CHANGE INDIAN NAMES. Washington Officials Object to Allot- ment Rolls. Washington, Oct. 20.—An allotment roll received at the Indian bureau has prompted the commissioner of Indian affairs to issue hurry up orders to the officials who are in charge of the work of introducing appropriate names among the Indian tribes. This has be- come necessary in order that inherited lands and property may be handed down properly and a record of the same kept in Washington. The allotment roll in guestion came from a Northwestern state and the group of names it contained, accord- Ing to the ¢fficials, was the extreme limit. Standing Up, Shoot Up, Crook- ed Leg, Run-in-the-House, Goesto- Camp, Ground Hog and numerous oth- ers, absolutely without meaning or sentiment, were among the .names of the Indians to whom allotments had been made for the approval of the commissioner of Indian affairs and sec- retary of the interior. The agent in charge protested against the allotment of lands under such names and the Washington au- thorities agreed with him that the In- dians should be renamed before the allotments were a ved.

AMERICANS MAY FISH. Trouble Along Newfoundland Coast Settled by Secretary Root. Washington, Oct. 20.—After a con- ference between Secretary Root and Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am- bassador, lasting for an hour and a half, it was announced that a speedy and satisfactory solution of the Gloucester - Newfoundland fisheries | controversy was in sight. The facts obtained show that the\ Newfoundiand inspector of revenue protection service directed that Amer-; ican vessels should not be allowed to! fish under American register on the ground that they had never done so in Prior to this time the Amer- ican fishermen had bought bait in New- foundland under fishing license. They are now prevented by law from bu - ing bait and the authorities have been unwilling to permit them to catch her- ring without a fishing license. Secretary Root informed the ambas-! sador that an American register is a! ship’s highest form of nationality and carries with it not only a license to] trade but also a regular fishing license. As soon as this fact is made clear to the Newfoundland authorities it is ex-; pected they will withdraw all objec- tions. men, with the approval of the state de- partment, have been instructed to con- tinue their fishing.

MUCH STATE MONEYS ON DEPOSIT PUBLIC FUNDS IN CLOSED INSTI- TUTION SAID TO AGGREGATE FULLY $1,000,000. Pittsburg, Oct. 20—The Investiga- tion of the affairs of the Enterprise National bank of Allegheny City, Pa., whose doors were closed Wednesday afternoon by the comptroller of -the currency following the sensational sui- cide of T. Lee Clark, the cashier, is making good progress. | The developments following the tragedy and the closing of the bank have been startling, involving as they do the names of several prominent eiti- zens who have been active in state politics. According to the statements of Pres- ident Gwinner the bank, through Cash- 2r Clark, had furnished most of the funds used to float the Santa Fe Cen- tral Railwvay and the Pennsylvania Development companies, in which for- mer State Senators W. H. Andrews and Arthur Kennedy and Francis J. Tor- rance were deeply interested, together with Cashier Clark. The two projects are allied ones. Former Senator Arthur Kennedy is president of the Development com- pany and former Senator W. H. An- drews is president of the railway. Francis J. Torrance is heavily inter- | ested both concerns and his confi- { dential man, W. S. Hagan, is secre- tary of both companies. T. Lee Clark, | the dead cashier of the Enterprise, was :treasurer of both companies and the bank was the custodian of their bonds, | which were held as security for the | 10ans. ialso reported to be among the addi- i tional security furnished the bank. The closing of the bank follows quickly after the charges made against it by Hovrer L. Castle, Prohibition can- i didate for superior court judge, who | alleged that the bank was carrying practically worthless stocks which had | been deposited by state politicians' for ! personal loans. . MORE THAN ONE MILLION. i P : State Money on Deposit in Suspended Bank. New York, Oct. 20.—Concerning the closing of the Enterprise National bank of Allegheny and the suicide of its cashier, T. Lee Clark, a dispatch to the Herald from Pittsburg says: It was learned late Wednesday night that the disaster to the Enterprise bank was expected in certain quarters. IPlani for an exposure of the trafficking jin state funds, it is said, were laid ! weeks ago. Mr. Clark was cognizant of this and talked over the matter with several of the directors a few days ago. The cashier was told by the direc- | tors he would have to meet the paper obligations of the institution negotiated through him and he promised to in- sure the bank against all loans for which he was responsible. The sup- position is he was unable to accom- i plish this and, fearing the conse- | quences, took his life. Although the bank directors only ;a.cknowledge having $600,000 of the state funds the assertion was made by one of the bank officials that the En- terprise had more than $1,000,000 state ;money on deposit before the extensive According to this official all this money is insured by bonds of the Mercantile Trust com- pany of Pittsburg and the United States Fidelity and Trust company of Baltimore. Treasurer of Two Concerns. !loans were made. Clark was associated, as treasurer, with former State Senator W. H. An- drews and Francis J. Torrance, who, according to President Gwinner, were borrowers from the bank, in the Santa Fe Central Railway company, incor- porated in New Mexico in 1891. The stock of the corporation has never been marketed. This road was built by Messrs. Andrews and Torrance. Cashier Clark was also a heavy in- vestor in Mexico and New Mexico sil- ver mining stocks, according to Mr. Gwinner. Former State Senator Andrews is a brother of Wesley R. Andrews, United States Senator Penrose’s private sec- retary and chairman of the Repub- lican state committee. At the last election Mr. Andrews was elected as delegate from New Mexico in congress and:it is said he aspires to be senator from New Mexico when that territory is admitted to Btatehood. A rapid inquiry is being made into Cashier Clark’s personal affairs.
