MONEY BAD FOR INDIANS
INDIAN COMMISSIONER JONES
SAYS TT HAS A TENDENCY TO
PAUPERIZE THEM.
From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.

From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, D. c., Jan. Indian Com
missioner Jones to-day made some radical
statements relative to a division of the
Indian reservations before the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs. He declared
emphatically that he was favorable to the
allotment Of Indians on the reservations
and the sale of surplus lands to settlers
by congressional enactment without secur-
ing the consent of the Indians. He opposed
giving the Indians large sums and said
that lit would be better for the Indians
themselves if no funds were created to
draw interest and thus make the Indian
independent in a sense He character
lied such funds as a curse since they
virtually pauperized the Indians.
These statements create much surprise
among members of the committee. If
his ideas are carried out, as there is q
general disposition among congressman to
do, it will result in the passage of bills
to open many reservations in the west to
settlement and entry, for which bills are
now pending in both houses. In all cases,
however, in enacting such legislation, care
will be taken to provide that Indians shall
be paid good prices for their surplus lands.
Ihere is no disposition to take the lands
without payment, but members interested
want to avoid the necessity of securing
the consent of the Indians If they can.
Such legislation will be violently opposed
by some interests, but it is believed that
it will be enacted. LII
Among bills now pending affecting In
dian lands in the northwest are those for
the cession of a portion Of the Rosebud
reservation in South Dakota and Devils
Lake and Fort Totten reservations in
North Dakota. w. w. Jermane.

GAME PLENTIFUL IN ALASKA
Story OF Destitutlon at Fairbanks Denied
by Officers.

Washington, Jan. captain, o. A..
Nesmith, stationed at Fort Egbert, Alas
ka has wired the war department that
he received information from Lieutenant
Richard who was at Fairbanks as late
as Dec. %, that he neither saw nor heard
of any famine; that there had been a
shortage of supplies occasioned by an
early freeze, but that freighting had been
going on steadily and that game seemed
plentiful
This is direct contradiction Of the
message sent by the mayor of Fairbanks
to Senator Nelson asking for assistance.
Under date Of Jan. 4 General Funston
telegraphed he had instituted inquiry as
to how many rations could be spared, but
suggested that able bodied men who would
sit down at Fairbanks and await gov
eminent relief are entitled to little con-
sideration, since within ten days they can
reach Dawson, Rampant, Tanana or
Eagle, where there are abundant supplies
for sale.
He adds sarcastically that if these men
heard Of a gold strike they would snow
shoe a thousand miles.

SAGE KEPT THE MONEY
TT WAS GIVEN TO HIM TO TURN
OVER TO EMPLOYE BUT HE
KEPT 1T.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Jan. Russell Sage
may be called on to pay over $4,000
which he is alleged to have collected
for E. G. M. Rand and failed to give
him. While Mr.. Rand was railroad
expert for Mr.. Sage in 1896, he per-
formed a service for the Iowa Cen
trail railroad by fighting the Peoria
terminal company, which had raised
it's rental charge to the railroad COM
pany from $4,000 to $4,000. The
directors of the Iowa Central called
halt in the proceedings after a. time
and voted Mr.. Rand $4,000 for, his
services.
According to Mr.. Rand Mr.. Sage
said at the meeting, when the $4,000
check was drawn, Make it payable
to me; Rand is in my office and I'll
pass it on to him. After what he
considered a reasonable wait Mr..
Rand alleges he asked, Mr.. Sage to
have the Iowa Central directors pay
his claim.
Eyes, yes, Rand, I'll attend to that
the next meeting" Mr.. Sage replied,
as is set forth in court. But the mat
ter dragged along month after month,
Mr.. Rand asserts, and all the infor-
nation he could secure was Mr..
Sage's constant promise to- attend to
the matter. Finally Mr.. Rand says
he discovered the claim had been
paid months before. He began suit
against the directors Of the Iowa Cen
trail and has recovered a judgme MT for
$2,840. 1t is said the directors will
ask Mr.. Sage to return the $4,000.

Sioux City. Iowa, Jan. THE dele
cation of business men returned to-
day from st. Paul, where they went
yesterday to confer with James J.
HILL
The object Of the conference, as re-
vealed to them by Mr.. Hills remarks,
any light upon any Of the Great
Northern's plans for the development
Of the system in this territory, or for
the increase of terminal holdings in
Sioux City.
Mr.. Hills comment, however was
fully as significant, for he spent the
three hours discussing the possibili-
ties Of the development of this, terri
tory. He declared that if Sioux City
did not become an important point in
transportation matters it would. be
the fault of the people and not because
of any fault in the location. He did
not discuss promises of railroad con-
struction.

A MOTION TO DISMISS
DENIED BY THE COURT IN THE
EDWARDS-WOOD CASE - EVIL
DENCE OF LOCAL MANAGER.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Duluth, Mimi, Jan. Tn the case
Of the state vs.. Edwards, Wood g.
Co., the defense made a motion at
the close of the states evidence to
dismiss, shut it was denied by the
court.
To-day, George K. Taylor, local
manager for the firm, admitted that
q, car Of flax sold by the house for
Victor Carlson at $1.19h was bought
in by himself for the firm and re-
sold the following day at $1.20. The
state maintained that Edwards, Wood
& Co., as a commission firm, had no
right under the law to do this. The
claim Of the state all along has been
that this car of flax, said to have
been sold for Victor Carlson at $1.19h
was really sold at $1.20.
-Four rebukes, the last which came
in the tones of severest judicial an
noyance, were administered to Free
man P. Lane of Minneapolis, counsel
for the defense, yesterday.

STATE OPENS in
DIETRICH CASE

Strong Statement Of the Charges
Involving Bribery.
Declares the Senator Was Paid $500
and Other Considerations for
an Appointment.

Omaha, Jan. 7.-When the United
States circuit court convened to-day
in the Dietrich bribery case, the court

merchants, one miller, one printer,
two farmers, one bank clerk, two rail-

his opening statement with a summing
up of the counts in the indictment.
He cited the alleged agreement be-
tween Senator Dietrich and Postmas-
ter Fisher of Hastings.
The testimony will show" said the
district attorney, that the defend
ant received from Jacob Fisher
money, property and other valuable
considerations for procuring and aid
ing to procure for him the office OF

notified Fisher; that a conference fol-

WANT DEM CONVENTION
NEW YORK DELEGATES WILL DO
THEIR EEST TO GET TIRE
GARD STATE, SAFE.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, Jan. 7.-Senator. Pat
rick II. McCarren, who is slated for
the democratic national committee
man. from this state, is said to be
wrapped up heart and soul in the
nomination of Chief Judge Alton B.
Parker Of New York for president,
and that he will make his position
known TO the committeeman.
Leader Charles F. Murphy Of Tam
many hall is also to attend the meet
ing and probably Ex-Governor David
B. Hill and also ex-Candidate w. J.
Bryan. Regarding the statement that
ne was opposed to holding the con-
vention in New York, Mr.. Murphy
said last night:
wish to say the report is untrue. It is
just this in a nutshell I meant that New
York state is out of the doubtful states
and we don't need the convention from a
political standpoint. The state is demo-
cratic. The democrats have the city and
will capture the state. am in favor of
the convention in New York because of the
commercial benefit and social intercourse
it would promulgate. I shall appear be-
fore the national committee on Jan. II and
secure the convention for New York if
possible. This is not a political move
ment but a movement in the interest of
New York. :. If we do not. get the conven-
ton New York will not be injured polite

by twenty employees, none of whom
had ever been told his duty in case Of
fire. -a..s .,s
Noonan, active manager admitted
that eleven Of the theater exits were
locked and bolted.
The greatest loss Of life was in the
first and second balconies, where hum
dreds were suffocated or trampled to
death. Had the three exits in each
balcony been available, Inspector Full
kerson says the. loss of life must have
been greatly diminished.
There was never a fire drill in the
theater, and none of the stage hands
was ever informed as to the location
or use, of fire appliances or the opera
ton of the ventilators over the audito-
rum and stage.
The employees in the front Of the
house were thrown into a panic by
the fire. Two ushers, each Is years

alarm and did not return until the
next day. The stage hands all sought
safety on learning of the fire.

BOTH WARN CHINA
War Will Inevitably Tear Celestial
Empire to Pieces.


Empire to Pieces.
Picking, Jan. Russia has warned
China that If she plays into the hands
of Japan the Czar will send troops
against Picking. Japan commands the
Chinese war office to resist Muscovite
Establishments and defy Muscovite
bluff.
Apart from M. Lessar, the Russian
minister and his staff, all the diplo-
matte corps admires the activity and
decision of Uchida Yasuya, the Japan
csc minister. He interviews the Chi
nese officials daily and tells them that
If they yield to Russia they will af-
front all the world beyond the czar's
frontiers.
He warns them to beware "lest they
consign the empire to an arena where
1t will be torn to pieces by the wild
beasts of international rivalry"
The crisis is commented on by Vice
roy Alexieff's organ, the Nova Kraige.
as follows:
No threats can make Russia abandon
her legitimat, rights in Manchuria or in
Korea. The interests Of Russia and japan
can be reconciled without violating that
rountry's CKorea's) sovereignty. The out
come of the negotiations depends on the
number Of iron clads at Port Arthur and
of troops in Manchuria
Russia does not fear war, but she does
not desire 1t and therefore is seeking to
render it impossible.

not be abandoned till the first shot is
fired, but, in the language of an Of
fetal who is in position to know the
facts, sit will be almost a miracle II
war is now averted.'
1t is believed here that war will
come without formal declaration.
The rival forces will simply come into
collision. 1t is evidently the present
policy Of Japan to occupy Korea in
force-to do in a swift rush in that
country precisely. what Russia has
been doing steadily and stealthily for
years in Manchuria. Unless Russia
is prepared to back down, this military
advance by Japan will have to be re-
sisted, and the meaning of that is war.
In the opinion of officials and diplo-
mats here the collision is near at hand
perhaps a matter OF hours or a rev
days at the utmost.
The recent publication of an au-
thorized statement of the attitude Of
the Japanese government is held in
the best informed quarters to fore
shadow immediate hostilities. The
Japanese government would not have
given to the world such an explana-
ton and defense of Its course and OF
the present status of the negotiations,
accompanied by significant reference
to the impending conflict If there
were any real hope Of arranging an
honorable peace. This appeal to the
world for understanding and sympa-
thy is believed to foreshadow the end
of all negotiations and an immediate
resort to the arbitrament of the sword.
United States Will Be Neutral.
Altho the attitude Of the Washing
ton government is to be one of strict
neutrality, and Admiral Evans. in
command of our warships in Asiatic
waters. has been given instructions to
carefully avoid any appearance of IA
voritism, it is undeniably true that
sympathy is very strongly with Japan.
This feeling is unmistakable in all Of
fetal and non-official circles. 1t is
found in the administration, in the eX-
ecutive departments, in both houses
of congress and among private citizens
who mingle with officials socially or
on business. Probably if consensus
of opinion at the American capital
could be taken, not one man out of a
Russia.
Senator's and representatives with
whom I have talked, tell me popular
opinion among their people at home is
running quite as strong. Not many
years ago-three or four-Russia had
many friends in the United States
There were many who adhered to the
traditional friendship" between the
two countries.
Russia Not Liked.
The myth that Russia helped the
north at critical moment during the
civil war has played a persistent part
in effect upon public opinion. But
that tradition has been swept away by
recent events. Russia's treatment OF
the Jews, her tyranny in Poland and
outrage of Finland, her threats tc
make trouble for the Swedes and the
NorWegians by an encroachment or
the Scandinavian peninsula, and
above all. her tricky and mendacious
diplomacy, have Disguised millions OF
Americans and have led to a complete
reversal of public sentiment.
If Japan goes to war with Russia
the brave people Of the island empire
will have the good wishes and sympa.
thy of nine-tenths of the inhabitants
of the United States.

DREW DOUBLE PAY
Records Throw an Unexpected Light
on Dietrich's DOings.

Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. An investiga-
ton Of the records and vouchers on
file with the auditor of state discloses
that Senator Dietrich drew double pay
for thirty-three days, once as governor
of Nebraska and again as Ia United
States senator.
The disclosure was made thru the
plea made by the senator's counsel
that he was not yet a senator when
the crime with which he was charged
was committed. To disproye this al
legation, representative of"the treas
ury department at Washington is on
his way to Omaha to testify that Sena-
tor Dietrich's pay from the federal
government began the day after his
election by the Nebraska legislature,
which was on March %, 1901.
The records in the auditors office
show that Mr.. Dietrich held the office
of governor until May 1.
The state authorities are credited
with the belief that the senator may
either be prosecuted or, compelled to
return the money he. drew from the
state from the time of his election as
a senator until his resignation as gov
ernOr.

Leo Loeb Has to Submit to Surgical oper-

Chicago, Jan. AFTER undergoing a
serious operation at st. Luke's hospital to-
day Leo L. Loeb expects to be able to dis
card his crutches and take government
position offered him by President Roose-
welt.
Loeb gained fame at Manitou, Col. Aug.
5, 1902. by a wonderful Paul Revere
ride that saved the lives of 1000 people
endangered by a terrible flood Of water
sweeping down on their homes
He had discovered cloudburst and saw
three dams and a reservoir go out before
the flood. When about a mile from Mani
tou, galloping ahead of the torrent he fell
at Rainbow Falls and was terribly injured.
But bearing his pain he caught his horse
and finished his ride Since then he has
been frequently under the surgeons knife.
