GENEROUS TO INDIANS.

''It is said that Canada does better for its Ind
iens than the United States does for ours" said
Mrs. Amelia s. Quinton at yesterdays meeting OF
the New-York City Indian Association at the Col
iegiate Church. 5th-ave. and 4Sth-st.
We'll there are two opinions as TO that Canada
has had no such pressure or her lands our gov
eminent. When remember that the United
States expended S4,e0O.0OO this last year for the
benefit of the Indians can't exactly accuse it
of parsirony. Canada's wheat lands in the North
west have only recently begun 10 be valuable.
When recall the tremendous pressure that has
been brought 10 bear government not only
by foreign immigration but by our own settlers
from the Eastern States. think 1t has done
pretty well.
when Canada begins to experience the same
pressure and to cope with the same difficulties: It
will be time to speak of her magnauimity to her
Indian population"
The organization will resume after the holidays
the parior meetings which were so successful last
year.

SUES NORTON FOR $4,000.
Russell Sage's Former CLcrk Says
He Reorganised Road.

Ezekiel c. M. Rand, who was Russeii sases
confidential clerk until year and haif ago. 10
the plaintiff in an action on trial before Justice
Greenbaum and jury in the Supreme Court. In
which he seeks to recover from ex-Vice-Presi-
dent Levi p Morton $1,000 for services which
he says he rendered in the reorganization or the
Shore Line Railway of Canada, in 1899. Robert
Gibson appeared for Rand and Solomon han
ford for Governor Morton.
According to Rand's testimony, the Shore Line
was originally known as the Grand Southern
Railway, and ran from a point opposite St
John, N B., TO st. Stephens, La Croix Rail-
way. 1t had been in difficulties, and a reorgan-
ization was carried out. under which Russell
Sage acquired 1913 900 of bonds in the company,
while Morton, Bliss & Co. got S213 600 of them,
the total amount of bonds being SS00,O0G. The
committee on reorganization comprised Russell
Sage; r. j. Cross of Morton Bliss ~ Co, ana
Giles e. Taintor.
This reorganization was carried out in 1888.
after the line had been sold in foreclosure pro-
ceedngs. The road subsequently did not pay
and Mr.. Cross having withdrawn from the conf
mittee, Governor Morton took over the bonds
held by his firm. Mr.. Sage advanced more than
$500 600, without security, to keep the road in
operation Several conferences took place be-
tween him and Mr.. Sage, and finally. Rand says,
he suggested another reorganization of the COM
pany
A bridge had been washed away, necessitating
a large expenditure and other expenses had to
be met and Rand says he suggested to Mr..
Morton that a large amount of money would be
required to put the railway in proper condition
He offered to take charge OF the new orSanl-
cation for q sum of So 900 which, he alleges, Mr..
Morton agreed to give him. He says he carried
ont the scheme, but that Mr.. morton refused 10
pay him the 5000.
Mr.. Morton's defence is that any services
rendered by Rand were performed under the
included in his salary of $500 month. Mr..
Hanford said that Mr.. Morton would take the
stand on the conclusion of the plaintiffs case.
He said it not the intention or the defence
to call Mr.. Sage as a witness.
