Satisfactory Results Shown in the
Annual Report Of the Superin-
tendent, Miss Estelle Reel.

Washington. Dec 23-The annual re-
port of Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent
of the Indian schools. made public today,

coming a feature of education among the
Indians, and with entirely satisfactory
results The superintendent has visited
practically all of the Indian schools dur
ing the year, and reports that more
teachers are recognizing the special
characteristics of the Indian and conse-
quently better methods of teaching pre-
vail.
The teaching of cooking and home laun-
dry work now occupies 4 permanent
place in the regular course. School gar
Gems have increased in number and ex-
tent. The beneficial results of education
al work among the Indians are illus
trated by the larger number of pupils
who have found employment in various
occupations requiring manual skill, and
the prediction is made in the report that
a greater number of Indians will become
self-suppOrting each year as the result
of manual training methods

by robber at his residence at Fort Reno
last Friday might was iyrprvvSsf- Srosiay-

The robber has not been arrested. nor do

he caught a train at Darlington station,
four miles distant. and to which point
his trail was followed by bloodhounds.
Evidence Not Conclusive.
The hat found at the rear of Captain
Mackiin's porch undoubtedly was dropped
by the TObber, as from this hat was taken
the scent that enabled the bloodhounIs
yesterday morning to follow the trail to
the water tank at Darlington station. Ex-
animation of the hat discloses the figures

longed to some man in the Twenty-fifth
infantry. There is no letter, however,
designating the company. the letter hav-

means conclusive that the man who shot
Macklin was a soldier. These hats can

AIIege Broken Agreement.

The trouble mas been in incubation ever
since the southern Pacific company. ac-
cording to the firemen, abrogated the
agreement with he men several months;
ago by signing an agreement with the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive. Engineers.
which terminated the privilege of the fire
men to regulate the seniority list OF
switch engineers and to represent engi-
ueers and members of the firemens bro
therhood on grievance committees.
A large percentage of firemen becoming
engineers maintain their membership and
insurance in the firemen's organization
instead of joining the engineers brother
hood. and this fact seems to be at the
bottom of the present trouble, notwith-
standing the specific declaration of the
firemen that their grievance is against
the company and not against the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers.
The full effect of the strike will not
be apparent Cor several days. and no
announcement of the intention of the
company relative to the filling of the
places of the men who have gone out has
yet been made
