CENSUS LAW MAY
COST MANY JOBS

Washington. Aug. 24.-Upon the de-
cision Of the attorney general on a lit
tie provision in the recently passed CEN
sus bill depends the fate of 5S Of the
100 Indian schools of the country.
The provision which will work such
havoc in Indian education Is that which
prohibits the employment Of two mem
bers Of the same family in the same
department Of the government. In the
7S schools, the husband is the super
intendent and the wife is matron, and
the combined salary OF both amounts
to enough to keep them in the serv-
ice. but the salary of the husband
alone would be insufficient.
The schools would have to be discon-
tinued If the attorney general rules
that this provision OF the census bill.
refers to the Indian department of the
government. The interior department
has put the matter up to the attorney
general. stating that the two mem-
bers" provision of the bill should be
construed to refer only to the census
bureau.
All other departments Of the govern
ment are watching tho outcome Of this
attack. If the attorney general rules
that the provision refers to all depart
ments. there will be weeping and wail-
ing for hundreds will be DISCHARGED.
The department heads have been hold
ing back from wholesale discharges be-
cause they wanted ruling from the
attorney general before actinx.

SILVER SERVICE TO BE
RESTORED TO MQAK0TAn

Deadwood, S. D., Aug 26-Through
the chance visit to the armored cruiser
South Dakota last month at Mare is
land of Colonel w. ]. Thornby, Of this
city, the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance Of the silver service for the
cruiser, for which the state appro-
priated $4,000 five years ago, has been
cleared up. and the service will soon
be formally presented to the COM
mander, Captain James Thorne Smith.
Colonel Thornby was surprised at the
GOODNESS of his reception on shipboard.
1t soon developed that the officers were
smarting under fancied insult, as
Captain Smith explained that. although
the cruisers men had won signal hon
ors as expert marksmen, and had in
other ways distinguished the state for
which she was named, South Dakota
had not seen At to follow the time
honored custom of presenting its ship
with silver service.
Colonel Thornby took up the matter
with Governor Vessey and other state
officials, with the result that the miss
ing silver service was discovered last
week in a dusty nook in New York
warehouse, where, by some officials
negligence, it had been permitted to
lay unnoticed when the ship was
launched. Then the government took
hand, and now Captain Smith has
been notified that the service will be
presented at once.

the Minneapolis and st. Louis road lost
no time in communicating with Judge
