HONEY FoE 1HD1AN EDUCATION
Trust F""'ls of the Reds May he Granted
I" Schools Conducted by
Churches.

Washington, Feb. G. = President
Roosevelt has sent a letter to Secretary
Hitchcock on the subject of authority
for granting contracts for the educa.
ton of Indians in denominational
schools. The president says that mas
much as the legal authority exists to
grant the request of the Indians, I'M
guestionably they are entitled by moral
right to have their money used to
educate their children at the schools
they choose.
The president directs that the interi-
or department continue thepractice un-
less congress directs otherwise or the
courts hold that the decision of the de.
partment of justice TO this effect is
wrong. The money referred to is the
interest on the trust funds owned by
the Indians. which so far has only been
made available by two churches. No
congressional appropriations can be used
for sectarian education.

VIII Be Lively Contest.

Indianapolis, Ind. May 22.-On the eve of the election of officers of the Switchmens' Union of North America it appears that there will be lively contest for the office of grand master. Opposing the present incumbent, F. T. Hawley, who is a candidate for re- election, is John T. McMillan, Mayor of Ashtabula, O.
 In their efforts to eliminate McMil- Ian from the contest the supporters of Hawley declare that the new constitu- tion, which becomes effective July l, and which provides that only active switchmen may be elected to the grand lodge offices, will prevent the former from being considered as candidate The supporters of McMillan, however, declare their candidate will remain in the race by reason of the fact that the election takes place before the new constitution becomes effective.
