TO S|FT INDIANS CASE
Senate Committee Will Visit
Mexican Border Kicka-
poos Cry Fraud.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-The In
dian discomfort that has started up in
several parts of the country has
brought about prompt action in Wash
ington. 81
A subcommittee of the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs, consisting of
Senators Teller, LaFollette and Curtis,
will leave the city tomorrow for Texas
and Mexico for the purpose of investi-
eating the trouble between the MeXi-
can Kickapoo Indians and the interior
department. $500
The Indians. who are now located in
Mexico, claim that they were fraudu-
lently induced to convey their lands
in Oklahoma and that no lease money
has been paid them for three years.
On the other hand, the department
makes charges against NJ. J. Bentley,
the representative of the Indians.
The controversy has existed for sew
eral years and at times has been quite
acrimonious. The committee will also
visit different points in Oklahoma and
it is expected that a months time will
be required for the inquiry.

TO PRAY FOR GILLETTE.
Guilty Mutual Chief Made
Scapegoat- Light Sen
tence Asked.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Dr Waiter r.
Gillette. a former vice president of the
Mutual Life Insurance company, who
was convicted last week in the Grim
inal branch of the supreme court on
the charge of perjury, Will be arraigned
before Justice Bowling today for sem
tence. The maximum penalty is state
prison There IS no fine connected with
the penalty for perjury.
A strong effort Will be made TO IN
duce Justice Bowling to extend the
veteran life insurance official the
greatest possible clemency. When the
jury rendered its verdict the foreman
announced that the jurors unanimous
y recommended DR.. Gillette TO the
clemency of the court
To Plead for Mercy.
Ex-Judge Hatch. senior counsel for
Or. Gillette, will make a powerful APP
peal for mercy, and it viii be sug-
gested that the court would commit no
error if a suspension of sentence should
be pronounced by Justice Bowling
AS far as is known the district at
torney's office will not ask for a heavy
sentence, but will leave the entire mat
ter with the court Mr.. Jerome is not
expected to be in court this morning.
Assistant District Attorney Kresel
who prepared the Gillette case for trial.
Will be there and move for sentence.
There is a possibility that Justice
Bowling may postpone sentencing DR.
Gillette in order to look little further
into the mass of applications for
clemency which he has received from
many friends of the convicted man. II
has been said over and over again that
DR., Gillette was only tool, simply
acting under orders, and that 1t woulC
be "a shame to punish severely 6
scapegoat when the principals IN the
transaction are still at large and may
never be reached by the law"
On Verge OF Collapse.
DR.. Gillette has been on the point o.
breaking down ever since he wa.
lodged in the Tombs prison last week
He is CT years of age and feeble
Neither he nor his lawyers had looked
for conviction.
By special permission of Commission
er Cloggy, a few of the closest friends
and relatives of DR.. Gillette saw hin
yesterday in the Tombs.

This world famed college athlete will

He believes more athletic training in

MORE QUAKE VICTIMS
Destitute Refuse Money but
Pitifully Beg for Bread
Delay in Salvage Work.

Rome, Oct. 27.-It is officially stated
that the villages damaged by the Gala
brian earthquake number thirty. The
lists of the dead and wounded have
not yet been compiled. but entire fam
lies are missing. 1t is feared that
many persons are yet alive beneath the
ruins of Ferruzzano. Cries for help
were heard until yesterday.
The bodies recovered are mostly mu-
tilated beyond recognition. Several OF
the dead. however were not injured
and it is therefore argued that they
were suffocated or died from exhaus-
ton while buried in the ruins. De-
composition of the bodies is being has
tened by the rain, which continues. A
considerable number Of cattle and en-
tire herds of sheep and goats persisted.
Refuse Money; Beg for Bread.
The salvage parties are stiIl insult
f1cient The arrival of achievements
is delayed by the impossible road
Food is lacking. The victims refuse
money but beg for bread.
Half of Dead Not Yet Buried.
Only half of those killed at Ferruz-
zano have been buried. The remainder
are decomposing under the ruins. The
delay in the work Of salvage and the
lack of food and medicines are entirely
due to the isolated position of Ferruz-
zano, the state of the roads and the
absence of railways, which neutralizs
the whole hearted efforts of the troops
who are suffering harsher hardship:
than if they were engaged in actua
war
