AGENT NIXON SUED.
Indian Brings Suit 10 Test Legality Of
Sale Of Hcirsllip Lands.

John w. Martin. an educated Indian
heir of his father, John Martin. has
brought suit against John ]. McKoin,
the superintendent in charge of the
Umatilla agency, to test the legality
Of a rule established by commission
er of indian affairs regarding the dis
position OF the proceeds OF the sale
OF heirship lands. The rule provides
that such proceeds shall be paid to
the heir in monthly payments of s10
each upon authority of the agent only.
and In case OF larger amounts II must
be upon special authority OF the COM
missioner OF indian affairs. Martin
contends that under the law providing
for the sale of heirship lands the
secretary has no authority to make
rules governing the disposition of the
proceeds of the sale after the land
has once been sold, and that the au-
thority OF the secretary ends when
ever he approves a deed. The SUI
perintendent Is acting entirely under
instructions given him by the depart
ment. and the action is brought for
the purpose of determining the auth
ority of the Indian department to
make such a rule. The determination
of this suit Is of considerable import
ance to many of the Indians who are
desirous of selling their inherited
lands,

Portland. Sept l6.-Driven almost
to despair by the conduct of his wife
and 15-year-old girl, who nightly fire.
quent the dance hall at Twenty-sev-
enth and Thurman streets, John Mink
applied to the police last night to as
sist him in rescuing his daughter from
what he believes is ruin. With tears
I'm his eyes Mink told Sergeant Baty
that he could do nothing with his
daughter because she was protected
by her mother.
Mink told the police last night that
he had gone to the dance hall and
was not allowed to see his daughter.
He said that the crowd of ruffians
hanging around the place had threat
ened him with harm II he did not
leave.
Go with this man 90 the dance
hall" was the order given Patrolman
Thorpe by Sergeant Baty, and force
that girl to accompany him home. Pay
no attention whatever TO the mother.
II you have trouble let me know, and
we will call in every man from the
Upshur station detail and IL necessary
raid the place and clean 1t out for one
night, anyhow"
So debuaching has grown the in
fluences of three dance halls near the
entrance to the fair grounds that
Chief of Police Grltzmacher has de-
termined to ask Mayor Lane to allow
him to use summary measures in sup
pressing them. As no liquor is sold
on the premises, although all are not
far from groggeries and one. is across
the street from a saloon, the regular
dance hall license of $40 night can
not be collected. For this reason the
authorities will have to adopt sum
mary measures IL the places are to be
put out of business.
II have made a full report to Chief
GritZmacher of what occurred last
night" said Acting Captain Slower.
He is as eager to have something
done as l am. Men even carry liquor
to these dance halls in bottles and give
1t to girls.
Round dances comprise the nightly
program. have referred to them as
hugging matches set to music, but they
are really worse than that. Hulu-hulu,
tandem, would better describe the per-
formances seen there. the air al

New York, Sept. 16.-The Ramsay
Gould Wabash controversy was the
subject of discussion on Wall street
this morning One closely connected
with Ramsay says he was requested
by large stockholders to try to secure
control of the road. Rumors are cur
rent today that Rockefeller interests
are behind the attempt. II was Rock
efeller's solicitation that made RAM
say president of the Wabash.
Should the Goulds and Rockefellers
lock horns 1t will have far-reachlng
effects on the railroad and financial
world. The fight may make difficult
the financing of the new Western Pa
cific from Denver to san Francisco.
Some say Pennsylvania interests are
backing Ramsay.

Miss Cornelia Marvin. secretary Of
the state library commission, is here
today. having come for the purpose of
consulting with County Superintendent
Welles in regard to the school libra
ries OF this county.
Under a law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. it is made OBJ
ligatory upon county courts to levy q,
tax at the January terms of court suf
ficient 10 raise at least 10 cents for
each child that is enumerated in the
county. This money Is then to be
divided among the different districts
according to their size, and use for
the purchase of books for school IL
braries. This tax is required to be
levied each year, and as a result every
school in the county will be provided
with n library, and there will be
money for additions each year.
The total amount of the tax for
Umatilla county this coming year will
be $642.10. according to Superinten-
dent welles. and s17S.s0 of this will
be for the Pendleton district Under
the provisions OF the-iaw the fnsney
derived from the tax must be expend-
ed each year during the month OF
, July The purchases are made by
the directors of the different districts
assisted by the county superintend-
ent. The purchases will be made from
list supplied by the state comniis-
sion. and the books will be shipped
to the county superintendents, and
by them divided among the various
districts of the county.
AS the entire work is to be done
through the state commission acting
through the secretary, Miss Marvin
has considerable of a task before her.
and is now travelling over the state
consulting with the various county su-
perintendents so as to have the work
understood by them when the time
comes for the purchasing of the books
Miss Marvin is the only member OF
the commission that is regularly en-
ployed. and she devotes all of her time
to the work, receiving a salary Of
$1,000 per year. The other members

MATCHMAKING
ACTION PUT OFF
PLANS ARE NOT YET
FULLY WORKED OUT.
Conclusive Action Postponed Until
Next Wedncsday-Some Objections
Have Been Raised Which Must BE
Deferred to, Though They VIII Not
Defeat the Project-Proposition is
Made by Portland Company to Pave
Main and Court Streets With BIZ
tuIithic, at se.25 Per Square Yard.

Once more the matter of ordering
the macadamizing of Alta street has
been postponed, though the same will
doubtless be done at the regular meet
ing of the council next Wednesday,
At the adjourned session OF the
council held yesterday afternoon, reso-
lutions were presented asking for the
Improvement of Alta street from Cot
tonwood to Court. and from Main to
Chestnut. However. the subject of
parking had not been fully worked out
by the committee, and as n result the
two resolutions were deferred to the
committee with orders to report next
Wednesday
The original plans were to macad-
ami2e a strip 3S feet wide in the CEN
ter of the street. and then to leave
four-fOot park on each side. This
park was to be banked by a plank on
the outer edge, and the improvement
of the park left entirely to the resi-
dents. However. 1t was found that
there would be objection to this plan
on East Alta street, and also on west
Alta between Main and Garden streets,
as the same would interfere with the
business of the shops along the street.
A proposition was also made to the
council yesterday by a. NJ. Shannon
OF the Warren Construction company,
Of Portland. 1t was to improve Main
and Court streets with bitulithic
pavement, which he stated could be
done for the price of s2.25 per square
yard, which he stated would be guar
anteed to last for 10 years. No action
was taken on the proposition by the
council.
