BY LIGHT OF OFMAGIC 4 MAGIC LANTERN
Rich Curios of ofa v a Syracuse Clergyman
Ruined by Three Youthful
Vandals
SYRACUSE Feb 6 GRare Rare relics from
the Holy Hoh Land and what is said to have
i il l been the t he finest collection of antique
coins in the country count were stolen from
a lonely lone house hoiisebere here in which they were
stored by their theirowner owner the Rev Jere ¬
miah niiahZimn Zimmerman erman a Lutheran preachr
of means mJanwhohas rneaii who has spent spentmal1 many years ears
between this city cit and Palestine
The robbery robbel was committed by three
lads Inc h hnone none of whom is istwent twenty years old
who worked by the lig light ht of a magic lan ¬
S tern and went about the crime in such
a leisurely leisurel fashion that they spent three t11re
successive nights in 1nthe11ouse the house without
detection dt > tecUon
One On of them the11Nicl1olas Nicholas iclioIas Cook seven ¬
teen years years old was arrested in Roches Ro c11es ¬
ter when he tried to sell se I seventy s venty of the
valuable coins oin5 at atpriccsfar pricesfar below their th ir
worth He was held on on suspicion and
the police say sa made a confession impli ¬
cating two other o tlie ther i young OUlig men of f this
place who have been taken taken into cus ¬
tody
Des troyed China
The threo thre thr bojT b boy s not only looted ootei1 the
house of ofever everything thing they could carry c ariT
away which they thought they could
st sdl t 11 but they th destroyed destrq ed Florentine
china chIna Egyptian pottery lotteryand and jars j r s and
other art treasures from Jerusalem
brutally as if they had a special grudge
against the divine They hacked with
knives rich m ihogany hogany furniture smash ¬
ed stained glass windows and tore out
all the lead pipe pipein In In the house selling it
to junk dealers Carpets from Turkey Turkc
Persian rugs Indian shawls and nd other
gorgeous fabrics were slashed to rib ¬
bons
The Th young eung men apparently threw
themselves headlong into a carnival arnivalof of
destruction which apparently they the en ¬
joyed jo ed so greatly that they th yoverl overlooked > oked
dozens of salable sala le articles of which they
doubtless oubtIesscould could have disposed more eas ea s so ¬ o
fly than the coins Many Xsf the
rarest pieces of money were left behind
by b the vanda andal ls in spite of the time they the
spent on the work S
The Place Remote
The sack of of the house was made easy eas y
for the lads because it was was at a distance
from the preachers pr eachers residence residcnccand and be ¬
sides Dr Zimmerman Zimmerman and his Jc family mny I
w were re out of f town The building was I
used as a private store house by the the I
clergyman and nobody had occas occasion ion to I
visit isit it except when he was was in the th city
Coo Ccoks ks confession It is issa said d runs that
the three thre sot ot into the house through a
window and u groped grQPl gIQPQ < g 1 1hei their jncaav nLA 1X < 1 4 4w1th vwith w1th
1 matches from frornflool fr om floor to floor fi or un tir iilthey til they
stumbled across the magic lantern It
apparently wasnot vas as o J1ot ot until the powerful
rays lighted fheJittle the little museum that the
destructive impulse im puls seized them their
visit originally originalhbeing being for the purpose of f
stealin stealing g the lea lead d pipe pipe
No admiration was awakened in the
youths minds by b the s ight of the beau ¬
tiful ifu1 objects Obj eCls Dr Zimmerman had spent
years efuS in collecting They fingered the I
rich rugs carelessly as they would
handle ingrain carpets and tossed the
precious pottery about like common
kitchen ware One of them in horse hor c ¬
play threw a costly vase at the wall
and when it shivered to flinders the act
incited the others to worse worse mischief
They The j did not rest until the last bits
of ofchlhnand china and glass were broken They The
then took out their pocketknives and
set to work on the furniture When
that Was chopped and nicked until it
was a5 ready fpr for the junk junkheap heap the they y turn ¬
ed their thei attention to the carpets and
completed the work of destruction
On the Third Night
All that was was not done in one visit
It was not until the third night that
the young men did the last of o their
smashing and slashing Then they ran
across the coins and whereas they were
too ignorant to have an n idea ideaor of their th ir
value the fact that they were money
appealed to them Filling their pock ¬
ets with the output of the mints of
i the Caesars the the Pharaohs and the
Babylonian Bab lonian Kings they shouldered the
lead pipe and slipped out of the house
Coins that might have been used sed in
paying tribute to Belshazzar Irregular irr gular
discs Antony might bave scattered in
largess larg ss among Cleopatras women w men flat
pieces pie s of metal that thatunce once perhaps
passed from Roman oman coders coers to f he war 301
chests of Hun or Visigoth jingled with
modern coppers and nickels In the pock
4 ets of the trio as they hastened away
from the lonely spot pot Jo to turn their booty boot
into legal tender
Slight consolation awaits Dr Zimmer
man in that many of the coins sold in
Rochester the police think will be re ¬
covered and that part of his whole col ¬
lection 1eUoncBcaped escaped discovery by tie youth ¬
ful burglars But he has lost more than
the th three could repay if they spent the
rest of their lives In honest work workwhich which
the detectives say sa they are not likely
to do save under State direction directionS S for
several years ears

Indian Agent Brosius Ex ¬

USE OF FUNDS HIS THEME
Says Catholic Indians Get More Than U UI I
S Their Share ShareFund Fund Should
Be Public
To the EdItor or The Times
The Th letter of the President t addressed d
to the Secretary of the Interior Interioron on the the
3d 3 instant lnst nt in whic h reference ref rencc is made
to the contracts entered into between
the Government and certa certain in sectarian 8ect r1an
bodies providing for the use 1 s or of Indian
trust funds for support of contract
i schools among the tI e Indians and andstatin stating g
that tha t
The practice will oe continued S by the
department der 1rtment unless Congress CongressshouJd should de d ¬
cree to the contrary or of o course un ¬
less the courts should shouldd s decide cide that the
decision of the Department of Justice Jus tie is
erroneous
raises some pertinent questions quesUons2ndcon S and con
ditioiis of which the public should be
apprised e S
It has already been shown that the
Indians wishes have l1avcnot not been respected
in this use of tribal funds
At Pine Ridge Agency
Taking Pine Ridge Agency SQuth South Da ¬
kota as an example One hundred d dancl and
s ixtyfive persons within that reserva
tion of Sioux reques requested ted that their funds
be used for support of the Roman Ro nanCath Cath ¬
olic schools so far as reported 641 mem ¬
bers of the tribe have entered entere their pro ¬
test against this use of their money
stating that they were not Roman Cath ¬
olics The rIie request of the 16fi 1G persons
vas not binding upon the trlb tribe for
I
many man reasons among which are the
fact that no counc cil il was called so that I
the he question qU Stioncou could ld be Q properly prope rly presented pre8en ted
I and anclconsidered considered by the tribe but a small
minority of the members 105 165 signed I
the t he petition and the Instrument lnstr urn cnt itself
I
was not properly authenticated thus
rendering this request of the Indians
without vltho t lega 1 ega l l fore force eo or re reo effect ffect the a ab above bove Oe I
being regulations of the Indian office
The great Sioux nation nationb o by the agree
inent tm > nt of 1SS9 Is is guaranteed guaranteed1WOOOan 150000 an ¬
nual interest upon a aprin principal ipal fund of
2000000 to be placed to its credit in the I I3WOeW
Treasury of the United Unlt d States This
fund was appcrtionci amongthe various
bands of Sioux participating in the
agreement of 18S3 the contract being I Iagreement
that onehalf 575000 of the thetmnua1 annual In ¬
terest shall be available for expenditure
bv b the Government for CoreducaUonal educational pur ¬
poses p ses The share of the Pine Ridge In ¬
dians annually due for school purposes
from this interest is approximately <
23000 upon the basis of the census
given in the report of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs for 1893 which is about I
the time the funds were erecllvided divided The
Pinp Ridge band of Sioux has increased
somewhat during the past ten en years so
that the census of 1903 shows a member ¬
ship of 7177 souls including In ludII1g4a 46o 46 > living
With vith the Cheytnn CheYtnns s in Montana
A Question of Pro Rata
From this we we find that the bepro pro rata
share due each member is S25 25 from this
I fund und availa available ble for support of f schools
but if the th more liberal allowance of 350 35
per capita is made the 200 pupils no now >
contracted for at Holy HobRosary Rosary Roman
Catholic school would be entitled d dto to
700 OO as provided by b the contract for
this school for the present fiscal year
The contract is on the basis of 103 per
pupil upH instead of 325 the share to which
each person is entitled out of the trust
fund of the tribe
By like reasoning we find that taking takin g
an average of 350 per capita available
Jor for school support the 515 15 Sioux chil ¬
dren ren stated as enrolled < llrOlled at Pine Ridge RidgeI I I
I Rosebud and Crow Cn Creek Roman Cath ¬
olic schools would be entitled to but
1803 under existing contracts whereby whereb
the Government agrees to pay payout out of
1 Indian trust funds due these Indians
the sum of 55620 being an excess pay ¬
ment from their trust funds of 53817
for the present year
I The rheIro pro rata share of oC 5350 L50 50 is approxi
matelv the sum eac each h Sioux Indian would
I Ihe be entitled to under the Presidents or ¬
I der to the Secretary The balance of
the appropriations for the Sioux SIO ux seem
not to be guaranteed by treaty being
I appropriated d at the will of Congress un ¬
til such time as the Indians become
selfsupporting any unexpended bal ¬
ances reverting to the Government such
balances in the case of trust funds are
I required to be expended for the bene ¬
fit of the tribe and the reappropria ¬
tion of the latter class of funds is com
I pulsory
It is plain therefore that Congress
should define that those appropriations
which are discretionary shall be deemed
I public funds of the United States so
that they will fall within the prohibitory
clause of ex existing isting law If this is not
done the opportunity will remain open
to use this class of funds for or support
of sectarian schools and through In ¬
I fluences t uences of the church prolong the time
I indefinitely inrll nitcIy that such apprOpriations appr prlatonq
shall hall be discontinued on the ground that
the Indians are selfsupporting Such
authority existing n the Executive to ¬
tally defeats the object of the th statute
denying the use UI > of public funds for sec ¬
tarian schools
Cheyennes and Quapaws
The appropriations for the support or
the Northern Cheyennes Che = cnncs and the Qua
paws are even more directly if pos ¬
sible public funds The appropriation
for the Quapaws contains this proviso
That the President Pr < sident of the United
States shall certify the same to be for
the best Interests of the Indians
Under Un er existing conditions It is not
unreasonable to believe that the Presi ¬
dent will conclude the appropriation is
for the best interests of the Indians
and after so deciding dec1 ing turn a portion
or all the funds over to sectarian
schools as has been done for the pres ¬
ent fiscal year car
All unexpended balances of appropria ¬
tions for the Quapaws Northern Choy
ennes and Sioux excepting the 150000
interest upon the trust fund of the
Sioux are covered Into the Treasury and
become public funds The Quapaws
appropriation reverted to the Treasury
at the th thend end of the fiscal year in two or
more UlOl > instances and has HOt been b < en re
appropriated showing that it Is a pure
gratuity from from the Government
The President in his letter referred
to to states that
It is greatly to be desired that the
bill introduced by b Representative Lacey
and providing for permission to allot
these annuities In several EtVeraJty ty to the In ¬
dians exactly exactl as is now done with land
should be enacted into law
Urged by Indians Friends
Such legislation has been urged by
friends of the Indians for several years ears
The tribal ownership in common is thus
transferred to the individuals so that
there is the increased Incentive for se ¬
curing a competence for the benefit of
the allottee of the fund and his heirs
Since it has been b cn shown hown that the ac
tion of the Executive Execu tive Department has
been grossly inequitable to a great ma ¬
jority of the members of the various
tribes in making the contracts so fur u re ¬
ported for sectarian schools there
should be urgent appeals to Con

Declares That Davis Himself Scored
Him for Shackling Him IIimWhen When
a Prisoner
RICHMOND R1CHIOID Va FebGThe Feb 6 CThe cIiRev Rev
Dr J Williams Jones Jon esc chaplain h a p laip of the t1 e
I United Confederate Veterans has isi is
sued a statement challenging g General Gcn raJ
Miles explanation explanationaboutplaclng about placing irons
on Jefferson Davis when w h n he was was a pris ¬
oner at Fort Monroe Monr e S
Dr Jones expresses amazement at
General GcnerallIHes Miles statement that tha t he was
ordered to manacle Jefferson Davis He
points out the th fact th that t General Miles
was never ordered to do this but mere mer ¬
ly to do so in the event is was deemed
necessary
Dr Jones JonesalsocaUs also calls attention to the
reproof of General Miles IUes by Secretary Secretary
of War Stanton for putting General
Davis ii irons and ordering him to re ¬
move them
Dr Jones closes his statement thus
I will now briefly introduce one wit ¬
ness whose testimony Is unimpeachable
I mean Mr Ir Davis himself I chanced
to be at a Beauvoir just after he had sent
to the North American Review a paper
on The Treatment of Prisoners dur ¬
ing the war with the States in which
he had a paragraph which scorched d
Nelson A Miles in that severe manner
I of which President Davis was so capa ¬
ble w when hen aroused
I He told me that the editor who was
a friend of Miles had written him that
he could couldnot not publish the paper unless
that paragraph was omitted
Rising from his seat his eyes flash ¬
ing fire and showing more feeling than
I ever saw in him on any other occa ¬
siun he said I wrote back that this
paragraph should not be altered bj b by the
dotting of an i or the crossing crossin 1 of a t
for I was determined to hand down that
miserable brute Miles to immortal Inu ortal in ¬

QPPIIR1AM oununlliAN SCHURMAN QAVQ onio SAYS RiRIC DlDLt BIBLE
IS NOT AN AMAUTHORITY AUTHORITY
Declares Scriptures Do Not Adequately
Set Forth the Truths of Physi ¬
cal Science
ITHACA N Y Feb 6 GPresident President
Schurman spoke before the students of
Cornell University yesterday in Sage
Chapel on Christianity Chritianit of Today
He declared that educated men no
longer look upon the Bible as a text ¬
book of physical science in this tw twet en
tie tieth h century as they had done during
the preceding nineteenth nlncte enth century centur r He
said an educated man who would today
appeal to the Bible as an authority or
any physical pl ic11 subject s < would make him ¬
self an object of ridicule The Bible
he said must be considered only as the
mold of 2000 years ago into which whi h were w re
poured oued the fundamental fUlldam ontal principles of re ¬
ligion
I 1 do not think that there Is a bit of
history in the Bible BIbl he said There
may be material for history but no his ¬
tory tor But although we are thus recoil ¬
ing from the old dogmatisms I believe
that no age since Christs own needs
the teachings of Jesus Christ so much
as our own and no place needs them so s o
much as our scats = of education
Speaking of miracles attributed to
Christ in the Bible President Schurman
said
I IVc We Vc have today our Christian science
and faith cure Who ho can say s a what
great influence inflPen cc Jesus S Christ might not 11othrve
have by natural laws over the bodies
and min minds ds oC men 1
