He had been dead for hours and the loft was filled with escaping gas from & broken pipe just above lils head. There were no marks of violence, Nathanson failed to roturn home last| night. \This morning Mrs. Nathanson calied up her husband's pariner, lsaac H. @old. Gold, the only person except Nathanson, who had a key to the loft, opened the door. A rush of gas met him, but before he had time to close the door | again, Mrs. Nathanson saw her husband | dead In the chalr, Body Securely Tied. Minute examination showed that, the body had been thrice wound with the rope under the arms and bound to the back of the chalr. Both lexs were fast-| ened to the legw of the chair.

The chalr had been backed up against a pillar and the loose ends of the knot that bound the body to the frame had been knotted again behind the plilar. Thus the body was bound to the chalr and the chalr bound to the plilar. On the floor were a few 1006 colns. There Wwas no money in the pockets, one of which bad been turned Ineide dut, and Nathan- son's key (o the loft was also missing. His desk, which adjoins his partner's, was opened and littered with torn and crum- pled papers in the wildest confusion. On a sample table was a woman's fur-lined kid glove, torn and partly turned inside out. The safe was locked. Near it lay Nathan- son's hat and above it the gas lamp had been broken. Nathanson, so far as is known had no reason to commit suicide. He was 40 years old and In the best of health and spirits. His business was solvent, he had ample outside resources and he lived happily with his wite and daughter. The police detained Gold, his partner, on the strength of what the police say Is a disagreement between his own story of his movements last night and that told by his wite. However, Gold was released in $1,000 ball. REPORT ON INDIAN AFFAIRS (Continued from First Page.) tablished by executive order. There are several such reservations rich in mineral and ohe in particular in Arizona contain- ing large deposits of tufa stone, whieh it Is hoped congress will by appropriate leg- lelation enable the Indians to make bene- ticial use of. K “Under existing law neéither the depart- ment nor the president can authorige the sale of mature green timber.on Indian res- crvations or allotments, except in a few cases under special laws. The waste in overripe timber on Indian reservations is estimated to be $1,000,00 annually. General atthority for the sale of this class of tm- ber should be granted by congress by ap- propriate amendment of the &ct of Febru- Ary 16, 1889 (% Stat. L., 673). “In order to conserve the resources of the Indian réservations, a bill such as that which passed the senate on March-, 1508 (S. 8604), should be reintroduced, authoriz- Ing the mecretary of the interior to reserve all reservolr sites on Indlan reservations and all lands adjacent to falls and rapids for power sites before the surplus lands on such reservations are opened to settle- ment. “‘Heretofore special acts of congress have been necessary to secure payment to allot- tees of the amounts paid into the treasury on account of sale, cutting or removal of timber from or damage to allotted land; with the result that long delays have oc curred and injustice has been done before Indlans entitled to recelve money from dep- reliations committed upon their lands have been paid. General legislation should be enacted authorizing the United States treasurer to place to the credit of the al lottees the amounts due them subject to withdrawal under the direction of the sec- retary of the interior.

In regard to the employment of the In- dlan In the government service and by private corporations and Individuals the commission say “Indians &re given the preference of ap- pointment to all positions in the Indian service which they are competent to fill. Graduates of the larger Indian schools are not infrequently, on successful noncom- petitive examinations for various positions, such as teacher, clerk, seamstress, farmer, ete, given suitable appointments. Some have risen to be superintendents and have been successful. Many of those in sub- ordinate positions have galned for them- selves the commendation of their superior officers; others have merited and recelved promotion. The majority of minor posi- tions at schools and agencies are excepted from examination and many are filled by Indians. It is while serving in such o pacities that some of the Indians moquire the experience and skill which fit them for mere responsible places. Of the 5091 em- ployes of the Indlan service 1,662 are Th- dia “An unexpected development growing out of the desertion of thelr reservation in Utah by a band of the Utes and their going to South Dakota was that, after they left the tract of land on which they were tem- porarily located in South Dakota, they were induced by Mr. Dagenett to g0 to work on the Burlington 1allroad in South Dakota.

The state finance board at a meeting de- cided to put a stop to this negligence, and adopted a resolution requiring all such depositary banks to remit the monthly interest to the treasurer_on the first day of each month, and that the same time send to the governor a statement of their daily balances for the previous month, And it was further resolved that failure on the part of any of the depositary banks to comply with the provisions of the reso- lution, up to the fifth on any month should mean the withdrawal of state deposits from the offending bank. The requests to be made on banks of deposit are greater than the money to sUpply those who desive to get into the list, and failure on the part of the banks now on the list will mean that they will be dropped and some of the others given & chance. The board also adopted a motion that it would accept personal bonds on the part of depositary banks, wherever the bonds were drawn and justified under the provisions of ‘the depositary law.

GOMPERS CALLS FOR FUNDS Appeal Asks for Cash to Aid Fight on Steel Combine. MONEY TO SPECIAL TREASURER bers of Ameriean Federation of Labor is Asked to Make a Subscription. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Officers of the American Federation of Labor tonight Is- | aued a call on its 1,640,000 members to sub- | seribe to A fund with which to wage a fight on the “Steel trust”” The call ar- raigns the eorporation as inimical both to lahor and the country and as a violator of the laws. The sum of $154,000 Is to be raised at onoe. The steel corporation is termed “A bold and daring violator of the laws. Further calls for more money will be issued as the fight progresses. This actlon was taken as the result of the conference held in Pittsburg on De- cember 13 and 14 between the Amalga- mated Assoclation of Iron and Steel Work- ers, the Tinplate Workers' Protective a: | sociation and the Longshoremen's and Scamen's unions. Samuel Gompers, pres dent of tho American Federation of Labor, was present at the meeting. Directors Sign Call. The call is signed by Mr. Gomper: Morrison, secretary of. the federation, and James Duncan, John Mitchell, James O'fonnell, D. A. Hayes, William D, Huber, Joseph F. Valentire, John R. Alpine, H. B Perham and John B. Lennon, directors. Although the appeal is made only by the federation, the funds will not be turned into the federation treasury. All subserip- tions are to be sent to John Williams, who has opened headquarters in the House bullding, Pittsburg. In his statement, Frank Mr. Gompers in un- sparing language assalled the so-called “steel trust’ for its aggression of labor and charges it with conspiring against pro- duction, preventing an unmanipulated mar- ket and striving for the elimination of a free press. He a'so charges that the cor- poration pays dividends on many millions of watered stock and that Its finar methods are corrupt and indefensible, Attitade Toward Labor. But, President Gompers continues, the “erowning criminality’’ of the trust is its attitude toward labor. He espccially arralgns the so-called “profit sharing” plan, by which the com- pdvy gives its employes an opportunity to obtain an interest in the vast business This plan, Mr. Gompers contends, is * transparent deceit through which a smal minority of its employes are sought to be bribed to help in dally sweating the vast majority.” The labor leader furthermore Intimates that these profit sharing employes are carefylly selected and that they are in nearly every case men who are given to discouraging the agitation of their fellows for better living and working conditions. The stee. cerporation at Christmas was reported to have glven away $1,000000 in gifts to its employes and to have offered both the common and preferred steel shares to those who cared to invest in them at a little lower than the market quotations.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Jan. 2.—(Special.) —It is conservatively estimated by those who have made Investigation that there yet remains in the corn field of South Dakota at least 20,000,000 bushels of corn, and sore place the amount at as high as 30,000,000 bushels. Although South Dakota had fine fall weather, the farmers had so much to do that they were unable to gather thelr corn before winter set in. The result is that corn fields have remained partially buried under the deep snow and farmers have been unable to enter their corn fislds with wagons and gather such part of the crop as not gathered before winter set in. Thaws have been few and far between, one stormy period following after another in rapid succedsion. ‘With corn at 60 cents per hushel, and many millions of dollars’ worth remaining in the snow- covered fields throughout the state, the only hope of the farmers being able to gather it is for a prolonged thaw to come and melt the greater part of the &now which now remains upon the ground. —— Insane Man Ardent Lover.
