was appointed last week as Re-
ceiver for the Williston Land Of
flee is in the city and will take
charge of the Office as soon as he
receives his commission. Two ap-
pointments, that of Mr.. Williams
and Ormsby McHarg, for assist
ant secretary of commerce were
sent to the Senate last Thursday
and we're confirmed the same day.
The Washington Post, in speaking
of this says, ''The senate paid
them the unusual compliment of
confirming the appointments the
same day they were sent in.''
This was due in the case of Mr..
McFarge, to his extensive ac-
quaintance with the senator's and
in the case Of Mr.. Williams to the
fact that the North Dakota dele.
CATION was unanimous in its choice
for him for this Office.

TAFT WILL NOT
. BE A DICTATOR
PRESIDENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SAY
WHAT CONGRESS SHALL DO
WITH TARIFF.

Washington, March 29.- .-Presi-
dent Taft, it is stated, intends to
leave all congressional matters to
congress and does not intend to
dictate to that body what it shall
do. At the same time he takes
advantage of the calls by senator's
and representatives to state in re-
spOnse to their requests for sug-
positions his own position and the
policy to which he believes the re-
publican party is committed.
1t is too early in the fight, it is
said, for the president to feel
called upon to present specific
views as to the various schedules.
The broad general policy of re-
ducing the tariff on the necessi-
ties of life, the imports to 60 to
help feed and clothe the great
masses of the people, is the one
that appeals to the president and
the one which he is said to feel
hopeful. that congress will adopt.
President Taft, it is said, be-
lieves that the system of taxation
to be adopted to meet the growing
deficiency in the treasury should
be one calculated to cause the
least friction. It is for this rea-
son that he strongly favors the
inheritance tax idea. The collec-
tion of such a tax is easy and
comes from unearned money.

BILLS INTRODUCED
BY SEN. McCUMBER
NEW BILLS ON EXPERIMENT STATIONS
new IMMIGRANT LAW-PUSA
GRAIN INSPECTION Bull.

Washington, March 29.-Sena-
tor McCumber has taken steps to
push his grain inspection bill in
the present congress. His bill Of
last congress, on which he sue
ceeded in getting a favorable re-
port, he introduced in the present
session, although there is an
agreement in both the house and
the senate that no legislation
aside from the tariff and the CEN
sus bill shall be considered.
A bill of considerable impor-
tance to Fargo which Senator
McCumber will push is for the es-
tablishment of fish cultural sta
ton for Fargo. 1t is proposed to
establish it here in connection
with the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
Senator McCumber has also in
troduced a bill providing for the
inspection of immigrants destined
for the United States at ports of
departure abroad, and the issue of
certificates of health to those who
pass the examination.
Another bill passed by the
North Dakota senator, provides
for placing former presidents on
the retired lists of the army and
navy as commanders-in-chief at
$40, 900 year. He has also pre-
sented a bill extending the time
for the payment of lands under
irrigation projects from 10 to 90
years. The reason for extending
the time is that it has been found
in most cases that the cost zof in.
stalling irrigation works exceeds
500 an acre, which was supposed
to be the maximum. In the case
of the North Dakota projects the
cost has been about $35 an acre,
and it is proposed to allow the
settlers to pay this in twenty an
nual installments instead of ten.
McCumber has also introduced
bills for the establishment at Man.
dan of an experiment station fol-
the demonstration of the possibili-
ties of dry farming and for an ir.
rigation experiment station al
Williston. He has also intro
duced bills for public buildings at
Williston and Jamestown.

OKLAHOMA INDIANS
ON WAR PATH
BAND OF ONE HUNDRED CREEK N
DIANS, AAlF-BREEDS AND Ne
CR0E ON WAR PATH.

Muskogee, Okla, March %
Up to noon today there has been
no encounter between the state
militia marching upon Crazy
Snake and his band of Creek In
dians and negro allies, according
to the best information available
here. The troops were still pur-
suing the reds.
The main portion of soldiers un-
der command of Col. Roy Hoff-
man is pushing northward in
search of the chief and his men.
Several other detachmens of militia
are doing post duty and lead by
farmer scouts, familiar with the
country, are patrolling the country
for miles around Hickory camp
looking for any refugee that may
be hiding in the mountains and
timber.
Seemingly authentic reports
from Henriette and the vicinity of
Hickory camp today place the
number of bodies Of dead nergoes,
found at different points and
buried, at twenty-four. This total
it is said, makes up number of
men killed since last Thursday the
day of the first battle between the
sheriff's posse and the Indians.
Henryetta, Okla, March 81.
The report that Crazy Snake had
been captured or surrendered is
not confirmed this morning.
Col. Hoffman telephoned from
Pierce today that the rumor was
groundless. The Associated Press
obtained similar reports over the
long distance telephone from
Checotah, MuskOgee and Thomp-
son.
! Deputy Sheriff's, travelling
posses and militia under Colonel
Hoffman today resumed the search
for the Greek leader at dawn.
Colonel Hoffman's detachment
spent the night in their blankets
in the open four miles from Std
ham. The weather was damp and
chilly and huge log fires we're in
sufficient to protect them from the
cold. Col. Hoffman, when in
formed of the report that the In
dian leader had been captured ex-
pressed great surprise. The old
chief might be apprehended in
some out of the way spot by some
stray posse without his knowledge,
the colonel said, but it certainly
had not occurred within the dis
trict occupied by his troops.

Threatens Murder

Grand Forks, N. D., March 27.-
Terrorized by their fathers threat
that he would kill both of them when
he returned shortly to their home on
Bulge avenue, two children of Fred
Schneiblei hurried to the police sta
ton last night. Chief overly and
Captain Sullivan accompanied the
children to their home and arrested
the inhuman father.
+: A warrant charging him with
threatening to kill was sworn out in
Judge r. McLoughlin's court. His
hearing was set for this forenoon at
10 o'clock and he was taken to the
county Jail.
Schneiblei had been attending a
beer party at the residence of his
brother, John, and when he return
ed to his home during the evening he
told the children that as soon as he
found them asleep he would kill
them. He left the house and the chill
dren lost no time in getting to the
city hall.
The mother of the children is dead.
There are two boys, aged 16 and 8.
and girl of IA.
The police are inclined to believe
that the accused may have intended
to commit murder. He was drunk
and ugly and has been greatly feared
by his children.
