SAYS INDIANS ■
NEED MONEY
(By Associated Press.)
Spokane. March 10.—That a num
ber of Indians of the ColVllle reserva
tion are near starvation and that
atf>at suffering will result unless the
gWernment at once forwards money
due the Indians for lands purchased
by the government, is asserted by
R. R. Coleman, of Meteor. "A move
ment is being made to circulate a
petition." states Coleman. "The gov
ernment promised $1,500,000 to the
Indians for the land taken. In 1897,
$300,000 was appropriated and a
like amount the following year, but
not a cent of this money has ever
been-paid to the Indians.

WORK ON CHELAN
AVENUE REGRADE
MEN, TEAMS AND SCRAPERS AT
WORK ON BIG CONTRACT FOR
IMPROVING FINE RESIDENCE
AVENUE.
The Eagle Transfer company and
J. J. O'Connor, contractors for the
improvement of Chelan avenue, have
a large crew of men, teams and
scrapers at work on the $80,000 con
tract for the improvement of Chelan
avenue. An attempt was made last
fall to start this work, but there was
too much rost in the ground to make
the progress satisfactory so opera
tions were postponed until spring.
Work was resumed the first of the
week.
The contract calls for the leveling,
graveling, parking and sidewalking
of this entire avenue. The contract
provides for the laying of plank
walks but Messrs. Tupper, Rose, God
frey and Bousquet were appointed by
the city council to take the matter
up with the property owners of the
avenue as to the desirability of put
ting in cement sidewalks. A large
number of the property owners will
never feel satisfied until the whole
avenue has the cement sidewalk and
an effort will be made to have the
change made from the plank walk
as the contract calls for to the more
desirable walk.

Vancouver, B. C, March 10. —Van-
couver hotel proprietors drew the
color line very strictly last night,
when Jack Johnson and his white
wife, at the St. Francis, were told
the house was full to overflowing.
The clerk said he was very sorry but
• Really, Mr. Johnson, it could not be
helped." The same performance was
gone through at five other hotels.
Johnson took his first turn .down very
gracefully, but. lost his temper when
lie went from hotel to hotel, and be
came abusive. Late In the evening'
he obtained accommodation at the
Dominion, a down town housp. John
son spent part of the night at the
home of George* Paris, a boxing in
structor. This morning he could not
be found anywhere, although an
army of messenger boys with tele
grams and telephone calls from Se
attle and other places searched for
him. Johnson repeatedly sidestep
ped when asked to make a definite
statement that he would fight Jef
fries. When pinned down be always
took another tack and brought up'
some irrelevant story of Australia. \
Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson's former
manager, who was deposed after the
championship mantle fell on John
son's shoulders, says Johnson can
lick the boiler maker or any man
on earth.

TRAL POINTS MET HERE.
Representatives of the milling in
terests of the up-river, Great North
ern, Washington Central and this
city met yesterday afternoon in the
Great Northern hotel for the pur
pose of discussing matters of mu
tual Interests. This was the first

from the Washington Central sec

In view of the recent advance in
milling wheat the great question
with the millers has been as to the
wheat and the process that would
give the best flour for the lease
money. These were questions that
were discussed yesterday. The dif

seemed to be that the Bluestem

church of St. Stanislaus, was shot
and almost instantly killed by three
masked men in the rectory early to
day. Miss Antonia Zwertzika. house
keeper for the rector, who attempted
to prevent the assassination, was

a dispute among tbe church leaders
regarding its affairs the shooting was
at first believed to have been the out
come of that disagreement. Three
men called at the recory and were
admitted to the parlor while the rec
tor was celebrating mass in the
church. As the rector entered the
parlor they opened fire. Three bul
lets entered the man's stomach and
the men escaped. The rector died in
an ambulance. Four suspects were
arrested but the hoasekeeper was un
