1t was stated in dispatches from Mag

raj Thomas probably would retain the

have involved the tranfers of hundreds
of files of official papers from the Con-

NOT MISTREATED
Government Agent Charged with
Wronging Redskins Calls Their
Leader to Testify for
Him
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Chief
Plenty Coos of the Grow Indian tribe
testified today before the senate COM
mittee on Indian affairs, and in response
to questions by Senator Dixon denied
many of the statements of Mrs Helen
Pierce Grey that many of the Indians
were mistreated by Major Reynolds,
the government agent.
Two interpreters were used in the
examination, one repeating the ques-
ton to the chief and the other giving
the answers to the committee.
Plenty Coos explained the manner of
his tribe in farming their lands. and
told of the returns OF the tribe to the
agent. Major Reynolds
He expressed the belief that Reynolds
was the best agent the Crows had ever
had, in that he helped the Indians help
themselves.
The chief denied that Reynolds inter-
fered with members of the tribe in sell
ing their stock and produce for the
best price obtainable. In other ways
he praised Reynolds, but said there had
been some complaint by those Indians
who did not like to work.

ADMIRAL EVANS CONDITION
ALREADY SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

By Associated Press.
PASO ROBLES HOT SPRINGS, April
4.-Rear Admiral Evans had a COM
Portable night and this morning took
another sulphur bath, followed bv
massage treatment. His physicians
nave made thorough examination and
declare that the admiral has no organic
trouble. He is subject to intermittent
spells OF lnfiammatory rheumatism.
These attacks, with the worry attend
ing the command of the battleship fleet
have caused Admiral Evans to drop
from 17S to 122 pounds in weight. The
admirable denies that he is very sick
He thinks that too much interest is
being taken in his condition and saws
that he will be walking about in q few
days. AT present he is wheeled about
the hotel grounds and to the baths in
a chair, but he walks about his room
with the aid of crutches. In a few
days, if the present rate of improve
ment continues, crutches will be aban-
doned for cane.
Lieut.. Evans, Admiral Evans son,
states that the arrangement for his
mother and sister to leave Washington
at this time was made soon after the
fleet started from the Atlantic coast.
and that the present illness of the ad-
miral has nothing to do with their
coming now.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 4.---Louis C. Hay,
chairman of the executive committee
of the newly organized Taft organiza-
tion of New York state, said today:
1--WE wish 1t distinctly understood
that the managers of Mr. Taft's cam
paign in Washington and in Ohio have
not had the slightest thing to do, di-
rectly or Indirectly, with the Taft or
ganization In New York, its founda-
tion or it's development. The Taft or
ganization of New York arose out of
the conviction in the minds of its
founders that Mr.. Taft is the man in
the country to be it's next president.
The Taft movement here is natural
and spontaneous. Any charge that the
Taft organization of the state of New
York is fathered by Wall street is with
out foundation"
Many bankers and fianciers and busi-
ness men of repute and distinction
have individually expressed their per-
sonal preference for Mr.. Taft as
presidential candidate-as other such
men have declared themselves for
Hughes or Knox, Fairbanks, Cannon
or others. .,,
THE Taft organization has no quar-
rel with anybody. 1t wants the truth
York state for the Republican nomi-
nee. 1t can be safely said that Its
members generally. while believing Mr..
Taft to be the best man for the next
president. will vote and work earnestly
for the success of the chosen candi-
date of the Republican national con-
vention in June whomsoever he may
be. as they are now working inde-
pendently of any political alliance,
earnestly and sincerely. for the nomi-
nation of William Howard Taft"

with Morse is his millions are gone,

There VIII he No Reduction.

When Taft is .inaugurated he viii
call an extra session OF Congress
with a great flourish Of trumpets for
the purpose of revising the robbsr
tariff laws that now exist, but it will
amount to nothing so far as the
public is concerned. The benefici-
aries of the revision will be those
trusts and corporations who want to
get their hands deeper in the peo-
ple's pockets. The Republicans dare
not legislate for the benefit OF the
people. II they did they would put
their party out of business. The
trusts and large corporations own
the Republican party and they will
name the schedule that will go IN
the new tariff law If one is framed.
A few days before the election
Walter Wellman, writing to his
paper, the Chicago Record-Herald,
one of the Republican organs that
was supporting Taft, said:
During the past week or ten days
money has been pouring in upon the
Republican national committee In a
golden stream. The contributions
are coming from heads of large
business concerns, from the. big
banks, from the chiefs of corpora
tions, from men of wealth and sub
stance. The explanation is fright
Serenity has given place to panic
And the men of wealth have reached
for their check books. Fear oi
Taft's defeat is no longer by the
men who are managing the cam
paign. If extraordinary meana
should be necessary to win they are
prepared to employ them. In other
words, they will use money to bring
victory"
Wellman went on to say that the
practical politician in New York
claimed that there are 10000 votes
that can be turned one way or the
other with money. Up the State
sorry to relate, there are said to be
$4,000 or 10000. Not all OF tneH
need to be bought. Some of them
can be hired" to bring in the vot-
ers on election day. These are the
admissions of a Republican in a Re-
publican newspaper and the result
of the election shows that he knew
what he was talking about. The
money used freely by the Repu u5li-
cans to debauch these voters was put
up by the trusts and large corpora
lions who. are allowed ito recoup
themselves out of the pockets of the
people through the operations of the
robber tariff. What chance has
the people in the face Of such con-
dition of things?
