MADISON. Wis, Oct. 11.-[SpeciaI.
AS result of the investigation carried
on last week by the United States SEN
ate committee on Indian affairs, consist
ing of Senators Clapp of Minnesota, La
Toilette of Wisconsin and others. it is
certain that two recommend atoms will
be made to the Senate affecting the Win

River Falls.
One will have to do with the establish
ment of Il home for aged Indians near
Black River Falls and the other a school

district
Want Anti-Liquor Measures
In addition, it has been learned thar
residents IL the vicinity of the reser "a
ton will seek to have the Legislature
take some action that will absolutely pre-
vent the sale of liquor to the red men,
as the existing federal laws and means
for enforcing them are not adequate for
this purpose.
The committee found that as a result
of improyidence in their earlier years, as
we'll as the unscrupulousness of white
men, the aged and infrm inhabitants of
the reservation must be cared for and
suitable home for the purpose is the only
solution of the problem. There are hun
dreds of men and women on the reserva-
ton between the ages of 65 and 50
years, who are absolutely dependent
upon the government for support AS
charges on the tribe they are not prop
erly cared for.
Won't Stay on Land.
Much of the governments trouble in
its efforts to care for their reservation
charges is caused by the refusal of the
Indians to remain in one place Land has
been set apart for the tribe in Nebraska
but as soon as they get their annuities
they fall to visiting back and forth I'M
til the money is gone.
Other land was set apart for them in
Clark county, but they refuse to till the
soil. This fall, the picking of cranber-
ries having been finished, the Winnie
bagoes are doing little corn huskinE
and are preparing to roam up and down
the Mississippi with their traps.

METAL MARKING
 FOR COTTON BALES
AN INCIDENT or TME SELLERS a
 DRUM WAREHOUSE FIRE.
Only One Bsle ip So2 Co0ld Be Pssi-
 lively Identified.

A convincing argument of the imme- diate and pertinent necessity of the adoption by cotton warehousemen and owners and growers of some individ- ual distinguishing mark or tag to bt attached to each bale of cotton, is de- veloped in the recent fire at the ware house of Sellers 6 Drum in this city.
 At that fire, 3s3 bales of cotton were either totally or partially destroyed |. With the burning of the bales the pa per and ink marks upon the cove ringg were totally obliterated, so completely in fact, that any Identification of any bale as the property of a particular in- dividual has become . matter impossi- bie of performance. with the exception ot only one very badly burned bale which bore a metal mark used by the Farmers Gin and Warehouse Company of this city,
 And the situation is not one that pos- sesses isolated features. In many cases where cotton iS destroyed. either wholly or partially. in fires. much of r. Is uninsured. In the case Of the Sel- lers & Drum fire, all of the cotton burned. with the exception of this onS bale. has passed beyond the possibility of Identification and one-third of 1t iF uninsured.
 Much the same situation Is precip-
 
 where a quantity of cotton was burnec ana practically totally destroyed. Any attempt at Identifying this cottor stored In the warehouse that was con. surned Is certain to come to naught be- cause of the absence of metal distin- gushing marks that were imperviouF to the intense heat generated by the fire.
 So the question of using such msriSv comes pertinsntly before wareho ouse- men and owners. There are a nuTnber of Ideas on the subject. and the most reasonable seems to be the afaxing or tag of metaTic construction in such A manner to each bale that 1t cannot he separated from It through the agen- cy of intense heat The tag must alse be of a quality of metallic alloy that win not melt or become defaced ever when subjected to a most intense heat or course. the tag must bear 0n itF surface some marks that indicate the particular owner of the bale.
 It is proposed to introduce at the next session of the Legislature of Ala ha ma. and the Idea Is proposed for other cotton States. a bill prohibiting the storage of cotton without metal distinguishing marks on each bale.

JEFFERSON CONSIDERED SAFE

Seven weeks remain of the heated campaign for and against the amend. ment. The end of last week marked the end of the first half of the cam paign, which, however. Is not enough fer the fight to be on it's final week.
 The light Is gradually shifting tc North Alabama, and from now on the northern section of the State will bs more a battle ground than South and Middle Alabama. Headquarters in Bir- mingham have been energetically at work and the anti-amendfnent forces in North Alabama now are about as well organzed as In South Alabama.
 Manager Lee Long will 70 to Btr. mingham this evening. In the future he expects to spend more time in Bir- mingnam than In Montgomery. The North Alabama fight, however. will be made largely outside of Jefferson County, because one of the most ae- tive and energetic campaign commit tees of either side Is the Antf-Amend- ment Committed. headed by Judge J. H Miller. On account of the strength of the old prohibition organization in Jefferson County. a hard and close light is expected there. But the committee has been at work, the county has been canvassed and Jefferson is considered one of the absolutely safe countiee against the amendment. Some mem- bers of the committee expect Jefferson to give a larger majority than Mont. goery County will roll up against the amendment.
 Hon. Emmett ONeal reached Mont goniery last nignt from Mobile. where he engaged Saturday night in a debate with Judge s. D. weakley. MT. O'Nea' was pleased with the meeting and with the results of the debate. He was ac- companied as far as Greenville by Judge weakley, who stopped there with the understanding that he was to speak last night. Mir. O'Neai will ge to Tuskesee this morning. where he will address the voters of Macon Coun- ty. After the speaking. he will drive across the country to Union Sprngs where he will speak tonight.
 Hon. T. M. Stevens of Mobile. spent yesterday in Montgomery. He came in from Phenix City, where he spoke Saturday night with former Congress- man J. F. Stallings. They had ! packed house and Mr. Stevens said that it was one of the most enthusiastic an diences he ever saw. Mr. Stevens will speak today at Greenville. He WAS assured by local leaders that Lee County would return strong naajor- ity against the amendment.
