RoBBING THE INDIANS.
Bishop Walker of New York Says
Cheating is Widespread.

dispatch to the NewhYork Tribune from
Rochester last night says: The Right Rev.
William d. Walker, Protestant Episcopal
bishop of western New York and member
of the United States Indian commission,
last night publicly, and today with even
more emphasis in an Interview, spoke his
mind concerning the wrongs done the In
dams not only in the west, but also in this
state. Bishop Walker said that some Of
the land steals effected against the Indians
in this state paralleled those made notorious
by the Dawes commission exposures. but Of
smaller magnitude. Bishop Walker said:
These frauds in the Indian territory are
parralleled in New York state by the at
tempts on the part of INSCRIPTIONS wealth
seekers to rob the reservation Indians of
their lands. The Vreeland bill, which was
defeated in Congress last session, is an ex-
ample. Constant vigilance must be exerted
by the friends of the unfortunate Indians
to keep them from the talonS of those birds
of prey. The man in the street knows and
cares very little about the Indian and his
troubles and his wrongs. Those persons
alone who have made his conditions a study
learn of the threatened evils and are in a
position to ward them off.
An incident of the rapacity and summing
of these land sharks which has never before
been made public has come to the attention
of the friends of the Indians in this part of
the state. The Indians themselves are au-
thority for the facts. An oil company
known the Seneca Oil Company, sue
ceeded In purchasing valuable holdings
from the Indians in the southwestern part
of the state. and made them large prom! seq
as an inducement. The lands were obtained
at ridiculously low rates, and then almost
Immediately were sold to the Standard Oil
Company. it Is said. at price estimated
at from $4,000 to $500, OcO. One of the men
prominently identified with the promotion
of the Vreeland bill was implicated in this
transaction.
Bishop Walker spoke in the highest terms
of the late Senator Dawes, whose name is
still attached to the commission which he
brought into existence. HE was an hon
est, upright and just man." said Bishop
Walker. If he had lived, these terrible
wrongs would never have been possible. 1t
is unfortunate that his name should be con-
nected with the men who have committed
them"

NEWARK-TIED UP
EVERY CAR LINE IN THE CITY
DESERTED By CREWS.
Most Extensive Strike Known for
Twenty Years - Action of Union
Said to Be Unauthorized.

A Newark, N. ]. Dispatch received last
night says: The bigge4t strike Newark has
had in almost twentyyears began tonight
and has extended until. at midnight, not a
street railway wheel was turning except
under such cars as were run out by in
spectors and under heavy police guard
1t is said that the strike by tomorrow will
have extended to all the power houses in
GLIDING those that supply the lighting cir
cults. The gas house employees are also said
to be ready to go out and complete the tie
up. The Newark trolleymen declare the
strike will be general through Essex, Hud-
son. Passaic. and Union counties before
noon tomorrow.
More Money Wanted
The men have demanded % cents an hour.
the abolition of the split runs system,
and recognition of the union.
President McCarter of the public service
corporation. which controls most of the
trolley lines had practically promised that
the company would accede to the mems de-
mands. but 1t is understood tonight that
there has been objection to this on the part
of some of the directors. At late hour to-
night the president had not definitely in
formed the employees what the real attitude
of the corporation Is.
Coming as it did at the busiest traffic hour
OF the day the strike caught thousands of
working people and shoppers unprepared.
Many of them were compelled to walk miles
to their homes In the suburbs.
Abandoned the Cars.
The strike was rapidly progressive. In
accordance with a general understanding
the trolley cars began to run into the barns
at $50. Here the motormen abandoned
them and the conductors turned in their
raportS and walked away
AS fast as the men deserted their cars
they walked to Lyric Hall, where they went
into secret session. The strike was unlock
ed for because the national officers of the
Trolley Garments Association have not au-
thOrized the strike, and President Mahon is
not even here. He is thought to be in Chi
cago. kilograms have been sent to him
urging him to come here quickly as pos
sible. as the situation is growing serious
The chief of police has ordered out all the
reserves and has detailed guards for the
various barns. as well as stationed strong
forces at what are considered the danger
sign of violence.
Independent Action.
JERSEY CITY. N. j.. September "a
President Ford of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor tonight said that the
action of the trolleymen of Newark in de-
serting their cars was not authorized.
President Ford declared that the men
could not have gone on strike officially I'M
til ordered to do so by the head of their as
ISOLATION William Mahon. He doubted If
their association would back them up If
later a general strike ordered. Mr..
Ford went to NeSafk later to see if he
could do anything toward clearing up the
situation in that city.
