the Classification Bill. We have
agreed upon all the terms of this
bill. The main provisions of this
bill are as follows:
That commission of three be
appointed to classify the Indians
into "ccm petents" and ''incompe.
tents" Those Indians who are
classified as competents will re.
ceive their share of the tribal pro-
perty. The shares of the children
of those enrolled as competents
will be placed to their individual
credit and paid out to the parents
or guardians at the rate of $50 per
year. When the minor becomes
of. age the balance will be paid out
to him. The shares belonging to
those that will be classified as in
competents will remain intact and
such Indians will continue to re.
main under the control Of the In
dian Bureau. As fast as any in
competent becomes copetent he or
she will receive their share. Uqon
the future accumulation of funds,
said funds will be pro rated and
paid out to the petents and
their children.
The incompetents have always
expressed a desire to remain un 1er
the control of the Indian Bureau.
The General Council has for the
last thirteen years made a fight
for segregation of their funds
also. This year, upon the further
request of the representative of
the incompetent element. we
agreed to the terms which l have
just mentioned. This bill is of
great Importance not only to the
Indians but to the entire northern
part of the state. In my opinion
it will mean the turning loose of
nearly Is per cent of the Indians
and payment of their share of the
tribal property to them. .
At the hearing upon the per
capita payment bill the cammittee
wanted it understood that they
would favor no further per capita
payments. The Commissioner
thereupon stated that this would
be the last, provided they would
pass a bill classifying the Indians,
upon which he d'the Indian rep.
resentatives were then working.
He stated that if such a bin was
passed there would be no further
need of per capita payments.
The tip which l have just made
has been the most pleasant and
profitable of any trip / have made
heretofore. The sentiment and
policy of the Department has
changed. Their only desire now
is to have a law enacted which
will enable them to pay off the
competent Indians, and allow them
to take their place amongst the
rest of the citizens of the state,
free and unhampereG by the
Bureau. Mr.. Burke expressed
this sentiment at two different
meetings of the Committee, and ]
believe that it will be enacted into
a law very shortly. .,
Yours very truly, -

Gentlemen:
January 22d L was wired by
the Commissioner of Indian affairs
to come to Washington and appear
January 26, before the suo- com
mittee of Congress who had charge
of Chippewa Indian matters. l
Immediately left fer Warrington.
Monday, the 25th day of Jauu-
ary, We had a conference with Mr..
Burke: The first item taken up
was the per capita payment bill.
Mr.. Burke informed me that he
had already made report upon
this bill, his report being opposed
to q payment, but in case the com
mittee felt that the Indians needed
q payment, that such payment
should not exceed $50. He also
stated that at the hearing he would
not make further opposition, and
that if the committee decided a
payment was necessary he would
then do all in his power to push
the matter as speedily as possible,
for he felt that if the Indians
needed a payment they would need
it now and not in two or three
months.
On Tuesday. the 26th, l ap
peared before the committee and
spoke in favor of the payment.
There were others present who
also spoke in favor of the same,
including congressman Knutson
and Wefaid. The subcommittee
on Thursday, February 4th, favor
ably reported to the full commit
tee a $50 payment. On That same
day the full committee favorably
reported the bill to the House. On
Saturday Knutsop, under unani.
nous consent request, had the bill
passed by the Houte when it was
Immediately sent to the Senate and
referred to the Sentate Indian
Committee. 1t should become a
law soon and pay yment made in
three weeks. So.
Thereafter l, together with
Webster Ballinger, had numerous
conferences with the commissioner
with reference to the Jurisdiction
al Bill and the Classification Bill.
We agreed upon all the terms of
the Jurisdictional Bill, except as
to attorney fees. This matter of
attorney fees was left pending a
report from another committee of
the House, who had the matter of
fixing attorney fees in all such
cases under consideration, and it
was agreed that their report would
be incorporated in our Jurisdic.
tional Bill.
Under the terms of this bill the
Indians will be limited to the pro-
secution of claims arising under or
growing out of the Act of January
IA, 1889, or arising under or
growing out of any subsequent act
of Congress relative to Indian
affairs, which said Indians may
have against the United States
The failure to insert such a limita.

At the following meeting of the
sub committee the Commissioner
reported that he and Indians bad
agreed upon H. r. 17S, which is
the Knutson Jurisdictional Bill,
with the amendments above re
ferred to, This was accepted by
the sub committee 1t is my opin.
ion that there will beno opposition
from any source over this bill, and
that it should become a law in due

MRS, MILLS WOULD BE
 3S TODAY IF LIVING
(Continued from First Page)

There is nothing l will ever for get that is connected with my moth- CTS death. Of course l remember it. They came and tore everything up side down looking in every drawer. through all the books and in every crack and nook. But they didn't find it and l don't know where it went.
 I was very much interested in what Minna Clark would say when she took the stand. I know she means well but still 1 cant believe she told all she knew. I always believe she was jealous Of Dr. Halls love for my mother and I believe that she went to Mrs. Hall time after time to tell her things.
 But she was only asked about the sandwiches that mother made espe- cially for Dr. Hall when they all went on picnic. Mother liked to make them and she knew exactly the kind he liked. l remember my mother saying Mrs. Hall did resent her making the sandwiches,
 And then when the court adjourn ed Minna Clark met me down stairs and extended her sympathy.
 l would rather thtt she told all l believe she knows.
 It seems so strange 10 see on the witness stand people whom you ve known all your life, giving testi- mony that may help q state convict certain other people you know of a horrible murder Sometimes I feel as if I were oppressed by a dreadful dream, one of those nightmares

No Shipping Lost

New London, Nov 17 LP-Com- pleting a survey of the New London area, coast guard officials said today that all shipping in this district which includes all of Long Island Sound. and the open Atlantic from Montauk Point 10 Buzzard's Bay was safe The 100 foot patrol boat Gallatin, attached to the local coast guard base reported by radio phone today that she had ridden out the storm in fine manner some distance at sea off No Mans Land. The boat, which was engaged in picketing a rum ship when storm warnings were received. preferred to stay with her quarry rather than seek shelter in port. and this morning was still cruising alongside of the rum ship. Over 200 telephones were put out of order by the storm in this city. and many sections were without light and power during most of the night.

Whether or not she was as intensely jealous of my mother, as is claimed, I don't know but even if she were, how could anyone carry that feeling to such an extent as she is said to have done. I just don't understand it.
 I feel perfectly miserable as I sit in the courtroom and listen to wit ness after witness tell such conflict ing stories about my mother when I recall that everyone of them were so friendly to her when she was alive, so eager to be in her com pauy. so glad to be known as her friend.
 It's enough to make one ponder deeply over life in general-does 8 person ever make a real friend, will such a friend remain friend through thick and thin-even after death when scandal and gossip taints the memory of the departed?

YALE NEWS SUGGESTS THAT CITY
 ELIMINATE PART OF ELM STREET
Feels That University Would Be Benefited By Secuson
 From Discomforts of Business Noises

New Haven, Conn, Nov. ITO obtain peace and seclusion" for Yal, men, the Yale Daily News to- day suggests a plan whereby Elm street, one of the city's principal highways leading from the business section would be eliminated for two blocks where it runs through the heart of the university. A tunnel from below College street to York street, sending all of the traffic be- low the surface and leaving Yale free from the discomforts of New Ravens noisest street and most congested avenue" is the method offered.
 Elm street, the News holds, Is an obstacle to Yale as it ''disturbs the campus life and holds an ever more impending threat of mortal injury to university pedestrians who continually cross and recross the trafficked way"
 If some excuse could be found to remove this line of demarcation,

where you want 10 cry out. do something. but can't.
 I can hardly realize at times that this trial is of such real importance 10 me, that all those serious-faced officials and lawyers and those peo- pie on the witness stand and in the defendants box are all playing ma lor roles in a serious drama.
 When Mrs. Clark took the stand I thought Of all that. It didn't seem possible that she could be involved in so horrible a manner as has been charged. Why, she used 10 come over to our house so often and was so very nice 10 me.
 Still in spite of her great friendli- ness my mother always believed she was insaneiy jealous of her-jealous Of the attention of Dr. Hall and of the important part my mother used to play in all church affairs.
 It was almost pitiful-the interest Minna Clark took in church work. She wasn't a member of the choir but she taught Sunday school and helped out at the parties and church affairs and made herself generally useful. My mother always said she was an excellent church worker.
 l remember one time without con- sulting anybody, Mrs. Clark went out by herself and collected an unusual ly large amout for the Christmas festival that was to be held shortly Dr. Hall was surprised and delighted, although he was somewhat disturbed l remember because she hadn't con- suited him first.
 But when the minister and my mother later went out to collect for the usual church expenses, they were greatly disturbed when they were told by everyone they ap- preached that they had already given their share in their contribu- tions to Minna Clark. Dr. Hall felt terribly upset about it and when he told her she was just as upset. Of course, she meant well.
 If it is true that she reported the actions of my mother and Dr. Hall 10 Mrs, Hall. as she is said to have done, perhaps she thought she was doing right.
 Minna Clark has always consider ed herself a righteous woman and her mission in life she always said was to do good to others. Perhaps, in spying on my mother and Dr. Hall she thought she was fulfilling some heavenly mission, but l have my own opinion,
 Still, it's hard to picture in such l role a person you know so well. It seems only yesterday that Minna lark was so busy, hustling about 1n church work. dropping into the 1ouse and inviting me to come over o her house-she was going to bake a cake and going out of her way always to be so nice-so nice!

which separates the college from tn rest of the university. the News continues, Yale would benefit more than by gift of the lecture hall, li- brary, hockey rink, theater and all the new dormitories.
 The News agrees that a city does not provide the best atmosphere for a college or university but admits that there is no longer any possbil- ity of removing the university to any rural location.
 Anything which can be done, v the News says ''to remove the in terference of the town with the gown should not be overlooked. If Elm street were taken up. Yale would -irtually be moved out of the city We would then live within our own walls. Other streets and corners are nuisances at times. but they do not divide Yale and carry a veritable traffickine canal through the middle of the university as Elm street does.'

Waterbury and Bridgeport

Waterbury, Nov. IT LP,-Tropical winds attaining a 50 mile an hour velocity at about six o'clock last night. and accompanied by a deluge which wrecked telephone service and crippled power facilities, caused heavy damage here and in suburbs. A freak gust lifted a 55 foot long shed belonging to Thomas A. Dono- hue of 26 Magill street, several feet in the air and carried it across a six foot fence into the yard of a neighbor where the frame work col lapsed. Loss was estimated at more than S1,000. The wooden structure was used formerly by the city as a stable for it's public service wagons.
 A large gilded cross from the steeple of the Immaculate Concep- ton church was hurled to the yard yard and portion of the roof of St. Johns Episcopal church was blown off.
 Many fallen trees were reported and passengers in a Woodbury car narrowly escaped probable injuries when a large tree fell across the trolley tracks, the car was stopped inches from the trunk by the motor man.
 Crews of the Connecticut company and the Telephone service depart ment were working late last night to repair of the damages which, of fcials said, it was impossible to es- innate until complete reports have been made.
 Bridgeport. Nov. IT LP - The steamer Park City. passing through the Stratford avenue bridge here yesterday at the height of the wind storm was tossed against the side of the bridge, where it became wedged fast in the superstructure.
 The services of two towing tugs were required to pull the ship loose. \ signal light on the bridge was broken off by the impact and metal work on the ship and bridge were damaged.

Ben Smith of Shuttle Meadow is credited with shooting the first white Arctic owl to be shot in this part of the state for the past 30 years, according to reports from the old residents of this city. Smith brought down one of the birds yes- terday and upon measuring it found the wing spread to be four feet, two inches. from, tip to tip.

 Somerville, Dec. IT am perfectly miserable. I feel so wretched to think that after all these years of patient waiting, all my hopes for justice seem to have evaporated in the atmosphere of utter indifference and actual hostility created by the jury.
 T was so confident that these 12 men would listen with fairminded attention to the evidence and would render a fair verdict. It was not that I hoped they would favor the conviction of the defendants for murder. I simply trusted they would assume neutral attitude, favorng neither the prosecution nor the defense by absorbing carefully the testimony presented by both sides and then coming to just decision.
 But it seems they have never had such intentions. They haven't acted as jurors are supposed to act. Ac cordng to the affidavits presented
  in court this morning by Senator Simpson In his request that this be called a mistrial. certain men on jury have insisted that regardless of the evidence presented by MT. Simpson, they are determined to vote acquittal. Then too, both my aunt and I have seen several of the jurors actually dozing while i'm portant testimony was being given and early in the trial we saw MT. McCarter, the defense lawyer, talk ing to one of them.
 just worried and worried over all this until my emotions simply overwhelmed me yesterday. l felt as if I were going to pieces. I tried to fight off the feeling but l couldn't I was restless all night but | made up my mind that I simply had to steel myself to this ordeal. l am determined now to hold up until this case is settled one way or the other.
