COUNCIL DEADL0CKs ON CLUBHOUSE
ORDINANCE BY VOTE Of 5 To 5;
CITIZEN SPECTATORS ARE AMAZED
It's the Same Old
Story Over Again
Says Bosenbury

What do you expect a health Of
dcer 10 do with that kind Of a coun-
ell working behind him ?" was DR..
Bosenbury's comment on the vote
last night That ordinance would
give US something 20 work with, but
well, it's the same old story, mon
ey. They sang that song three years
ago when a similar ordinance was
proposed"
Several present at the meeting de
clared that the councilmen who vot-
ed against the ordinance had their
own pOcketbooks in mind. To de-
termine this, each of the dissenting
courcilmen was asked point blank
concerning the matter.
Councilman Duszynski admitted
that he had property which would
mean an expenditure under the ordi-
nance, as did Councilman Wolter
Councilman Miller said he was in
terested" in some such property, al
though he did not own any. Coun-
Gilman Goebel said all OF his prop
erty was properly furnished with
sanitary toilets and sewers. Coun-
Gilman Hagerty said he was not in
terested, either directly or indirect
~. with any property which would
come under the provisions of the
ordinance. although opinions ey.
pressed by several prominent men
differ from the statement OF Mr.
Elagcrty.
Beliefs expressed after the meet
ing last night are to the effect that
one councilman now against the
ordins nee will. change his mind be-
fore the next vote is taken, thus
breaking the tie.

Deaf and Dumb Indian
Maid kStoniSheS Court
Officials With New sign
Language.

The work of Elizabeth Eckley
as interpreter of the deaf and dumb
sign language was the feature and
a source of wonder to the court
officials in the trial of Simon De
nomic, charged with introducing
liquor into Indian territory, at
Superior, Wis.,, last week.
The little girl, a full blooded
Winnebaqo Indian, was interpreter
for her mother who is deaf and
dumb. The mother was placed on
the witness stand to tell what she
knew If the case. Her daughter
was the only one able to talk to
her through a sign language of
their own invention.
Although the system used by the
two bad never been seen before it
appeared to be complete and the
little girl readily translated all
questions of the attorneys and OBJ
tanned answers from her mother.
The trial resulted in tue acquit-
tai of Mr.. Denomie.

A Difference As To Per-
sons.

Recently two prominent young
business men of this reservation,
who are members thereof, were
arrested charged with having
liquor in their possession, taken
a Unite; States commissioner and
bound over. 1t so happened that
these young men are closely re-
lated to one of Supt. Hinton's bit
ter political opponents, and like
wise the opponent of Edmund Bel
land.
1t is time that Chief Special
Officer Larson was called to &C
count for keeping a subordinate
who makes political discrimlna-
tons in securing arrests of per-
sons whom he charges with viola
tons IF the Intercourse Laws.
Within two years two persons
of the same political faith as Supt.
Hinton and Edmund Belland were
caught with whiskey in their pos
session, and while the circum-
stances were the same as those un-
der which it is charged the two
young business men referred to
we're found with liquor in their
possession-and it is not admitted
by them that they did have the
liquor nothing has been done
with regard to the other cases, for
they are prominent in the same
political faith as Hinton and Bel
land.
There is no desire on the part
of TIE ToMAHAwK to have the
two men arrested for introducing
liquor into the prohibited country
simply because the two young
business men of the reservation
were arrested, but it most siren
ously objects to having the officers
who have charge of the matter
making any determinations against
young men who are affiliated with
a party which is politically OPP
posed to the superintendent and
Belland.

Will The Indian Office
Be Reorganized?

Will the opponents of the pres
ent system of the Indian Office be
successful in having it reorganized!
This is the question which is now
being generally discussed by the
Indians throughout the country
according to information. Some
favor the adjustment entirely of
the Indian Office, but majority
of the Indians seem to favor It's
reorganization as trial which IT
it should fail to remedy conditions
might then be abolished.
I There is not an intelligent In
dian throughout the United States
who does not know that the fault
of the bad conditions existing
among the Indians is due more to
superintendent Of reservations
thar to every thing else in the In
dian service combined.
A petition to President Wilson,
which was numerously signed by
Indian delegates that were at
Washington, will be submitted to
him as soon as congress: meets, In
which it is requested that the sup
erintendents and the chief clerks
be taken from the classified SER
vice. Strong reasons are given III
the petition why this should lie
done.

unpopularity with congress are
nearly all caused by his policy OF

running in a southeasterly direc-
ton for 40 or so miles, thence in a
southwesterly direction and on
through said county to the west
line, distance of from so to 60
miles. Along both lines of railroad
there are a number of splendid
growing towns of easy access from
the heart CT this reservation, any
one Of which would have been a
good and sensible location for the
establishment of an Indian hospl-
tai, if necessary that one be built,
as you will readily see by looking
at the map of the country.
Now, what was done as regards
the other hospital on the Rosebud
Reservation in Todd County? 1t
was also built IS to 40 miles from
the nearest railroad when it might
have been built, if necessary, at
any one Of number of convenient
places upon a railroad easy of ac-
cess and businessliIle, at least, as
to its location. 1t cost about the
same amount as the ole on the
Cheyenne Reservation. They both
stand to-day as a monument to
mismanagement, extreme extraya-
gance, and as examples of the un-
businesslikc methods of handling
the Indians money by the Indian
Office.
Now, let US see how the govern
ment builds hospitals out of Fed
cral appropriations. The maximum
amount that can be used is SIS, 900
for each one. Thus you will 90.
serve that the Indian Office, in the
erection of these two hospitals
alone, built with the Indians
money, has wasted about 500, 900

| do not know. 1t must have been
a mistake. The Indian appropria-
ton bills have always been bad.
They are made for politicians and
for the convenience and up5uild-
ing of the whites; ostensibly for
the benefit OF the Indians, but in
reality for no such purpose.
MFR. President, now allow me to
point out specifically a few of the
matters in my own State, and l
hope that you will answer, at least
in way, the question asked by
the Senator from Montana (MR.
MYERs), whom l am very glad to
answer as best can.
AS an instance, | cite first the
case of two hospitals completed in
my State in 1915 the building of
which Shows an utterly reckless
expenditure of money, a fair ex-
ample Of the unbusinesslike meth
DDS of our Indian system, for
which l do not believe sensible
excuse can be offered. These two
hospitals cost about $4,000, or
$35. 900 each.
One of them is built within the
Rosebud Reservation in Todd
County and the other within the
Cheyenne Reservation in Dewey
County. Keep in mind that these
two hospitals we're erected out of
the Indians funds without their
permission or consent.
The one in Dewey County is
built IS to 40 miles off from a rail-
road. TO reach it one must pass
through rough, broken country.
Yet running through this partlcu
lar reservation is a line of railroad
entering the county on the north,
toward the east side, and extend
ing southwesterly to the west line
thereof. Another railroad enters
the county at about the same place,

Extracts From Speech Of
Hon. {. s. Johnson.
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.

J Mr.. JOHNSON Of South Dako-
ia. Mr.. President, ! wish / had the
power tonight to express fullyand
completely my objections to the
adoption Of this conference report
and my objections to the bill upon
which this conference report is
made. | desire that it be fully un-
derstood at the outset that my
criticism, if it may be called criti-
cism, does not apply to to the prl-
vate Individual but does apply to
the official. My purpose to night
is to discuss this report and bill in
connection with general Indian ap~
preparation bills heretofore passed
by Congress, all emanating largely
from the Indian Bureau.
NV observation has been that for
the past 20 years the Indian ap-
preparation bills have been meas
ures of the worst kind. They have
been about 40 per cent robbery of
the Federal Government and about
40 per cent robbery of the Indians,
so far as relates to real benefits to
the Indians themselves.
Mr.. MYERS. | should like to
ask the senator a question. Can
the senator point out anything that
is robbery either of the Indians or
of the Government? If he can, ]
would like to have him specifically
name the robbery and put his
finger on it.
Mr.. JOHNSON of So. Dakota.
Mr.. President, my time is short
to night and want to deal more
in general way as regards the
real benefit to the Indian of Indian
appropriation bills. If [ went into
specific details on this bill, that
alone would take ten times more
time than is allotted to me. | hope
the senator will realize my pur-
pose.
Mr.. MYERS. just wish to call
the senator's attention to this bill,
because it is now the one under
discussion and it has to be passed
upon.
Mr.. johnson of So. Dakota. Yes;
very we'll, shall cast my vote
against this bill, as | do not think
it any better than the average In
dian appropriation bills that have
become laws for many years. May
| now call the senator's attention
to enc specific appropriation which,
