INDIANS REASONABLE
If WELL TREATED
GENERAL SCOTT REPORTS ON
THE RECENT UPRISING OF
THE NAVAJOS

Washington, Dec. 9.-General Hugh
L. Scott, who succeeded in preventing
what might have been a considerable
Indian war in New Mexico, has writ
ten to Secretary Garrison, describing
the closing chapters Of the negotia-
tions, drawing a pathetic picture OF
the lot Of the Indians and attributing
the whole trouble to gossip.
General Scott says:
THE situation north is absolutely
clear. The prisoners were told to
apologize to Major Mclaughlin and
their agent, and have done this. Their
parting was pathetic when they left
for Santa Fe to report to the judge
They declared they would have died
before surendering if approached in
any other way, but they each and ev-
cry one thanked me for causing their
minds to be changed for their own
good, and all say they will go back
home, when released, to lead differ
ent lives. They are thoroughly soften
ed, but they are poor, ignorant, crea-
lures who are easily handled If it is
done in a sympathetic, kindly way,
with force underneath which they all
respect,
The contact of civilization with
these people is too hard for them,
and there is so much misunderstand-
ing between the two races, in which
the Indian, who in the main is rea-
sonable and well intentioned, always
gets the worst of it.
"The state of terror at the agency
and the revolt in the San Juan valley
is now over. It was the result almost
altogether of lies and gossip, carried
about by Indians and white men There
is no sore spot left anywhere to-
break out later, and l feel safe in
saying that the incident is over and
done with"

Presidio, Tex, Dec. g.. For as far
as the eye could reach there stretched

Mexico, opposite Presidio, today the
struggling end Of a mass Of people
made up of 1000 men Of the Mexican
federal army and the civilians who
fled from chihuahua to safety on the
United States border.
1t was expected the refugees would
continue to arrive at Ojinaga all day.
A few who reached the American side
said the exodus included more than
1000.
The federal troops, including the
most important federal generals in
the north, continued their work OF
fortifying the village. This. taken
with the fact that General Ynez Sala-
zar, Immediately on his arrival, com

that the federals intended to make q

Trains Are Dynamited
The story brought BY the refugees
was that they left Chihuahua on three
trains, hoping to cover the distance
to Falomir, the end Of the uncom-
pleted railroad about a third of the
way across the desert. but that a
short distance out Of the city their
train was wrecked All then had to
start the journey on foot, the federals

burning more than 100 cars to pre-

Nothing illegitimate was found in
the activity of the American Fedora

ers and money lenders in Washington
were found 10 have neither effected

Methods used by the manufacturers
organization in sending Mulhall
through the country with funds to or
ganize temporary associations, which
are denounced as improper, disreput-

No evidence was found of employ
ment of members of the house for
improper purposes.
Tipping of house employees was de-
nounced as reprehensible. Employ
ment by manufacturers associations,
as former Chief Page McMichael Of
the house, was severely censured.
Representatives Bartho1d Of Missouri
Burke Of Pennsylvania, calder Of New
York, Sherley of Kentucky, and Webb
of North Carolina were dpheld as
neither reached nor influenced by
the manufacturers"
The committee held that Represen-
tative McDermott minimized his in
innate relations with Mulhall, that he
obtained small loans from Mulhall.
but added that these were personal
acts of Mulhall and we do not believe
that he let McDermott have the mon
ey with a view to corrupting him,
nor do we believe McDermott receiv-
ed from Mulhall ii loans or otherwise

The committee concluded that Nc

ceptions and standards relative to

public men.

The first provided that the house
should forthwith proceed to determine
whether the report did not show Rep
resentative McDermott to have been
guilty of "disgraceful and dishonor-
able conduct in his official capacity,
rendering him unworthy of remaining
as a member Of the house and liable
to expulsion"
The other requested the house to
determine whether the officers and
agents Of the National Association Of

Washington, Dec. 9.-Results of the
house lobby investigation by a com
mittee headed by Representative Gar
rett of Tennessee were made public
today in two reports, the majority re-
port signed by democrats and repUb-
licans alike, and . supplemental re
port filed by Representative McDon-
aid of Michigan.
The majority made no recommends
tion but declared that Representative
McDermott Of Illinois 'had been
guilty of acts Of grave impropriety,
unbecoming the dignity of his posi-
ton, though we cannot say that he
has been corrupted in his votes"
The majority report also held that
MeDermott, having intimate relations
with I. H. McMichael, former chief
page of the house, knew that M. M.
Mulhall, a lobbyist for the National
Association Of Manufacturers and the
American Federation of Labor en-
gagged in political activities and ex-
pended money to effect nominations
and elections of the members of the
house of representatives"
Representative Mcdonald, who
agreed with the majority findings,
declared that congress had fallen
somewhat from its high estate in the
estimation of the American people.
He made Recommendation for legisla-
tive reforms.
The main conclusions Of the major
ity define lobby as "a person or
body of persons seeking to Influence
legislation by congress in any man
ner whatsoever" The National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, the National
Council for Industrial Defense, the
National Tariff Commission associa-
ton, the American Federation Of La
Dor, the Washington City Associations
of Liquor Dealers, and local loan
sharks are found to have maintained
Hobbies.
Martin NJ Mulhall is held to have
admitted errors in some vital state
ments in his charges, to have been
corroborated in other SUBJECTS of inn
portance by officials Of the National
Association of Manufacturers, and
Mulhall, the report says, was extray-
agant in many of his claims and over
stated his potency and influence with
members of congress and public men
generally; he entertained animus
against many of those against whom
he made allegations and used names
OF public men with an unjustified
freedom. High superior officers Of
the manufacturers organization and
the Council for Industrial Defense
used him very largely and primarily
for personal lobbying" says the re
port.
The lobby Of the Association Of
Manufacturers and the Industrial De
fense Council is held guilty Of i'm
properly preventing and seeking to
prevent legislation.
Gravest doubt was expressed as to
the propriety Of acts Of Mulhall and
Counsel James A. Emery, for the
manufacturers. The report added:

Rebels Ruin eunboat

Mexico city, Dec. 9-The rebels
under General Candido Agailar in the
vicinity Of Tuxpam scored a success
over the federal troops there yester-
day by slipping around the edge Of
the town and boarding the gunboat
Tuxpam while the federal troops were
not looking, disabling her machinery
and guns and getting away with a
quantity Of dynamite
According to the story reaching the
federal capital, the trick Of the rebels
was due to scareleasness on the part
Of some Of the federals
The gnnboat was stationed some
distance above the town to observe
the movements Of and to menace the
rebels. The latter got a gasoline
launch, manned it with 20 men and
boarded the gunboat while she was in
charge Of a small crew. which they
overpowered.
win Not Move Capital
The report emanating from London
that Provisional President Huerta
was about to transfer the seat Of gov
ernment fran the federal capital to
Tguala is considered very unlikely
here because Ignaia Is a small town
in the mountains Of the state OF
Guerrero There are no lines Of come

''The Coming of the King" , Christmas cantata by Buck, will bC sung in the Congregational churcI Sunday evening by a chorus of 3C voices and Hartford soloists. This beautiful cantata was given in the church two years ago and proved one of the best musical works given here. Miss Helen Lester, soprano; Miss Belle Shaw, contralto; Fred Green, tenor, and Percy E. Cooley, baritone, are the soloists. This opportunity to hear Miss Lester will please her nu- merous friends. Miss Shaw is soloist at Unity church, Hartford, and be- cause of her fine singing she is rated one of Hartford's best contraltos MT. Green is most favorably known to our people, having sung here at form CT song services. MT. Cooley is one of the most promising baritones in our state. His progress of late has been very marked. The baritone solo work in the cantata will prove very interesting. The chorus is we'll pre- pared to give good interpretation of the chorus numbers The male chorus, as we'll as ladies choruses, are very effective. With Dr. G. Percival Bard, pianist, and Organist A.

A collection will be taken to meet expenses.
