CUT SALARY OF
CABINET JOB.
Reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000 Per Year.
FOR The BENEFIT OF KNOX.
Owing to Question AS to the Right
Of Senator Knox to be a Cabinet
Member at Increased Salary, Under
Constitution, Change is Made.

Washington, Feb 1.-THE senate
committee on judiciary today con
cluded to reduce the salary of the sec.
rotary of state to $4,000 per year in
order to enable Senator Knox to hold
that position in the Taft cabinet.
Much discussion has been aroused
over the question as to whether Sena-
tor Knox of Pennsylvania. chosen as
secretary of state in the Taft cabinet,
was eligible under the constitution to
accept the office. Attention has been
called to section vi, article l of the
constitution, which reads: "No SEN
ator or representative shall, during the
time for which he was elected be
appointed to any civil office under the
authority of the United States, which
shall have been created, or the emol-
uments thereof shall have been in
creased during such time"
During Mr.. KnoX's present term as
senator the salaries of all cabinet of
tcers were increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. His term does not eX-
pire until March 3, 1911, two years
after the time when his name would
be sent by Mr.. Taft to the senate for
confirmation.
The only precedent recalled in a
similar case was that of the late Sen
ator Ransom of North Carolina, who
was appointed by President Cleveland
to be minister to Mexico, the emolu-
ments of which office was raised while
Mr.. Ransom was a member of the SEN.
ate. The comptroller of the treasury
held that Senator Ransom could not
become minister to Mexico.

CHIEF LOOKS LIKE REAL MONEY.
Hollow Horn Bear Of Rosebud at In
dian Bureau Asking Annuities.

Chief Hollow Horn Bear, who dur
ing the Dallas rush touched Judge
Wtten for the loan" of five" and
found his own picture on the bill, is
back in Washington asking for $4,000
copies of his picture on S. certificates.
The stay of Chief Hollow Horn Bear
and his brother chiefs in the capital
is treated as follows in a dispatch
sent out yesterday by Washington
newspaper correspondent:
An Indian who looks like real ready
money has come to Washington. His
name is Hollow Horn Bear and he is
the chief orator of the Rosebud Sioux
tribe of South Dakota.
Hollow Horn Bear is reputed to be
the handsomest and most typical In
dian in the country, and that's why he
looks like ready money. His picture
adorns the So silver certificate. 1t was
put there because the connoisseurs in
Indian beauty regarded him as the
finest Indian now eXtant.
Hollow Horn Bear is fifty-nine years
old and as straight as an Indian ought
to be. He hasn't gray hair in his
head and there is enough hair to make
mattress. In addition to being beauti-
full, Hollow Horn Bear is long with the
white mans game" as he calls the
art of conversation. In truth, he has
most white men dashed securely to the
bowsprit and the ship sinking head on,
when it comes to the art of talk. He
comes every once in a while to talk a
few hundred thousand out of the
stOny-hearted bureau of Indian affairs.
That's what he wants on the present
trip.
The bureau has been holding out on
his tribe some 100000 of money which
the tribe thinks ought to be distributed
to minor children. 1t represents part
payment for the lands of the Rosebud
reservation, the department maintain
ing that it would be waste of the
money to turn over their shares to the
minor children. The law, however,
provides for the distribution, and the
Indians want the cash. Hollow Horn
Bear hopes to take home about $4,000
copies of his picture on the s. certifi-
Gates.
Along with Hollow Horn Bear is a
delegation of Sioux, one of whom is
Chief Good Voice. Oddly enough, Good
Voice is no orator at all; he grunts oc-
casionally, but Hollow Horn Bear does
the talking. Reuben Quick Bear High
Pipe, John Colombo, Eagle Horse and
Stranger Horse are the others of the
delegation.
Colombo is thrifty aborigine. He
owns more land than he can tell about.
The government gave him GAO acres,
his wife 800, and each child 100 acres,
and Colombo has never got far
enough in mathematics to be able to
figure all he holds in the family. He
lives on twenty-acre piece at the
corner of his estate, and rents the rest
to white men. white man works for
me-" he says disdainfully as he cranks
up the carburetter of his auto; for he
owns and drives a machine.

PosTPoNT OREGON TRAIL BILL
Nebraska Legislature Indefinitely De-
lays Its Conside Grafton.

Lincoln, Feb. 1.-THE house today
indefinitely postponed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 to mark the Oregon
trail through Nebraska.
For the first time of the session the
lie was passed in the house. Repre-
sensitive Clark of Richardson handed
it to his Democratic brother, Taylor.
of Custer.
A warm debate on the railroad bill
which aims to regulate the size of
trains and the number of men to a
crew brought the trouble.
Clark has a bill of his own, which
he wants to use to supplant for the
one that has been under consideration.
He was arguing at length on the sub
to offer represents the ideas of the
railroad employees.
Taylor got the floor and turned in
to roast the Richardson county man
impugning his motive and charging
that he had shown a disposition, in
committee room and out, to act oppo-
site to the principles of the party.
Taylor declared fatty that Clark was
not following out pledges of the plat
form on which he had been elected.
Clark jumped to his feet.
Raising his voice, Clark impassion-
ately cried:
1T al a-lie.'
Following this declaration, Taylor
was silent. Members all over the
house jumped up. There were cries
of "Sit down, sit down" Clark did sit
down.
Taylor, from his place, made the
statement that his remarks were based
on his observations and that if he was
wrong he was ready to apologize.
Clark did not reply and that was as
far as the matter went
The bill is still in the air, having
been left unsettled by the sudden show
of temper

a busy one in society as there has been
two very pretty affairs. The first given

day evening Mrs. T. c. Horribly gave an
Indian pow WOW, entertaining thirty
three ladies and gentlemen all dressed

air was pierced every once in a while
by a war cry that would have done
credit to any native. Charles
Sparks as an Indian chief was a sure
success and Mrs. Levi Sparks as a
squaw was fine. While all the guests
present were finely made up, the above
two were credited as the best A very
pretty luncheon was served with the
