S ey B— o R | FUNDS ARE REDEPOSITED TO TREASURER'S GREDIT Indian Agent at Red Lake Receivss Orders from the Department at Washington. Word comes from the Red Lake Indian agency that the Indian Department at Washington has sent a telegram at the agency, instructing that official to deposit the money which is in the First National Bank at St. Paul to his credit to the treasucr of the United States, subject to further order for payment to the Red Lake Indians, on duly authorized checks. This order will put a quietus to the signs of trouble among the Red Lakers, who had been talking quite freely in an ugly mood ffor several days past, owing to their be- lief that the money due them was being held back, and would not be paid for some time to come. Yesterday, telegrams were sent to Senators Nelson and Clapp, request- ng that they wuse their good influences to have the money iorthcoming to the Indians, and the result will probably be that the payment will be made very shortly. The payment which is now due will amount to in the neighborhood of $20,000, and every resident of the reservation, whether adult or child, is entitled to his or her share of the money.

Denver, June 11.—It is a fraudulent use of the malls for any one in the Interest of strikers to communicate by letter with strikebreakers offering them positions in other towns when such positions do not really exist. This was the decision of the federal court in the case of Thomas Hill, a member of the Machinists’ union, who was charged with influencing nonun- ion men employed by the Denver and Rio Grande railrond during the ma- chinists’ strike to leave the city on the promise of work in Kansas City, Kan. The evidence showed that the prospective work in the Kansas town was pure fiction. Hill’s attorneys will Card of Thanks. ‘We wish to thank through this paper the fire department, Wood- men, Eagles, Royal Neighbors, Degree of Honor lodges, and the kind friends tnat have extended to us their aid and sympathy.

BOARD OF ENGINEERS OPPOSES PROJEGT Blow to Deep Waterway From 3t Leuis fo Bulf Washington, June 11.—The pro- posed fourteen-foot deep waterway project from St. Louis to the Gulf re- eelved a blow when the board of en- sinoers reported to congress that such a waterway fs not desirable. The waterway would cost $128,000,000 for construction and $6,000,000 annu- ally for maintenance, the engineers say. The report is based on a survey of the Mississippi river by a special board of engineers, created by act of congress. The conclusions reached by both the epecial board and the reg- ular board of engineers are practically the same. The report of the regular board that 1t is not desirable to construct a nav- igable channel fourteen feet deep from 8t. Louis or from Clicago to the mouth of the Missiasipp is based on the conclusion of e ofal board that only cothmerce erlggnating from sources that do not at present ship by river would jusMty tht great cost of a fourteen-foot waterway. WATER PARTIALLY SHUT OFF Emergency Dam Being Put In Posi- tion at the Soo. Sault Ste. Marle, Mich., June 11.— After a night of hard werk the em- ployes of the Canadian ship canal succeeded in partially shutting off the torrent of water which has baen roar- In through the canal afmee the look gates were torn out by the steamer Perry G. Walker. All but four of the ten-foot steel wickéts whigh make the movable dam provided for emergen- eles have been placed. But the pres- sure agaiust the dam i mow so great that the forcing of these foir rematn- Ing wickets down against the tremen- dous head of water is an engineering prolem of magnitude.

DISSATISFIED WITH SHARE Member Incensed Over Division of Blood Money Induced to Work With Secret Service Men Against His Companions—Detectives in Next Room When Meeting of Conepira- tors Is Held at Marion, O. Baking Powder = Received Highest Award - . World’s Pure Food Exposition Chieago, 1907. WANIS ONE CENT A WORD. Cincinnati, June 11.—Government secret service men and postoffice in- spectors, now that they have caught many of the ringleaders in the Soci- ety of the Banana, commonly known as the “Black Hand,” are disolosing some of the methods pursued by the officers to encompass the organiza- tlon of extortionists. A Black Hand member, incensed over what he Sbught a wrong division of the bleod money, was induced to betray his assoclates, although ostensibly con- touing his friendship for them. 80 when preparations were being made two months ago for a division meeting of the Sicilian plotters at Marion, 0., the postofiice inspectors and government secret service agents were kept informed. Postoffice inspectors were in Ma- rlon a week before the day set for the meeting and laid their plans for finding out what took place. The offi- cers secured a room in the building adjoining the fruit store of Sam Lima, the alleged ringleader of the gang. Plotters Meet in Rear of Store. In a little room in the rear of the store the plotters assembled. They dropped into town quictly in ones and twos and gathered at the rendezvous. They came from Pittshurg, Columbus, Bellefontaine. Cleveland, Toledo, Up- per Sandusky, Newburg, Cincinnati and other citles and there were over twenty at the meeting. Their names were obtained by the gevernment offi- cers. Fach member at the meeting has since been under surveillance. When Lima was arrested and the pa- pers in his headquarters confiscated evidence was found, the officers claim, incriminating a number of those who attended the conference where the business affairs of the “Society of the Banana,” the new Mafia organization, were discus d. In the arrests already made, it is said, it included several delegates to the meeting. Others will be taken into custody as rapidly as evidence snufiicient to hold them is secured.
