GRISCOM TAKES
MESSAGE FROM
TAFT TO T. R.
Republican Committeeman's
Visit to Sagamore Hill Con=
sidered Significant
President Thought to Be Sound=
ing Colonel on Policies of
Administration
OYSTER BAY. Ay^g. 14. — Former
President Roosevelt announced today
that LJoyd C. Griscom. chairman of
the New York republican county com
mittee, will come to Sagamore hill to
morrow for a conference. Griscom
spent last night with President Taft at
Beverly, although Colonel Roosevelt
would not say that Griscom will "come
to Sagamore hill as the bearer of an
important message from TafU The
conference, therefore, will be of more
than usual importance.
The color.c! would add nothing to the
bare announcement that Griscom was
to come, except to say that he had
lead with great interest the dispatches
from Beverly intimating that the presi
dent is expecting Secretary Ballinger
to resign and that Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon in the future are to
be in less direct contact with the ad
ministration. . He refused to give his
views on this subject, or to say whether
the message which Griscom bears con
stitutes another step in the adminis
tration's program for readjusting con
ditions within the party.
VIEWS ARE SOUGHT
It is believed here, however, that as
a result of Griscom's visit the exact
relations between the president and the
former president will be more clearly ,
denned, oven though no public an
nouncement be made. Since Roosevelt's
return r'rom- Africa he has resolutely
avoidod placing himself on record in
regard to the Taft administration. He
has seen the' president only once, and
i hen for a comparatively short time
during his visit to Boston for the Har
vard commencement. So far as known,
no me^^ages have passed between them
since that time, and it is believed that
Tat't desires to ascertain -where his pre
dt-etsfcof stan.Js, particularly in view of
ii;c uiidor.al campaign which is soon
lo get under way.
Roosevelt's western trip will start
Tuesday of next week. During the
nip ii is expected that he will place
himself on record in regard to a num
ber of matters of great interest to the
< ounti y and to the republican party.
One ot' them will be the conservation
of national re&wurces.
While it is believed that Roosevelt
will not s:ave one word of criticism of
the administration in any of these
speeches, there is good ground for the
assumption that he will not depart from
the vigorous stand for conservation
which he assumed while he was presi
dent.
TO CARRY OUT PROGRAM
Whatever may be the tenor of Gris
com's message from the president, it
may be said that Roosevelt will pro
ceed with the program which it is
known he ha.s mapped out for himself.
Roosevelt announced today that he had
decided on a third long trip. Starting
some time in March, he will go from
t oast to coast on a trip that nvill oc
cupy about one month. He said that
while h<* was in Africa eight months
ago accepted an invitation from
President Wheeler of the University of
California to speak at the university
on charter day, next March. He will
go" by the southern route. Only.: one
other speech has been definitely set
tled on — that at the southern commer
cial congress in Atlanta,
From Atlanta Roosevelt will travel
through the south, making one speech
in eaoh state which he traverses. He
probably /will make a short stop at the
Texas rsi«h of Cecil Lyon, republican
rational eommitteeman, who is* an old
friend. The return from California in
a.ll probability will be via the northern
route. The exact time of the trip and
the places at which speeches will be
made have not been decided upon.

RULING TO EFFECT
30,000 REDSKINS
Supreme Court to Deal With j
Rights of Indians During
Approaching term
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. — With the
rights of some 30,000 Indians in ques
tion, the supreme court of the United
States will " begin consideration, prob
ably during the first week of the ap
proaching term, of some of the most
perplexing problems arising out of the
relation of the United States to its
wards. Among those' are questions of
citizenship and of authority over the
lands of the individual Indians.
In 1902 congress passed an act for
the allotment to the individual Indians
of the Cherokee tribe tribal land in
; Oklahoma. One restriction was laid
upon the land:
Lands allotted to citizens shall not in
any manner whatever or at any- time
be incumbered, taken or sold to secure,
i or satisfy, any debts or. obligations or
be alienated by the allwttee or his heirs
before the expiration of five years from
the date of the ratification of this act.
In 1904 congress authorized the sec
retary of the interior to grant a right
of way .for oil and ' gas pipe lines
through the. lands thus allotted to the
Indians. In 1906 the live year restric
tion'imposed in 1902 was extended to
25 years. The constitutionality of the
acts of 1904 and of 1906 was raised
and congress, authorized two 1 Indians,
William Brown and Lovi B. Gritts, to
bring suit to test the laws. The court
of .claims held the law to be constitu
tional. An appeal' was taken to the
supreme court
Reversal of the decision of/the court
of claims would. allow the Indians to
sell their- lands worth millions of dol
lars at this time, as the five years long
ago expired.

/ EDWARDSyiLLE, 111., Aug. 14.-- : To
the fact that David* Jones of Edwards
ville,. sheriff of , Madison owns
a. big. touring car, -John^Burton of Alton
probably, owes his life. -Burton admits
that last >night he choked to death in
a hand to handstruggle,Leo Wentz arid
Lewis Welbrecht.; Relatives of the men
say that feeling was so. intense at Ma
rine, where the.; killing, occurred, that
it ,boded ill: for Burton.
When advised by 'telephone of the
tragedy the .sheriff did > not wait for.
daylight but ordered his big motor car
and with two deputies went 'after' the
man. He-made the 24 miles, of the
round trip and had Burton -iif jail' "at
Edwardsville before 4: ; o'clock , this
morning. ' ' •„
Burton, who is more than six feet
in height and weighs 240 pounds, is
a plumben and; steam fitteV. He ' was
called to Marine by a hardware firm
to Install some fixtures. Yesterday
Burton completed \* his - work. Witn
Wentz and: Welbrecht'he spent a por
tion of the afternoon and evening in a
saloon. At 11 o'clock ;the three left
the saloon, Wentz saying that he would
give Burton and, s Welbrecht lodging, m'
a vacant house belonging to his moth
er. The three entered the house ap
parently on the most amiable terms.
..A few minutes later .William Rey
! nolds, who lives .two j blocks away, was
startled by the appearance of Burton,
ytfiom he knew: slightly. ,->;. i
"I have been robbed*" said Burton.!
\ "You must be mistaken," replied
Reynolds. '-Nothing of that kind ever
takes place : in this quiet little burg."
"Well,, they tried to, and I -killed
them both," insisted Burton.
It was some time" before Burton
could make Reynolds believe that'any
thing had happened. Then' the latter
put on his hat stnd accompanied the
plumber to the Wentz house. ."
"Didn't I tell you?" declared Bur
ton. "There's one of them there and
the other is over here. I- killed .them
both when they tried to rob me." '*
Today he told the same story, to the
police, declaring that the two men tried
to 'rob him and 'in the 'struggle he
choked them both to death;
PERRY STRUCK A
ROCK DURING FOG
Bottom of Revenue Cutter Was
Ripped Out and It Was
Blown Up
VALDEZ. Alaska, Aug. 14.— Details
of the loss of the revenue cutter Perry,
which' went -on the rocks 'of Tonki
point, St. Paul island, in Bering sea,
July- 26, were brought here today, by i
the revenue cutter Rush from Una
laska. ' /.
..The Perry: had been working its
way through a heavy fog several days.
It was on the way to the sealing vil
lage to i report to the Tahoma" before
proceeding to Urialaska. About 4
o'clock in the morning of the 26th the
fog became less dense' and. the Perry
started to. round Tonki- point, when
it ran into another heavy fog bank.
The soundings were all;, right .and
within two* minutes the \ officer on
watch, sighted land, got -his," bearings
and directed the fcourse aw3y, from
danger. It was too] late, though, for
two , . minutes later breakers were
sighted ahead. -The officer again
'changed his course, ; but the boat struck
a rock and held fast. .
: As soon as the* Percy struck its.wire
less operator began calling for.-assist
ance. The callstwerepicked up by, the
cutter Tahoma and at 10 1 o'clock' it
arrived', alongside.': The Tahoma put
the "slop chests aboard and sent out to
get .the cutter Manning to stands by.
The; Manning is of lighter draft than
the Tahoma. ,' \u25a0'\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0' • • .
In : the ; meantime : the crew of the
Perry hadbeen sent ashore., The men
went five miles overland to the village,
where, they , were given quarters' in the
home of the sealing company's agent
and the United States marshal's house.
The . next morning they returned to
the wreck with 30 ; 'empty barrels,
which they stowed*ln- the vessel in the
hope- of . keeping it afloat." , While
pounding, on the rocks, however," the
whole\bottom of the cutter .v/as ripped
6ut,ana Captain- Foley.idecided that it
was useless to make further efforts to
salve it. V He assigned the. crew of
•the Perry to - duty aboard other vessels
of the Bering sea fleet' and ordered the
wrecked cutter. blown up. .

JAIL OPENED AT MIDNIGHT
Just as the clock struck midnight
the jailers opened wid^ the prison, gates
and the 'three, attorneys stepped forth
to freedom. With friends who - had
come to 'greet them- they climbed into
the half, dozen waiting autos, whose;
glaring \ headlights split the pitchy
darkness of the country side.
It was with a feeling of exceeding
joy that the three men came out again
into j the world from - which they had
been separated.' The Moores were
whirled off in a : big machine to their
homes in Oakland," accompanied part of
the way hy: Patrick Calhoun. r- /
: Barrett and a dozen friends.celebrat
ed his release/ Two' big machines were
ready to carry him- and, those of his
party; ttho h the Cliff house, where a ban
quet was served at 1 o'clock in the
\u25a0 morning. Among the hosts were William
F. Humphreys, Judge Fritz, F. M. Fen
i wick, T. J.:McCann and S. N. Rucker.
TIME SAVED, BUT MONEY LOST '
As the Calhoun; attorneys spent but
four days three hours and 45. minutes
in;jail,. they got the best of the county
by'2o hours and 15 minutes. They en
tered the jail Wednesday; night at 8:15
o'clock and.under the law, the remain
der of the night counted as the first
of the five day sentence. ,
The \u25a0 incarceration 'of the attorneys
put an astonishing nick in the Cal
houn defense fund. The, war chest has
been depleted' of ?1,321 by the short
Imprisonment.
Going to. jail for contempt of court
is a costly affair. What would happen
to Calhoun and. his defense fund should
air his 20 or more attorneys become
martyrs and go to jail, can only be
conjectured. >
| The three attorneys spent yesterday
much as they had spent: the previous
days. ' - Barrett had no lawn to shave,"
so all three exercised in the flower gar
den. The day was cold and raw in ,the
city. \u25a0 ..
"It was the most beautiful day we've
had yet," said Barrett. "Perhaps it only
looked better to us, but I think It was
a; beautiful day. The night is' much
more beautiful. ,Tonight isthe queen
of them all."
PIOUS EXERCISES AT JAIL
Streams vof .'visitors found their-way
out to; the'- county jail yesterday, tak
ing words of cheer to the attorneys.
Among these were Garret McEnerney
and | ;his brother, John; Thomas B.
Flynri, Patrick Calhoun and his three
sons, ; Tirey L. Ford .'• and a/ party of
women, Mrs. A. A. Moore Sr." and a
number, of women ;friends.-
The prisoners were up early, although
they satup until after midnight swap
ping stories. It was the "last day and
they'* 1 were eager \u25a0\u25a0 to '\u25a0\u25a0 see its close.
"The lights go out in the real jail at
9:30,'.' ; said Barrett, "but our jailers are
a human lot of; men."
Although yesterday was Sunday there
were no religious services because of
the smallpox quarantine.
"However," said Barrett, with .- a
smile, *"we all "read books and
looked piousl Every one out here is
piouson Sunday." V
, S Early yesterday morning they shipped
their suit, cases and paraphernalia' into
i the city, and the day was occupied
principally In smoking cigars and eat
ing sweets. ...With \ the departure ', at
midnight the jailers were bidden a
hearty, goodby, and- were- made heirs- to
the; flowers and. cigars that were, left
behind. , }. : ' : .\u0084- ' ,

ENGLISHMAN AFFECTED V
BY HEADY RICE LIQUOR
Uses Pigeon English to Chinese
Yale Graduate
I once attended a banquet at which
one of the guests — an Englishman —
drank a little too much para shu. an
exceedingly heady liquid distilled front
rice, says Jerome A. Hart, in -the 80-"
hemlan Magazine. There were In at- \u0084
tendance two half grown Chinese girls.
14 or 15 years old, " one playing the
Chinese fiddle, the other the tall Chi
nese drum. The Englishman, to amuse -
himself, began making hideous faces
at them until he terrified the little crea
tures into silence. A handsome and
dignified Chinese merchant was seated
next to me, watching this procedure «
with an impassive ; face. The English
man caught hi* eye and saidr
"They no sabe me," pointing to the
girls. "They tlnk me alle same clazy.
Wat you tlnk?" To which the mer
chant gravely replied, in perfect Eng- .
lish:
"I would not exactly call you crazy.
sir,\but your mind certainly seems to be
somewhat affected."
The Englishman did not know that
the Chinese merchant was a graduate of
j Yale.'
