Complete reorganization of Indian affairs
with the separation of the Indian Bureau
from the Department of the Interior, may
be established during the present Congress,
as result of the failure to check the many
abuses under which the Idians are suffering.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, already
has filed a bill to divorce the Indians from
the Interior department. and to create what
practically will be department of Indian
affairs. During the period when the Senate
is waitirg for the house to dispose OF the
appropriation bills he hopes to press his bill
to passage through the Senate. With the
organization of the Indian service into a scp-
crate department it is hoped to make it
mere responsive and more responsible to
the general public.

Complete Reorganization Of
The Indian Department Possibility
Senator Robinson viii introduce Bill For Complete Reorganization the
Interior Department At Early Eate

The recognized civil commission on In
dian affairs will meet il Washington the
first week of February and take up a num-
Der of important matters relating 10 Indian
administration. The commission will check
up on the abuses disclosed by the recent
congressional investigation, and it is expect
ed to go into the question Of why the con-
ditions disclosed in the White Earth and
other reservations have no: been remedied.
This commission is a civil Indian body,
acting without pay in an advisory capacity
TO the president and the Interior department.
In the past it has appeared to have been un-
able to cope successfully with the conditions
under which land sharks and other looters of
the Indians have horished, but it is hoped
that the present commission will act with
vigor enough to remedy some of the abuses.
Among the new members of the COM
mission is Isidore Dockweier,. of California
who was on the Democratic ticket for lieut.

of the Interior Lane was candidate for gov-

Last Friday evening at the Loyal Theatre
the sOdahah Basket Ball team defeated the
fast Northland College team Of Ashland by
"a score of; SO to 4S in as fast game as has
ever been played on this floor. Many ex-
pected to see oul boys defeated as it was
their first game Of the season but were dis
appointed as they played the Northland
College team off their feet at all stages. A
large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the
boys which goes to show that their efforts
in this line are appreciated. Each member
of the team are-to be praised for their work
in the game of last Friday, while the Col
lege team is composed of bunch of gentle
men in every respect. The only incident
that is: regretted by our boys is the. injury
sustained-by the center for the college team
With practice our boys need fear no team
in these parts. Archie McKeun. the man
ager of the. team is some basket ball PLAYER
himself This is game that should be
patronized by all and the boys given en-
,couragement in this efforts to promote this
sport. Tonight they will meet the fast
Washburn team here and as the expense Of
getting these teams here is great you are ie-
quested to attend The boys wish to ex-
tend thanks to Mr.. Stoddard of the Layal
Theatre for HIS Kindness in allowing them
the use Of his theatre and TO all the people
of Odanah for their patronage. J. c. Nc
Elrone officiated as referee in his old time
way and indeed it looked natural and, like
old times TO see him again in action.

VOLUNTARY TAX.
Good Way to Raise Money For Improvement
Purposes.

1t seems that it is nearly impossible to
secure an appropriation for road and other
improvements needed in our village. Would
it not be good Idea to start a voluntary
tax roll among ourselves for this purpose,
not only the Indian but the whites as well,
whereby we could raise enough available
funds for our needed repairs. A meeting
could be called at which the amount of taxes
from each would be asked and officers elect
ed to look after the collection of same. A
supervisor, clerk, treasurer and ETC., could
he elected. 1t would only be matter of a
short while when the voluntary tax roll
would meet all the. requirements and we
would have our village in a good condition.

MURDER RESULT OF FEU0
Affair Has Held the Attention Of
French Capital for Some Time
Noted Journalist Had Accused Of.
fetal Of Corruption.

Paris, March 1S.-Gaston Calmette,
editor of the Figaro and a noted
journalist, paid the penalty of the nm
written French law which forbids
that the honor of woman shall be
dragged into public controversy.
He was assassnated, his body rid
died with bullets, by Nine. Henrietta
Caillaux, wife of Joseph CaillauX, min
lister of finance, who had been the OBJ
iect of bitter personal attacks pub
lished In Figaro and signed by Cal
mette. He died on Monday.
The Caillaux- Calmette feud had held
the attention of Paris for a long time.
The Figaro editor repeatedly accused
the finance minister of political corrup-
ton. The feud reached its climax last
week when the Figaro published the
contents OF love letters that Caillaux
wrote to his present wife in 190l-be-
fore they were married and when she
was the wife of Leo Claretie, the lit
erary critic Of the Figaro
1t was not to avenge the attack upon
her husband, but 10 vindicate her own
honor that Madame Caillaux started
out to shoot Calmette. With a pistol
concealed in her muff she went to the
Figaro Office at the busiest time of the
evening and sent up her card to Cal
mettes room.
Paul Bourget, the famous novelist
and academician, was with the editor
when her card was received. Cal
mette was astounded when he learned
the identity of his caller

vised.

Immediately upon entering the room

at the first shot and lay apparently
lifeless After the fifth shot the at
tendants seized the woman. who re

II was found that one bullet had
lodged in the groin. one had passed
through the ribs close to the heart.
He died a few moments later.

trying to drive geese from the Lake

his home just before feeding time,
hit the boss gander of the flock with

that he turned upon the child with the
rest of the geese. and five minutes
after Frank was rescued by his father
he died. Physicians say the boy died
of commissions, due to the attack, but
his eyes had been picked out and he
was otherwise badly injured His

WILL QUIT BUSINESS
UNITED STATES EXPRESS COM.
PANY TO CLOSE AFFAIRS.
Reduced Rates Ordered for February
! Caused Actlon-Parcel Post
Is Not Blamed.

New York, March l6.-At a meeting
held here on Friday the United States
Express company decided to liquidate
and go out of business.
Following is the resolution passed
Resolved, That, pursuant 10 the
power and authority conferred upon
the board OF directors of the United
States Express company by its articles
of association. the board unanimously
declares that it is for the best inter
ests OF the company that the company
be dissolved as soon as may be. with
out awaiting the expiration of its term
OF existence. and that its business and
affairs be settled up and finally ad-
justed as promptly as may be done.
The president is directed to inform
the shareholders Of said action OF the
beard"
Although the heads of the Wells
Fargo company. Adams Express com.
pany and the American Express com
pany have declared that they are not
considering liquidation of their con
Germs. it is generally felt that their
stockholders will bring the matter to
their attention as happened in the case
OF the United States Express.
ID. l. Roberts, president Of the
United States Express. declared thaC
the decision TO liquidate has resulted
largely from the reduction in express
rates that took place February | last.
But for this, he declared the company
would have continued in business.
As a result OF the directors action
about fifteen thousand employees of the
company will be without positions in
the not distant future. The company's
pay roll is $6,000,O00
