Senate Committee Uncovers Tim

Washington, April Hr-The senate
committee on Indian affairs has been
out with a muck rake and has uncov

ber operations on the Indian reserva
tion lands in the Lake Superior country.
The operations have been carried on
under technical rules prescribed by law,
but are interpreted and construed by
the interior department in such a man

An examination of the report shows
substantially that the big lumber com
panies have been using the Indians'
own money to buy the timber on the
Indians' lands. Sales from individual
allotments were made to such an extent
that a fund had accumulated to the
amount of $543,625.85. This money is
deposited in various national banks and
held by lumber firms.

It is proposed to insert amendments
in the Indian bill to prevent a continua

TWO TEN-PENNY NAILS
GIVE TOWN GOLD CRAZE
Special to The Journal.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.Percy
village of 200 people five miles from
Morocco, Newton county, has been the
scene or a virulent attack of the gold
fever. In three days five separate min
ing companies were organized and op
tions taken on hundreds of acres of
land for mining purposes.
The excitement began when a drill
which was being sunk in a gravel bed
"brought P particles of shining metal
that were at once pronounced to be
gold by a local jeweler. He pronounced
the particles gold, lighter than Cali
fornia gold in color, but its genuine
ness was certain.
The pump wa stopped and with
drawn and curiosity to see how much
of the precious metal the cylinder con
tained led to taking the pump apart.
Then the secret of the find was dis
closed. Two ten-penny nails had in
some way got into the cylinder, and
these, grinding against the brass, had
cut off the little particles that had
been brought to the surface with the
gravel.
The ieweler immediately revised his
verdict, and the Percy Consolidated
Gold Mining company went out of ex
istence, the options to the thousands of
acres of land not being closed.

DOWIE, STORMING,
DECLARES A WAR
Voliva's "Deft" Meets Rebuke
and Determination of Fight
to Finish.
Journal Speoial Service.
Chicago, April 17.John Alexander
Bowie has declared for war. His de
claration was made late last night
after a two-hour conference with his at
torney, Emil C. Wetten, who had deliv
ered to him Overseer voliva's ultima
tum. This ultimatum was presented at
the conference in the afternoon between
Attorney Jacob Newman and.Judge V.
V. Barnes, representing the insurgents
and Attorney Wetten.
In his final reply to the deposed first
apostle Overseer voliva proposed that a
board of either five or nine members be
agreed upon to take charge of 2ion's
financial affairs. If a board of five,
Voliva was to select three members and
Dowie two. If the managing board
should be made nine, then Voliva was to
name five and Dowie four.
Storms as of Old.
When this "defi" was carried to Eli
jah he stormed as of old and in a few
picturesque sentences paid his respects
to Wilbur Glonn Voliva. The First
Apostle declared that there could be no
peace which contemplated retaining Vo
liva in any capacity. He instructed At
torney Wetten to carry back his reply
to Voliva's attorneys today and to ex
press it in just as forceful language as
he could.
Close friends of Dr. Dowie declare
that the only thing that can prolong ne
gotiations will be the unconditional sur
render of the "rebels" and the restora
tion of "Elijah" to ecclesiastical su
premacy in Zion.
The Voliva forces are equally em
phatic today in declaring that under
no circumstances will they consent to
the reinstatement of Dowie in Zion. If
Dowie stands out for that, they say
then it will be a fight to a finish and
the sooner the better.
INDIAN "RATION"
FOR ALL SCHOOLS
Important Amendment Urged to
Bill Covering Diversion of
Reservation Funds.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, April 17 The question
of diversion of Indian funds, or its
equivalent in rations to mission
schools on the Sioux reservation, is
likely to be discussed at length and
with some heat during the consideration
of an amendment put into the Indian
bill by the senate committee. It is
couched in simple language and does
not require any legal knowledge for
its interpretation. IT reads .as follows:
Mission schools on ah Indian reser
vation may, under rules and regula
tions prescribed by the commissioner of
Indian affairs, receive for such chil
dren duly enrolled therein, the rations
of food and clothing to which said
children would be entitled under
treatv stipulation if such children were
living with their parents
The paragraph replaces the present
law, which was inserted in this vear's
bill, in the house, as it has been for
the past few years, and reads:
That no part of the provisions here
in appropriated for fulfilling treaty
stipulations shall be available or ex
pended unless expended without regard
to the attendance of any beneficiary at
any school other than a government
school.''
Leupp Recommended Change.
Indian Commissioner Leupp is respon
sible for the proposed change. He sug
gested it because of the obscure word
ing of the present law, under which
sectarian schools are drawing the ra
tions of Indian children attending them,
but which has been the object of at
tack since its enactment. It will be
recalled that only last year charges
were made that the Catholic schools on
the Sioux reservation were getting the
best of the distribution.
Commissioner Leupp, discussing the
proposed change in the law, said today.
"This whole question of using the
children's share of the treaty ration
affects the Sioux mostly, as they have
agreements under which the government
is bound to give the younger children
a ration of food and clothing until they
reach an age where they are able to
take care of themselves. Under it, if
an Indian family consists Of a man, his
wife and four children, he draws the
rations of the entire family.
Where Rations Gk
"Supposing three of the children are
of school age, and they are attending
the government school, their rations are
turned over to the school authorities.
Suppose, however, that the school chil
dren did not want to attend the gov
ernment school, or their parents wanted
to send them to a mission school. For
many years the law was construed to
mean that the rations of Children at
tending mission school could be turned
over to such schools to help pay for
their education. Then a ruling was
made by some legal officer that no pay
ment of this kind could be made to any
other than the government schools. In
other words, the sectarian schools could
draw nothing for educating Indian
children. To relieve the situation, the
present obscurely worded law was
passed, in 1904. Under it, the Indian
office has been allotting the rations of
Indian children to sectarian schools at
tended by Indians.
"The working of the law has been
unsatisfactory, however, and to my
mind the proposed change will be in
the interest of a better understanding
of what should be done under the au
thority of congress. It will at least
sanction the attendance of Indian
children at sectarian schools. Most im
portant of all, however, it will give the
Indian children chances for getting an
education. I want to see them given
an education, and don't care whether
they get it in the government schools
or in mission schools, altho, of course, I
would rather see the Indian parents
take advantage of the facilities offered
by the government in the schools for
which large sums have been expended.''

New York, April 17.On her way
back to ftaly today, a pretty 18-yeai-
old Neapolitan girl is sobbing out her
rief on the Florio liner La Goria.
topped on the threshold of the land
of liberty, she was turned back and
saw her affianced husband assassinated
by feudists who had tracked him for
two years. Friendless, she is being
deported, while the body of her lover
lies in the morgue of the Long Island
college hospital.
In the story of the young Italian lass
was today revealed the secret of the
mysterious assassination of a young
Italian in Erie basin early Saturday
morning. The man was Enrici Gilletto
and he has been followed thru two
countries and killed at a moment when
he was trying to smuggle his sweet
heart, Angelina Farinelli, into this
country.
Enrici and Angelina were" lovers in
Naples. But against Gilletto's family
a relentless Vendetta was waged by a
Btiletto-wielding organization.
"Fatal Three" Interview.
A little over a week ago Gilletto
slipped quietly into New York. It is
not known where he came from. But
he was to meet the ship from Naples
that was bringing his Angelina to him.
There came the first of the "fatal
three" untoward events that ended in
death. The girl was stopped by the
surgeon of the marine hospital, who dis
covered that she had a well-developed
case of trachoma.
The girt was ordered deported. Gil
letto was heart-broken at first, but a
daring plan suggested itself. He plot
ted to have Enrici get aboard the ship
and stow away in a dark corner, where
the girl could sjip him enough food to
keep alive on. Getting the girl ashore
was impossible, as she was closely
watched.
The plan worked, and the Lazio
sailed with Gilletto stowed away.
Thursday the ship's shaft broke. Cap
tain Alamzoneri waited for a tow back
to port and arrived in the Erie basin
Friday.
Then it was that Gilletto was com
pelled to leave the ship and his enemies
found him and slashed him to death
with a stiletto.
PALMER STANDS
DP FOR COMPANY
PRESIDENT OF NORTHWESTERN
LIFE BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Its Investments, Says, Have Always
Been Handled to the Best Advantage
Possible'Farm Mortgage Holdings
in Wisconsin Shown to Have Fallen
Off Heavily.
Milwaukee, April 17.Inquiry into
the investments of the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company was
the} principal feature of the examina
tion oy the Wisconsin legislative com
mittee today.
From the tenor of the questions it
was evident that the committee de
sired to bring out the point that a
more general investment in farm mort
gages would yield a larger income to
the company than a policy of making
loans on large metropolitan property
and the holding of large amounts of
railway and municipal bonds.
President Palmer testified that the
bond holdings of the company, both
railway and municipal, municipal being
used aS a general term to include city,
county andschool bonds, were, in round
figures, $80,000,000. The annual in
come of the company, Mr. Palmer de
clared, was 4.74 per cent on all invest
ments, a decrease of 2.15 per cent in
twenty years.
Mr. Palmer emphatically declared
that the investments of the company
were handled to the best advantage
possible both as to safety and returns,
when it was considered that the com
pany had the enormous/sum of $200,-
000,000 to invest.
Figures were produced showing that
the company had decreased its farm
mortgages investments in Wisconsin
I from $1,400,000 in 1896, to about $700,-
000 1905. In some other states,
however, there had been a doubling of
these investments.
The providing of good berths for
relatives of the officials was brought
out in a slight degree when it was
shown that George Markham, a son
of the vice piesident, was at the head
of the Wisconsin mortgage loan depart
ment of the company.
The committee adjourned at 1 o'clock
until tomorrow on account of the funer
al of Secretary C. H.r Watson of the
company.

Spencer's History.
Mrs. Spencer, No. 2, who was Mrs.
Fanny Tpecke, secured a divorce from
pence* about two years ago, after a
somewhat sensational trial. Spencer
then married a French Canadian girl,
whom he shot last evening. He secured
local backing and opened a pretentious
place on East Sixth street. This place
lasted less than a year under his man
agement. Before it w,ent under, there
were differences between Spencer and
wife No. 3, and shortly after the clos
ing of the doors of the latest venture
she attempted to leave the city with
out his knowledge.
He intercepted her at the depot and
there was a row^tbe woman's brother
interfering, and a fist*' fight took place
on the platform. Spencer was placed
under peace bonds the next day, and
shortly afterward weni to Kansas City,
where he is saio\ to have opened an
other restaurant.
His wife went to' Chicago, and learn
ing this Spencer went there and it is
believed attempted to persuade her to
return to him. Failing in this he at
tempted to shoot her on the street
there about five weeks ago.
He was arrested and almost mobbed.
Mrs. Spencer asked the judge to hold
him for twenty-four hours, saying in
that time she could go where he would
not find her. The judge granted her
request, but Spence* at the time said
he would surely find and kill the woman.
She came to Minneapolis and he at
tempted to make good his threat.
Spencer's first wife was a Denver
woman and. less than a year ago she
secured a district court order command
ing Spencer to pay fp the education of
their child.

THREATEN TO LYNCH
Chicago Mobs Attack PoliceOfficer's
Clothes Torn to Shreds.
Journal Speoial Service.
Chicago, April 17.Mob violence,
with attendant lynchings, threatened in
two quarters in Chicago yesterday.
On the West Side it progressed so
far that the intended victim, John
Curiale, accused of attacking a 8-year-
old girl, was badly kicked and beaten,
and an excited crowd of 1,000 per
sons were callings for a rope when the
police appeared and beat them back.
On the South Side the prospect of
its outbreak caused the postponement
of the inquest over the body of Jo
seph Clarett, in the belief that sum
mary vengeance was being planned for
Robert Nelson, positively identified as
one of the slayers, and five other sus
pects in the event they were brought
before the coroner's jury.
Heroic Policeman Stoned.
Curiale's life was saved only with
the greatest difficulty, and in stand
ing between him and nis accusers Lieu
tenant Larkin was the target for many
clubs and stones, and his uniform was
torn to shreds by the attacking party.
Even the rescuing party, consisting
of a wagonload of patrolmen, were
compelled to'club their way in and out
of the mob and were followed, to the
very doors of the station by a jeering,
excited crowd of men and women.
The mob spirit on the South Side was
curbed in its incipiency, and the aven
gers had no opportunity to see the ob
jects of their wrath. When they ap
peared in the vicinity of the morgue,
300 strong, and with reinforcements
near at hand, their mission became
known and the hearing was adjourned
until April 26, to allow sentiment to
subside. After that the crowd was
broken up quietly by the police.

A teacher in. a Terre Haute- publie
school joins in the chorns:
"Teaching is a business which re-
?orce.s
uire a great deal of brain and nerve
Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended, the teacher is ex
hausted before the close of the year.
Many resort to stimulating, tonics for
relief.
"For three tfeart I irtntggledagainst
this almost*'complete* eihatistion, get
ting what relief I could from doctor's
tonics. Then in the spring of 1903 I
had an attack of la grippe^ and malaria
which left me too weak to continue my
work. Medicine failed to give me any
relief, a change of climate failed. I
thought I should never^be able to go
back in school again.
I ate enough food the ordinary
meals, white bread and vegetables) but
was hungry after meals.
"1 happened at thiB time to read an
article giving the experience of another
teacher who nad been helped by Grape
Nuts food. I decided to try Grape
Nuts and cream, as ah experiment. It
was a delightful experience and con
tinues so after a year and a half of
constant use.
"First I noticed that I Wat-not hun
gry after meals.
''In a few davs that tired feeling
left me and I felt fresh and bright
instead of dull and sleepy.
"In three months more than my
usual strength returned, and I had
gained fifteen pounds in Weights
I finished'the year's work without
any kind of tonicswas ot absnt
from duty even half a day.
"Am still in the best of health, with
all who know wondering at the, im
provement.
I tell them all,'TryGrape-Nuts!'

DRY LUMBER
b\ course every dealer tries to sell dry
lumber. But how can you keep lumber dry
if it is not under a shed? And even if it is
sheded, unless the piles are placed high and
on some kind of a waterproof floor, what is
to prevent the rain running in? The "Salzer
Dryers" are scientifically constructed houses
where we keep dry lumber dry. Telephone
or come and see for yourself.
