WILL CREMATE HINDU

PORTLAND, Nov S.-Portland
has lost it's only opportunity to OBJ
serve the ancient custom of the
Hindus in the disposal of their
dead. Instead of being burned on
the funeral pyre, as described in
Kipling's poems, with all of its at
tendant rites, the body of Harnam
Singh, the Hindu shot near Boring
and who died, will be cremated &C
cOrding to modern custom.
The brother of the dead man,
Sporan Singh, accompanied by sew
eral dark-skinned and turbaned
friends, appeared at the coroner's
office, while Coroner Finley was
absent, and left word that they de-
sired to take the body in a row
boat up the Willamette, to build a
funeral pyre. and consign the soul
of the dead man to the gods. 1t
was the intention to take immedi-
ate charge of the body and to ar
range for the funeral, which they
expected would be attended by all
the Hindus in the city. But the
coroner said no.

From Senator Foraker as

PEOPLES CHOICE
For President and United States Ser:

Secretary Taft will be Ohio's choice
for the presidential nomination nexr

sued by the senator last night Sena.
tor Foraker says that he does not
want any political honors from the
people of Ohio without their hearty
approval" aud he suggests that the
proper way to determine who is the
choice of the people to head the re.
publican national ticket and 10 repre-.
sent the state in the United States
senate is for the republican state cen.
tral committee to authorize a primary
election to choose delegates to the
state convention which will he called
upon to determine these questions.
The announcement of Stale Super.
intendent of Insurance Vorys that he
will support Secretary Taft for the
presidential nomination led Senator
Foraker. 1t is believed, to issue the
statement outlining his position. The
senator declares that he is willing to
go before the people on his record
and that he has nothing to conceal
from his constituents" Mr.. Foraker
does not say that he will be a candi.
date to succeed President Roosevelt,
but it is generally understood among
his friends in Washington that at
later date he will formally announce
his candidacy and that if the primary
election Is called in Ohio. he will
enter into the fight to secure thu en-.
dorsement OF his own state.
Senator Foraker says: "ln order
that there may he no doubt as to their
preference shall at the proper time
request the republican state central
committee to issue a call for repub.
lican state convention, to he compos.

only OF nominating candidates for
state Offices to be voted for at our
next state election, but also to de.

IF this suggestion should meet with
favor, 1t should be provided that the
primary elections shall be held at
convenient~time long enough after tho
call therefor has been issued to enable
all who are interested in the work OF
the convention, so to be chosen, to ap.
pear before the people and discuss the
public questions about which we are
all concerned, so that the people who
are interested may act intellgently in
the selection of their delegates&thus

ed in a Battle
AT MUSkOGfE,I.T |. 7.
A Band Of lawIess Negroes Got the
Worst Of a Desperate Fight
with Government Officers.

Muskogee, ]. r., March 27.--As a re.
suit of fight between members OF an
organization Of negroes known as Uni
ted Socialists on one side and city
and government officers on the other.
Tuesday, John Coffleld. white police
officer, was shot above the heart and
will die; Gus Fisher. white. clerk in
a wholesale grocery establishment,
was shot through the shoulder: Sam
and Elbert Barker and a man named
Scott. all negroes, are dead. two other
negroes whose names cannot he learn
ed were badly wounded and are in
hiding and six negroes are in Jail.
The United Socialists are establish.
cd in many Indian Territory towns
and one of their claims is that the
United States authorities have no
jurisdiction over them. The leader of
the organization, William Wright, is
among those arrested.
The fight took place at house oc.
cupied by the organization. Officer
Coffield went there to serve a warrant
on Elbert Barker and was shot down.
United States Deputy Marshals Led
better, Hubbard. Williams and Smith
responded to riot call. When they
reached the porch of the building they
were met by the Barkers and in reply
to a demand that they surrender one
of the negroes aimed rife. The four
officers fired simultaneously.
The negroes, although wounded. re.
turned the fire, but without effect.
Then followed a fusilade in which
about 30 shots were fired, resulting in
the wounding of Fisher and the two
other negroes and the killing OF Scott.
All white men In the city are armed,
but because the United Socialists are
dislikcd by others Of their race, fur
ther rioting is not looked for. The
socialists lived apart from the other
negroes and were known as money
finders because 1t was their custom
to travel about at night and hunt for
buried money.
