Indians Would REGISTER.

LIE Beau, S. D.-The registration
office here was invaded by band
of ITO Indians. The Spokesman ex-
planned that they had come to regis
ter and that they had already selected
their land alon gthe extension of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad. The
officer in charge of the registration
was nonplussed for time, but finally
announced that the Indians colud not
register unless they had decided to
leave their tribe.
1t took long time to explain just
what their rights were, and while the
chief was discussing the matter with
registration officials, the band stood
around in stolid silence. When the
chief told them the terms under which
they could register, there were grunts
of disapproval and the band slowly
filed out.

ALLEeE A MURDER PACT.

Manila.-Thirty-si leaders of the
striking cigarmakers were arrested
here charged with criminal conspiracy.
This action is the result of the
unionized cigarmakers striking for
higher wages after the Payne tariff
bill went into effect. Several serious
riots have taken place.
The complaint on which the leaders
were arrested includes a recitation of
the alleged blood pact that was signed
by the strikers.
This was an oath each was required
to take stating that If they betrayed
the cause their brothers had the right
to kill them without responsibility to
the authorities.
