RECEIVE ORDERS TO QUIT
THE KILLING OF CARABOU
At Request OF G. Rutledge congressman Steenerson
Secures Intervention Of Indian Depa rfment to Pre-
serve the Animals from determination.

Recently A. G. Rutledge of this
city obtained information of indis.
putable character to the effect that
the Indians of Red Lake agency
were killing caribou north of the
upper Red Lake, and at the rate the
Reds were going at it they were liza
able to exterminate the only herd
of these animals that is left in the
state.
Mr.. Rutledge took up the matter
with the State Game & Fish Com.
mission and also with Senator
Clapp and Congressman Stevenson,
with the result that the Indian de.
partment has issued orders to Agent
Allen at Red Lake to forbid the
Indians killing any more of the
caribou:
The letter from Senator Clapp is
as follows:

ington, Mar. 81.

Dear Rutledge:-You favor is at
hand. I will take the matter up
with the Indian office. Of course it
relates to administrative matters SO

From TIE Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Dec. 23.-Realizing that theirs is the
double task Of revising the tariff downward and at
the time raising practically million dollars a
day iu revenue by the new tariff bill. the Repub
1ican members Of the Ways and Means committee
are seriously considering the imposition OF an
port duty coffee. II has been suggested To
Chairman Payne by 4 number of Representatives,
Including Mr Hinshaw. OF Nebraska. that 2 duty
of five cents a pound be imposed as strictly reve-
nue. rate. He argues that this duty would bring
about $4,000 a year tc the Treasury. without
great Inconvenience TO the American people. At
The time ne main1ains that such tariff
would SO encourage the industry in our own pos
sessions that within a few years we would not
have to import coffee from foreign soil.
Another argument said have great weight
With the committee IS that with duty on coffee
the United States would be in a position force
concessions from foreign countries particularly
those in South ana Central America. At present
F-azl sends about HcGeAnD0 worth of coffee. in

considerable These countries seem TO prefer to
trade with Europe. and II is the desire of the
COMMITTEES 10 do what 4: TO enable American
manufacturers 10 get fair share of the world s
trade.
With over 500 pages Of testimony, voluminous
reports from the various sources at their dis

LABOR MEN, SURPRISED.
Did Not Erpect Sentence No1c in
Leaders Contempt Case.

The news that President Gompers, Vice President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison Of the American
Federation of Labor had been sentenced to i'm
prsonment by the Supreme Court Of the District
of Columbia was surprise to the federation lead
ers here The worst they expected, apparently
was that the might adjudge them guilty of
contempt in the Buck Stove and Range Company
case, leaving the sentence to be fixed later, Some
of the labor men of the opinion that the
United States Court OF Appeals would affirm the
decision of the lower court.
John Mitchell went to Washington to hear the
decision. His secretary at the National Civic Fed
Grafton said that Mr.. Mitchell had intended TO go
to the home of relatives in Spring Valley, H. 20
spend Christmas. but voluntarily went 10 Wash
ington to advise with ex-Judge Alton B. Parker,
Of New York The secretary added: They tell
that that Jail in Washington IS horrible place.
dirty and unsanitary.'
Herman Robinson, general organizer of the
American Federation of Labor. who represents
Gompers in the East. said:
L believe the effect Of the court decision will
be demand the part of not only the workers.
but of the citizens generally. for the repeal of
the under which the convictions were found. L
is law that ought to be repealed. and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor will put forth its best
efforts to it repealed. I believe the result of
the decision in the time will be that labor
will be drawn closer together and the unions will
realize. they never did before what they are
up against"
President Rosenberg of the International Wom-
ems Garment Makers Union said:
1T is perhaps good thing that this decision
has been rendered. While It is manifestly unfair
and unjust it may be the construction of the law
under which the convictions were found. If so the
law is a bad and ought to be abolished. Or
ganized labor has clear course before IT. 1t
must work for the abolition of this unfair law"
James w. Dougherty, secretary of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of BoOkbindeTs. said:
The quickest way of making unfair and bad
law so repugnant that IT must be repealed is its
enforcement. For that reason it is perhaps a
good thing after all that this decision has been
rendered People will have time to do a good deal
of thinking before the appeal is heard. and this
may sound the death knen of the unfair law
which has been invoked in this decision"

There is a particular reason for placing Secretary

Mr. Root has got things through the Senate that
