Full Citizenship For
ManySi Indians
Indian Citizenship Commission Compile
ties Preliminary Work on Standing
Rock Indian Reservation

About 10 Standing Rock Sioux
will constitute the first class Of citi-
zen Indians in North Dakota, un-
der the new policy OF the Secretary
OF the Interior. After spending
about three weeks on The reservation
the commission named by Secretary
Lahe, consisting OF Major McLaugh-
lin and Inspector f.. a. Thackery,
completed their work yesterday,
and recommended the names of
|about 10 OF the most deserving In
dians, who have shown capacity for
managing their own affairs, for full
fedged citizenship.
The applications for citizenship
bearing the endorsement of the COM
missioEers will no doubt be favor
|ably acted on by Secretary Lane in
the near future. The Indians grant
ed citizenship will be given patent
to their lands and any Of their funds
held in trust by the government
turned over to them. While these
Indians will be given full and COM
pletc charge of their own affairs and
property, and enjoy all the rights
and privileges Of the white citizens,
they must also stand ready to as
sumo the responsibilities that every
good citizen must shoulder. The
citizen Indian must pay taxes OH his
property, vote at elections. serve as
jurors in the courts and share many
other burdens from which they have
been exempt in the past
While only limited number of
Indians arc granted full citizenship
at this time, it is the intention of
the Secretary to extend citizenship
to an increasing number Of Indians
Of the various tribes from time to
time, depending no doubt in great
measure upon the results reported
from the first classes, where the new
plan has been put into effect. Tt
is therefor up to the Standing Rock
Indians who arc the first to he given
full citizenship rights to. manage
their own affairs wisely and set
good example in order that the
emancipation of the entire tribe may
bc speedy and complete.
The commissioners left yesterday
for the Cheyenne reservation in
South Dakota.

The claim agent for the Milwau-

the building of the Yellow Trail,
which parallels that road through
the reservation in South Dakota,
has saved his company thousands OF
dollars in fire claims the past two
years, and that every stretch Of road
laid out tributary to the railroad
materially lessened the danger Of
fires for which the railroad company
is held responsible.
Superintendent Covey Of the
Standing Rock reservation, las the

able Indian money on roads leading
to Fort Yates during the summer.
He intends to do some more work
this fall paying the Indians out of
his labor appropriation, and num-
ber of teams and men will be busy
until the freeze up if his plans are
carried out. This is a move in the
right direction, and the money spent

MANY SENSATIONAL SCENES IN
1.-THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

There are scenes in Griffith "The
Birth of a Nation'' which simply
beggar the most expressive description.
The burning of Atlanta is shown
with fidelity that is remarkable
the ftful glare of the burning city ex-
tends as far as the eye can reach. The
miles of territory and thousands of
persons that appear in single scene
makes the realism startling.
Battles in which thousands of men,
horses and cannon are engaged and in
which the fighting GIBBS and flows from
trench to trench is shown with accur-
acy that makes the audience reel
with horror.
The cast of players is well chosen
from among Griffith list of stars.
Lillian Gish is especially noteworthy.
One of the finest touches in the whole
piece is her Irritation with union
soldier on guard at the. entrance to
hospital. It never fails to bring
laughter from the audience.
No one should miss seeing E'The
Birth of Nation ;, when it comes here
for its weeks engagement at the
Rhode, commencing Sunday.

events depicted in most wonderful

DEATH OF MRS. CLARA ]. YoNK.
Well Known Woman of the City Died
at Early Hour Today After Two
Weeks Illness from Pneumonia.

Mrs. Clara J. Yonk, aged sixty-eight
years, widow of the late Clarence Yonk
and well known to many people in
Kenosha, died at her home, 726 Fleet
street, at an early hour this morning
after two weeks illness from pneu-
monia. Mrs. Yonk was a native of
Holland where she was born January
30, 1S47. She had lived in Wisconsin
for many years, having spent much of
her life at Mukwonago. She came to
Kenosha from that city some seven
years ago and during her life in Keno
sha she had won large circle of
friends to whom the announcement of
her death will come as a personal sor-
row. She is survived by three sons
and three daughters. The children are
Henry A. Yonk, Ewald j. Yonk, John
G. Yonk and Miss Aida Yonk and Mrs.
John Lester of Kenosha and Mrs.
Frank Doring of Chicago. The funeral

WOMAN MUST PAY ALIMoNY.
olga Marie Jensen Ordered to Pay
Her Husband $3.50 as Part Of
Divorce Judgment.

There was new feature in the di-
vorce judgment signed by Judge Ran
dali this morning in which John Jen-
sen was named as the plaintiff and
Mrs. Olga Marie Jensen as the defen-
dant, as the formal order of the court
holds that the wife must pay to the
husband the sum of $780, Tt was al
legged that the woman took this amount
of money belonging to the husband
when she fled from Kenosha last July.
Police are now seeking to locate Mrs.
Jensen. Jensen is not nearly as much
interested in the collection of the $3.50
as he is in the recovery of his little
daughter. Under the order of the
court he is given the custody of the
child and it is probable that courts of
Wisconsin and Iowa will clash when it
comes to carrying out this part of the
order. It is claimed that the wife and
the little girl are now in an Iowa city
and the police of that city have been
asked to make an effort to secure the
custody of the child. No warrant Las
been issued for the arrest of Mrs. Jen-
sen even though very sensational
charges were made against her in the
divorce action.
