SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD APPOINT A LOCAL MAN INDIAN AGENT. A rumor is being softly whispered about to the effect that the agent who is in charge of the govern- ment affairs at the Red Lake Indian agency will soon tender his resigna- tion, on account of the climate of this viciniiy making it necessary for his wife to leave this section, the agent desiring to be removed to some other agency. If this rumor is correct (and, con- sidering the source of our informa- tion, we have every reason to be- lieve that itis), now is a splendid time for the Indian department at Washington to name a man for Indian agent at Red Lake who is familiar with the wants of the Red Lake tribe, and who hasresided in this section and thoroughly under- stands how to serve both the Indians and the department in an able and competent manner. Heretofore, it has been the policy of the department at the national capital to bring to Red Lake and establish as agent some person who found the environments strangely unfamiliar and the Indians under his charge strangers and unwilling to accept a new ‘‘overseer” every thirty days, or thereabouts. These new officials have had all kinds of trouble and worry in at- tempting to gain the confidence of the Indians and to work for their betterment. The average aboriginee is a suspicious individual; especially is he “offish” with white strangers, and the government has worked on this trait of his character by con- tinually changing agents and scarcely allowing one agent to become on speaking terms with the chief men of the tribe before he is removed to some other agency, usually at his own request. This practice does not augur well either for the continued peaceful disposition of the Indian or for his physical or financial welfare. If a new agent is to be appointed for the Red Lake agency, the Indian department would do well to in- vestigate applications from persons in this section whoare well able to care for the affairs at Red Lake, both for the good of the Indian and the welfare of the government. BELIEVED STRIKE WILL END SOON Perfect Calm Prevalls Through- .. out Sweden, it Stockholm, Aug. 11.—Perfect calm prevalls throughout the country and there are further evidences that the general strike inaugurated a week ago will result in fallure. The Answer, the organ of the trades unions, is the only newspaper published in regular form. The other journals have fssued small, hand printed edittons: Efforts are being made with some success to improve the local street car service and the street car employes have called a meeting to consider a proposal to return to work. The mer- chants of Stockholm have announced their intention of running their deliv- ery wagons and it is expected that the cab service will be resumed soon. Forelgn steamers are overcoming the dock strike by bringing with them their own stevedores, There has been a big demonstra- tion’of 20,000 strikers at Gathenburg. In this city the labor leaders contyol all the vehicles. Physicians requirfng an -ambulance to remove g patient to hospitals are referred by the police to labor headquarters. NO HOPE GF SETTLEMENT 8trikers Will Be Dealt With Only as Individuals. Pittsburg, Aug. 11.—Hope of settle- ment of the trouble existing for the past month between the Pressed Steel Car company of McKees Rocks and 6,000 striking employes became less when Samuel Welsh, an intermediary of the company, called at the strik- ers’ headquarters with information that the new general menager of the company, James Rider, would not listen to the demands of the men as a body, but would take up individual cases. FAILED TO SIGHT STEAMER British Crulser Returns From Search for Missing Vessel. Durban, Natal, Aug. 11.—The Brit- 18h cruiser Pandora has returned here after an unsuccessful search of eight days for the British steamer Wara- tah, which, with 300 persons on board, has beén missing since July 26. The Pandora covered an area of 250 square miles and her commander is of the opinion that if the Waratah still is MRS, PARKER - ON THE STAND Dead Man’s Sistér Testifies at Sutton Inquiry. INTERVIEW WITH ADAMS Witness Tells of Her Long Talk With One of the Officers Involved and Repeats His Story of the Tragedy as Told to Her at That Time—Evi- dence Tending to Show That Sutton Did Not Meditate Suicide. Annapoljs, Md., Aug. 11.—When the inquiry into the death of Lieutenant Sutton was resumed Mrs. Sutton, mother of the dead officer, was re- called to the stand at the request of her counsel, Mr. Davis, who presented two letters. The letters were identi- fled by Mrs. Sutton as having been written by Lieutenant Button, one to her and one to her brother. They were chatty, Intlmate and hopeful in character. That to Mrs. Sutton was malled the day before Lieutenant Sut- ton was shot and contained no hint that he meditated suicide, but spoke of his plans for the future. Mrs. Button also identified a bill of lading as having been written by her son. Mr. Davis offered it as evidence showing that Lioutenant Sutton had no thought of suicide, but logked for- ward with pleasure to going around the world on the great crulse of the United States battleship fleet in 1907. ‘When Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, sis- ter of Lieutenant Sutton, was called to the witness stand she said she started for Annapolls on the day fol- lowing her brother’s death, previously making preliminary arrangements for his burial at Arlington, because as a sujcide he could not be burfed in the cemetery lot of the family in Port- land, Ore., they being membera of the Roman Catholic church. She was ad- vised by Colonel Doyen, commandant of marines, not to look at her brother’s body owing to the condition of the head, which, she sald, Colonel Doyen told her showed a number of wounds of varlous sorts. . Tells of Talks With Officers. Mrs. Parker told of interviews In her room et Carvel Hall with several of the young leutenants. She asked that Lieutenant Adams see her alone, because Lieutenant Adams seemed i1l at ease when she met him and be- cause she believed he had informa- tlon which he probably would not give her in the presence of others, The Interview began at 4 end ended at 10 p. m. Relating what passed she said she asked Adams to tell her every- thing about her brother's death and not spare her feelings and that Ad- ams told her of Lieutenant Button’s unpopularity with his brother officers. Reading from the record of Lieuten- ant Adams’ testimony questions which the latter had declared he could not answer, as he @id not remember, Mrs. Parker declared that Lieutenant Ad- ams had told her of the incldents of tho fight, that followed the automobile trip to “the Dump.” Bhe sald Adams told her her brother went for weapons, having declared he would kill Adams, Utley and Oster- man, and that he described the final gncounter. Mrs. Parker sald Adams told her he would pot swear her brother committed sulcide; that he khew if Sutton had lived his own life would have been in danger; “that Button would ‘get’ me,” Adams, che sald, stated that Lieu- tenant Utley hated Sutton and had declared some one ought to “take it out of him.” Adams told Mrs. Par- ker, she sald, that {f Captain Marix claimed Sutton owed him money not to pay it, as Sutton owed him noth- ing. Mrs. Parker told Adems, she said, that all she wanted was to prove her brother was not a suicide, as were he that his mother would by her faith b8’ compelled to believe her son’s soul lost. Bhe told Adams if she could do thig the case would be dropped. This anded Mrs. Parker's direct examina- on. CLOSE FIGHT FOR COMMANDER Contest WIll Continue Until Ballots Are Cast. Salt Lake City, Aug. 1l.—Actlve campaigning by the candidates for commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. and by the committees representing Atlantio City and St. Louis for the 1910 encampment continues, A systematio canvass of the delega- tions indicates that Atlantic City will win the encampment and the open supporters of 8. R. Van Sant for com- mander-n-chief are most in evidence. Those who gre backing W. A. Ketcham of Indlanapolis express con- fidenge that they will win, however, and fhis contest promises to be strong until the ballots are cast. Reports from the raiflroads on ar- Mvals sfiow that from points outside the state there are 42,000 in attend- ance at the encampment. Kentuoky Negro Lynched.

HIDDEN ABOUT HIS- PERSON Passenger on Ocean Liner Carried Diamonds and Corals, New York, Aug. 11.—After most of the passengers on the Red Star liner Lapland had left the pler Special Cus- toms Inspector Donohue made an im- portant seizure. He had spent several hours mingling with cabin passengers and, finally, noticing something sus- picious about Aaron Greenberg, or- dered him aboard for exzamination. On reaching his stateroom Greenberg was searched and In a congeale pocket was found a wallet confathing six diamond rings valued at $100 each. In another pocket were found 8ix iore of similar value. Around each of his legs, inside bis underclothing, were tled strings and from these dangled twelve coral neck- laces. BALLOON FLIES ~ OVER THE ALPS Highest Attitude Reached on Voyage 18,373 Feet, Chamonix, France, Aug. 11.—The balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying over the Alps. The airship left here last Sunday under the pllotage of M. Spelterine, who had with him three passengers. Fears were entertained for the safety of the voyagers, but they have been dispelled by the re- ceipt of a report that they have land- ed safely at a pofut near Locarno, at an altitude of 5,400 feet. The four men, however, still have a dangerous path to cover on foot from the place where they landed into Locarno. The Sirfus traversed Mont Blanc and soared over the Aiguille du Dru and the Afguille Verte. The highest altitude attained on the voyage was 6,600 metres, equal to 18,373 feet.

PROSECUTION g But lnfiicted Distillers Wil Be Assessed $10,000. —_— ‘, PROMINENT MEN INVOLVED Declelon by Acting Attorney Genera Ellis Fixing Price of Immunity Ap proved by Treasury Department Collector Who Discovered the In fractions of the Law Insisted or Prosecution but Falled. Washington, Aug. 11.—The seizure of about $500,000 worth of whisky from fthe warehouses of the Cascade Distilling company at Nashville, Tenn., will cost the company $10,000. The $10,000 must be pald to obtain the re lease of the spirits and to get im: munity from prosecution. Acting At torney General Wade Ellls fixed thia sum as the amount required to reim: burse the government for the Interna) Tevenue tax. Acting Becretary Rey nolds of the treasury department ap proved the finding. Since Internal Revenue Collector Sharp made the seizure several months ago the case has attracted na- tional attention. V. E. Schwab, pro- prietor of the distilling company; his son, G. A. Schwab; W. E. Carroll, manager, and Assistant Manager Rey- nolds were all arrested end later in- dicted. The charges against them were ‘“equalizing spirits fn ware- houses and removing spirits on which the tax had not been pald.” Great Interest In Case. On account of the prominence ot the Schwabs great interest was taken in the case. They rushed to Wash. ington as thelr attorney Frank P. Bond of Nashville, former collector of internal revenue in that district. He has been here for three months: labor- ing first to have dismissed the charges against the proprietors and officials of the distilling company and then for the releaso of seized goods with the payment of a fine. An ofter of $5,000 and the payment of all costs in compromise of the de- fendants’ labilities was made by Mr. Bond. Former Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue Capers agreed to ac- cept this as settlement, -subject to the approval of the secretary of the treas- ury. Then Collector Sharp came to ‘Washington and protested. He satd that the infractions of the law by the Cascade company had been flagrant and he asked that prosecution of the distillers be insisted upon. Failing in this he urged that larger costs be assessed agalnst them and {n this was successful. NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL ON Efforts to Avert Threatened Street Car Strike at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Unfon officials and the heads of the Chicago street rallway companies conferred again over the differences on the wage scale of the employes. In the opinion of the leaders on both sides the tentative propositions of- fered by the railway officlals looking to a gradual advance in the wage scale will be a working basis for the drafting of an agreement satisfactory to both the men and the employers. Through the medium of Walter L. Fisher, special tractlon attorney, the city is taking an active part in the pedcg negotiations, being a recipient og 66 per cent of tho met profits of the street rallways upder the fran- chise ordinances recently adopted. Thé negotlations, whether successful or fiot, wifl probably continue for #ev- eral days- before deflnite restlts afe reached.
