PATTON, Dentist, 1213 Twelfth St. TJicy Allege That tin; Government Deprived Them of Their Home Without Itcmuiierntion Fought for the Independence of Tcxna AI- Friendly Toward the Whiten. M. J. Buetley, an Indian agent, has been in this city for several weeks endeavoring to effect a settlement of the claims of the Absentee Shawnee Indians. He has made favorable progress in the work and an at torney is now busily engaged in preparing necessary documents to present to the proper officials substantiating the claims made by the tribe. Before Mr. Buetley left the city yesterday for his home he said in regard to the demands of the Shawnees: "The Shawnee Indians were granted land in the present State of Missouri, by the Spanish Government after having been driven from their Eastern homes by the encroachments of the white settlers. About the year 1834, the Government made a treaty with a portion of the tribe by which they'bought from the Indians this reesrva tion, giving them in lieu thereof a small er reservation in the present State of Kan sas. At that time, the tribe numbered 1,200. Of this number 700 were dissatis fied with the treaty and went to the then Province or Texas, while only 500 went to the reservation in Kansas. Those who went to Texas were known from that day as the Absentee Shawnee Indians. "They fought with Texas in their war for independence and served with the Texas troops in the gathering together of and suppressing the wild tribes of that lo cality. They were given by the Govern ment of Texas for their services, a reser vation forty miles square, where they re mained and accumulated considerable property in horses and cattle until about the year 1S58. when they were told by President Sam Houston, of the Texas Re public, that there would soon be a -war and that they had better leave the State and en to the Indian Territory. "They did so, taking with them such of their property as could be readily mov ed. They settled in a part of the Semi nole purchase In Indian Territory, built log houses, and prospered until 18C2, when James Lane went to them with a force of I'nlon troops and told them to move to the State of Kansas within the Federal lines, and to leave behind them their cattle and other property; that thcy would be amply paid for its alue by the Go eminent. "They went near the present site of Wichita, Kans.. and furnished to the Fourteenth Kansas Caalry one company of men and horses. These men enlisted for three years or during the war. and served until its close. Their property left behind was used by the troops or lost and destroyed. At the close of the war they returned to the locality of their former home in Indian Territory and asain built good hewed log houses, plant ed orchards, and became prosperous farm ers. "But in a few years another tribe of In dians was to be located upon this particu lar tract of land occupied by them, and soldiers were sent to remove these Shaw nees. which they did. burning their houses and fences behind them. In 1S72 a commission was appointed to estimate and make report of the value of the prop erly of the Absentee Shawnees lost and destroyed during the civil war. This re port shows property aggregating $467,000. of which the Big Jim Band were the own ers of some $250,000. They never have received any payment for this property, and have reeeicd no annuities from the Government or pay of any kind since they left Missouri in 1S34. They have never been in arms nguinst the whites, and have frequently fought with the whites in their various troubles. "These Indians are now penniless. Their surplus land has been sold and whites are settled all around and among them. They hae always been farmers, are willing to work, and only ask that they be given the material and the opportunity. There are 42 families or them and about 300 members, and no Indians need aid more." The claim of the Absentee Shawnees is now being briefed in complete form by Richard C. Adams, who is empowered to act as attorney to the tribe, and the brief will, it is said, be nresentcd before the Interior Department and the Senate and House Committees on Indian Affairs at an enrlj date. NAILED UP THE PEWS. tlmrt-li .Mcmbcrx Must I'ny Hent or JlDllll. BELOIT. Wis.. March 21. When wor shipers entered St. Thomas' Catholic Church yesterday to attend morning mass they saw a large number of rear pews nailed up with long rough timbers to pre vent their use. Father M. J. Ward had threatened that unless these seats were rented by a cer tain date they would be closed. He had found fault with a large number of his flock who are regular churchgoers, but have refused to rent pews, thus failing to contribute to the church's support. There is some indignation over the mat ter, but the majority of the congregation stand with the pastor. A Freneh Liner MinMiiiir. NEW YORK. March 21. The French Line practically has abandoned hope of hearing that its freighter, the Pauillac, which sailed hence for Bordeaux and Havre, is afloat. She was spoken when six days out by the White Star Liner Ger manic, southwest of Cape Race, and since then nothing has been hear of her. She carried a large cargo shipped by American firms North, East, and West, intended for the Paris Exposition. She was originally the British steamship Sedgemore, and was built at Liverpool in 1891.

Birney Chapter of tlte National Homeopathic Hospital gave a euchre tourney last night at the residence of Senator and Mrs. Cushman K. Davis, when nearly two hundred players competed for the eighteen handsome prizes which were awarded to the victors of the game. Birney Chapter is named in memory of a lady noted for philanthropy in this city for many years, Mrs, Catharine Birney, mother of District Attorney A. A. Birney. The ballroom of Mrs. Wallach's resi dence on I Street was well filled yester day, the fashionable audience being there to hear recitals by Mrs. Waldo Richards and songs by Mr. Francis Rogers, both of whom will appear together again next Friday at 4 30 o'clock, at Corcoran Jlouse, the residence of Senator Depew. Mrs. Richards' share of the programme con sisted of ten numbers, each given with a cleverness that won laughter and applause. Chief among them in popularity were "Picnic Time," by Eugene Field; 'When Maliudy Sings," by Paul Laurence Dun bar, and Kipling's "Absent-Minded Beg gar." Mr. Rogers' splendid baritone was heard in nine solos by such composers as Schumann. Tosti, Bemberg. and Johns. A dais placed at the north end of the great room enabled all to see nicely and a touch of color that contrasted artisti cally with the silver grey gown worn by Mrs. Richards, was offered by a red crepe scarf that draped a table on which stood a vase of white roses. At the back of the platform on either side of the mirror stood the tall vases that are historically unique in that they were the first samples of Chinese ceramic art ever brought to this country from the Flowery Kingdom. They were brought from China by Commodore Perry. Mr. and Mrs. W. Irving Colver celebrat ed their wooden wedding at their home in Hagerstown Monday night.

Tortured by Mooimhinern. RALEIGH, N. C, March 21. Governor Russel has received information of a lynching near Carthage on last Saturday night. George Ritter, colored, was taken from his home by masked men, and, after he had been mutilated, he was shot and swung up to a tree. The masked men in duced Ritter from his home by friendly promises. The general belief is that the negro was tortured and murdered by moon shiners, who sought revenge, because they suspected that he had reported them to Government officials. Several masks and hats have been found near the scene of the crime, and it is believed the culprits will be found. FlNiiitiK Tuk Stuck: In the lee.

Supported to Hnve I, out HN Footing on n UnnCTlnnU-No Imliciitionn of Foul Piny Hiid lleen Detailed an n -Vntchninii for (h Houseboat of the Shiltlmonlnn Institution. Dorris J. Padon, twenty-nine years old, an artilleryman at- the Washington Bar racks, met death by drowning in the Po tomac River at the foot of Eighth Street southwest at an early hour this morning. His body was found at-6:20 o'clock floating near a houseboat used by the Smithsonian Institution. The discovery was made by Henry W. Wagner, of' 337 C Street south west Wagner summoned assistance and after the body was dragged ashore it was sent to the morgue by the police. An examination revealed no marks of vio lence and as there "Was no suspicion of foul play Coroner Carr Issued a certificate of death from accidental drowning. The body was then removed to the Washington Bar racks. It Is probable it will be buried in Arlington. Padon was detailed as a watchman on the Smithsonian Institution houseboat on which is stored valuable Government prop erty including an experimental apparatus for Prof. Langley's flying machines. The boat is moored close to the shore. A nar row gangplank which has a steep descent from the shore to the boat is the only means of access. It is supposed that Pa don while walking the plank lost his foot ing and fell into the river. The time of the accident is supposed to have been six minutes after 1 o'clock as Padon's gold watch stopped at that hour. There were no witnesses to the accident and no one could be found who heard the splash of a body in the water. Padon was last seen at 2 o'clock yester day afternoon by William A. Strieker who is also employed on the boat. It is under stood that the artilleryman in company with a young lady witnessed a performance at one of the theatres last night. Com rades who were also at the theatre, it is said, saw the pair. None knew the name or address of the young woman, but under stood that she was the fiancee of Padon. It is said they were soon to have been mar ried. It is supposed that after Padon ac companied the young lady home he re turned to the boat for the night and in the darkness missed his footing on the gang plank. Padon's home was in Norfolk, Va.. where a brother now lives. The artilleryman had served five years in the Army and would have been honorably discharged today. He surrendered his accoutrements yesterday and put aside his uniform. Tho brother in Norfolk will be notified of the death. Killed liy n Hcrrlefc. LYNCHBURG, Va., March 21.

Lively ZUeeti nfj, at AVhlcli the Action of the District Authorltien In DlHCUMMcd The Fair Sex Well IleprcNcnled nt the GatherlnK A Ileiily to Mr. Moia. The meeting .which was called for last night at the National Rifles Armory by George W. Evans for the supporters of the movement for rescinding the dog muzzling order was well attended. Of the sixty-five peraohs present fifty-five were women. Mr. Evans called the meeting to order and stated Us object. He said it would be cruelty to continue this ordi nance in force during the hot season, and he would like to hear opinions regarding the most effective way of expunging the same from the order books ot the. Dis trict. George A. Hill, of the Naval Observa tory, said there had been a society regu larly organized for the same purpose. which had a full set of officers, and which already had taken steps toward the at tainment of the end in view. "The case Is now in the courts," Mr. Hill continued, "and It would bo best to get together with this regular organization and work with it, and thus strengthen the move ment. There Is no way, however, by which this order can be repealed unless the unconstitutionality of the same be es tablished." To this Mr. Evans replied that the meeting had been called irrespective of any existing organization; that everybody was welcome to it, every citizen and friend of the dog. He stated that a re spectful petition to the District Commis sioners would be of more value and have better results than the method of going from one court to another to antagonize the law- and the authorities. Dennis O'Connor, at thi.3 juncture, mov ed to elect Mr. Evans chairman of tha meeting, and the motion was carried. The chairman then read a statement of the sum of which the dog owners of the District were being " mulcted." He said that Congress appropriated the sum of $37,900 for the "sustenance of the Health Officer, Pouudmaster. and his 'brute catchers. Mr. Evans alleged that "dog owners paid $17,000 tag money and $3,000 I for redeeming impounded dog3, more than half the amount appropriated by Congress for tho support of the Health Department of the District." j Mrs. O' Donahue, a member of the Hu- ' mane Society of the District, said that Lord Pauncefote was responsible for th special order; that he brought his influ ence to bear on the Commissioners. She faid that the dogs 'of the foreign repre sentatives wcro not subject to the order, ' which she styled "a colossal shame." Mr. Hill, of the Naval Observatory, ob jected to this. He claimed that the order ' emanated from the Agricultural Depart- . nient. j . Mrs. Ay.ery,.of Massachusetts, moved that a petition be inserted in The Times re questing the Commissioners to put out of force the obnoxious order, this petition to bo signed by every individual dog owner and to be forwarded to the Commissioners. This motion was carried. ' Dennis O'Connor drew up the following petition which was adapted: "We. the undersigned citizens of the District of Columbia, most respectfuliy petition the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia to rescind the In human and cruel order recently promul gated compelling tho muzzling of all dogs." i The meeting adjourned to reconvene at the call of the chair. The District Commissioners sent yes- i tflrday the following letter to Joseph S. Moss, an employe of the White House, who recently "made complaint to the Commis sioners Tegarding the capture of his dog by the Poundmaster: 'In reply to your letter of March 10 protesting against the capture of your dog found .unmuzzled in the street and request ing that under the circumstances the amount paid by you to redeem the animal from the pound, the Commissioners will state for your information that the 'infa- i mous law' of which you complain is an act of Congress which the Commissioners feel compelled to enforce on account of the ex istence of hydrophobia in the District as certified to by the Secretary of Agriculture. "The Commissioners would also state that where dogs have been found with a muzzle attached to them, although not in the proper position, but evidencing a will ingness on the part of the owner to comply with the law the Poundmaster has been in structed to -return the dogs to the owners if possible, or at least not deal with the cases as if the dogs had no muzzle at tached.
