LOEB UPHOLDS PARR CLAIM| Collscter Rules. -that Deputy is in Scales Will Probably ceive Three-Quarters of Millten. NEW YORK, Deo. 90,~Willlam Loeb, jr., collector ot the port of New York, has up- proved the claim te moalety by Richard Parr, the deputy collector and original in- former n the sugar frauds on the $3,13,486 paid inte the United States treasury by the American Sugar Refining company, as res- titution for dutles evaded by underweigh- ing. According to the statutes regulating such awards,’ Parr will recelve 'not exceeding in amount one-half of the net proceeds,” which will mean in this case, if the claim is approved by the Treasury department, approximately $1,000,00. Mr. Loeb approved the clalih only after a thorough Investiga- | tion by Harrison Osborne, solicitor of the customs, He held that the claim was valld in that Parr on November 20, 107, discov- ered a steel spring which was used by the company's checkers to Influsnce the | welght of draughts of sugar adversely. This 1a1d bare the scheme to detraud and It was due to the eviderice obtalned as the conse- quence of the events of November 20 that | the jury In the ecivil suit against the com- pany last spring gave a verdict of gulity, which was follewed by the paying of the penalty, $135,456.33, and the restitution of 2,000,000 followin Several Other Claimants. Mr. Ldeb. could not be seen tonight. It was satd at his house that he had retired early and would not be disturbed. Parr Js not the only clalmant for the award. He has a serious rival in Edward 1. Anderson, another customs employe, but the Inference s that Parr will win, for the Treasury department has ratified pra tically every move of Mr. Loeb in the sugar scandals. Thera {s some confliction of statutes con- cerning payments of this character, but It is sald that in any event Parr wili receive % per cent of the amount named, or p- proximately $700,000. Parr was seen at his home tonight and confirmed the report that Mr. Osborne has acted favorable on his claim and that Mr. Loeb had ratified the decision. “1 do not know exactly how much T will recelve,” sald Parr. “In exceptional cases the government awards 0 per cent, but more usually %0 or 3% per cent. All the other claims were before the solicitor, but the faet that mine was upheld speaks for itmelt.” Law Covering Case. “Molety,!" as used in connection with the claim, denotes a part or portion of, &s the definition of the word indicates. The stat- utes prescribe: ‘‘That whenever any offi- cer of the customs or other person shall Qetect sand selze goods, wares or mer- chandise, in the act of being smuggled or Which have been smuggled, he shall be entitled to such compensation therefor as the seeretary of the treasury shall award.” It wis largely upén Parr's evidence as the dlscoverer of the steel spring that five former employes of the American Sugar Refining Sompany were. convicted here last week. At present he has charge of the weighing department of the customs ser- “ice here. Smaller Sum to Be Divided. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Secretary of he Treasury MacVeagh will have to pass 1pon the recommendations of William Loeb, Ir., of the port of New York that Richard Parr be given a “molety’ of the 32,135,456 collected from the American Sugar com- vany for back dutles and fines imposed or such avoidance. The secretary could 0t be reached tonight, and, in his absence lone of the other officials of the treasury would discuss the matter. It was learned, however, that Parr will recelve nothing: like §00,00. Under the law passed June 22, 1574, one-half of all such re- coveries goes to the government and one- quarter each to the selsing officer and to the informer whose Information brought the melsure about. This division, however, is made after deducting duties, expenses of collection, litigation, ete. The dutles in the present case amount 1o $,000,00. This leaves 313,486 to be di- vided @e indicated. The expenses of the investigation of the Bugar trust's opera- tions and the subsequent prosccution have been so heavy, however, that It s bellevad only & very small balance, if any of the fine, remains to be'so distributed, Jerome Talks to Working Men He Says if Lords Are Given Power Over Finance Liberals Cannot Again Regain Power. | LONDON, De¢. 20.—The election com- Ppaign has brought out two Interésting com- munifations. * Jerome K.

LAUDED AS A GREAT CHIEFTAIN llectual and C ng Character- isties Shown on Many Ocemsions —How an Agent Sub- dued Him. It is nineteen years almost to a day since the last flicker of Indian warfare was snuffed out at Wounded Knee, De- cember 29, 188. A ypan of more than {forty years reaches back to the troublous [times when Red Cloud and his followers were open foes of the paleface. The drubbing which followed the Fetterman tragedy and later drastic measures con- vinced the chief that the red man was hopelessly outclassed in the race for su- prema; But while outwardly at peace the heart of the warrior throbbed for the blood of the Invaders.and his hands itched for scalpe. Shrewd, tricky, unreconciled to conditions he could not change, the | subdued warrfor maintained an outward show of peace and counseled warring bfaves in methods af warfare. No white warrior of the west knew the savage cun- ning of Red Cloud as did General George Crook. When the Rosebud campalgn of 1576 began one of the first moves of Gen- eral Crook was to clip Red Cloud's wings by stampeding all the ponies of his tribe, a maneuver which prevented Red Cloud's acfive participation in that campaign The death of Red Cloud calls forth much Interesting comment and reminiscences of b times In the west. Newspaper obitu- arles of the old chiet class him as ‘“the noblest Roman of them all,” a past master of Indlan cunning and “an imtellectual glant of a vanishing race.” The Spring- fleld (Mass.) Republican puts him on a pedestal with Brant, Red Jacket and Oceola, “those who have been statesmen and warrlors in the long strife with the white invaders and despoilers of their country." The Baltimore American lifts him to the level of King Philip and Te- cumseh, “‘ag one of the Indian immortals.” “Red Cloud,” says the New York World, “was a wily but an honorable foe, a good fighter, but & man of his word when the tomahawk was burled.” ‘“He had something of military genius,” according to the Chicago Post, “and with a com- mand that was only half armed he fought well and vallantly for the country that belonged to him." When He Prayed. An Instance of his mehtal alettness in councll Is related by General Howard in a sketch of Red Cloud in his book, “Fa- mous Indian Chiefs I have known.” There was a “blg talk” on between Indians and government representatives at an army post. “A Christian gentleman,” relates General Howard, “opened thé talk with a prayer, and when he finished, Red Cloud sald that the Indians prayed to the Great Spirit, =0 he too would pray. Then he asked the Great Spirit to forbid the white man taking away the Indians' land and from wickedly destroying their homes, where they and thelr fathers had lived for years and years. It was a wonderful prayer, and when Hed Clopd sat’ downm, every one kept very still, for they, did not know what to say. Indian White House. The entorced absence of Rea Cloud from the. theater of war in '16 and as indirect compensation for the ponies stampeded by General Crgok, induced the; government later on fo puild the Warrior & substantial two-story frame house at Pine Ridge, and painted it white. It was the most preten- tious dwelling at the, agency, standing near White Clay creek, and at the foot of a long range of buttes. Red Cloud watched the comstruction of his house with satisfled curlosity. He figured that it was a sort of payment for his ponles, for which he had never re- celved a penny. This bit of robbery, as he called it, rankled In the breast of the old fellow. Always a bitter enemy of the | whites, this wholesale swoop on his herd | | sealea his hatred.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The three ecen- tric sisters, Miss Virginia Wardl Mrs Mary Snead and Mrs. Caroline W.

Immediately thereafter application vor the extradition of Mrs. Snead and Mrs Martin, now held in the Tombs here, will be made. It is believed that the two sis- ters In New York, on the advice of coun- sel, will consent % go to New Jersey for trial without a legal battle. Miss Wardlaw maintained the family's almost morbld desire for seclusion today when she requested that the bars of her cell be plastered with newspapers in order that the other prisoners might not look at her. But because of precedent that the granting of such a request would create, her plea was unheeded. Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Snead, In separato ceils, spent a quiet day at the Tombs. They are to be ar- raigned in a police court tomorrow. for a continuation of the preliminary hearing which was hegun on Saturday, Prosecutor Mott of Hssex county, New Jersey, sald that he has yositive evidence that both Mrs. Snead and Mrs. Marun were instrumental In engaging the. house ih which Ocey Snead died.: Charles Kirk, an 1l-year-old messenger boy, will testity that he carried Mrs. ‘Martin's sultcase in l3ast Orange on November 17, while tho prosecutor says he’ has additional evidence that Mrs. Martin was in the house after Ocey Snead met death and before Miss Wardlaw #o tardily notified the police.
