Special Officers Vigilance.

Thomas A. Larson, a special officer OF
the Indian Office. obtained informal ton
from several sources yesterday that MEM
bers Of the council had been seen In bar
rooms. When Larson confronted the two
Indians named he had difficulty in obtain
ing confirmation of the reports, because
neither of them can speak a word of Eng
lish. Speaking through an interpreter,
they told him they had walked into
Mades' barroom, held up a coin so the
bartender could see it, and went through
the motion of drinking. They were ac-
companied by two other members of the
council, they said, who waited in the bar
with them. but did not take anything to
drink.
Mades explained that he acted in fgnor-
ance Of the law and furnished personal
bond for his appearance. When he was
arrested information was obtained from
other members of the party which the
agents say will undoubtedly lead to other
arrests.
What Agents Expect to Show.
The agents will endeavor to show at
the hearing that other Indian visitors
have been able to get all the fire water
they wanted
Red Eagle and Bacon Rind are wealthy
Oklahoma Indians, each being worth
about $4,000. The council is composed
of ten members. These members have
been in Washington for several days on
important tribal business. The Osages
are said to compose the wealthiest tribe
per capita in the United States.

Ready by Next Session.

If the effort to secure an appropriation
for a survey is successful 1t is believed
that definite plans for the carrying out
of the sewer project will be ready tor
submission to the legislature at its next
session. It is estimated that, under the
most favorable conditions, the project
cannot be put into operation for at least
two years.
District officials. who are manifesting
the keenest interest in the proposed un-
dertaking, will petition Congress for au-
thority to cooperate with the Maryland
authorities, 1t Is stated. The District 8
share in the contemplated arrangement
will be to carry off the sewage after 1t
has been delivered to the District inter-
ceptors by the sewers from the Maryland
communities. The sewage will be deliv-
cred to the interceptors at points on the
District line.
Three sections probably will be en-
braced within the sanitary district, or
districts, proposed to be created. They
are those whose sewerage drains into
Anacostia valley. Rock creek valley and
the Little Falls branch. The question OF
whether there should be one sanitary dis
trict for all of them or separate districts
will be threshed out by the committee at
its first meeting.

Trial to Occur Tuesday.

Mades will be called before United
States Commissioner Arson s. Taylor for
hearing next Tuesday afternoon, at 2:3O
o'clock, at which the two Indians-Bacon
Rind and Red Eagle-have been sum-
moned to testify. officers Of the Indian
Office have been rounding up witnesses.
Mades was released yesterday following
his arrest. on 500 bond for his appear
ance when wanted. The minimum PEN
atty for violation Of the law is imprison-
ment for sixty days and 500 fine, while
the maximum penalty is two years in
prison and $50 fine.
The attention OF the officers of the In
dian Office has been called heretofore to
the fact that intoxicants have been sold
to visiting Indians. but the department
has rarely been able to procure evidence
sufficient to cause an arrest When Ba-
son Rind and Red Eagle were caught ac-
cidentally by special officer of the de-
partment real evidence was in hand, and
investigations were Immediately ordered.
According to the Indian office, the two
Indians purchased liquor Friday.

Bacon Rind and Henry Red Eagle. two
members of the Usage Indian council Of
Oklahoma. who are in Washington on
business relating to their tribe, INDUCED
freely in various brands of fire water
during their wanderings about the city
and have stirred up a hornets nest in
the land Office which may possibly lead
to number Of arrests Of bartenders
in the city. It is alleged they have been
selling liquor to visiting Indians.
1t is regarded as probable that the
arrest yesterday afternoon of Nicholas
Mades. son of the proprietor of a barroom
at and Pennsylvania avenue north
west, charged with violating the United
States law, which prohibits the sale Of
intoxicants to any Indian, will lead to a
rigid investigation. 1t was the substance
of statement issued yesterday from the
indian Office.
Upon the statements of Red Eagle a
warrant has been made out for the ar
rest Of another bartender. and disclosures
of other members of the council may re-
suit in several warrants being issued
within the next twenty-four hours.
1t was said at the Indian office that
there are more than 100 Indians In Wash
lngton at present, representing various
tribes throughout the country, and in
stances have been revealed to officers
of the department which show that a
number of the red men have purchased
drinks about the city.
