stitute. which was established at Car
Isle, Pa, in 1879, for the higher edu-
cation of the Indians, Is in danger OF
being abolished, The subcommittee

not so effective as the western educa-
tional institutions for the Indians. The
appropriation bill as it passed the
house, carried s169,000 for the sup
port of the school during the ensuing

One member of the committee said
today that while he was not ready TO
say that the higher education of the
Indian had been failure he could
not overlook the fact that few In

EX.CoNvICT's PLEA.
Mike AARON Dons american" Party
Badge, But Got Six Months.

Mike Aaron, ex-convict, burglar and
petit larceny thief, who was arrested
n few days ago on the charge of grand
larceny, that of stealing a watch from
{, stranger, was arraigned before Judge
Dehl this morning. and made an at
tempt TO give Asst. County Atty. Lyon
the double cross" Aaron failed in his
purpose and was then given six months
IN the county Jail.
This morning Aaron approached Mr..
Lyon aud asked the latter TO let him
plead guilty TO the charge of petit lar
ceny and take the limit for that of
Tense. Mr.. Lyan consented because the
complaining witness wanted to leave
town and did not care TO remain here
10 prosecute.
When the case was called in Judge
Diehl's court, Aaron pleaded guilty TO
petit larceny, but asked that he be per
mitted to make statement. Aaron
wore an American" party badge and
took particular pains that the same be
noticed by those In the court room.
II know that am a bad character
he said. II plead guilty simply be-
cause circumstances are against me
and / want to get out os 1t the best |
can, but God is my witness that l am
innocent. l arm just out of Jail for
wrong deed but my folks are anxious
10 help me set UP In business. l know
that my character is bad and for that
reason I plead guilty because circum-
stances are against me"
Mr.. Lyon was on his feet in an in
slant. He stated that Aaron had
begged to be permitted TO plead guilty
to petit larceny to avoid going back
TO the state prison. Mr.. Lyon consented
and now Aaron WAS trying TO escape
punishment
1T seems to me- said Judge Diehl,
that Mr. Lyon has been extremely
kind to you. The fact that you have
bad record and a bad character would
certainly go against you in the district
court before a jury" Judge Diehl then
sentenced Aaron to the county jail for
