It's a bad day for the artificial
blondes. A shortage of the supply OF
peroxide, together with a carelessness
as to appearances, has resulted in
many peculiar couture combinations.
The blonde of yesterday, who was the
brunette of day before yesterday, will
be the blonde-brunette of tomorrow.
Inability to secure the needed drug
and lack of attention to her browning
glory is the reason.

INDIANS HAVE UPPER HAND.
Refuse to Permit Sheep to Be Driven
Across Reservation.

rSIuSC ~ CI1iik 0stSCP W Dc DtiSCt
Across Reservation.
Washington, April Ex-senator Full
ton of Oregon discussed with the pres
ident during the day peculiar situa-
tion which has arisen in his state.
The sheep raisers of the state have
been in the habit of driving their
1locks, numbering in the aggregate
about 250,000 head, across the UNA
t1lla Indian reservation from the win
ter rendezvous of the focks to the
summer ranges and back again in the
fall. This spring the Indians refused
to permit the stockmen to drive their
sheep across their reservation-a dis
tance of about fifteen miles-llnless
the owners paid them 81 head. AS
the sheep are worth about $1.50 each
the stcckmen' regarded the proposed
tax as rather heavy. AS the Indians
have the law on their side and the
Indian police to enforce it there is
nothing for the stockmen to do but
drive their sheep entirely around the
reservation unless they can make
some reasonable arrangement with
the Indians through the government.
It was with view to making such an
arrangement that Senator Fulton had
his talk with the president. The sub:
ject will be considered further by the
president in connection with officials
of the interior department. =

Mr. Morgan served notice that he

and it met with general assent. In.
this way all the amendments would

IMPRISONMENT AND FINE.
arsene. and eaynor Sentenced at sa
vannah, Ga.

Savannah, Ca, April 14.-Judge
Speer, in the United States court,
sentenced Greene and Gaynor each to
a term Of four years in the peniten-
tiary and to fine of $575,749, the
amount each is charged with having
fraudulently obtained from the United
States government.
When the prisoners were brought
into court Judge Speer asked counsel
for the defense If they had anything
to say why sentence should not be
pronounced. Colonel P. w. Meldrim
answered in the negative, whereupon
the court imposed sentence. Each
defendant had been found guilty upon
all the counts Of three indictments
charging conspiracy, embezzlement
and presenting false claims The SEN
tences upon the three indictments
were respectively two, four and four
years, but the court ordered that these
run concurrently, SO that the sentence
was really for four years. Imprison-
ment is to be in the federal prison at
Atlanta.
The defense will file bill of excep-
tions and they asked for an order of
court extending to thirty days the
time permitted counsel for preparing
this bill.

IN SMOOT CASE.
Former Secretary Carlisle Opens for

Former Secretary Carlisle Opens for
the Protestants.
Washington, April 13-Arguments
in the case of Senator Reed Smoot
were begun during the day before the
senate committee on privileges and
elections after an inquiry extending
over three years into his right to re-
tain his seat. Former Secretary of the
Treasury John c. Carlisle opened for
the protestants. The committee room
was as crowded as any time since the
investigation began, most of the spec
tators being women. Mr.. Smoot was
present, as we'll as several prominent
Mormons who have assisted him in his
defense.
Mr. Carlisle reviewed first the testi-
mony of President Joseph F. Smith:
and other Mormon officials to show
that the first presidency and the
twelve apostles are self-perpetuat-
ing body, responsible for everything
that is done, either spiritual or tenn
poral. Mr.. Shoots membership in
this body, asserted Mr.. Carlisle, made
him equally responsible for any wrong
doings under the laws of the nation.
He said the Mormon church is more
than church.; it is a commercial and
political organization. He criticised
at some length church control over
candidates. of it's members for public
office and asserted that the situation
is such that the politics of Utah can
be dominated by the Mormon church
at will.
Senator Knox inquired of Mr.. Car
Isle whether he contended that the
laws of the church require members TO
submit to the jurisdiction of the
church laws when in conflict with the
laws of the state and nation Mr..
Carlisle replied that was his conten-
tion and that the officers of the
church could do nothing without the
consent of the apostles, Of which Mr.
Smoot is one.

MITCHELL is OPTIMISTIC.
Hopes Operators Reply Will Permit
Further NEGOTIATIONS.


New York, April 14.-President Nit
chell of the Miners union is busy pre-
pairing to close his headquarters here
and return to Indianapolis. All the
members of the general scale commit
tee have left for their homes in the
anthracite regions and will not be
called together until after the oper-
ators reply to the propositions sub
mitted to them by the miners.
In the face of pessimistic express
sions Of some of the members of the
scale committee President Mitchell is
hopeful of a peaceful ending of the
controversy with the operators. He
believes that the operators will make
an answer which will permit the con
tinuance of the negotiations instead of
abruptly ending them.
President Mitchell goes to Indianap-.
oils to prepare for the meeting of the
international executive board of the
miners union. At this meeting the
proposition made last week by the
Ohio operators to arbitrate the dis
pute between the mine owners and
the striking miners in that state will
be considered.

WILL PREVENT
MORE DELAYS
President Urges Adoption Of Simmons
Amendment to Railroad
Rate Bill.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE TO BE HELD

Washington, April 14.-Railroad rate
legislation again was topic OF impor-
tant discussion at the White House
during the day. The president talked
over the subject with Senator Nelson
Of Minnesota, one of the staunch sup
porters of rate regulation, and later
discussed it with Senators Simmons
and Oyerman of North Carolina.
The president suggested to Senator
Nelson that in his judgment it would
be wise to attach to the Hepburn bill
either the amendment offered by Sen
ator Simmons or that by Senator NAL
lory, both of which are designed to
prevent unusual delay in the consid-
Grafton of applications for temporary
injunctions. The proposed amend
ments provide that proceedings for
preliminary injunctions must be begun
before the rate fixed by the commits
sion goes into effect. The complain
ant must begin proceedings within fif-
teen days after any given rate Is fixed
by the commission and the notification
has been received. Ten days then are
allowed for the taking Of the testi-
mony and the return Of papers. In
thirty-Iive days all the facts in the
case must be ready for submission to
the court on a motion for the tenn
porary injunction. Such an amend
ment, it is believed by the advocates
of rate regulation, would insure a
speedy determination of any given
case and would prevent the delays
which they fear. 1t is regarded as
likely that such an amendment may
be adopted.
Senator Morgan has offered an
amendment to the railroad rate bill
providing for the review by the fed
eral courts of findings by the inter-
state commerce commission.

HIS WIFE MADE
POLICY LOANS
Wife Of Insurance President Did Bust
ness With the Company's
Patrons.
WISCONSIN LEGISLATIVE HEARING.

Milwaukee, April 14.-The most
sensational feature Of the day in the
examination of the Northwestern Mu
tual Life Insurance company by the
special legislative investigating COM
mittee was the production Of docu-
nentary evidence tending to show
that Mrs. Henry L. Palmer, wife of
the president of the company, was
frequent investor in loans on policies
Of the Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance company and that on one OF
these loans at least, negotiated in 1899
but which was still running in 1905,
she obtained an interest rate of per
cent. During a portion of the time
Mrs. Palmer was obtaining this inter-
est rate policy loans were being made
by the company itself at an interest
rate of 6 per cent. President Palmer
admitted that no notification was sent
to policyholders who had loans from
private parties that the company was
making policy loans, but said he sup,
posed the policyholders could have OBJ
tanned general knowledge of that fact.
An admission by President Palmer.
showing how firmly intrenched the
officers of the company were in the
control of elections, was to the effect
that all nominations for trustees made
by the agents association were passed
upon by the board of trustees before
the election.
Pass on Their Own Qualifications.
Trustees who were up for reelection
were present at the meetings where
their own qualifications were passed
upon. AS a matter Of fact, however,
Mr.. Palmer declared, no nomination
Of the agents of trustee had even
been rejected.
The records of the company for the
election of 1904 were produced, show
ing that majority OF the persons
who voted proxies were not policy
holders of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company and that thus
the rather strange situation was Gre
ated of -policyholders in the CON-
pany actually electing thesoficers who
controlled the company's business.
The records produced In regard to
the loan to a policyholder by Mrs.
Henry L. Palmer showed that Mrs.
Palmer had printed notices to be sent
out as reminders of the date of the
interest payments on these loans, thus
giving the inference that the business
she has done in the line of l0aning on
company policies has been sufficient
to warrant her having printed blanks
for the formal notices on the loans.
President Palmer did not like to
talk about these loans and when asked
II they were not for very consider
able amount he said he did not know,
but that the whole facts could be OBJ
tanned If the committee would call the
proper witnesses.
