Deprecated at State Department.

Officials of the State Department depre-
cate the reiteration OF the report that
Mr.. Lagercrantz, the Swedish minister,
was persona non grata to the United
States. There is official authority for the
statement that the retirement of Minister
Lagercrantz was entirely voluntary and
that his diplomatic services at Washing
ton had been entirely satisfactory to the
United States as well as to his own gov
eminent His action in investigating the
condition of Swedish emigration to the
United States was regarded at the State
Department as being clearly within his
proper official function.
His reference to American political
probabilities, in the course Of a speech al
banquet in New York city several
months ago. was not taken seriously by
President Taft and his advisers and never
reached the dignity of a diplomatic In
cident' 1t was passed by as a dtplo-
matte faux pass and would have been
forgotten but for it's revival in connection
with his retirement to civil life.
Acting Secretary Adee said today that
when Mr.. Lagercrantz went home on
leave in June last he paid his respects
to the officials of the department and
casually mentioned at that time that he
might not return here as his business
interests in Stockholm required more OF
his attention. He Is at the head Of q
large manufacturing concern.

REASON FOR LAGERCRANTZ'S
RETIREMENT DOUBTED.
Inclined to Ascribe It to Diplomatic
Slip in New York Speech-Theory
Discredited by State Department.

STOCKHOLM, August 23.-The official
statement that the retirement Of Mr..
Lagercrantz from the post Of Swedish
minister at Washington was due entirely
to his personal wishes does not convince
the public. The common belief is that the
real reason for the diplomats return is
to be found in the speech which he de-
livered in New York and in the course OF
which he is reported to have toasted the
probable success of the republican party
in the coming campaign.

ACCUSED BY K|CKAPOOS
OKLAHOMANS CHARGED WITH
FORGING NAMES TO DEED.
Their Arrest and Extradition Asked
by Mexico in Interest of Indians
Living in That Country.

MEXICO CITY. August 2a-Charged
with land frauds against the tribe Of
kickapoo Indians, the provisional arrest
and detention Of w L. Chapman, L. C.
Grimes, A. 7. Brown. r. c. Conine and
John Garrett. residents Of the state OF
Oklahoma, have been asked by telegraph
of the United States government by the
Mexican state department. Formal re-
quest for the extradition Of the men has
been mailed to Washington.
The formal complaint against Chapman
and his associates grows out OF the re-
moval Of the Kickapoo Indians from
Oklahoma territory TO Muzquiz, state of
Coahuila. I'm the summer of 1905. AS soon
as they had arrived in Mexico. 1t is said,
Chapman. Grimes. Brown. Conine and
Garrett followed them to this country and
at once entered into negotiations for the
purchase OF the Oklahoma lands of the
Indians, amounting approximately to
10000 acres and valued at several hun
dred thousands Of dollars.
The Crime Charged.
1t is alleged that the Kickapoos refused
to sell. although they possessed the right
to do SO by an act OF the United States
Congress which permits Indians who have
left the United States to dispose of their
land holdings there.
The complaint then alleges that Chap
man and associates. failing to induce the
Kickapoos to dispose OF their Oklahoma
property. forged deeds and signed the
individual names OF the Indian land
owners to them.
Two Arrests Made.

BILLS BARRED
NO AID FOR MEN INJURED IN
FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.
Order May Be Issued to Cover Flu
ture Casualties-Improve-
ment in Conditions.

Word was received at the Depart
ment OF Agriculture today from the dep
uty forester at Missoula, Mont, that
forty employees OF the forest service
were in the hospital as the result OF
injuries received in fighting the forest
fires. The forester inquired whether
under the law the department could
nay the hospital expenses Of the in
jured men. He was informed that this
could not be done. There was an order
issued by Secretary Wilson last year
that lump sum employees" should re-
ceiye medical material as part OF their
compensation. 1t was specifically stat
ed in the order. however. that this
should not include surgical or hospital
attendance.
Provision for Future Casualties.
| Now that the question Of caring for the
injured men has come up the department
regrets exceedingly that 1t is unable to
pay their expenses. and the question OF
issuing an order that will cover such acct
dents in the future was taken under con-
sideration by Acting Secretary Hayes to-
day. This will not aid the men who are
now in the hospital. but will benefit any
who are subsequently injured.
An Improvement in the forest fre con-
ditions generally is noted from the re-
ports received at the forestry bureau TO-
day. despite the fact that the fires on the
western slope Of the divide are still In a
serious stage.
Conditions East Of Divide.
District Forester Greeley, at MISSOURI
Mont, in a report received at the bureau
today, says there are no serious hres
east Of the divide. He reports that Bit
ter Root, Missoula and Pan d'Oreille
fires are all under control.
The total known deaths of temporary
laborers, according to Mr.. Greeley's re-
port, now number seventy-three. with five
missing and two crews not completely
canva ssed. Three rangers are reported
injured, although not seriously.

lifting kite is really nothing more or less
than an aeroplane. The wind itself acts
as motive power. Except for it's ability
to move about at will, the kite possesses
all the advantages Of an aeroplane, ex-
cept that 1t is somewhat more difficult
to launch in the air with a passenger
aboard.
Unlike the kites In use by small boys,
1t Is not necessary to run with the aero
plane kite. Once set in position with the
kite line ias,ened at the right distance.
1t should rise into the air immedia tely
upon being released by the action of the
wind upon It."
