corraled at its gathering ON Tuesday
night at the Palace, and while things
hung rather heavily until after thea

The first celebrity to appear was
Bliss Carmen, he who sells more verse
than any ether man 1 know-tall with
a full shock of brown hair carefully
caressed, beneath which pair of pen
etrating eyes search for your in
nermost secrets through pair of
helpful glasses. His manner is cordial,
easy and interested, though tinged
somewhat with suggestion OF mod
esty. Strange in a poet? Rather!
But this Bliss Carmen is no make-be-
lieve chap. He's honestly clever. Be
sides, he knows a good thing when he
sees 1.-THE likes San Francisco, and
isn't afraid to say so, even if he is a
Bostonese.
Then there was Lawrence d'orsay.
Now, there's charming chap, and no
mistake. He came in chaperoned by
Frank Powers, who, had a train been
available, would probably have run
MIN down TO Carmel-by-the but
there wasn't, so the Sequoia had the
pleasure of meeting him.
With most agreeable air the 'Flarl"
chatted with the men and women pre-
sented to him, proclaiming himself

SHOULD PAY OUT
THEIR OWN MONEY
President Gives Views on
Indian Finances.

In a letter to the Secretary of the
Interior yesterday President Roosevelt
strongly recommended the passage of
the Lacey bill providing that the school
annuities for the Indians be given out
right to them, just as their lands are
so that each one individually would be
left free to use mis- money on his own
Initiative
This policy has been strongly advo-
ated by Francis E. Leupp, Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs. Mr.. Leupp's
idea is that in this way the Indians will
feel a sense of responsibility, and will
not depend so much on the action OF
their tribes.
If the Lacey measure is enacted into
a law each Indian can use his own
money. instead of petitioning the Sec
retary of the Interior to use il for him.
The passage of the bill would relieve
the Secretary Of the Interior of many
pleas. of various denominational schools
that the Indian school funds be di-
verted through their channels.
1t would also tend to keep down po-
litical scandals. as, for instance, the
charge made by Senator Bard against
Dr. Scbarf to the effect that Dr. Scharf
had offered him the Catholic support
of California in exchange for Indian
funds for Catholic schools.

Watson was cheerful to the last. At
the jail he said farewell to all the
guards and attendants whom he has
known during the last twenty months
of imprisonment there, and in doing so
he wore tha same CHEEKY smile with
which he has greeted them since he
made the prison his home. In the car
riage which conveyed him from the jail
to the station he conversed lightly with
James II. Harris, warden OF the Jail,
and his guard.
He arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio
station more than an hour before the
train left Many idlers We're ahead OF
him. and his progress from the carriage
TO the private office provided for ms
accommodation was marked by an
eager, crowding, curious mob. who only
came TO a standstin when tie door
was slammed in their faces.
Farewell to Associates.

ference with his lawyer. Then he eX-
pressed a wish to say good-by 70 some

pioves of the railroad were admitted
to the private room, and there Watson
held A reception He was handicapped
in shaking hands. but he said his fare

emily little affected by the circum-
stances. Not all of those who once

1t was the annual banquet of the

of Congress, shaking from their vhiten-

boys again as they sat about the tables
in the Arlington banquet room last
night beneath the light of a multitude
OF candles softened into harmony by
the red and white of thousands Of
flowers.

The appearance of Speaker Cannon,
occasfoned a round of hand-ciapping,
with repeated yells as to his entire

ness for any old thing that might come
along. And then the entire crowd broke
forth with:

It was sung on rather a nigh key. the
bass voices got pretty rauCous at times
and the tenors fell over themselves in
ambitious attempts to scale hitherto un-

it. as he made his way around the hol-

took a seat beside Judge Powers, of

President Has Signed
Nerv Corporation Lam
Measure Putting an End to Wildcat Concerns
in ForCe-Minimum Fee Must Now
Be twenty-five Dollars.

President Roosevelt signed the Dis
trict incorporation bill yesterday after
noon and it is now law.
In the future all charters of incor-
poration that are filed must conform
to this law.
Last Monday in a special message to
Congress, President Roosevelt urged
that some legislation be enacted to pre-
vent the incorporation of concerns that
represent no actual investment, and
that may be used by unscrupulous per
sons to defraud the public into invest
ing in their stock. President Roosevelt
pointed out that in the past two years
2.21l companies had been incorporated
under the District code. with a total
authorized capital of about four billion
dollars. The same persons were fire.
quently trustees of various concerns.
The House had already passed bill
on this subject, and the Senate, after
the Presidents message, lost TO time
in passing this bill.
At the Office of the Recorder of Deeds
charters were held up pending the sign
ing of the new incorporation bill The
time of their filing was marked on them.
was not known exactly when the Presi-
dent would sign the new bill. All char
tiers presented for filing before the Presi-
dent signed the bill yesterday afternoon

frauded the District of nearly 5000.
The train. due at 80 from Baltimore.
was half an hour late. and the curious
did not anticipate that Watson would
be taken from the station to the ysrd
llntff the train arrived.
But the Pullman ear t.Cerigo" stood
waiting on the track outside. and fifteen
minutes before train time the door Of
the Pullman agents office in the station
opened and almost unobserved. Watson,
making no attempt to hide the hand
cuff which bound MS wrist, was hurried
through the waiting room, out Of the
door and through the gateway. The
gate changed shut behind him and the
men and women who tried to follow had
to content themselves with peerfng
through the picket fence. Watson 1g-
ure was quickly lost in the gathering
iarkness nd from that time until the
train pulled out he was shut from view.
