McLaughlin Listing Rightful Claimants REFUTES CUSTER STORY Says General in Famous Massacre Died While Facing Indians Names of approximately 2,000 Santee Sioux Indians in the Dako- tas, part of Nebraska, northern Iowa and Minnesota who will share $347, 900 awarded by the United States Court of Claims are being enrolled by Maj. James McLaughlin, the old- est employe in the Indian service. Maj. McIXughlin, in Bismarck on his way to Fort Totten, N. D., es- timated that by the time his work is finished within three months there will be between 1,800 and 2, 500 Indians named as_ entitled to share in the award. The award, he said, grew out of cancelled annuities which followed a massacre in Minnesota in 1864. After payment of attorneys’ fees, there was $347,500 for distribution, and Maj. McLaughlin was assigned to search through the Northwest for the rightful claimants. Maj. McLaughlin, who is 81 years old, entered the Indian service in 1871 as agent at Fort Totten, N. D., in 1881 he was made agent at Stand- ing Rock, N. D., and for many. years. has been an inspector and special representative. Maj. McLaughlin negotiated some of the most import- ant of the Northwest treaties and numbered among his friends ‘Gen Hugh Scott, who was a young lieu- tenant at Fort Totten in 1871 and became famous later as an Indian fighter, friend of the Indians and chief of staff of the United States Army, y Maj. McLaughlin, recalling the re- ported statement of A. McG. Beede of Ft, Yates, N. D., to a convention in Chicago last winter that General ieorge A, Custer’ had committed suieide rather- than be taken by thi Indians in the famous fight of 1876, declared any such report is false. Gen. Custer, he said, was killed by two shots, one in the forehead and one in the breast. He died fac ing the Indians. The story of the massacre was told Maj. McLaughlin after he had spent five years among the Indians at Standing Rock. Not until they had known him that long did they tell him the true story of the, fight, he said, BAND GETS OFF TOGOOD START WITH DIRECTOR Fifty Appear at Will Schoo!

It is: estimated that 500 to 600 post- masters—and —_ postmistresses—will attend the conference today and con- vention tomorrow. Object of Meeting The object of the meetnig, Mr. Glover ined, to give the eneral’s office in Wash- ington first hand information of all the problems in the service and to have a representative of that office meet every one of the postmasters. “Your business and mine” was the subject of his talk. De- studied effort which is being made in | this country to break down insurance | as a private enterprise and to make | a state monopoly out of it is the | most dangerous and insidious of alli socialistic movements, the delegates | to the National Association of Credit ! Men were told today by Henry Swift | Ives, secretary of the Casualty In+ formation Clearing House, of Chi-| cago. |; Mr. Ives’ subject was insurance, | credit and the state. Continuing he said: “The institutions of our rep sentative democracy and the princi- ple of private rights in property | might, weather, for a time, the gov- | ernment, ownership of transporta- | tion and the so-called utilities, but) they could not survive government ownership of insurance. “Power breeds power ang it is only a short step from state compensa- tion funds to state life and fire in- surance. Those who unthinkingly ac- | cept the socialist theory of why state companies should write compensa- | tion lines, cannot hold to it and at) the same time logically oppose any other government insurance scheme. “I wonder how many people there are in this country who know thav{ today 16 American states are operat- ing insurance companies for the writing of workmen's compensation | business, and that two states, Wis- | consin and Massachusetts, have ex- perimented with li insurance? 1) venture to say’ that there are very few who realize the extent to which this socialization scheme has been carried. On Compensation Laws “The states which are experiment- ing with the compensation lines are: Californi Colorado, Idaho, Mary. land, higan, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore gon, Pennsylvania, Utah Washington West Virginia and Wyoming. And seven of these states actually pro- hibit private companies from writing this type of insurance and require all employers of labor, arbitrarily and without option, to rely on the state funds for their protection, The sgates, which, by establishing a mon- opoly, admit their inability to com- Pete on equal terms with others en- gaged in the insurancs. business are: Nevada, North Dakota, Ohie, Oregon, Washington, West Virginia and Wy- oming. In 1921 the state companies in the nine states permitting com- petition only wrote 14.7 per cent of the compensation coverage, although all of them offered as inducements an apparent initial saving in rates. “This record ought to be ample proof that government ownership of insurance is just as inefficient, just as extravagant and just as bureau- cratic as government ownership of any other business. The test of any commodity is its quality, pot the price it is sold at. The employers of these nine states seem to have heeded this principle in buying their compensation insurance.” Last Civjl War Vet of Sheldon Dies At Home Sheldon, N.

Air Mail Service Mr. Glover, in an interview, ex- pressed belief that the Air Mail ser- ice may be developed eventually to embrace a broad field. On July 15 the department will inaugurate night flying and a 40-hour mail service from N@w York to San Francisco. Eventually, he said, there may be shorter routes—for example a route say from Chicago to Minneapolis and Bismarck and the Twin Cities. -The air mail service now is being given thorough study by Col. Hen- derson, second assistant postmaster- general, he said. The service has thus far paid its way. Robberies have been materially re- duced by the department in the last year, he said. Arming of clerks, ex- Press messengers and other employes was given as an effective means. Before leaving Mr. Glover was to talk over matters of service with postmasters of the larger cifies of the state. For sometime carrier ser- vice has been curtailed because of lack of appropriations, and the ser- vice, too, has grown beyond: expec- tations.
