AN ARREST.
Why a Moscow Student Was Sent to
Siberia for Twenty Years.

Six armed men trudged through the
slush of the Moscow streets one morn
ing before sunrise. They spoke no
word to one another. but walked
equably and heavily down the centre
of the road, and there was no sound
but the smash of their footballs in the
slush The city was hushed, the gray
night sky was spread out over the
roofs and the dark upper stories look
ed enigmatically down.
In the Bronnaya the leader of the
men called halt and gave some in
structions. They were standing be-
fore the closed door of a high house
of dark green color. The night

Scientific GUESSING.

Lord Kelvin, half a century ago, put
forth the opinion that the age of the
earth might be anywhere from 20,000,-
900 To 400,000,00O years; but later in
life he cut his maximum estimate
down to 4O,0OO,O0O years. Seventeen
years ago Dr. WalcOtt of the Smith
sonian institution, reckOned that our
globe was probably 70,0OO,0O0 years old.
Prof. Jolly, eleven years ago, estimated
the age of the sea at S0,0O0,0O0 years;
while Solas quite lately reckoned that
"Old ocean" had rolled over its sandy
bed for a period anywhere between
so, 900 900 and 15O,OOO,OOO years. And
now our geological survey professors,
having found the same problem of the
earths antiquity wholly beyond their
skill. have resorted to scientific guess

That was fourteen years ago, and they
have just wound up the matter. IN
deed, there are some cases not yet
settled.
Mansfield & McMurray of McAlester
set forth to the Five Nations that
somebody had to he employed to keep
off the rolls the names of persons who
were not really of their tribes. The
Indians agreed-poor, muddled, badg-
cred. harried tribes that wanted Moth
ing but to he let alone.
Now, it was the business of the gov
ernment to attend To this. and so Ethan
Allan Hitckcocks' secretary of the
interior, said afterward in no uncer-
tain fashion, but the government
didn't do anything about it, and Mans
field e. McMurray proceeded to push
people off the rolls. They got $40 a
head for pushing, or something like
that. Anyway, the bill amounted to
s75O,OOO.
Indians Pay All Bills.
There was a protest. McMurray and
others were indicted, and then the in
dictments were dismissed. The In
dians paid that bill, as they have paid
various others.
Also they paid sometimes for getting
on the rolls. Occasionally the fee was
so per cent of all they had. Taking it
by and large, there has seldom been so
satisfactory a carnival from the graft
er's point Of view.
There was talk of reopening this
rich view and looking over the rolls
the other day, but even the Indians
have learned the trick now, and they
presented a petition saying that they
have already spent over $1,OOO,OOO de-
Tending themselves against fraudulent
claims of citizenship in the Five Ma
tions and they would prefer to have
the matter rest as quietly as it can.
They add. with some natural bitter
ness, that had the question of decid-
ing on Indian blood been left to the
Indian courts it would have been set
tied more swiftly and justly.
When the announcement was made
that homesteads would he sold at one
half the assessed value of the land,
two lots to each person, there was an
other rush to profit by the graft. The
land had been Indian land, half a mil
lion acres in all, and it was offered on
these terms to encourage civilization
to take a nice long step and settle in
Oklahoma.
Laws Easily Evaded.
Any man who wanted to speculate in
land got a certain number of men at
home, tramps or friends-anybody-to
give him their power of attorney,
then to Oklahoma without delay; two
lots for him, please, and two lots for
his friends whose power of attorney
he showed.
Sometimes a man would get several
hundred lots in this fashion. He would
sell, and, if the graft was discovered.
where was the CRATER?
The commissioner OF Indian affalrS.
Robert C. Valentine. put the case
pithily the other day:
1t is possible to do only one of two
things with the Indians-to eXtermi-
nate them or to make them into citi-
Zens. Whichever we choose should be
done in a businesslike way. If we
choose determination we should do it
suddenly, painlessly and completely,
but instead of frankly engaging in that
course the country has set itself to
make the Indians into citizens. 1t has
no business to bungle this job as 1t
Is now doing any more than If the
course of determination were now 70
