INDIANS DN WARPATH
Crazy Horse Heads Band of
Outlaws In Frontier Trouble.
First Real Indian Uprising For Years
Started Last Thursday When At
tempt Was Made to Arrest Cattle
Thieves Marshal and Deputy Killed.
Desultory Fighting Between Special
Officers and Indians Chief's Son
Forced to Tell Father's Whereabouts.
Five companies of Oklahoma militia
Harched Sunday night against Crazy
Snake's band of Creek Indians, half
breeds and negroes, entrenched in the
Hickory hills, seven miles from Hen-
rletla. A battle is regarded as inevit
able, as the heavily armed troops set
out either to capture or exterminate
the murderous band, which since
Thursday has caused the death of six
men, the wounding of many others
and brought about a condition of ter
ror in Henrietta, Pierce and all the
surrounding country.
Crazy Snake is in personal command.
This was established by the testimony
choked out of his college-bred son by
means of a now inch-rope, loung
Harjo was strung up by the deter
mined deputies until nearly dead.
Then he gasped out that his father
was in command, named the Indian
who killed the deputies, told the offi
cers how to trail the band, and did
everything which a stoical red man is
supposed not to do when in the hands
of his enemies.
This first real Indian uprising of
years has held this region on edge for
three dnyb. It had been plotted and
nrenared for two months. It broke out
last Thursday when several deputy
sheriffs went to Henrietta to arrest
necro cattlethieves. They were fired
on by negro and half-breed friends of
the criminals. In a fight which en
sued three negroes were killed and
five wounded, according to the official
reports, although it is thought many
more Indians were wounded, as scores
of shots Mere fired at close quarters.
This clash resulted In 41 arrests.
In the meantime Crazy Snakes fol
lowers determined on an aggressive
camimlKn. Saturday night part of his
band was run to cover by deputies In
a search for leaders or Thursdays
fluht. Marshal Baum of Checotah and
Deputy Odom of Eufala paid their
lives as a price. Governor nasKen
then ordered out the niilltla and the
word was passed out that the band
must be captured or killed.
SOCIETY WOMAN'S SUICIDE
Tragic Death of Mrs. Pierre Lorlllard,
Jr., In Washington.
Wearv of society life and face to
face, as she believed, with years of
physical suffering, Mrs. Pierre Lorrtl
lard. Jr., aged 49, wife of the tobacco
mnenate. committed suicide by as-
tihvxlrMon at her home near the fash
ionable Dupont circle in Washington.
Her tragic death has shocked the first
social circles of the capital as nothing
else In years.
In suite of the coroner s certificate
of death by suicide, members of the
family declare that Mrs. Lorlllard died
of heart failure. The death was made
more dramatic by occurring only a
few hours cfter Mr. and Sirs. Lorlllard
had been guests of Mrs. Townsend, on
Massachusetts avenue, at a dinner
elven In honor of Lady Paget. In
fact, It Is believed that rs soon as Mrs.
Lorlllard arrived at her home at 2030
Hillver nlace. shortly after midnight,
she began to prepare for her death.
The Ixrlllard3 have lived at Hlllyer
nlace. which is only a stone's throw
from Dupont circle, and in the heart
of the fashionable community Detween
Dupont and Sheridan circles, since
January. Immediately preceding that
time, Mrs. Lorlllard was in Europe and
while in France consulted an eminent
nhvslclan In regard to her ailment.
The family has been prominent each
summer for several years past at Tux
edo Park, and they have spent their
winters in Washington.
BRYAN CALLS 23 TO ACCOUNT
Demands Explanation From Democrats
Voting For Speaker Cannon.
W. J.Bryan has praise for the Repub
lican Insurgents of the national house,
and he Indorses the leadership of
Champ Clark, but Mr. Bryan has no
good words for the 23 Democrats who
voted with the Republican majority
against the proposed revision of the
rules.
lu fact, he believes, according to an
editorial which appeared in last week's
issue of his Commoner, that It will be
well for the Democratic constituents
of the bolting Democrats to keep their
eyes upon these 23 members and learn
Just what reason led them to Join the
Republicans upon so Important a
question. Mr. Bryan says they voted
with Speaker Cannon, and they must
Justify their position,
GAIN UNDER COMMISSION
Des Monies Has a Surplus Where
Deficit Formerly Appeared.
The first year of the Des Moines
commission plan of municipal govern
ment Is completed and the treary
shows a surplus of $20,000 on hund
over and above expenditures. In the
year previous under the old system
there was a deficit of $180,000. Advo
cates of the plan therefore assert that
the new system has saved the city
over $200,000. during the last twelve
months.
ROOSEVELT ORDER REVOKED
President Taft Directs That Marlnei
Be Restored to Ship Duty.
The last vestige of the Roosevelt or
der taking marines off the battleship!
and cruisers of the United States navy,
was swept away when President
Taft, after the matter -had been con
sidered at a cabinet meeting, directed
that an order be Issued restoring the
marines to exactly the same dutiea
that, they performed prior to their be
ing ordered ashore.
After congress had placed a provis
ion In the navy hill to the effect that
a certain percentage of the marina
corps should be assigned to ship duty,
an order was issued the day before
President Roosevelt went out of of
fice, restotlng the marines to ships,
but placing them under the orders ol
the captains of the vessels on which
they were to serve.
Under the old order of things the
marines were given specific duties.
One of these was to fight certain guns
of the secondary battery. The order
placing them under the direction ol
the ship's captain made It possible to
assign the marines to any sort of duty
and to deprive them of fighting any
part of the ship's battery. In restor
ing the old regulations, the president
acted upon the recommendation of the
general board of the navy.
BILL TO AID THE BABIES
Measure to Prevent Landlords Barring
Families With Children.
A movement In the Illinois legisla
ture to remove the embargo placed
upon children by the owners of flat
buildings and to save the heads of
families from being driven from plllat
to post when they try to find new hab
itations for their broods, has been
started by Frank J. McNichols of Chi
cago. He has Introduced a bill In the
house making It "unlawful and opposed
to public policy" for the owner or
agent of any dwelling house, flat or
apartment to require as a condition
for renting that the tenant has no chil
dren under 14 years In his family.
The measure also mnkes it a misde
meanor for an owner or agent to in
sert In any lease or agreement a con
dition terminating the lease "If there
are or ahull be any such children in
the family" of the tenant. A fine of
from $50 to $100 for each offense Is
the punishment the bill provides for
violations.
Mr. McNichols, who lives on the
West Side In Chicago, is a bachelor,
but some of his friends are wondering
when he Is going to be married.
QUARANTINE RAISED
State and Federal Restrictions Re
moved From Western New York.
U. A. Pearson, state commissioner of
agriculture, announced that the Btate
and federal quarantines have been
raised from the western counties of
New York state. From Nov. 21 to
Dec. 12, 520 cattle, 212 Bheep and
246 swine were slaughtered and buried
In lime, the appraised value of which
was $2-1 ,37 S. Expense Incident to tWd
slaughter amounted to $6,15S and of
these amounts tho federal government
will pay two-thirds and the state one
third. The services and expenses of
veterinarians and laborers employed
by the state and other expenses will
cost an additional $15,000.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wis

SECONDWIFEWANTSDIVORCE
Alleges That Artist Earle of Affinity
Fame Is of Unsound Mind.
Ferdinand Pinney Earle, artist, poet
and exponent of the "affinity" idea,
was served with papers In an ac
tion brought by Mrs. Earle, formerly
MUs Julia Kuttner of New York city,
for annulment of their marriage. The
papers were served on Earle at his
home near Monroe by Sheriff Decker
of Orange county, N. Y.
Mrs. Earle alleges that Earle Is of
unsound mind and was so t the time
of their marriage, although she did not
become convinced of this until about
Jan. 12 of this year.
Furthermore, she says, Earle was
incapable of legally contracting mar
riage because at the time he had a
wife living, to whom he was married
In Paris in 1!)03. The plaintiff at the
time believed Earle's assertion that
he had secured a divorce from a court
of competent Jurisdiction, but she Is
now convinced that the first marriage
Is still valid and in full force.
COUNTERVAILING OIL DUTY
Mr. Vreeland Says It Is Retained In
Interest of Producers, Not Refiners.
Admission by Mr. Vreeland of New
York that he was to some extent re
sponsible for the retention In the
Payne tariff bill of the countervailing
duty on oil was the climax of the day's
discussion of the tariff in the house.
Mr. Vreeland hud sat for some time
and heard various Insinuations that
that duty, which some have character
ized simply as a "joker," was to be
levied solely lu the Interest of the
Standard Oil company. This he de
nied and explained that his action was
In response to requests from thousands
of his oil producing constituents and
In behalf of 500,000 others engaged In
the same business. The debate on the
oil schedule called forth some bitter
crltltm of the Standard Oil company.
D U Tl ES 0 N N EC ESS IT! ES
Should Be Lowered, Is Presi
dent Taft's View.
Favors an Inheritance Tax Because It
It Easily Collected and Comes From
Unearned Money Prefers a Stamp
Tax to Imposition of Duties on Food
stuffsMr. Barrett Points Out Bad
Effects of Proposed Countervailing
Duty on Coffee.
Washington, March 30. President
Taft, It Is stated, intends to leave all
congressional matters to congress and
does not Intend to dictate to that body
frhat It shall do. At the same time he
takes advantage of the calls made upon
him by senators ard representatives
to state anew, in response to their re
quests for suggestions, hla own position
and the policy to which he believes
the Republican party Is committed.
Representative Hlnshaw after his
Interview said that while he was not
at liberty to quote the president he
felt sure that the chief executive would
not object to the statement that he fa
vors the lowering cf duties on Import
ant necessaries of life.
Growing Treasury Deficit.
President Taft, It Is said, believes
that the system of taxation to be
adopted to meet the growing deficiency
In the treasury should be one calcul
ated! to cause the least friction. U Is
for this reason that he strongly favors
the Inheritance tax Idea. The collec
tion of such a tax Is easy and comes
from unearned money. The fact that
several of the states have gotten ahead
of the national government In Adopt
ing the Idea Is the only drawback to
the scheme. The government's adop
tion of the principle would mean
double taxation In some states and
might cause some friction between the
national and state governments. This
Is the argument made to the president
against It.
The president docs not believe that
a stamp tax would be a great burden
upon the people. A stamp tax at this
time would not go to the extent of tho
war tax imposed In 1 80S. Such a tax
would be far better, It Is declared at
the White House, than the Imposition
of such a tax or duty on foodstuffs as
would cause unrest and anxiety on the
part of the general public.
President Taft has let it be known
that he approves the Payne bill In prin
ciple and that he believes more sched
ules In the Dlngley tariff should be re
vised downward than upward If any
should go upward at all.
President Taft does not share the
general belief that, the senate Is op
posed to the principle of a maximum
and minimum tariff as proposed by the
Payne bill and he appears to be confi
dent of the ultimate outcome.
Countervailing Duty on Coffee.
Mr. Barrett presented to the presi
dent his views as to the effect of the
proposed new tariff bill on the export
trade of the United States with Latin
America, with especial reference to the
proposed countervailing duty on cof
fee. He said he believed that the Im
position of this tariff and a further
tariff on the raw products of South
America which are not. produced In
this country will set at nought all the
recent efforts to build up an Increased
trade with Southern republics.
Brazil, It Is declared, with an annual
foreign commerce valued at $.rn0,000,
000, feels that the new tariff bill
strikes a vital blow at her prosperity
and practlcallv dictates to her, Mr.
Barrett says, how she ought to raise
her own revenue, In that it declares
that a duty on coffee Is to be collected
in the United States provided that the
country of Its origin applies an export
tax.
"When it Is understood," said Mr.
narrett, "that Brazil Is absolutely de
pendent upon Its export tax on cof
fee for Its revenue; that such a tax
has been Imposed for years without
objection upon the part of the grow
ers or buyers, nnd that now In some
cases it Is guaranteed as security for
foreign loans, it will be seen that
Brazil cannot possibly remove Its ex
port, tax except by great embarrass
ment and International complications."

Trenton, Mo.. March 30. Whiles

MRS. BOYLE MAY ESCAPfl
Her Prosecution Not Eagerly Desired
by Mr. Whitla, It I Said.
Mercer, Pa., March 30. The pre
liminary hearing and safe return to
the Mercer jail cf James H. Boyle and
the rumor that his woman companion
may entirely escape prosecution ai.t
soon regain her liberty, are the de
velopments In the Whitla kidnaping
case.
No one but James Boyle had any
fenrs for his safety when he was tak
en to Sharon for arraignment, but he
wns terribly frightened.
He was scarcely able to murmur the
words waiving a hearing In the court
room.
The opinion Is spreading that Mrs.
Hoyle will not be prosecuted, but will
very soon be quietly eliminated from
the case and allowed to depart. There
Is said to be no local proof whatever
to connect her with the abduction and
as she absolutely refuses to aid the
local officials in the slightest, the sup
position Is that she will soon be free.
TMs Is borne out by the delay In ar
raigning her.
It is said her prosecution Is not
eagerly des ired by Mr. Whitla.
No Chance to Get $25,000 Ball.
Sharon, Pa., March 30, It required
but a few minutes for the preliminary
hearing of James H. Boyle, charged
with the abduction of Willie Whitla.
Two questions and answers made up
the proceedings.
"What Ib your name?'' asked Justice
S. S. Gilbert.
"James II. Boyle," was the reply.
"Do you want a hearing on the
charge of abduction now?"
"Not at this tlni"," he replied, and
the hearing was over.
Ball war, fixed ot $2.".000, which It
Is said Boyle has no chance of secur
ing and the prisoner was returned to
the Jail at Mercer on the first train.
It Is stated Mrs. Boyle will not be
brought here for a hearing at all.
The statement that she was Helen
McDermott Is doubted here from the
fact that not one of the McDermott
family hns extended her any aid so
far as the public knows or put In an
appearance since her arrest.
SUFFRAGE LEADER BUSY
Mrs. Catt, Head of the Movement,
Speaks to German Women.
Berlin, March 30. In an effort to
rouse the women of Germany to great
er Interest In the worldwide movement
for woman suffrage Mrs. Carrie Chap
mnn Catt, the president of the Inter
national Woman Suffrage Alliance,
spoke today to a great moss meeting
of women in this city.
Mrs. Cntt's appearance here was
part of her program leading to the
alliance meeting in London the latter
part of next month. She has been
touring Germany nnd parts of Austria
Hungary in behalf of the suffrage
cause nnd reports gains in many sec
tions. The suffrage movement Is backward
in Germany, owing to laws which
have long debarred women fro po
litical acitivlty of any sort. The cuf
frage eaiioe has heretofore been suit
ported only by the Social Democratic
party, which makes equnl suffrage for
both sexes one of Its regular platform
planks.
