CONCERNING THE ANNUAL REPORT ON INDIAN
 AFFAIRS

The eighty-second annual re- port of the bureau of Indian af- fairs. covering the period from July 1, 1912 to June 1.1913. will soon be ready for public dlstri- ubtion.
 This belng the first report of Commissioner Cato Sells. it deals principally with the activities of of the Indian bureau during the administration of his predecess- ors.
 Attention is called to the fact that the Indian country under the jurisdiction of the Indian of flee has an area as large as that of all the New England states and the state of New York com bined. It is stated that there are approximately three hundred thousand Indians, whose com bined property is estimated to be worth about nine hundred mil lions of dollars.
 Notwithstanding the fact that since 1876 the government has provided approximately eighty million dollars for schools among the Indians, there are today ten thousand Indian children with out any school facilities whatever principally in the southwest. and more particularly among the Ma vaio and Papago Indians. That there are about seven thousand defective Indian children, either mentally or physically. for whose care and training no adequate fa- cillties are available. The pres ent available appropriation for Indian schools provides for 223 day schools situated on Indian reservations near the Indian homes: 76 boarding schools locat- ed on the reservation, and 35 boarding schools located off the reservations and known as non- reservation schools. Of the 65,- GOO Indian children of school age these schools care for approxl- mately 25.000. There are enroll ed in mission and public schools 25, 500 Indian children.
 Under the jurisdiction of this bureau there are approximately 25.OOO Indians suffering from tu- bercslosis. while the available h. dian hospital facilities for all of these patients, adults and chil- dren will not exceed three hund- red beds. During the past fiscal year 1, 905 Indians were reported as having died of tuberculosis; this being probably not more than 75 per cent of the total number of Indians who have died from this disease. Trachoma is referr- ed to as a serious eye disease of of which there exists more than sixty thousand cases among the Indians.
 Congress has provided an ap- propriation for the constructing

Chides Administration
For Apparent LaXity

A complaint that the President has
not speedily put into effect by pro-
clamation the ship registry bill was
voiced in the House late yesterday ny
Minority Leader Mann. Mr.. Mann read
a telegram from President Farrell of the
steel corporation saying that his COM
pany had q number of ships ready for
cargoeS and were patiently awaiting the
putting into effect OF the law liberal
izing the registration laws.
Il do not know just when the ship
registry bill was signed by the Presi-
dent, but ! assume II was sent him
at least a week ago" said Mr.. Mana.
We have various other emergency mat
teTs that are likely to be presented and
urged on the ground that We must act
Immediately because of a great emer-
Eency. Although the ship registry bill
was passed more than a week ago, The
regulations under which il is to b. ad-
rHinistered have not been issued by the
President. We were told when We pass
Cd the bill that il was to meet a great
emergency. Apparently the depart
ments that deal with these great emer-
Eencies forget the emergency as soon as
Congress has acted. We appropriated

PRISON CLAUSE PUT
INTO CLAYTON BILL
Senator Reed Asserts Perkins
More Progressive Than
Some Democrats.

Teeth have been put into at least A
part Of tho trust legislation now pend
ing before Congress. BY a vote Of % TO
II. there was put into the Clayton bill
in the Senate a provision to make viola
tiOns OF the tying contract section
punishable by imprisonment
Senators Borah and Reed led in urg-
ing this provision. The tying" contract
section makes it unlawful for any per-
son to sell or lease patented article
on condition that supplies or other ar
ticles be bought of the patentee. This
Ould change the law as Fixed by the
decision of the Supreme Court In the
mimeograph case.
Senator Reed stirred the feelings of
the Democrats bv declaring George w.
Perkins went farther in the regulation
of trusts than the Democrats seemed
willing to go. He charged the Demo-
Gratis were less progressive and less
illinC to deal with the trusts vigor-
Ously than Mr. Perkins. Senator Reed
said the Democrats would not carry
out the Baltimore platform promises on
trusts unless penitentiary sentences
were written into the statutes.
The Senate is making slow progress
on the bill Nevertheless, Senators to-
dav thought a VOTE might be had at the
end Of this week or early next week.

Will SON PREPARING
SHIP PROCLAMATION
Goes to Summer Home Tonight
and Will Issue Same on Re-
turn Next Wednesday.

President Wilson w: so to the sum
rner capital. at Cornish. y. H. tonight
to prepare his proclamation suspendins
certain provisions OF the old navigation
laws in order that foreign ships owned
by Americans can more readily avail
themselves of the new ship registry
law. Upon his return to Washington,
next Wednesday, the proclamation VIII
ha issued.
The President will take with him re-
ports which have been submitted to
him by Assistant Secretary of Com
nCrCe Sweet. Z. T. Chamberlain. chief
Of the Bureau of navigation. Depart
ment of Commerce. and by the commit
tee Of shipowners appointed by SeCre-
recommendations as 10 what the
proclamation should contain. II is
understood that the President will prob
ablv adopt those made by Secretary
Sweet. Under these reCommenda tlons
the President will not set aside fatty
those provisions of the navigation laws
requiring masters and watch officers on
ships registered under Inc America n
flag to be American citizens. but will
set a time limit within which foreign
ship officers can establish their inten-
ton to become American citizens.
suspend the provisions requiring ships
entering American registry to be sur
Teyed. inspected. and measured by
American officials. according to stand
ards different from those applying
abroad.
According to Nj Sweet. about 10G
ships now under foreign :iacs will apply
at once for American registry if his
communications are adopted.
Included in these 100 ships are thos-
OF the United States Steel Corporation
Standard Oil Company. United Fruit
Company. and Dollar line. The heads
Of these concerns are impatient for the
proclamation to be issued and for the
passage of the war risk insurance bill
which. providing that the Government
shall insure CargoeS against risk OF
seizure by belligerent nations, would
give the ship owners necessary protec-
ton.
The President is waiting passage oi
the war insurance bill before putting
into effect the new merchant marine
law. In answer to complaints of Con-
gresham Mann over the delay. Presi-
dent Wilson's advisers today said that
the registry bill is practically useless
without the insurance bill, which is now
held UP in Congress.
