TRIBE now DEAD.
Ishi, Noted Aborigine, Succumbs
to White Plague.
ORIGIN MADE FIN FAMOUS.

Shown as Survivor of Last Tribe Of
Deer Creek Indians of Yano Line
Lived on Victims Of His Bow and
Arrow.
San Francisco.-1shi has been gath
cred to the land of his fathers.
Last OF the Deer Creek Indians, tribe
Of Yano. Ishi has gone to the happy
hunting grounds. He died at the Uni
versity of California hospital, a victim
of the "white plague" disease Of the
paleface.
For several months the aborigine,
who was captured in the wilds of
northern Butte county in the summer
Of 1911, had been in i'll health. A year
ago he developed acute lung trouble,
and at times he suffered greatly, bear
ing his pain with the stoicism of his
kind.
Just few minutes before he passed
away Ishi joked with Curator Clifford
Of the affiliated colleges. At that time
he was in agony. Final relief came
with hemorrhage.
1shi, who never had seen any money
Of the white man until he was brought
into civilization, left what he consider
ed a fortune in worldly goods-about
$3.50 and personal effects. With the
common desire of oil California In
dams, Ishi labored to accumulate
wealth. Unlike the members of most
tribes, whose standing is rated by
what they give away, 1shi, with the
characteristics Of California and Brit
ish Columbia Indians, boarded his pen.
MES, which he earned in various ways
His estate was taken in charge by the
public administrator.
Ishi, living the life of a savage in
Butte county, stole calf in the sum-
mer Of 1911, and officers Of the law
ran him down. They were amazed to
discover the thief was primitive
creature, clad in animal skins and
armed only with bow and arrow
The prisoner was taken to the Butte
county Jail, and it was there that
T. T. Waterman, assistant professor in
anthropology, pronounced him to be
the only surviving member of the lost
tribe Of Deer Creek Indians of the
Yano line.
The scientific world was greatly in
terested in Professor Waterman's an
nouncement. and Ishi became famous.
He was brought to this city and lodg-
ed at the affiliated colleges ON Sept. 4.
1911. After months Of patient effort
Professor Waterman was able to talk
with 1shi. What he learned from the
captive left no doubt in his mind that
Ishi really was the last Of the savage
tribe of Deer Creek.
1shi adapted himself to the ways of
the white man. He built himself a
home ON the grounds of the affiliated
colleges, where he was the object of
much curiosity. He attended lectures
by Professor Waterman and other sa
wants of the State university.
In May. 1914, Ishi took DR.. A. T..
Kroeber. head Of the affiliated colleges
museum, and DR.. Saxton II. Pope to
Butte and showed them his former
haunts, revertins to his skins and
bows and arrows. The report of Or
Koeber and DIR. Pope confirmed the be-
lief of Ishi's descent.

St. Paul, June 20.-Monday's sena.
torial primary was landslide for F..
B. Kellogg, who will be the next Unit.
ed States senator from Minnesota, un.
less the voters of this state forget
their traditional allegiance to the Re-
publican party.
Returns thus far received from vari-
GUS parts of the state indicate that
Kellogg will have total of at least

est competitor and he may do even
better.
The large vote for Mr.. Kellogg is
cited by politicians as indicating Min.
nesota's belief in the preparedness
policy. This was the main point in
Kellogg's campaign.
He carried st. Paul and Ramsey
county by nearly two to one over A.
o. Eberhart, his nearest competitor
Crookston, in the Northwestern part
Of the state, gave Kellogg seven more
votes than were given all his com.
petitors combined.
Some election districts kellogg car
ried three to one over his nearest
competitor; some four to one, and
here and there a precinct gave him
five to one.
In majority of precincts, of course,
his lead is smaller than this, but the
returns received are sufficient to indi-
cate his nomination by a handsome
plurality.

On Export Trade.

STABILITY of giving freer hand in
the matter Of coEsbined and concerted
effort to u ogc who shall undertake
the essential enterprise of building up
our export trade. That enterprise will
presently, will Immediately assume,
has indeed already assumed, magni-
tude unprecedented in our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for its prosecution; it is
deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create a basis of undoubted law
for it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape us
if we hesitate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law Of
Porto Rico is brief and conclusive
The present laws governing the island
and regulating the rights and privi-
| lleges of its people are not just. We
have created expectations of extended
privilege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
OF the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption
of the pending measure would happily
remove. We do not doubt what we
I wish to do in any essential particular
We ought to do it at once.

as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Congress:
In fulfilling at this time the duty
laid upon me by the Constitution Of
communicating to you from time to
time Information of the state of the
Union and recommending to your con-
sideration such Legislative measures
as may be judged necessary and ex-
pedient ] shall continue the practice,
which I hope has been acceptable to
you, of leaving to the reports of the
several heads of the executive depart
ments the elaboration Of the detailed
needs of the public service and con-
fine myself to those matters of more
general public policy with which it
seems necessary and feasible to deal
at the present session of the Congress.
realize the limitations Of time un-
der which you will necessarily act at
this session and shall make my sug-
gestions as few as possible; but there
were some things left undone at the
last session which there will now be
time to complete and which it seems
necessary in the interest of the pub.
! lie to do at once.
In the first place, it seems to me
i imperatively necessary that the earl.
lest possible consideration and action
should be accorded the remaining
measures of the program of settlement
and regulation which l had occasion
to recommend to you at the close OF
your last session in view Of the public
dangers disclosed by the unaccommo
dated difficulties which then existed
and which still unhappily continue to
exist, between the railroads of the
country and their locomotive engi
neers, conductors and trainmen.
What He Recommended.
l then recommended:
First, immediate provision for the
enlargement and administrative reor
ganization of the Interstate Commerce
Commission along the lines embodied
in the bill recently passed by the
House of Representatives and now
awaiting action by the Senate; in or
der that the commission may be en-
abled to deal with the many great and
various duties now devolving upon il
with a promptness and thoroughnes'
which are, with its present constitu
tion and means of action, practically
impossible.
Second, the establishment of al
eight-hour day as the legal basis alik,
of work and Of wages in the employ
ment of all railway employees who arr
actually engaged in the work OF oper
ating trains in interstate transporta
! tion.
J Third, the authorization of the az
} pointment by the President Of a smal
, body Of men to observe the actual re
} suits in experience of the adoption Q
: the eight.hour day in railway trans
) portation alike for the men and 70
: the railroads.
;, Fourth, explicit approval by the Coz
9 gress of the consideration by the Ii
3 terstate Commerce Commission of a
n increase of freight rates to meet sue
r additional expenditures by the raj
a roads as may have been rendered ne
o essary by the adoption Of the eigh
hour day and which have not been oi
y set by administrative readjustmen
and economies, should the facts di
closed justify the increase.

/ make it, that any man in any occu-
patton should be obliged by law to
continue in an employment which he
desired to leave. To pass a law which
forbade or prevented the individual

ing so would be to adopt new prin
ciple into our jurisprudence which

pared to introduce. But the propose
that the operation of the railways o
