mara trial. in which he was chief
counsel for the defense, Clarence Dar-
row, the widely known labor lawyer.

siding.

rington of Chicago, former associate
OF Darrow. According to District At
torney Fredericks a. dictograph was
concealed under calendar in room
occupied by Harrington in the Hay
ward hotel, where Darrow and Har-
rington had many conferences. The

for the state because of evidence all
legged to be in possession of the prose-
cution showing that Harrington knew
of the money transactions between the
defense and certain witnesses. The
dictograph evidence, it Is said, was
taken by two court reporters who will

Washington, May 14.--All the tariff
bills that have passed the house will
be disposed of by the senate before
the end of the session, and probably
without interfering with the plans Cor
an early adjournment, according to
Senator Simmons in charge Of these
measures in the senate.
When the agricultural bill is dis
posed of we will take UP the metal
bill again" said Simmons today, "and
after a few more speeches we win fix
a day for vote.
Naturally the appropriation bills
are given preference when they come
up in order to permit the conference
committees to get to work on them as
soon as possible, but 1t is not intended
they shall long prevent consideration
Of tariff measures"
The senator said the chemical bill
would follow the metal bill and after
that would come the wool bill. He
thought the debate on these measures
would not be so extended as that on
the metal bill
The general understanding is that
the progressive republicans will die
tate the tariff course of the senate.
The democrats are expected to go on
record for their own bills, and then
accept the progressive republican
measures with such notifications as
they can secure.

FAVORABLE TO
STEVENSON BILL

Washington, d. c., May IA sub
committee of the house Indian COM
mittee agreed on a favorable report
on the Steenerson bill authorizing the
secretary of the interior to issue pat
ents to the Indians of White Earth
reservation whose alIotments have not
been attacked in the courts.
An amendment will be attached
modifying the Clapp law under which
the present legal tangle over the titles
developed. The Clapp law gives the
mixed bloods absolute title without
defining what a mixed blood is. The
proposed amendment win give title to
persons of one half Indian blood.
Restrictions will continue on the
homesteads OF persons having between
one-half and three fourths Indian
blood, and restrictions win remain on
all full allotments Of all persons with
more than tIlree-f -fourths Indian blood.
1t Is believed that the BILL with this
amendment, viii amply protect the In
terests Of the Indians who have not
alienated any portion Of their lands.
and minors who would receive patents
under the Clapp law when they be-
come Of age.

Poor Patients
in METHODIST HOSPITALS
HOSPITAL WORK CONSIDERED
BY THE COMMITTEE or BIG
CONFERENCE - CHURCH PERL
opIcALs ARE LOSING MONEY
CHANGES ADVOCATED.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 14.-That
the poor should be admitted to the
hospitals Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, when recommended by their
pastors under proper rules and regula-
tions, not as charity patients but as
guests of the church, is embodied in a
report of the committee on temporal
economy to be made to the general
conference in session here.
The committee advocates that a
tone be created in the periodicals that
shall lie between the deadness of
officialism on one side and sensation
alism on the other, and also that
a commission be named to study the
difficulties before the periodicals and
to present plan next April, which viii
do away with monetary loss.
The committee also advocates car
ing for the spiritual welfare of pa
tients, nurses and employees Of all
church hospitals by the employment
of pastor deaconess or other chris
tian workers.
Included in the report also is a rec
ommendation that each conference in
the United States become the patron
Of at leas: one hospital and that no
hospital hereafter be established with
out the approval of the conference,
in whose bounds it is located.
That there is a great problem be-
fore the book committee with respect
to a number Of church periodicals

PROTECTION.
FOR INDIANS

Washington, d. c., May 14.-Cong.
L. B. Hanna will exert every influence
to secure the passage Of his bill pro-
viding for the creation of a commits
sion of three to inquire into the justice
of the claims of the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indians and the Sioux of
the Medawakanton and Wahpakoota
bands against the United States in
connection with the disposition of
lands in Minnesota many years ago.
Mr.. Hanna is very confident that the
Indians have valid claim against the
United States, the lands in question
having been taken over by the United
States at 80 cents per acre, grossly
Inadequate consideration, in violation
Of a treaty. The bill would authorize
the president to appoint one represen-
tative of the Fort Totten, North Da-
kota, Indian tribe, one representative
Of the department Of justice and one
representative Of the Indian Office to
inquire into the merits Of this matter,
paying them at the rate Of $40 per day
and expenses, and requiring them to
report back to the president, who in
turn would recommend action by con-
gress.
Under the treaty Of July 20, 1851,
certain lands were set aside for the
Sisseton and Wahpeton Indians at
yellow Medicine on the Minnesota
river and by that treaty the Indians
ceded to the United States all of their
lands in the state of Iowa and all Of
their lands I'm the territory Of Min
