 Funds Of Indians
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The senate Indian affairs committee agreed today to an amendment of the Indian ap- propriation bill which will require q complete investigation of all eXpendi lures of the Indian bureau, detailed accounting of every cent spent of the ten millions or more to be appropriated the coming year and will revOlutionize the method of administering the In dian trust funds and annual apprOpria- tions of the future
 Another amendment agreed to by the committee to prohibit contracts with the Indians relating to tribal funds or property in the hands of the govern ment unless authorized by the United States is expected to materially effect many contracts that have been made with the Cherokee and Chickasaw In dians by James F. McMurray of Okla hOma.
 It was asserted by Senator Ashurst of Arizona before the senate lobby committee last week that McMurrays 8 contracts, carrying a ten per cent con- tingent fee would have netted him S3,5O0,0 900 and members of the commit tee were not certain tonight to what extent his contracts would be affected

Committee Starts for Coal FieNs District to Investi- gate Conditions of Strike and Charge of Conspiracy Against Operators
ASSOCIATED PREss p1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Armed with the plenary authority of a leg islative branch of the federal gov ernment to inquire and report, the senate subcommittee appointed to probe conditions in the West Vir- ginia coal fields, left Washington en route to the strike district tonight. Senators Swanson chairman. Martin, Shields, Borah and Kenyon and a corps of clerks, stenographers, depu- ties sergeants- arms and a squad of newspaper men filled the special train bound for Charleston which left late tonight.
 i About one hundred witnesses are expected to be on hand at Charles ton at tomorrow's proceedings The alleged existence of peonage among the mine workers affected in the dis trict will be the first subject taken up i by the investigators with Senator Borah in charge of that branch of /. the inquiry
 Among other things, the investiya- i tors are anxious as to the exact status of the indictments apainst the agents of the United Mine Workers, charging conspiracy, under the Sher- man antitrust law, with the coal operators in other coal fielGs to em-
 barrass the West Virginia operators
 by fomenting a strike among the West Virginia miners.
 The committee has been unable to
 secure from tbe department of jus tice officials arN statement to the indictment which was result of the proceedings brought by the West Vir- ginia federal authorities without the
 knowledge of the department
 Owing to the possibility of grant ing immunity to possible offenders by exa mining them as witnesses, the committee will await further pro tceedings by the department of justice
 before taking up the conspiracy iangle of the probe.

Turning From Examination of Colleagues, Committee Now Inquiring About the
 Presence of Others in - Nations Capital
SENATOR REED
 IS INQUISITOR
Evidently is Trying to Show That Many Men Live in Washington With Moth ing to Do But Try and Influence Legislation
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHJ


 WASHINGTON. June 9.-Turning from the examination of colleagues who might have been influenced in matters of legislation. the senate lobby Investigating committee began late today to inquire into Washington pursuits of those who might have exercised an influence
 With only half a dozen senators vet to take the witness stand the majority of the committee is con vinced that it has seen the flash of the underground workings of the lobby. and believes that only pa tient search is needed to reveal a trail which will lead to the quarry they are seeking. The minority mem hers of the committee are apparently not so certain that an "insidious lobby will be discovered.
 One former senator and four men who sat at one time or another in the house of representatives were put to the test by the committee today All admitted more or less ipterest in legislation, but none would say he considered his cause unjust or that he had done anything improper
 Senator Reed was the principal in ouisitor, and apparently expected to show what many men spent most of their time in Washington with noth : ing to do but convince congress that it was wrong about their particular legislation.
 Former Senator A Faulkner, of West Virginia was the first witness from the outside. He told the com mittee he represented twenty two big railroads of the country and had re presented them for many years.
 Tn justice to myself and these railroads" said Faulkner. T will say I know of no lobby ever having been brought here with reference to rail- road matters at any time for the purpose of influencing members of congress. My business has been to find bills that affect the railroads and send thsm to my clients. and give them my opinion. If the rail roads find something that they re- gard prejudicial or if they need amendment, they notify me to ar range a hearing before the committee in charge"
 Other witnesses were J. A T. Hull. of Iowa; A W. Kopp, of Wis consin; Charles s. Bennett, of New York. and Charles B. Landis, or Indiana.

This decision will end the states rights con- tention of the water power grabbers, and make it possible for the federal government to take the steps necessary to protect the property of the people.
 Taken in connection with the recent decision in the white slave case, which directly supports the Roosevelt theory of the right of the government to pro- mote the general welfare, it marks a great advance in the long fight for con- servation It is the latest, but doubt less not the last of the unbroken series of decisions by the supreme court of the United States sustaining the Roose- welt way of using the law to help the people.

TESTIMONY OF GARY ORDERED
 STRICKEN OUT
Chairman of United States Steel Corporation Gives Evidence Regarding Car negie Company Minutes Which is Not Allowed
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

NEW YORK, June. 9.-Testimony by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United states Steel corporation that the corporation turned over % the gov ernment "all it's records" was stricken out today in the suit to dissolve the corporation as an Illegal combination. The testimony has to do with the minutes of the Carnegie Steel com pany upon whicl. Judge Gary was be- ing cross examined
 T suppose you have these minutes because when you asked me or some one else for all the records we turned everything over to you without even looking at it. said Judge Gary.
 At this Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, attorney for the government, threw up his hands as if in surprise.
 q don't want to get into discussion with you on that subject" he said.
 q would suggest" said R. V. Linda bury. the attorney for the corporation, that the remark of the witness be stricken from the recirds.''
 ''Yes, strike it from the reeord' said Gary.
 The subject was then abruptly dropped, and the efforts of newspaper men to learn the reason for the action were unavaiIing. The minutes in ques- ton indicated that at various times 1 during the early history of the cor 1 poration the directors of the Carnegie Steel company as a subsidiary, advised l the company to buy pig iron in order l to sustain it's price to prevent the de- i moralization of the prices of finished 1 steel products.
 Judge Dickinson wanted to knov 1 whether the witness considered such al action in accord with the corporation policy of fostering cOmpetition,' whicl l Gary testified it had pursued since it 1 organization. "The opinions of board 1 of subsidiary committees" replied tn 1 witness do not have any weight o effect except perhaps as to the indi viduaI action of officers in those com l panies at times when, as in the earl years it sometimes did act without tn knowledge of the United States Stee

"Pickling" Fence
Posts.
Treatment With Creosote viii
Increase Lite From Two to
Eight Fold.
+ +


The time has come when it ia
cheaper to use treated fence posts of
willow, cottonwood or red oak than
to buy cedar posts OF to use the 9TH
ers untreated. The value of a fence
post should be based on it's annual
and not it's initial cost. Thus a 30
cent post lasting twenty years is
really much cheaper than a 2O-cent
post lasting Ave years.
A treatment with creosote or carbo-
lineum will increase the life of a post
from two to eight fold. The process
is simple and the equipment mex
pensive. A plant should be estab-
lished in every community, thus max
Ing available for cheap, durable fence
posts all the inferior woods which are
otherwise good only for frewood.
Certainly every farmers club should
have one.
The plant, which any tinsmith can
make, may consist Of either one or
two tanks; the latter kind is capable
Of twice the speed of the other and
10 therefore cheaper to operate II
labor Is to be counted. The following
10 a convenient outfit for farm work:
One upright tank three and one-half
feet In diameter and three and one
half feet deep, and a rectangular tank
4x4xS feet. These should be made of
fourteen.gauge galvanized iron rein
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1913-06-18

forced at the edges and n with
three-quarter-inch angle irons. If
steam is available the oil can be heat
cd with pipe coils; if there is no
steam, a fire can be built under the
tanks. It makes no difference except
IN the ease of handling. The cost Of
such an outfit would be about $40 for
the tanks alone and about SIS for the
steam pipes.
In case speed is not important the
small tank alone may be used with
a ~" shaped pipe fitted on the side.
as shown in the accompany illustra.
ton. The fire is then built under this
pipe instead of under the tank and
the oil is heated, with less danger OF
IRE. Such an outfit would cost about
SIC.
Creosote or carbolineum is the pre-
sentative used-usually creosote on
account of it's cheapness. The small
tank is half filled with the oil and
heated to about 22O degrees F. The
tank is then filled with posts set up
right, butts down in the oil. If neces-
sary the oil should be raised enough
to cover the posts six inches above
the ground line. From half an hour
to an hour, according to the species,
is enough of this. The posts are then
removed to the other tank, which
should contain oil heated to about
40 degrees F. Here they are COM
pletely submerged for about the same
length of time. They are then piled
up to dry, ready for a service of from
fifteen to twenty years. In the case
of the single tank outfit the process is
the same except that instead of re-
moving the posts at the end of the
hot bath the fire is taken away and
the oil allowed to cool. When the
posts are removed from the tank they
can either be reversed and the tops
dipped or painted with a brush. The
latter is a little more convenient. The
cost of treatment will vary from 10
cents to Is cents per post. Such a
treatment Is too easy, the resulting
saving too great. to be neglected.
Every mile of fence put up in this
way will save the farmer IS a year
when compared with white cedar and
50 when compared with untreated
posts of inferior species. There are
few easier ways of earning money.
