INSIST ON SHIFT
SENIOR SENATOR sTANEs FIRM
FOR TRANaFER OF NJ. D. LAND
TO N. o. DISTRICT.

Washington, April 4.-Senator Nc
Cumber will insist upon the restoration
to the Bismarck jurisdiction Of all
lands in the Standing Rock Indian res
ervation in North Dakota. The senior
senator from North Dakota does not
share the views of those who say such
a move would force homesteaders to
transact their business with the Bis
marck landoffice instead of the Lemon,
s. d., Office which is close by. Senator
McCumber makes the point that The
homesteader can transact all his BUSH
ness with commissioners who are al

for two hours when he faced the
camera for the Identification bureau,
| twisting his face out of shape and
rolling ON the floor. Efforts to take
his Bertillon measurements were flu
tile
Detectives in New York last night
found two more trunks and a satchel
belonging to the robbers from which
they recovered $4,000 in stamps.
In one is what detectives say is
the most elaborate and highly finished
set of burglar tools they have ever
seen. Eacn tool was i'm separate
case of Russian leather. Even the
rougher jimmies were wrapped in it's
suepaper, and the drills were of the
hardest modern high speed tool steel.
With them we're a set of lock picks,
some of which were Is inches long,
and six sets OF skeleton keys. Another
set, not SO finished, was seized last
night.
More interesting yet was manu-

.GRONNA IS Still
BUSY EXPLAINING
SAGE OF LAKoTA IS YET MAKING
EXCUSES FOR HIS VOTE FOR
AND AGAINST CANNON.

Washington, April 4,-Representa-
tive Gronna is still busy explaining
his vote for and against Speaker Cam
non during the rules fight the other
day.
The sage from Lalxota now declares
that he did not know what he was do
ing when he voted for the retention of
Speaker Cannon; that he had been
absent from the chamber and that he
had only returned to the chamber a
minute before his name was called.
This statement, however, is fatty con-
tradicted by those who were seated
near Mr.. Gronna throughout the rules

was In his chair throughout 1t Is said
affidavits will be prepared to this effect
IL necessary and used against Mr.
Gronna in his campaign for the United

Why Mr.. Gronna should permit him
self to be called out of the chamber
at the most critical moment during
the entire fight upon Speaker Cannon
remains Quandary and for that mat
ter no cards were sent In upon the
floor of the house as the doorkeepers
and pages became interested specta-
tors throughout the controversy and
were crowded about the walls of the
chamber. The doors of the house also
were SO crowded to effectively black
any one attempting to go in, or out OF
the chamber during that memorable
struggle.
Mr.. Gronna In q short speech also
made the statement that Speaker Can
non had treated him with the utmost
curtesy during the several years he had
been member of the house. Other
insurgents voiced similar sentiments
yet they voted against the speaker.

ITALIAN PAPER
SCORES CHURCH

Rome, April 2.-The News that
Roosevelt had abandoned his pro-
posed visit to the vatican reached
the morning papers late but made
a profound impression.
Messsgero, an anti-clericaI organ,
alone comments editorialIy on the
matter.
When the news Was spread IL
was received with incredibly, many
regarding il as a malicious fahri-
cation Of the enemies of the Cath
olic church, but when confirmed il
produced comment disastrous TO
the vatican. Men of every religion
daily visit the pope without first
giving an itinerary of the churches
they intend to visit. Why should
the vatican require Roosevelt TO
ignore the churches of his own re-
ligion during his short stay in
Rome. The incident will not add
to the diplomatic fame of the
pope's advisors.
Roosevelt, as the head of the
great American republic, followed
the principles enun1ited by Premier
Euzzat as free church under =
sovereign state. The Messaeero
places che responsibility for what il
terms a blunder on the pope's en-
tourage, continuing: "For Il was
a blunder to ask certificate of se-
ceptability from a man luxurious
everywhere for his intelligence and
nobleness of life. The liberty
which Roosevelt is defending or all,
he could not renounes for himself"
