INDIANAPOLIS NEWS
ALSO MAKES REPLY
Says Roosevelt Makes Exhibition of
Towering Rage to tie Chagrin
of Naticr

Indianapolis Dec. 17.-The In
dianapolis News, edited 10y Delevan
Smith, to whom President Roosevelt
referred in his Panama statement in
connection with the New York World
makes reply to the president in the
following language:
1T is difficult to characterize fully
the latest outbreak of the president
without resorting u the use of lam
guage as undignified and blame
worthy as that which put the presi-
dents utterance in a class by itself in
tine official literature of the high Of
flee he holds. Whatever provocation
Mr.. Roosevelt may have felt pricking
his soul, nothing could justify or ex-
tenuate the torrent or invective and
virulence which he poured out In a
state paper upon the heads of private
citizens. No one in his sober senses
can fail to regard the performance as
a grave derogation to the dignity Of
the presidential station, pitiable
exhibition of toweraging rage on the
part of the chief. magistrate and the
source of humiliation and chagrin
to the entire country. II is quite i'm
possible to think of any of Mr.. Roos-
evelts long line of distinguished
predecessors that could possibly have
so far forgotten the dignities and
decencies of his exalted position as
to transmit to Congress a message
in any way comparable with that of
yesterday.
Pronunciation and bitterness of
speech are no explanation and no an
swer. Assumption that the New York
World and it's proprietor were influ-
enced by base or unworthy motives
in the publication of the reports
touching the Panama affair can not
be justified no matter who may be
the person that makes it."

the evidence upon which he based
his statement tnlt a number of House
members were principally concerned

EAGLE IS GIVEN
LONG SENTENCE
Murderer VIII Be Sent to Peniten-
tiary for Twenty Years.

Apparently happy that 1t was not
more, Dick Eagle, convicted of MUIR
der in the second degree, yesterday
afternoon accepted the sentence of
twenty years in the penitentiary with
the same logged composure with
which he watched the trial that
might have landed him at the end
of a rope had the jury not believed
that he was drunk when he shot a
Pueblo Indian boy at Bluewater last
May.
THANK you, judge" he said when
the court had finished. With this
brief remark he returned with the
deputy sheriff to the county Jail to
await the trip to Santa Fe.
few years ago Eagle worked as
a barber in a shop on South Second
street in the block south of the post
office. He claimed to be doctor
and. it is said. practiced with his
magic medicine among the native
people both here and in Oklahoma
He told Judge Abbott that hunting
vocations he had followed during his
life time. His high forehead, straight
nose and flowing black hair gave
him a queer appearance which prob
ably caused a feeling of awe among
the ignorant natives and Indians and
helped him ply his trade with gain.
The authorities OF the territory
have become convinced that Eagle is
either not right mentally or else a
fakir. He might be both. on no &C.
casion since his coming TO the terri
tory, has there been an uneXplainable
ROBBERY in the territory that Dick
Eagle has not written the authorities
that he knew where the robbers were
hiding, and that he would expose
them or that he knew where they
had hidden the money. on one or
two occasions he was successful in
getting persons to believe his wild
dreams.
Eagle claims to be a Cherokee In

rest with the Navajo Indians and 1t

considered the tribe as a whole, his
enemy. This was the cause of the
killing Of the Indian boy. for which
he was sentenced.
According to his story told on the
witness stand, he was driving alone

| evening just at sunset. An Indian

the man IL he was a Navajo. The

Constantinople, Dec. 17.-With the
meeting of the first Ottoman parlia-
ment today, Turkey formally breaks
from the despotic rule of centuries.
The sultan, who granted the constitu-
ton last July, provided for this as
sembly which paraded through the
city at the head of an elaborate cor

where he was greeted with loud cheer
ing and there was no semblance of
disorder,
The sultan opened the Parliament
in person, with elaborate ceremonies
fashioned after the customs of older
similar assemblies. The new legis-

the short lived Parliament of 1876
assmbled and the scenes were per-
haps the most remarkable in the po-
litical history of the world.
All creeds and races in the Turkish
empire sent duly elected representa-
tives and the many, vari-costumed
delegates, some in flowing silk robes
and others in fashionable frock coats
formed a gorgeous and multi-colored
picture, such as never before witness
ed In a legislative gathering in Eu-

Albanians, Syrians and Arabs were
among the Moslem representatives,
while Greeks, Armenians and Bull

countries and far-off Kurdish. Ar

So far as can be judged from sur
face indications, the new Parliament
has entered upon its duties with a
determination to carry out successful
" the aims of the bloodless revolu-
ton, which has made possible the
Inauguration of constitutional
regime in Turkey.
