possible that 5000 Chippewa In
dams of Northern Minnesota may re-
ceive a Christmas present of nearly
$2,500,000 this year. he court of
claims at Washington is considering
their case, and according to George
B. Edgerton of st. Paul, who is their
attorney, the Indians are practically
certain to get an award of between
$$1, 100000 and $1,400,000. He
says the interior department, which
is defendant in the case, as trustee,
has virtually agreed to the claim.
The case involves the disposal Of
Indian lands on the Minnesota reser-
walton under which the Chippewas
were to be removed to the White
Earth reservation and their other
lands sold and the money held in
trust for them. The Indians con-
tend that large part of their lands
were given as homesteads to soldiers
for which they received no compen-
sation. Mr.. Edgerton says that each
Indian, including the children, will
receive between $500 and $500.

ENGLAND FEARS
GERMAN INVASION

London, Oct. 2S.-Germany's thrust
unto the Balkans is being closely
watched here. 1t is realized that it
is much more serious than an actual
landing on the English coast.
Although an invasion Of England
is practically impossible at this time
yet it is believed that the German
Balkan activity = means attacking
England practically through it's col
onies. This, it is believed, would be
more serious than an attack on Eng
land. The Germans, if successful in
Serbia, will probably cross to the
Suez canal and from there attack
British colonies.

Children Killed
When Explosion
w recks School

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 28.-Many
children were killed this morning
when an explosion wrecked the st.
Johns Parochial school. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion shortly after 672
children gathered for the morning
session of school. Many of the chill
dren we're caught in jammed doors
which opened inward. Immediately
after the explosion the children ran
for doors and windows In wild colfu-
sion. Firemen were unable to open
the big main doors on account of the
mass of little bodies crushed against
them from the inside. Before the fire
apparatus arrived neighbors went to
the rescue of the children with blan-
kets and endeavored to catch the chill
dren who jumped from the windows.
Twenty bodies were taken from
the building at II o'clock this morn
ing and there are many more bodies
in the ruins of the building.
Trapped on Upper Floors.
The children were trapped on the
upper floors or were caught because
of the doors opening inward. The
youngsters were burned or crushed
to death. Twenty trapped children
were rescued from the building, Sc
riously injured.
The bodies recovered were aged
from eight to twelve years. Nine
were so badly burned that recogni-
ton is impossible. .
The building was merely a brick
shell with an inflammable interior.
There were no fire escapes. The
building was three stories and the
stairs and all interior was of wood
work which burned like finder. The
brick made the building like an oven.

the United States would submit to

curly State bank today, ''in order
to secure a night service. The
Great Northern should be requested

DENOUNCES SYSTEM
OF FEE SPLITTING

San Francisco, June 23.-The secret
division Of fees between physicians
and surgeons is Criminal dishones-
ty," said DR.. William D. 'Haggard OF
Nashville, who addressed a meeting
here of the Fellows of the Am
erican College of Surgeons.
"Fee-splitting,' DR.. Haggard declar-
ed, lis criminal, because it leads, first,
to unnecess airy operations; second,
to incompetent work, resulting in un'
necessary death; and, third, to a con-
slant lowering Of the moral and pro-
fessional standards in medicine. The
practice has all through it the ele-
ment Of theft.
when a physician refers a patient
to a surgeon under an agreement that
the surgeon later is to divide with
him the fee collected, the crime Is
not primarily one against the pocket
book of the patient. 1t is a crime
against the health or life Of the pa
tient. This practice can that the
physician auctions off his patient to
the highest bidder, who naturally Is
