CAN'T FILE On
TREATY LANDS
Reserved For Tribe
And Not Open
TO Entry

Land on the Nex Perce Indian res
ervation set aside for the bsnent Of thu
tribe at the time Of making the treaty
IN 1894 II not subject to entry whether
It y considered valuable for its timber
or not. n the gist Of . decision jnst
received It the local land Office IN an
swer to m application made by John
4. Irwin for = homestead on some OF
the land thus ret aside.
At the time the treaty was made
there was an opinion prevailing that
certain lands that were set aside for
the use Of the tribe were % desisnated
because they were valuable for their
timber. and since II u found that some
Of these lands are not timbered lands
many homestead applications have
been filed; but all these have been
turned down by the department. The
commissioner in his letter makes It
clear that these lands were never sur
rendered BY the tribe and that the gov
ernment has no authority over them
whatever. They Were specially re-
served and are, not subject to entry.
What may become OF them at the
end Of the 26-year period 10 only a
matter Of conjecture. At that time the
Indians can probably sell them ana
give title or they may be another
treaty dispose Of them to the govern
nient and they may be subject to
homestead. but at present they are not
on the market.

GOMPERS IN The CHAIR
FEDERATION OF Ia
RoR HOLDS OPENING sES-
SION IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, Nov. 13.-The twenty
sixth annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor opened In
MINNEAPOLIS with President Samual
Gompers in the chair and 800 dele
gates in attendance. Through the
opening session there was little to In
dicate that questions of unusual I'M
portance In their bearing on the eco
nomic and political conditions of the
country were to come up for discus.
sion and settlement.
On the platform were President
Gompers, Secretary Morrison. Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota, w. H.
Williams, state labor commissioner;
Alderman A. E. Merrill, acting mayor
of Minneapolis; ]. H. McNally OF the
trades and labor assembly and ]. N.
Bell and A. Gee, the delegates OF the
British trades union congress. In the
body of the hall the delegates were
seated at the sides Of seven long ta-
bles, we'll stocked with stationery.
About twenty women delegates are In
dtteuddlCe.
At the opening OF the meeting a
band of 10 pieces, picked from the
local Musicians union, played the Star
Spangled Banner" President Comp
ers was the first to rise and the rest
OF the convention followed his exam
pie. AS the band swung into the Sec
ond measure of the national anthem
Rev. G. p. Magill, pastor OF the OIL
yer Presbyterian church, made the
opening prayer and Alderman A. E.
Merrill welcomed the federation In be-
half of the city. President Gompers
was responding to the address when
an outburst of cheering gave notice
that Goyerno Johnson had entered
the hall President Gompers at once
resigned the floor to the governor,
saying that while 1t would be pre-
sumption to introduce a man OF the
national standing Of Governor John
son he considered 1t an honor to pre-
sent him. Governor Johnson said that
he not only welcomed the federation
but wished it Godspeed in its work
for the uplifting Of the labor men OF
the United States.

ADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA TUESDAY NOVEMBER IL |!
PiTTSBuRG TERRoRi7ED.
Three Murders and Several sRohheries
One Days Record.

Pittsburg, Nov. 13.-Pittsburg ter
rorized and likened to mining camp
or frontier town is the tone Of all
the morning issues of the papers. With
three murders, a number ofIobberios
on the highways, accompanied by vio-
lence and an attempt at crucitiX1on in
twenty four hours, added to the large
number that have occurred during the
past two weeks, there has been such
a public demand for extra police that
Mayor Guthrie and Director of Public
Safety Ridgway have put on a number
of extra police without legal lsovision
for their compensation, trusting to the
effect of public clamor upon the Sc
lect and common councils for favora-
BILE action upon this move.
The crucifixion case was brought to
light by the screams of woman In
a tenement en- Forbes street, near the
Jones & Laughlin steel mills Neigh
bors rushed IN and found Mrs Jean
Mitchell, nineteen years old, in the
kitchen, huddled in a kneeling posi-
ton on the floor with both hands nail
ed to the draining board Of the sink
with the blood running down her
arms.
The woman was unconscious and
was taken to hospital. When she
recovered she merely said that when
she entered her fiat something struck
her On the back of the head and she
felt herself drawn toward the sink,
her hand pressed down against the
board and two nails driven in.

EMERGENCY CIRCULATION.
Bankers Would Name Commission e
Control Matter.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Committees
representing the American Bankers
association and the New York cham
ber OF congress met in this city dur
ing the day to endeavor to form
measure for the consideration of con-
gress looking to the giving OF au-
thority to banks to issue emergency
circulation in cases of financial strin-
gency. The plan outlined by the
American bankers at their conven-
ton In st. Louis and that subsequent
ly presented by the legislative COM
mittee Of the New York chamber OF
commerce are not greatly different In
character and It Is believed that they
can be harmonized to an extent that
a powerful recommendation for rem
edial banking legislation can be made
to congress at the approaching ses-
sion.
These plans provide In a general
way for the appointment by the presi,
dent. with the approval Of the senate
OF commission OF seven members,
Of which the comptroller Of the cur
rency shall be one. This commission
would have the same control over the
banking laws as Is exercised by the
interstate commerce commission over
transportation laws. 1t would be non-
partisan. two OF the members being
appointed for four years. two for eight
and two for twelve years. and after
that all members for twelve years. but
without being permitted to succeed
themselves The commission would
be charged with the duty OF consid-
ering all applications Of banks for
emergency circulation and would de-
eide the necessity, the percentage OF
circulation compared with capital
stock to be allowed in order to meet
the emergency, and when the circula
tion should be called In. Safeguard
ing against imitation would be one of
the commissions chief duties in con.
nsctiou with such circulation.

IMMIGRANTS BOUND FOR NORTH.
WEST MEET DISASTER AT
WOODviLLE, IND.
SIX COACHES REDUCED 70 ASHES
BODIES OF THE VICTIMS GRE
MATED IN FIRE FOLLOWING
THE COLLISION.

Valparaiso, Ind, Nov. 13.-Fifty out
of 167 immigrants on Baltimore and
Ohio train which collided headon with
q freight train at Woodville, ten miles
north of here are missing and 1t is
believed their bodies were consumed
by the fire which destroyed six coach
es Of the immigrant train.
The immigrant train was bound for
Chicago. The accident was caused
by the freight crew failing to observe
signals on the first section of the inn
migrant train that another section
was following. The immigrant train
caught fire and was entirely consum-
ed. There was 167 passengers on
board the train and 1T of the party
have been accounted for. All the in
jured were taken to the Mercy hos
pital at Chicago on special train
after their injuries had been attend
ed to by a corps of physicians. All
the train crew on both trains escaped
except the fireman on the immigrant
train, who was killed. Both engines
were demolished. A wrecking crew
from Chicago is now at the scene or
the accident, clearing away the wreck
age The immigrants consisted or
Russian Jews, Servians and Poles and
were en- route, by way of Chicago, to
the Northwest
The immigrant train was the second
section Of the regular express and the
first section did not carry any signal
to indicate that the second section
was following. The freight train pull
ed out on the main track and met the
immigrant train on curve. Eng1-
neers and firemen saved themselves
by jumping, though the engineer on
the passenger was badly scalded by
escaping steam. The passengers we're
asleep when the accident occurred
and many were killed while they
slept. The scenes that followed were
heartrending, for the cars took fire
at once and many were caught in the
wreckage and were unable to release
themselves before the flames reached
them and were consumed. Cries OF
the dying filled the air and those who
were not badly hurt tried to save 9TH
ers, but they were not very success
full as the flames drove them back.

ERIE FiREMEN PRACTICALLY OF
ONE MIND ON QUESTION OF
GOING ON STRIKE.
SIXTEEN HUNDRED Men INVOLVED
FURTHER EFFORTS TO BE MADE
TO GET TOGETHER BEFORE
ROAD IS TIED UP.

New York, Nov. 13-Grand Master
Hanrahan Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen said that the poll
Of Erie flremen has resulted In an
almost unanimous vote In favor of a
strike. SO far as the returns have
been received.
"On the New York division between
Jersey City and Port Jervis the man
have voted absolutely unanimously to
strlke," said Mr.. Hanrahan. "The
poll of the entire road Is not complete,
but the result thus far shows the
state OF the mems minds. l shall do
all l can for settlement before order
ing a strike, but there Is no doubt of
the mems temper"
There are 1000 flremen on the
Erie's various lines. The question at
issue In all the cases Is practically the
same and the movement which has
been started by the employees of these
roads is said to be part of campaign
which Is to be waged on all the great
railway systems of the country.

DISCUSSES INSURANCE LAWS,
Committee nf Fifteen in Session at
Chicago.


Chicago, Nov. 13.-The committee
of fifteen appointed at the meeting Of
insurance commissioners, governors of
states, attorneys general and insur-
ance attorneys held in this city last
February to formulate plans for the
regulation of insurance In the Central
and Western states met here during
the day. With them were officers of
the American life convention, which
met at Chattanooga, Sept. %.
Unofticially it Is stated that the
committee, in relation to standard
forms of policies and standard provi-
siOns for policies, will recommend
standardization, although the Ameri.
can life convention adopted a resolu-
tion opposing 1t. It is expected that
the report will favor limiting invest
ments of insurance companies to
bonds Of the United States or Of any
county, city, town or duly organized
school district and to loans upon i'm
proved unincumbered real estate to
an extent not exceeding 80 per cent.
of the value of the property The re-
port is also expected to favor invest
ments In buildings for home offi.e pur-
poses and in well secured promissory
notes.
II Is planned that the report Of the
committee shall be followed by the
introduction of laws regulating in
surance companies which will take
the place of the Ames bill which was
dropped some time ago.

PRICES ARE TOO HIGH.
Government Quits Buying Silver for
the Present.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The treasury
department during the day received
ernment at 72 cents per fine ounce.
These offers were rejected and Sec
retary Shaw stated subsequently that
no more silver would be bought at
present high prices. The government
has Oh hand, he said, silver enough
to keep the mints in operation for
some time to come and he regards
the present prices as too high to war
rant the government in making any
more purchases at those figures.
