100000 IN BONDS TO FREE DYNAMITERS
Superior Court of Appeals Acts on
Ground of Possibility of Sub
stantia Error.

Chicago Ill.-Bonds approaching ST.
100000 must be given if the thirty
two Of the thirty-three labor leaders
convicted of conspiracy to transport
dynamite are to take advantage of
the granting of a writ of supersedeas
by the superior court of appeals of
Chicago Friday.
Whether this amount can be obtain
ed was admitted by counsel for the
defendants to be matter of doubt,
but they expressed the belief that at
least some of it could be procured,
enough to accomplish the liberty of
President Frank M. Ryan and a few
others until decision has been reach
ed on an appeal for the filing of which
the court allowed sixty days.
The decision involves thirty-two Of
the thirty-three men now in the
Leavenworth penitentiary, as Herbert
S. Hockin, designated among his fell
low prisoners as the "informer," will
not appeal.
Judges Baker and Seaman heard the
arguments and the decision was given
orally by Judge Baker. He took occa-
sion to intimate that undue haste was
manifested at indianapolis in commit,
ting the defendants to prison.
The writ was issued largely on the
point raised by the defense that the
iron workers were convicted of con
tinuing offense, a conspiracy to com
nit offense continually. In fixing the
amount of bail the court was influ
enced by the fact that the offenses in
volved are not extraditable. Judge
Anderson, who presided over the tria
court at Indianapolis, was authorized
to pass on the suitability and ade
quacy of any bonds offered. Distric
Attorney Miller of Indianapolis, wht
represented the government at Fri
days hearing, stated that the bond
of surety companies probably woult
be acceptable, but that the suret,
must schedule property twice tn
amount of the bond A basis of $40
600 for each years sentence was use
by the court in fixing the amount O
the bonds. AS Ryan was sentenced t
serve seven years, his bond was fixe
at $4,000, and the same ratio was pre-
served throughout for the other cor
yicted men.

COCO PROGRESS MADE N INDIAN AFFAIRS
Former Commissioner Valentine IN
Report Favors the Release OF
the Red Men.

Washington.-Tha the American
Indian should be released as soon as
possible from the paternal care or the
United States government, now his
guardian in virtually everything he
does, was the opinion expressed in the
annual report from the bureau OF In
dian affairs submitted to Secretary OF
the Interior Fisher by Robert G. Val
entine, until recently commissioner,
and made public Saturday,
The then commissioner voiced the
hope that the day might be near
when the United States will finally
have lifted its hands from Indian al
fairs, and all Indians in all respects
will stand on an equal footing with
all their fellow Americans"
with all the expedition compatible
with the Indians welfare" he added,
they should be made subject to the
laws of their States and be taught to
look to their local government in
stead of the National government. My
conviction is that no possible obstacle
should be placed in the way of the
transformation of Indian affairs ad-
ministered by the United States into
the affairs of normal citizens under
the ordinary jurisdiction of the
States.
81 do not suggest further authority
for enlarged federal jurisdiction over
minor offenses on reservations. I'm.
portant questions of marriage and di-
vorce illustrate difficult points, Of
which the only proper solution ap-
pears to be education of Indians,
whether or not they are citizens, to
comply with the laws of their States.
Progress during the year in teach
ing the Indian to be sober and indus
trious, in educating him to be better
farmer and mechanic, and in impart-
ing health principles, both as they ap-
ply individually and in the home, was
reported.
Every Indian, like every white
man." declared the commissioner, sis
best fitted for some one thing. We
are trying to find that thing, One OF
our newest activities is to make every
effort, both in the schools and among
the adults on the reservations, in the
direction of vocational guidance"
The Indian service in all its parts
showed increased activity during the
, year, the report stated, not in extern
, sion of jurisdiction, "but in graphing
more deeply and More intimately witt
the problems it has to solve" The
campaign for good health and physica

BELLAMORE PLANT
CLOSED BY ORDER
OF THE CREDITORS

The plant of the Bellamore Armored
Car G. Equipment Co. was ordered
shut down on Saturday night by a vote
of the SO creditors who held O. meeting
on Saturday afternoon in the office
of Job e. Hedges, in New York city.
Judge Hedges is the temporary receiv-
er of the company.
Since the company was thrown into
involuntary bankruptcy about two
weeks ago the plant has been allowed
to continue to run, the managem ent
gave the creditors to understand that
1t had a $50, 900 contract to build some
cabinets for the State of New York
the cabinets to take the place of some
destroyed by fire In the burning OF
the capitol at Albany.
1t was learned at the hearing that
the Bronx National Bank had first
call upon the money coming from the
State, the Bellan1ore Co. having made
the bank a preferred creditor when il
borrowed $4,000 from the bank in or
der to proceed with the contract.
The creditors who had formed the
opinion that the entire $50, 900 was go
ing to swell the assets of the company
were angry when they heard the true
plant at once and to wind up the af-
fairs Of the company.
Steps will be taken in q few days
to appoint a trustee, and it 10 under
stood that the majority Of the credit
ors will ask that the assets of the
company be sold. AS the plant in
Fairfield avenue, including real estate.
building, and machinery, is nortgaged
it is believed that the future use OF
the modern factory building rests in
the hands of the mortgage holders.
Harry D. Miller, who holds third
mortgage against the plant as trustee,
has been given judgment in foreclosure
proceedings against the company and
the same is now pending
Thomas F. Moore is in charge of the
plant here looking after the interests
of the receiver. The creditors, most
of whom come from this city, say they
are going to demand a. thorough in
vestigation into the affairs of the com
pany.
