INDIANS DYING
 OF SMALLPOX

Prescott, Ariz Aug. 12-That smallpox is decimating the Ma vabO Indians and that the dread disease has spread to the Moq ui villages was the startling news received yesterday from Fred Volz, Indian trader at Canyon Diablo. In almost every case the disease has been fatal to the Ma vajos, and scores of the Moquis have already succunbed al though the disease made it's ap- pearance in the village less than week ago. As a result the visits of former President Roose welt and postmast General Hitchcock, two princes of the royal blood of Germany, and many other nOtables to the annual ceremOn- ies of the Moquis, to be held next week, have been canceleG, and it is believed that the festiviti es will be cancelled by the tribe this year.
 Attorney and Mrs. E. $. C lark and two sons who left yesterday for the Grand Canyon aud to at tend the Moqui dances, will re- turn here from the canyon, and Reese M. Ling, who also attend ed to be present at the cerem )n : ies, will also cancel his visit.
 Fred Volz 1t one of lhe old est Indian trader in Arizona. He has seen these tribes decim ated by disease it past years, and says that the epidemic of this year is the worst in the memory of the oldest Indians.
 Fourteen years ago two hun dred and eighty six Moquis sue cumbed to smallpox reducing the tribe to less than six hundred members. It is feared that the tribe will be almost annihila ted this year if medical aid is not promptly furnished by the govern ment. The Indians have no cure for the disease and are loath to submit to treatment of phy- sicians.

 "On that you will be pleased, !" said the White Thing, "for it changes the law as to Federal Judgeships in Alaska, Philippines and other Territories"
 The President started. "What change would you make" he demanded hoarsely, Speak thou Fearful Guest, wh a t change!"
 "Hereafter," said the White Thing, pointing to the Bill, "you may continue to appoint judges, as you do now, but the power to remove them at will, which the present law gives you, is taken away
