Secretary Garfield Reports on Land
Business of Five Tribes.

Washington, D. C.-The annual re-
port of James r. Garfield, secretary Of
the interior, was made public Monday.
Most interesting of rs contents to the
people of the southwest is the lengthy
discussion and defense of the govern
ment's action in handling the lands of
the five civilized tribes of Indians on
which the congress removed r~estric.
tions. The secretary of the interior
makes clear his belief that unless the
attitude Of the department had been
just what it was thousands of Indians
would have been cheated out of their
holdings, or given but little in return
for the values they held.
The secretary discusses pension pay
ments, statehood for New Mexico, to
indorse it, conservation of our natural
resources, the personnel of the gen
eral land office force and every other
phase of activity under his depart
ment.

Labor Leader, In Eederationist, De-

Washington, d. C.-Tn an editorial
In the Jenuary issue of the American
Federationist Samuel Gompers refers
to the alleged abuse Of the injunction
power by the courts, points to the in

ers' in the presid ent's message. 1t
does not call for much d~iscernment
to infer to whom the president directs
his abuse. 1t is doubtful that any
president of the United States in an
official message to congress ever be-
for descended to such misrepresenta-
ton and vilifcation of individual cit
liens as Mr.. Roosevelt has in his last
annual message.
President Roosevelt absolutely mis-
represents the attitude of certain
leaders of organized labor in his
sweeping denunciations. He Ices this
knowingly and willfully.
Mr.. Roosevelt can not quote, for he
can no find, any violent and sweep
ing attack upon the entire judiciary
Of the country which he charges the
men of labor with making.
The fact is that no representative
of labor made any attack upon any
individual, Judge or the judiciary as
such. We leave such f%ulminations to

SLEUTHS IN GRAFT PROBE.
Private Agency in Minneapolis Ac-
oused of ~Blackmailing ~Saloonists.

Minneapolis, NINA big extor-
ton scandal is promised Minneapolis.
Startling revelations are said to be due
when the January grand jury settles
down to probing extortion charges
against William Baxter, head of the
Baxter Detective Agency; Harry G.
Blanchard and William Kidder, the
latter two being private detectives,
former employees of Baxter.
Frank T. Corriston, superintendent
of police, has been investigating the
case personally and is convinced
wholesale business of extorting money
from saloon men and others has been
carried on.
Corriston says that more than q
score or saloon Iaen tactitly admitted
they have been approached for money
in return for immunity from arrest for
alleged violations of the law.

DISCOVER NEW PLANT.
It Is Of the Major Class and Is Beyond
Neptune.

London, Eng.-News that the ex-
istence of a new major planet moving
in an orbit beyond that of Neptune
has been announced on the authority
of Photographic evidence by Prof.
Pickering of Harvard observatory has
been received by the Solar Physics
observatory at South kensington. The
last two major planets, Uranus and
Neptune, were discovered in 1871 and
1916, respectively.
Neptune has hitherto been regarded
as the outermost major planet of the
solar system. The new planet is said
to be at present in the constellation
Gemini, which, %curiously enough, is
the same constellation in which Will
liam Herschel discovered the planet
Uranus.

Sickened by Stencil.

>''S
Already the stencil of decaying flesh
has made many of the sick
and carrion birds are seen lowering
over the towns, whose streets are piled
with bodies. The government is Thurs
day considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
issuing an imperative order to burn
every body. 1t is feared If the bodies
are buried, the work will be done so
hastily that the trench graves will
soon be opened and a plague result. A
message from Palermo Thursday says
that refugees arriving there report
that the town of Scylia, on Scylla
Rock, opposite the Charybdis whirl-
pool, has disappeared, not even the
site of the town remaining.
The town has a population of
5000.
But a few thousand more added to
the inconceivable death list no longer
affects the people. They are simply
stupefied at the awful figures and
realize that the calamity is one of the
worst In the worlds history.
The futility of trying to estimate ac-
~curately the number of dead is as APP
parent as on the day following the
quake. 1t will be a week before any
estimate even approXimating the
exact figures can be made.
Robbers Get 100000.
Robbers are said to have stolen
s. 1000, 900 from the wrecked vaults
of the bank of Sicily in Messina.
Despite the efforts of Ambassador
Griscom's representatives to find the
bodies of A. S. Chney, the American
consul and his wife, are still among
the countless number who lie buried
beneath the muntain of wreckage.
More than $5,000,000 has already
been subscribed for the relief of the
sufferers and this amount will prob
ably be doubled before the end of the
week. This sum, with the relief meas.
ures proposed by the special session
Of parliament will do all that human
aid can do to soften the cruel blow.
