Washington, Sept. 1G.-Uncle Sam
is planning to distribute homesteads
in Indian reservations of the West to
about $4,000 homeseekers during the
next year. This will be the biggest
distribution he has made since he
threw Oklahoma open to settlement.
The land to be opened up is located on
eight different Indian reservations
and nearly all of it is regarded as
first-class for farming purposes.
While the regulations for its dispo-
sal are out only for one reservation
thus far, it has been decided to open
all the tracts by the lottery system.
This has been tried twice by the gov
eminent and works admirably.
Square Deal for All.

tests and apparently satisfies every
body who secures a ticket to the lot

The first reservation to be opened
will be the Lower Brule, in South Da-

tons issued for it's disposal. Home
seekers will have until Oct. 7 to file
applications for lottery tickets in the

Pierre the following week. Each ap-
plicant must go to the Pierre land dis

he is entitled to take public land un-

is successful in drawing a farm he
must pay the government the apprais-

Pittsburg, Sept. 11.-One man is
dead and two others more or less Sc
riously injured as a result Of two &C
cidents at a series of automobile races
that were held at the Brunas Island
track, near this city, yesterday. The
dead nan is Rex Reinerston of this
city, who died Of a fractured skull
while being taken to the hospital.
Walter Christy Of New York city,
fractured his right arm, sustained
scalp wounds and bruises Of the body.
1t is also feared he has been internal
ly injured.
Caught Beneath Car.
Clarence Passion, who was a me-
chanic for Reinerston and was riding
with him at the time, received injuries
to the spine that are serious. Reiners-
ton was driving in a race when at a
turn n Of the front tires came off
and the machine turned over. Reiners-
ton and Pastion were caught beneath
the car.
The wrecked car was left at the
edge ofthe track. and after order had
been restored Walter Christy attempt
ed to make a new track record for a
mile in a new 14O-horsepower car.
Christy was cautioned to beware OF
the wrecked car. Christy crossed the
tape at a speed that could hardly be-
estimated.
Thown Fifty Feet in Air.
He ran into ne back stretch and
approached the wrecked car at a speed
that carried him too far out. Chris
tvs car hit the obstruction on the
track fairly head-on. The big racer
bounded fully fifty feet in the air, and
Christy was hurled like a catapult a
long distance ahead of it. AS he was
thrown from the machine the steering
wheel caught him across the stomach,
and it is from this it is feared he has
sustained fatal injuries. AS Christy
struck the ground the machine which
was in flight had hurdled the wreck
and came on him and he law under a
mass OF wreckage, from which he was
taken and sent to the hospital.

MOROCCO TO PAY WAR DAMAGE.
France Wants International Commits

OWL " tn sIso~ISIIIsA
Paris, Sept. 11.-A special meeting
Of the cabinet was held yesterday for
the purpose of considering the Moroc-
can situation. The following conclu-
sions were reached:
The Moroccan government should
be held responsible for the massacre
of July 80 at Casablanca, as we'll as
for the damage suffered as a result of
the pillage or the repression of disor-
ders.
The indemnities should be fixed by
an international commission.
Incidentally this is Frances answer
to the demands of the German export

tanned during the bombardment.
The conclusions arrived at are
based on the precedent established
after the bombardment of Alexandria
by the British feet in 1882. The cab
met requests Foreign Minister Pichon
to examine the general question of
Morocco and to prepare a note on the
subject to be issued as SOC as posi-
BILE.
After the meeting Premier Clemen-
ceau announced he had not received
any messages from Gen. Drude, the
French commander at Casablanca, or
mander of the naval forces Of the
coast of Morocco, regarding the result
of the armistice.

LOOMS UP BIGGER EVERY DAY.
French People Now Realize That Mo-

"lCtNAONo .VVuSo NV
Paris, Sept. 10.-A ray of hope for a
possible solution of the Moroccan
problem came from the Moorish en-
pire Saturday In the shape of an an
~nouncement that the tribesmen were
ready to negotiate for peace. Vice
Admiral Philibert confirmed this new
In an official cablegram, stating that q
delegation from the warning Arabs
had asked Gen. Drude for an armistice
pending a settlement of peace terms.
The armistice was to have expired
yesterday, but the result is not yet
known.
No great expectations are based
upon this announcement, for there Is
some suspicion that the move may be
a trick of the Moors to gain time to
bring in reinforcements.
Looms Bigger Every Day.
At home the new features in the Mo-
roccan question from the French
standpoint will be found in the opin.'
ions OF the German press upon the
question of naturalization for Ger
man losses that grew out Of the bonn
barment of Casablanca and the effect
Of the project to police Morocco by
France and Spain.
The French nation has suddenly
come to the realization that the Mo-
roccan question looms up bigger every
day. In Paris the situation is now the
main subject of discussion by the peo-
pie, who feel that momentous events
In which France is bound to play a
leading role are inevitable.
Plans Vigorous Campaign.
Casablanca, Sept. 9.-The armistice
sanctioned by Gen. Drude has been
fruitless, as the delegates of Caid
Mazi, chief Of the Chamula tribe, have
not put in an appearance. Gen.
Drude has planned a vigorous cam
paign against the natives in case the
Moors remain obdurate. Natives de-
clare that numerous members of the
tribesmen are encamped at Taddert
awaiting the arrival of Mulai Haig
or his representative before making
another attack.

Watson & Co., members of the New

and of the Chicago Board of Trade.
was announced in those exchanges
yesterday. No cause was assigned for
the failure, nor was any estimate or
the liabilities and assets made public.
The firm has extensive connections In
the West, maintaining Offices in Du-
luth, Minneapolis, Fargo and Winni-
peg. They are said to have carried
on one of the biggest grain brokerage
businesses in the country. besides
trading actively in railroad stocks,
particularly those of the Great North.

Failure Unexpected.
It was generally understood that the
firm had advised it's patrons to buy
grain this year and that both the COM
pany and it's patrons profited thereby.
The announcement of It's failure was
therefore unexpected on the Produce
exchange.
On the Stock exchange, however, it
was understood that the firm had
heavy commitments in Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad stocks
and that they suffered chiefly from the
enormous shrinkage in the market
values Of those securities.
