PUEBLO INDIANS.
A Delegation Here to Resist Territorial
Taxation.

A party of gaily bedecked Pueblo Indians
from New Mexico called at the Department
of the Interior this morning and paid a
short visit to the Secretary. Every man in
the party had the face and figure of the
full blood, and all the distinctive character
istics of his race in its highest form. One
or two of them were dressed in the ordi-
nary garb of the white civilization, and
some were caparisoned in all the rich finery
of the Indian wardrobe, wearing their
bright-colored blankets and glittering trim
kets with the grace and abandon of the
Spanish cabalero, with whom they are more
familiar than with the solid business c1ti-
zens of the United States. The Indians We're
under the special care and guidance of Col.
Clinton J. Crandall, superintendent OF the
Sante Fe Indian School, They represent
eight thousand Pueblo Indians, and are in
Washington for the purpose of getting GER
tain legislation from Congress.
The Pueblo Indians are unlike any other
Indian tribe in the United States in many
ways, but in no manner are they SO distinc-
tive a. in the fact that they own absolutely
their farms and reservations, and have
never received a penny of money or an acre
of land from this government. The Pueblos
were settled in New Mexico before the war
between the United States and Mexico, and
when the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, together with California and
Texas, came into the United States by
means of the treaty which concluded that
war; the PuebloS, a matter of course,
came in too. The land they then occupied
and that they still occupy, was obtained by
them from the government of Mexico, and
when the territory came into the United
States this government confirmed the act of
Mexico. The Indians remained content in
this situation until short time ago. when
the territorial government of New Mexico
sought to exact taxes from the Indians for
their property. The Pueblos resisted the
payment of taxes. No other Indians in the
country are taxed they claimed and they
were not allowed the rights of citizens. The
tax rate was high, being three dollars per
hundred in some cases. To pay at such a
rate would impoverish the entire tribe and
throw to waste the work of years. The case
was taken to court, and the Indians were
given the decision. The territorial govern
ment carried the matter to the territorial
supreme court, however, and there the de-
cision was against the Indians. The matter
was then brought to the attention of Con-
gress, and g. bill was introduced in the
House exempting the Pueblos from tax
alton. The bill passed the House, and is
now before the Senate, and the Indians
think they have an excellent chance of it's
passage.
The party sent here includes eleven of the
best men in the tribe. They are all governors
or ex-governorS of the various pueblos or
villages, and the majority of them speak the
purest kind of English and Spanish They
represent nineteen villages, situated in New
Mexico around Santa Fee and Albuquerque.

CHANGE IN PLANS.
New York Republicans Will Lead In
augural Civic Division


Subsequent to the announcement in The
Star last Saturday to the effect that the
Conkling Unconditional Republican Club OF
Utica, n Y, would be given the place OF
honor at the head of the civic division OF
the inaugural parade, there has been some
remarkable activity on the part of members
of the Republican Club of the city of New
York. with the result that it is announced
today that the latter organization Will De
given the right of the line, with the Utica
Club acting as escort.
No explanat ton is made for this sudden
change of plan, but the reasons are appar-
ent. President Roosevelt is a member or
the Republican Club of the city OF New
York and so are nearly all the prominent
republicans of the empire state. 1t is said
that this organization is far more represen-
tative, and it was made clear that the Pres
ident would prefer it be given the place OF
honor. The result, however, is sort OF
compromise. for the Conkling Uncondition-
ais will be up in front as the escort of
honor, and the public may take their
choice
Mr.. Louis Stern, president of the New
York city club, was in Washington with
reference to the matter and had confer
ences it is understood, with Mr.. Warner,
General Wilson and President Roosevelt.
His appeal was made officially through
Representative Sherman of New York, who
also is a member of the organization.
Spanish War Veterans.
About 20O men who served Is soldiers,
sailors and marines during the war with
Spain met at Rechabite Temple, 643 Louis
lana avenue yesterday afternoon and ar
ranged plans for their participation in the
inaugural parade. 1t is hoped by the lead
ers of this movement to have the 200 men
in line. uniformed in khaki. Capt. Adolph

lowing recruiting committee, with head

a delicate matter, but If any given rate is
found to be wrong 1t is useless to say that

Heartily Indorse His Position.

A delegation of the National Hay Associa-
ton, including II. G. Morgan of Pittsburg,
president of the organization, and twelve
members representing all parts of the coun-
try, called on President Roosevelt today to
thank him for the encouragement that part
of his recent message to Congress relating
to railroad freight rates had given the men,
bers of the association. and further to en-
list his influence in behalf of them busi-
ness men against whom, they maintain, the
railroads had Disseminated. In a formal
statement made to the President by Charles
England of Baltimore the delegation urged
that the necessity for the enlargement of
the powers of the interstate commerce COM
mission was demonstrated clearly by the
attitude of the railroads toward the bust
ness of the hay association.
1t was pointed out that hay had been
advanced by the railroads to freight of the
fifth class, increasing the rate from 81 to
81. 40 per ton, thus prohibiting business in
some sections and imposing a burden upon
it in all Others" In 1900 the National Hay
Association filed complaint with the inter-
state commerce commission. Two years
later the commission rendered decision
sustaining in all particulars the contention
of the association and issued an order that
the railroads should cease to charge fifth
class freight rates on hay. The railroads
ignored the order and the commission In
stituted proceedings in the federal court
at Cleveland to enforce it's order. That
case is still pending.
'Thus, for five years" continued Mr. En-
gland. have the railroads persisted in
charging unfair and discriminative rates
on hay in defiance of the decree of fair
and impartial tribunal after a fair trial.
$50 long as present conditions exist the
construction of new and independent lines
cannot be expected. and railroads today
hold the power to regulate interstate COM
meree, notwithstanding that such power is
alone granted Congress by the Constitu-
ton. Appeals or protests against discrim-
nations. no matter how reasonable or well
founded, are treated contemptuously and
railroads seem to regard all business men,
organizations or commissions as their enc
mics unless they can control them. and,
with this feeling becoming general, the de-
