A fair analysis OF the recent
papers showing an alleged attempt
by Mexican officials to bribe United
States Senators and editors Of vari
Gus publications. and an analysis
OF your testimony before the Sen
ate committee. leads to the in
evitahle conclusion that you are
not only unfair and dishonest. but
that you are entirely without honor.
These articles show, on their
face. q constant attempt to draw
conclusions not justified from the
articles themselves. and to prac.
tice deception upon the American
people.
1t is not necessary to consider
any other evidence in order to
reach the fair conclusion that in
them you are making an attempt
not only to besmirch the character
OF some Of our own officials and
journalists, but that you are trying
to excite an animosity and a hatred
on the, part of our people against
the Mexican government, which, II
your articles and alleged official
documents were true, would newt.
ably lead to war between the two
countries.
Norris Makes Charges
Your attempt to shield yourself
from blame by not publishing the
names of the four Senators and the
editors alleged to be implicated.
when properly analyzed, only shows
the maliciousness OF your attack
and adds to the dishonor OF your
motive. You publish the alleged
official documents with the names
omitted and, at the same time, state
that you stand ready and willing to
deliver the original documents to
any Senate committee that may be
appointed to make an Investigation.
You know that the publication Of
these charges, with the names omit.
ted, must inevitably lead to the
appointment Of an investigating
committee, and that. therefore, the
names which you have concealed
were bound to be published and
that, In fact, the very withholding
of the names added to the curiosity
and to the interest Of an investiga.
tion.
You knew, therefore, to begin
with. that the action you had taken
of the names and you cannot, in
ordinary honesty, shield yourself or
excuse yourself for the failure to
give publicity to the names in the
beginning.
Moreover, If these allegations are
true, there is no reason why the
identity Of the individual Senators
should be suppressed.
Testimony Is Cited
Your testimony shows the reason
why you suppressed them. You
testified in part as follows:
Q.-Did you investigate whether
money had been actually paid to
United States Senators?
A.---No, sir, we didn't.
Q.-Did you go to the Senators
mentioned and ask them?
A.--No. we could not without !
revealing the contents,
Q.-Have you any evidence that
any Senator received any such
money as mentioned here?
A.-No. In fact, / do not be.
lieve they did receive any money.
Q.-Have you ever heard Of
any evidence to sustain such .
charge?
A.--No, I do not believe the
charge.
Odd you consider the liza.
bilities for the libel you might be
subjected to?
Ayes, / guess so.
Q.--You had that liability in
mind when you did not use the
names?
A.-Probably.
If you wanted to be perfectly hon
est with these Senator's. why did you
not state when the articles were pub.
lished that you had no evidence that

LAWYERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Ths
frantic Iast-ditch fight Ruth Brown
and Harry Judd Gray are making
to put on each other fun responsi.
bility for the murder of the
woman's husband, Albert, degener-
ated today into battle of cor
respondence.
Judd wrote a long letter to his
chief Of counsel, Samuel L. Miller
denouncing the whole Snyder de-
fense and particularly discrediting
the mystery man theory of the
murder. advanced by Dana Wallace,
associate OF Edgar F. Hazleton, in
charge Of the Snyder legal forces.
The mystery man was brought
into the case by David Chambers,
who operates a household fixture
store in West Thirty-fifth Street.
Chambers says he has evidence that
Gray conferred with a man in
Amsterdam, N. Y, about the
murder several months before it
was committed.
Any Port in Storm
In answer to these charges, Gray
wrote: "Get busy, If possible, on
this man, David Chambers. His
story should be checked immedi-
ately. That man Wallace is a.
crazy as he is, and the mistaken
idea Of these alibi witnesses that l
was in Amsterdam at that time il
ridiculous. It looks like any old
port in storm and Wallace at the
helm.''
wallace announced that he has
written to Gov. Smith about the
mystery man and will present
affidavits of witnesses in a short
time.
Ruth UnfaithfuI
Mrs. Snyder was true to her
lover. and she did not dominate
him." Wallace said. He was regis
tered at an Amsterdam hotel with
a woman, not his wife and not
Mrs. Snyder, and man, his friend,
Haddon Gray"
Wallace said he wants the gov
ernor to know that. Gray double
crossed Mrs. Snyder, running
around with buns while Ruth was
never unfaithful." He character.
ized Gray as a hypocritical hymn
hummer who had a score Of sweet
hearts.
The clemency hearing will be
held before New Year, Gov. Smith
has let it be known, but the date
has not yet been announced.

Increase Is Noted in Most;
Decrease in Boys and
Girls Schools.

The twenty State charitable, edu-
cational and correctional institu-
tions under supervision of the board
of State charities have total en-
rollment of 1876, according to an
nual report of the charities board,
released today.
A total of 1884 of these inmates
are present in the institutions and
1872 others are on parole or tempo
rarily absent.
All the institutions, except the
Evansville State Hospital, report a
slight increase in number of in
mates. AS a general rule, all insti-
tutions have all beds filled and a
long waiting list.
In the schools for the deaf and
blind, the State sanatorium and the
University Hospitals, there is little
change from year to yaer. The Sol
diers' home at Lafayette has fewer
members, but the Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home at Knights
town reports an increase Of sixty
nine.
The prison, reformatory and wom-
ans prison altogether have 1000 in
mates, an increase of 318 over the
same day last year, and the State
farm for midemeanantS at Putnam-
vile, with 1914 prisoners, shows an<
increase of 296 over last year.
Encouraging decrease is shown in
the ranOr.tS 0f tha h0VS' cchOO1 at;

INDIANS LOSING
LIVES RICHES
AT RAPID RATE
Extinction of Race Is Seen in
Few Years Unless Con-
gress Acts.
BY MAX STERN

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-The
last vestiges of Americas first fam
lilies are being swept away, accord
ing to Secretary John Collier Of the
American Indian Defense Associa-
ton. He says he will demand a
congressional investigation of the
condition of the country's wards.
Statistical studies by DR.. Haven
Emerson of Columbia University,
Collier says, indicate that soon the
red men of the West win be as rare
as the cigar store Indian of the
nineties.
Collier declares that in the last
four years the mortality rate among
Indians in thirty-three States has
risen 48 per cent.
Death Rate Higher
The Indiana death rate for tuber-
culosis is six times that for the
white population of the United
States.
More than 2l per cent of
the Indian population, or some
10000 are suffering from trachoma,
which causes blindness, according,
20 DR.. Guthrie, chief of the Indian
Bureaus medical staff.
The Indian estate, held in trust
by the Government, has shrunken
through the last four years at the
rate of four per cent year. Not
counting the ever-mounting reim-
bursable indebtedness against
tribes, the total shrinkage of the
estate has been $122,000,000 in the
four years.
The Indian allotted lands held in
trust have dwindled S68,000,00Q, or
1856 per cent in these years; the
trust moneys 1868 per cent and the
Indian tribal funds 1875 per cent.
Landed area of the Indians has
dwindled from 160,000,OoO acres in
1875 to 72,0O0,000, a shrinkage of 93,-
100000 acres, or Sc per cent.
Projects enriching white men and
charged up against the Indians
have created load of reimbursable
debt totalling $31, 100000.
Overcrowded and insanitary con-
ditions in Indian schools have
caused spread of disease and death
among the young. More than 5000
Navajo children are without any
schooling.
Infant mortality among Indians
under one year is 81 times higher
than the general American death
rate. The total Indian death rate
is double the rate in the general
population.
"The Indians and their civiliza-
ton are rapidly and ruthlessly be-
ing destroyed" said Collier. "There
are approximately 225,OOO Indians
left. Their property. held in trust
by the United States Government.
amounts to about 10000 900.
VIII this all be swept away within
the next few years? It is not too
late for Congress to act"

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 81
Change in date for opening of Con-
gress and Inauguration of the Presi-
dent of the United States was adj
vocated before the American Bar
Association today by Charles S.
Whitman, president of the associa-
ton, in his opening address.
Failure of the Sixty Ninth Con-
gress to enact important appropria-
ton bills, and jeopardizing of
vital public interests through lack
of funds, are regarded as proof of
the desirability of changing the date
Of commencement of sessions of
Congress, and also date of Inaugural
ton Of the President" said Whit
man.
Referring to law reform, President
Whitman said the methods by
which judgments, DEGREES and Or
ders rendered by State and Federal
Courts are enforced in other Federal
districts have been found unequal
to modern requirements.
A fair amount of justice was at
tanned, Whitman said, in passage
of acts increasing, compensation of
chief justice and Federal judges
and associate justices. but it has not
been brought to the level of salaries
of judges of corresponding re-
sponSibility.
g President Whitman's address con-
stituted resume of the years work
as presented by reports of the
various committees. Much has been
accomplished, he said, but the future
presents an unlimited field.
Following his address, reports of
the officers were given. State
delegates met to nominate members
of the General council and to select
nominees for vice presidents and
local council for each State.
