MAY WEAR RELIGIOUS GARB
Controversy Concerning Teachers and
Others in Indian Schools Elk
planned by President Taft.

Washington, Sept. 23.-President
Taft today gave out a statement con-
corning the controversy over the wear
ing of religious garb in Indian schools
and explaining how it has been set
tied. Last January the then commits
sioner of Indian affairs, Robert u.
Valentine, issued an order to super
intendents of the schools directing
that all insignia of any denomination
be removed from the public rooms of
the schools and that members Of any
denomination wearing a distinctive
garb should not wear it while engaged
in lay duties as government employees.
The order was revoked by the presi-
dent and the secretary Of the interior
investigated the question. The presi-
dents statement says in part:
"In the first place it appears that
all religious insignia have already
been removed from the walls of gov
eminent schools by the voluntary ac-
ton of those who put them there be-
fore the schools were transferred to
the government, and no question
arises, therefore, with respect to such
insignia, and nc order is necessary. The
issue, therefore, is confined to the
question whether those persons en-
gagged in teaching Indians in the gov
eminent Indian schools, and who are
members of the government civil
service, should be required to lay off
their distinctive religious garb while
they render service as government
teachers.
1.-The secretary of the interior, after
a very full and patient consideration,
has reached the conclusion, stated in
a letter to the commissioner of Indian
affairs, that the order ought not to be
made, and that those persons who are
now engaged in teaching in govern
ment schools as members of the gov
eminent civil service, and who are
wearing the garb, should be permitted
to remain in the service and while
discharging their duties to wear the
garb. l concur in this view, and the
order as revoked will not be revived"

JAIL MUST OPEN
|. Or j. s. WILL ACT
Mexico Given Order to Free an
American.
PERSECUTION is CHARGED
Ambassador Wilson Says He Will
land Marines If Needed to Gain
Demand for Release of
w. C. Nichols.

Mexico City, Sept. 23.-Ignoring the
usual channels of diplomatic inter
course, Henry Lane Wilson, American
ambassador, has made a peremptory
demand on Gov. Matias Guerra of the
state of Tamaulipas for the immediate
release from the jail at Tampico of w.
G. Nichols, an American fruit grower.
Nichols was arrested six. months ago
on a charge Of having killed a bandit,
Caballos, whose apprehension the au-
thorities had attempted for many
months. AS a result of the demand the
governor has announced that he will
do as directed.
To Compel Nichols Release.
The embassy was authorized by the
administration at Washington to en-
plOy whatever means were considered
necessary to bring about an ameliora-
ton of Nichols condition. Ambassador
Wilson declares that he will obtain his
release even if it should become nee
essary to land marines from the Uni
ted States cruiser Des Moines, which
is now in port at Tampico with $50
marines aboard.
The American ambassador regards
the treatment accorded Nichols by the
Mexican authorities as persecution,
and has so stated in his message to
the governor. In support of this belief
he points to the fact that a Mexican
has confessed in court to being the
slayer of Caballos.
This confession was disregarded by
the court, which declared it was
prompted by belief on the part of the
witness that a reward had been of
fered for Caballos, dead or alive.
Held In Filthy Jail.
The Jail in which Nichols is confined
is filthy and ~overcrowded. Ambassa-
dor Wilsoa has been treating the mat
ter automatically, but has met with
delays and accomplished little. In his
note to the governor the ambassador re-
minded him that his message was not
official, but that it was to be consid-
cred none the less authoritative. He
demanded that Nichols be placed Gin
surroundings more sanitary and in
keeping with the usage of civilized
countries" pending the proceedings
against him, which Ambassador Will
son suggested should be fastened.
