INDIAN MA|DENS
HERE TO DISCLOSE
ALLEGED FRAUDS
Will Tell How Their Rich
Tracts of Land Practical
ly Were Stolen.

The Indian girls who came to Wash
ington to appear before the Graham
committee are Maggie Warren, Isabel
,, Warren, Bebeshank, and Kahdeen. Ex-
cept Maggie Warren. who is the inter
prefer, knowing English we'll enough TO
be a competent stenographer and typist,
all are actually girls in age. And they
have stories to relate. 1t is said, that
will be proof enough that fraud has
been practiced.
1t Is a big piece Of land that they
came from, the White Earth Indian
reservation. northwest Of Minneapolis.
1t is thirty-six miles square, less four
townships. There are about 1000 Indians
on II. Isabel Warren and Bebeshank
and Kahdeen were out in the woods
picking blue berries when they were
found, and brought in and prepared for
long journey.
Never on Train.
They had never been on a train, but
they knew that they were in the hands
OF friends and were not afraid. Be-
sides Maggie Warren, who had Travelled
considerably, there were Major John r.
Howard, the superintendent of the
reservation, and J. H. Hinton, an official
Of the Land office at Washington.
So they left their homes, the wild
fields, forest, the lakes and streams, and
came to the home of the Great White
Father to tell him how the palefaces
had treated the children Of their red
brothers.
Isabel Warren is to tell how, while
she was child, her estate was pro-
bated as II she were dead, and how
IT was disposed of. Bebeshank is to
tell how, two years ago, when she
was fifteen. she signed away not only
her allotment Of 100 acres, but her
brothers also. Kahdeen is to tell
how she sold eighty acres for 5000,
when she was fifteen. There will be
a grim touch of humor when IL is
brought out that the grantee made
the grantor pay SIS for having the
deed made.
These are but some of the stories
that the committee will hear. They
are to learn, II Is promised, how hun
dreds Of Indians have alienated their
valuable lands for a trifie-"tust for
a handful of silver-Just for a riband
to tie in his coat"
Big Tracts Sacrificed.
They sold big tracts Of timber and
mineral and agricultural lands for
old saddles and wagons and tin
medals and bottles of fre-water.
The Indian girls are staying at the
Womens Christian Association at
17l9 Thirteenth street northwest. By
the time they had reached Washing
ton they had seen so much of civiliza-
tion that they were somewhat ac-
customed to IL. They are dressed in
conventional clothes.
Thomas Sloan, an Omaha Indian,
and a member of the bar at Pendar,
Neb., will interrogate the three girl
witnesses

Chevy Chase Dancers
Watched by Hundreds

Watching others dance at Chevy
Chase is nightly pastime in which
hundreds seem to find entertainment.
The dancers themselves are numer-
GUS and the spectators even more SO.
Attendance at the resort continues
very large.
= An exceedingly warm evening
brings a few more people than a cool
one, but even on nights, when the
weather seems threatening, hundreds
of people take the street cars to
Chevy Chase.

manent protective organization to be
known as the Arkansas Valley Prod
ucts Association, and chose the fol-
lowing officers: c. F. Briggs of Fow-
Ter, president; Ralph Green of Bristol,
vice president; W. C. WiX of Lamar,
secretary; H. F. Walls of Las Animas
and c. A. Pinkham of Holly directors.
The purpose of the organization is to
protect dealers from unscrupulous
brokers and commission men, who
have made claims of off grade ship
ments handled through them until
shippers would reduce the drafts. In
vestigation has proven most of these
claims unjust, and the association pro-
poses to keep an inspector at the prip-

ierences will be referred for adjust
ment, and who will determine to whom
loss is probably due. Dealers have
been losers by farmers refusing to
clear the first cutting thoroughly from
the ground, and the second cutting.
