WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-'I am the

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 19.-"Three
generations more and I don't believe
there will be real Indian left in the
country" said special gent Samuel
Cone of the Indian service today.
Mr.. Cone is here as a witness before
the grand jury. He has spent the
greater portion of his life in the Indian
service.
"Whfte mems clothing and houses
have signed the death warrant of the
INDIAN continued Mr.. Cone.
Consumption and other diseases OF q
civilized people have gotten tootlne
and the ranks of the full bloods are
being decimated rapidly.
This is particularly true OF the older
Indians who roamed the plains ahu
mountains before the creation OF res
ervations. and who have not been con-
stitutionallv fitted for the changed en-
vironment."

INSANE WOMAN GIVES
POISON TO CHILDREN
Mother of Family in Montpelier Puts
Deadly Bane In Wine and
compels Offspring TO
Drink

MONTPELIER, Idaho, Dec. 10
Three deaths, to which a fourth may
be added, are the results of mother s
deranged mind and the quick action OF
a deadly poison.
Mrs. John Rosen the wife of a we'll
to-do ranchman living a few miles
from this city, this morning admins
tered strychnine to her three children
a baby of and two sons aged 7 and
10 years, after dissolying the drug in
wine.
She then poisoned herself.
Mr. Rosen, who was in the barnyard
at the time, entered the house soon
afterward and discovered the condition
of affairs, sent the oldest boy to q
neighbor for help. Death soon claimed
the mother and youngest child.
The father followed the son who had
gone for help and found him lying in
the road lifeless
There is thought to be hope for the
second son, who resisted the efforts OF
his mother to give him the wine and
swallowed but a little of it.
Mrs. Rosen had been suffering from
rnelancholia.

INSURGENTS OF
HOUSE PLEASED
STRIFE AMONG REPUBLICAN
SOLONS ELATES THEM
BELIEVE ARBITRARY RULES OF
CONGRESS WILL BE REVISED
Many Leaders Admit That Only Hope
of Improving Regulations Lies
with the Democratic
Members

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The insur-
gents against the present rules OF the
house are leaving Washington for tnelr
homes. tubilant over the progress they
have made in stirring up an insurrec-
ton in the Republican ranks.
They will tell their constituents that
before the end of the session the rules
will be amended.
one of the insurgents expressed him
self today as certain that at least one
change will be made in the rules. He
said that he believed there would be
opposition to it at a Republican caucus.
That amendment would provide for a
day each week for the call of COM
mittees of bills on the union calendar
and on the house calendar.
Some Of the most optimistic claim
this is all that is necessary to get relief
from the present rules.
A call of the committees would en-
able a committee to get before the
house all of the important bills OF the
various kinds, it is urged, and would
relieve the speaker of liability 10
charges of preventing legislation which
was demanded by the people.
Probable Effects
Inasmuch as the house would have
an opportunity to pass upon the bills
in the course of a short period, surely
during a session of congress the pack
ing of a committee against bill would
have no other effect than the influence
of the opinion of It's members upon
those who had not investigated the sub
ject thoroughly.
1t is acknowledged by some of the
leaders of the insurgents that the only
hope of amending the rules lies in the
action of the minority. Ever since con-
gress convened emissaries from the in
surgents have been in conference with
the Democrats.
The new minority leader, Champ
Clark of Missouri, does not feel him
self bound in binding his party to any
program until he sees how the Repub-
licans will line up.
He objects to forming an alliance
with the insurgents which he fears may
eventually be broken when the major
ity of them might recognize they are
losing, and "leave the Democrats hold
ing the bag while the Republicans
would get all the glory"
The minority is willing to stand for
an amendment of the rules, it is under
stood, in accordance with the platform
of the Denver convention, but it would
like to get just as much credit as pos
sible for the reforms.

IN Los Angeles, this is a difficult prob

RUEF'S SENTENCE
AGAIN DELAYED
Dozier's Motion for Continuance OF
Two Weeks is Opposed by
O'Gara, and Judge De-
MES Request

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-The
passing of sentence on Abraham RueI'
convicted of the bribery of a super
visor to vote for a trolley franchise
for the United Railroads, was post
poned by Judge Lawlor today until
Thursday, December "a. The attor-
neys for the defense made a strong
but unsuccessful fight to secure a con-
tinuance until January 2.
Ruef was represented by Thomas b.
Dozier, who stated that Henry Ach'
leading counsel for the defense, was
so i'll that he had been unable to par
ticipate in any kind of work involved
in preparation of the motion for new
trial.
Mr. Dozier further stated the time
granted him had not been sufficient to
enable him to perfect the matter alone,
and he called the attention of the
court to the fact that minutes and
other records of the long trial were
not yet available.
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara, who represented the prosecu-
ton, opposed Dozier's motion for a
two weeks continuance, and Judge
Lawlor. after pointing out to Mr. Do

were taken from her effects, one from a
pocket Of her coat and the other from be-
meath the corners of the bed in her cell.
The one taken from her coat contained pow
dered glass The contents of the other pa
per have not yet been analysed, but it is
believed to be strychnine.
Whether Mrs. Martins fainting spell was
the result of having swallowed a similar sub
stance is not known. AS soon as she recov-
cred she denied that she had taken any
thing but in the next breath she said to
District Attorney Donahue, who was at her
side:
IT want to die. I have nothing to live for.
1 do not want to go to prison and disgrace
my son, Henry Hoffman. 1 want to die"
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-20

zier the limited grounds upon which a
motion for a new trial might be
granted set the further hearing for
next Thursday.
Mr.. Dozier made an effort to have
this time extended until next Satur-
day but the court was peremptory in
refusing the request.

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

The state has completed its first
experiment of road making with con-
Wet labor, and apparently the expert
ment was a success in every detail
The point selected was on State oRad
No. IL, in Okanogan county, the work
consisting of building wagon road
along the face of nearly perpen-
dicular rock bluff on the bank of the
Methow river The average number
of convicts employed was twenty-sev-
en-, who worked three and half
months The total amount of material
moved was 5,S29 cubic yards of solid
rock excavation and 2,425 cubic yards
of earth and loose rock excavation.
The total cost of the work was S.
O2722, which represents a profit to
the state of $5,612.S8 over the lowest
contract offer of the state was able to
secure.
In reporting to the governor, High
way Commissioner Snow says:
"The financial benefit to the public
| have shown, and it may be said that
a glance at the men who have been
employed at State Camp No. 1, shows
them hale hearty and we'll contented,

CHANGES IN LAWS WANTED.

At the session OF the county COM
missioners of the state, at which 30
were present, it was recommended
that the next legislature repeal~the
eight-hour law as it applies to county
work, pass a tire law requiring two
ton wagons to have three-inch tires,
three-ton, four-inch, and four-ton, five
inch tires, allow over $3.50 to be spent
yearly on roads and bridges, without
calling for bids, impose an annual poll
tax of So on every male citizen, make
the automobile law stricter, put coun-
ty officers on a salary and actual ex-
penses basis, compel quarantined pa
tient to pay all expenses of the quar-
antine if he is financially able to do
so, have the county engineer examine
yearly all bridges and certify to the
load they can carry, allow a county
tax to be levied for the purpose of
county advertising, and asking Con-
gress to release some of the forest
reserve and add it to Skamania coun
ty. State Horticultural Commission
er F. A. Huntley advocated the d.
vision of Washington into four dis
tricts for fruit inspection purposes,
each district being provided with a
deputy fruit inspector.

county discussed the present road law
of this state. 1t was the unanimous
decision of the meeting that the candi-
dates for the Legislature should be
made to pledge themselves for the re-
peal of the law as it is at present.
No remedy in the nature of a substi-
tute measure was suggested, but it was
stated by most of the speakers that
if no better law could be framed the
one now in the existence should be re-
pealed and the old one revived

and that. they have lost the peculiar
appearance that comes from confine-
ment in the Jail or penitentiary. The
camp has been kept in excellent san1-
tary condition; no case of sickness
occurred, and but one slight accident,
whereby a man slipped from the face
of a bluff and fractured his ankle.
Three men were paroled during the
season for good conduct, and this had
an excellent effect on those remaining.
The men furnished for this work were
not those noted at the penitentiary
for a desire to work, but under the
careful management of the chief guard
and superintendent of construction, the
men were encouraged to change their
methods, and developed into a first
class crew of workmen. They worked
regularly eight hours each day, losing
only two quarter days on account or
inclement weather or other causes,
during the three and a half months
they were at the camp. Each man
seemed to take a pride in the work,
and all of the men with whom l
conversed desired to remain in this
kind of employment. They were trust
ed to such an extent that no stripes
were worn and no irons of any de-
scription were used. In fact, one pass
ing over the work, not knowing the
character of the employees, would never
have known that it was convict crew.
1t can safely be said that the men
employed at State Camp No. 1 left
there in far better physical, mental
and moral condition than they arrived
there
