Report of secretary.

The report of Miss Anges Slack, honorary
secretary OF the Worlds Women's Chris
tan Temperance union, was presented. 1t
showed that gains had been made nearly
everywhere in number of members and in
activity. The greatest proportional gain
has been made I'm Sweden, where a men,
bership OF 1913 three years ago has been
raised 10 2,6Ss. In India there are thirty
three local unions with membership OF
S9i. Scientific temperance instruction has
been introduced in the schools. In South
Africa, where Miss Slack spent several
months last year, many new unions have
been organized. There are 1851 branches
in Great Britain, with total membership
OF ZOE sos. The licensing act passed by
Parliament in 1894 has proved an obstacle
in the way of the people By preventing
them from suppressing the liquor trade In

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR ORDERS
IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION OF PA
TENTS TO INDIAN ALL0TEES
tLLOTtES WILL Be NOTIFIED
Indians Don't Seem Anxious to Get
Them-Big Task for Com
mission

Muskogee. /. T.. May. I6-The
secretary of the interior has order.
ed an immediate distribution OF all
patents to allottments in the five
civilized tribes. These patents will
be delivered by the Dawes COM
mission and the Indians will get
their long looked for deeds. The
commissioner will also deliver to
the allottees the patents that were
delivered to the chiefs of the tribes
where the patents have not already
been delivered There are now in
the Office of Chief Porter Of the
Creeks 5.o27 patents that have not
been delivered TO allottees. These
deeds were delivered to Chief Por-
ter over two year ago and he has
been unable to turn them over TO
the proper owners. Why the allot-
tees do not come in for their pa
tents or order them sent to them IS
one of the Indian problems that
has never been solved. The patents
will be turned back to the commits
sion and another effort made to
the commission and enother effort
made to distribute them to the In
dians where they belong.
In the Chcctaw and Chickasaw
nations there are 10000 patents
executed and recorded ready for
delivery: More are being made. The
delivery of patents is going to be
one OF the big tasks set for the
commission. A special department
with a large force of clerks will be
established at once. All allottees
who have deeds ready for them
will be notified. They can get these
patents by calling in person or by
ordering them sent by registered
mail. Later special parties will be
sent into remote towns in fullblood
settlements to deliver patents to
those who will not come in or write
for them. Why the Indians are not
eager for these documents cannot
be understood, but the experience
in the Creek nation proves that
many fnllbloods do not attadh
much value to their land patents.
This order for immediate general
delivery of deed is Of great inn
portance in connection with the re.
moval Of restrictions, as the law
provides that the restrictions shall
be removed FIVE years after date oi
delivery of patents. Had not com
plications arisen and tied up the de
livery of patents many Indians Of
mixed blood would have had theii
restrictions removed in a few
months by limitation.

AS TO PRICES OF LUMBER
The Lumber Dealers are not
Responsible for High
Prices.

Great complaint is heard about
the high prices of lumber, and the
dealers catch it on all hands.
Local dealers claim that they are
not responsible for it and the fol-
lowing notice that appears in the
Tecumseh (Okla.) Democrat, ap-
pears to confirm this view.
"Some few weeks ago a number
of business men organized the
Union Lumber Co., This company
was organized for the purpose of
lowering the price of lumber. 1t
was the opinion Of the organizers
that the price was from $500 to
S. 90 per thousand too high, and
that it was the faalt of the local
yards. The Union Lumber CON-
pany elected a committee to make
an invest alton to ascertain the
facts. This committee made a
thorough investigation aud report
ed that lumber was sold as cheap
as it could be sold, and that the
high price Of lumber was the fault
of the combination Of the wholesale
dealers and the railroads. and nol
of the local dealers. The Unior
company find that they cannot
save the people any money, ant
have decided not to open a yard a
this tire.

NO IMMUNITY FOR TRUSTS.

The decisions Of the United States
Supreme Court In which II CONSTITUTES
the federal immunity statutes are OF
far-reaching Importance. They will en-
able the government TO exercise much
more effective control over large cor
JsOrations In the future than IL could In
the past.
Lawyers for corporations claimed
that the immunity statutes applied to
cOntended that they did not, hut only
to natural persons. \ corporation can
only break the law through its officers
and employees, and usually they are the
only persons who know the facts. The
officers and employees cannot he pun
islie,i for unlawful acts regarding
which they have been compelled 10
testify. II the corporation also could
not be punished for unlawful acts
which lis officers or employees had done
as Its agents, and which they had been
forced tn disclose, IL would he extreme
10 make corporations obey the law.
Privileged testimony would he worth.
less for securing their punishment; and
except by privileged testimony their
crimes could not be proved.
Happily the Supreme Court sustained
the contention Of Attorney General
Moody. Ii held that the immunity
from prosecution provided by the fifth
amendment against characterization
lis personal 10 the witness himself"
Consequently, II railway official, un-
der legal c0mpulsion, admits having
given rebates he may not be- punished,
hut the railway corporation and every
issiy else concerned In the transaction
may be.
The government already has forced
the oil. the anthracite. the steel, the
sugar and other trusts TO give 1t much
self-incriminating testimony. IL will
now be able To use In court this tes-
timOny and all it may get hereafter
in the same way. Corporation officials
can bc forced to testify before a grand
jury or court, and IL they swear false
Iy they may be prosecuted for perjury.
There seems reason To expect big cor.
IOrati0ns 10 show more respect for and
pay reader obedience 10 the federal
laws In the future than they have In
the past-Chicago Tribune.
