GIRL, RESISTING ITALIAN,
IS THROWN INTO RIVER
HurIs Stone in AsSaiIant'S Face,
but Rebuff Only Serves to
Enrage MiScreant

YONKERS, N. Y, June 25.-Miss Min
ME Brown, a 15-year-old high school
girl with an enviable record in ath-
letics, is in a hospital suffering from
shock and injuries received last night
when she was attacked near her home
by an unidentified Italian and thrown
over a cliff into the Hudson river, after
fight against her assailant. Police
are securing the outlying districts in
search for the man.
Miss Brown. the daughter of a
wealthy New Yorker, was the hostess
last evening at party given to num-
ber of her schoolmateS. When the
party was over she accompanied sew
eral of her guests to their street car,
two blocks away. On her return down
the lonely river boulevard she was
halted by a slouching Italian. He
grasped her by the arm, quickly tying
a handkerchief over her mouth, and
started dragging her toward a dark
pier.
The girl struggled with all her power
and the italian pulled out a knife,
gashing her lightly to enforce his
threats. At this she drew back quickly,
lifted a huge stone from the roadway
and struck the fellow full in the face.
Infuriated, he clutched madly at her.
picked her up in both arms and hurled
her over the edge of the embankment
into the river below. Policemen heard
her screams from a street corner two
blocks away and ran to the scene. She
was pulled out of the water and taken
to the pospital apparently in a critical
condition, but the physicians express
the opinion that she will recover.

CHOCTAWS WANT COAL
LANDS SURFACE RESERVED
Indians Not Opposed to DISPOSE
ton of Tribal Property

McALESTER, Okla. June 25.-D. c.
McCurtain, son of Governor George
McCurtain of the Choctaw Nation, to-
day sent a message to Senator LaF'ol-
lette, in which he said;
1.-THE Indians are not opposed to the
immediate disposition of all the tribal
property. but are strongly opposed to
the sale Of the surface Of the coal
lands or other portions, the disposal of
which would prove an injury to the
balance"
McCurtain holds the individual In
dian cannot enter into a contract bear
ing on the undivided tribal property Of
the nation, and he therefore contends
that ]. f. McMurray's contracts are not
valid.
1.-The McMurray contracts do not rep
resent the collective sentiment of the
Indians" he said.
McCurtain and his law partner have
a contract with the Choctaws to con-
duct probate matters for the Indians.

T. n. To JUMP INTO
N. Y. STATE FIGHT
Tells Reporters He Is Done with
Making Political
Speeches
WILL TRY TO SAVE THE PARTY
Hughes and Former President TO
Go Over Situation in the
Empire State
WILL TRY TO SAVE THE PARTY
rAssociated Press1

OYSTER BAY, June 25.-Theodore
Roosevelt may never make another
political speech, as he told the news
paper men the other day, but he is
going to roll up his sleeves and plunge
into the thick of the political fight to
be waged this fall for the control of
New York state.
The colonel persists in his refusal to
talk politics for publication, but never
theless it may be said with authority
that he will devote his every effort to
save the Republican party from the
defeat which he thinks menaces it in
his state.
out of the coming conference be-
tween Col Roosevelt and Governor
Hughes will issue an articulated pol
icy. The governor and the former
president will go over the entire polit-
is today. Mr.. Roosevelt will indicate
his belief that if Governor Hughes
accepts a place on the United
States supreme court bench, as the
governor already has signified his in
tention to do and thus withdraws en-
tirely from active politics, the result
may be disastrous tc his party.
Mr.. Roosevelt may not, and prob
ably will not, request the governor in
so many words to become a candidate
for a third term. He will present the
situation as he sees it, leaving it to
the governor to decide after he has
learned Col. Roosevelt's views. A de-
cision to accept third nomination
would carry with it a full understand
ing that in the event of q Republican
defeat Governor Hughes would find
himself with neither a seat on the
bench nor In the executive chair.

Five Members Will Investigate
Blind SoIon'S Statements
WILL APPOINT COMMITTEE
IAssociated Press1

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Hughes, in presenting a resolution for
a senate investigation, declares Senator
Cores accusations SO grave that they
could not be ignored. The resolution
went through without opposition. 1t
is as follows:
"Resolved, That committee of five,
to be appointed by the chair, be hereby
directed to investigate and report
whether any senator OF the United
States is, or during his term of office,
has been interested in or connected
with legislation affecting the approval
of Indian contracts, or has done any
thing because of said interest or
whether any improper attempts to pre-
vent or secure the passage of a statute
affecting the approval of Indian con-
tracts have been made at this session
of congress, and said committee is au-
thorized to sit and proceed in the
vacation.
At Senator Carriers instance, letter
was read from former Senator John
M. Thurston of Nebraska, demanding
an investigation.
Proceeding on the theory that Mr.
Gore had made a charge against him,
he said he was entirely innocent. He
said, however, that in connection with
former Senator Long of Kansas he
had acted as counsel for Mr.. Nc
Murray.

INSANE YOUTH SAYS HIS
NAME IS JIM JEFFRIES
Also Calls Self Battling Nelson,
Declaring Not Wearing Hat
Accounts for Change

Barefooted and hatless, an unidenti-
fled youth, about 20 years Of age, was
taken before Judge Bordwell yesterday
and arraigned on an insanity charge.
He was brought to Los Angeles from
Walnut by Constable w. J. Fuqua, who
arrested him yesterday morning while
he was riding a horse stolen from a
farmer living near Walnut.
The unfortunate youth was trying to
find the road to Chicago, and while
urging the horse to it's best speed was
singing religious hymns. He did not
resist arrest, but absolutely refused to
wear shoes or a hat.
When asked his name by Judge Bord-
well he replied:
Battling Nelson is what they call
me when I don't wear a hat, but when
do wear one they call me Jim
Jeffries."
The insane prisoners face was dirty
and scratched, while his left hand was
badly bruised. 1t is evident that he
was a recent patient in a hospital, for
the stubs of two fingers on his bruised
hand bear mute testimony of the
fingers having been recently ampu-
tated He refused to tell who ampu-
tated the fingers. He has good voice,
is about feet inches tall, weighs
about $50 pounds, has light hair and is
badly sunburned.
Judge Bordwell will examine him
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. While
being taken to the county detention
hospital the stranger attracted con-
siderable attention by reason of his
loud singing

Oklahoma Chairmen

CINCINNATI, June 25.-C. E. Hun
ter, former chairman of the Oklahoma
state Republican committee, a Rough
Rider, en- route west from New York,

gram closely and then rushed to a
telegraph office, where he sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to the senator:
Cincinnati papers today state that
some state chairman Oklahoma Re-

ments it is only fair that 1 should re-
quest that you state publicly the name
of the bribe offerer. The published
statement casts a reflection on every
Oklahoma Republican chairman
Mr.. Hunter declared positively that
he knew nothing whatever about the
charge made by Senator Gore.
