INDIANS SEEK REDRESS Chief Xo-Shirt Will Carry Camplalnt to Washington. PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) As a result of a council of the Walla Walla and Cayuse Indians on the reservation. Chief No-Shirt, of the Walla Wallas, will leave in a few days for Washington to present some griev ances to the Indian Department. The Indians object to the opening of roads across the reservation for the benefit of the white stock men, who otherwise would be compelled to go a hundred miles out of their way In going to and from their Summer ranges. The Chief says he knows the Government did not order the roads opened, or they would have been fixed up long ago. The Indians also declare that many of the Indians were not given the money due them, at the time the last payment of Indtan money was made. They feel that the agents have been working against them in the interest of the local banks. The last payment AWAKE v: f 5N" Harry A. Meier, 12S7. is George H. Slmondu, ChrbnlU, So. 23 was made by Major McFatrtdge Just before he stepped out. SWEDEN STILL QUIET XO VIOLKJfCE REPORTED AXD STRIKE IS REDUCED. Government Forces Many Laborers to Retnrn to Places Food Becomes Cheaper. STOCKHOLM, Aug. 10. It still is Im possible to foresee the end of the strike, which has been in progress for some days. However, it is having little influence on the social life of the capital. Perfect order is maintained, and no sign is visible of the special measures taken to prevent outbreaks, though It Is known that the government Is keeping extra police and troops close at hand in case of an emer gency. Food is plentiful again and conditions are becoming normal. There has been no serious decline in the prices of securities on the bourse. Traffic in the city con tinues, the municipality having ordered the cabmen to resume work or forfeit their licenses. A strike of the railway men is Improbable, as the men fear they might lose their rights to pensions. From the main industrial centers throughout Sweden come reports of more or less complete resumption of work Most of the newspapers are Issuing small sized sheets. The merchants of Stockholm have an nounced their intention of running their delivery wagons, and it is expected the cab service will be resumed soon. For eign steamers are overcoming the strike by bringing with them their own steve dores. There has been a bl demonstration of 20,000 strikers at Gothenberg. In this city the labor leaders control all the vehicles. INDIANA GIRL HIS RUIN Indianapolis Yonth Steals Cash for Anto Ride. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.)

Today the voung forger was arraigned before judge Donworth In the Federal Court and he coolly admitted the theft. "Well, she Is a peach and worth It," was his rejoinder to the Sheriff. He does not express any sorrow, but laughs and Jokes with those about him, telling them of the many good times be enjoyed the past month.

SECOND MAN DROPS OUT John O'Brien, Spokane Police Com missioner, Resigns From Secret Order Because of Public Pressure in His City. , SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.) Police Commissioner John O'Brien has resigned from the Pan Tans because of public sentiment against officials belong ing to such an organization. The advisory board of the Federated Men's Clubs has demanded that Governor Hay and Mayor Pratt bring about a thorough Investigation of the Pan Tans. A communication authorized by the Pan Tans wherein 4hey defend their or ganization without going into details has been issued to the public and following the return of Governor Hay to Olympia comes the report that he will put the Pan Tan affair before the Legislature and .ask for an Investigation and in formation as to the conduct of the three Superior Court Judges implicated with the Police Justice in the Pan Tans. These are the developments of the day In the doings of the mysterious order, the revelation of whose secret workings to bring pressure to bear to secure ap pointive city and county positions for their "brothers," has shaken the city. City Commissioner Tuerke revealed their doings after being ousted because of failure to boost Chester Edwards and D. D. McPhee to police captaincies. The feeling throughout the city is that C. W. Tuerke spoke the truth in regard to the secret order. The Pan Tans' state ment issued to the public is signed by A. C. Edwards, president, and C. A. Piatt, secretary- The statement in part follows: "The order of Panta Pantois is a secret and protective fraternity in the highest and best sense of these words. It is de signed to be universal and purposes to Institute councils In all parts of the world. It obligations and teachings are conducive to best citizenship and upright manhood. WTe have been maliciously slandered and msrepresented by a Judas whose expulsion was voted unanimously by 50 members, not because he did not support McPhee or Edwards, but for the reason that he has been guilty of false hood, treachery and deceit, and so vio lated his solemn oath and proved himself unworthy of membership. Our organiza tion will be maintained and work carried on as in the past. We offer no apology for our existence and Governor Hay is cordially invited to investigate our order In such a manner as he deems proper, and we heartily tender our support to any such investigation as he may see fit to make. "A. C. EDWARDS, Chairman, "C. A. PLATT, Secretary, "Council No. 1, Order of Panta Pantois." DONKEYS ARE ACROBATS Long-Eared Animals Perform With Famous torch Family. There are no less than seven families of acrobats with Ringling Brothers' cir cus this year, not to mention the indi vidual performers and the teams of two and three. Famous among these seven families are the Lorches, who are seen for the first time in Amrica. They use a trio of wonderfully trained donkeys In their act. The Pacheco family Is another troupe renowned In Europe. Others are the Montrose troupe, the Belford family, Patty Brothers, who walk up and down stairs on their heads, the Marnello iMarnltz family of upside-down bell ringers, the Prosit trio. Horton and Llnder. the Cornellis, the Mardo trio and the Livingstons. The list of riders has on It such names as Daisy Hodgini, Emma Stick ney, Josephine Clark, Lulu Davenport, the Three Duttons. Clark Brothers, the McCrees, the Hobsons. John Agle and Florence Harris.

The two Jackson troupes of bicycle riders, Roblidello, the wonder ful wire walker, and Kerslake and his pigs are a few more that attract. In the way of striking features the programme holds no less than seven, which is remarkable in itself inasmuch as the ordinary big show considers it self lucky if It has one. The Arthus Saxon Trio, any one of whom is stronger than Samson, are one of the portations that head the long bMl. The greatest animal act in the history of the world, presented by the Schuman Brewery horses, is another importation. It is the greatest example of horse- cul ture ever achieved. The horses drink from glasses, skate and roU each other about in huge beer barrels.' An automobile that shoots down a steep runway, leaps high in air and turns over twice in space before land ing is another of the sensations, and tiiis most daring of all acts is accom plished by a mere girl. The show will exhibit In Portland on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 24 and 25, exactly as It was seen in New York City at the opening of this season. AMERICA IS LIKE ROME Italian Historian Draws Close Parallel. PARIS. Aug. 10. Concluding a series of Impressions of America, which he had gained during a recent visit to that country. Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian, finds that the anti-plutocratic movement Is essentially a struggle be tween the old traditions of the Puritan democracy and civilization, gold, luxury and pleasure a repetition under modern and more complicated form of the strug gle that rent Rome for three centuries. The rapidity of development, lightning changes in customs and the creation of a multiplicity of new needs, he says, eat up large earnings of the people, who, though they are living better and larger than the Europeans, unfortunately have not acquired the habit of saving. "Industrialism." said Signor Ferrero, "seems to be destroying a part of the old-time America of Franklin and Wash ington, and creating an America less American than that of the past."
