SCOTT PICKS FLAW
Morris Law Does Not Pay the In
dams for the 5 Per Cent
Pine Reserved.
Recommendations Made by Major
Scott in His Annual Report
to Washington.

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Major George
L. Scott, agent at Leech lake, makes
several important recommendation
in his annual report. which has just been
received by Commissioner Jones. In dis
cussing the provisions Of the Morris act,
he suggests that there has b. cen an omis-
sion in the laws, q failure to provide for
payment to the, Indians of the value Of
the: per cent Of standing timber left in
the forest reserve. Major Scott says:
The terms of the bill provide for set
ting aside ten sections of pine timber
land, which will not be cut; also for re-
serving per cent of all the pine -on the
remainder of the forest reserve for the
purpose Of re-forestation. The wisdom Of
this act Of the general government is
readily conceded by ALL but no provision
dams for the pine thus withheld from sale
and appropriated by the general govern
ment for it's forest reserve.
The law provides that the Indians
shall be paid for pine upon their ceded
lands when disposed of and they are
clearly entitled to be reimbursed for the
timber thus withheld. The amount and
value Of the timber can be readily deter
mined when the IS per cent of the pine is
cut ana solo, Inc ten sect1OnS not cut
over should be carefully estimated and
payment made based upon the estimate
and price Of timber on adjacent lands
II would also recommend that the pine
on Indian allotments on ceded lands, the
cutting of which is not provided for by
the Norris act, be cut when the pine is
taken from the territory in which they are
situated"
! Major Scott again calls attention tt
the prevalence of drunkenness on the
reservation. He says the traffic has beer
checked materially in certain localities
but "a great deal is still sold to the In.
dams and will be sold until all United
States officials, whose duty it is to. enforc.
the laws, take enough interest to re-
port and prosecute all cases known t
them and until the community at larg,

Oyster Bay l. T., Sept "A man CIV
ing his name as Henry Weilbrenner, was
arrested at Sycamore Hill late last night
while making persistent demand to see
President Roosevelt The man was armed
with revolver. fully loaded. He was
taken to the village and placed in the town
prison.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night Well
brenner drove to Sycamore Hill In
buggy. He was stopped by the secret
service operative on duty. Weilbrenner
said he had a personal enga cement with
the president and desired to see him. AS
Is was long after the hours when visitors
are received the officer declined to permit
him to go to the house. The man insisted
but the officer turned him away.
Soon after Weilbrenner returned
and again insisted that he be allowed to
see the president. If only for minute.
This time he wa sordered away and
warned not to return.
Came Back Third Time.
Just before II o'clock the man returned
q third time and demanded of the officer
that he be permitted to see the president
at once.
The officers response was to take him
from his buggy and put him in the stables
where he was placed under the guard Of
two sta blemen. A revolver was found In
the buggy. Later Weilbrenner was
brought to the village and locked UP.
He is five feet eight inches tall, twenty
eight years old, has mustache and black
eyes, and evidently Is of German descent.
He resides in Syosset. about five miles in
land from Oyster Bay. He was well
dressed In a suit Of dark material and
wore an old fashioned derby hat.
He Had confederates.
It Is thought by the officers that evil
brenner was accompanied by two other
men, as their footprints were found in
the mud alongside Of the buggy tracks
In view Of this fact the officer on duty tel
ephoned to the village for assistance, anG
was soon joined by two other secret SER
vice men.
While eWilbrenner talked nationally to
the officers last night, 1t seems evident
from his conversation to-day that he is
demsnted. He said that he had received
q telegraphic communication from the
president directing him to call at Saga
more HILL Weilbrenner's buggy was
taken to a local livery barn. When asked
what had become Of the rig, Weilbrenner
replied;

Much Attention

In spite Of rainy weather the attendance
at the state fair to-day promised to DO
fairly large. At noon the turnstile record
at the Minneapolis gate showed 1858, and
that at the st. Paul gate $40, total of
1926. 1t was estimated that the total for
the day would go over 10000
Last years Wednesdays attendance was
47.219. This was a record breaker, but
it would probably have been surpassed to-
day had the weather been favorable. \
few years ago 10000 would have been big
attendance, but this year, it promises to
be the smallest of the week.
Yesterdays total attendance. 41.515, was
2,SS5 over last years Minneapolis day,
which was Friday. It is 4,787 more than
the attendance on Tuesday Of last year,
which was st. Paul day. But for the slight
rain last niAnt, yesterdays total would
undoubtedly have been even larger.
AS the total for the first two days of the
week was about $4,000 more than last
year, it Is still almost certain that last
years total for the week will be surpassed.
The rain to-day may bring the attendance
for the first three days slightly under last
year, but this, weather favoring, will be
easily made up in the last half Of the
| week.

"oh. The president has taken care Of It.
That's all right" v.-.. ..r.s
Weilbrenner is thought by those who
have seen him to be dangerous lunat1c.
At Syosset 1t Is learned that the man Is
the son Of truck farmer and Is one OF
three brothers. He has two sisters. The
family Is respectable and Is held In general
esteem.
Weilbrenner several years ago had
nervous attack which rendered him men
tally helpless for a day or two but his
family supposed that he had been quite
restored by the medical treatment he re-
ceved at that time. Since then he has
manifested no symptoms Of mental alb
beration. He had no socialist1c or an
archistic tendencies 80 far as known,
never having been interested in any ques-
lions of that kind. He was employed
daily on his fathers farm.
The Man Is Crazy.
Weilbrenner was arraigned to-day be-
fore Justice Franklin on a complaint OF
the secret service operatives, who placed
him under arrest. Weilbrenner's brother
William was present at the examination.
Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner
| about his movements last night. His re-
plies were made in quiet tone Of voice
but they indicated, apparently beyond a.
doubt, that the man is crazy. Asked why
he went to Sycamore Fill, he replied:
daughter, Alice - ..-
Had you an engagement with the pres
| ident?"
| Yes"
How was that engagement made?'
II talked with the president last night"
replied Weilbrenner.
| How did you talk with hin?"
| ooh, just talked"
"A sort Of wireless talk, was it?'
Eyes, that is it, wireless talk
'Why did you want to see the presi-
dent about Miss Alice?"
Wanted to Marry Alice.
II wanted to marry her."
| Did you ever see Miss Rooseve1t?"
Eyes, I saw her night before last"
Where did you see her?' "
| AT my house,
Did she go over there?' ...
Yes, she came in red automobile
'eWho accompanied herr"
i Her brother, Theodore" -'~- H.. .'
| Justice Franklin after the examina-
ton, concluded he would hold Weilbrenne1
j until an inquiry Of lunacy could be held
| upon his case. The examination then was
! postponed until 5 o'clock this afternoon

NO WIND FOR RACES
The Third Race in the America s
Cup Series Is Again
Postponed.

New York Sept. 2.-To-day's attempt to
sail the third race Of the Americas cup
series was but repetition Of yesterday
and the suspense is prolonged still an
other day.
Under far less favorable conditions than
prevailed yesterday morning, the yachts
to-day went out to the starting line under
tow. There was no wind and a heavy fog.
The. yachts hung about the lightship.
They did not drop their tows, and their
sails hung limp from the rigging. Both
boats waited until 1890, when the race
was declared off.
The yachts were then towed back to the
Hook the few excursionists returned to
the city. There will be a race tomorrow.
Sir Thomas Upton to-day emphatfcally
denied that If there was any chance for
Shamrock Ill, he would depose Captain
Wringe and put the yacht under control
Of Mate Bevis, and that Shamrock was
found too long after her speedy trials and
| in bringing her up to the proper measure
ment she had been stripped so much as
to lose her speed. Sir Thomas declared
that he had perfect faith in his designer
and his captain and crew.

Counsel General Skinner TO Seek Trade
.,n,!n for This Country.

Canton. Ohio. Sept. 24-Robert P. Skin
ner, consul general of this country al
Marseillcs, to whom has been intrusted
the work of negotiating a commercial
treaty with King Menelik of Abyssnia,
will leave here on Sunday or Monday for
Washington to receive his instructions
from the State Department prior to start
ing on his mission. He is at present en-
ioying short Through at his old home
in Massilon. Ohio. He will sail for
France on October s, with his private, sec
retaly Horatio w. Wales, who will ac-
company him on his trip. At his home. in
Massllon, today Mr.. skinner gave out
the following statement on his mission:
Sending a mission to Abyssinia is one of
the State Department is efforts to create
and extend trade Our goods have filtered
into Abyssinia for many years. almost
without the knowledge of our own people.
The empire has a population of ten mill
lions, a stable government and n recently
completed railway, connecting it with the
outer world. As our manufa cturers are
not in the habit of dealing directly with
foreign customers, we have very real
interest in ascertaining accurate,y- the
conditions under which business is being
transacted in that region, with a view to
retaining our hold and increasing our
commerce.
We now supply Abyssinia with cotton
sheetng. petroleum and other staples. and
are buying hides. carpets, wool, ivory and
civet. Our relations are important and
reciprocal, but not direct. Hitherto the
trade route has been by sea from Alden to
leila and thence by caravan to Herrar.
Within few months a railroad has been
finished from Djibouti new French
town on the Red Sea, to Herrar, the com
mercial capital of Abyssina.
There is also a special object for going
to Abyssinia at this time, in the desire of
Governor Francis, president of the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition. to bring about
a participation of Abyssinia in the expo
sition. Except for the absence of a di-
Al. r1or on he a
an invitation to the Emperor would have
been delivered long ago. Further delay is
impossible if actual participation is to be
obtained. One of my most agreeable dtl-
ties, therefore will be to lay this matter
before the Emperor, and, If possible, to
secure his acceptance.

SHIRTWAIST MAN SUES HOTEL.
First Case of the Kind Ever Brought in
Pennsylvania Courts.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 24.-The
right of the ".shirtwaist" man to enter
| the dining-room of a hotel and be
served in that attire is involved in a
suit which his attorney is about to in
stitute in the local Common Pleas
courts against the proprietor of down.
town hosiery.
On one of the hottest days of last
July, De Wolf Norman entered the din
ing-room of the hotel minus his coat
and vest. but in a neatly fitting shirt
waist and belt. He took seat at a
table and ordered his lunch, but was
informed by the waiter that he could
not be served unless he donned his coat,
as "shirtwaist" men were not welcome
guests.
Mr. Norman asserted that he had the
right to dress as he pleased and insist
ed upon being served. The head
waiter then appeared on the scene and
unceremoniously elected him from the
room. Mr.. Norman, chagrined and in
dignant. at once consulted a lawyer,
who advised him to sue the proprietor
of the hotel for damages.
This is the first suit of this charac-
ter that has ever been brought in the
local courts.
