meet us and inquired for the captain
of the train. On being told there was
none, he informed us we would be
obliged to organize before proceeding

stating that he had been chosen by the
train, and signed by all the men.

twenty-three wagons which had camp
ed for the day to rest their stock. AS

June 2. A little before camping
time we came in sight of an Indian
camp. They were Sioux Indians. One
large, savage looking, b~ig-headed In
dian seemed to take the lead. He had
a revolver and sabre. He walked out
into the road with all of the Importance
of a general, and leaning upon his
sabre, ordered us to stop. He made
motions for us not to pass and wanted
Billy to come half way to talk to him.
The other Indians stood a little to one
side. Our team was ahead, and Billy
only took out his gun in sight and pass
ed on.
I'VE hadn't more than got camped
when the Indians came rushing along
to see us. They were friendly and
brought written papers from Fort Lar
annie to that effect. . There was a large
opera glass in the train, for which they
offered three ponies. One of the In
dams begged for some whisky of Billy
Offered him a pony for two quart

HIGHER RAIL RATES
ASKEDFROML. c.
Rising Prices Blamed for
Inability to Earn Fixed
Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A plea that the railroads must in
crease freight rates or fall short OF
earning fixed charges this year was
placed before the Interstate Com
merce Commission today by r. v.
Fletcher, railway attorney.
The carriers seek to increase rates
Sl70,00000O a year.
Fletcher, counsel for the AsSocia-
ton of Railway Executives, said the
railroads merely seek to advance the
price of what they sell when costs
they cannot control make such action
imperative.
due to circumstances over which
they have no CONTROL" Fletcher said,
"the operating expenses OF the rail-
roads have been increased by almost
$500, 100000 annually. Without an
increase in the rate base the railroad
industry this year probably will fall
short of earning fixed charges by
S73 100000. as compared with SINH

"The increase in operating expenses
Is due to combination of increased

Companies operating at net loss

This represents the extent to which
considerably more than half the rail-

FALSE BANK CLAIMS

J.F. T. OConnor, controller Of the

attitude of bank examiners in order
to induce payment of loans.
Investigation of complaints, he said,
had disclosed instances Of banks tell
ing borrowers their loans had been
classed as slow although examiners
had taken no such action.
Where such false statements have

ACTION IS SOUGHT.
Roosevelt Asks Current
Session for Limit on Po-
IitiCaI Lawyers.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt wants anti
lobby legislation enacted at this ses-
sion of Congress that will bar party
officers and members of Congress from
practicing before a Government de-
partment on any monetary matter.
He made his stand known to con-
gressional leaders at a White House
conference yesterday, when two appli-
cations Of the proposed legislation
we're outlined.
First, the members of Congress,
members of national committees and
others in any way related to the Gov
ernment would be barred from this
practice.
Second, provision would be made
for regulations by the departments to
eliminate those people who make a
livelihood on representations Of influ-
ence, which the President regards as
amounting to false pretense.
The congressional proponents Of the
legislation left the White House for
Capitol Hill to call general meeting
to find a composite bill that would
pass at this session Of Congress.
Those who attended the White House
parley included Senators Vanderberg,
Republican of Michigan; Byrnes. Dem
ocrat Of South Carolina; Norris, Re
publican Of Nebraska and King, Demo-
crat Of Utah and Chairman Summers
Of the House judiciary Committee.
The President some time ago made
it publicly known that he expected
Democratic party officers to choose
between practicing before Government
departments ana continuing their
party offices.
The legislation talked over yesterday
would apply to Republican party off,

said, I'VE come to the three bills now
before Congress.
The first is the so-called Robinson
bill, introduced by Senator Robinson
Of Arkansas. This measure would per-
NIT the President of the United States
to set aside refugees for game and fish
in national forests and upon other
public lands with the consent of the
States in which those lands may be
located. These refugees are absolutely
necessary If We are to keep the sup

One was introduced in the House and
the other in the Senate. These twin
measures provide for the co-ordi-
nation of the efforts of the Federal
Government departments that are
working out projects involving the
wild life of the Nation"
He then called attention to the
duck stamp bill, saying it is not a
design for new commemorative
stamp. but one Of far more practical
and real value. The duck stamp bill
provides that all hunters of migratory
birds be compelled to take out a Fed
eral license in the form of one
dollar stamp before their regular
