Praises High School

The following letter received from
State Superintendent of Schools G. P.
Carey, in regard to the condition of
the Watertown high school, is very
lattering. He says:
I am in receipt of the report of
Inspector Terry of his visit to your
high school on June Z.
While the visit was too short and
the year too near a close to make a
thorough inspection, yet Mr.. Terry
was well pleased with what he saw
and he considers that you have an
excellent school and one which ranks
well with other leading high schools
of the state Such comments in re-
gard to the individual work and gen
eral matters relating to the school
were fully discussed with Supt. Rose
man and in the general faculty meet
ing held after school and they need
not be repeated here.
The school is well equipped and
the building was in excellent condi-
ton in respect to cleanliness, free
dom from defacements, and in gen
eral sanitary matters.
The contiued and steady growth OF
the school speaks well for the edu-
cational sentiment of your city.
am pleased to know that you added
an assistant this year to meet the in
crease in enrolment. The indications
are that still another will be needed
very soon, quite likely next year.
Should you decide, however, to intro
duce a full course ~ domestic science
as / am glad to know you are think
ing of doing, the teacher of this will
probably be all of the addition need
ed to the force for another year at
least I sincerely hope that you Will
see your way clear to include this
course in the work in manual train
ing and by so doing place your school
on the list to receive the special
state aid.
l assure you of my satisfaction in
receiving so favorable report.
Yours truly,
G. P. Cary.

was unavailing, the heart having ceased
to beat. He was at work for the Water

INGENIOUS cOUNTERFEITERs
 OUTFIT IN STATE PRISON.
Secret Service Officers Discover How
 the Plant Was Worked.

Boston, August 1o.-How three in mates of the state prison at Charles town were able to construct a coun- terfeiting outfit and manufacture spurious half dollars has been dis covered by secret service officers. Ever since July 21 when the state prison officials discovered that coun-, tion in the prison and that some had got outside. an investigation has been in progress. At that time it became known that Patrick Hanley Of Lynn, who is serving a 20-year sentence as an habituaI criminal was involved.
 Tonight it was announced at the office of the United States district attorney that two other prisoners, whose names were withheld, had been found to be accomplices of Hanley and that the cases of all three would be presented to the federal grand jury next fall.
 The method of the counterfeiters was ingenious. They secured from unknown sources some scraps of tin aad lead, a jewellers crucible and some plaster of paris. One of the trio has a knowledge of electricity and it was he who devised the means the electric light wires in Han1ey's cell, attached two pieces of carbon and placed them on a small sheet of iron covered with hreproof cement. On the white hot carbon the crucibie was placed. the metal was melted and the coins were manufactured in a plaster of paris mould. It is sus- pected that there was an accomplice outside the jail who assisted in the plying of material for their manu- facture

McAIester. Okla, Aug 1e-l O. the poor Indian" learned a few more things about the proposed sale of ss0, 900, 900 worth of his land in the hearing before the congressional investigating com mittee today.
 Congressman C. D. Carter Of the Fourth Oklahoma district testi jed that ard c. Adams. an attorney at Wash ington, Adams said he had an grange ment by which he was to have five per cent. of the ."profits'' to be derived from the McMurray contracts.
 He also told me- testified MT Car ter, s-that Congressman B. g. AscGuire was in on the deal and would get his share He also told me that pr. Wright. a.. delegate for, the choctaw Indians at Washington. with salary of ss,o00. was. in on the deal He also said We've got some others, but he didn't mention other names.
 Did Adams say he was going to get five per cent. Of all the money McMur- ray was to realize on the deal?" asked Chairman Charles H. Burke.
 Yes. he said he was going to make sure of it, as McMurray had double crossed him at times, but this time he out, and when McMurray got his ten per cent, or s3.00e.o00 or whatever it amounted to, he (Adams) was going to get live per cent. of the proc ssds.
 l[- Washington. He told me to go to old man Gore and get him to vithdraw that fool bill of his against ;he Mo Murray contracts"
 Cherokee Indian and was for two years member of the house committee on Indian affairs, was then asked:
 Do you think majority Of the In- dians are in favor of these contracte giving ten per cent to McMurray ?''\
 There is no doubt that they are" he replied. But there is also m doubt that in signing the contracts many more were influenced to do so by per sons who had an interest in them"
 Adams was described as a Delaware Indian who has frequently been men toned as having called on President Taft on matters pertaining TO Indian affairs. It was to Adams that the In dians in this state were asked to ad- dress teiegrams urging President Taft to approve the sale of the lands. Mo Murray is the holder of the -rtracts by which, according to -sent.or Gore. ney's fee" would be allowed.
 Before Carter left the stand McMur- rays attorneys obtained from linn tes timony tending to show that :n previ- ous Indian matters McGuire suE ported measures in congress opposed 10 the interests of McNurray.
 Incidentally. the Indians 14any of whom were in the committee room, learned of Robbers Roost town in the southern part of the state. From Robbers Rooet there emerg.d enc day an enissary representing McMurray, who went to a "war coun>ir of In- dians to get them to sign the contracts.
 About six hundred of the Indians signed at that time. testified T. II. God frey. They also. he said, signed tax case contracts. by which IcMurray was to get s1o "a head" for fighting the taxation of the Indians.
