Today Secretary Aupperle of the

letter from United States Senator
Teller stating that the usual appro-
priation for the Teller Institute had
been placed in the budget now made

passed by both houses without any
change in regard to the Indian school
maintenance.
Some months ago Senator Teller.

nounced in an interview in The Senti-
mel that it was only a matter of time
until the big Indian school located
here. along with all other non-agen-
cy schools, would be abandoned. For
this reason 1T was feared by many of
the Indian service officials and local
citizens that congress might decline
to make any further appropriation
for the local school. thereby allow
ing its work to end with the close

of the present fiscal year. But 1t can
now be safely announced that the
school will be provided for for at
least 16 months to come.
The annual appropriation for the
operation and maintenance of the
school here amounts to about $780,
900. This does not include neces-
sary expenditure at intervals for
building improvements. The appro-
priation now provided for In the con-
gressional budget will maintain the
school from July 1. 1908. to June
80, 1909.
The Indian school here represents
an investment of about $250,000.

abandoned 1t is hoped. as announced

have it SO arranged that the state

By Negroes Who Tried to Rob
His Store.
RESCUED BY SHERIFF.
The Storekeeper, Mr.. T. L. Caves,
After Being Rescued, Was Taken
to the Hospital in Charleston for
Treatment. He Was Unable to
Give ANY Account Of the Trouble.
The Robbers Made Their Escape.


The following account of All out
rage that took place near Charles
ton, we clip from the News and
Courier of Christmas Day. The News
and Courier says telephone call
from St. Andrews Parish yesterday
afternoon gave information Of an
outrage committed and the prompt
response of Deputy Sheriff Joseph
Poulnot and volunteers was, no
doubt, the means Of saving the life of
Thomas L. Caves, who keeps a gen.
eral store in st. Andrews, a short
distance from the New Bridge ter
minus, across the Ashley River.
The message was received in the
sheriff's office about six o'clock and
it was to the effect that Caves had
been set upon and seriously injured
by negroes intent upon robbing his
store. Caves, it seems, was, to some
extent, able to defend himself for
some time and, though badly injur-
ed, managed to get inside the store
when he barred the doors. He then
crawled to the telephone and called
for the sheriff's o...ce, Charleston.
The message sent was to the effect
that he was being murdered and that
immediate help was needed.
Mr.. Poulnot was in charge Of the
office and lost no time in starting
for the scene of the trouble. he
chartered one of the big touring cars
from the Charleston Hotel garage, in
charge of Chauffeur Johnson, and
picking up Mr.. Harry Lihnstedt and
later Constable R. l.. Knox, sped over
to st. Andrews The men in the
car did not know just what they were
to face-but they asked no questions
and were ready for any emergency.
Arriving at Caves store, which is
at the junction Of the shell road and
the James Island road, they looked
about for beligerants. None was in
sight, and then giving attention to
the store, they succeeded in roulsng
Mr.. Caves, who was just ablbe to get
to the door and unbar it; weeping
with Joy at the sight Of his rescur-
ers. He was so far spent with loss
of blood from an ugly wound over
the left eye, that he could give no &C
curate account of the trouble, and
only the genearl details were learn
ed.
There was not person IN the
neiehborhood when the automobile
stoned at the store, and seeing the
condition of the wounded man, Mr.
Poulnot decided to come back at
once. Within an hour and a half OF
the time of receiving the message
Mr., Caves was at the Roper Hospital

GROUND TO PIECES.
Wealthy New York Lawyer Leap
cd In Front OF Train.
Financial Troubles Caused BY the
Panic Said to Be the Chief Cause
of Suicide.

Ernest G. Stedman, one Of New
York's most prominent lawyers, rated
to be worth in excess Of S7,000,000,
and a brother of Edmund Clarence
Stedman, the poet-banker, last week
tragically committed suicide by leap
ing in front of local subway train
at the Fourteenth street station.
The ]. C. Lyon Building and Oper-
ating. company. of which he was vice.
pesident, treasured and director,
failed for several millions of dollars
last Friday when receivers were ap-
pointed and financial troubles are
believed to be the chief causes Of the
suicide.
Mr.. Stedman was president Of the
American Cushion Elbow company
treasurer oflthe Raritan River Clay
company, "a member Of several prom
inent clubs, and had Offices on Broad
way, where he was member Of the
law firm of Stedman & Larkin. His
town house was at 1881 Madison
avenue.
The suicide could not have select
ed spot where his death would
have created a greater sensation.
The uptown platform of the sub
way at Fourteenth street was crowd
ed with persons, mostly women, who
were waiting for trains, when Mr..
Stedman, who had been observed
walking up and down the platform,
suddenly darted through a group OF
women, jumped to the tracks in
front of the fast moving uptown
train.
Six cars Of the train had passed
over the lawyers body before the
train was stopped and by that time
the body had been terribly mangled.
In the meantime the excitement on
the platform had become a panic.
Several women who had seen the man
leap to death tainted or collapsed
and for several minutes in the wild
excitement they lay about the plat
form unattended.
1t was more than three-Quarters OF
an hour before order was restored
and that tains had resumed their
normal running orders.
