EXPOSES BIG GRAFT
WARNS AMERICANS NOT TO BITE ON SPAN

BEWARE OF DARLING DAUGHTER
Also Con6de No Money to Bogus Priest to Re.
gain yalise Of Dying Political Prisoner.

The Department of State, at Wash.
ington, has received report from the
American Consul-General at BARGE
Iona, Spain, in regard to the band Of
swindlers operating in various towns
and cities in Span. who make prac
tice of writing to persons in the Unit
ed States respecting the Imprisonment
of relative and the guardianship of
child.
The Consul General states that the
alleged prisoner generally describes
himself as political prisoner from
Cuba; he is at the point Of death and
has but one friend-the prison priest
through whose good Offices he is en-
abled to smuggle an occasional letter
out of the prison fort.
The prisoner is rich. He has a
fortune in cash on deposit in the
United States. but the certificate of
deposit is concealed in a secret
receptacle of his valise; the valise
itself has been taken possession of
by the court at Cathagena, which
tried and condemned him, and will be
held until the prisoner or his repre-
sentative has satisfied the costs of the
trial. The prisoner has an only
daughter; dying in his prison, his sole
thought is of this beloved offspring.
He has no friend or relative in Spain
to whose care he can commit her. In
this emergency his thoughts turn to
the distant relative in the United
States whom he has never seen and of
whom he knows only through hearsay
or the family tree. Will the distant
relative assume the guardianship Of
the darling daughter. and the darling
daughters fortune of about $50, 000?
If the distant relative accepts the
trust one fourth of the prisoners en-
tire fortune will be the material re-
ward. The good priest will go at
once to the United States and take
the darling daughter with him. There
is but one condition; the ready money
which the prisoner brought with him
to Spain has been exhausted; the dis.
tant relative is therefore requested t.
send enough to liberate the valise con

OF DEPENDENT WARDS OF
UNCLE SAM

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 2O.-After
Albert K Smiley had opened the
twenty-seventh annual meeting of the
conference of friends of the Indians
and other dependent peoples, Elmer
Ellsworth Brown, commissioner OF
education for the United States, was
made president. Brown made a brief
address on his work among the Alas
ka Indians, after which R. G. Valen-
tine, commissioner of Indian affairs,
delivered an interesting address. Mr..
Valentine said in part:
"The people of the United States
ought to know certain things about
their Indian bureau. They know to-
day too little about the two fundamen-
tai principles in the light of which
all the multiform activities of the In
dian service fall into well ordered ar
ray in an advance toward a single
goal In the minds of most people
the Indian service is a mere hodge
podge of activity. Indians are going
to this or that kind of school. be-
Ing allotted, raising stock, working
in the woods, learning to irrigate,
drawing per capita payments in some
cases and rations in others, owning
bank accounts of all sizes from few
dollars to many thousands, going to
church and engaging in pagan rights,
dealing shrewdly with traders or be-
coming an easy mark for them, devel-
oping all kinds of diseases, getting
drunk and even keeping sober, loafing
and making some of the best work
men the United States possesses. All
these various activities are kept in
further confusion by the KALEIDOSCOPE
ic charges introduced by the rapidly
developing economic and social life of
the white people scattered more and
more around and through the Indian
country.
This apparent chaos in Indian af-
fairs is only true superficially. 1t is
necessary for the people at large to
understand what the fundamental

BOARD OF HEALTH REvOKEs
LICENSE OF CARNIVAL COMPANY

Acting for what It believes to be
the best interests Of public health
and in order to guard against pos.
sible epidemic which might result
from the assemblage of large bodies,
the board of health of East Las We
gas held special meeting at the city
hall this morning and decided to re-
woke the license granted the Nat Reiss
Street Carnival company, two weeks
ago by the city council, permitting ii
to show here next week.
The temperance of scarlet fever
in both East and West Las Vegas is
primarily responsible for the action
taken. While the disease has in no
sense reached the epidemic, stage,
there being but few cases, at the same
time determined steps have been tax
en- by the health authorities to prevent
the spread of this disease, which usu-
ally assumes a malignant form.
The several cases which now exist
have been quarantined and the ply
sicians seem to have the disease well
in hand. While no alarming results
are anticipated, the board Of health
thought it best to guard against any
possible danger and hence decided to
forbid the appearance of the street
carnival here.
So long as the disease Is under con-
troll, as is the case at present, it will
not be necessary to close either the
schools or the moving picture thea
ters.
The Commercial club at meeting
last night adopted a resolution advis-
ing that immediate steps be taken to
stamp out the contagion and pledging
its assistance in every way possible
to accomplish this end.

ty commissioners this morning action

New York, Oct. 2O.--Mrs. Frances

When the news was broken to Mrs.

Batonyi was also given divorce,
he naming eleven correspondents. In
the present suit Mrs. Batonyi orginal-

AMERICAN PULLMAN Conductors I
in mexico TO BE REPLACED

Monterey, Mex, Oct. 20.-It is learn
ed from a representative of the Pull
man company that radical changes in
the service of that company in Mex
leo are imminent, chief Of which will
be the change of all men in that ser
vice to Mexicans. ousting both the
American conductors and the negro
porters and walters. 1t is said this
change will take place within the next
two months, as soon as Mexican men
may be trained to hold the various
positions.
The American conductors now in
the service are said to be making
strenuous objections to the new pro-
gram, as they are receiving about $40
per month more for running in this
country than across the border, and
now, If assigned to other runs in the
United States, will receive smaller
salary and that after having trained
others to fill their positions.
Various reasons are assigned for
this radical move, but 1t is generally
conceded the substitution of Mexicans
is following orders from the railroad.
which is fast ousting every American
possible from Its service, having
gone so far as to establish number
OF railroad training schools of various
centers for the instruction Of Mexi-
cans in all branches Of railroad WORK..

was taken looking towards the ap-
pointment of a county health officer,
and the trustees at an informal
meeting last night on the West side
named committee, to call upon the
merchants and solicit funds looking
to the stamping out of the contagion.
The resolution adopted by the city
board of health at it's meeting this
morning follows:

The board of health met at 10 o.
clock in the city hall and passed the
following resolution:

vent the assemblage of large bodies

Therefore, be it resolved, That the

principles governing the bureau. are
lin, order TO assist in bringing them
Ito the surface and to demand of the
Indian bureau and of congress their
intelligent and forceful application
Continuing, Mr. Valentine said that
the Indian service was today wide
open to the whole country for inspeo
tion. He said it was impossible for
him to hear and see all the good and
all the bad in the service personally,
and that 1t was necessary for congress
! to give him to this end corps of
thirty competent inspectors with the
necessary qualifications. Real SUI
perintendents also were needed.
These superintendents should be big
men, for Indian affairs above all is
La human business. and to get good
men adequate salaries must be paid.
1T is possible to do only two things
with the Indians" Mr.. Valentine
went on, to exterminate them or
make them into citizens. Our pres
ent course Is cross between exter-
mination and citizenship. If we
would escape disgrace greater than
any which has attended this Indian
business yet we must stop at the be-
ginning of this twentieth century
and think clearly about the Indians
and set ourselves resolutely to GER
tain clean and high courses. The
whole American people must do this
thinking, and this course which the
thinking Of all the people will make
clear demands of us more than would
be demanded in the case of the back
ward among our own people, or in
the case Of the immigrant"
Mr.. Valentine then declared that
the Indian today was not yet ready
to live under perfectly constructed
and highly developed irrigation sys-
tenn. He must first be given instruc.
tion from which he can see results.
and in this way in one year many
Indians could be taught to use a
highly developed irrigation system,
who without that preliminary, train
ing would forever fail.
The commissioner then touched up.
on the health of the thirty thousand
Indians in the United States. He
said that tuberculosis and diseases of
the blood should not be permitted
to creep in among those peoples, and
that liquor must be kept away from
them. What is the use of manned
and poisoned Indian? he asked. There
should be an unexcelled Indian medi-
cal service.
Referring to education, Mr.. valen-
tine said all Indians should be taught
to speak the English language, to
read easily, to speak effectively, to
write clearly, and to figure easily
