GREAT TRAFFIC JAM
COMING, SAYS HILL
Tonnage Offered Constantly lncreas-
Ing and Railways Unable to
Get Money to Add to
Equipment

CHICAGO, March 29.-James ]. Hill
believes the railroads will experience
next fall and winter the greatest traffic
congestion in their history, and he sees
no way to prevent it. He passed
through Chicago yesterday on his way
from st. Paul to New York.
THE tonnage being offered railroads
is constantly on the increase" he said,
land there is little doubt that the rail-
roads will be called upon this year to
furnish more transportation units than
they have ever been asked to furnish.
From all indications, 1t seems certain
that by next fall or early winter the
railroads will be totally unable to fur
nish anything like the amount of trans
portation facilities which will be de-
manded by the country.
Il do not think the railroads are to
blame for this situation, for it is next
to impossible for them to raise money
necessary to provide the additional ia
cilities. The railroads of the country
really ought to have about 81 500 900, 900
annually to spend for the next few
years in order to catch up with the
growing demands upon them,' but it is
we'll known fact that they cannot get
this money under present conditions.
Until railroad credit shall have been
restored and until the American public
Shall have regained its confidence in
railroad securities the public will have
to continue to suffer for lack of railroad
facilities"

CHANGES IN INDIAN
SERVICE ANNOUNCED
Supervisors Also to Be Chosen and
Changes Made in Educational
Methods on Reser-
Vations

SPOKANE. Wash. March 29.-Ad-
vices from Washington suggest many
changes in the plan for administering
the affairs on the Indian reservation
The Indian commissioner has asso-
ciated nine experienced field men in
his cabinet, organized for the better
ment of the Indian service. n. b.
Pears, now supervisor of Indian
schools, will have charge of all Indian
-, Is; w. E. Johnson will direct the
work of suppressing the liquor traffic
on the Indian reservations: DR.. Jo-
seph II. Murphy will have charge Of all
hospitals and sanitariums on the reser-
walton; W. r. Logan. formerly super
intendent of the Fort Belknap reser-
walton i'll Montana. will have charge
of all Indian reservations, farming
operations and allotments.
There will also be supervisors Sc
lected for the departments of irrisa-
ii II. Indian forest reserves, Indian
employment, purchases of supplies for
the various reservations and buildings
and construction.
The educational work has been di-
vided into four Districts, the fourth
district consisting of Oregon, Wash
ington. Idaho and Montana, which will
be under the personal supervision of
O. H Lips. who is now in temporary
charge of the five civilized tribes at
Muskogee, Okla.
The general outline of plans for the
recognized administration suggests a
purpose of the department to with
draw its support from the large nom
reservations schools and give it to the
small day and reservation boarding

FOR INVESTIGATION
SAYS ARIZONA PRISONERS VIC
TINS OF sERFDoM
Believes That This Country Is Be-
guiIed Into Lending Aid in Pun
ishing Refugees from
piaz' Land
fAssoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Moved
to action, as he admits, by published
charges of the existence of slavery in
Mexico and the belief that the United
States government may be allowing it
self to be used by the Mexican gov
eminent for the punishment of po-
litical offenders, Representative Mich
OILS, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, in
troduced in the house Il resolution re-
questing the attorney general to fur
nish full information relative to three
prominent Mexicans now in the fed
eral prison in Arizona under sentence
for violation of the neutrality laws.
The resolution was referred to the jul
dietary committee
The resolution asked for full infor-
nation in connection with the arrest,
indictment. conviction and imprisOn-
ment of Antonio Nillareal, r. f. Ma
gon and Liberado Rivera, and also to
whether these men will be granted
their freedom when their terms expire.
II have understood" said Mr. Mich
OILS that it is the purpose of those
who prosecuted these men that they
are to be harassed further at the be-
hest of the Mexican government when
their terms expire.
Il am convinced that a practical
condition of serfdom exists in Mexico,
and whenever men of that country
have protested in Mexico against eX-
listing conditions they have been
bounded, harassed and imprisoned. In
cases where fugitives have fed into the
United States, l believe, this govern
ment has been beguiled into lending
is aid for their punishment. l pro-
pose to find out about it,"

FORMER EMPL0YE SEEKS
TO CLOSE PALACE CAFE
Asks Permission to File Proofs with
Police Commission That Re-
sort Is Immoral

Charging that the Palace restaurant
is an immoral place, A. w. Niendorf,
who has been employed as special
policeman at The restaurant, asked per-
mission of the police commission last
night to appear before that body and
prove his statements. The charges
were made in writing, and the COM
mission referred the matter to Chief
Galloway to determine if ii was worth
the while of the commission to make
an investigation.
Niendorf declares he wishes to pre-
sent his proofs to the commission in
justification of himself. He appeared
before the commission two weeks ago
and secured his commission as special
policeman stating that it was the de-
sire of Adolph Jahnke, proprietor of
the Palace, to conduct decent place,
and he wanted a special officer for
that purpose. Niendorf declares he
ordered disreputable characters out Of
the place. and it caused so much
trouble that he resigned.

ARE BLAMED FOR RI0TING
Grand Jury Declares Failure of Off
Gals to Perform Duty Is Re

CAIRO, ILL.,, March 29.-Blame for the
attack on the Alexander county jail
February H. during which one man
was killed and several injured in an

groes, was partially laid at the door of
Mayor Parsons and the police depart
ment in the final report of the special

asking for aid sooner. The local militia
is criticised for not reporting for duty.
