INDIANS ARE STARVING

Philadelphia, Dec 13.-"The treat
ment of the Indian by the people of
the United States is disgrace to
civilization and should cause us to
blush before the world" said DR.. Jo-
seph X. Dixon in an address here.
DR.. Dixon spent six months as head
of the Rodman Wanamaker expedi-
tion, visiting the various Indian tribes
of the country.
"The condition among the Indians
is deplorable and the government at
Washington is kept in ignorance of
it, he saidgu|A tribe called the Jica-
rilla Apaches is starving to death on
the top Of the continental divide in
New Mexico. For several months be-
fore I visited them they had nothing
to eat but stewed pine bark. There
are 700 IN the tribe and at the rate
they are dying they will become ex-
tinct in IA years"

Ed FEMALE WORKERS AGREE
WITH THIS STATEMENT

Chicago, Dec 1.-Two thousand
Chicago women at a mass meeting
here today expressed their wrath at
the forced resignation Of Ella Flagg
Young as superintendent of schools,
and adopted resolutions calling for
special session Of the legislature to
make the board Of education elective,
instead of appointiye, as at present.
SO that the newly enfranchised wom-
en-, may protect the interests OF the
public schools"
The meeting was impressive in the
evidences Of aroused indignation and
emotion under strong restraint There
was little talk among the women as
they crowded into the big auditorium,
nor were the speakers applauded as
they filed on the stage and took their
chairs awaiting the call Of the chair
man, Mrs. George W. Bass.
"A sense Of the unusual seemed to
be in the air" to quote the comment
Of Mrs. Margaret Haley, author ol
the resolution.
AS other speakers were heard

blamed Mayor Harrison, who
appointed most Of the board Of edu-
cation, for the present situation.
"We disapprove Of the method by
which Mrs. Young's resignation was
forced and her successor elected,
said Miss Adams, 1T was done in
uniting secrecy"
A letter from the mayor was read
in which he said that he sympathized
with the women and that he had
been betrayed by men he trusted. He
alluded to the fact that the five re-
5ignations OF members Of the board
which he took the precautf6n to exact
when they were appointed, had been
accepted, and declared that at least
TWO other members Of the board
would go if he had legal means to

Federals Await Attack

Ojinaga, Mex, Dec 13.-Perched Oh
the high hill Of Ojinaga, which com
mands a sweeping view of the near
by desert and canyons, the federal
army today had it's guns trained in
anticipation of an attack by rebels
said to number between 1000 and S.
900, who are rapidly surrounding the
town.
The commanding position of the
federals, with trenches and forts pre-
pared for resistance, will make ii
impossible for the rebels to storm
the place without a great loss of
life. Such an attack would mean
that the rebels would be constantly
exposed to a heavy fire while climb
ing the precipitous approaches, ex-
cept for the slight shelter affored by
the thick mesquite bushes.
The 1000 federals garrisoned here,
after their retreat from Chihuahua,
have resigned themselves to the idea
of an attack. The rebels, under Gen
eral Herrera, have announced their
intention of attacking from three
sides to force the surrender, or to
drive the enemy across the river into

of cavalry reinforced the United
States border patrol at Preside, Tex.
as, today. The American military
authorities have notified both sides
that no shots must be fired across
the river.
The federal forces were at a loss
today to know what had become of
General Salvador Mercado, the rank
ing officer of the Mexican army in
the north. It was believed that he
with 1000 federals, had been inter-
cepted by rebels in the mountain pass
at La Mula outside Ojinaga and that
he would be attacked by superior
rebel forces before the rebels attack
Ojinaga
Mercado went out Of the fort here
to escort in some struggling refugees.

Senator Root declared the new
bill, so far as specific restraints on
the expansion Of the currency were
concerned, would not help to check
panics.
q can see in this BILL" said, mo
end interposed by us to the occur
renee of one Of those periods of false
and delusive prosperity that newt
ably ends in ruin and suffering"
It has been the history Of this and
other countries, he said, that panics
follow easy money"
THAT was the case in 1897, in 1857,
in 1878, in 1893 and in 1907" he de
clared.
Senator Roots amendment would
tax all notes issued after the gold re-
serve dropped below 80 per cent. 1t
would also provide that any new
notes issued after sOO,OOO,OOO had
been had been put out, saould pay a
special tax of TX per cent and that
after OO,OOO,OOO notes had been is
sued tax Of per cent should be
imposed on further issues.
This would allow the issue Of
some $15O,OOO,OOO more Of notes than
are now outstanding in the national
bank note currency" said Senator
Root, "and under pressure would al
low a further expansion of sSOO,OO0,-
600 more if the banks found that
business needed the currency badly
enough to make profitable the secur-
ing of currency by the payment Of the
tax.
This bill proposes to put in pawn
the credit Of the Dnfted states," de-
olared Senator Root, "and when the
need comes for help It is the United

ed"
Senator Root said that between
four and seven billions Of American
securities held in Europe would be
thrown on the American domestic
markets If Europe was given any
ground to doubt the financial policy
of the United States. He declared
that would drain America OF gold.

Just after Senator Root concluded
his speech, Senator Gallinger Of New

ablest advocate Of sound economic /
