The blowing of the ram 8 horn on

the opening of the Jewish new year.
Just 8. .G6s years before that date.
according TO Jewish chronology, the
work OF creation began.
The day IL observed as festival in
accordance with the biblical injunction
~ infinitely outlined In the Mosaic
code which was inspired by God dur
in the meeting between God and Moses
on Mount Sinai. The day bears three
names The New Year. Day of Memoir

WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE
Finnish Temperanos Organizations Gould
Not Agree on Plan at 500 Meeting

Jacob Kaminen. secretary OF the
National Finnish Brothers Temperance
association. who attended the meeting
OF representatives of the several Finn
ish Temperance national organizations
of the country held recently at Sault
Ste. Marie for the purpose of consider
ing the advisibiIity, OF consolidating
all OF the societies under one manage
ment, has returned home. Mr.. Kan
inen has been in poor health this sum
mer and at the conclusion OF the meet
ing at the 500 went 10 Canada TO rest
for few days. No agreement was
reached at the 500 relative to the pro-
posed consolidation. The officers and
members of the Finnish Brothers as
sociation want TO consolidate with
other societies. but inasmuch rs their
organization is by far the largest and
oldest In the country they will not
consent to a change in the name. The
matter was discussed at some length
at the 500 meeting and IL was finally
decided to defer action, but ID is under
stood that the several organizations
will consider the plan at their ANIMAL
meetings next year.
Mr.. Kaminen said that the talk of
removing the headquarters of tire Fin
nish Brothers Temperance association
from Ishpeming to Sault Ste. Marie
has very little foundation. The ques-
tion of making Sault Ste. Marie the
headquai ters of the combined organi-
cations In the event OF the consolida.
tion was talked of, but Mr. Kaminen
says tnat the members of the society
that he represented would not agree tC
proposition of that kind and in all
probability its headquarters will re
main here for an indefinite time.

1 Washington, April 3G.-After Sena- 1 tor Davis had drawn the teeth of his resolution, which bristled with fangs calculated 10 bite deep into the repu- tation of the late secretary of the in ! terlOr, Hitchcock, the senate adopted It yesterday. lt calls on the present secretary of the interior to send to the senate information relating to the lands of the Choetaws and Chicka- saws in Oklahoma, which have for d long time been the object of legisla. tive and lobby buffetting and which. in a general way, have been fat pick ing for many lawyers. and, if reports could be substantiated, for men hold
 ing office.
 Senator Davis resolution as orig.- nally drafted and introduced practic- ally accused the former secretary of grossly unlawful facts, or. at least, conntenancing such acts.
 Davis spoke to this resolution this afternoon. simplifying it's allegations later to offer a substitute resolution which was mlder and merely asked for information, as to whether or not rights had been denied certain Indian claimants who have negro blood and and whether the government, through Hitchcock, withdrew from the lands of the two tribes 1,300,000 acres to ere ate forest reserve or game pre- serve.

The promoters of the Davis resoiu- ton, likewise, have alleged corruption by officers who have resisted the ad- yancement of the claims herein inyoly- ed and have claimed that certain of the officials grew rich from denying the reports of the denied claimants, receiving money of valuable private privileges and fayors from members of the tribes whose reports recognized, and who, by excluding the present claimants, would thereby receive pro pOrtionately more of the common tri- bal lands and property.

l tribes. X number of enormous attor- neys' fees have been collected by law yers representing here the tribes, one amounting to nearly S1,000,000. Money has flowed, it has been alleg- , ed and fat fees have been offered from time to time 10 members of both houses of the congress to induce them to champion the legal causes of the lobbyists. The Indian committees have been besieged with lawyers, and extensive hearings have been had at which hundreds of pages of testimony have been given.
 Charge Wholesale Fraud.
 Senator Davis today presented the familiar allegations of certain of the lobbyists, the truth of which cannot be guessed until either corr0boration or refutation shall have been had. Davis charges, as the lawyers have often charged, that thousands of pages of the testimony taken by the officers in Indian Territory affected the re- ports of ChoctaWs and Chickasaws, were &Gne over here in a few days by clerks in the Interior Department, and that thousands of claims of In dians were thrown out illegally.
 The value of the contested claims by the Indians runs into millions of dollars and the attorneys for the con- testants, for whom Davis speaks, have contracts with the claimants aggre- gating several millions of dollars of fees 10 be collected if they succeed in establishing the rights of the claim. ants.
 The senator charged that former Secretary Hitchcock had prevented 10000 persons Of Indian blood from being enrolled. He instanced a fam fly of 10 persons, only one of whom had been enrolled as an Indian, the remaining nine being chased as ne- groes.
