TAKES THE SECOND.
Odanah Basket Ball Team Plays With
WaSh5urn.

Last Friday evening in the Loyal Thea
tire the Odanah Basket Ball Team met the
much footed Washburn cam and what they
did to them was ashame. Our sister city
across the bay can boast of good home tai
ent plays, but basket ball teams--ging erale.
Our boys had not the least bit of trouble
in taking score of So to on them and the
nine points Washburn got were gifts. In
the last half Odanah did not try to get any
basket but simply practiced combination
plays up and down the floor. Tonight our
boys meet the strong Northland College
team at Ashland and good game is looked
for as the college has some basket ball team.
The team under the able management of
Archie McKnen will make strong bid for
basket ball honors in this territory.

WHEN Is A INDIAN A BREED.
Supreme Court Of the United States WiH
On the Case Soon.

Washington How much white blood II
takes to convert full blood Indian into a
mized blood, is to be passed upon by the
supreme court. Solicitor General Davis
today asked the court, because of the large
large amount of land ownership turning upl
on the answer, to consider the question at
an early date.
The question has risen specifically in the
case of the Chippewa Indian of White
Earth reservation in Minnesota where, uu-
der the law, ''mixed bloods'' are permitted
10 sell their allotted lands at once. The
circuit court of appeals of the eight circuit
has held that an identi6able mixture of
other blood makes Indians ''mixed bloods''
and the government, seeking to set aside
sales by Indians with one-eight aud one-
sixteenth white blood, brought she case to
the supreme court.

SECURES APPROPRIATION
FOR MILF LAC INDIANS
Representative Miller Raises Appropriation
From $25 to $4,000

Washington. :. Representative Miller has
secured the insertion of an item of $50, 900
in the Indian appropriation bill, now being
framed by the committee, to he used for
the purchase Of lands on which the non-re-
moval Mile Lac Indians are to be located.
Ths Commissioner of Indian Affairs asked
for $4,000 for this purpose, but Mr.. Mill
Ter did not believe that this was enough and
suggested the larger amount.
At Mr.. Miller's suggestion $4,000 is
also carried i'll the bill for two hospitals, one
70 be located in Red Lake or Leech Lake
reservation and the other in the northeast
ern part of the state, to care for the Indians
in that section.
Provision also will be made in the bill
for schools anl physician to look after the
Mile Lac Indians living around Mile Lac
lake.
This is good move on the part of Mr..
Miller as it opens up an avenue we have
long expected. It is well known fact that
throughout Michigan. Wisconsin and Min
nesota are many Indians today who have
never had allottments of land and who are
entitled to them, and for whom no land on
any reservation is available from the fact
that all parcels are taken up. Now as we
understand it this government has guaranteed
the same 10 them. Would It not be a
good move on the part of the congressman
and senators of these states to get together
and have bill drafted and presented for
the purpose of setting aside reservation
for these Indians on one of the many heavily
timbered Forest Reserves now held by the
government. 1t is high time that they
were forced into making good TO the Indian
in their many promises, made them and
payment made on some of the many mill
lions of dollars owed the Indian by this
government.
The government today owes the Indian
Of this territory something like $50, 900, 900
for lands ceded in early days and which this
government. had promised to pay, but, as
yet they have failed to do.
Every time the Indian makes requests
for settlement of same he is put off with
promises. This not business. 1t is up to
the government to try and make good to
the Indian in small degree at least and
pay to him some of this enormous amount.
1t is time the Senate rs and congressman Of
these states tried to do something for the
Indian to whom the people of the present
day owe so much. All he asks for is what
is rightfully his. Grant to him the oppor-
tunity to collect some of his just dues and
we believe taere is no better time than the
preSenf

Aoain On The Job.

H. c. Eaton, government farmer here,
who has been laid up for the past several
weeks with mild attack of paralysis is
again able to be about and last Tuesday in
company with the Indian police drove to
Ashland where they secured from the gov
ernment warehouse there a large supply OF
government goods for distribution here.
The Agent P S. Everest does not care to
have this stuff go to waste in the warehouse
so is cleaning it out. For years past large
quantities of stuff has been shipped to this
agency but the Indians have never needed
them so they were left stored there and Mr..
Everest now undoubtedly intends getting
rid of the bulk.

Inspector E. 3. Linnen
To Do the Work
GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST FRIEDMAN
Friedman Will Undoubtedly Be Re.
moved As the Head.
Especial to The Starr


Washington, D. C.-Commissioner
Sells made, the statement before the
Committee on Indian Affairs of the
House, that Inspector e. B. Linnen
had gone to the Carlisle Indian school
to make a thorough investigation of
the charges against the management
of that school under Superintendent
Moses Friedman. Very grave charges
are filed against his over-lordship
there. Over two scores of the pupils
are reported to have been connected
with cases involving immortality, and
grave charges are made affecting the
management Of the athletic funds, the
treatment Of the pupils, etc. Inspector
Linnen is regarded as one of the very
best inspecting officials in the Indian
service, and It is believed that such
actions will follow his report upon
conditions at Carlisle as to place this
school upon it's former high standard
enjoyed under Captain, now General,
r. H. Pratt.
We regard it a good piece Of bus
iress on the part of Commissioner
Sells the investigation of existing con-
ditions at the Carlisle Indian school
and one that goes to show he cer-
tainly intends to CLEAN out all branch
es Of the Indian service. For years
we have heard complaints made
against this school by students who
have returned home from there and
who have refused to return on ac-
count of the treatment accorded them
there.
Each year sees large number of
Indian boys and girls being sent to
Carlisle for training and education.
but, as the students returning claim
it is no fit place for any one to go.
wrong with the management of that
institution and the investigation into
~
the result Of placing the Carlisle
school again on good foundation
and making it an institution one need
have no fear of sending their children
to and one in which immortality will
have no sway. If one-half the charges
preferred against Moses Friedman are
true than it is up to the department
to see that Moses finds other quarters
than the ones he is now occupying at
a fancy price.
The Indian department is certain
ly setting pace for good government
in the Indian service and any kick
registered by the Indian with good
merit will certainly be investigated in
fast time. Well may the student at
Carlisle rejoice and all that have at
tended the grand old school, that at
last something is to be done toward
establishing good management.
