CAMPAIGN FUND
Thomas j. Ryan Admits This
Before a New York
Grand Jury

NEW YORK, Apri! 21.-Part of the
$500, ,00e involved in the Wall and
Cortland street ferries company deal,
a grand jury for several months,- may
have been used in the campaign which
preceded the presidential election in
1900, according to testimony before
the grand jury by Thomas j. Ryan.
Portions of the testimony were filed
with the clerk of the supreme court
today by order of Justice Bowling.
From this it appears that when Ryan
was questioned about contributions
for campaign purposes and especially
regarding the payment of nearly ST.,
100000 by the Metropolitan company
for the Wall and Cortland street fran
chise and the subsequent payment of
several hundred thousand dollars of
this amount to Ryan and some of his
associates, he made the following ex-
planation:
1T may not have been for the cleo
tion of 1900, but during the fall or
winter of 1899 there had been a pre-
liminary campaign going on. 1t was
thought that perhaps Bryan could be
defeated in Kansas City, but it was
a foregone conclusion that Mckinley
would be renominated and part of the
money may have gone for that"
In a signed statement given out
last night Ryan said the money re-
paid to him and his associates fol-
lowing the Wall and Cortland street
franchise was the precise amount.
with interest, which had been ad-
vanced by Dolan, Whitney. Ryan,
Widener and Elkins to cover expendi-
lures which had been made for the
benefit of the property. Replying to
a question by Jerome regarding cam
paign contributions in general Ryan
replied:
II have always found political par
ties in a receptive mood. We were al
ways informed when an election was
coming"

INDIANS FILE CHARGES
AGAINST SUPERINTENDENT

Serious charges have been preferred
against Charles d. Rakestraw, superin-
tendent of the Indian reservation in
Modoc county, by the Indians, who claim
that he has dealt unjustly with them
and exceeded his authority. Complaint
was made to the federal authorities
and the matter will be heard in the
superior court of Modoc county the
latter part of this month. Superin-
tendent Rakestraw conferred with
United States Attorney Devlin yester-
day and when 1t was learned that the
Indians had engaged counsel to prose-
cute their charges Attorney Devlin
stated that an assistant from his office
would defend the Indian agent.

placing several of their numbers in
the prison at the reservation without
warrant and that he has punished
them in various other ways. The In
dams allege that Agent Rakestraw has
mistreated the Indian women and that
he has managed affairs of the reserva-
tion with an iron hand.
