because he wasn't allowed to attend
certain patient on one occasion. On
cross examination he said that Bosworth
was meek enough to him but not TO
those he thought he could impose upon.

with Bosworth three months, Bosworth
constantly brooded over the fact he was
not allowed to attend certain patti.
ent.

the gold fish in a small glass
aquarium by name and said they knew
him. He would talk to them ten min
utes at time.
Adelaide Simms, another nurse from

an uncomfortable temper at times, con-
stantly complained to the witness, stat
ing that "she had it in for him." and
said she was trying to stick a knife in
his back.

CANADA WATCHING EMIGRANTs.
Trying to Determine How Many Of
Those Who Go to the U. S. Stay.

st. John, N. s., Nov. 23.-The Can
adian immigration department is con-
ducting an investigation of the exodus
from this country to the United States,
and officials of the department are busy
checking up returns. The reports Of the
United States department Of immigra-
ton are taken as basis for the in
vestigation and each individual case re-
ported within a certain period of time
is being followed up and reported on.
The intention of the department is
to arrive at basis on which to figure
the proportion of the number of Can
adams who emigrate to the United
States who are lost to this country. OF
those who declare their intention of re-
naming when they cross the border, a
certain percentage always returns, and
OF those who go temporarily there are
some who remain permanently. In or
der to find out how nearly the United
States reports correspond with the ac-
tual exodus these cases are all being
followed up and reported on.

A strong plea for laws that will enable

well as civilized was made today by Dr.
Carlos Montezuma. an Apache. before the
House committee on expenditures in the
Interior Department. He insisted that
the Indian was deprived OF privileges ac-
corded races coming from foreign shores
Would you have the Indians taken
from the lands OF their fathers and scat
tered throughout the country among the
other races?" DR.. Montezuma was asked.
That is the prophetic hope" he replied
THAT is the American idea. Other races
are scattered and become Americanized
Such shoulud be and i hope ultimately
will be the fate OF the Indian.
HAD I not been taken away when a
child OF four, and transplanted in civiliza-
ton. would not be here today pleading
for my race. / would today be helpless
and useless to the government. I would
still be an ideal reservation Indian on the
plains OF Arizona. / claim that my people
on the reservation are unfortunate. I
have been fortunate"
