INDIAN AGENCIES
TO Be ABOLISHED
HOUSE COMMITTEE AGREES TO
THE PLAN TO CUT OFF THEIR
ALLOWANCES.

Washington Feb 22-When the
Indian affairs committee Of the house
struck out all provisions for the In
dian agents of Oklahoma, a severe
blow was dealt at the republican ma
chine of the state and at the same
time thousands OF dollars were saved
to the Indian tribes OF Oklahoma. The
fight waced Wednesday was one of
the most heated ever marking the ses-
sons of the Indian affairs committee
and Representatives Carter and Fer
ris went after needless expense in the
rough shod The republican members
who saw in the striking out Of the
provision a blow at the state machine,
the Indian agents heretofore practi-
cally being under the control Of the
republican party and being used in its
behalf fought to the bitter end against
any action which would cut off the ap-
preparation In addition 10 this the
democrats decided that the bureau Of
Indian affairs should come 10 con
gress each year to obtain specific an-
preparations for the conduct OF In
dian affairs instead of handling the
tribal funds as it sees fit and as it
has done in times past.

With regard to his amendment to

ter said:
The purpose of this amendement

funds TO the same careful procedure
used in the expenditure of the funds
of the federal government The In
dians are the wards of the govern
ment, these funds belong to them and
are trust funds. | can see no reason
why funds handled in "A judiciary ca
pacity should be any more loosely ad-
ministered than the funds OF the fed
eral government itself. The com
missioner of Indian affairs has tod
us that hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of funds were used in the dis
patch of business last year. In my
opinion the expenditures of such
huge sum as this is wholly unneces-
sary and there is but one way to put
check on it and that is to make Mr.
Commissioner come TO congress with
his estimates when he wants to spend
Indian funds.

Wednesdays Coal Conference.

Day after tomorrow a conference will
be held in Philadelphia between repre-
sentatives OF the hard coal operators and
miners, at which it is hoped some adj
vance may be made toward an agreement
that will cause resumption Of work at
the mines. There is every reason for an
adjustment that will permit the continued
production of anthracite. Neither the
operators nor the workingmen are in a
position to conduct a long fight. The
former have been unable, owing to the
naturally heavier consumption of coal
through Industrial developments, and par
ticularly the exceptional demands caused
by the severity of the winter just closed,
to accumulate large supplies in the re-
serve yards The latter have saved but
little money during the nine years of
peace, and so many of them have dropped
out of the union by the simple process of
falling TO pay their dues that the organ

Local Easter Customs.

Washington enjoys one unique feature
of the Easter holiday observance, the
children's festival of egg-roliing in the
grounds of the White House and. Of late
years. held also in other reservations
such as the Zoo Park. As far as known
this custom does not prevail elsewhere
save as it has been copied from the
capital. 1t started q good many years
ago, some time aftH the civil war. with
the rolling of eggs down the west ter.
races of the Capitol grounds, then all In
grass and not as now banked by masonry.
The children came together on these
grounds. at first in small numbers and
from year to year in increasing ranks, to
romp up and down these terraces. rolling
their eggs and racing down the slopes

crushing 1t. winning the race. The eggs
were the stakes. Many amusing mis-
haps occurred. especially when the egg
was not thoroughly cooked.
The use Of the Capitol grounds came to
be 30 general on Easter Monday that the
terraces were seriously marred, and when
IN appropriation was made to bank the
west brow of the hill in marble the chill
dren were stopped from using the space
and they were for . short time out OF
opportunity to enjoy their Easter egg fes-
tival. This was about thirty years ago.
So keen was the disappointment OF the
youngsters that the then occupant OF the
White House invited them to use the
grounds south Of the Presidents dwelling.
Since then the custom has been main
tained with only . few Interruptions, until
the assemblage Of the little ones on the
Presidents lawn has come to be virtually
a national institution. With the Marine
Band in attendance and with every pre-
caution taken to insure order and to give
every child in attendance good time,

In one respect 1t differs somewhat from
the occasion of other days. There is not
al much picking now as there was
then. 1t Is even necessary to explain to
many of the present generation what
picking IL. 1t Is form OF Juvenile
gamble. In which the hardness OF one egg
il pitted against that of another. The
boy who was challenged held his egg
preferably hard boiled to prevent I'M
pleasant results-in his hand with only
the point" or the butt" slightly exposed,
the end being determined by the terms of
the contests. The challenger then tried to
break his opponents egg by tapping 1t
with the end of his own. The winner
was he whose egg withstood the shock of
contact II both eggs were cracked the
game was a tie. When both ends were
cracked the sides were used. 1t was the
unwritten law of picking" that the
eggs of the guinea fowl better known
as ''keet eggs" were barred, for they are
VIGOROUSLY hard. and though the eye of
the expert could quickly identify it, a
skillfully colored 'keet egg might pass
muster until it had done shocking dam
age to the egg stock of an entire neigh
borhood. The passing Of the custom of
picking eggs may be due to the growth of
sentiment against gambling. At all events
1t is now virtually obsolete, and no longer
Is the average small boy given at Easter
time to speculative investments in the
hope of finding one egg of special hard
ness with which to win an altogether I'M
