TAFT WOULD MODIFY
INDIAN LIQUOR LID
Suggestion Made In His Mes.
sage to Congress.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Taft, in special message to congress
on the Minnesota Indian liquor ques
ton, urged legislation withdrawing
government control of the sale oi
liquor from all of the territory GOV
cred by the Indian treaties except
those portions in which a considerable
number of Indians still reside as wards
of the government.
The message relates to three sepa
rate treaties. One with the Winneba
go Indians is to be entirely abrogated
as to the liquor provisions. This af
fects the territory north of St Peter
and west of the Mississippi river, es
timated to contain about S97, 800 acres
In the case of the treaties with the
Chippewas of Lake Superior and the
Mississippi lands the federal contro
of the sale of liquor is restricted to 6
comparatively small territory.
The president also issued orders IL
those instances where the treaties au
thorize the president to repeal or mod
ify the control of liquor.
The executive order of Presiden
Taft relinquishes all of the territory
covered by the treaty Of lS48 from the
control of the government and with
draws government control of the SALE
of liquor on all except certain speci
fed portions of the territory covered
by the treaties of 1851, 1854 and 1853

munity by the course of the govern
ment in the civil suit begun in Mary
land, Attorneys Stevenson, Carpenter
and Butzel filed a plea in the local
federal court to have the criminal
case dismissed.
In the plea 1t is declared that the
subpoenas, served on all the civil suit
defendants, required answers under
oath and that the defendants filed
such answers, and that in these an
swers they disclosed certain facts per-
tanning to the things charged against
them in the indictments found by the
grand jury at Detroit.

in the plea, provide immunity for per-
sons who may give testimony or pro

in the counts of the indictment.
Counsel for the defendants, in theil
plea, recite that they called the atten
tion of the attorney general, by tele
graph, to the fact that the civil suit
subpoenas required answers under
oath and asked for an extension of
time that might possibly be necessary.
The reply, they allege. was favorable,
giving them permission to have the an.
swers sworn to after their filing
1t Is alleged in behalf of the defend
ants that these documentary answers,
sworn to and properly filed in Mary
land at the request of the government,
give immunity to the defendants, re-
gardless of whether they were actually
called to the stand to give testimony
in the suit.

In New Orleans, Monday, October

OF H. H. Bierhorst, aged 68 years.
In the death of Mrs. Bie-horst, the
third district of New Orleans loses
one of it's most noble women. Born
in Germany 6S years ago she came to
the city of New Orleans, the city
that was her home when a little
child reared by an uncle, Mr.. Sturm,
who was a ship chandler, and grocer.
She grew into lovely womanhood
and became the wife of H. II. Bier
horst at an early age. Of a retired
modest and loving disposition her
home was her world, her life an ex-
ample. The writer had the privi-
lego of living with her at times, and
I never knew. her to turn aside those
in need Sh e gave freely to all
charities, the Bethany Home for old
ladies' being one of her beaeficiaries.
Her husband amassed considerable
wealth and belonged to and held po-
sitions of trust in numerous organi-
cations in New Orleans.
She leaves to mourn her loss five
sons and one daughter, Mr.. George
Bierhorst, her fourth son, being a
member of the police jury from the
fourth ward, and residing at Mande-
vile, where the deceased had also a
beautiful home. May the memories
of her dear life cast thoi- influence
about us and prepare us to meet her
in that other life. A Friend

NEW GAME PRESERVE.

BY expending the ridiculously
small sum of 81 year the State OF
Louisiana will add another duck
breeding ground to her present list,
which now numbers four, and a
large tract of ground near Chef
Menteur, which was leased by the
Board Of Commissioners for the Pro-
lection of Birds, Game and Fish, on
Tuesday, will be fenced in and ducks
brought from other parts to inhabit
it.
The land was secured from the
Louisville and Nashville, ,Superinten-
dent Sharles Marshall being most
active in assisting the Game Commis-
sion to secure the ground. The area
embraced is several acres located
about a mile and a half east of Chef
Menteur.
The particular feature about the
tract which caught the quick eye OF
Frank M. Miller, president of the
Game Commission, was that on the
grounds are located seven ponds, the
smallest being over sixty feet in
length and breadth. Mr.. Miller at
once mapped out qlan by which the
Commission could utilize the tract
to it's best advantage. He determin-
ed to secure for the huntsmen in this
part of the State black mallard ducks
at present an unknown quantity.
The black mallard abounds near the
mouth of the Mississippi river and
i'll vermillion and Cameron parishes,
but never frequent the New Orleans
vicinity.
Mr.. Miller intends to build fence
about the newly-acquired property
near the gulf, and to populate that
section with black mallards. He has
made an agreement with the hunters
In Vermillion and Cameron by which
they will send all the wounded NAL
lards to MIN. The fact that the
ducks will be wounded will not de-
tract from their breeding qualities,
and many will recover entirely.
Mr.. Miller was very optimistic as
to the outcome of the scheme. He
said that the commission had order
ed fox tail grass seed, wild potatoes
and grass of the sage family to be
planted in and about the ponds. and
that in short time the conditions
