Odor of Coal Oil.

Detectives found that the smell of coal
oil hung about the place, and the womans
body, even though most of her clothing
had been burned away. Another peculiar
thing was that the police on the beat did
not even know who had turned in the
alarm that called out the firemen
Miss Frederick had a brother and
sister, Alfonso and Emily, living In San
Diego. Cal, and a nephew, Lieut.. Ernest
Frederick of the battleship Arkansas
which lately had been at the Brooklyn
navy yard. Her mother came to Brook
Ign from France many years ago
When the firemen found her she was
huddled up in a chair by the stove. In
it was seen that the fire had done small
damage to the room. Heavy smoke
filled the air until the windows were
opened, and thus the first theory that
Miss Frederick had been smothered to
death. DR. Buckley of the Brooklyn
Hospital said she died some time be-
fore the firemen got there.

HUMBUG REVEALED
Germany Has Been Sending
Gull Potatoes to Us.
FOREIGN SPUOS BANNED
Can No Longer Be Imported Owing
to Vegetable Disease.
BIG SHIPMENT HELD UP
Owners Garry Fight Into Courts.
Hoped This Country Will Raise
Salad Tubers.
BIG SHIPMENT HELD UP

A lot of post gastric regrets are COM
| ing to the people of this country who
| like potato salad and who have fondly
| imagined they had been eating the real
| thing, made out of the German salad pO-
| tato. especially when they get it around
! in the hotels and restaurants There are
| about 5000 bushels of unpeeled regrets
| of this sort sitting out on the wharVes
of the New York water front and being
cooled by the North river breezes while
their owners are fighting the case out in
court.
| Germany has for years been raising
! special brand of what is known as
salad potato. This is a small, round po-
| tato that has been largely imported to
| this country
| Banned by Congress.
| When the last Congress passed the
plant quarantine act they barred the i'm
portation of potatoes from all countries
where the potato wart disease existed.
| This is disease that SO far is con-
| fined to Europe. 1t is "a most deadly
! plant ma lady. Canada took precautions
some time ago to keep it out of that
| country and the United States hopes to
| keep it out by rigorous prohibition OF
| imports from countries where 1T exists.
Germany happens to be one of the coun-
| tries that suffer by the American quar-
antine and so the salad potato is held
up.
| But that is by no means the worst of
| it. The Department of Agriculture de-
cided year ago that there was no rea-
son farmers should not grow the small
| special potato here, instead of importing
| it. So the department sent William Or
ton, one of the agricultural experts, over
| to Germany and he spent six months
studying the salad potato in its native
furrow. He decided there was no rea-
son it should not be grown in the United
Trick Is Discovered.
Coming through New York he stopped
and took look at the large consignment
of potential salad that was held UP on
the wharves. What was his surprise to
find that the quarantined potato was not
the salad potato at all, but merely the
culls and understood potatoes from the
German fields that could not be sold any
where at a good price, except in the
United States.
The agricultural officials express the
hope that next year the United States
will begin to grow its own salad potato
and will have the real thing, and a lot
of it. Meantime the owners of 5000
bushels of pseudo salad potatoes sitting
ling duet with the cold north wind.

Plea Registered by Board of
Indian Commissioners.
LAND SHARKS THEIR FOES
Anxious to Crowd Governments
Wards Off Earth.
NAvAJOS ARE ENDANGERED
Curtailment of Present Holdings OPP
posed-Relief Urged for
Poor Pimas.

"RapaciouS land sharks, many of them
of a low and undesirable class are
the worst present-day enemies of the In
dian. They are anxious to crowd the
red man off the face of the earth, and,
failing that extreme accomplishment, de-
sire to get as much as they can of the
real estate in the United States reserved
for these wards of the government, with
no consideration of the rights of the alb
origines.
This is gathered from the annual re-
port of the board of Indian commission
ers, which records varied instances in di-
verse parts of the nation, wherever In
dams are set apart on reservations.
White men, crowding against the borders
of the territories set apart for the In
dams, are everywhere demanding the
privilege to usurp desirable agricultural
grazing and timber lands in the possess
sion of the Indians.
In eastern oklahoma are the hVe CIV
ilized tribes" generally supposed to have
a well established government which pro-
tects them in rights equal to those or
the white men, with adequate schools
and the general characteristics of civ
ilized state. This is true in great meas
ure; but in the midst Of these advanced
Indian communities are to be found 10000
or more restricted" Indians, who are not
in the opinion of the government, capable
of managing their individual affairs.
Live in Primitive Fashion.
About half of these are full-blood In
dams, childlike, incompetent. living in a
primitive fashion and unable to cope with
their white neighbors. These 'neighbors
are land-hungry, and not at all consid-
crate of the rights of the Indian.
Eyes on Navajo Land.
The Navaios, classed as good Indians.
have lands upon which envious eyes are
being cast by greedy white men. There
has been a tremendous increase in the
pressure brought to bear since Arizona
and New Mexico became states for open
ing part of the Navajo lands. the claim
being made that they occupy larger
portion of the territory of the two states
than their numbers or importance Justl-
fies.
The Navajos have given the govern
ment less trouble than any other Indian
tribe. Industrious and almost entirely
self-supporting, they are reasonably free
from diseases common to most Indian
tribes. Their moral standards are com
paratively high, and they present fine
example of Indian life.
The board of commissioners believes
that these conditions are largely due to
the fact that their lands have enabled
them to pursue their industries. particu-
larry sheep raising, so successfully as to
give them a sense of independence and
confidence in their own ability. The COM
mission is not convinced that the clamor
for opening their lands is based to any
extent upon the interests of the Indians.
They recommend that no legislative &C
ton be taken to lessen the extent of the
Navajo lands or to revolutionize the
Navajo mode of living until after thor
ough investigation.

Abraham & Straus' store, until firemen
broke in last night, to find that it was

The bed was a mattress propped on

Barber Her Agent.
Mystery surrounds the case and the
police were hard put to it last night to
find out any one who even knew anything
about the woman. A barber who has for
five years had shop in the basement of
the two-story frame house, said that he
had collected the woman's rents. made
her deposits for her and attended to her
business general. The man. whose name
is Anthony OreckintO, said the rent
money from the various properties
amounted to about Sill. month, and
that about $2JO,OoO was deposited in the

Hears a Sharp Report.

While he was within, he says. he heard
a noise like that made by a stick being
struck sharply on a table, and when he
returned to the piazza he saw Mr.. Pol
lock at the door, wringing his hands and
crying:
For heavens sake, come here, Bart
ell! Come right away, for God s sake!
and then Pollock dashed into the house
again as Bartel ran across the street
When Bartel entered the Pollock house
Mrs Pollock was lying on the dining
room floor while her husband paced
frantically up and down, with tears run
ming down his cheeks. Mrs. Pollock look
ed UP, recognized Bartel and said with
quivering lips, though she could hardly
speak:
Get me out of here. Mr.. Bartel." Then
she lapsed II Inconsistencies.
Bartel anu e husband picked up the
wounded woman and laid her upon a
couch. They then called up DIR. S. N.
MacVean, few doors away, but he was
out, so they telephoned DR.. Charles c.
Murphy of Amityvilie, who arrived ten
minutes later in an automobile.
DR.. Murphy said Mrs. Pollock was in a
serious condition, and telephoned for a
trained nurse. who arrived at 3 o'clock
and at once took charge OF Mrs. Pollock

afternoon. but beyond saying that

MRS. LAURA R. POLLOCK
ATTEMPTS TO KILL SELF
Wife of Wealthy Cloth Expert
Fires Bullet Into Her
Head.

NEW YORK. November 29.-Mrs. Laura
Rice Pollock, the handsome thirty-three-
year-Old wife of Frederick Pollock. one
of the foremost cloth experts in the
United States, wealthy and supposedly
related to one of the noble families of
Vienna, shot herself in the right temple
with a revolver in the dining room of
her home on Ocean avenue, Massapequa,
l.. l., yesterday morning.
The motive for the attempted suicide
is yelled in mystery. AS far as could
be learned, the story of the shooting is
this:
Albert Fl. Bartel, secretary of the
Queens Land and Title Company, whose
home is directly opposite that of the
PollockS, stood on his piazza yesterday
morning shortly before O'Clock calling
to the grocer to deliver some more rolls
as he had company coming to dinner.
The grocer didn't hear, so Mr.. Bartel
went indoors to telephone neighbor to
send the grocer back.

Relief Is Advocated.

The board Of commissioners urges that
relief be afforded the Pima Indians at
the earliest possible moment. 1T Is hard
enough is the comment, Ito instill
habits of industry into Indians who have
not been accustomed to work; it is I'M
speakably unfortunate to have deprived
Indians like the Pimas, who for genera
lions have had the habit of work and
who can and would support themselves,
of the means of self-support.
The commission urges that either dam
project not under consideration, be ap-
proved and proceeded with. or that legal
means be taken to establish the right OF
the Indians to enough of the natural flow
of the ella river to properly irrigate their
lands.
.',The neglect of our government to care
adequately for these Indians has been
driving back toward hopeless pauperlsm
and laziness the largest body of skilled
farmers ever known in the history OF our
Indian tribes" says the report.
Enough emphasis should be laid on
the protection of Indian property, say
the commissioners, further on in their re-
port. ito convince both Indians and
whites that 1t is just as dishonest and
lust as dangerous to violate Indian land
and water rights as it is to violate similar
rights of white men.

 Mrs Wallace came directly from Cusibuirichic, 6 point west of the city of Chihuahua. where Mr Wallace is general manager of the La Princess Mining company operations. Re- gently. several outbreaks occurred in that section. and while no great alarm was felt. still there was sn element of danger from the sporadic revolu- ,ionary uprisines. and 1t was deemed advisable that all American women and families leave for Fl Psso until conditions became more settled. As , a consequence Fl Paso is crowded Sith refugees who are arriving daily from the state of Chihuahua.
 Mrs Wallace experienced consider. | able difficulty CD her trip. many miles | oi which were covered on A hand car. ] since the railroads on one division
 were not running and traffic suspend ed because oi bridges being burned by the revolutionary bands Despite the
 hsrdships and experiences encounter ed, Irs Wallace, with true west cru grit, bravely withstood the excitir 2 trip, and the novel method of IailrosdiDg under difficult . ties is now made an interesting chapter in relating her experiences across the line, to her friends.
 1 Mir Wallace, after accompanying
 his wife to Fl Paso returned to his | miues. Information received from
 that immediate section today is to the effect that trouble is subsiding and the mines working regularly.
