Many Moving Upon the Reservation to

Bonesteel S. d., May 2.-The final
rush to the Rosebud reservation-the
rush that brings citizens into South
Dakota who will remain permanently
has been in full swing the past few
days.
BY virtue of the extension which was
granted in February, President Roose-
Welt made it possible for the claimants
to wait until the early part of May be-

scarcely a claimholder who has not all

The Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road has been running heavy trains
into Bonesteel from Norfolk, Neb., for
several days, all of them crowded to
the platforms with passengers who
have come to stay. And besides, the
railroad passengers. hundreds have ar

Legislative Investigation Com

moval of Supreme Judge
DeFRAuDED UNITED STATES
His Alleged Collision With Beavers in
tho Postal Frauds Given as Alleged
Ground for Action - Guilty Of Corr
rupt Praotiee-Not Impeachabie-
Miscellaneous News.

Albany, N. Y, May 2.--The legisla-
tive Judiciary committee last night
unanimously recommended that JUS
tice Warren B. Hooker, of the supreme
of his connection with the postal
frauds.
The committee finds that Judge
Hookers acts do not constitute cause
for Impeachment under the New York
constitution because they were not
committed In the course OF the dis
charge of his official duty, and there
fore cannot be held willful and cor
rupt misconduct in Office. but under
the statutes he may be removed by the
legislature.
The conclusions reached by the COM
mittee and upon which these recon-
mendations are based are In effect:
That Hooker and George w. Beav-
ers both knew that the appointment
Of Frank p. Ball as laborer and clerk
In the Fredonia postoffice defrauded
the United States out Of $2,53207, and
that Hooker Influenced the appoint
ment so that Ball might obtain money
with which to pay note OF $5OA0
upon which Mrs. Hooker was indorser.
That number Of other acts OF
Rockers In conjunction with Beavers
in the matter Of postoffice appoint-
ments resulted In defrauding the Uni-
ted States out of various sums OF mon
ey.
Among the original charges includ-
ed under this heading were:
In the Maurice Hooker case JUS
tice Hooker got Beavers to appoint
Maurice to the Fredonia postoffice a.
salary OF $500, Beavers well know
Ing that such appointment was UNI
necessary"
In the case OF Ora Caldwell, Thomas
o'Nelll, Minerva jeffrey, Henry j.
Pemberton, and George Cooper, all Of
whom were appointed to the Fredonia
postoffice on Jan. II, 1889. at a salary
each Of 5000 per year. the appointments
were unnecessary because four clerks
already employed in the Fredonia post
office were doing all the required work.
Frank p Ball was promoted from
laborer at $500 a year to a clerk at
5000, thus making six clerks drawing
salaries Of $500 and doing no work.
The committee finds that the acts
of Hooker in connection with the pro-
curement of the judgment against the
city OF Dunkirk were corrupt and inn
moral. The original charge on this
specification was that Hooker entered
into a partnership with persons in
Dunkirk, N. Y, for the construction Of
building, part of which was leas-
ed to the United States as a postoffice
at rental Of $3.50; that the lessons,
by arrangement with Beavers. got a
new lease at rental Of $1,000, and a
third lease at rent OF $4,000; that in
the third lease the United States Sc
cured nothing more than In the first
and second leases.
| Accompanying these conclusions and
recommendations are eight findings Of
fact.
The report was received In the as
sembly without debate or opposition,
and its consideration was made a
special order for Thursday.
