TRADE IN WHITE SLAVES.
Report Of Awful Conditions Among
British Columbia Indians.

r III
Vancouver, B. C.-The following is
an extract from report made to the
government regarding the slave trade
among the British Columbia Indians,
the report being signed by G. ].
South, superintendent Of the Chill
dren's Aid society:
AT Cape Nudge there Is family
Of half-breeds, both men and girls
showing very little Of the Indian in
them, and the elder brother, being
very ambitious and as unprincipled as
he is ambitious, gave potlach, spend
ing some thousands Of dollars, and it
is reported to me that the principal
portion Of his money has been made
by the sale of girls, and from this
source he has become powerful and
rich.
! Girls with white skins, thick
brown hair braided down their backs,
big, innocent, childish eyes, are being
sold today, and have been sold for
years, in British Columbia to the
highest bidders. The slave masters
are the Cape Nudge Indians. The
slaves are white because their grand
mothers were sold before to white
men, and when their grandmothers
wandered back to the tribe, deserted
and abandoned, they brought baby
girls with them, and in course Of time
the male relatives of these abandoned
creatures sold these baby girls too,
when they grew up to young girl
hood"

County Attorney Al j. Smith an
nounced in court today that the state
will move the second trial of W.. F..
Bechtel Immediately after the close. of
the DR.. Force trial, now on before Judge
F. c. Brooks.
The cases against Wallace Campbell,
W. A. Kerr, Fred I. Sackett and former
Dearth were reset for May %.
Counsel for Dr.. J. F. Force, on trial
before Judge F. G. Brooks for the al
legged enlightenment Of a $675 check
from the local insurance company, made
a good start in the jury-selecting process
today, but the morning s work resulted
in the selection of only one man. This
brings the total to eight in two days
and half, with the end apparently
some distance away. -,
The Jurors Weary.
The imprisoned seven appeared in
court this morning with varying express
sions of WEAKNESS plainly written on
their features. The rise in temperature
does not meet with their approval, and
the term of their captivity seems to
be lengthening. There was mute ap'
peal in several pairs Of eyes as they
watched the lawyers bring out impress
sions entertained by the various venire-
men examined during the session to,
day. The light of hope occasionally
shone in their eyes when prospective
fellow captive would state that he had
no knowledge Of the case on trial, but
this light soon faded as one Of the other
of the examining counsel would bring
to light something that precluded the
man on the stand from joining the old
guard.
Force, started off with rush today
The result was that more veniremen
were examined, but the result remained
the same, as all had some opinion OF
were not wanted by one side or the
other Forty-three veniremen have been
examined and thirty-fve excused. A
special venire of thirty names was
drawn and served last night. q z
Their Hopes Blasted. "
The morning session was closed with
a blasted hope for the weary workers
when Joseph M. Schultz was excused per
emptorily by Mr.. Dahl. This venireman
ing. He swore that he had read the
papers telling Of the insurance cases
but that he had received no impression
as he said because "newspapers don 4
make impressions On my mind He
stated that he knew Charles Force, the
| defendant s son, and Frank Force, 8
nephew of the doctor S, and that he was
personal friend of Judge W. A. Kerr
one of the former insurance company
officials now under indictment. Not
withstanding these facts he swore tina
he had no bias and would make a fail
and impartial juror. The court foun'
the state s challenge for actual bias no
true and Mr. Dahl used his last peremp
tory challenge.
Dr.. Force is about the only person il
the courtroom who shows no sign o:
fatigue or nervousness cover the Ions
effort to select jurors. He sits quietl.
and watchfully beside his counsel, bu
beyond an occasional suggestion relativ
to man under examination, he ha
nothing to say.

fact that Minneapolis is recognized as

WIRE COMPANIES ASKED
TO PAY. ASSESSMENTS

A meeting Of the special council com
mittee appointed to confer with the
electric wire companies regarding the
payment of special assessments met this
afternoon at, the call Of Alderman
Holmes, chairman. There has been
some talk among the aldermen of refus-
ing permission to the various companies
using poles and electric wires to set
any, more poles unless they would pay
their share Of the permanent improve
ment.
A recent request from one of the tel
ephoae companies for cancellation Of
assessments for paving and sprinkling
on the ground that it was exempt under
the gross earnings tax provision, pro-
voked Alderman Holmes to introduce a
motion to deny requests for any more
pole lines unless a definite understand
ing were reached on the matter Of these
! assessments, which should not be con-
| sidered as a tax, but as direct i'm
provement to property. - ....
| The Northwestern company has al
ready announced that it will pay any
assessments that may be levied for i'm
provements, as it had done in the past
1t is expected that the Tri-State Tele,
phone company and the Minneapolis
General Electric company will come

BROWN EXPECTS To IT,.
SELL. SCHOOL BONDS

City Controller Dan G. Brown is con-
fident that a sale of the MINNEAPOLIS
school bonds will be effected. There
have been a. large number Of inquiries
from eastern bond investors and from
the tone of their letters it is evident
that, they contemplate making proposals
at the opening OF the bids next Thurs
day afternoon.
=; Altho the rate of interest has been
raised to per cent, it is not likely
that any large premiums will be offered.
This is a matter. of little concern, how
ever, as the school board is in Sc
rious predicament thru. lack of funds.
Nearly all school construction is held
crowded that hundreds Of IF PUPILS pA can
attend only a half day instead Of the
customary two sessions. The sale of
100000 In bonds would relieve the sit
uation greatly. 49, =.
