The Navajo Indian Decision.


The statement Of Acting Indian Com

Indians Rights Maintained" warrant:
a further statement of the case.
The supreme court of Arizona on the
ed instant reversed the district court OF
that territory in a petition for writ OF
habeas corpus by holding that Indians
are entitled to the protection Of law II
like manner with other persons.
The case relates to several Navajo In.
dams who were taken into custody BY
the United States troops In October 1907
and ordered by the commissioner OF In
dian affairs to be confined In Fort Hua.

nate terms of Imprisonment.
No charges were filed in any court OF
law against these Indians, they being
deprived Of their liberty by the arbitrary
order of the commissioner of Indian af.

These Navajos were peacefully sleeping
in their hogans when they were sur.
prised by the soldiers at daybreak an6

the Indians. and If they were charged
with wrongdoing the courts of the terri
tory were open to the officials of the

measures could have been taken against
them. alike with other residents Of tho
territory. The investigation that followed
shows that no firearms were found in
the hogans of the head men taken into
custody, and only two or three old mus
kets and knives in the surrounding no
gans The chief complaints made by the
Official Of the Indian school service were
that the Navajos opposed schools, were
guilty Of misdemeanors and trouble
makers, but even these charges were not
filed against them in any court.
After appealing in vain to the govern.
ment to grant fair trial to these In.
dams or release them. the Indian Rights
Association instituted habeas corpus pro.
ceedings in their behalf. In reversing
the judgment Of the district court, the
supreme court of the territory upheld the
doctrine laid down by United States Dis
trict Judge Dundy Of Nebraska, in the
celebrated case of Standing Bear. Ponca

Johnson Was Suspected.

In view of the fact that there had been
a number of thefts of small articles of
jewelry in this house during the last few
months, Mr.. Tryon came to the conclusion
that the time was ripe to make effort
to catch the thief. Johnson was suspected
OF knowing something about the articles,
and ii was determined TO watch him.
Yesterday MIR. Tryon concluded tn on
gage detective to watch for the thief.
Paresi was sent up to the apartment
house. He went to the building about
s O'Clock. accompanied by Mr.. Tryon.
When he was taken up to Mr.. Kemp y
apartments Mrs. Unger was told what
he had come for and was directed to
spend the evening ont and let her de-
parture he known to the servants in the
house. She did this by going down the
rear elevator, which was operated by
Johnson. In going down she told Johnson
she was going out, and that she would
not he back until 10 o'clock.
Paresi was left in charge of the apart
ment without the knowledge OF anybody
in the building except Mr.. TryOn and
Mrs. Cnger. the housekeeper.
Paresi's experience was told as he lay
on a cot in the emergency ward of Flow
Ell Hospital at 63d street and Avenue \

BERGEN WILL TEST
MANY FIRE PLANTS
Advisory Engineer of the Civic
League to Tour the East in
Quest of Information

Francis P. Bergen, associated with
Winfield s. Williams, and one of the
advisory engineers of the Civic league,
is to be sent on a tour of the eastern
states by that organization, in order
that he may study the fire systems
throughout the country and use his
knowledge to assist San Francisco
when the real work of installing this
citys system is begun.
Bergen will visit Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Buffalo, Boston, Cleveland, Phila-
delphia, Brooklyn, New York, Hartford,
Baltimore, Newark, Providence, Wor-
cester and Washington, besides foun-
dry towns in Alabama and Lynn, Mass.
At the latter city the steam turbines
to be used in the salt water pumping
stations are being constructed and Ber-
gen will be present at their testing.
He also Will investigate the construc-
tive value of the turbines, and at the
towns of Alliston, Bessemer and Birm-
ington, Ala, and Chattanooga, Tenn,
where the United States pipe founding
company are making the cast iron pipe
for the 80 miles of system. to inquire
into the manner, of construction and
the materials used.
New York and Brooklyn began oper-
ating their new water systems about
three months ago. and Bergen expects
to find these cities in the midst of
problems that will educate San Fran
cisco.
A prominent feature of Bergen's in
vestigation will relate to the action Of
electric currents upon cast iron and
other pipe.

There arrived here yesterday from
the far east a youthful scion of the
money laden house of Rothschild. He
is the yougest son of Baron Albert
Rothschild, the head Of the Vienna
branch of the family. He registered as
a passenger on the Nippon Maru under
the name of Carl Rotsburg, but took
pains early in the voyage to explain
that he was the son of the richest man
in Austria. and that he travelled in
cognito because it was the proper thing
for a titled youngster to do. When
the liner arrived here his name ap-
peared on the passenger list as Baron
Rothschild.
GUARDED BY CAPTAIN
Young Rothschild is 90 years old
and is travelling around the world in
charge of Captain Schwickert of the
Austria army who was directed by
the baron to take the boy out into the
world and make a man of him. BY
way of doing this the captain took his
young charge into the jungles of India.
where he played T. r. with the wild
beasts. He killed several tigers ana
a few leopards. The captain allowed
