PRESIDENT URGES ACTION
IN AID OF ALASKAN NATIVES
Indians Unable to Meet Changed Com
ditions Resulting From thrush
of White Men
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-In trans
mitting to the senate today a report
by Lieutenant G. T. Emmons of the
navy on the condition of the natives
of Alaska, the president sent mes.
sage saying:
Lieutenant Emmons had for many
years peculiar facilities for ascertain
ing the facts about the natives of
Alaska and has recently concluded an
investigation made on the ground by
my special direction. 1 very earnest
ly ask the attention of the congress to
the facts set forth in this report as to
the needs of the native people Of
Alaska. 1t seems to me that our
honor as nation is involved in seeing
that these needs are met. l earnestly
hope that legislation along the general
lines advocated by Lieutenant EN-
mons can be enacted"
In his report Lieutenant Emmons
says that the inrush of white men in
Alaska has caused a complete change
of conditions; that the game is rapidly
being killed off and the food supply of
the Indians rapidly exhausted; that
they are like grown up children and
incapable of taking care of themselves
in the new conditions, and that it will
be necessary to do something sub
stantial for them at an early day to
prevent actual suffering.

STATEHOOD BILL

TO INDIAN TERRITORY
Urges Amendment Providing That All

muneratlon Of SeaIers
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Consid-
GRAFTON of the statehood bill was con-
tinued in the senate today and Mr..
Stone of Missouri spoke for two hours
in opposition to it. The bill for the
remuneration of American fur sealers
who suffered losses because of their
suppression also was debated at some
length, but no action was taken on It,.
Mr.. Dolliver offered a substitute re-
ferring the claims to the court of
claims and spoke in opposition to the
original measure. Mr.. Dolliver said
that it was proposed to pay men not
only for their losses but for not en-
tering upon wholesale violation Of
the law. The proposition was, he
said. without precedent.
Mr.. Stone addressed himself es-
pecially to the landed interests of the
Indians in the Indian territory He
proposed an amendment providing
that all allotted lands shall be subject
to taxation. He said that If all the
Indian lands are to be relieved of
taxation for twenty-one years as pro-
posed the state would be seriously EN-.
barrassed. Unless the state was to
be given the means of self support,
Mr.. Stone contended, it should be kept
in the state of vassalage it is now in.
He said the bill as it stands confers 'on
the Indians of the Indian territory the
,,;r- oc o;4
of the duties of citizenship.
Mr.. Bailey took the position that
congress has no right to impose con-
ditions affecting the taxation of the
people of any state.
The senate at 1852 p. m. went into
executive session and five minutes
later adjourned.

JOHN MITCHELL
CALLED TRAITOR
WYOMING DELEGATE ACCUSES
MINERS PRESIDENT
Charge Is Made That He Sold Out the
Strikers and Entered Into a
Conspiracy With the
Owners
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 19.-In
the convention of the United Mine
Workers of America, John, Mitchell,
president, was accused by Delegate
Robert Randall of Wyoming, of having
sold out the Colorado striking miners
to the operators, of having been a
traitor to the miners organization and
of having entered into conspiracy
with the mine owners, d. M. Parry
and Governor Peabodys peace to ruin
the Colorado miners and lose to them
the recent strike.
President Mitchell replying, gave
reasons why the national miners or
ganization had withdrawn it's support
from the Colorado strikers.
Randall had said that President
Howell of the district asked $500, 900
for the strike, offering to win or lose
it on that amount. Mitchell, referring
to this, said:
Let me be plain on this. Howell did
not ask for the money. If he had he
would not have got it, 1 would not
trust him with it,"
He charged President William H.
Howell with irregularities and former
national board member Gehr with be-
ing in collusion with stock brokers.
He told how he forced Gehr to resign
his office because of it.
Gehr, he said, admitted that he was
to get $1,000 for advance information
the close of the strike.
He also told of Howell leaving Gehr
in charge of the strike for a time last
year, and said that in two weeks Gehr
drew $4,000 of the organizations
for the strike.
Howell" declared Mr.. Mitchell, "is
not safe witness against anybody"

prits to escape before the responsibility
is determined.
Shot Fired by Design
Evidences of design are so apparent
that the statement attributlng the
presence of a loaded shell to previous
target practice evoked smiles in many
quarters.
It is pointed out as being highly inn
probable that the gun had not been
cleaned for two days. and It is impos-
sible that a second cartridge could have
been inserted for saluting purposes be-
hind the first, and IL Is certainly a
startling coincidence that the gun con-
tanning this cartridge should have been
trained directly upon the imperial
chapel.
Whatever may be the solution, IL is
a strange fact that the shot came
from the bourse Esplanade, where was
stationed the First Horse Artillery Of
the Guard, the premier artillery or
ganization of the empire and one Of
the most noted regiments in the whole
Russian service.
The roster of this organization Of
aristocratic traditions has included
grand dukes, princes and some Of the
most illustrious names in Russia.
Charge Lacked Strength
Lieutenant General Grippenburg
was formerly an officer of the regi-
ment and Grand Duke sergius Mi
chaelovltch, the chief artillery inspec-
tor of the Russian army, whose duty
it is to conduct the investigation, was
himself formerly colonel of the regi-
ment.
The two investigations are proceed
ing Independently and both are
guarded with the utmost secrecy.
Military experts say Indications
point to charge consisting of grape
having been inserted surreptitiously
i'm saluting cartridge. If this was
the case, probably only one man was
involved.
Certainly if there was an extensive.
deep laid plot, or if an officer was in
volved it was badly executed. 1t is
DTODdDiS
that an expert artilleryman should
have prepared a weak, scattering
charge which could hardly carry
across the Neva.
At the same time an indication of
design is the fact that the gun was
laid directly against the imperial pa
vilion.
Had the gun contained service
charge or regular shell the pavilion
must infallibly have been destroyed.
ArtilIerists Are Careless
1t is clear, however, that the saluting
was done most recklessly, as the
flashes of the blank shots from ST.
Peter and st. Paul fortresses showed
that the guns were directed straight |
at the winter palace which stands on
what may be termed the mainland of
the city of st. Petersburg, and faces |
the Great Neva river.
Directly opposite the palace is a
point of land which marks the juno |
tion of the Great Neva with the Little
Neva. On this point is the bourse,
the custom house and the other public
The point is joined to the mainland
near the winter palace by the palace
bridge. On an island on the other
side of the point and commanding the |
winter palace is the fortress of st. |
Peter and st. Paul.
