BILL INTRODUCED
FOR Relief OF
THE SEMlNOLES
MRS. MINNIE MOORE WILSON. OF
K1SSIMMEE, HAS BEEN MAX.
ING GREAT EFFORTS IN THEIR
BEHALF
(By Claud F. IOhnsOnl

Tallahassee, Fla. April l9-After
years of unrelenting effort in behalf
of the remnant of Seminole Indians
left in Florida, Mrs. Minnie Moore
Wilson, of Kissimmee, has cause to
feel eratified that relief for that
tribe will soon be furnished by the
State of Florida.
A measure has been presented in
the house by Representative Wilson,
of Manatee, that is conservative en-
Ough in its provisions to meet with
almost universal approval of the
legislature. The bill provides for
the appointment of trustees to have
charge of lands that the bill will
grant to the Seminoles for a perm
anent home, and it is believed the
bill will be passed speedily and be-
come a law.
Two years ago bill was intro
duced and passed that granted an
immense area of lands in the Ever
glades to the Indians. but the meas
ure was vetoed by the governor at
the close of the session. The Objec-
tions advance to the measure before
was that the number of acres called
for was too large, in fact it was as
serted that the state did not own
lands to that extent in the section
that was stipulated. But this is
overcome in the bill now pending.
Airs. Minnie Moore Wilson, Jr., of
Kissimmee, is known the country
over as an author and champion Of
the cause of the remaining members
of the Seminole tribe, and many a
column of interesting data has been
published by her in their interest.
After the vote of the Seminole
land bill two years ago, Mrs. Will
son set out to interest the women's
clubs of Florida in the work of pro-
yiding home for the Indians, and 1t
now appears to have brought results.
MANY people, however, do not know
that there are approximately six
hundred of the pure blOoded Semi
noIes in the extreme southern part
of Florida. and that they have Deen
roaming about that section Tor
wears. each season reducing their
SIMPLY of game and making their
con ndition more critical.
The United States Government
has had Dr. A. p. Spencer as agent
for the Indians for some time, ana
through his good Offices some assist
,nce has been rendered. hut the fact
that the Indians have no lands that
they can call their own, and that
they move from place to place from
season to season, has made their ex-
istence meagre.
Missionaries from the educated
tribes of Seminoles that were trans
ported to Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory by the Federal Government,
have been visitors to the Seminoles
of Florida. and many of the natives
of this state have become modern
| in their ideas.
II the plan advocated by Mrs. Will
son and purposed TO be fullhlled by
the bill now pending becomes effect
i've this year, the remnant OF the
seminoles now in this state will soon
become as worthy citizens of the
Flower State as have the charges OF
the government in western states.
Much credit is due Mrs. Wilson
for the work she has pursued against
an unfavorable sentiment. and the
measure now in the house should
have speedy passage.
We owe this much to the original
settlers of Florida.

ord because of "intimations made
that organized labor is in sympathy
with the campaign that has been
conducted in Hillstrom's behalf by
some organizations"
To illustrate that the extreme
limit of fairness" in this case has
been resorted to by the officials, the
board of pardons, notwithstanding
the other evidence against him, Of
fered Hillstrom his liberty if he
would give the name of the woman,
whose honor he claims he is protect

two his own attorney and the prison
warden, with the positive assurance
that the name would never be di-

But "it is nobody's BUSINESS" and
as the laws of Utah provide for the
death penalty for murders in the
first degree, HiIlstrom will most
likely be executed, but NOT, Friend
Stone, for anything connected with
Tabor or labor organizations" both
of which are respected in Utah, and
certainly not for being a "Swede''

THE PUBLIC FORUM
DEFENDS HILLS PRoSEcU-

TlON.-I desire to protest against
such ISLANDERS and libel of my native
state as those contained in the arti-
Gle by Geo. B. Stone, wherein he
states that Joseph HiFsuom is to be
shot Nov. 10 for no other reason
than being too active IN behalf OF
organized labor in the state of Utah,
etc.
Joseph Hillstrom, alias Joe Hill,
was convicted in Salt Lake City OF
one of the most revolving murders
in the criminal annals of the state of
Utah. A grocer named Morrison was
shot down IN his store by man who
was attempting to burglarize the
store Morrison's son entered from
the rear, fired at the murderer,
.Wounding him, and was then shot
down. "Hill," suffering from fresh
gunshot wound in his breast, was ar
rested in suburb, tried by a jury
of his peers and convicted of the
double murder.
The evidence was by no means all
circumstantial, but Of course the
fresh gunshot wound played a con-
SpicuouS part. "HiIl'' claims that it
is "nobody's business" where he OBJ
tanned the wound; again he claims it
was received in a quarrel over a
woman whose honor he proposes to
protect even at the cost of his life.
Suddenly it was discovered" that
Hill was Hillstrom, that he was
Swede, a member of the |. w. W.,
ETC., a labor leader, ETC., and because
of this he was being prosecuted"
The Swedish minister was appealed
to and through President Wilson a
reprieve was secured. But not a bit
of new evidence was presented and
Hillstrom ignored an invitation to
attend the final meeting of the board
OF. pardons in his case. The Swedish
Vice-consul says the trial was fair
and everything regular.

EXTENDING SYMPATHY,
BERLIN BtAMES BRITAIN.

Berlin, via London.-The following
dispatch has been sent by the German
Foreign Office to the German Embassy
at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the State Department.:
THE German Government desires to
express its deepest sympathy at the
loss of lives on board the Lusitania.
The responsibility rests, however, with
the British Government, which through
its plan of starving the civilian popula-
ton of Germany, has forced Germany
to resort to retaliatory measures.
'In spite Of the German offer to stop
the submarine war in case the starva-
ton plan was given up, British mer-
chant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, SO that pre-
vious search was impossible.
"They cannot, therefore, be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A recent
declaration made to the British Par
lament by the parliamentary secre-
tary in answer to a question by Lord
Charles Beresford said that at present
practically all British merchant YES
sells were armed and provided with
hand grenades.
Besides, 1t has been openly ad-
mitted by the English press that the
Lusitania on previous voyages, re-
peatedly carried large quantities OF
war material. On the present voyage
the Lusitania carried $500 cases Of
ammunition, while the rest Of the
cargo also consisted chiefly of contra
band.
"If England, after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk, and thus lightheartediy
assumed responsibility for the human
, life on board steamer, which, OWNS
to it's armament and cargo, was liable
to destruction, the German Govern
ment, in spite of it's heartfelt sym
pathy for the loss of American lives,
cannot but regret that Americans felt
more inclined to trust to English
promises rather thar to pay attention
to the WARNINGS from the German side

CRUSADE ONLY BEGUN,
DECLARES DERNBUR0

New York.-Dr. Bernard Dernburg.
| former Minister of Colonies of the Ger.
man Empire, and regarded in this coun.
try as the Kaiser's spokesman, says
that Germany had only begun her
deadly crusade against Great Britain's
commerce, and that the sinking of the
Lusitan1a would be followed by the de.
struction Of other British ships,
whether OF not there were Americans
aboard
The American flag, he said, would
afford not the slightest protection for
vessels which carried cargo that the
Germans regarded contraband. He
added that even parts of flying ma
chimes, automobile accessories and cot
ton were now considered eontraband
by the German Admiralty. Finally,
Dr. Dernburg said:
Amy ship carrying goods to Great
Britain Is to be sunk. England has
cut off Germany from the outside
world, and we intend to isolate her in
like manner, so that all communica-
ton with other parts of the earth will
be impossible"
