WHAT'S DOING AT
WASHINGTON.
Washington, D. c.,


February %, 1919.
Special to THE ToMAAAwK.
The indications are that the In
dian Appropriation Bill is dead so
far as this session of Congress is
concerned and that it will go over
unit! the special session will be
convened sometime before July l.
In many respects this will be de-
cidedly advantageous to the Chip
pewas of Minnesota. Owing to the
contested condition Of business and
the expiration of the session by
constitutional limitation on March
4, neither the House nor the Sen
ate Committees ON Indian Affairs
had time to go fully into Chippewa
matters. The House Committee
considered only one matter, that of
appropriating $4,000 out of the
trust funds TO defray administra
tive expenses in the Chippewa
country during the fiscal year
commencing July l, 1919. Upon
that item the House Committee
allowed Frank D. Beaulieu, one of
the delegates of the General Coun
Gil, limited time in which to pre-
sent to the Committee the objec-
tons of the Chippewa Indians to-
the use OF their funds for such q
purpose. As result of Mr.. Beaul-
ieu's argument, supplemented by
protests from the Minnesota Dele
CATION in the House, the House
Committee reduced the appropria-
ton to 100000 .;...., When ger. the Bill
went GU the floor the Minnesota
Delegation, nnder the leadership
OF Congressman Ellsworth, struck
the entire item from the Bill. On

MY dear Sir:
/ have before me your letter of
January Goth, in regard 10 the two
matters affecting the Chippewa In
dams Of Minnesota which you sug-
gest are pending before this o.cice.
and ask that they be disposed of
in time to enable legislation to be
presented to this Congress, if
necessary.
The first, that relating to the en-
rolIment and distributive shares Of
new horn children, which was sub
mitted TO ME for an opinion some
time ago, has been acted on, so far
as am concerned.
The other matter, that relating
70 the swamp and overfowed lands
within the area coded oy the In
dams to the United States, l am
not familiar with, out l have in
quirn about it and gather that it
is awaiting some showing by or
adjustment with the State of Min
nesoH.
Very truly yours,

The contract entered into with
the International Lumber Com.
pany, if 1t provides what \the In
dian Bureau officials told the Com
mittee it did, is in violation Of the
act of May Is, 1916. The Indian
Bureau officials admitted that all
merchantabld timber within the
areas cut over was being cut under
the contract. The act Of May Is,
1916 (39 Stat, 1870. provides:
THAT said forest shall be adj
ministered by the Secretary Of the
Interior in accordance with the
principles Of scientific forestry,
with a view TO the production Of
successive timber crops therein,
and he is hereby authorized to sell
and manufacture ONLY such
sanding and growing pine and oak
timber as is mature and has ceased
to grow, and he is also authorized
GO sell and manufacture from time
to time such other mature and
marketable timber as he may deem
advlsable.'' T.. -,
twill be observed that the pur-
pose of this act was to maintain q
permanent forest, as Senator. Mel.
son told the Committee. The first
authorization given the Secretary
was to sell end manufacture only
such standing and growing pine
and oak timber as is mature and
has ceased to grow, thus placing
an absolute limitation and limiting
the authority to cut and sell only
mature timber that has ceased to
grow. Then follows this provision:
land he is also authorized to
sell and manufacture from time to
time suc,. other mature and mar
ketable timber as he may deem
advisable 49,.
The words mature and market.
able'' should be read III the light
of the purposes for which the for
est was created, viz :
I'm accordance with the principles
of scientific forestry, with vie"
to the production of successive
timber crous thereon.
If the contract is, as the Indian
Bureau officials represented it to
be, it is a violation OF law and the
contract should I've produced and
examined and if in violation of
law it should be. cancelled.
\ The act of May 18, 1915, furth-
er provided: .
THAT no contract shall be made
fir the establishment Of any mill,
or to carry on any logging or
numbering operations which shall
constitute charge upon the pro-
ceeds of the timber, until am esti-
mate of the costs thereof shall have
first been submitted to and APP
proved BY Congress-" 80,
, No estimate has ever been sub
mitted to Congress for the estab-
lishment of mill, as the law d.
reefs. Under the general authority
contained in the general language
used in the provisions contained in
the appropriation bills last year
appropriating $50, 900 for logging
and numbering operations, the De-
par,ment claims authority for es-
Establishments and maintenance of
this mill. It should be abolished
and the logs sold.
The Committee was told by Mr..
Merritt that the entire, that is the
GROSS RECEIPTS Of the mill
and the sale of timber were de-
posited in the Treasury of the
United States; that this was made
mandatory by the Act of May Is,

II find myself almost unable to ex-
plain this remarkable man." District
Attorney Lewis said, after Handy had
been arralgned. "He is at once the
handsomest and most desperate man
to come to my attention in my tenure
of office. He is undoubtedly college
man. He gives every mark of Unborn
culture and refinement. He was not
sullen at our interview and seemed to
enjoy matching his wits with mine.
"In his confession, he said he did
everything to allay the fears of women
who were in the bank at the time of
the robbery. He said he told them not
to be frightened, that moving picture
was being made. He told me that
while in the neighborhood of the bank
he had dropped in to have a bill
changed. The layout was so inviting
that he tore up a bill and returned for
a whole one, again taking in the details
Of the place.
COmrade in Alaska
He told me he came to Brooklyn
with $50 on the day of the robbery
and murder and left with $4,000. He
admitted having obtained the money
at bank Then | asked about the
two men shot, and he finally came
through with the confession, saying he
did not learn for sometime that the
men, Dewitt G. Peal and Henry w.
Ccons, had been killed. He character
lied his partner as a 'greenhorn' and
petty larceny thief but would give
no further information concerning
him, save that he thought he was in
Alaska now.
Handy was amused over the signif-
canoe of the number thirteen in rela-
ton to his crime. He signed his con-
fession to-day, Friday, the 18th; the
bank was robbed on December 13,
which also fell on Friday; he said
the East Brooklyn was the thirteenth
bank he had robbed. He rode in
Patrol Wagon No. 49,"
According to Mr.. Lewis, Handy said
that he had shipped aboard an oil
tanker as an able-bodicd seaman and
had visited France between his first
glimpse of the East Brooklyn bank
and the robbery. Mr. Lewis announced
son.

from the Public Service Commission.
One of them was an order of the COM
mission adopted Monday directing a
hearing on the application of the re-
ceiver Of the New York Municipal Rail-
way for permission to issue $4,000 900
Of receivers certificates.
"lf this money is to come out of the
iveccnt fare the Federal Court had
no right to issue any such permission"
was Controller Craig's comment.
The Mayor nodded his approval.
The other communication informed
the board of the hearing held before
the commission on Monday on the ap-
plication of the Van Brunt Street and
Erie Basin Railroad Company for per-
mission to increase it's fare from three
cents to four cents. This company
maintains little stretch of road in
South Brooklyn.
That's all right" said President
Dcwling, of Manhattan, when Mayor
Hylan and Controller Craig began
conversing in low tones regarding the
communication. "Under their fran-
chise they may charge five cents, and
they are only voluntarily keeping it at
four"

Shoe Man Who Sold
Sandals to Bomber
Sought in New York
Canvass Made
to Trace Identity of Dead
Man; 2 Suspects Arrested
by Philadelphia Officials

The activities of the local authori-
ties in their efforts to identify the man
who was killed in attempting to blow
up the Washington home of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer last week
were centred yesterday in finding the
shop from which the bomber pur-
chased a pair of sandals.
The sandals were worn by the an
archist at the time of the explosion,
and one of them, the only one remain
ing intact, has been identified by
cobbler here who placed rubber heel
on it three weeks ago. All shoe shops
in the greater city are being thoroughly
canvassed in the hope that the dealer
who sold the sandals will be found,
and additional details of the dead
mans identity learned.
Following a report that a series of
outrages were to be directed against
the churches of the city within forty
eight hours, Second Deputy Police
Commissioner Lahey yesterday ordered
guards in uniform and civilian clothes
stationed at the principal church edi-
fees of all denominations. Particularly
heavy forces were placed around Trim
ity Church, St. Patrick's Cathedral and
the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Two bomb suspects were arrested in
Philadelphia. One had in his posses
sion maps of Cleveland, Pittsburgh
and New York. The other had bag
containing 125 steel jacketed dum-dum
cartridges, a quantity of radical lit
erature and two phials of suspicious
liquid.
The men held are Paul Olsen and
John Wintol, both Swedes, who had
been arrested before because of their
radical tendencies. They are declared
to be members of the l. w. w.
William J. Flynn, chief of all the
forces hunting the bombers, returned
last night from his two-day stay in
Washington with several important
clues.
''The public may rest assured that
we have something quite tangible to
work on" was all he would say con-
cerning their nature. 81 do not care

$4,000 Because
Prison Record Is Barred
New Yorker Says Elk Prison
Head Had No Right to Give
Police Information

BUFFALO, June 13.-Because his
name was sent to police officials as
having served a prison term, Albert S.
Moore, public accountant of New
York. has served summons and com
plant in libel action upon James M.
Carter, of this city, former Superin-
tendent of Prisons.
Moore asks $4,000 damages. Mr..
Carter said tonight that Moore had
served a term of about five years in
Sing Sing for forgery. The report
bearing his name went out to police
officials with hundreds of others in the
regular course of department routine,
according to Mr.. Carter. In his com
plant Moore contends, Mr.. Carter said,
that the Prison Department had no
right to circulate the information that
he had been in prison.
The action is brought in the Supreme
Court in New York City.

Governor to Establish an
Office With the Public
Service Board Here to
''Actively Take a Hand''
,, Big Fight Is Foreseen
States Chief Executive Is
Expected to Open War
on Hearst-Hylan Group

- Announcement was made from AL
bany yesterday that Governor Smith
would establish an Office with the Pub
; lie Service Commission III this city,
which he would visit weekly "and ac-
lively take a hand in the solution of
. the great problems of public safety and
convenience now confronting that com
= mission"
. The announcement, made by the
, Democratic State Committee, was taken
by local politicians as indicating where
: the Governor would stand in the event
strained relations between Public Ser
vice Commissioner Nixon and Mayor
. Hylan should assum, the proportions
of a real row.
! The clash between the Mayor and
. Commissioner Nixon followed state
ments by the latter in which he advo-
Gated an increase of fares on street.
. venting more roads from going into
the hands of receivers and to protect
che taxpayers of the city, who will, it
|, is said. have to foot any deficiencies in
: earnings of the roads operating under
the dual subway contracts.
The Mayor Immediately issued
statement saying he was against any
increase in fares, although some time
: ago he proposed two-cent increase as
. an inducement to the company to sell
its property to the city.
Politicians regard the differences be-
: tween the Mayor and Commissioner
. Nixon as certain to result in bringing
into the open big political fight
which has been simmering for some
. time.
On one side will be lined up Mayor
Hylan and William Randolph Hearst
and their followers and on the other
the Governor and those of his party
who cannot endure the thought of
Hearsts attempting to return to politi-
cal power.
Hearst, for several weeks, following
the failure of his lieutenants to per-
5 srAde Governor Smith to appoint
Hearst men to the Supreme Court has
been assailing the Governor. And at
no time since the Governors election
has there been any love lost between
him and the Mayor. 1t is common
knowledge in political circles that the
Mayor dislikes the Governor, a dislike
that was born two years ago, when the
two were rivals for the Mayoralty
nomination.
