RESULT OF TESTS
Dark-Green Mail Boxes Do Not Need
Painting SO Often.

Orders to have the Minneapolis let
ter boxes painted green were not the
result of chance. They came as the
result of tests which showed that green
paint was more durable than the alu-
minum paint in use for the past six
years. The test was so conclusive that
the change will be general and will be
essary to paint the boxes. Minneapolis
is the first city to come under the new
orders.
The use of aluminium paint came
about thru the orders Of Superintendent
Machen. The order was one Of the
causes which led to the investigation
up during the hearing.

SITUATION ALARMS THEM
ST. Petersburg Anxious Over Economic
Conditions in Poland

BY Associated Press.
st. PETERSBURG, Jan. 81, 2:45 p. m.
The latert reports from Warsaw de-
pict the situation there and throughout
Poland as increasingly serious. Minor
collisions between the troops and police
and the populace continue to swell the
number OF dead. Trade and industry
are completely at a standstill, and the
presence of thousands of idle workmen
who have been out of employment for
months and are starving and desperate
adds a factor of the greatest danger,
which is not present to the same extent
in st. Petersburg, where the govern
ment's orders for war purposes have
kept the factories busy.
The American vice consul at Warsaw,
Witold Fouchas telegraphs that many
stores, chiefly Russian, have been pill
laged by Russians. and that the shops
and factories without exception are
closed. A general strike is in effect.
Those who are not willing to walk out
are compelled to join the strike by
threats. Mr.. Fouchas saw no improve
ment in the situation up to last night,
and reported the receipt of bad news
from Lodz and Radon.
1t is estimated that the number Of
killed or wounded. at Warsaw is about
100 which Is a conservative estimate.
The rioting in Poland will largely af-
feet the economic situation. The fac
tories at Warsaw, Lodz, Petrokoff and
other industrial centers in Poland have
been compelled to gradually reduce
their output and decrease their working
forces since the outbreak of the war,
which has almost entirely closed the
Siberian and Manchurian markets
The result has been that thousands of
workmen have been thrown out of
employment for many months, furnish
ing a horde of hungry, dissatisfied, des-
perate men, among whom the news
from ST. Petersburg produced an out
burst of riotous and incendiary spirits.
1t is feared that large proportion OF
these thousands may be utilized by the
revolutionary organizations in POLAND.
which is the hotbed of socialism, ard
the movement may develop purely
political character though there is no
indication so far of any cooperation
on the part Of the intelligent classes

wILKES-BARRE. Pa, Jan. 81
Relatives here have received word that
the news of the death Of Miss Isadore
Rush, the actress who was drowned
while bathing at Coronado Beach three
months ago., has not yet been impaired
to her mother, who is in New York
city.
Her mother is very weak, and it is
feared the shock of knowing of her
daughters death would kill her,
Consequently they guard her from the
news with the utmost care. When she
asked why Miss Rush did not come
home for the holidays, it was ex-
planned that her company is still in the
west and will make long stay there.
Each week a letter, purporting to
come from the actress, is read to her,
it having been Miss Rush's habit to
write her mother weekly letters.

SERIOUS 0FFENSE
INDIAN FUNDS ARE DIVERTED
Claims That He Was rendered Assur-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Sensa-
tional disclosures In relation to the
alleged use of Indian trust funds for
the support of sectarian schools were
made today by Senator Bard of Cali
fornia in statement to the senate
committee on Indian affairs. In addi-
tion to the charge that Roman Catholic
schools have received 9S per cent of the
money expended under contracts made
by the Indian commissioner, the sena-
tor said that he had been approached
by representative of a Catholic asso-
citation with promise of carrying a
certain stated number of districts in
California for him in return for his in
fuence in bringing about continu-
ance Of such favorable contracts.
The statement of Senator Bard Gre
ated a stir in the committee and he
was asked to give a detailed account
of the transaction as we'll as any other
matters relating to the use of trust
funds for sectarian school purposes on
which he was informed. He filed with
the committee a statement covering
the conversation and also list of the
districts the Catholic association pro-
posed to carry for him. He then dis-
cussed the statement of S. M. Brosius,
agent of the Indian Rights association,
and also quoted from a circular issued
by M. K. Shiffen, secretary of the as
sociation, charging that the discrim-
ination in favor of Roman Catholics
was by direction of the president
Senator Bard said that he attached
great Importance to the act of congress
of June Z, 1897, which declared that it
was 'the settled policy of the govern
ment to hereafter make no appropria-
tion whatever for education in any sec
tartan school," The senator stated that
he had been informed that there was
no record at the interior department
Of authority for the diversion of these
trust funds to the support of Catholic
missions, but he had the statement that
1t was done on an oral order, which
agents of the Indian Rights association
allege to have been issued by the pres
ident.
The committee took the statement Sc
riously and 1t was the sentiment that at
the next meeting an amendment would
be offered to the Indian appropriation
bill prohibiting in the future the use of
the Indian trust funds in the manner
charged. Senator Bard said that he
had been informed that very small
percentage of the Indians interested
gave their consent to the application of
their funds to the support of sectarian
schools, and that a large majority Of
the Indians were communicates in the
various Protestant churches located
within the various reservations.

that Gerald Hughes has not forgiven

that his vengeance has a reach much

1t is asserted that Hughes wrath

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Prof. e. l.
Scharf, who is charged by Senator
Bard with having made a proposition
to throw the support of the Catholic
return for an appropriation for the
Catholic Indian mission, said tonight
that until he had an opportunity of
reading Senator Bard's statement he
did not care to enter into a detailed
answer.
IF the senator says that I went to
him representing the Catholic church
or the bureau of Indian Catholic mis-
sions," Prof. Scharf said, cor made any
bargain to turn over twenty congress
sional districts to the Republicans, he
states what is not true. How could
1 turn over any congressional districts
to either party?
II have no connection with the Cath
olic Indian bureau, but for many years
1 have been interested in the work
and have done good deal for it. For
years and years the various denomina-
tional schools were supported by the
government and no question was
raised. Gradually the Protestant
schools dropped out for the reason that
the Catholic schools were economically
superior. Then the A. p. A. cry was
raised against the Catholics and the
schools were cut off.

Constant Collision With

TRAFFIC PARTLY RESUMED

The storm center of the Russian labor
disturbances now seems to be Poland,
where the situation is reported in to-
days dispatches as being increasingly
serious. Minor collisions between the
police and the populace are frequent
in Warsaw, where the number of killed
is estimated to be about 100. The mobs
are pillaging shops and all industrial
concerns are closed. Semi-official re-
ports received in Paris regarding the
general conditions in Russia are de-
scribed as unfavorable.
1t is claimed, however, that there has
been a partial suppression of disorder
in Warsaw, and that traffic has been
restored so far as to permit the ar
rival of some supplies of food. MUIR
derous attacks on individual soldiers,
however, are reported to be more fire.

cluding Moscow and st. Petersburg,
the strike is practically at an end

Gorky, the author and reform leader,
who is under arrest, is in no danger.
1t is expected that he will be released

Grand Duke Vladimir, in the course
of an interview with the Associated

Russia would soon be given meas
ure of representative government, al
though he declared that anything ike
general suffrage was not to be consid-
cred. The committee of members dis
cussing the proposed reforms has pub

showing the people that the plans
outlined in the imperial decree Of De-
cember 26 are being carefully con-

An unconfirmed report is in circula-

tanned that the discharge of grape
from a saluting cannon during the
ceremony of the blessing of the waters
of the Neva on January 10, which i'm
periled the lives of the emperor and
