VIOLATING THE MORAL CODE.
Portland Reservation Indians Accused
Of Buying New Wives.

Portland, ore, March 3l.-For hold
ing lightly the marriage ties and trad
ing ole wives for new without the for
mality Of legal sanction, Indians from
the Klamath reservation are held in
Portland for trial in the federal court.
The savages are accused of cutting
holes in the moral code and this is the
FIRST time, in Northwest Indian affairs,
that the government has intcrfered
with the trial marriages practiced by
the rapidly civilizing Klamaths.
The Indian bucks have been taking
wives by buying them from their faith
crs for an agreed number Of cattle.
In case they tired of each other they
were in the habit of separating by
mutual consent and father-in-law was
required To pay back the livestock.
The Indian department at Washing
ton recently ruled odt this system
of buying wives and insisted on mar
riagc licenses.
After that change in the code, when
two Klamaths decided TO separate, all
up the marriage license. They then
proceeded to find consolation with
other mates in the tribe. This raised
a scandal with H. G. Wilson, super
intendent of the reservation, and he
reported to Washington that NUM-
Der of the Indians had deserted their
wives and were living openly with
other squaws.
As. a result, United States deputy
marShalls descended upon the aston
ishgd Indians and haicd them before
the federal grand jury at Portland. In
dictmcnts followed ana the redskins
must tell the story OF their marital ir-
regularities To the judge.
In future the white mans law gov
erning marriage and divorce must ap-
ply to Indians on the reservations.

TO BOOST BAGGAGE RATES.

January 1, 1912. the railroads plan
to charge additionally for each inch on
baggage where the piece measures ov-
er forty inches in length or breadth.
led baggage which, while not so
weighty, is very large and difficult to
handle. Women who travel with a
dozen or more gowns at their disposal
and use huge wardrobe trunks in
transporting them will be affected by
the new rule which is just now being
planned by the passenger associations.
Each inch over forty in dimensions
will equal To- 100 pounds of excess bag

i. OF M. HEADS
ASK FOR MONEY
TELL JOINT COMMITTEE 1T WILL
BE USELESS TO START I'M
PRovEMENTs ON
st75,ooo.

Lansing, Mich, March Sl.-Presi-
dent Hutchins, of the state university;
D'ean Cooley. SecFetary Smith and
Regents Clements, Codd, Sawyer Beal
and Grant, appeared before the Joint
committee on the university and
pleaded for an allowance of the estim-
ate of SS05,OOG for a new heating plant
for enlarging the electric plant. for
tunnels in connection with both OF
these plants and for a storehouse and
for fire protection.
That 1t is criminal negligence to
allow the university to continue TO be
without better fire protection was the
declaration of Mr.. Hutchins. He re-
minded the Legislators that under the
laws no insurance can be carried on
any OF the buildings: that some of the
Older buildings have more or less
combusttble material I'm them, ana
that not only would much property be
endangered If a fire got started. but
the lives Of students. He mentioned
that 20 years ago the Michigan uni
versity WAS i'm the fore and front and
i'm class by itself but i'm the last de-
cade IL has been falling behind. and
unless it has the equipment it would
be outstripped 10y other state univer-
stiles. What was asked was not to
expand, or to enlarge the faculty, but
to moderniZc equipment. He made an
extended plea for a new science hall.
OF the $3O5,000 asked, $l75,OO0 Is
the estimate for the power plant. Mr..
Cooley said II was folly to talk Of
$4,000 being all that should be ap-
proprated this session. That would
build the power house, but the build
ing would then have to wait for an
other legislature for more money be-
fore It could be connected up The
heating plant is nearly worn out. he
said, and is overloaded. and tho light
ing plant also so badly overloaded
that "it is only by the grace OF God
that there has not been a great con-
flagration on the campus In the pres
ent plant only West Virginia coal,
costing SO a ton. can only be used,
while with a modern heating plant
Michigan coal costing 81 a ton could
be used, and $4,000 tons are used an
nually."
The five regents agreed that the ao-
solutely necessary improvements
might as well not be started If but
$l75, 600 was allowed.

LOBBYISTS BUSY
IN LEGISLATURE
PRESENCE IN LANSING RECALLS
ATTEMPTED LEGISLATION
AGAINST THEM TWO
YEARS AGO.

Lansing, Mich, March S1.-Lobby-
lists are again i'm the field at the capi-
tol, buttonholing members in the old
way and calling them over in the cor
ner TO hear reasons why this or that
bill should not be allowed to get
through.
It's the old game which once made
matters affecting interests doubtful of
fair consideration, is the days when
the railroads ard other big interests
held sway with their Representatives
here, Earlier in the session these rep
resentauves were content TO come into
town and present before committees or
at public hearings, their reasons for
and against certain legislative matters.
Within the last 10 days the system
has been changed and the private con-
ference has taken the place of the pub
lie hearing.
There are several bills affecting rail-
roads, express companies, telephone
companies and other interests mp for
attention in these closing days and the
result Of the visit OF several lobbyists
will be watched with degree Of at
tention.
Two years ago the legislature had a
great battle over a proposal to pass a
law requiring lobbyists when here on
business to register and state the rea-
son of their business The bill was
killed after one of the hottest fights
of the session and certain members ir-
ritated at the incidents occurring now
are threatening TO revive it and ask
for action at this session.
