INDIAN BOARD UNDER FIRE
Dawes Commission Charged -With
Wrongly Dealing in Oil Lands.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2S. Justice An
derson, of the Supreme Court of the DIs
trlct of Columbia, rendered an opinion
today in the injunction proceedings of
the Delaware Indians against Secretary
Hitchcock and the Dawes Indian Commis
sion, dissolving the temporary injunction
heretofore granted. The case Involves the
.Tight of the Secretary to pass on the 157,
000 acres of land In the Cherokee Na
tion segregated for the use of the Dela
wares. The Indians alleged that the Sec
retary Is without authority to approve
or disapprove of the segregation, as It
bos been approved by the Indians in
terested, and asked that he -be enjoined
against taking such action, pendfng the
adjudication of the same question by the
Court of Claims.
Soon after the case was filed the court
granted a temporary injunction, but
Judge Anderson today dissolved It Soon
after the decision was rendered Attor
ney Walter S. Logan filed a petition In
the Court of Claims, on behalf of the
Delawares, against the United States
asking that damages be "awarded In the
sum of $1,000,000 because of expenses to
which the Indians have been subjected
because of the necessity of defending
title to their lands.
In this petition, they make some sensa
tional statements. One of these accusa
tions is to the effect that members of
the Dawes Commission are interested in
oil leases and companies holding leases
made upon their lands by Cherokees
claiming title.
Mentioning the members of the com
mittee, the committee alleges that not
withstanding the lands have been prop
erly segregated, "the Dawes Commission,
disregarding their official duties as agents
of the United States toward your peti
tioners, have conspired, confederated and
are conspiring and confederating together
with the said companies, to cheat and
defraud your petitioners so . as to gain
possession of their lands for themselves
or for their said companies, under . pre
tense of alloting-said lands, in their offi
cial capacity as said Dawes Commission,
to divers persons, who are willing to
enter Into contracts of lease and sale
with representatives of said trust and
land companies. In -which the' members
of said Dawes Commission are' Inter
ested." The Secretary of the Interior is charged
with unlawful acts to defraud the Indians
such as that of encouraging; white men
who hae married squaws to make claim
to Delaware lands.

HAS SEEN PARTS OF
MRS. MARY RAMSAY WOOD.
HILLSBORO, Or., Sept 24. (Special.) There is no longer any doubt as to tho
exact age of Mary Ramsay Wood, of this city. The old family Bible, dating back
Into the 18th century, has been located In Missouri, and It contains the registry
of the birth of Mary Ramsay. Mrs. "Wood was born In Knoxville, Tenn., May 20,
178T, making her age 11C years 4 months and 5 days. Her father, Richard Ram
say, was one of Knqxvllle's first brick masons. In 1SS3 she crossed the plains,
riding a horso the greater part of the Journey and this at the advanced" age of CC
years. Mrs. "Wood Is Quite feeble, but occasionally grows reminiscent and tells of
the hardships of the early days In Tennessee. Many times she heard President
Polk when he was campaigning as Congressman "In her native state, and she.was
well acquainted with R. Roulstone.-who established the Knoxville. Gazette In 1703.
Speaking of President Polk, who was a great Walker tariff advocate, she said:
"Polk was a fine talker, and had a splendid grasp of public affairs. When he
was defeated for re-election as Governor of the state, you bet I was the sickest
Democrat in Dixie. But I knew he would come out all right, and when he got
the nomination lor the Presidency we knew that Polk was Just as good as elected."
Grandma Wood lives with her daughter, Mrs. C. B. Reynolds, a young woman
of but 73 years. Every man, woman and child of pioneer families knows the old
lady, and pioneers of the 50s say that she looks about like she did 50 years ago.

count of this rumor the local company of
state troops was mobilized at the Armory,
and some extra policemen were put on.
An attempt Is being made to put the

this morning after an attack had been
made on It Two cars were sent out late
this afternoon heavily guarded. Inas
much as most of the rioters were not In
the streets at the time this trial was
made, no disorder occurred.
Mob Numbered About 3000.
It Is estimated that there are 2000 men In
the Soo tonight, and these are reinforced
by all the Idle rabble in town. The local
police force is being strengthened by all
the deputies who can be found, each man
being given a badge and a revolver, and
ordered to use the latter whenever neces
ed against attack.
Much feeling has been aroused by the
shooting of two Frenchmen by the police
during the trouble this morning. The
rioters declare the officers used their re
volvers when It was unnecessary. Neither
of the men is fatally hurt
The mob threatens an attack upon po
lice headquarters, with the view of effect
ing the release of all the men who have
been arrested. Both this building and that
occupied by the fire department are guard
ed against attack.
The problem today's developments has
created Is beyond the solution of any of
the company officials on the ground. Ap
parently their only hope is that the anger
of the mob will spend Itself, and the men
will get out of town by degrees.
The ferry-boat Is not allowed to land on

employes off the boat.
MOB IS WELL ARMED.
Hardware Store Js Broken Into and
Arms and Ammunition Seized.
SAULT STE. MARIE." Mich., Sept 28.
Almost every man In the mob. terrorizing
this city Is armed. The hardware store
of W. H. Plummer & Co. was broken
Into last night and every gun and revol
ver In stock was stolen, together with all
the ammunition that could be found.
The particular grievance which seems
to have Inflamed the men to acts of dis
order was the promises of pay today,
when the men who made the promises,
the employes believe, knew they could
not bo fulfilled. Immediately after a
meeting this forenoon the men went n
a body to the office of the company, de
termined to get their money or get "sat
isfaction," as they put It On the doors
of the offices, which were guarded by po
lice, the following notice was posted:
"Officers and Employes of the Consoli
dated Lake Superior Company: The pres
ident and directors in New York have
been unable to raise the money to pay
J today the wages and salaries now due
-rthe men and officers of the company.

morning Indicate that our president ana
directors have a plan to raise the money
necessary to not only pay tho men, but
to start up the works that seems to prom
ise success. The plan has the indorsement
and promised support of Sir Wilfrid Lau
rler. Premier of 'Canada, and the Hon.
G. W. Ross, Premier of Ontario, and it
Is expected to produce the necessary
money Inside of 30' days. While we regret
very much the inability of the company
to pay today, the fact remains that there
is no money to nay with. There seems.
to be only one thing left for them to do,
and that is to accept offers to work else
where, leave their checks with friends,
responsible attorneys or business roen, to
collect for them -when the company pays.
Bear irr mind that your wages will have
to be paid ultimately and constitute a
just-obllgatlon against the company,
whlcn all the property and other assets
will be liable for."
This notice, instead of allaying the ex
citement tf the crdwd. estimated to num
ber 1500. made them furious, and despite
the efforts of the police, stones and other
missiles soon filled the air, directed at the
windows of the office buildings, Inside of

OREGON IS CHANGING
Forestry Officials Find Re
serves Are Now Wanted,
ALL INTERESTS FALLING IN LINE
H. D. Langille Returns to Washing
ton From "n Summer's Worlc In
Oregon, and Will Probably
Recomniend Withdrawal.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Sept. 2S. "Contrary to what ap
pears to be a popular belief, there is a
steadily growing sentiment "among the
people of Oregon In favor of forest re
serves," said H. D. Langille, the Oregon
man who Is now Forest Inspector In the
Bureau of Forestry, and who has just re
turned from a Summer spent In examin
ing lands that have been withdrawn In
that state.
"I spent a large part of the Summer con
ferring with people living In- the vicinity
of various withdrawals," he continued,
'and I find they generally Indorse the re
serve policy, and want more reserves
established In Oregon. I talked to farmers,
to lumbermen, to stockmen, and. In fact.
to all classes, and the overwhelming sent
iment favorable to the reserve nollcv
as very gratifying."
Mr. Langille spent several weeks In the
Rogue River country and the remainder of
the season in the vicinity of the other
withdrawals In Oregon, save that In the
Blue Mountains, which he visited a year
ago. In Southwestern Oregon he found
the people divided, half favoring a re
serve, half opposing. In Eastern Oregon,
the sentiment was strongly in favor of
new reserves at all localities where with
drawals have been made.
Ho believes the examinations made this
year by the various representatives of the
Bureau of Forestry who have been in
Oregon will furnish sufficient data to
guide tho Secretary of the Interior in
marking the Nboundarles of the proposed
new reserves.
Langille Is known to favor the creation
of the Blue Mountain reserve, substan
tlally along the lines of the withdrawal.
after excluding a number of tracts evi
dently entered for speculative purposes.
'He is also believed to favor a carefully
established reserve in the Rogue River
district, and no doubt at all other places
in Eastern Oregon where withdrawals
have been made. However, he declined
to discuss his forthcoming reports as to
details or conclusions.
He justified the large withdrawals that
have been made pending examinations,
explaining that they have been the means
of "shutting off countless speculative en
tries that would have been made this
Summer In the hope of securing lieu base
when reserves were created. He says
he himself was approached scorse of times
by land speculators who sought to obtain
Information that would assist them In
locating on lands likely to be reserved,
and other representatives of the depart
ment were constantly beset In a similar
manner by the land sharks, who are not
alone confining their operations to timber
entries, but are even making homesteads
and desert entries where they believe they
can profit In the end.
ALMOST SURE TO BE DEBARRED.
Wood Was Right When He Sold
Moody Had Been After Him.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU Wash
ington, "Sept 28. As a result of charges
that were recently lodged against him oy
pension examiners, T. A. Wood, of Port
land, grand commander of the Indian
War Veterans, will undoubtedly be dis
barred from practice before the Interior
Department as soon as full reports of
the examiners are received In Washing
ton. There is no need of hasty action,
however, for while Wood Is under bond
he cannot proceed with these cases.
That the charges will be sustained little
doubt Is felt In the Pension Office.
Deputy Commissioner Davenport says
the best examiners In the service 'have
been at work on the Wood case, and It Is
well known that the Government does not
ask for a man's arrest until there Is
sufficient evidence to make It reasonably
certain that conviction will follow.
Wood's arrest Is the result of a long
and systematic effort that has been made
to run down charges that he was pursu
ing illegal practices In Indian War casc3.
He has been shrewd enough to cover up
his trail, and It is said that his has been
one of the most difficult cases handled in
some time.
There was manifest concern at the
Pension Office early In August at tho
publication In The Oregonlan of a Wash
ing dispatch telling of the investiga
tion into the practices of Wood, as it
was feared the premature announcement
might interfere with tho examiners'
work. Some officiaft were afraid Wood
might take the hint and disappear. The
announcement that Wood had fallen Into
the clutches of the law was,-therefore,
received enthusiastically In Washington,
and the department Is willing to allow
the case to rest In the hands of the men
who have worked up the evldonce against
the, Portland attorney. It might incl
dentally be stated that Wood spoke truly
when, In reply to The Oregonlan's story.
he stated that ex-Congressman Moody
had been after him. Moody has long been
cognizant of Wood's methods, and it was
very largely facts furnished by Moody,
or through him, that aided the depart
ment in making up Its case.
PORTLAND PLEASED HIM.
