(Associated Press) COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 12.—Thlrty flvi' out of 140 members of the night police force rebelled 'tonight when called on by Mayor Marshall to bourtT street cars in an effort to catch per sons attacking cars with stones, bricks and bullets. The mutineers. Mayor Marshall an nounced, will be dismissed from tho I nice tomorrow. The mayor called only on regular policemen to assume the duty on cars. One hundred and thirty-seven special policemen, engaged especially for riot duty during the strike, were not drawn on for this service as they were as sl^:icd to places where trouble was expected. Included In the thirty-five mutineers a l' some of the oldest men on the fo.ee. Until today Mayor Marshall had withstood pressure brought to bear by officials of the Columbus Railway & Light company to put officers on cars. City ollitials and members of tho chamber of commerce joined in urg liik the mayor to take this step and he consented, although he said he did not favor the plani^ MAYOR CHANGES POUCV Within a few hours his change of policy became known to the police and there was widespread dissatisfaction. This reached a culmination at roll call this evening. The mayor began to make assignments and those"~ in re bellion stepped out of the ranks. There was little ill feeling expressed, although one policeman took off his coat and asked the mayor to don It and then board a car. As reasons for their mutiny, some said they had been warned by gro cers and butchers that if they rode on cars they would be refused provisions. Others said they had belonged to unions, and others that they might wisli to join at some future time. After having been told they had to obey orders, two officers, who at first rebelled, stepped back into line. The mayor said he would man the fifty cars the company expected to operate tonight.

Sul livan of Illinois, who is in New York, "looking over the ground," is alarmed over the national dearth of Democratic presidential possibilities. "Just as present there seems to be a strange lack of aspirants," he said. "Of course, Ohio Is backing Harmon and New Jersey is grooming Woodrow Wilson for the candidacy. But these are the only two possibilities I have heard suggested, unless it be Senator Bailey of Texas. Bryan, of course, is out of it, though I presume he will try. But I doubt if lie can command the delegates from his state In the next national convention." Mr. Sullivan expressed complete con fidence that the Democrats will con trol the next house of representatives, and, that Champ Clark would be Can non's successor as speaker.

On dragging the river, the canopy top of an automobile was raised last night and today an automobile, iden tified as Rowland's machine, was lift ed from the river bed. The bodies were not recovered.

ALASKAN VOLCANO IS AGAIN IN ERUPTION Ashes Cover Decks of the Steam er Corwin at Sea SEWARD, Alaska, Aug. 12.—The steamer Corwin arrived from Nome today with the report that Mount Shlsaldln, the highest volcanic peak in the Unamik islands, i.s again in eruption. Early in Juty Shisaldin was very active, but after a short time the erupton ceased. Officers of the Corwin say thaty when they passed the island a few days ago the volcano was more active than during the former eruption. A great column of fire shot high into the air and a vast volume of smoke poured from the crater. The snow, which at the time of the previous eruption had not melted far from the crater, has entirely disappeared from the sides of the mountain. Long before the Corbin approached the island she was covered with white volcanic ashes.

J INDIANS FLEECED OUT OF MILLIONS BY LAND AGENTS McMurray and Associates Stood to Realize $5,000,000 Fee from Aborigines $750,000 ALREADY PAID FIRM Investigation of Charges Made by Senator Gore Develops Gigantic Sensation (Associated Press) SULPHUR, Okla., Aug. 12.—Lawyers expense acccrants, running as high as »300,0UU, a single fee already paid amounting to $750,000, and contingent fees still pending that would aggregate about $5,000,000, figured in the investi gation of the Indian land office af fairs by tne special committee ap pointed by the house of representa tives today. It was pointed out that the Indians never had received large amounts of raone.- due them without having to "come [.cross" in the shape of fees, anJ though they employed lawyers on yearly salaries, extra fees were con stantly paid for the employment of special counsel. The special fee of $750,000 was paid several years ago to J. F. Mcjiurray and his law partners after they had prosecuted what are known ..j the citizenship cases, while, it is stated, they kept off the rolls 30, --0/K claimants who wanted to parti cipate in the claims against the gov ernment. By the winning of this suit, it was explained the value of the- property to the Indians who remained on the rolls was enhanced $16,000,000, on a basis of $5000 for each of the 32,000 claimants kept off. The sale of the property and the division of the pro ceeds Is still being fought for by the Indians. This testimony developed in the ex amination of George F. Scott, a Choc taw. Scptt was active in securing signatures for the McMurray contracts to promote the approval of which by congress, Senator Gore charges that May 6 he was offered a bribe of $25, --000 or $50,01.0. McMurray's contracts, Scott testified. If carried out in their entirety would dispose of about $58,000,000 worth of property, which on a 10 per cent "attor ney's fee" basis would result in a net profit to McMurray and his associates of $5,000,000. This fee, according to Senator Gore and members of the com mittee, who interrogated the witnesses, would be paid for services that the gov ernment already had promised to give the Indians without cost. Scott also showed in his testimony that the cost of employing McMurray would be in addition to the $30,000 now paid annually to regular attorneys. Scott's contention was that the attor neys on the regular salary were not as active as contingent fee attorneys. Scott appeared after his name frequent ly hart been mentioned by previous wit nesses. It was he who testified he had sent telegrams to Washington urging the approval of the contracts. He had been working for McMurray with no writ ten or verbal agreement, he said, as to sharing in the foe, and had induced many Indians to sign. He worked In this respect among the Indians despite the opposition of Green McCurtaln, chief of the Chactaws. In one telegram to Richard A. Adams, an attorney at Washington, he referred to Vice President Sherman and Senator Curtis of Kansas as "understanding better than anyone else what the In dians wanted." Questioned as to what he meant by that, Scott said he understood that Mr. Sherman and Senator Curtis long had been familiar with Indian affairs, and he thought they were the ones to be applied to, notwithstanding it had been shown that both Mr. Sherman and Mr. Curtis had protested against the io per cent fee. They thought it too high and unnecessary Before becoming connected with Mc- Murray, Scott was treasurer of the Choctaw nation. A number of Indians testified to hav ing signed telegrams sent to Washing ton approving McMurray's contracts. McMurray also has been at nil the sessions of the investigation. He may be put on the stand within a few days to relate what he knows concerning what inducements, if any, were made to the Indians before they signed the contracts. IDAHO SENATOR STOPS THE PLAYING OF 'DIXIE' Heyburn Declares It Out of Place • at Republican Meeting SPOKANE, Aug. 12.—Senator W. R- Heyburn of Idaho dislikes "Dixie." He created a sensation at tho recep tion given to Congressman T. R. Haraer at Wallace, Idaho, last night by stop ping the orchestra while the musicians were playing tho popular strain. Con gressman Hamer had just finished his address, and the orchestra hail started a medley of well known airs. About the sixth number in the medley was "Dixie." The senator leaped to his feet, strode across to the musicians and cried out: "This is a Republican meeting. We want no such tunes here." The amazed musicians stopped imme diately. The senator strode back to his seat. After a moment of silence Mayor Hanson arose and closed the meeting. 'GLAD TO SEE YOU,' WIRES ABRUZZI TO MISS ELKINS BASLE, Switzerland, Aug. 12.—The duke of the Abruzzi arrived here Au gust 9 from Italy and registered at the Hotel Three Kings as Signor Sorrento. He left Wednesday for Baden Baden, after sending the following telegram to Miss Kutlierine IClkins, who, with her mother, has be.'li passing several months on the continent: "Shall be (lad.to t.ee you. lam ar riving this evening. (Signed) "ABRUZZI." Some Startling Figures Setting Forth Extravagances of District Attorney Expenses of Fredericks' Office Are Shown by Official Records to Have Almost Doubled in Three Years IN its last two issues The Herald has published fac sim iles of claims made out in the district attorney's office in favor of his brother, but not in his brother's full name, so that the beneficiary under the claims could be identified. The Herald knows that the district attorney's brother drew from the county of Los Angeles nearly $500 in this way. The district attorney has taken sufficient notice of the information concerning the management of his office which The Herald has been furnishing the voters of the city to publish what he calls an "explanation" in the two other morning papers of the city. In this "explanation" he claims that his brother, who was "an eminent physician in the east," undertook this work "as a patriotic duty, only asking that, if possible, his name be kept from publication, as he was starting his professional career here at that time and did not want to start it as a detective, even in so worthy a cause." It appears that the district attorney's brother received nearly $500 from the county of Los Angeles within a period of about two months for discharging his "patriotic duty," and it also appears from the district attorney's explanation that he was starting his professional career here at that time as a private detective. If he was able to overcome his repugnance for the work performed to such an extent as to receive the usual reward for it, it is somewhat surprising that he was not also able to overcome that repugnance sufficiently to receive this re ward in the usual way prescribed for the making out of claims against the county. CITIZENS AND VOTERS WILL PROBABLY THINK IT COMES WITH POOR GRACE TO SAY THAT HE WAS PERFECTLY WILLING TO ACCEPT THE USUAL PAY FOR SERVICES WHICH HE WOULD NOT PERMIT HIS NAME TO BE CON NECTED WITH. As for the district attorney's explanation that "Our work would soon end if we did not use some concealment in these matters," a sufficient reply would seem to be that in the detective force of the city of Los Angeles, which is a good deal larger than that of the district attorney's office and has much more important work to do, the chief of polite does not find it necessary to permit his detectives to draw their salaries under assumed names. Amazing Facts Shown by Records But the facts showt\by The Herald will probably appear more significant in the light of certain figures concerning the expense of running the district attorney's office which The Herald has collated. FROM* THE REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY FOR THE SIX MONTHS END ING JUNE 30, 1906, IT APPEARS THAT THE COST OF RUNNING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OF FICE FOR THAT PERIOD WAS $19,008. For the purpose of comparison, we would also call at tention to the fact that the same report shows that the cost of running the 1 nine departments of the superior courts for the same period, including the salaries of nine superior judges, was $22,670.75. The total cost of running the sheriff's office for the same period was $13,234.61. THE AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1909 GIVES THE TOTAL COST OF RUNNING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AS $35,181.54. The total cost of running the TWELVE DEPART MENTS of the superior court is given as $33,191.68. The total cost of running the sheriff's office for the same period is given as $19,341.47. We thus see that while within three years the cost of running the superior courts with the number of su perior judges increased by 33 1-3 per cent, had increased less than 50 per cent, and the total cost of running the sher iff's office had increased less than 50 per cent, THE TOTAL COST OF RUNNING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAD INCREASED MORE THAN 85 PER CENT. Costs More Than 12 Superior Courts FURTHER, THE REMARKABLE FACT IS SHOWN THAT IT COST FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1909, $2000 MORE TO RUN THE DIS TRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE THAN IT DID TO RUN ALL OF THE TWELVE DEPARTMENTS OF THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THIS COUNTY, AND NEARLY DOUBLE WHAT IT COST TO RUN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. One remarkable item of the district attorney's expendi ture for the first halt of 1909 is shown by the auditor's re .port as "Special detectives $7039.43." For running the sheriff's office the auditor's report shows the salary of sher iff.and detectives $15,002. Or, to put it another way, the district attorney's office spent for special detectives almost 50 per. cent as much as was expended by the sheriff's office in the salaries of the sheriff and all of his deputies. In connection with the claims for payment shown for his special detective work we would like to ask the district attorney two questions: First—ls it not true that at the request of Walter Parker he has placed members of Mr. Parker's political machine on his payroll as detectives simply for the purpose of making places for them ? Second —Is it not true that detectives paid by the county money have been employed about his private business? The Herald will gladly publish the answers of the dis trict attorney to these two questions, at the same time re serving the right to publish certain information which it has upon these matters, and which, whether the district attor ney answers the questions or not, it proposes to use in its own good time.

BRISTOW RIDDLES ALDRICH'S REPLY ON RUBBER TRUST Senator Delivers Address at Mil waukee Answering Framer ALL PRICES ARE ADVANCED Shows That Trust Did Not Need Added Duty for Protec tion of Industry MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12.—Senator Jo seph L. Bristow of Kansas, in his speech here tonight, which he stated was in reply to the letter of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, defending himself against the charges of the Kansas sen ator relating to the tariff on rubber, launched into the subject by saying: "Senator Aldrich declares the Inter continental Rubber company is not a trust, and at the same time admits that it is a holding company." Senator Bristow then took up Mr, Aldrich's declaration that neither he nor his family had profited directly nor indirectly by the tariff on manu factured rubber, saying: "Yet he admits he is producing mil lions of pounds of crude rubber per an num, selling it to American manufac turers, and that he increased the duty on their products when they did not need it for protection." Then referring to his own speech at Wintield, Kas., on July 9, Senator Bris tow declared Mr. Aldrich took exception to his remarks on the rubber duty e» pecially. "He ignores the other features of my, speech," Mr. Gristow said. ORGANIZING COMPANIES Going Into the question of organiza tion of the Inter-Continental Rubber company. Senator Bristow quotes from his own speech, saying the Inter-Con tinental Rubber company was organ ized in New Jersey January 29, 1903, and that the Continental Rubber com pany of America was organized in New Jersey January 5, 1906, and further that Mr. Aldrich says "the first two companies named were subsidiary com panies of the Inter-Contineiital Rubber company and that it owned all , their stock and that they were organized for, the sake of convenience." * Mr. Bristow asked "How could they bo subsidiary companies of the Inter- Continental and organized for its con venience, when both of them were or ganized before it was?" Senator Bristow's speech, In part, follows:. "Mr. Aldrich declares the Inter-Con tinental Rubber company Is not a trust and at the same time admits that it is a holding company that controls nu merous subsidiary organizations that were organized for the purpose of handllnng the crude rubber business in various parts of the world. "He says that he! nor his family has profited directly or indirectly by tho tariff on manufactured rubber; yet, ho admits that he is producing millions of pounds of crude rubber per annum, selling to American manufacturers, and that he increased the duty on their products when they did not need it for protection, and when they already had control of the American market and were exporting manufactured rubber; that is, he increased the duty, enabling manufacturers to advance the price to American consumers, and admits that they did advance the price, yet he says that he nor his family has not profited directly «r indirectly. "He admits that dividends had not been paid before the consolidations of the various companies into one, and that after the consolidation enormous dividends were paid, as stated in my speech. "In my speech at Winfleld, Kas., July 9 I criticised the tariff bill, referring especially to duties on lead and lead products, cotton cloth and woolens, especially referring to duties on cotton cloths and manufactured rubber. I said those duties were fixed, not in the interests of the people, but in the in terest of certain trusts, combinations and speculators. VI 11 KM II s EXCEPTIONS "Mr. Aldrich, in a signed statement, takes exception to my remarks on tho rubber duties. He ignores the other features of my speech. He also made a number of sarcastic references to myself and other Republican senators who saw fit to vote in the interest of our constituents, rather than as Mr. Aldrlch wanted us to. His opinion of myself and the other senators is of little consequence, but I desire to call special attention to some of the state ments of Mr. Aldrich, made in hia explanation. He says: 'It is true that an Increase in the rate took place in paragraph 403, which includes certain, manufactures of India rubber with other items, and it is true that I am a stockholder and director in the In ter-Continental Rubber company; but none of tho other statements referred to contains a single element of truth." "Now what were the other statements L made.' I stated that the Continental Rubber company was organized under th.3 laws of New Jersey, January 29, 1U03; that the Continental Rubber com p.Li.v of America was organized under the laws of New Jersey, January 5, 1908, and that the Intercontinental Rubber company was organized under the ]aw 3 of New Jersey, December 6, 1908. "Now. Mr. Aldrich says the llrst two companies named were subsidiary com panlea of the Intercontinental Rubber company, and that it owned all of their stock, and that they were organized for the sake of convenience. How could they be subsidiary companies of the Intercontinental Rubber company, and organized for its convenience, wheD both of them were organized before it uas-one of them almost three year* before?"
