PIMA INDIANS
NOT STARVING
Investigation Reveals That
Charge Recently Made by
Missionaries Is UnfOunded

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-A thorough
investigation by the Interior Depart
ment of the charge recently made to
the President by delegation of the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions
that the Indians of California are on
the verge of starvation reveals the fact
that the Indians. on the contrary, are
amply provided for. 1t was found that
1900 already had been authorized for
the relief OF the Pimas during this fiscal
year. Acting Secretary of the Interior
Ryan ADVISED Commissioner of Indian
Affairs jones. who was at San Fran
cisco. to meet a representative of the
PresbyterieL board at the Pima reser-
walton. The Commissioner has tele-
graphed the department that he has
returned from visit to the Pimas, and
he adds
There is no more suffering there
than exists on nearly every reservation
n the Southwest owing to the severe
drought during the last three years.
The agent has ample funds on hand to
relieve any suffering"
The agent for the Pimas has wired as
follows:
No Indians are starving on the Pima
reservation. Flour, beef and wheat are
issued to the 500 unable to work. One
dollar a day is paid to the Indians who
will work. Sufficient Sunds have been
authorized for Immediate relief. Moth
ing is required at present. Twenty
thousand dollars additional will be re-
quired for the Pimas after January 1
if the drought continues"
The Interior Department recently
instructed it's superintendent Of irriga-
tion to construct a system of wells to
supply water for irrigation purposes for
the Indians. as the water from the
river already has been diverted by the
white settlers above the reservation.

WELL KNOWN ODD FELLOWS
WHO WILL TAKE PART IN
CELEBRATION NEXT MONTH.

H. Dobbin. A. J. Coldewey and Edward
R. Moss.
The committee is completing the de-
tails, and by the time the distinguished
members of the order arrive in this
city there will be welcome for them
such as never before was extended to a
visiting body of Odd Fellows.
In view Of the fact that the time be-
tween the departure of the knights
Templar and the arrival of the Odd
Fellows is so short, it would be impos-
sible to change the decorative feature
of the electrical display on Market
street and around Union square except
TO substitute the Odd Fellow emblems
for those Of the Knights Templar. Ar
rangements have been made by which
the electric lights will be allowed to
remain in place until after the adjourn
ment of the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
But the committee will have special
decorations at the Odd Fellows build
ing, corner of Market and Seventh
streets, the Native Sons building,
where the grand body will meet, and at
Golden Gate Hail. The electrical deco
rations will also remain at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion.
A number of the counties Of the State
have given notice that they will install
an exhibit in the art gallery of the Pa
vilion, so that the 10000 or more visit
ors may have an opportunity to judge
of the possibilities of the State.
An official programme is being pre-
pared This will be free from all ad-
vertisements.
The badge committee has had made
a handsome oxidized silver emblem at
tached to a royal purple ribbon as a
souvenir of the occasion and a creden-
tial to admit the wearer to the places
Of special celebra ton.

ABOUT WOMAN
Investigation Into Death
of Young Girl Tends to
Implicate Her StepmOther
Special Dispatch to The Call.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-The in
vestigation into the death of Miss Cry
stal Krauss, the daughter of a Hart
ford City druggist, tends in every way
to confirm the charge of murder
brought against her stepmother and
the excitement in the community is in
tense Several witnesses '-ere exam
ined to-day and many circumstances
were developed that show that sui
eide was not probable.
Among the witnesses was Lloyd
Sommerville. a nine-year-old boy who
said that Mrs. Rae Krauss, the girls
stepmother, who has been arrested,
gave him note and money with which
to buy strychnine at Logan's phar-
macy. The boy is intelligent beyond
his years and fully realizes the i'm
portance of a truthful statement.
Mrs. Peter Hurley, Y. % lives next
door to the Krauss family. testified
that she saw Mrs. Krauss give Lloyd
Sommerville the note. Che is positive
of that fact, for she says she intended
quiZzing him on account Of collecting
money. The boy said that when he
returned with the strychnine Mrs.
Krauss thanked him and said she
would give it to woman, meaning
Mrs. Shewalter, a neighbor, who she
said was waiting inside.
Mrs Krauss denies having sent the
boy and says that she would not know
Lloyd Sommerville if she saw him.
Another important witness has been
found in the person Of Miss Enly Mar
tin, who was friend and associate Of
the dead girl. The two were to make
a call Tuesday afternoon and Miss
Martin went to the Krauss home and
found Crystal i'll. She said she had
been unable to retain anything on her
stomach and told about having been
in her fathers store to get some pep
permint to settle her stomach. In
spite of her illness, said Miss Martin,
she was in a contented mood.

RIVER CLAIMS
EIGHT VICTIMS
Man Takes Party of Children
Bathing in the Mississippi
and All but One Perish
WALK OFF A SAND BAR
While Holding Hands They
Suddenly Step From Shall
low Water to Deep Channel

ALTON, H., Aug. 5.-While bathing
Michael Riley, his daughter and six of
the latter's girl friends were drowned.
One child who was in the party was
rescued. The dead:
MICHAEL RILEY, age 80 years.
ELIZABETH RILEY, aged IL years.
ALLIE SNYDER, age IA years.
LUCY PATES, age IA years.
LIZZIE PATES, age IA years.
BESSIE BRUM, age Ii years.
MYRIE BRUM, age 10 years.
RUTH MARSHALL, age IL years.
Riley lived near the river, in the
southern part of the city, and was ac-
customed to bathe on the beach in
front Of his home after his return from
work Tonight his little daughter
begged to go with him, and Riley took
her and seven of her friends to the
beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley
bade the children join hands, and they
all waded into the river and walked
along a sandbar which stretches out
into the stream at that point They
had gone some distance from the shore
when suddenly the whole party disap-
peared beneath the water, having in
the darkness stepped from the sandbar
into the deep channel.
The children struggled and scream
ed, fighting desperately to reach the
sandbar on which the water was only
a foot or so in depth. Riley, who is
said to have been a good swimmer. is
believed to have been made helpless by
the girls clinging to him and hamper
ing his efforts to save them.
The only one in the party to regain
the sandbar was Mary Timiny. eight
years old The child is unable to tell
how she saved herself beyond the
statement that Il snatched my hand
| loose from the grasp of the little girl
next to me and soon found that 1 could
stand up and the water only came to
my knees
The beach where the accident oc-
CURED is practically deserted after
nightfall and the screams of the little
Timiny girl failed to attract any one
to the scene. After Riley and the little
girls playmates had disappeared be-
meath the water the child ran from the
beach and reached her home, scream
ing at the top of her lungs. She was
so hysterical that it was scme time
before her parents could gather an ac-
count of what had happened.
According to the account given by
the Timiny girl after she had been in
a measure Gained by her parents, the
drowning was caused by the excite
ment incident to the passage of a large
river steamboat. Before entering the
water Riley had instructed the little
ones to maintain a tight grasp on one
another's hands, he taking a place in
the center. The wash from the steam
boat caused considerable confusion
among the girls and in the darkness
they lost their bearings. Before they
were aware of their danger two or
three Of them had stepped off the sand
bar into the channel. dragging the
others with them.

STRIKES MAKE
BUSINESS DULL
Labor Controversies Militate
Against Resumption of
Normal Trade Conditions

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: Labor controversies are the
serious drawbacks in business, most
other important factors tending toward
Improvement. Despite some reduction
in the yield Of wheat crop prospects are
most encouraging, and the loss in guam
tity Of wheat promises to be fully offset
by higher prices, so that the agricul-
tural communities will be in a position
to purchase commodities freely. De-
layed orders for iron and steel products
are being placed, and at woolen mills
there is a notable increase in activity.
Railway earnings in July were only "a
per cent lower than a year previous.
and at many cities there is evidence of
returning confidence. But several
strikes are in progress, and this, to-
gether with others under consideration,
initiate against the resumption of nor
NAL conditions in trade and manufac-
ture.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week shows a decrease of S1,047, ASS
in exports and loss of $3,230,11 in i'm
ports as compared with the same time
last year. the latter item being partially
responsible for the loss in federal reve-
nue..
Tanners are seeking hides in good
condition, in which the supply is short,
as those taken off by unskilled hands
since the strike began are badly cut
and are offered at concessions.
Failures this week in the United
States are 2SO. against 22O last week,
231 the preceding week and 17S the cor
responding week last year.
Failures in Canada are IS, against is
last week, the preceding week and
