INDIANS SUFFER FROM
SALT RIVER FLOODS

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 12.-George E.
Brown, superintendent of irrigation
for the Maricopa and Pima Indians,
says the rise in the Salt river has put
all the dams on the south side out of
commission. The Lambeye dam, the
Indian and Meridian dams are all
badly damaged, but as they are built
of straw, brush and gravel, they can
be repaired in a few days without eX-
pense. Perhaps 5000 for labor will
cover the cost of repairs. The work
of repairs will be begun at once. The
Indians can rebuild their dam with
out any expense whatever for labor,
and they will undertake the work at
once, as they will soon need wateNfor
the irrigation of their lands for wheat
and barley. They have had had plenty
of water since last May and have
raised good crops. The Maricopas are
in fair condition to pull through the
winter The Pimas at the Gila cross
ing have not been so fortunate. They
have had very little water for irriga-
ton this year, for the Gila river has
been destroying their dam and injur-
ing their bitches throughout the year
and it mas been hard work to put the
water on their lands and much harder
to keep it there, but they will go to
work making repairs this week, and
will no doubt soon have their lands
in good condition for seeding.

New York, Sept 12.--The inquiry
into the methods pursued by the chief
insurance companies was resumed To-
day by the special legislative com
mittee appointed for that purpose.
Edmund d. Randolph. treasurer of
the New York Life Insurance com
pany, was examined regarding the re-
moval of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul and the Chicago & North
western stocks from the assets of the
company which was forced by pres
sure of the government.
These stocks were ined over to a
trust company, controlled by ofiicials
of the insurance company, as collat-
eral for loans. One of these loans
was made on notes signed by col
ored messenger in the employ of the
insurance company at 5000 year.
at is a recognized custom of finan-
cial concerns" said Mr. Randolph,
ito have dummy bonds" He said the
trust company carried this transac-
tion along for the insurance company,
and made an additional 100000 for
the policy holders.
Mr.. Randolph said there was no
record on the books of the finance
committee of the insurance company
referring to the loans made to the
messenger, Marshall, and another EN-
ploye of the insurance company who
was named Madison. He also stated
that he did not make any delivery of
certificates of stock. He said that the
sales of the stocks were recorded in
the company's books, but that the
company kept control of the stock
after it went off the books, SO as to
make any profit they could.
