SECRETARY OF INTERIOR

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1S-Justice
Gould of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia today issued a
rule to show cause on Secretary Fish
er why he should not restore to the
rolls in the Choctaw tribe of Indians

ley and John w. Swadley. The rule

The mandamus petition, which was
filed by Happier & Merillat and James
K Jones, of Washington, d. c., and
Charles Won Wiese, of Ardmore, Okla,
alleged that the Swadleys had been
found entitled to enrolment as Choc-
taw Indians by blood and their names
had been placed upon a final roll of
citizens by blood of the Choctaw Ma
ton. one of them being half-blooG
Indian, and her husband being at this
tine actually on the roll as a citizen
by intermarriage of the Choctaw Ma
ton. The mandamus petition alleged
that under the rules and regulations
and practice in enrolment matters
parties were entitled to notice and al
opportunity to be heard before any
adverse action was taken in theil
cases. 1t asserted that notwithstand

HISTORIC CHINESE CITY
SHAMELESS OF SLAUGHTER

Nanking, Nov. 11-Historic Nanking
is a shambles of the Manchu slaugh-
ter.
The sun set last evening upon a
scene of fire, desolation and butchery
unrecorded in modern history.
Last night 10000 Manchu and inn
perial old-style soldiers held Purple
hill, where they are entrenched, while
from beneath their stronghold they
are driving before them hordes of Chi
nese out of the city.
Innocent Chinese, destitute, are fec
ing, terror-stricken, to the shelter at
the rear of the reform force Tie lat
ter between 10000 and 10000, are
powerless because of their lack Of am
munition.
Thusday night the revolutionists
= made a demonstration, but did little
shooting. and there were few fatalities.
The main body of the formers le-
NAMED in camp three miles from the
city, awaiting the arrival of ammuni-
tion.
Reinforcements are coming in from
every direction. They are raw and
ragged recruits, but are determined.
Foreigners are receiving the utmost
consideration.
When the city gate was opened Fri
day morning the people thronged to
ward the country, driven by the i'm
perialists.
Soon afterwards the carnage began
Since the night of November s, wheT
the first attack was made by the rev
olutionists, the Ttartar general has
tried to terrorize the inhabitants by
wholesale executions. Those whose
queues had been cut off were behead
ed, but yesterday, when the order fol
a general slaughter was given, the
whole native city was invaded by the
Manchu soldiers, who massacred men
women and children. Even the ageC
and babes in arms were shown NJ
mercy.
Thousands of Chinese poured from
the gates At noon it was estimated
fully 10000 persons had fled. Before
nightfall 10000 more, representing
every class, had escaped. Meanwhile
the Manchus secured the narroy cit!
streets. Houses of wealthy merchant
were sacked And queueless victim
was beheaded Immediately.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw several women executed ant
! their children stabbed and tramplet
! under foot.
The order appeared to be that any
one wearing white, which suggeste
the white bandage worn by the roforn
ers, must be killed forthwith. A whit
pocket handkerchief marked the pos
SCISSOR for death. White shoes, whic
are worn by the Chinese as sign @
n mourning, were a signal for the exect
ton of the wearer.
An attempt to estimate the numbe
of innocents and combatants slai
would be futile.
The Chinaman found wearing fo
eign clothing Immediately fell victi1
of his advanced taste, but foreigner
were not molested. Their protest
against the massacres, however, wer
laughed at.
Correspondents of the Associate
Press worked uninterruptedly With

Fire sprang up everywhere. A larg
section of the native city was burned

:. A CHALLENGE TO MIR. BRYAN.

William J. Bryan's trusty horse pis- tul goes off at both ends as usual when he accuses the criminal cor porations" of owning many of the great newspapers and then explains that it is not now possible to learn who owns the stock of some of these journals" He would like to have law to make these assassins come out of the dark and stand before the public gaze"
 We are not disposed to quarrel with Mir. Bryan about mere con tradiction When he says that crimi- nal corporations own various news papers he must have somebody or something in mind. and the further statement that nobody can find out who owns these journals is of no consequence What we want is a bill of particulars as to the main charge. What criminal corporations are en- gagged in journalism? What are the names of the newspapers that are controlled by criminal corporations?
 So far as our observation extends. the ownership of newspapers is not much of d mystery. Responsible men can be found at all reasonable hours The policies which they sustain or oppose are usually understandable. They use the English language with more or less force. and whether We agree with them or not we flatter ourselves that vc can perceive the drift of their remarks on most oc- casions Even Mir. Bryan's incor- ruptiDle weekly makes itself plain l to us.
 But in all our reading We have dis covered nothing that suggests the ] presence of criminal corporation in our journalistic midst. Just what we
 should do if we made such find we need not say; but, with the fear of ! MT. Bryan in our hearts now as al ways we challenge him to name names. He needs no law to drag i these assassins out of the dark. Let l him do it with his own strong arm l New York World.

have affected certain people to such an extent that an Outcry against the Rallies stories has been started An other faVOrite excuse for the criminal is the moving picture. The censor ing of films to reasonable bounds has weakened the criminals case to a great degree, and the cry that moving pictures did it. is hardly apt to lessen the severity of a sen tence.
 As a matter of fact, if the element of crime were to be eliminated from literature, much of the most notable work would suffer. Not long ago a college professor brought out a study of the romance of rOguery. and his work makes two goOd-siZed volumes and includes short reviews of hun dreds of novels and plays. dating from the picturesque novels of Spain to the detective stories of today
 While such literature may lead d few weak minded readers to the ac- tuaI commission of crime, it is prob able that it more than makes up for such damage in the pleasure it gives the general reading public. The pleas of criminals. who naturally grasp at any excuse that seems plausible, will hardly weigh against the testimony of the thousands who find unbounded zest in the literature of roguery.- Denver Republican.

tween good roads and prosperity in northern Arizona. Dell NJ. Potter who is a good roads patriarch in eastern Arizona will discuss the question from the standpoint of the effect of good roads on all Arizona. George Purdy Bullard will go even stronger than either of these gentlemen. He will insist that there should be a good road from ocean to ocean and that it should pass through Phoenix C. A. Stauffer will undoubtedly agree with all three of the other speakers but will cOnfine himself mainly to MaricOpa county in the behalf that if this county gets good roads all the rest of the world will want them just as it does the Roosevelt dam. the Salt River valley climate and other valuables of which Maricopa county now has a monopoly.

CITY REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE TONIGHT
Recorders Office Will Be Kept Open
 Until Midnight.

This is the last day for registration for the city election. The office of the city recorder will be kept open tonight until midnight. Though the registration is already larger than had been expected at the beginning. 2650 it had been found that there are at least 300 more voters in the city entitled to register
 The vote at the local option cleo tion, 2475 seemed so surprisingly large that many people who had not kept track of the growth of Phoenix. sus- pected that some voters were at the polls last Tue sday who ought to have stayed away but perhaps when the city registration is complete it will be shown that not more than eighty per cent of the actual city vote was cast last Tuesday.
 Of course, this is a large percent age of it, more than had ever before been brought out but there was never before in Phoenix such a demand on 1t.
