NEW DEAL COMING
Tribal Relations Among Indians
Must Be Broken Up,
QUARLES TALKS OF HIS TRIP
Ablebodied Must Work for a Liveli
hood—\'e*v l.aml to lie Opened
for Settlement.
Special to The Journal.
Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 8. —United States
Senator Quartet, of Wisconsin, a member
of the Indian commission, visited James
town and in an interview announced that
a new policy would be adopted in regard
to the Indian.
We have been making an Inspection ot the
various Indian agencies of tae uortnwest,
such aa we have time to visit, said the sena
tor, and have studied the Indian question in
all its phases for the information of cou
grtss. We have acted in the padt in the
dark on many ot the questions that affect Uie
Indians and the people of the west, and want
better information for the future. We have
been traveling in all sorts of conveyances,
go:ug on the reservations and seeing the In
dians with our owu eyes, and I think we
will have gathered some valuable Informa
tion. We visited the Red Lake reservation
in northern Minnesota, and find that it con
taliii L'l;;,0*)0 acres of good farm laud that is
not used. This land, as well as that of other
reaurvatlous, should be opened to settlement.
Th» timber also on the Red Uake reservation
is excellent and there Is a great deal of It.
AW propose to establish & sawmill at points
where it Is necessary to cut the piue, and
begiu the work of letting the white people
into ihe country. The sawmill is a liviilzer.
It brings development to the country and
gives the white people a chance to utilize the
MtunU resources of the region which the In
dian under the. present tribal relationship
never will.
The tribal relation is a relic of barbarism
at best. It keeps the Indian in a etate of
dependency xnora than anything else and
teaches him habits of idleness. We purpose
to break it up, aud make the Indian who is
able-bodied earn his living as well as any
one else. I know this will run contrary to
the wishes of the Indian agents and of many
powerful political influences in congress, but
the time is past when these great regions can
be excluded from the rest of the United
Statts and allowed to remain in unproductive
ldleua&s, as the present system of dealing
with the Indians entails.
The Indians on the reservations In the
couth are gettln? into the ways of the white,
man, but the red men of the north are no
nearly so far advanced. There is no progress
under the present system. The reservations
should have been opened long ago, and you
can safely say that rongress is going' to
chango the old poll-.-y and place the Ir.diana
on a different basis. We will take care of
the aged, the weak and the Infirm, but the
able-bodied Indian must do something for a
livlug besides drawing his government ra
tions. We have found that there is no incen
tiva for the Indian to farm or to raise stock
when he will get a living anyhow from the
government whether he works or not. He
has been given cattle by the government and
trailed them for ponies. Other abuses have
been found, and the committee Is now doing
a practical work In actually investigating
these things that sh >uld have been done long
before.
LOOKS LIKE A MURDER
John Connolly Believed to Have
Been Doped mid Robbed.
Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 8. —A Wauwatosa
coroner's jury last night returned a ver
dict that John C. Connolly, who was
found dead on the tracks of the street
railway company near Castalia Park, last
Friday night, came to his death from an
unknown cause. The police suspect that
the man was murdered and then placed
on the tracks in order to divert suspicion j
from those who took his life.
It is believed that robbery prompted the
commission of the crime, as Connolly re
cently disposed of his farm for $12,000,
only depositing J6.000 in the bank. In the
evidence given at the inquest last night,
the motorman and conductor on the car
which ran over 1 the body said that when
they picked Connolly up the body was
cold.
Fr.uik Schortle. a bartender In a sa
loon near the place where the body was
discovered, said that Connolly came Into
the saloon in which he was on watch,
appearing in a disheveled condition, and
took a drink.
Connolly expressed a desire to return
to Milwaukee, and Schortle sent a man
with him to direct his steps, as Connolly
appeared as though he had been doped.
The police are investigating.
CHINAMAN^ G]FT
Helps Establish a Chinese Depart
ment in Columbia College.
New York, Oct. 8. —President Low, of
Columbia college, in his annual report to
the trustees of the college, mentions a
gift of $12,000 from "Dean Lung" to be
added to the gift of $100,000 anonymously
made some time ago to the university for
the establishment of a department of Chi
nese language, literature, religion and
law. "Dean Lung," the report says, is a
Chinaman. It is probable the report adds
that this is the first gift on record from
a Chinaman to a university of western
learning. President Low says that the
donor of the $100,000 had been led to the
belief that an American university would
be the best agency through which to
spread a thorough knowledge of China
among the people of the United States.
Another Cat in New York Rates.
The Chicago Great Western Railway
makes a further reduction in the round

WAR ON BEET SUGAR
Radical Action of American Sugar
Refining Company.
HEAVY SLASH IN PRICE MADE
It Affects Western Markets, Being
Supplemental to -the
Kantern Cut.
San Francisco, Oct. B.—Another aggres
sive move has been made by the American
Sugar Refining company in the campaign
which it has begun against the beet sugar
I industry. The cut in the price of sugar to
all Missouri river points which was an
nounced last week has been followed by a
reduction in the price of beet and cane
I sugar in all states from Colorado to Cali
fornia. The reduction was announced by
the Western Sugar Refining company and
amounts to 30 cents a hundred on beet
sugar and 20 cents a hundred on cane
I sugar. Robert Oxnard, vice president of
the American Beet Sugar Association,
which is opposing the trust, said:
It Is a fact that the Western Sugar Refin
ing company has a reduction of 20 cents per
hundred on its cane sugars and 30 cents per
hundred on its beet sugars. This makes
the difference in the price between cane
granulated and beet granulated 20 points
instead of 10 points, as heretofore. The cut
affects all markets from California to Colo
rado, inclusive. I kuow of no change In
the general sugar situation to account for It.
In order to discriminate further against
beet sugar, the Western Sugar Refining
company, which is allied with the sugar
trust, has announced that it will enter
tain no orders for granulated sugar which
call for over 50 per cent of beet sugar.
The reduction in prices has also affected
Honkong sugar, of which there is a small
supply on this market.
PACIFYING THE SOUTH
KFFELT OF ROOSEVELT'S POLICY
Political Division* in the South on
Racial Lines May Soon
Be Ended.
ffmw York Sun Saoctml Sorvlca
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 8. —Announce-
ment, yesterday of the appointment of
former Governor Jones, a prominent dem
ocrat, to the federal district bench to suc
ceed the late Judge Bruce, has caused the
keanest satisfaction among Alabama
democrats, while it has created consterna
tion in the ranks of the republican ma
chine politicians. Even the latter, how
ever, admit that the appointment, viewed
from tha point of fitness, is a most ex
cellent ane, as Governor Jones is recog
nized by men of all parties as a an of the
highest ordor of ability and unimpeach
able integrity. The appointment is looked
upon in this state as marking a new and
distinct policy regarding southern federal
appointments and the prediction is freely
made by leading democrats that if Presi
dent Roosevelt follows up this course and
at the same time lends no encouragement
to those northern republicans who may
seek to reduce southern congressional
representation because of negro disfran
chisement, his administration will witness
the beginning of the end of political
division in the south on racial lines.
IN SCANT ATTIRE
Hotel Guests Driven Out by an Early
Morning: Fire.
Chicago, Oct. B.—Fire early to-day de
stroyed the McMahon Cracker and Bis
cuit company's factory, at 46-50 Green
i street, causing a loss of $150,000; did $30,
--| 000 damage to Brewer and Hoffman's
| brewery adjoining and drove guests of
I several hotels near by into the street in
their night clothes. The flames started
in the bakery and within five minutes the
whole structure was ablaze. «,
Twenty-seven roomers In a lodging
j house at 52-54 Green street had a narrow
; escape. They had been aroused by a fierce
I fight betwen two lodgers, and seeing the
i fire rushed into the street a few mm
I utes before the south wall of the factory
I toppled over, crushing in the roof of their
1 dwelling place. Guests of the Academy,
j the West End, the Elite and the Spong
•hotels were driven into the street in scan
, ty attire. The firemen soon abandoned
1 their attempt to check the flames fast eat
ing up the cracker plant and confined their
1 efforts to preventing the fire from spread
i ing. In this way they were successful,
I as the hotels and small buildings near the
factory sustained only nominal damages.
"ARBITRARY" AND "TRICKY".
Board of Control Scored by State
Normal Directors.
Duluth, Minn., Oct. 8. —Professor W. F.
i Phelps, resident director of the state nor
■ mal board, takes a fall out of the state
; board of control. He says:
The inference might be drawn from the
published reports of the meeting of the nor
. mal board with the board of control last
i Saturday that the former had practically sur
| rendered to the latter. Nothing could be far
i ther from the truth, and the reports must
' have been inspired by members of the board
of control.
j I have no hesitancy in saying that the
j board of control is not only arbitrary but
j tricky, and Its whole policy seems to be one
) of duplicity. The normal board stands for the
j preservation and up-building of the normal
• schools of the state,and if the board of control
is allowed to have its way it stands for the
ruin of the system.
I don't believe there isa single member of
; the normal board who has faith in the board
of control.
