Decreasing. of pure,blood In
dams, but an in.
crease of half-caste families. The lat
ter families are larger and more Wig
orous than those of the pure-bloods,
the report says, and statisticians de-
clare the real red man is destined to
disappear.
The total Indian population of the
United States In 1910 was given as
265,6S3, and of Alaska, as 1881.
More than one-half are full-bloods, IS
per cent are of mixed bloods, and for
eight per cent. information was not
obtainable.
There is little intermingling of In
dian and negro blood, more than nine,
tenths of the half-caste being of white
parentage, and only 2,225 were of
mixed negro blood. Only 1898 had all
three strains.
Oklahoma has the largest Indian
population of any state and also the
largest percentage Of mixed bloods
There are many "squaw men" in the
state, which have married Indian
women to be enrolled as sharers in
the tribal estates. Utah, New Mexico
Arizona and Colorado show more

 Some 90 or more real estate men of the city have been gathering every Thurs day at the German cafe of the Hotel Elm pire and discussing matters pertaining to the trade and out of this small organiza- tion grew the idea of a really big or ganization of the sellers of land in the city. That idea will be consummated today, 1t is said.

CUSTOMS FRAUDS
 PROBE COMPLETE
Jury Recommends Govern ment Proceed to Recover
 Losses

Philadelphia. April 15.-An investigation by federal grand jury of custom frauds was completed here today, when the jury made report to the United States district court, recommending that the gov ernment proceed to recover the duty losses suffered because of alleged Irregularities in the importation of personal goods.
 The report of the jury stated that "the investigation has concerned importations made by 'Wanamakers' during a period of upward of 1S years, both in general mer- chandise cases and in so-called sample cases" The jury finds that with few exceptions, the importations made in general merchandise cases have been reg sample cases, the jury finds irregulari- ties, both as concerns importations of merchandise for the use of the business and the concerns importations of goods business"
 The report further states that in March, 1913, 'Wanamakers paid the gov ernment s1O0.000 in settlement of the civil claim for unpaid duties arising from the Irregularities concerning importations of merchandise, but that alleged irregular ities concerning certain importations Of personal goods were unknown to the gov ernment at the time of settlement, and therefore the jury recommends that the government proceed to recover.

ELLIS CASE WILL GO
 ID JURY TODAY
Both Sides Close and Two Arguments Made-Dor-
 Ough on Trial

Testimony In the trial of Ed Ellis gree. in connection with the killing oi Ia. Roney, on the corner of Second | avenue and Nineteenth street, severa months ago, was completed yesterday afternoon at 5:3O o'clock The case is on tlial before Judge William E. Fort ir the criminal court
 The case will probably go to the jury ths morning shortly after Il o'clock, as but two arguments remain to be made James Long and Hugh Locke spoke yes terday afternoon for the defense. and state, respectively. This morning c. P Beddow will argue for the defense and Mir Locke will make the closing speech for the prosecution.
 1t is not denied that Ellis killed Roney but he pleads self-defense It is main tained that Roney. who is alleged to have uttered threats against Ellis, made a motion toward his hir. pocket as if to draw a pistol. The defendant then fired with fatal effect.
 An interesting point in the case is the f. ct that Officer J. A. Moore, who was an eyewitness to the killing, has since been killed His testimony in the pre- liininary trial of Ellis was admitted yes- terday as the law provides that where beth sides have an opportunity of cross examination at a preliminary the testi- rony is admissible in the trial
 In the other division of the criminal court Judge Greene passed all the iail cases which had been set for today until Saturday, and took up the trial of w. M. Borough charged with man slaughter in connection with the killing or w. B. Edwards at lrondale sometime ago.
 Edwards was fatally shot when Dor cneh, who is town marshal of lrondale. and G. s. Scarlett, railroad specia Il officer, fired at negroes, alleged to have leen car robbers. The father of the deceased instituted proceedings against the men and Borough is now on trial. As soon as Judge Fort completes the FL Ills trial and Judge Greene the Borough tllal the jail cases ~'nich were passed Will be taken up and disposed of as rapidly as possible.
