INDIANS DESIRE LUMP SUM

The Indians Office at Washington
has given the desired permission for
delegation from the Cheyenne River
reservation to go to Washington to
attempt to seizure the changes they
desire in the manner of handling the
opening of the rest of their reserva-
ton. The principal point they desire
to push is that when the land is OPEN
ed to settlement that the government
should set aside lump sum to com
pensate the Indians, and not allow
the matter of payment to drift along
through the years as the land is TAX.
en- The delegation which has start
ed for the national capital is: Judge
Foileart, Straight Head, Aliver Black
Eagle, BAIL Claymore, Charles Jew
EFT. Ed Swami. They are accompan-
led on the trip by Agent King, of that
reservation.

wealth, the need of efficient govern
ment control of corporations and the
problem of just freight and passenger
rates.
He commended the action of the
state In getting physical valuation of
the railroad properties as a basis OF
future rate regulation. He attacked
the arguments as to extravaganza Of
the present state administration. as
brought out by George M. Egan, an
other candidate for governor, and QUOT

claims are false.
Mr.. Byrne said if elected governor

pointments to Office would be made

White Star Line Sends Another YES
sci to Relieve the Mackay-B Bennett
at Scene of Disaster.

In response TO a multitude Of queries
that were pouring into the White Star
line offices to-day concerning the cable
laying steamer Mackay Bennett 1t was
announced that the vessel would not
return to Halifax with the bodies 1t had
recovered from the sea until Saturday
or later.
Nc additional lists Of bodies recov-
cred were received to-day. but there
was a message that the cable-!ayins
steamer Nina would meet and relieve
the Mackay- Bennett to-day. The Nina
left Halifax with $50 coffins aboard, with
instructions to or uise about in the vicin-
ity Of the Titanic disaster until all of
me coffins were filled. The MaoAay-
Bennett carried 100 collins and went out
with similar instructions.
Tho last report from the Mackay-
Bennett boa. stated that she had re-
covered seventy-seven bodies. forty-four
Of which had been Identified. This re-
port was wirelessed via another vessel
and Cape Race. Since then the cable
laying steamer has not succeeded in
forwarding a wireless report. The Nina
has been heard from and gave her posi-
ton, from which 1t is figured that she
will run up TO the Mackay-Bennett to-
day.
