rus sia. At the same time the Russian officials are being kept fully advised as to the extent and nature of Japans S military and naval mobilization. It ap- pears from these official sources that Japan thus far has embarked three di- visions of troops and the Japanese fleet is now between Ohemulpo and Fusan. The ships continue under steam but nothing is known beyond this concerning their purposes. Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan, has returned to Tokio after an extended, conference at Port Arthur last week with Admiral Alexieff. who was recently designated to assume su- preme control of Russian interests in the far east. The results of this con- ference are not known.

DAY OF WILD EXCITEMENT.
Steamship Westernland's Fire
 man Terrified Passengers.

Rushed to the Deck With Clasp Knife
 and Demanded Rum-Man Then
 Jumped Overheard and Was Proba-
 bly, Drowned.
 New York, Oct 5.-The passage of the American, line steamship Western land, which has. reached this port from Liverpool, was marked, says a dis patch from Philadelphia, by one day of wild excitement. Among the fire men shipped for the voyage was John Greening. On September 25 he sud denly flung down his shovel, after com pla1nlng of the heat, and leaving the stoke hole, rushed upon the main deck. Here he drew a big clasp knife and began to run amuck among the terri lied steerage passengers, calling out that he wanted rum and would knife anyone who refused to let him have it..
 A petty officer, calling to a couple of sailors to help, started to catch the in furiated maniac, but Greening was as quick as a cat, the delirium seeming to lend him an extraordinary agility. Easily avoiding his pursuers he bound ed up to the after deck and. finging his knife back at the bewildered on- lockers, took a flying leap over the taffrai1 into the sea.
 Captain Morle ordered the engines reversed and spent some time in searching for the body without avail.

 Over a Crap Game.
 New York, Oct 5.-Fearing that an alleged murderer would escape, a policeman from the West Thirty seventh street station took possession of an electric car in Seventh avenue and after a chase of five blocks, dur ing which the car was run at top speed, he overlook the fugitive and ar ested him at the point of a revolver. After disarming the man the' police man was compelled to turn his re- volver upon an immense crowd of ex- cited men who wanted to lynch the prisoner
 The shooting was the result of dis pute between negroes over a crap game. The prisoner. William Butler, stated the trouble by taking posses sion of the disputed stake and making off into the street. The other players gave chase and shooting began. The streets were crowded with women and children. One of the pursuers finally overhauled Butler and grappled with him. It is alleged that Butler de- manded his release and upon the re- fusal of his captOr, Deab Evans, to let go, Butler fired twice, one of the bull was a panic in the neighborhood among the white persons who were witnesses of the killing a lively chase ensued Butler would have escaped, however, had not the trolley car been utilized.

THREEYEAR-oLD CHILD SHOT.
Stray Bullets Flying in the Brooklyn
 District.

The Brooklyn district was aroused this morning by the report that a child had been fired at on James street and a load of shot had been lodged in the child's face, cheek and hand. The re- port was partly true. It is a rather strange case. The 3-years-old child of MT and Mrs Starin Of 38 James streeet, Lithuanians, was playing in the yard this morning. Suddenly the child's mother heard loud and agonizing cries from the little one. She rushed out in the yard and found the child On the ground. He was cut about the face, head and hand and blood was flowing freely from the cuts. Dr Russell was summoned and the injuries were dressed. The child's condition was not serious. The parents of the child believed that some neighbor discharged a gun and the shot lodged in the boy. Whether the gun was discharged at the boy Or at some stray rat is not known. Other persons doubt that any body fired at the child, but that he re- ceived his injuries in some other man. her. Dr Russell did not care to make any comment upon the case.

 Killed.


 Killed.
 Montpelier, Vt, Oct 5.-FTom bull let wound said to have been inflicted by Alexander Garetto, a socialist lead CT at Barre, in a riot between anar- chists and socialists at that place Sat urday night, El1 Corti died here during last night. The death took place at a hospital to which Corti was brought shortly after the shooting. According to the police the wounded man identi- fed Garetto as his assailant, on the way from Barre to this city.
 The death of Oorti, who was an an archist, has aroused much excitement in Barre. and threats are heard of fur ther trouble. A special session of the grand jury will be called very soon to consider the case. In the mean time Garetto is held without bonds in the county jail here.
 Menotti Seriati, the editor of the so- cialiSt newspaper, whose attempt to address the meeting of socialists al Barre brought about the attack by the anarchists, is still under arrest on the charge of hReach of the peace. The police report to-day indicates that dur ing the riot in the street following the mutual assaults within the hall, two Italians, names unknown, were stab bed, though the wounds are not Gan- gerous. Emilio Voelieni, who it is al legged was also shot by Garetto, has merely a slight flesh wound in the arm and will recover.

TROLLEY CAR SLIPPED.
And Fifteen Persons Were Injured
 Near Middletown.

Near N1iddletown.
 Niddletown, Oct 5.-Ffteen persons , were injured to-day at South Farms by the slipping of a trolley car from the rails on a cu2ye at the" &oot of a hill. In passing down Silver street the motorman of the car found him. self unable to control 1t and the wet leaves on the rails made the brakes useless. At the foot of the hill the line curves into Main street. The speed of the car was such that the wheels left the rails and the car came a sudden stop on the opposite side of the street. All of the forty passen- gers in the car were thrown violently forward and badly shaken up and bru ised, while some were more seri- ously injured. The most seriously in jured were John McDonough, who had a collar bone broken; John Mcdonald head cut and arm sprained; Fred Hamilton, deep scalp wound and thumb broken. All men were em- ployes of the New England Enalneline Co and were on their way to Portland to vote. They were attended by phy- sicians after which they were removed to their homes. Hamilton received his tnuriies fby being thrown from the car and landing on l1is head on the rails
