INDIANS ARE ROBBED
LUMBER CONCERN CHARGED
WITH DEsPoILING cHIPPEWAs.
Notification Of State Statute Makes
Possible Gigantic Acquisition
Of Lumber.

Washington. - Disclosures OF the
neglect and d~espoliation of the Chip
pewa Indians on the White Earth res
ervation in Minnesota are to be laid
before the house of representatives as
the result Of an investigation con-
Quoted by Representative Graham OF
Illinois, chairman Of the committee on
expenditures in the interior depart
ment.
Under the provisions of various acts
passed by congress in the last ten
years thousands of the Indians on this
reservation were given timber lands
Of extraordinary value and then in
duced to sell the timber to powerful
lumber companies operating in Mime
sofa.
The lumber concerns were even
enabled to carry out their gigantic
acquisition of timber by a federal
law multiplying a Minnesota statute.
Chairman Graham and Congress
man Henry George of New York re-
turned here from the reservation,
where they have been taking evidence
in the inquiry for nearly a month.
They reported the Indians to be in a
d%eplorable condition. The committee
will hear additional witnesses In
Washington and then make a report
to the house.

INTERSTATE BODY HIT
COMMERCE COURT ANNULS ITS
ORDER, POWER is REDUCED.
Decision Holds Reduction of Freight
Rates in South Unlawful-Rig
Loss to Railroads..

Observation-Disclosures was added
to the controversy between the
interstate commerce commission
and the commerce court as a result Of
the courts annulment in a decision
handed down by Judge Archibald Of
the commissions order for a reduc-
ton Of certain class freight rates
from New Orleans to points in Ala
bama and Florida.
The court declares congress never
intended to clothe the commission
with the wide authority it has as
sumed.
1t is further asserted that the court
could discover nothing in the record
in support of the conclusions of the
commission or to justify the reduc-
lions in rates that it ordered.
This was the first case argued be-
fore the commerce court after its es-
tablishment, more than a year ago.
1t proved to be a stubborn proceeding,
and the court took full time for its
consideration.
1t was brought by the Louisville &
Nashville railroad in an effort to mod
ify or annul the commissions order
of reduction.
1t was declared in the record that If
the order of the commission fixing
what, in Its opinion, were reasonable
rates, were enforced, the loss to the
Louisville & Nashville would be $780,
900 a year.

South Dakota Teachers.

be drawn concerning the success OF

South Dakota Schools for Out Da-
kOtanS," and South Dakota Teachers

by the state superintendent, and the

were just 81 teachers. In 1910 there
high schools from South Dakota col
legeS; in 1911 there were So such,
and the number is increased to 81 for
the present yea The total number
of teachers in 1911 was Ais, and this
year All; 276 and 303 with degrees,
respectively. The University Of South
Dakota leads with the number of
teachers supplied state schools with
30. 30 with degrees and one without;
and is closely followed by Dakota
Wesleyan with 10, Is with degrees,
four without, and Yankton college
with is, divided as to degrees, IL with,
five without. The Aberdeen Normal
comes fourth with IS instructors, none
with degrees; Huron college furnishes
five graduates and two non-graduates;
South Dakota State college, three de-
gree holders; Madison Normal two
graduates; Sioux Falls college two.
and Redfield college one. OF the total
of 81, 81 are the graduates Of full
-four ear college courses in state
schools. and So normal graduates, or
with unfinished college courses. These
figures show that there is a steady
yearly increase in the number of
South Dakota teachers from South
Dakota schools; possibly terminating
when the alumni Of all the different
institutions grow larger, in the ma
jority of the instructors being home
