Morse's statement is bitter and dramatic. “I am going to Atlanta to begin penal servitude under the most brutal sentence ever pronounced against a citizen in a civilized country,” is his opening sen- tence. “I have hoped,” the statement continues, “with that hope which comes from @ consciousness of my Innocence, that T will not have to close out forever the light and liberty of this word under such an Anhuman sentence. I had felt that the fact that I had paid a fine of $7.000,000 and served a year in prison would satisfy the cry for a victim, and I have steadily believed that the courts would be When 1 learned that the private detectives of the prosecution were the keepers of the Jury, that the jury’drank like they were upan a jaunt rather than citizens engaged In a serlous service' and that as a result two of them were rendered unfit, I natu- Taily hoped that I would be allowed an- , Other trial by another jury free of these hostile influences. “It seems, however, that the courts in- tend to establish the practices which make rum deinking a part of jury service and private detectlves as the custodians of a jury a permanent institution.

In years past Superintendént Fowler and the super- intendent before him ald the work of the secrotary and drew pay.

With the Christmas holidays behind them and with the preliminary ante-hollday plans completed, both houses will start in upon reconvening, with the intentlon of keeping their hands to the plow, to continue until “the crop is laid ‘by,” which It is now be- lieved will take place in the early summer. The senate is not so forward with Its work s 18 the house, and the former body may experience difficulty in finding some- thing to do during the first few days of its sitting. But the house calendar is a'- ready well filled, and as soon as .the formalities permit, that body will get down to serious business. Both houses will re- convene at 12 o'clock Tuesday, but the immediate announcement of the recent death of Senator McLaurin of Mississippl will resu’t In adjournment of both for the day out of respect to his memory. It is doubtful also whether there will be a quorum on the first meeting day, so that but little business would probably be transacted under any clrcumstances, Calendar Day in House.

Following the fortifications measure will come the urgent deficlency, the agricultural and the navy bills. Even the sundry civil and the leglélative bills are well blocked out in committee. Indeed appropriation legislation is further advanced In the house than ordinarily at this season, and it Is the opinion of the éxperts that the supply bills will be 50 turned qut by the committee as torender It possible for the house io glve almost coutinuous attention to (hem during the next two months.

The snate commitiees have not been so assiduous in their atlention to duty as have been the committees of the co-ordinate body, with the consequence that the senate calendar is completely barren. For the present, short daily ses- sion will be adjournments every week from Thursday untll Monday may be expected. Interest in Message. Much interest Is manifested In both houses in the two announcements that the president’s message on the Sherman anti- trust law and the resolutions of Senator Jones and Representative Humphrey pro- viding for an Investigation of the Interior department aud the forest service will be presented on Wednesddy, the first legis- lative day after reconvening. There Is division of opinion as to whether anything will be accomplished in the way of modifying the Sherman law during the present session, but everybody Is concerned over the terms of the president’s treatinent of the subject and his message will be read with unusual Interest. On the other hand, it is generally understood that the Jones and Humphrey resolutions will be adopted PAROLED CONVICT IS SHOT Harry Featherstone, with Long Police Record, Seriously Wounded by Chicago Officer.

LEGISLATION THAT IS NEEDED No Authority Exists for Leas for Mining Purposes Mining Lands—Indians in Civil Service, (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—(Special Corre- spondence.)—Robert G. Valentine, commis- sioner of Indian affairs, who succeeded Francls B, Leupp, Saturday made public his annual report relative to the conduct of the. affairs of the bureau since he was commissioned, June 19, 19%9. As the ad- ministration of this particular branch of the service changed hands In the last month the fiscal year, the events in Mr. Valentine's report fal Leupp's term Valentine frankly says he has prac- of recorded almost entirely within Mr. Mr., tically thus far in many matters endeav- ored merely to follow the Initiative in- augurated by his predecessor and patron. Commissioner Valentine, in his introduc~ tory remerks in his report, says: “As to the lines of polley which the bureau will follow, I prefer to let the coming year speak for itself; but here I would record the debt which I feel I owt to Commisstoner Leupp his having turned over to me a service to which he has contributed undying' qualitiés through his love of truth, his fearlessness in work- jng for the end as he saw it his un- bounded energy in handling detalls, and his intense personal loyalty both to the office staff and to the fleld force. These qualities in him have quickened the serv- ice In a way which will contribute dally to the success any successor might achieve. Extent of the Service, Tho Indian service is primarily educa- tional. It Is a great outdeor-indoor school, with the emphasis on the outdoor. ' The students in this school are 300,000 individ- uals, ranging in age from babes at the breast to old-men and women of the tribes, and with a range of characteristics which is indicated by no one fact perhaps better than that these 300,000 individuals speak about 260 fairly distinet dialects. ' The plant which composes the physical proper- ties of this school consists of an area of land nearly twice the size of the state of New York, or larger than the state of Missourl, scattered through twenty-six states, in areas ranging from a few hun- \dred gcres to some as large as the smal- ler states of the union. The funds to carry on and to be cared for in connection with this plant amount to approximately $35,000- 000, of which $62,000,000 belong to the trib approximately $10,000,000 are contributed by appropriations annually.
