ful and unique present goes 20 the first per-
son Of Indian blood that has ever lived in
the White House.
When we learn that the greatest hunters
of the tribe, clubbed SO to speak, to hunt
down the largest and finest animals, the
magnifcence of the firs may be understood
by all. Nor has there been any hidebound
tribal conventionalities in selecting the fur
bearing victims for milady'f set. Rocky
mountain goat, big-horn sheep, elk, four
kinds of bear, moose, weasel, mink and
marten have been slaughtered to present to
the first lady of the land an outfit of fus
that will give her occasion for comfort,
warmth and pleasure.
However, there is more than mere
Nimrod's trophies III this set Some of the
valuable pieces have been in the possession
of the tribal chiefs for more than half cen
tury. A white buffalo skin is the piece de
resistance of the collection. There is a
legend, too, that is scored, connected with
immaculate bison's hide. When all the
furs have been gathered they will be
brought to the Capital by Chief Three
Bears, VINO IS 96 years old. He will go to
Washington and give the furs co Mrs. Calf

From u. S. Stand.
FARLEY IS EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Germany

bassador Gerard at Berlin is under.
stood to have asked concession from
this government in its protest against
the kaiser's submarine warfare. Of
ficials who have seen the ambassador s
dispatch today generally expressed the
belief that these can not be granted.
Ambassador Gerard has asked in
structions of this government as to the
attitude he shall assume regarding the
informal presentation of the German
reply, and the entire matter today
was in the hands of President Wilson
at Cornish. The president has been
acquainted with the virtual invitation
by Germany to exchange informal
views before she sends her final reply
to this government. The exchange of
such views in advance of the trans
mission Of the German reply, will
lead to considerable parley and will
again delay the receipt of the note
here, providing this government ac-
cepts the German invitation for a dis
cussion, officials stated.
Conceal Concessions.
State department officials would not
disclose the concessions wanted in
Germany, but the inference drawn in
official circles is that the kaiser's gov
ernment wants to promise immunity
from attack to certain class of Am.

is not willing, at the same time, to

SUICIDE AGREEMENT
SCENTED BY POLICE
IN DOUBLE TRAGEDY

RUSHV1LLE, Ind. July 7.-Orville
Andrews, %, and Manda McIlsrech, 10,
were found dead today in a rug fac
tory in the northern part Of the city.
Both had been shot through the head,
and, according to the police, they
have been dead since Sunday night.
1t is supposed that Andrews first shot
the girl and then killed himself as the
result of a suicide pact.
The bodies were found by Charles
Andrews, owner of the factory and
brother OF the dead man, when he re-
turned today from his vacation. The
motive for the tragedy is unknown.
Orville Andrews was a divorced man.
Sunday morning Andrews hired a
horse and buggy at Linwood, livery
barn. He drove to Rushville and put
the rig in local livery stable. When
he failed to return the outfit to the
Linwood livery the police here were
notified. Miss Mc1lsrech lived north
of the city Andrews home is here
and he comes from a prominent fam
lily. The girl always has borne a good
reputation. A searching investigation
has been begun by the police and the
county coroner, and rumors that the
tragedy may not have been the result
Of q suicide pact are being sifted by
the police.

storage house. The shipment had been
made under the name Of F. H. Hender-
son. At the same time the police
learned that another trunk similarly
filled had been shipped at the same
time by Mr. Morgan's assailant. Search

Wireless station along the coast sent
messages OF warning to all ships that
left this port during the last half of

mite which Holt was said to have
had in his possession is missing, and 1t
is feared that it was shipped upon a
transatlantic liner.
In the trunk found in west side
storage house were about 1875 pounds
Of dynamite, and 1t was one Of the
biggest hauls of hig explosives ever
made by the New York police. Pow

been made by the Keystone company

that manufactured the dynamite found
in Hollis suitcase at the Morgan home
on Long Island last Saturday. This
was the deadly array found In the
trunk:

Inspector Owen Eagen Of the bureau
OF combustibles, said that each stick of
dynamite had been fitted with fuse,
ready to be exploded. Egan said the
