MICHELET SAYS
WORST IS OYER Y
White Earth Agent Reports on
Results Of Mixed Blood
Land Sales.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, July 21.-Simon Niche
let, Indian agent at White Earth, has
submitted the following report on the
conditions at that reservation as the
result Of the passage of the act giving
mixed blood Indians full possession Of
their allotments: ii
ssMany mixed bloods are taking ad-
vantage of the act of June 21, giving
them allotments in fee simple and per-
mitting them to sell or mortgage the
same. - - -'-~~ -
''While it is true that a certain ele-
ment is squandering the proceeds de-
rived and using the, same for intoxi-
eating liquors, this is, however, apph-
cable to only a small part of those ell
titled to take advantage of the recent
act. From investigation, no case has
come to my notice where they were
first gotten drunk for the purpose of
taking their land or securing mort
cages on the sale, but after they had
sold or nortgaged their land they have
squandered the proceeds for drink,
etc.
'sAll of the Indians residing on the
White Earth Indian reservation are al
loted Indians, and under the Hef de-
c1slon, no prosecutions will. lie for the
sale Of liquor to them. 49,. ~. =
Prior to receiving your telegram, I
had taken steps to procure information
showing the character, consideration
and number of transfers made, in order
that / might look into each case As
soon as the information can be COM
pleted I will lay the matter before
the United States attorney for such ac-
tion as he deems proper. but as it now
appears, there is no remedy except by
advising and securing consent of the
Indian grantors to bring actions to
have sales OF, mortgages set aside in
such cases where undue influence or
fraud is used in closing transactions -
"The conditions in towns adjoining
reservations where Indians 90 to sell
on cucumber their lands are improving Q
as the spendthrift element has already
taken advantage Of the act, and the
ones who have held back and not en-
numbered their lands will be more pru.
dent in using the proceeds.
,,"it has been reported that some full
blo99ded Indians, holding themselves out
to be mixed bloods, have given deeds
to their allotments. I am Investigating
this, and if I find it to be true, shall
intercede and prevent them from tax.

RAILROAD MEN TO
QUIZ COMMITTEE
Traffic Officials Prepare Ques-
tions Relating to the New
Rate Law. ....~.<..-:
Journal Special Service.


Chicago, July 21.-After several days
Of almost continuous conference, the
traffic officials Of the western roads
have decided upon the list Of questions
relative to the Interpretation Of the
NIT to the committee Of railroad attor-
;neys recently appointed, for rulings.
While the questions propounded have
not been given to the public, it is un-
derstood: that they cover vast portion
of the new statute. - *:.
As soon as the legal committee re-
ceives the list Of questions propound-
ed by the traffic men, meeting will
be held and opinions on each point
submitted. -1.:,e ..a.-.. .-' - ss -"
It is said the committee will. be care
full to see that it's interpretation Of
the law is narrow enough to keep the
traffic men clear of the clutches of the
courts. z. as., :
=. Find Fault with Law. -y
Many traffic officials find serious
new law and declare that it is imprac.
ticable. Most Of them do not believe
that literal emf forcement of the sec
tion Of thessstatute providing for the
[ publication Of tariffs is possible, espe
ciallY that clause which refersst tt
! keeping two copies of all of the tariffs
posted in public place in each sta
| tion, depot or office where freight o.
passengers are received for transpor
tation. r&t, 49,. "a. ...;.S..,
But, while the traffic men believe
that this section Of the law is imprac
ticable, they point to the fact that the
law gives the interstate commerce com
mission discretionary power insenfor
cling the rules relative to the issuance
of tariffs, and they believe that thil
section viii be So modified as to re
move all Of the objections. s3
| Difference Of Opinion. II
f.: While some traffic men believe tina,
the section Of the law requiring thir
tY-day notice Of a change in rates will
put hardship upon the roads, Others
think that this is one Of the best fea
lures Of the. statute. They declare tina
it will put an end to so-called Enid
nightO tariffs and will add to the sta
bilitY Of rates. ...,. .f.- ..... ~ +.
I 81 favored requiring sixty days. no
ticei for a change in rates. said on
official in discussing the law today, an,
while thirty days is given, I believ
l that it is one of the best clauses O.
the new law. It is one that will Ger
tainly benefit the shipper and will pu
an end to a great deal of trouble owe
rates which has been of little benefl
to any shipper and has cut the profit
