SUSPECT INDIAN GRAFT.
Affairs On Montana Reservations May
Be Probed.

WASHINGTON, May a. Indian
affairs in Montana and other western
states are to be probed by the house
committee on expenditures In the in.
terror department., 1t being the belief
OF members Of the committee, and par
ticulsrly of Chairman Graham, that
there has been improper use made of
Indian lands and Indian moneys In
recent years.
1t is probable that officials of the In
dian service, serving on reserv ations
in Montana, will be summoned to
Washington to testify before the com.
mittee, and that other Montana per.
cons, including Indians will be
brought here as witnesses.
Chairman Crab am is suspicious th at
the appropriation of $500, 900 in the
last Indian bill for the irrig alton OF
Flathead lands was not Legislation in
the interest of the Flathead Indians
but In the interest of speculators, who,
he has been advised, have bought up
Flathead Indian lands.
Graham thinks there may be some.
thing which ought to be uncovered in
connection with this work, and he In.
tends to find out whether his sus.
picions are we'll founded.
The Crow reserv atien will also be
inv vestig ated. According to informa.
coming from Graham's committee
it is charged that hundreds of thous.
ands Of dollars appropriated to this
reservation. ostensibly to improve
property OF the Indians, was actually
used to improve lands that have fal
len into the hands of land grabbers,
with the result that the government
has lost the money, the Indians have
lost the lands and manipulators are
getting the benefit.

May Probe Express Companies.

WASHINGTON, May S.-A probe OF
the express company trust, which is
charged with being in collusion with
the railroads to extort unreasonable
rates from the public has been decided
upon by the interstate commerce com.
mission.
Petitions asking for such an inves
tigation have been received from over
100 cities. The basis of the investigs q.
tion is the claim Of shippers that the
express companies have extorted for.
tunes from the public without giving
any adequate return.

WILL REDUCE REVENUE.
Congressman Says Free List Bill Is
Loosely Drawn.

Loosely 0ToWu'
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Not since
the republican guns were unlimbered
against the democr attic free list bill by
Minority Leader Mann more than .
week ago has the debate in the house
developed such an attack on the meas.
ure ss was made today by Represent.
alive Hill OF Connections, republican
member of the ways and means com.
mittee and one of the leading repub.
lican advocates of the Canadian reci.
procity bill.
Mr.. Hill asserted that the bill de.
vised by the democr attic leaders romov.
ing the tariff duties from many food
products and manufactured articles
was 80 crudely drawn and 90 indefinite
In its terms that no estimate could be
made for the revenues 1t would cut
of or of the effect it would have on
business and commerce. He said that,
instead Of $40, 900 900 reduction in reve'
nue. as the democrats expected. 1t
might be made q reduction Of CSC, 900,
600, and that the effect on business
would be to transfer many aourishing
industries to Europe.
Mr.. Hill explained that the Interna.
tional Harvester company, the large
sewing machine companies and other
manufacturers would be able. under
the democr attic bill, to manufacture
parts of their machines cheaper abroad
and bring them to this country to be
assembled by cheap labor here. Me-
chanics and skilled labor would suffer
loss of employ yement, he said.
He declared that the democratic bill
was so general In terms as to admit
almost uything free OF duty. Wooler
goods, all kinds of wire, all sorts o
fabrics, zinc, leadland pig iron were
among the things be mentioned.
Mr.. Hill particularly attacked thu
bill for making many manufactured
products free of duty, like shoes, har
ness and saddlery, while leaving {
duty against the raw material tha
American manufacturers have to i'm
port. he said also that in attempting
to make free of duty the bagging uset
to wrap cotton bales the democratic
bill would let in free the bagging use.
by the fertilizer trust, by the cemen
mills of the United States and by othel
monopolies, which would m AXE no cor
responding reduction in prices to con
sumers.

A MONEY OFFER
FOR ". ]. BRYAN
Memphis Will Give 100000 For
Such a Citizen

Washington, April 4.-William J.
Bryan today told the committe sent
here by the citizens of Memphis to
invite him to hake his home in that
city that he could not accept. The
invitation was extended at a luncheon
given Bryan by the committee.
Judge NJ Greer of Memphis pre-
scented the Memphis idea. He was
followed by Senators Lea and Taylor
and Representative Gordon of Ten
nessee, Representative Sisson of Mis-
sisssippi. Robinson of Arkansas and
Duke c. Bowers of Memphis
They begged Bryan To come where
1.-THE people loved him. and where he
would always find friends" Mr.
Bowers said he felt sure that Mem
phis could easily raise $4,000 600 il
that would be any inducement.
Mr.. Bryan replied that il was not a
money consideration. IL looked at in
that light ne would not be worthy of
such an invitation. He said he
knew he had friends in the south who
would stand by him and that is why
they did not need him, but why he
was needed more in the north.

THE SONORA WAR
MOVING EASTWARD
The Reported Abandonment by FEEDER
ais of Arizpe.

Aqua Prieta, April 6.-The federal
troops which operated at Ures, have
returned TO HermOsillO. while the rebels
have moved eastward, and two days
ago were seen between Aconchi and
Baviacori.
A new insurrecto force under Ricardo
Romero. a merchant of Bocoache, has
taken the field, bringing the rebel
strength on the Sonora river to zoo.
The only federal troops in that sec
ton are 300 volunteers at Arizpe.
Fighting has been reported there. but
there are no details. The city is gov
erned by Lucas Pico. known TO be a
man of valOr. The entire section of So
nora from Hermosillo to the Chihuahua
line is practically in the hands of rebels.
Red" lopez held up a train today
and made a statement that he intended
to use it to convey troops north with
the intention of taking Aqua Prieta
But he decided to postpone this action
because of the unusual number of wOm-

WATER DRINKING SPORTS"
Visitor From California Observes a
Chance in New York Ways.

There were ten men in the party.
Nine were New Workers. and each bore
a name famous in the world of sport.
The tenth was from San Francisco and
the nine had come together to hear and
consider a gambling proposition that
included joint outlay. POLITICALLY and
otherwise, of nearly a millions dollars.
The ten men were amply able to put
up the million and were willing enough
If they could see sure profits.
/ For four hours, until late at night,
the party sat in a private room in a
Tenderloin resort discussing the scheme
and means for putting il into opera
ton. At last ii was apparent that no
more progress could be made until alb
sent interests had been consulted and
by common consent it was agreed to
meet at the same place two nights later.
We've been too busy TO get thirsty"
remarked the Californian, as he pushed
IA button; lets have something to
drink"
A white jacketed negro soon ap-
peared and the westerner b-eezily de-
manded:
Name your Ticker"
The waiter took his orders, departed,
and In due course returned with six
glasses of water, two short glasses of
milk. one Pilsner beer and a pint of
wine.
The San Franciscan decided that he
wanted a snack with his wine, but he
could induce only one of the New York
! ers to break his rule of not eating be-
tween dinner anc breakfast. and he re-
fused to tackle anything heavier than
a chicken sandwich.
. Eating and. drinking have gone out
of fashion among the bis sports

THE DlTTY OF DREADFUL NIGHT

A tomcat sat beside the house
Inhabited by me,
And sang a tune by Richard Strauss
From one A. NJ. till three.
He tore up slumber by the roots,
| threw, resolved and grim,
pair of large and vicious boots
Unerringly at him.
He died. Beneath the blankets
sprawled,
/ closed my eyes once more,
When-loi-that cat came back and
bawled
oh, Promise Me-" till four
My rage in Berserker state,
A heavy chair l SHE'D
With superhuman vigor straight
Athwart that cat. He died
i spoke one final fearful curse,
