states took place here today. Six hun
dred Filipinos had presented to Sec
retary of War Dickinson, who is Vis-
iting the Philippine islands, a petition

Moros to $4,000 Filipinos living in wide
ly scattered regions.
He feared that such move would
lead to a rupture of peaceful condi-
tions when the Americans would be
left the task of restoring order

senting 10000 Moros at this point dra-
matically rendered their allegiance to

withdraw.

DENY BURNS SAID T.R.
WANTED INDICTMENT
Federal Grand Jurors Testify Be-
fore Senator Stone in
Perrin Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-That
the federal grand jury which indicted
John A. Benson and DR.. e. B. Perrin
on charges of defraudng the govern
ment in land deals was not urged to
take that action by Special Agent w.
j. Burns, and that Burns conveyed to
the jury no message from former
President Roosevelt was the statement
made today by two members of the
jury in the course of their testimony
before Senator Stone, who is inVesti-
eating the prosecution of these cases
by United States District Attorney
Devlin.
Replying to questions by Senator
Stone, w. H. Grimm, foreman of the
jury, and F. B. Finley, a juror, said
the only mention of President Roose-
Welt made by Burns was TO say that
the president desired that land grab
bing should be stopped.
Senator Stone said 1t has been inti-
mated about Washington that Burns
had pounded the desk with his fist
and loudly clamored for the indictment
of Benson and Perrin. Both witnesses
denied that he had done so. They said
he had made no mention of Perrin, but
had said Benson deserved indictment.
They could not recall that he had said
that he had seen the president in con-
nection with the cases.
Finley said Police Judge Charles L.
Weller, a brother-in-law of DR.. Per-
rim, had urged him "in a general way"
not to find the Indictment.

FREEZING TEMPERATURE

Famous Outlaw Horse Lives Up
to Reputation

CHEYENNE, wyo., Aug. PA Bit
terly cold wind and temperature be-
low freezing drove thousands from the
grounds at the Frontier day sports
here today and caused postponement
of a part of the afternoons program.
The weather, however, failed to AFFECT
the bronchos for the rough riding con-
test, especially because of their vicious
dispositions. They fully lived up to
their regulations and every horse rid
rem today gave his rider a hard fight.
Steamboat, the most famous outlaw
in the country, who has been ridden to
a finish but once in his career, gave
o. Hubbard a hard battle. Hubbard
stuck to the saddle, but is hardly
expected to ride In the finals.
Lawrence Bennett was knocked
down and badly bruised while attempt
ing to saddle Wild Cat Wild Cat was
finally taken back to the corral.
Sam Scouville, former worlds
tional ride on Crazy Quilt without
saddle or bride, and Goldie st. Clair.
the champion rider, rode Red Sandy
to finish.

ALASKANS FOREFATHERS
OF AMERICAN INDIANS
Returning Missionary Says Tribes
of North Have Hard Battle
for Race Preservation

SEATTLE, Aug. 24.-The Rev.
Charles e. Betticher, jr., graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania who
has passed five years in the Tanana
valley, Alaska, as a missionary, is in
Seattle on his way to New York Be-
fore returning to Alaska ne Will at
tend the general convention of the
Episcopal church in Cincinnati in Oc-
tober.
Rev. Betticher declares the Alaska
natives are the original fathers of the
American Indians. Through careful
study of dialects, he has found the
words for water" people" and many
other terms are similar to those used
by Arizona and New MEXICO Indians.
Whether the natives in the Tanana
valley are destined to live or become
extinct" said he, rests on the work
we can do during the next ten years.
We must battle for the preservation
of the race.
1.-The influx of the whites has
brought so-called civilization along
with it, and the natives have grown
less rugged and less able to cope with
nature. It has also driven animals
upon which they depend, further
away thus entailing hardships upon
the Indians. During the next ten
years, if we can maintain a birth
rate equal to the death rate, we will
succeed for by that time they will
have been accustomed to the change
and be ready to cope with the situa-
tion. We are taking a new census of
the Indians every year and hope to
maintain our present rate"

FIRING OF BIG GUNS
KILLS SOUND SALMON
Many Dead Fish Found After
Target Practice

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. "a.
With thousands of dead salmon
scattered along the shores of the
sound as evidence, fishermen say the
firing of big guns at the sound forts
is destroying more fish than is the
work of fishermen.
The artillery forces are now finish
ing the annual firing practice. Among
the exercises prescribed is the dis
charge of the big 12-lnch guns and
motars with full service charges. For
these guns charges of smokeless pow
der Weighing several hundred pounds
are used. The concussion from the
guns is felt far over land and water.
Persons who have investigated, say
the situation is a serious one, as 1t
affects the life of the salmon in lower
sound waters and say the effect on the
fish has been noted during target
practice for several summers.
