sionaries who fear the administra
tion plans to return Indians to
"heathen communism" and self
seeking western interests threaten
defeat of the Wheeler-Howard In
dian bill. Commissioner of Indian
Affairs John Collier charged today
Collier made a counter-at tack In
behalf of the bill which he said
was losing ground In the face of
widespread influences which placed
personal motives ahead oi me wel
fare of the Indians.
A campaign to turn Indians
against the measure has shifted to
the house Indian affairs commit

being blocked by the bill's oppon
ents.
"Those attacking the bill are
threatening the very lives and exist
ence of the Indians," Collier said
The Wheeler-Howard measure rep
resents the administration's effort
to correct long-standing abuses in
Indian affairs.
Collier classified certain cattle
men, job-seekers, real estate inter-
fits, attorneys and missionaries as
the chief objectors to the reform

Opening said letter Walter read the
following:
Dear friend: I have hesitated for
some time in writing this for fear
of annoying you but I felt that the
time has come when 1 must ask you
a serious question which has caused
me some restless nights and cor
responding days of anxiety. You
will understand my reluctance in
writing you regarding a matter ol
such importance to me. When I
tell you that pleasant lives and
happy homes have been wrecked by
just such troubles you will realize
why I feel that I should know the
worst at once for in all sincerity it
may mean life or death to me.
I don t communicate the state oi
mind to my friends for well you
know a subject like this should not
be discussed even among our most
intimate friends, so I appeal to
you in my distress knowing that I
can look to you in my distress for
the favor I ask.
It may be asking a great deal of
you, but since I feel that you are
my one and only friend I ask you
kindly and earnestly as a favor to
me to put away all your work or
pleasure and devote your time and
attention to my question until you
finally decide for me.
I will not sign my name ana i
do not want anyone else to know of
my troubles except you, and for
fear of someone else besides your
self knowing of my embarrassment.
I solemnly ask you out of tne bot
tom of my heart the question: Do
you suppose Jeff will ever be as tall
as Mutt? Yours very truly, Your
Friend.

WashinRton, April 20 UP The
revised stock market control bill
was approved by the senate banking
committee today, 11 to 8, culminat
ing a two year investigation of Wall
street practices and weeks of con
flict over provisions of the measure.
The bill was reported to the sen

plenty of "teeth" to prevent repeti

decessors uncovered during the long
inquiry into market operations.
The close vote by which the bill
as finally approved was in line
with the sharply divided committee
sentiment which has resulted in
half a dozen revisions.
With President Roosevelt's sup

in the senate was assured.
The vote on approval of the bill
found nine democrats and two re

The rioting, inspired by the dis

GILLNETTERS PLAN
STRIKE WAR CHEST

net fishermen here were laying
plans today to raise "war chest"
funds for a strike to be called If
packers refuse to give in to union
price demands before the commer

river opens May 1.
The gillnetters' union at a meet
ing last night voted to give a series
of dances at wishing towns along
the river to raise strike funds.
The union also fixed Its demands
at 11 cents a pound until August
10 and 6 cents thereafter, making
a 1 cent concession below previous
demands after August 10. Packers
are offering 10 cents to August 1,
6 cents to August 10 and 4 cent?
thereafter.
Dissension threatened the ranks
of the union today, with Puget Is

discussing formation of a separate
union. Some of these upriver men
opposed the strike last year in
which the union finally gained it

Boston, April 20 (7P What the kaiser said to William
Bayard Hale, journalist, that night back in 1908 an inter
national mystery for a quarter of a century was revealed
today. The famous "lost interview," which caused so many
headaches and so much speculation, Is presented in the May
issue of the Atlantic Monthly mag-

of the man to whom Emperor Wil

and, as his country thought, so in
discreetly. This is the gist of the views ex
pressed by the kaiser:
The inevitable world crisis was ft
clash between Japan and occidental
nations; east and west must meet,
and the west must conquer.
Great Britain was guilty of a sort
of political miscegenation in ally
ing herself with Japan.
War was necessary. War was

F. D. DEFINES
SILVER STAND
Washington, April 20 (Ah-It wa
made known today at the White
House that President Roosevelt fcela
the answer to the silver remonctiza
tion problem lies in the formula
presented at the London economic
conference whereby all nations
would fix definite reserves of silver
in ratio to their gold supply.
This would bring for the first
time in history, a fixed ratio
throughout the world between gold
and silver. It was proposed at Lon
don that the nations establish sil
ver reserves up to 25 percent of
their gold supply.
As a result of this informal ex
position of the president's attitude
it was believed today Mr. Roosevelt
would stand pat against any manda
tory legislation at this session re
garding silver.
As explained at the White House,
Mr. Roosevelt feels it is impossible
for one nation to get anywhere In
rehabilitating silver without the co
operation of all countries.
One problem, it was said. Is that
there is an unknown quantity of sil
ver in the world unlike gold which
can be ligured to an almost exact
total.
How far negotiations for an inter
national agreement have progressed
since the London parley is generally
unknown. Nor Is there any indica
tion of an Immediate nc world ec
onomic conference for consideration
of silver alone. Presumably Informal
discussions are going on. The presi
dent will confer tomorrow with the
senate silver advocates on the whole
problem.
