WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 90
Congressman Steenerson saw Commits
sioner Richards, of the general land Of
flee, today and asked that certain
tracts of land in the Red Lake and
other reservations in Minnesota here
tofcre reserved from settlement be
thrown open to settlement. The conn
missioner directed the prepsra alton of
lists of such lands, aggregating about
5000 acres, and they will be opened in
accordance with the terms of the Nell
son act. They will be advertised for
thirty days, at the end of which time
settlers will be permitted to make en-
try. They will be required to comply
with the general homestead law as to
residence and cultivation and will have
to pay $1.25 an acre for their holdings
at the end of the residence period
This action is similar to that recently
taken in regard to lands in other
states, where it is hoped to win votes
by restoring large tracts of land to en-
try. Walter E. Clark.

There Is Danger of Losing Indiana
---FavOrabIe Outlook for Democrats
Is Reported From Abundant Re-
publican Sources

converts are ready to make their public
professions.
The conservative Republicans and
independents hesitated before commit
ting themselves, even in their own
minds, to the Democratic candidates
and principles. They proceeded with
the utmost deliberation. and reasoned
with one another and with themselves
until satisfied that they were making
no radical departure in turning to
Judge Parker as the exponent of their
ideas of safe and sound governmental
policy, but now they are ready to COM
nit themselves to his cause. They are
doing this, so far as the great major
ity of them are concerned, quietly and
without any bandwagon accompani-
ments, but the politicians. who always
keep an ear to the ground, heard the
premonitory rumbling of the changing
days ago and now they are rapidly al
tering their estimates as to the plurali
ty by which they expect to carry In
diana for their national ticket.
Evidences of this change in senti-
ment and statements as to the reduced
claims of the Republican managers are
not forthcoming solely from Demo-
cratic sources. Were that the case no
great weight could be attached to the
evidences and statements. 1t is from
independent and Republican sources.
as a matter of fact, that this informa-
tion is coming, and coming from such
sources its significance can scarcely be
.overestimated
The Indianapolis News which, as has
been noted heretofore, is an independ-
ent newspaper, with Republican ten
denotes, and is classed as the personal
organ of Senator Fairbanks, the Re
publican vice presidential candidate,
sounds a note of alarm to the Repub-
licans through its travelling political
correspondent. This correspondent re-
fers to the general feeling of indiffer-
ence among voters in all parts of the
state and then says:
1T is this Indifference that makes it
impossible to give any idea of what
the result in this state will be in No
vember."
This same correspondent found moth
ing but signs of Republican victory
four weeks ago. Now he says: There
is nothing in the political conditions,
as they exist now in Indiana, that JUS
titles the eXtravagant assertions made
by the managers of any of the parties.
The Republicans can justify their dec
laration that Indiana will go Repub-
lican because it has been going Re
publican for almost ten years, and
upon no other basis as seen by exist
ing conditions. They say that the peo-
pie are sane, but the polls In numerous
places show an unusually large number
of voters who will not tell how they
intend to vote. These are down on the
books as doubtful, and in Indiana there

DEFENDS WHITEMAN
His Sister Says He Is q Mere
Tool of Bad Men

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Mrs. Clara
j. Gibbs, only sister of Alonzo j.
Whiteman, who jumped from a rapidly
moving train at Dunkirk, N. Y, to es-
cape detectives who had him in GUS
tody, declared in New York tonight
that her brother was simply a tool in
the hands of wealthy and unscrupu-
lous men, who, seeking to gain the re-
rnainder of a large family fortune, had
protected him throughout his whole,
remarkable career of crime. Associat-
ed with these men were others who
made money by Whiteman's misdeeds
and feared the revelations his trial
might bring out. She said:
Our father left an estate of several
hundred thousand dollars, consisting
of timber lands in Michigan, MinEe-
sofa and Wisconsin, paper mills, min
ing and farming lands in every part
of the country. Vast tracts of land
near Duluth, Mimi, belonging to the
estate gained large value by reason of
mineral deposits, and business men Of
high standing protected Whiteman
while they gained from him conces-
sions of this property. We know that
officers supposed to be prosecuting
were really protecting him"

COLLINS MEN REFUSE

.HiIer Horton Declines Invita-

New evidence that James A. Martin
cannot deliver the Collins vote to r.

make its appearance. Not only are the
G. A. r. men bitter in their denuncia-
tion Of the new turn of affairs. but local
Republican leaders, among them Sen
ator Hiler Horton. st. Paul Repub-
lican, who Jointly managed the Ram

ton yesterday refused to espond to an
urgent invitation to attend confer
ence at the Republican state headquar-
ters, arranged in the hope of bringing
Mr.. Martins friends into closer com
munion with the Dunn campaign.
When the invitation came Senator
Horton sent a polite deelination. Some
of his friends went, and when the
meeting was over they told Horton
that they wished they had followed his
example. There had been a "jolly,"
but nothing substantial. They had at
tended the meeting, hoping to hear
from Mr.. Dunn some expression that
he would make concessions from his
earlier programme for the. division of
the loaves and fishes, if he were elect
ed. There was none The invitation
to come into line was scouchedsin pleas
ant language, but there was nothing
substantial behind it.
Messages have been sent out from
the state headquarters to remote parts
of the state to Collins men to come to

hotel registers fail to show any, rush

Van SAINT and Collins Firm
There were several conferences at
the state capitol during the day. Gov.
Van SAINT received manyE old soldier
friends. Judge Collins was. also at the
capitol during portion of the day. He
met the governor. They denied them
selves to newspaper men further than
to say they swouldsnot discuss the new
turn of events.
1t was stated With apparent show of
authority that the old soldiers had
congratulated the governor and the late

still standing firm.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-In a letter
from indianapolis a staff correspond
ent of the Brooklyn Eagle says: Three
weeks agO-a week or ten days, in fact
Indiana Republican leaders claimed
the state for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
by a plurality ranging from 10000 to
$4,000. Their conservative" figures
were around 10000 and $4,000. Today
they estimate their probable plurality
at from $4,000 to 10000. Indeed their
conservative leaders are giving no fig
ures. conhning themselves instead to
simple declarations that Indiana is
safely Republican, while from the East
comes the information that ."one who
speaks with authority" at Republican
national headquarters says that the
committee will be duly thankful to get
Indiana by any kind of a plurality.
A great change has come over the
spirit of the Republican dreams con-
cerning Indiana in a remarkably short
time 1t is change that is startling,
even to Democrats, while to Repub-
licans it is so alarming that. although
# would not be literally true to say
they are panic-s stricken, it is manifest
they are gravely concerned and that
they regard with serious apprehension
the probable developments Of the next
ten or fifteen days. The change is so
decided and so apparent that the only
reasonable explanation is that the Re-
publican managers were not justified in
their early claims.
1t is scarcely creditable that an al
teration of public sentiment of such a
marked character as to bring about
this scaling down of Republican claims
has occurred within the time noted,
for there has been comparatively little
of the work done that must be done to
cause such radical turn of mind on
the part of so many voters. The DEM
ocratic campaign work in Indiana, up
to this time, has been largely devoted
to organization details, and, although
the educational feature has not been
entirely neglected, it has not been un-
dertaken as yet on a scale to make
many converts.
The obvious truth of the matter is
that the converts were made months
ago. Foundation was laid by the Re
publicans themselves through their
surrender of their party wholly and
absolutely to the domination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and their Endorsement
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's administration and
public policy. This alienated thou
sands Of conservative Republicans, who
then looked to the Democracy. The
Democratic party has completed the
conversion of such citizens through the
work done at the st. Louis convention,
and it has been strengthened since the
convention by party procedure, by the
acts and utterances of Judge Parker
and by the rallying to his support of
conservative men and interests that

FOR PAYNE
Postmaster Generals Condi-
lion Creates Alarm

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept so. =
The condition of Postmaster General
Payne continued extremely grave
throughout the day. There were times,
notably in the early morning and late
in the afternoon, when the attending
physicians believed the end was near
at hand but the patient responded to
the heroic remedies applied and SEEM
ed TO regain some of the lost ground.
Tonight at o'clock Mr.. Payne fell
into a restful sleep, which continued
for some time. The doctors regarded
this as. encouraging for a peaceful
night.
The greatest cause of alarm was the
feeblenesS of the heart action and it
was found necessary to administer sa-
line solution and nitroglycerin TO
stimulate that organ. Only moderate
dCseS were given, however, and in
most cases the result was gratifying.
The most hopeful sign is that, although
his stomach has always been weak, he
has been able to retain nourishment to-
day.
During the sinking spells. several of
which occurred today and this evening,
MI. Payne retained consciousness
throughout and his mind seemed to be
active and alert He asked frequent
questions of those about him, indicat-
ing an interest in what was passing.
One or more physicians are con-
stantly at the postmaster generals
bedside, but aside from them and the
nurse, no one except Mrs. Payne has
been allowed in the sick room.
Dr. William Osler, the heart special
ist and diagnostician. of Baltimore,
was brought into the case this even
Ing. He said that while Mr.. Paynes
condition was critical, he had hopes
that with a restful night he would
show Improvement in the morning. AT
the same time, he added, the case was
like a Tip in the b9lance-it might
go one way or the other"
