What can we do If everything is takel
from us, being without means and with
our rights to defend ourselves. Those
who are paid with our money to protect
and ciViliZe us are scandaliZing and de-
grading US with their corruption. The
whisky that mas made beasts of us In

Continuing the Winnebagos declare
that their lands. which have apparently
been sold by them, have been taken
away fraudulently Members OF the
tribe, they assert. have been forced to
sign blank papers they knew nothing
about; the checks they have received
have been taken from them by force or
offset by enormous whisky bills; their
agents have falsifed the itemized ac-
counts they sent to the department,
and during the last three months have
ridden all over the reservation getting
signatures from Indians to papers which
enabled spectators TO get hold of their
property. The climax. they charge.

70 speculators direct, the Government

closure of the speed at which the feet

that since Saturday last they have been
making about $50 miles a day, thus
avera ging more than ten miles an hour.
The report brought in by the Nubia
has caused intense excitement. indicat-
ing as it does the purpose of Admiral
Rogestvensky to meet the japanese
commander without delay. He has now
passed into the extreme danger zone of
the China sea. There is no harbor
wherein he can hide his feet and wait
the coming Of the squadron which sailed
from Jibutil three days ago
He might bring his ships into Turon
harber, but this fact would be instantly
cabled around the world. The same
would happen if he took them into
GCalong bay.
The Impression is unanimous here
among the English and German war
ships. that the Russian admiral is not
seeking 10 evade the japanese fleet, but
is ready TO give battle at the first op-
pcrtunity.
At the speed he was travelling when
sighted on Tuesday the Russians ought
to have been abreast of the Paracels
islands last night. and therefore Within
News o. a battle is looked for hourly,
as 1t seems improbable that Admiral
Togo will permit the enemy squadron

MANS ATTORNEYS
MAY NOT INSPECT
RECORDS OF JURY
Abandonment of Con-
splracy Charge a
Shrewd Move.
PLEADING GOES OVER
Court Refuses to Return
Seized Letters Taken
From Smiths.

NEW YORK, April IA surprise was
sprung by the district attorneys office
today, during the preliminary fighting
for Eantage ground in the trial of Nan
Patterson, the Florodora girl. who is to
be tried again for the alleged murder
of her lover, Caesar Young, next Mon
day.
Judge Foster, in general sessions. on
motion of Assistant District Attorney
Rand. dismissed the indictments against
HISS Patterson charging conspiracy.
This was great surprise to everyone
including counsel for the actress
Mr.. Rand, in explaining his action to
the court, stated that after mature de-
liberation he regretted the indictment
OF Miss Patterson for this crime, in view
OF the fact that an indictment for any
crime would seriously injure her at the
approaching trial for murder
A Shrewd Trick.
The statement of Mr. Rand that he
had made mistake is generally be-
heved - be clever move on his part
TO preclude the possibility of the de-
tense examining the grand jury min
utes, which contain certain information
that VIII prove extremely beneficial to
the prosecution, provided it remains Sc
cret until brought out at the trial.
Nan Patterson, her sister Julia. and
the latter's husband, J. Morgan Smith.
Fere brought into court from the Tombs
with dozen other prisoners charged
with larceny and other crimes. Seats
were provided for the actress and her
sister, but Smith had to stand up all
through the proceedings
Miss Patterson, dressed in a black and
white check suit, looked exceedingly
well. A far-away Ieok in her eyes oc-
ea.sIGnaiiy showed the strain under
ceIplngly, but simply, attired in a white
fhirt waist and dark skirt
Inc court room was crowded 1t was
a noticeable fact that many spectators
Nan Speaks to Father.
Nan Patterson's father who has been
by her side whenever possible during
her lung time of trouble was in court.
Miss Patterson had an opportunity to
speak few words of affection to him.
She also shooK nands and exchanged a
few words with her sister.
After the indictment against Miss
Patterson had been disposed of, Lawyer
Limburger, counsel for the Smiths,
made a motion that the district attor-
ney be compelled to return. letters and
other documents seized from J. Nor
gan Smith and his wife in Cincinnati
The motion was denied
Argument on a demurrer to the con-
spiracy indictments against the Smiths
was taken under consideration, and the
pleadings of the Smiths, therefore, went
over until Monday.
Lawyer Limburger, in his argument,
declared that the mere writing of a let
ter to Caesar Young by Julia, to the ef-
feet that Nan, her sister, was about to
become a mother, did not constitute a
crime, especially as it was not coupled
with any request for money or assist
ance of any kind.

Indians File Complaint
V0icing Their Wrongs
of Nebraska Tell Commissioner
How They Have Been Robbed and Swim
died by Graspng White Men,

From the Winnebago Indians, Of Ne
braska, has come a vigorous complaint
10 the Secretary of the Interior and the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs of the
manner in which that tribe has been
robbed of its lands and cast into outer
darkness by the white man for the past
twenty-five years.
The complaint is in writing ard is set
forth in a style which is mixture of
the Book of job and the sobbing of the
winter winds. Here is how it starts:
THE Winnebago Indians have no way
or means, no rights or privileges to
complain or TO defend themselves. We
were never heard, but always misrepre-
sented and blamed.
They Ask for Pity.
I'VE wish to address you today so that
everybody can see and hear it and per-
haps you or somebody else will take pity
on us in our misery and in our aff!ic-
ton. For the last twenty-five years,
many and powerful rings of spectators
in open collusion with Government
agents and officers have successfully
robbed and ruined US
"On our feeble resistance an occa-
sional Inspector was apparently sent to
our aid, but they never came TO see or
to hear us, but were always received
and entertained by the spectators who
were whitewashed, while we were iSnor-
ed and biz mai in their reports. We
lie that II would not do to look too
deep into our troubles for fear of a
rublic scandal. Too many respectable
citizens have secretly washed their
hands in our blood.
They brand us as lazy and shiftless.

Interned Warship
May Slip From Port

LONDON, April 14.-When will the Inn
pending battle between the Russian and
Japanese fleets be fought? is the ques-
ton which is engaging the attention OF
the naval correspondents of all the
London newspapers.
They conclude that while the news OF
the opening Of the conflict may arrive
at any moment, victory for Admiral
Togo will not be a very easy matter
The Russian ironclads are considered
as pretty nearly equal TO those Of Ad-
miral Togo's fleet, while the acutal
weight of metal discharged by those OF
his ships which can Tie in line" IS SUI
perior TO that of Admiral Togo.
One naval correspondent says that
while il has been Admiral Togo'S pol
lev throughout the war TO avoid any Sc
rious fleet action the moment is appar-
emily fast approaching when he will find
it impossible to avoid it.
A dispatch to the Morning Post from
Shanghai says it is believed that the
Russian cruiser Askold and the torpedo
boat destroyer Grosovoi. which are In
termed here, are preparing to slip out
secretly and join the Russian fleet 1t
is stated that they have coaled
Japan has warned China, who. how
ever. is powerless to prevent the escape
of the vessels.

SAIGON, April 14-There is now no
doubt that a fight between the Russian
and japanese feet may take place at
any moment
The British ship Sir George White, in
last evening from Manila, passed the
entire Russian squadron yesterday
morning 80 miles south of Triton island
In the Paracels group. The warships
were taking the nearest route to For
mosa, their course being almost due
east and their speed about nine knots
an hour.
Seven battleships and three irst-class
cruisers were in the fleet, and unless
the Russian commander should turn
sharply northeast when he reaches the
Paracels group he would have been well
of the island of Luzon yesterday
morning The position of the Russian
fleet disposes of all likelihood that they
OF lower Cochin China.
1t is just possible that the fleet may
stop at Gualong bay, at the island of
Hainan, in order to take on a final sup
ply of coal from the Golfers, but the
extreme probability now is that the
Russian commander is sailing as fast
as coal will carry him to meet the Jap
aEese ships.
His appearance in the regular trade
route. where his position must be noted
almost every hour, is direct proof that
the Russian admiral is not attempting
to disguise his movements.
The Sir George White passed him eX-
aCtly where q peaceful merchant ship
might be found on its way TO Formosa.
Should the fleet turn northeast its
movements will be picked up by ships
or the Hongkong route. and should he
turn southeast every ship going from
Manila TO Singapore will cross his path.
1t is clear, therefore. that the Rus
SLAMS are not seeking to evade the Jap
anese warships, and at nine miles an
hour the fleet will be off the island of
Formosa on Sunday morning. 1t is
hardly probable that Admiral Togo will
permit them to get so far without a
night attack upon portion of the fleet.
He must now be we'll informed as TO
the positions of the enemy, and so the
ravaI officers here are all of the opin-
ion that a conflict may be reported at
any minute.

arrived yesterday, sighted the Russian
war fleet on last Tuesday at noon in
latitude S degrees north longitude Jos
degrees 80 minutes east, 40 miles south
of Saigon They were steering east
northeast at a speed of between eight
and ten knots an hour. and on what is
known as the trade route to Japan.
This course indicates that the Russian

CLAY, w. Va, April 1.-THE first wo-
