Roosevelt Plans Campaign.

OYSTER BAY, July ga campaign
along novel lines was sketched in bare
outlinelast night by Colonel Roosevelt.
As the candidate of the new progress.
sive party for the presidency Colonel
Roosevelt intends to make an appeal
largely to the farmers and wage work.
ers, on the ground that neither the re-
publican nor the democratic party is
attempting seriously in this campaign
to deal with the fundamental economic
and social conditions which confront
the country. Particular attention will
be paid to the high cost of living.
Colonel Roosevelt said that Senator
Dixon of Montaua, who managed his
campaign for the republican presiden.
tial nomin alton, will in all probability
be his campaign manager in his fight
as the head of the new party.
The senator's headquarters proba-
bly, will be in New York, where he has
spent much of his time since the Chi
cago convention. This program has
been agreed upon as definitely as pos.
sible In advance of the national con-
vention in Chicago next month.

Will Adjust Land Matters.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-Governor
Norris had conferences today with the
assistant secretary of the interior and
the chief of the forest service and left
for home this afternoon with assur-
ances that the state land matters now
pending would be speedily adjusted.
The interior department promised to
take up and act promptly on all pend.
ing state selections, covering come
800, 900 acres, and also told Governor
Norris that they would give early &C.
tion on transfer of Flathead Indian
lands to state and private owners.
The forest reserve promised to make
early surveys and field examin ations
in order to complete the exchange OF
q compact body of forest reserve for
scattered school sections which the
state has proposed to turn over to the
government. The land is to be ex'
changed on an equitable basis and
whatever lands are granted to the
state are to be held as state forest
reserve.

Frauds On Indian Reserve.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Conditions
on the Crow Indian reserv alton in
Montana will be investiga ated by the
department OF justice, If the senate
passes the resolution introduced in the
senate today by Senator Townsend Of
Michigan. This resolution directs the
secretary OF the interior to turn over
to the attorney general all records of
the Indian bureau relating to the Grow
Indians and directs the attorney gen.
eral to make an investigation Of these
records and all relative facts and take
such action in the federal courts as he
may deem proper as result of his in
vestig alton.
In explaining his reason for intro
ducing this resolution Senator Town.
send said: "The resolution was 10.
troduced because of statements made
to me th at frauds had been committed
on the Grow reserv alton. 1t has been
alleged that the Indians were unlaw.
fully deprived of their lande. that
bitches have been built over their res
ervation without their consent and
that other unlawful acts have beer
committed to the detriment of the In
diAns' welfare. While l have ne
knowledge that these statements are
true believe that they should be 10
vestigated."

The bill was called up in the house or
