OF
THE W|NNEBAGOS
THE TRIBE HAS BEEN ROBBED
OF ITS LANDS.
PersistentIy Cheated by White Men
For twenty-five Years-AppeaI
to the Government.

Washington d. c., April 14.-From
the Winnebago Indians Of Nebraska
fas come a vigorous complaint 10 the
Eecretary of the interior and the COM
missioner of Indian affairs of the man
ner in which that tribe has been robb-
Ell of its lands, and cast into outer
darkness by the white man for the
last 25 years.
The Winnebagos declare that their
lands, which have apparently been sold
by them, have been taken away fraud
ulently.
Members Of the tribe, they assert,
have been forced to sign blank papers
they know nothing about; the checks
they have received have been taken
from them by force, or Offset by enor-
nous whiskey bills; their agents have
falsifed the itemized accounts they
sent to the department and during
the last three months have ridden all
over the reservation, getting sigma
lures from Indians to papers which en-
abled spectators to get hold of their
property. The climax, they charge,
came when their agent himself handed
TO spectators direct, the government
checks, the money belonging to the
Indians to pay fraudulent debts, and
whiskey notes of the Indians without
investigation or hearing, and without
the knowledge and consent of the In
dams.
The complaint is transmitted by
Philip Long, Winnebago, and is
signed by more than a hundred of his
tribemen. Some of the names attached
are: Red Legs, Charles Earth, George
Longtail, Louis Grayhair, Green Rain
bow, Pet Snake, Two Buffalohead,
South Wind, Big Tree, Walking Day,
George Whitening and Green Hair.

INJUNCTION AGAINST
LETTING CONTRACT

George w. Butler, as a taxpayer of
the city of Canton, yesterday secured a
temporary injunction restraining the
Board Of Public Service, and George
X. Whike, contractor from proceed
ing with the work of erecting the new
pumping station at the waterworks,
for which bids were received The
claim is made that the acceptance of
the bid of Mr., Whike was not legal
and the court is asked for a perman-
ent injunction to stop the letting of
the contract and the building of the
station under the bid
The petition filed yesterday states
that Mr.. Butler, who is understood to
be acting in conjunction with other
contractors, made a demand of City
Solicitor Hughes that he bring the
suit, which he refused to do.
Wilkes bid, it is claimed, was not
the lowest by about $780, The bid
submitted by the Melbourne Bros. was
thrown out because of an alleged ir-
regularity. The petition filed by Mr..
Butler charges that the advertisement
calling for bids was misleading and
that contractors could not bid intelli-
gently and that the blank forms for
bidding did not conform to the re-
quirements of the advertisement or of
what is required for bidding under the
law.
The claim is made that Wilkes bid
is irregular and should not be accept
ed and that if it is it will work hard
ship upon the taxpayers of the city. 1t
is claimed that the proce edings of the
board of public service were irregular,
invalid and illegal, in that they were
not specific enough as to the material
to be used
The matter was presented to Judge
Harter and he allowed a temporary
injunction which was served upon the
members of the board and Contractor
Whike. This will put stop to all
work until the matter is settled.
There is rumor going that the
board will reject all bids received and
Ie-adVertise the letting.

HOSPITAL SHIP
On Way to vIadvostok With Sick
Russian Sailors.

Singapore, April 15.-Advices from
Saigon show that the Russian hos
ptal ship Orel, after remaining sc
hours in the harbor departed. One Of
the doctors on board stated that she
was enroute to Vladivistok and that
on board of her were the sick of Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's feet who were to
be taken to that port to recuperate.
The Orel shipped about 900 tons Of
coal and also large quantity of sup
plies of every nature although her Off
GERS were careful to impress upon all
of the officers of the port that the
supplies would be needed by the sick
curing the trip to the Russian port.
Four German steamers, laden with
selected Welsh coal, which were an
cnored off Cape st. Jacques Thursday
night, left Friday and are believed to
have received orders where to meet
Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet. -.

HISTORY OF THE
TAINTED MONEY
GIVEN BY ROCKEFELLER TO THE
AMERICAN BOARD.
Secretary Barton Tells How He Hap.
pened to Get the 100000
Gift For Missions.

Boston, Mass, April 14.--Secretary
James L. Barton, D, d., is sending
today to the corporate members OF
the Amerisan board a complete state
ment with the correspondence show
Ing the steps which led to the gift
from Mr.. Rockefeller " 100000.
This statement is made in the inter
est Of an accurate understanding and
to correct q false impression created
in some quarters by brief published
interview with himself, referring to
the beginning of negotiations which
was reported some two weeks ago and
had been widely misused and mis-
quoted. In this report to the cor
porate members, Secretary Barton
states that the first intimation com.
ing to an officer of the board that any
one of Mr.. Rockefeller's family was,
or could, be interested in the Ameri.
can board or in mission work outside
of his own denomination was receiv.
ed through q letter to him from John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., in April, 1902,
asking for an interview upon mis-
sionary work in general. This inter-
view was held a week later when
missionary work as a whole and the
operations of the American board in
particular were discussed. Nothing
came Of this conference.
In October, 1903, Secretary Barton
presented the work of the American
board in the Congregational church
at Montclair, N. j., and in the audi
ence was Rev f. r. Gates, a regular
attendant upon that church, and con-
fldential agent of Mr. Rockefeller.
More than year later, in Decem-
ber of last year, Secretary Barton
wrote Mr.. Gates in regard to the 1S
higher educational institutions of the
board, sending him a new booklet
upon this work just issued and ask.
ing IL there would be an opportunity
of bringing these institutions to the
attention of John D. Rockefeller with
view of securing funds for their
endowment in whole or in part. Mr.
Gates replied that Mr.. Rockefeller
had declined hitherto endowing insti
tutions in foreign countries but had
sometimes made contributions for the
erection of necessary buildings and
for current expenses.
Secretary Barton presented, late in
December a statement of certain
pressing special needs then existing
in several of these institutions in
Turkey, Bulgaria, India, Ceylon, Jap
an, Spain and Mexico, including publi-
cation, medical educational and indus
trial operations, calling for 100000
A conference was called for by Mr.
Gates upon the subject of this letter,
For six Of the ten objects presented,
Mr.. Rockefeller promised, through
his agent Mr.. Gates, to give 100000.
This letter announcing the gift was
received February 13, 1905, and was
presented to the prudential committee
at its regular meeting the next day,
when the gift was accepted.

AN INDIANS RIGHT
TO DRINK WHISKY
UPHELD BY DECISION OF UNIT
ED STATES SUPREME COURT.
But to Drink II or Sell II Like a
White Man He Must Own His
Land.

Guthrie, Okla, April 4.-The deci-
sion of Justice Brewer, in the supreme
court of the United States holding that
an Indian whose land had been al
iotted has an equal right with white
man to buy and sell whiskey may re-
suit in the release of every Indian
from every tribe that are now held
IN federal Jail as we'll as that OF
every white man now held for trial or
convicted of selling whiskey TO an In
clan.
An attorney here is now preparing
habeas corpus proceedings to secure
the release of about so persons who
have been convicted for "bootlegging. I"
The text of the decision is that In
dians, when they hold their lands in
severally, have the same right to drink
whiskey that a white man has. The
decision will probably result in emp
tying the federal jails of hundreds Of
this sort of offenders.
During the past year the Guthrie
federal prison accommodated nearly
400 prisoners, a great majority of
whom were convicted of "bootlegging."

BUY A Big TIN MILL

Mr.. J. z. Carnahan and Ed A. Lang
enbach, who are at the head OF the
Csrnahan Tin Plate mill and largely
interested in the other industries of
the Berger group in this city, have
purchased the immense mills at Green
castle, Ind, and will put them in op-
GRAFTON at once, employing 500 men.
The output will be tin plate.
The mills originally cost to build
100000 and when they we're closed 1t
was great blow to the prosperity of
that town. The plant was sold to
Messrs. Carnahan and Langenbach at
a sacrifice of $150,000.
Mr.. Carnahan is in Mexico and will
uot return for several weeks. Mr.
Langenbach stated last night that the
full details of the transaction could
not be given out for few days, but
that it was their intention to put the
plant into operation at once. Asked
as to whether or not he or Mr.. Carna-
ban would leave the city, he said:
mo; this will be side issue. We
expect to remain in Canton and look
after our interests here"
1t is understood that the demand for
tin plate is so great that the mill here
cannot meet the orders and this addi-
tional property has been acquired for
that purpose. The acquisition is said
10 be modern mill and thoroughly
equipped.

CITY RECORDS
Of Havana Stolen From
the Keeper Who was
Held Up By
CONGRESS MEMBERS

Havana, Cuba, April 14.-Not since
the republic of Cuba was created has
there been greater excitement in the
city of Havana than prevails tonight
over the holding UP of the keeper Of
the city records and the larceny from
his Office of all of the documents and
papers pertaining to the recent scan
dal in the finances Of the city. To
make the matter more sensational the
larceny OF the records was planned
and carried out by Eve radical mem
bers of congress who are immune
from arrest.
The streets Of the city are tonight
filed with a shouting mob of faction
lists, some of whom are vowing ven-
geance on the perpetrators of the
crime and others defending their ac-
tion. Many minor clashes have oc-
Curred and the police are having their
hands full In preventing bloodshed.
All Of the newspapers are issuing fire.
quent extra editions telling of the
trouble and this has helped to inflame
the mobs.
The trouble dates back fortnight
when one of the newspapers printed a
special edition in which grave charges
were made against Mayor O'Farrell, of
Havana and the radical members of
the city council. The charges in effect
alleged that the mayor and his asso-
ciates in the city government had mis-
appropriated large amount of the
public funds and stated that If an in
vestigation of the books Of the city
department were made they would
bear out the charges. AS the radicals
have been opposing President Palma
he was appealed to to have the books
examined by expert accountants and
the truth or falsity of the charges
shown.
1t was rumored today that the pres
ident had decided to take such action
and a meeting of the leaders of the
radical party was held to decide what
should be done. Following this meet
ing the five members of the congress
put in an appearance at the office of
the keeper of the archives of the
city. After threatening the clerks in
the room with bodily injury If they
moved they searched the vaults and
let with several Of the books in which
the records Of the city are kept and all
OF the documents bearing upon the
alleged scandal.
What they have done with the docu-
ments cannot be learned and the five
members are keeping out of sight. A
meeting of the cabinet was held at
which the matter was discussed but
what action was taken is not yet
Known.

ON TWO WITNESSES
Hangs the Fate of Nan Patterson,
Ex-FIorodora Girl.

Hangs the rate OF Nan Patterson,
Ex-FIorodora Girl.
New York, April 1.-THE fate OF
Nan Patterson will practically be de-
cided by the testimony of two witness
es who will be called by the prosecu-
ton. One is Hyman Stern, the Sixth
avenue pawnbroker; the other is JOS
eph Hewitt, the newsboy who has a
stand at the Circle.
Hewitt, it is learned, identified
Smith as the man who was with Nan
Patterson the night before the murder
and who put Nan into a hanson cab
and said to her: You have got to
do it,"
Stern, who sold the pistol with
which Young was killed, according to
cX-Assistant District Attorney Daniel
O'Reilly, will take the witness stand
and swear that Smith is not the per-
son who purchased the revolver found
in Youngs pocket on that fatal morn
