Recovery OF MILLIONS
FOR INDIANS PLANNED
Commissioner Z. Sells Outlines Program
for Prosecution of Those Who
Robbed Red Men.
GOES WEST In A FEW DAYS

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato
Sells last night outlined his program
of bettering the conditions of Indians and
recovering from embezZlers the millions
of dollars the red men have lost to land
sharps. The commissioner will leave
Washington in a day or two to look
into the relations of this government
with the Indians of the West who have
been robbed and despoiled systematically
for years. Here is his program:
L A series OF conferences with those
in control of Indian affairs, at which
the condition of the Indians will be
Investigated.
. Criminal prosecutions OF those who
have robbed the red men; the big
offenders to be called to the attention
of the Attorney General, the small Of
tenders to be dealt with by local grand
juries.
>. Compilation of fact for presentation
to Congress with a request for drastic
legislation to safeguard the health and
wealth of the Indians.
4. Discussion of plans for the control
of the liquor traffic.
If Commissioner Sells carries out the
program which he outlined last night
there will be the most sensational prose-
cutions, on a wider scale, and involving
more money than ever bas been known
in the history of Indian prosecutions in
the Department OF Justice.

nj Issue.

The discovery OF the birth record of
Simpson Brock, colored. may establish
the innocence OF Herman Shapiro, a
liquor dealer at So T. street northwest,
who paid a fine of 800, and OF Brock, SEN
fenced to spend fifteen days I'm the work.
house. Shapiro was arraigned in the
Police Court on Tuesday on a charge Of
selling intoxicants to Brock. who was
alleged to be a minor. The licensee said
he had entered a plea OF guilty because
he could not AFFORD to hire a lawyer to
defend him.
Since then the board has had Brock
before it and is inclined to the belief, from
statements made by him, that he Is not q
minor, but was more than twenty-one
years Of age at the time he purchased
the liquor from Shapiro. When ques-
toned as to why he did not give his ex-
act age, Brock said he thought the court
would be more lenient with him IL he rep
resented himself to be much younger
than he really was.
The board is now looking up Brooks
birth record. and IL it is found to support
his statement, Shapiro. OF course, will be
in no danger OF losing his license.

JONES Is A FUNNY FELLOW.
He's "SprInEing Something All the
Time, by Heck.

From the Macon (Gs.) News
A second Mark Twain has developed in
Macon and he is David Jones, Macon's
city clerk.
His natural wit affords as much humor
to members of his city hall family as
the antics of Nick Altrock and Germany
Schaefer did to fans in the big leagues.
Jones has many a threatrical comedian
backed of the boards"
Jones has something new to spring
most of the time. A trio of "Jonesisms"
were CLEANED by a News reporter Tues
day morning.
As Mr.. Jones looked at the decorating
Of the elm tree for a Christmas tree in
front of the city hall he said:
"The leaves left in the fall. Now
they're relieving (relieving) them"
Alderman Hay was brought up In con-
versation and Mr.. Jones casually re-
marked that the fame of Mr.. Hay had
extended to New York City, where one
of the big buildings was named after the
Macon alderman. One Of the officials
easily bit and Jones' reply to the query,
what building" was:
"Why the Haymarket, Of course"
The city clerks third "one" was to
jokingly suggest that he had a petition
to present to the council Tuesday night.
In response to the question, Jones' reply
was:
"A resolution to request the council to
change its meeting night because 1t in
terferes with a fellow seeing a wrestling
bout"
Jonesisms relieve the monotony OF
some very tedious hours around the city
building and the city clerk is there"
with bells most OF the time.

BREAK TICKET PACT
Especial to the Newark stur.I

ELIZABETH, n. j., July 31.-No-
tees have been posted by the Central
Railroad that after September 1 the
excursion and single-tr1p tickets
issued by the Pennsylvania road be-
tween this city and Newark will not
be accepted by them; neither will
the Pennsylvania road accept those
of the Central Railroad. Heretofore
the excursion and single-trip tickets
between here and Newark have been
interchangeable between the two
roads, but neither would accept the
Communication tickets of the other.
The Jersey Central has shown its
determination to fight the improve
ments planned by the Pennsy unless
the projects which are under consid-
Grafton by the Central road are pro-
vided for. In the letter from w. G.
Besler, vice-president of the Central
road, to DR.. Wagner, chairman of
the council committee upon railroads,
The Central road states it's objections
to the Pennsylvania plans, and to
some extent criticises the proposals
made by the city. The letter also
shows the plans'of the Central road,
which up to this time have not been
given to the public.
