It constrained to admlnMer a se

ment officials who are director In
the Panama railroad. In a letter to
the president accompanying the re
ports of the canal cnmmifnlon and
president of the railroad, Which were
sent to congress todav. Two particu
lar transactions failed to meet the
secretary's approval:
In the selling of railroad bonds. It
appears the directors of the road, to
meet obligations, decided to sell 62S
one-thousand dollar bonds, e,nd did so
without consulting either Taft or
Roosevelt. The secretary ays:
"This policy Is a doubtful one. Jt
should not have been done without
first consulting higher authority."
Taft, by direction of the president
has ordered Shonts to repurchase
the Imiidn, which he did. Tuft says:
"The executive officers or the road
have been advised of the errors, and
hereafter will not ait similarly until
lifter consultation."

sition by the advice of counsel, but
we think that In such mutters they
should consult hlRher authority. I
have so advised these ofrlcliili In or

principle In the future."
Taft lava stress upon the good mo

that they exceeded their authority.

lcvtlsfnn Sheriff Suy Indians Can't
. Have Liquor.
Lcwlston, Jan. S. The sheriff's of
fice Is determined to arrest, under
the stale law, uny person against
whom cnmplulnt Is made that such
person has sold whiskey to Indians.
The federal law, relative to the In
troduction of liquor on the reserva
tion and the sale of liquor to Indians,
has ben declured unconstitutional by
the United States circuit court of ap
peals and the matter has gone to the
supreme court of tho United Ktntes,
but Independent of the ultimate decis
ion of the courts as to the validity of
the federal law, there Is a mate stat
ute, passed In 1879, which makea It
a misdemeanor for a. person to sell
IkiUor to an Indian and the sheriff's
office has decided to stand on the
law.
During the post few week a num
ber of drunken Indiana on the reser
vation have been causing much annoy
ance to the whites, and especially
during the past days have disorders
been reported from Spalding where
the dancing Indiana have established
a camp at the Captain Kane place, a
short distance from the North Lapwal
station.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Monroe
visited Spalding In connection with
the matter of suppressing the liquor
traffic and It Is probable some arrests
will be made for selling liquor In vio
lation of the state law.
It had been reported that the danc
ing Indians had concluded their dance
Tuesday night, but Instead It was re
sumed Wednesday might, while lust
evening large numbers of Indians
were iignln assembling at the dancing
tent. The Indians dance during the
night and sleep daring the day.

A record of all the miners who

the Bunker Hill mill was blown up by
a mob of dynamiters has been brought

whereabouts therefore accounted for,
and those who were off shift, nearly
all of whom participated in the seis

the mill, tho mob consisting of per

This record shows that Harry Or
