INDIANS
DON'T LIKE
CENCUS man
PENDLETON INDIANS TO HOLD
PoW-WoW AND TAKE ACTION
AGAINST THE ENUAIERATORS
OFFICERS MAY BE CALLED
TO SCENE OF TROUBLE.

Pendleton, Ore, April 25.--In-
formation to the effect that chiefs Of
the various bands of Umatilla In
dians have sent out runners to the
different settlements calling for
council to take action against the
census enumerators at work on the
reservation has caused a feeling of
uneasiness among government Off
cials of the reservation. A council
of the red men will be held Wednes-
day night in the vicinity Of the agen-
cy here and the appearance OF any
white persons at the pow-wow will,
it is expected, be forcibly resented.
Captain Applegate, who has
wide acquaintance among the In
dlans has started from the Warm
Springs reservation for the Umatilla
camp and will attend the council
with the object of endeavoring to
pacify the beliggerent redskins.
The aversion OF the Indians to be-
ing enumerated is said TO lie IN the
fact that they are interested in a
large area of land still held in trust
by the government and for this rea-
son they do not wish their extra
number to become known. The ap-
proach of an enumerator is the sign
for an exodus of Indians to the hills,
until the census man has left the
vicinity of their tepees. II the In
dians persist in their attitude.
United States marshals will be sent
N the reservation to make arrests.
Such action may be expected to pre-
oipitate serious trouble as the IN
dlans are known to be In an ex-
tremely ugly mood.

day and confiscated about 10 tons Of
fish which had been caught and
which was ON its way to Portland.
The fishermen Immediately COM

sheriff of Multnomah county took

state to hold him liable for 1t. The
state today also intends to arrest all
violators of the law and will seize
all fish that can be found. The de

RAILROAD BILL is DOOMED
BECAUSE TT WAS FRAMED
BY TAFT AND WICKERSHAM

another chance Will be. given to strike
it out.
"A grave suspicion, created among the
members, has spread throughout the
country that corporate influence has had
strong part in upholding the Presi-
dents bill. It's the first time In the
history of congressional legislation that
bill framed, suggested. written and
&C instructed and called the administra-
ticn bill was ever brc lght to Congress.
Following in the wake of the great
revolution on the floor of the House that
stripped Speaker Cannon and the rules
committee of their extraordinary power,
the country was not prepared to look
favorably upon that character of the
bill that the President designated as his
own bill and wanted members to vote
for it.
MY opinion about the four sections
of the bill that undertake to regulate
the acquisition, the issuance of the cap
ital stock of railroads and their merger
ard consolidation is that they were never
intended to prevent over-capit talization OF
stock, but. would eventuate in greater
and combination of the rail-
road carriers OF the country. l have no
hesitancy in saying that the capital stock
of a railroad reasonably or unreason-
ably capitalized has no bearing or re-
lation to correct ascertainment by the
Interstate commerce commission of what
reasonable rate Is or ought to be as
charged by a railroad.
THE fact Is this capital stock provi-
sion was intended to protect and guar
antee minority stockholders who had pur-
chased stock in over-capitalized railroads.
III other words, the power of Congress
to regulate interstate commerce was to
be used to indemnify unwise. imprudent
and indiscreet minority stockholders in
railroad corporations
"In my judgment the President will
finally get a bill with the leading and
vital features contained in sections and
IL stricken out, and If the latter sec
tion remains stricken out the commerce
court will find little business to occupy
its time for this section was intended
to create business for the commerce
court. Sections 13 and IA, 7 believe. will
be greatly modified on the question of
cal pital stock, bonds. etc, and thus will
be passed a mere skeleton of the bill as
originally introduced

Washington May Especial )-Repre-
sentative Richardson of Alabama, the
rarking democrat of tha interstate and
cieign commerce committee, regards as
HOPELESS the efforts of the administration
to get enacted into law railroad bill
fashioned after the original measure in
itisted by the President and the Attor-
ney General. Judge Richardson looks for
some kind of bill becoming law, but in
any event the legislation Is regarded by
him as a clear-cut defeat of the admin
istraton, In discussing the matter to-
night, Judge Richardson said:
'rhe railroad bill has reached an acute
state. 1t is perfectly manifest that, the
President will have to accept an entirely
different bill from the one prepared by
the President and the Attorney General
and submitted early in January to the
Senate and House. Apologize declars-
tions are now made that the President
and Mr., Wickersham had never objected
to any amendments being made to the
bill. but little credit is given to these
ings, when it is remembered that the
chosen supporters of the bill fiercely re-
sisted every effort either to amend, alter
or strike out the pooling provisions of
section 7. which, in effect, by impli-
cation repcals the wisest and most whole
some provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law.
THE same thing occurred in the siren
uous efforts made to eliminate the very
Objectionable provisions of section II of
the bill. which authorized and invited
competitive railroad lines to consolidate
with each other and create a dangerous
railroad monopoly.
'The same thing can be said of the
efforts made by the opponents of the bill
to eliminate the commerce court, yet
section and section IL have. up to date
under the f1ercest fight, been eliminated
from the bill. The commerce court clause
has won in the House by a tie, but when
consideration is resumed in the House

NEW ERA BEGUN IN
FURNISHING CRIME

Wash ington. May s.-Criminal law
yers throughout the country are said
to be agitated over the action of the
supreme court in inaugurating what is
designated as "a new era in the pun
ishment of criminals"-that of requir-
ing punishments to be proportionate ia
the offense.
The agitation arises from the deci-
sion of the court last Monday when for
the first time in its history ii set at
liberty a person convicted of an Of
Tense because a "cruel and unusual
punishment had been inflicted on him.
1t was in the case of Paul Weems, an
official in the light house service i'll
the Philippines.
His case came under the bill of rights
of the island. The court announced
that it must give the same interpreta- :
tion to that bill of rights as given to
the eighth amendment to the constitu-
tion Thereupon 1t proceeded TO con-
strue this amendment prohibiting a
''crtel and unusual punishment"
1t was admitted that iR4khe musty
precedents of the pas: >Rhe English
speaking people had used this phrase
only to prohibit tM resort to inhuman
methods for causing bodily torture. 1t
had been used tovprevent return to
the Roman custom of ssGinG.-a "A patri-
eide into leather bag With a live dog,
cock, viper and an ape, and casting
it into the sea, aA1r to the English Gus
tom of disembowelling traitors and
burying alive women who committed
treason. The court regards thu incl
dents as miiestonSs iH the advance of
civilization and not as limitations Of
the phrase.

McKenna, in announcing the decision
of the court, "our conception cannot
be only of what has been, but OF what
may be-"
This he based on the belief that 9th
,erwise e,e general principles of the
pnstitution would have little value
and be converted into impotent and
lifeless formulas by precedent"
Rights declared in words" said he.
might be lost in reality"
Much speculation exists as to the ef-
feet of the decision. That it will apply
to the territories and the Dstric. Of
Columbia Is not doubted. The court
has determined that the eighth amend
ment Is not applicable to the states and
hence the states will not be compelled
to follow the new principles. Most OF
the states, however, have provisions IN
their constitution which are similar 10
the eighth amendment. A flood of ap-
plications to release prisoners sent to
the penitentiary by the Federal courts
on the ground that punishment was not
proportionate to the offense, may result
from the decision.

READJUSTING ALL
RAILROAD RATES

Washington, May S-A rate readjust-
ment is being made by all state carriers
in the territory between the Mississippi
river and the Atlantic seaboard. The
routes included are the water and rail. as
we'll as the Standard and different lines
Officials of the interstate commerce COM
mission are expecting any day to receive
tariffs making increases in the eastern
territory. 1t is understood tentatively
that the increased rates will become ef-
fective about July 1. The desire of the
carriers, of course, is to anticipate the
passage of the pending railroad bill by
Congress. That measure carries at pres
ent provision that no advance in rates
shall become effective until it's reason
ableness has been passed upon by the
commission. If the rates are filed before
the bill is crystalized into law, the COM
mission will have authority to take up the
advances only after they have gone into
effect, and on the complaint of a ship
per.
The scheme of readjustment to be fol-
lowed by the eastern lines probably will
contemplate an advance on articles of lux
ury with the increases graded down 10
small advances on articles of the lower
classes. ta s- .Nts
The preparation of tariffs to be filed
with the interstate commerce commission
involves an immense amount of detail
work, and 1T Is not likely. therefore. that
the new tariffs can be compiled In time
to become effective before July l. -
Thus far only three lines In the east
have advanced their passenger rates..
and none has advanced, its freight rates.
These advanced rates while not s'ois''t
to review by the commission under the
present law, almost certainly will be the
object of attack by the public and In the
end the commission will have to pass
upon the reasonableness of the advances.
II the pending railroad measure should
be passed us 1t stands the commission
would have authority to passsupon the
reasonableness of any advances. made by
the carriers before the increase became
effective. s4lff
