REGARDING TRUST FUNDS.
facts In Relation to Indian Disburse'
menis For Mission Schools.

Washington, Feb. 6. President
Roosevelt's connection with the d.
version of Indian trust funds to the
support Of Catholic mission schools is
explained and Justified in communi-
cation addressed to the president by
Attorney General Moody which was
filed today with the senate committee
On Indian affairs by William H. Ket-
cham, director Of the bureau of Cath
Ollie Indian missions. Father Ket-
cham appeared before the committee
to defend his bureau against the
charges that it had been using undue
political influences to secure the use
of trust funds for Catholic schools.
Mr.. Moody's communication, dated
February 2, 1905, sets forth the rec
ord of cabinet meeting held in Janu-
ary. 1904. when the question of the
use of Indian funds fer sectarian
schools was discussed and the presi-
dent asked for an opinion as to the
authority to direct that contracts be
made for the use Of such funds by de-
nominational educational institutions.
Senator Knox, then attorney general,
decided that the action of congress in
declaring it to be the policy of the
government not to permit the use OF
the public moneys of the American
people for sectaran purposes did not
repeal previous laws. giving to the
secretary of the interior direction to
use the funds in any manner he saw
fit. Certain laws were cited to direct
attention to the presidents authority
in that regard.

STAND ON STATEHOOD.
Opponents Claim Votes They Cant
Rally When The Bill Comes Up.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The following
is an outline of the prospective vote in
the senate on statehood, based on
highest authority. The opponents OF
the bill claim to have the following
republican votes on the proposition
to stand by the bill as reported by the
senate committee:
Alger, Bond, Burroughs, Dietrich,
Elkins, Foraker, Hansbrough, Hey
burn, Scott, Stewart, McCumber.
This list is incorrect. At least two
if not three of them will vote with
Senator Beveridge. The following re-
publicans are classed as doubtful:
Perkins, Smoot Ankeny, Kearns, Eos
ter and Quarles. but four of them will
vote with Beveridge.
The democrats claim these votes to
make separate state of New Mexico
and strike out Arizona. This would in
dictate the passage of the Beverage
bill as reported, making two states of
the four territories.
The house committee on Indian af-
fairs voted down the resolution OF
Representative Stephens, of Texas,
calling for an investigation of the
$3.50, 900 fee paid to firm of attorneys
in the Choctaw- Chickasaw citizenship
case. the matter having been adjudi-
Gated by the courts.

FISHING LINES FROM eRUss.
Details In the Manufacture of Silk.
worm Gut.

worm Gut.
1t has been found that silkworm gut
forms the best line for fishing pur-
poses partly on account Of its great
tenacity and partly because 1t is so
transparent. Every year a sufficient
number of Spanish silkworm grubs
are selected for this purpose. After
they have eaten enough mulberry
leaves, and before they begin to spin.
they are thrown into vinegar for sew
eral hours. Each insect is killed and
the substance which the grub in the
natural course would have spun into
cocoon is forcibly drawn from the
dead worm into a much thicker and
shorter silken thread. The threads
are then placed in pure water for
about four hours and afterward dipped
for ten minutes in solution of soft
soap The fine outer skin is thus
Ioosened so that the workman can re-
move it with his hands. The threads
must be dried in shady place and
are often bleached with sulphur va
por until they acquire the bright ap-
pearance of spun glass.

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenent Towards the
Drunkard.

A great deal depends on the point OF
view. A good temperance woman was
led, in very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years was great suf-

Governor Hoch Does Not Favor State
Oil Refinery.
WOULD EXPERIMENT FIRST.
No Objection to Establishing Expert
mental Plant to Discover II State
Can Refine Oil at a Profit-other
Ways to Curb Oil Trust

Topeka, Feb. 4.-Governor Hoch Is
not in favor Of the establishment OF
big state oil refinery-not now, at
least. He believes the Standard Oil
trust can be curbed in other ways, and
is willing to try them first. If 1t Is
found that the other remedies will not
work, then he says he would favor
state refinery for commercial pur-
poses. However, until the plan OF
state control is tested and found in
adequate, he does not care to plunge
the people into the expense of con-
structing big refinery.
1.-The freight rate question enters
into the matter strongly said the
governor. "Unless the state is given
power to fix rates on oil the Standard
with It's grip on the roads could make
the state refinery an absolute failure.
Now, if proper railroad legislation
could solve the problem it would be
better for the state to do that than to
engage in the manufacturing business
itself. The Standard thrives on favor
able discrimination by the railroads,
so it is claimed. If its grasp on the
roads can be loosened, perhaps indie
pendent refineries would come into
the state and create some competition
not only in the purchase of crude Oil
from the producers, but in the sale OF

continued the governor. But there
are more ways than one of doing it.
If it develops that this is the only way
it can be done. l would plunge the
state deeply into debt for CONNER
cial refinery. But we should go slow"
Some of the lobbyists of the Oil
Producers Association have been u.s.
ing the argument to good effect among
members OF the legislature that the
governor is in favor Of a state refinery.
they base this declaration not on any
open statement the governor has made
on the state oil refinery proposition
but upon his general declaration in op.
position to the trust, made in his mes
sage and in his Kansas day speech.
~ have had in mind said the
governor, "a plan for the state to es'
tablish an experimental refinery to see
whether it could refine oil at a profit
figured that it would perhaps be wise
for the state to spend $4,000 or $4,000
on an experimental plant, but | have
never suggested to any one that we
should build a big commercial refin-
cry right on the jump. The state has

the time making experiments of one
kind or another. Perhaps an expert
ment in oil production would be good
thing. If it were demonstrated by a
small experimental refinery that mon
ey could be made in the enterprise
with square deal in freight rates and
other things, then private capital
might seek investment in independent
refineries. If private capital were
afraid to tackle the proposition, and
there could be no other way out, then
the state could go into the business on
big scale. But the experiment
should be made first
