economic Conditions by increasing the
price Of silver pressed ahead with their
campaign today, reporting that they
were Considerably cheered'' as result
Of their first round-table get-together

age Committee, one of the leading pro-
ponents Of silver legislation, said:
Hes fine man. think we can
work with him"
Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Ne
vada, summoned Western Senators to

whole problem and see whether they
could agree upon one plan. A meeting
soon" Of the Banking Silver Subcom-
mittee was looked for by Senator Adams,
Democrat, of Colorado, its chairman.
The dinner table discussion last night
with the Secretary. silver men felt,
campaign they began with renewed
vigor soon after President Roosevelt in
his inaugural address pledged an "ade-
Cuate" as well as sound currency. The
silver currency they propose. they told
the Secretary, would be sound and sup
ply possible future deficiencies as to
adequacy.
Woodin told the II conferees that he
would study all the bills they discussed.
These range from authority for the
Treasury to purchase specified guam
tity of silver to force its price up to
legislation that would bring the iSsu-
ance of new currency based entirely on
silver purchased with the new paper.
It was indicated by some of the con-
ferees that Woodin felt additional steps
could be taken to better monetary con-
ditions. They said they expected him
to study the many silver proposals, de-
eide which he thought best and present
that to President Roosevelt for his con-
sideration.

Stopped by Tear Gas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, April 6.-Eleven hun
dred unemployment relief demon
strators, en- route to the State capitol
at Springfield, were turned back toward
their homes today by q barrage of
tear gas. Most Of them were from
Chicago.
Eleven Of the demonstrators, includ-
ing Karl Lockner Of Chicago, chair
man Of the unemployed council, were
arrested after fight In quagmire of
mud on q tourist camping ground
where they had spent the night.
TIL police said some Of the unem-
ployed attempted to fight back with
clubs and rocks, but none was injured
seriously.
State Police Cooperate.
Seventy-five State policemen, under
Sergt. James Zickery, and about so
deputies, directed by Sheriff e. j..
Welter, co-operated in stopping the $50
automobiles and trucks in which the
demonstrators had Travelled from Chi
cago and other points.
They were started back toward their
homes in small groups. Sheriffs In all
counties along the way agreed to su-
pervtse their return and conveys of
highway policemen accompanied the
groups.
The motorcade got under way in
Chicago early yesterday with about 600
participants. Nearly as many joined
them before they reached Ottawa.
They Travelled most of the way
through rain, and we're halted by State
policemen and Sheriff Welter at Twin
Hickory Camp last night. They were
allowed to spend the night In the camp
on q promise from Lockner that there
would be no demonstration.
Warned Not to Proceed.
Sheriff Weltner arrived at the camp
early today and informed them they
would not be allowed to proceed.
Lockner was said by Welter to have
defied his order, and the sheriff at
tempted to arrest him. Welter said
he slipped in the mud during q scufae
and Lockner escaped into the crowd.
I'VE gave them another opportunity
to leave peacefully" Welter said, "but
they refused. We then tossed between
20 and IS tear gas bombs among them"
As the bombs burst, the demonstra-
tors ran In every direction. Some Of
them fell and others stumbled over
them. A number of them fled a short
distance down the highway, but re-
turned when the police began assist

of the beer bill itself.
Among those sent back for correction
of errors was the application Of the
National Press Club, on which, accord
ing to members of the board, hardly
anything was right. The club will be
given license No. / when these errors
are corrected.
The Internal Revenue Bureau called
attention of all brewers or whole
sale or retail dealers in the District to
the fact that not only must they pay
the District for their permits, but they
must also pay additional fees to the
Federal Government. Federal fees may
be paid at the local Office Of internal
revenue
The Federal fees are:
Brewers, $1,000: wholesale dealers,
$50, and retail dealers, $40.
Since these fees apply for an entire
fiscal year ending June 80, they will be
reduced as follows:
Brewers, $3.50; wholesalers, $3.50,
and retailers, IS.
The Interanl Revenue Bureau regards
as wholesale dealer one who sells five
gallons or more at single sale, whether
in bulk or single containers. Those
selling less are considered retailers. If
any establishment sells both small and
large amounts 1t must have both a
wholesale and retail license. Penalties
for selling without these licenses are
fines Of s100 to $1,000 and imprison-
ment for 80 days to 3 years.
At noon today a total of 600 appli-
cants had paid cash to the collector
of taxes in the hope Of getting licenses.
After they paid the money they were
given receipts. which they then took
to the Permit Board in an effort to
have their applications approved Where
applications are not approved the
money will be returned to the applicant.
Up to 1890 pm. today only 20 tenn
porary licenses had actually been is
sued. Of these, l3 were ION SALE Ii
censes, six were 'off sale" licenses, and
one was a wholesalers license.
With each temporary license issued
went a warning printed in red ink
which said in part, THE issuance of a
temporary permit in no way assures is
suance of an annual permit, and the
holder of the temporary permit who
expends or contracts to expend sums
of money relying thereon does SO al
his own risk"
The remainder of the notice stated
that temporary permit is issued only
subject to further investigation and i
revocable at the pleasure of the Com
missionerS without hearing or priol
notice.

m ONG ago before the white man
| " reached the land of the In
| dams, there came one wintry day
10 a village Of the Iroquois, an old
man tired, hungry and cold. At the
| irst bark cabin he asked for food
and warmth and was welcomed to
/ the fire In the center Of the lodge.
He saw the cabin was occupied by
a widow with eight children, and
having warmed himself. he decided
to press onward to the next cabin,
| where by chance food would be
more plentiful; but he was re-
strained by the children who plead
ID with him to share their humble
| are.
After the simple meal was over.
de noted the children gathering up
the bits OF meat and fastening them
sn strings OF sinew and collecting
the crumbs of cornbred and crunch
Ing them into little balls. Then
taking the old man by the hand. to-
gether they danced around the FIRE
and fastened outdoors to the border
Of the woods. The boys immedi-
ately scrambled up the trees and
tied the meat-laden strings to the
branches while the little girls
placed the corn balls all around the
foot OF the trees.
The whole group then silently
crept away. and soon the little
furred and feathered children OF
the woodland appeared and ate
their Christmas dinner. The snow
birds offered . CHEEKY song: the
gray squirrel wiggled his little ears !:
and even the old owl winked At the
little Indian boys and girls who re-
membered the Great Spirits chIl-
aren Of the woodland.
