GREAT INDIAN RESERVATIONS

The legislature of New Mexico has
taken up the matter of the great res
erNations set apart to the use of the
Indians and has prepared a memorial
to congress asking that the lands be
prorated among the members of the
tribe, each one to receive not more
than 100 acres. AT the present time
each member of the Navajo tribe hac
more than 1900 acres, which is too
much land for an Indian that does
not till the soil or use it other than
for grazing purposes.
The other Indians have like
amounts i'm their various reservations
that should be reduced On the great
reservations are many minerals that
might be used by the white men and
these minerals ought either to be
opened to exploitation by the whites
increment to go to the funds of the
Indians. In Mohaye county the Wall
lapai Indians have a reservation set
apart to their use, but not one of the
tribe makes his home there except
during a few months of the year,
when one or two families may go to
Muttiwittica spring, where they grow
melons and corn. On this reserva-
tion is some of the grandest scenery
in the state, while there is consider
able mineral to be found in many
places on the east and west angles
of the great tract of land. 1t iE
in part ideal grazing land, but the
major portion is composed of inaces-
sible bluffs and deep ravines. The
Indians have no desire to go upon
their reservation, but maintain their
habitation in various parts of tn
county, where they may obtain en-
ployment from the whites. There i
not the least reason why this and
other similar reservations should no,
be thrown open that the lands and
minerals may become useful to the
people
The Wailapai reservation was SET
aside for the Use of the Indians by
an executive order of the late Pres.
Arthur, about 1882 Why it should
have obtained executive sanction re-
mains mystery to this day, but

Senator Wood of Maricopa county
has introduced bill requiring
newspapers printing public notices to
publish continuously in their papers
names of owners and stockholders
and Indebtedness. We don't suppose
there is a newspaper i'm the state
that would seriously object to giving
the public this information, but what
good would such publication be to
the people? Probably few polite
ians might be able ito further their
ambitions by securing information
that is none of their business. The
public notice provision is a mere sub
terfuge, as all papers publish public
notices. Such law would be class
legislation, and We do not believe the
measure will succeed in passing.

Caron Directory Co.
By Stephen D. Smith, Pres.
The suburban population to all in
tents and purposes part of the city
would make the population II go,
but the official figures of course are
to be accepted as the present popu-
lation The fact that the city has
more than 10000 population will
have an important bearing on the
future tax rate of the city. The city
is now entitled to a rate of 81 90 for
general purposes instead of Is cents
and the cancellation of the bonded
debt of the city last year. now makes
it possible to build some permanent
streets without increasing the pres
ent tax rate of 81 so on the 500.
The levy last year was:
General Purposes rs
R. R. Bonds Sinking Fund rs
School Fund so
| Total $3.50
| Mayor Meacham will recommend
to the council when the levy is laid
in June that the rates be as follows:
General Purposes 10
For Vitrified Streets 20
For R. R. Bonds Sinking Fund .O5
For Public Schools so
Total 81 so
The small remnant of $500 of
Railroad Bonds can be retired at 5
cents levy in three years.
The street levy of 20 cents. sub
stituted for the former sinking fund
levy, will raise more than
1000 this year and at least 81. 900
can be spared from the street ap-
portionment from the general fund,
giving $4,000 for vitrifed brick
streets without one cent increase in
taxes. The same amount next year
would be enough to pave about ten
blocks in the business section of the
city without the issue of bonds.
The court of Appeals has decided
that school debts are not city debts
and the city of Hopkinsville is vir
tually out of debt. OF the High
School bonds 1000. $4,000 have
been issued and S4 900 already taken
up. The other $4,000 will be issu'
ed June /. The bonds will be taken
care Of out of the present scho0
levy without increasing taxes.

S1Shoot to KILL" Shouts Leader,
Waving Red Flag.
OFFICERS ARE CUT DOWN
One B!uecoat ls Stabbed In the Back,
Another's Head Crushed-TWen-

Called.

Lawrence, Mass, Oct. CLOSING
In on squad Of policemen who, with
drawn revolvers, had attempted to
force them to disband, the leaders of
a procession of 5000 textile strikers
stabbed one officer in the back,
crushed in the head of another with
a blow from a club and seriously in
jured several more Sunday.
Hundreds of shots were fired in
the battle and the rioting that fol-
lowed. The police were routed and
the strikers continued their parade.
The streets are crowded with strik-
ers and more trouble is feared. The
populace, largely composed OF mill
workers, practically is in state of In
surrection
Three thousand Of the workers had
gathered at the railroad station at
noon to welcome several hundred Wis
iting sympathetic workers from near
by mill towns, who had come to In
dorse the Neutrality-suspicious. strike that
began today.
After the arrival of the trains 5000
Of the workmen and their sympathiz-
ers formed in line to march to the
center of the city. At their head was
Carlo Presca, a prominent member OF
the Industrial Workers of the World,
waving a red flag
The cause of the interference by the
police with the parade was the appear
ance OF red flags bearing an anarchis-
tic inscription. Not an American flag
was carried. One of the banners
read:
For the progress of the human race
we have jails, gallows, guillotines and
electric chairs for the people who pay
to keep the soldiers to kill them when
they revolt against Wood and other
cars of capitalism. Arise, slaves OF
the world. No God. No master. One
for all, all for one"
The Wood referred to is William M.
Wood, president of the American
Wooden company.
A squad of policemen was rushed
out to meet the marchers with orders
to dispense them. The marchers re-
fused to break step. The policemen
drew their revolvers and charged. The
crowd fell back as they saw the wea-
pons, but. gaining courage as Presca
and his aides spurred them on, closed

The men and machine were hurled
diagonally across the road into field

said death resulted directly from
hemorrhage of the brain. The top
of Scudalari's skull was fractured,
his right arm broken, and his body
seriously torn.
Bruce-Brown died at Trinity hos
pital three hours after the accident.
Surgeons had trephined his skull on
both sides in an unavailing effort to
save his life.

friend; Ralph De Palma, Teddy Tetz-
laff, and other we'll known drivers
stood weeping in the hospital corrl-
dor as Bruce-Brown was wheeled

Brown was one of the best known
automobile race drivers in the (coun-

CAMPAIGN FUND
Secretary of Late Hartman
Shows Receipt to Senate.
SAYS RECORDS WERE BURNED
Son OF Cornelius NJ. BIlse Testifies
That Papers Showing Contribution
Was Destroyed by His Father
STANDARD Oil Did Not Aid.

Washington, Oct &c. G. Teget-
hoff, former private secretary to the
late e. H. Hartman, testified before
the senate committee investigating
campaign fund donations.
Mr.. Tegethoff produced series of
papers from the Hartman estate files.
The first was receipt signed by G. N.
Bliss as treasurer of the national Re-
publican committee, dated 1904. 1t
was for $4,000, which Mr. Tegethof
said was Mr. Harriman's contribution
to the Republican campaign fund OF
1904
Then Mr. Tegethoff put in the rec
ord a series of letters in which Pres1-
dent Roosevelt asked E. H. Hartman
to visit him at the White House dur
ing the fall and winter Of 1903. Let
tiers continued up to May II, when
President Roosevelt wrote asking Har-
riman if he could take lunch with me
on Monday, May 23."
In a subsequent letter written by
William Loeb, then secretary Of the
president, it was set forth that Sec
rotary of State Knox, Mr.. Cortelyou
and Senator Murray Crane would also
be present.
Did you ever hear Mr.. Hartman
say anything about campaign contribu-
tons in 1904?" asked Senator Clapp.
Yes, in 1907, when he was i'll, just
before Christmas he called me up to
his house." answered Tegethoff. I'VE
talked over the relations between him
and Mr.. Roosevelt then and in 1904
l knew he had visited Washington at
the presidents solicitation and that as
result of that visit he raised this
money for the campaign"
How much?"
1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, of which $4,000 was his own
contribution. l knew at the time that
he was raising the money"
You were with Mr.. Hartman In
1908. Do you know of any contribu-
tons he made In that year?'
mo, none," said the witness.
Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., was the
first witness.
Under examination by Senator Payn-
ter the witness said that his father
had told him he allowed the books OF
the treasurer's Office of the Republi-
can national committee to be de-
stroyed because he, the elder Bliss, be-
lieved the records useless.
Have you found any papers bear
ing on the campaign funds handled by
your father?" asked Chairman Clapp.
Mr.. Bliss placed in evidence a re-
port from the auditor who examined
his fathers accounts when he resigned
as treasurer of the Republican COM
mittee He said the records did not
show any contribution by John D.
Archbold or the Standard Oil com
pany. Members of the committee ex-
amined the records.
The letter added that the Republi-
can committees receipts in 1900 had
been "a trif1e below $3.O00,000;" in
1896, $3,500,O00, and in 1892. $780,
