Urges Present Methods.

Why not continue as at present. with
the added feature of taking definite
census of those at the next hike who can
or will lay out route? Have them sub
nit their route or routes and take the
proposition up in order as circumstances
will permit. thus placing personal in
terest in the matter with the many and
not deterring any from entering the ranks
of wande"lusters through dislike of being
associated with a certain clique, which
organization very likely would lead to in
course of time.
Il seriously doubt if many persons
would continue active in an organization.
AS it is, the personnel of the parties
changes greatly. showing that many drop
out after few hikes. but that The Stars
activity replaces the vacancies and con-
tinually spreads the idea. maintaining the
broadly sociable plan of come-all-you. y
Mr.. Elliott has outlined a route which
is to he taken in the near future. 1t will
be announced at a later date.

May Mean Respite for Some Clerks

The failure of Congress to enact the
pension appropriation bill, and the ex-
tension to July 16 of the appropriations
for the fiscal year 1914 may mean a brief
respite for a number of clerks and en-
ployes of the pension bureau whose ten
ure of public service was to have ended
July /, according to the plan of the Sec
retary of the Interior as proposed in the
annual estimates.
The Secretary of the Interior has asked
whether clerks and employees of the PEN
sion bureau can be continued in the en-
ployment of the government until July
16 under the joint resolution extending
the 1914 appropriations The controller
of the Treasury, George K. Downey. has
ruled that the joint resolution does not
prohibit their continuance in service. so
far as there is nothing to definitely end
that service July / The Secretary of
the Interior does not intimate his purpose
in the matter.

'"rhe painful experience through which
we have just passed should impress on
our minds very seriously and forcibly at
this time a few important lessons. One
is that have certain tenure or
employment: the government Is under

for us to do. Other lessons are that the
work of the pension bureau is diminish

SPO PEE IS FREED
BY THEPRES|DENT
BIackfoot Indian, Prisoner for
35 Years, Granted Un-
conditional Pardon.
STORY OF BRAVES FATE
HAD BECOME A LEGEND
Found at Government Hospital for
Insane by Party Of His
People.

Spo Zee. BIaCkfoot Indian brave. and
once known among his people as "a
mighty hunter on the plains and in
the mountains of Idaho, is going back
to the country he used to know more
than quarter of = century ago.
President Wilson today signed the
unconditional pardon that IS to release
the aging warrior from his thirty-fve
years imprisonment most of which
has been in a cell at 81. Eliza beth's.
and Cato Sells. commissioner of Indian
affairs. has announced that ne will ex-
pedite in every way possible the re
lease of the Indian and his return to
the land to which he has for so many
years been stranger.
Discovered by Tourists.
4 party of Blaczfeet. sightseeing in
Washington early last spring. hap
pened upon Spo Pee. grown gray with
his long Imprisonment They estab
lished his tribal identity by an Indian
song. and one of the interpreters rec
ognized in Spo Pee the hero of an
old legend. who had disappeared more
than score of years ago into some
white mans Jail Blackfoot mothers
have been singing their children to
sleep with song about him ever
since.
officials of the Indian Office. advised
of the discovery. began an investiga-
ton which resulted in his pardon.
Spo Fee was charged with the mur-
der of a white man near the Canadian
boundary north of the Montana line.
1t is thought by the Department of Jus
tice that the murder probably was
committed in Canada and that the ter
ritoria1 courts of Montana which tried
him at Fort Benton had no jurisdiction.
Moreover it is now believed that Spo
Pee committed the murder in self-de-
fense. He and another Indian, Good
Rider. asked a white man for food
Their request was denied. and the
white man denounced Spo Pee, finally
esSaulting him with an ak. The Indian
claims TO have fired in self-defense. and
his story is credited by the Depart
ment of Justice.
Prisoner Did Not Talk.
After Spo PEGS conviction at Fort
Benton and sentence to death he was
removed 10 the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth. While awaiting execu-
tion the Indian maintained absolute si-
lence. He has since told interpreters
he felt sure he would be hanged and
decided not to talk or make any effort
to be released. His conduct was so
unusual that he was believed to be
insane. and after two years was re-
moved to the hospital here, where he
had been held a prisoner for thirty-two
years.
Spo Pee is regarded as an intelligent
Indian by physicians who have ex-
anined him since the movement to OBJ
find he still gives practically the same
account of the tragedy which he related
thirty-ive years ago at Fort Benton.
Commissioner Sells of the Indian office
ranged today to send Spo Pee back to
his people.
