Some beasts are stronger than men,

Of the term. These distinctions we

The gift Of speech. moreover, lays US

INDIANS ARE BEING PAID
Pottawatomies Near Holton, Kan.
Get $348.5s Each.
Payment 10 Being Made Under an Ole
Trsaty-To Bring Guardianship
to an End.

Holton, Kan, July 26.-Six hundred
and sixty Indians of the Pottawatomit
tribe are being paid $34858 each OF
the Potawatomie reservation neal
here.
The government recently decided tC
pay the Pottawatomie Indians the
amount due them under the treaties Of
1S46 and bring the guardianship to an
end II possible. Congress last winter
appropriated S414,148.77 to make the
settlement The Interior department
ordered that two payments be made
One is for $3.50, O64.S4, now in progress
at the agency. The date Of the second
payment of $1S4,084.57 has not yet
been fixed.
Where the head of the family is re
sponslble, he is allowed to collect fol
the children. Otherwise the govern
ment holds the money until the chill
dren are 10 years old. The largest
amount drawn by one family was 81,
22O.SS. This sum was paid to the wife
and ten children of James Blandon, a
white man who has been interpreter
at the Pottawatomie agency for near.
ly 40 years. The payment Is made by
checks under the direction Of G. L.
the agent.
The tribal government is no longer
recognized by the government and
exists only in sentiment. Mash-no has
succeeded the late Kack-kack as chief,
but no attention is paid to him except
Tor the-use of his name in the tribal
history preserved by the educated
Pottawatomies, who include about 80 |
antilles. The educated Indians live in |
comfortable homes, numbering the
white people OF the towns among their
rlends. Fewer than u white men
rave married into the Pottawatom lie
ribe in recent years.

THERE IS coal IN PLENTY
Secretary Woodruff of Geological
O. Survey Makes Statement.
More Than 100000 Acres West Of
South Dakota, Kansas and Nebras-
ka Contain Vast Deposits.

Washington, July 27.-That a coal
famine is not necessary nor imminent
ia the opinion expressed by Acting
Secretary Woodruff, Of the Interior de-
partment. In statement made public
Friday he discussed the coal area as
developed by the geological survey
saying:
mot including great areas of Ignite,
which will be mined only after the
more valuable coal deposits are ex.
hausted, the geological survey has de-
termined that there are townships in
the states and territories west of
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas
aggregating in all over 60, 900 900 acres
Of land, each township Of which con-
tains, under Its entire surface or part
Of 1t, workable deposits of coal. The
geological survey has been busy for
several years in determining the, loca-
ton, quality and workable condition of
those coal deposits. This work has
been taken up with the utmost vigor
during the present year, and townships
containing more than 2s,OOO,OOO acres
in which workable coal exist have
been examined and classified.
when one remembers that these
classified areas are most conveniently
situated with reference to transporta-
tion and settled districts and that
every acre Of them is subject to pur-
chase from the government 1t is easy
to see that II there is to be a coal
famine next winter. such famine will |
result only from failure to mine the
coal which is easily accessible.

FIENDIsH CRIMES
Berlin the Scene Of a Series Of Cold
BloOdsd Attacks by a
''Jack-the-Ripper.'
MURDERS LITTLE CHILDREN
Three Little Girls Stabbed by the
Monster In a few MInutes-A
Suspect Under Arrest Barely
Escaped Lynchlng.

Berlin, July PA series of colo
blooded crimes, singularly resembling
the "Jack-the-Ripper" murders but fol
the fact that instead Of women the
victims were little girls. followed one
another with remarkable celebrity Fri
day afternoon almost In the center Of
the city and aroused the most intense
excitement and indignation. Within q
short space of time the assassin sue.
cessively enticed three girls, babies,
the Oldest only years, into door ways
Of houses and stabbed them several
times In the abdomen with sharp In
strument. AS result one of the chill
dren is dead, another is dying and the
third is dangerously wounded.
The first knowledge that the crimes
had been committed came when an &C.
cupant of the house at the corner Of
Ryke and Bedford streets found the
body Of Margaritha Prawitz, aged four,
lying in the doorway bather In blood,
the lower part Of the body horribly
gashed. This was Immediately report.
ed to the police who were about to
proceed to investigating the case when
reports came that Bertha Lanst aged
3 and ELY Knispel, five years old had
been found similarly on the ground but
alive in Prenzalaur Alice and Hen.
sersdorfer street, respectively.
Rumors soon spread magnifying the
number Of victims and the Inhabitants
Of the neighborhood became intensely
excited. Mothers sought their chill
dren In the street and made them re-
turn indoors In fear that they might
meet a similar fate. Crowds gathered
about the police station, shouting
vengeance against the murderer.
The officials acted quickly in an
endeavor to locate the murderer and
published an offer of reward Of ST.,
900 for his capture.
All the available police and detec-
tives were ordered to scour the neigh
borhood. Some parents have reported
that their children had seen a haggard
man about 81 years old, well dressed
and wearing a cap, offering candy and
fruit TO little girls whom he asked to
accompany him.
A man was arrested shortly after
ward who tailed somewhat with this |
indefinite description. Later he was
confronted by the two wounded chill
dren who, however we're too weak to
respond to the questions put to them.
The man was then taken In cab
guarded by police to the police station.
The crowd outside the station, beleiv-
Ing him to be the murderer, attempted
to drag him from the vehicle and
lynch him and he was only saved by
he policemen drawing their swords
and holding the crowd at bay. The
people then attempted to storm the
station and the prisoner was removed
% the Central station for security.
Should the two wounded children
lot die in the meantime the prisoner
will again be confronted by them,
Friday night the streets of the city
md suburbs were patrolled by large
numbers Of police. The most intense
excitement prevailed and the people
we're discussing the question whether
# not the murderer is still at large
nd whether the bloody deeds are still |
o continue.
