LEUPP DEFENDS HIS BUREAU.
Tells New York Audience That
Critics Are Ignorant.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Francis E.
Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs
talked to the Patria Club at the Hotel
Savoy last evening about tthe recent trou-
bic with the Utes, and in the course of his
remarks he took occasion to reply pretty
sharply to some of the criticism that his
bureau has received regarding its treat
ment of those Indians.
Commissioner Leupp said that much of
that criticism, that "volley of assaults, -
was Conceived in the sin of self-satis-
fled ignorance and brought. forth in the
inquiry of a snap Judgment He de-
clared that the bureau of Indian affairs
always would welcome criticism from
weli-informed persons. but he added: The
bureau will never let the ill-informed
throw down the gage of criticism without
picking 1t up so>quickly as to make the
critics head swim"
Mr.. Leupp outlined at some length the
the Indian into the white mans civilza-
ton, a marked reversal of its former
policy of assisting the Indian in his ar
dent desire of keeping as separate from
the white man as he possibly could. The
commissioner expressed the opinion before
the evening was oyer that the final solu-
ton of the Ind ian problem would be
reached by intermarriage.
Commissioner Leupp remarked at the
beginning of his talk that there had been
a good deal of talk about the latest FIN
dian outbreak AS a matter of fact there
wasn't any outbreak at all. The 400
ties who left the winter reservation in
Utah went on theh travels with perfect
ly peaceful purpose. He then went on to
describe his interview and that of the
President with the Ute delegates. who OBJ

FRENCH PRESS ON ROOSEVELT.
LIE Temps Says Japanese Struggle
Will Be One Without Truce

PARIS. December 1.-the French
press is greatly interested in President
Rcosevelt's declaration that he would not
pers. like the Gaulois, are disposed to
believe that he was forced to this ut
terance by the change of public opinion
created by the recent financial crisis. but
papers like the Temps reject the imputa-
ton of bad faith to Mr.. Roosevelt.
While the time has not yet arrived to
pass judgment upon the, career of Presi-
dent Roose welt, the Temps thinks that his
tory will recognize him as one of the
chiefs os state who looked far into the
future.
a characteristic trait of the last quar-
ter of d century, says the paper, has
been the growing intensity Of interna-
tional economic competition, which even
in times of peace has made our old watS
seem child's play Wars now are only
incident to the economic, truceless strug-
gle The Spanish American, the Trans
vaal and the Russo-Japanese wars
were economic wars, perhaps may be
a war in the future between the United
States and Japan. This President Roose-
Welt has discerned clearly, and he has
sought to place America in the front rank
of naval powers
The Temps, like the Journal des De-
bats, believes that an attempt may be
made to make Secretary Taft Mr.. Roose-
velt's heir but both papers say that the
retirement of the President leaves the
field singularly open. and that the issues
of the next presidential campaign are not

Rates Are High.

NEW YORK, December 14.-The pub
lie service commission, in the report it
will make the legislature at the be-
ginning of the year. will say that with
proper capitalization 1t would be pos
sibe for the railroad companies of this

The commission has totaled up the
profits made by the various companies of
the city for the fiscal yea ended June

S66O93,7 76. The total of the operating
expenses for the year was $37 ,013, 062,
leaving a balance of S29OS0,714
IT is the intention of the commission to
order the running of more trains in the
subway in the hours when there Is traffic
to and from the theaters. In report
which has been submitted to the board
by its inspectors it is set out that a few
evenings ago there were 80 passengers
standing in trains leaving the 96th

NEW YORK. December lathe enc
mics Chairman Herbert Parsons has in
the republican county committee plan to
take advantage of the disagreeable posi-
ton he has been placed in because Of the
declaration made by President Roosevelt
that he will not run again. Mr.. Parsons
was placed at the head of the local organ
ization by the influence of President
Roosevelt and has allied himself with the
republicans in this part of the state who
are described as anti-Hughes men.
The enemies of Mr.. Parsons have de-
cided to introduce a resolution at next
Thursdays meeting of the committee ia
voring the sending of an instructed dele
CATION for Gov. Hughes from this state to
the republican national convention. Men,
bers of the executive committee who were
seen last night said that there was no
doubt that such resolution would be
passed.
The adoption of such a resolution would
practically mean the end of the rule by
Mr.. Parsons of the local republican or
ganization, although under the rules he
cannot be deposed from the Craftsmanship
until next fall.
