Poorly Clad and Poorly Fed.

"They live in the most primitive condi-
tons, poorly clad and still more poorly
fed, and it is the exception rather than
the rule that their children go to school
at ALL says Supt. Kelsey. He adds that
most Of them have no knowledge what
ever of business transactions and that
they know nothing about their land ex-
cept what some person who has obtained
lease from them tells them"
The report says that many Indians who
were blind for years now go about unat-
tended or have their sight entirely re-
stored, as the result of the work of two
eye specialists, who during the past year
found the contagious eye disease,
trachoma. very prevalent among the full
hoods Mr.. Kelsey adds that many men,
bers Of the Five Tribes who are dying Of
tuberculosis might be cured or have their
lives prolonged with proper attention.

Further Buckley Inquiry Unlikely.
The January term of the corporation
court for this city, Judge l.. c. Barley
presiding, will convene Thursday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, at which time the jury
will again consider the inquiry into the
death of Patrick Buckley, the hoy
guide" whose body was found beside the
fire escape in the rear of the old Brad
dock House Sunday morning, November
IL.
The jury investigated Buckley's death
recently, and after hearing the testimony
of large number of witnesses in the
case reported that it did not find sufficient
evidence to bring in presentment in the
case, but recommended that further eff
forts be made to obtain additional evil
dence.
Chief Goods said this morning that
there were no new developments in the
case. For this reason it is doubtful If
any further investigation will be made, in
asmuch as all of the testimony obtainabie
has been presented.
There is only one criminal case which
will be presented to the jury for con-
sideration, that of Henry Stevens, colored,
charged with feloniously cutting Peter
Snellings.

AGAINST POWERS
I TO FIX PRICES.
SECRETARY NAGEl WOULD
LIMIT AUTHORITY OF TRADE
COMMISSIONS.
CORPORATION DATA :
Says Congress Should Have Those
Engaged in Interstate Trade
Furnish Certain Import
- ant Facts.
CORPORATION DATA

Washington, D. c., Dec 17.-Chas
Nagel, secretary Of commerce and la
Dor, would sharply define and restrict
the powers and discretion of the pro.
posed federal commission ITO regulate
industrial corporations.
In his annual report submitted to
President Taft, the secretary op
poses the endowment of such com.
mission, If created by congress, with
far-reaching powers equal to those
exercised by the interstate commerce
commission over railroads He dis
approves the suggestion that the com.
mission have authority to fix prices
of commodities.
Epitomizing the doctrine for gov
ernmental supervision of business,
Mr.. Nagel says:
Instead Of pressing federal regu.
lation as far as possible, the real
desideratum in legislation affecting
the country's business should Ibe to
preserve to the greatest extent con-
sistent with the public welfare, = the
element of self-regulation. The effort
should be to lay down principles OF
conduct sufficiently specific to impose
desired restraints, at the same time
leaving wide field for individual
VA. I
Opposes Fixing Of Prices.
II such trade commission is well
defined, the secretary says, ut may
serve the general purpose of giving
large industrial and commercial con-
Germs much needed federal authority
and control. 1t is possible by lodging
in the commission well defined dis:
creation, an intelligent purpose may
be served. ~
But the obvious danger is that
such commission, once created, will
soon be vested with further powers.
The disposition will undou btedly be
to give it authority to fix prices and
conditions Of operation similar to
that which the interstate commerce
commission now exercises with re-
spect to railroads and their rates. In
other words there is strong tenden-
cy to disregard the fundamental dis.
tinction between public carrier and
a private enterprise"
