SENATOR BARD'S SENSATION

MONEY TO BE USED FOR INDIAN MISSIONS
la Retara for TtaU DlTerslon Priest
Were to Carry Twenty Donbtfnl
Districts lor the Re
publican. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 Sensational dis
closures In relation to the alleged use of
Indian trust funds for the support of sec
tarian schools were made today by Senator
Bard In a statement to the senate commit
tee on Indian affairs. In addition to the
chare that Roman Catholic schools have
received 98 per cent of the money expended
under contracts made by the Indian com
missioner, the senator said that he had
been approached by a representative of a
Catholic association with a promise of
carrying a certain stated number of dis
tricts In California for him In return for his
Influence In bringing about a continuance
of such favorable contracts.
Senator Bard addressed the committee
after statements had been made by S. M.
Broslut, agent for the Indian Rights asso
ciation, and Francis E. Leupp. commls
aloner of Indian nffalrs. The senator said
that he had been visited by Dr. E. L.
Bcharff, an agent for a Roman Catholic
mission society, and asked to use his in
fluence with republican members of con
gress lookltg to forwarding the Interests
of Catholics in getting a division of Indian
trust funds for the support of Catholic
schools' on the reservations. He quoted Dr.
BcharnT as saying that If the republicans
would agree to bring about the desired leg
islation the Catholics would see that twenty
congressional districts In which the repub
licans were weak were carried for the
party. Dr. Bcharff was said to have given
the names of the districts together with
the number of Catholic voters In each and
names of the priests, who would look after
the agreement anil deliver the necessary
votes to carry the districts.
Placed Little Credence In It.
Senator ' Teller questioned Senator Bard
as to his construction of the offer and re
ceived the reply:
"I thought It purely political and at the
time plneed little credence In It."
Senator Tiller said that If it wore proven
that the statement of Dr. Bcharff was made
In earnest then there was more cause to
complain of the Interference of the Catho
lic church than of the Mormon churrh In
the political affairs of the country.
The remarks of Senator Bard attracted
attention to letters that hud been put in
the record by Sir. Urnslu. Anions these
were a number from priests In relation to
the use' of the Indian trust funds. Two of
them alleged that the president was favor
able to the diversion of the funriH for the
promotion of tho Catholic schools on the
reservations. Mr. Uroslus was questioned
as to the date of those letters and said the
correspondence he had been able to got
hold of Indicated that the interest of tho
Cathollc church developed during the recent
campaign.
View of Mr. Leupp.
The views of Mr. Leupp were, substan
tially, Jthat, ar he understood It, the con
tract with the sectarian schools were made
pursuant to an order of the president, based
on an opinion from the attorney general.
He said that the president doubtless would
welcome a Judicial definition of the status
of th Indian rights In such matters. The
Jrrevocable settlement of the question of
the limitations of the government's author
ity aa trustee f the Indian funds In the
treasury, he said, was In the highest de
gree desirable. He advocated legislation for
the Individualizing of the funds of the sev
eral tribes, still keeping their control In th
hands of the government, but opening a
separate account with each Indian, who
now 1 entitled to an undivided Interest In
any tribal fund. A particulur object to be
gained by the Individualism of the trust
funds, he said. Is to enable each Indian to
aay for himself how the Income from hi
share shall be expended In the education of
his children.
The statement of Senator Bard created a
stir In the committee and he was asked to
glvs a detailed account of the transaction,
aa well as any other matters relating to the
us of trust funds for sectarian school pur
poses, on which he was Informed. He
filed with the committee a statement cov
ering the conversation and also a list of the
districts the Catholic association proposed
to carry for him. He then discussed the
statement of S. M. Broslus, agent of the
Indan Rights association, and also quoted
from a circular Issued by M. K. gklffen,
secretary of the association, charging that
the discrimination in favor of Catholics was
by the direction of the president.
Senator Bard said that he attached great
Importance to the act of congress of June T,
1897, which declared that It waa "the settled
policy of the government to hereafter make
no appropriation whatever for education
In any sectarian school." The senator
atated that he had been informed that
there was no record at the Interior depart
ment of authority for the diversion of these
Ulist fund to the support of Catholic mls-
ons, but he had the atatement that It was
oh on an oral order, which agents of the

CHINESE ORDERED TO LEAVE
Oommiaiioier Anderson Decides Three
Should Be Denorted.
CEASE TO BE MERCHANTS AND LOSE RIGHTS
Le Chock of South Omaha mm Hale
Lla Of Omaha, Both Laundry
sen, Come lader
. the Ban.
United States Commissioner Anderson
has ordered the deportation back to China
of Leo Chuck, a South Omaha laundry
man; Hule Lin and Leo Hung Woh, China
men similarly employed here In Omaha,
The two first named. Chuck and Lin,
through their attorney, W. F. Wapplch,
Immediately appealed to the United States
district court, and gave bonds for their
appearance February 9, when Judge Mun
ger will pass upon all the orders of de
portation. Leo Hung Woh, who I repre
sented by Attorneys John Llndsey and W.
S. Summers, also gave bond for his ap
pearance February 9, before Judge Mun
ger. The other Chinamen, Lung Smlng
and Leo Lung, represented by Summers
and Llndsey as attorneys, were given a
continuance until 2 p. m. February 2, when
their cases will be finally disposed of aa
far aa Commissioner Anderson i con
cerned. Leo Chuck has been a resident of Omaha
since 1S92 or 1893, having arrived here before
the Chinese exclusion treaty went Into
force. He came here with hi father and
engaged In business as a merchant at 314
North Thirteenth street, though at that
time but 17 years of age. He went back to
China In 1900, having disposed of his busi
ness, and returned again to America in
190S, and then went into the laundry busi
ness at South Omaha. It Is held by the de
fense that Leo Chuck does not come within
the Inhibition of the exclusion act as
amended by the treaty of 1892, as he was
not required to register, because he came
as a minor, engaged at once in the mer
chandise business, and that his subsequent
following the business of a laundryman,
which U classed as labor, did not bring him
within the pale of the deportable classes.
Position of Government.
The government held Just the contrary
theory and insisted upon the deportation
of the accused on two points: first, that ho
had no certificate, and next that he had be
come a common laborer.
The contention of the attorneys for the
government was sustained by the court,
which maintains that the original exclusion
law of 18S2 remains in full force and elTect
without reference to the rules promulgated
by the Chinese commission In the treaty of
192. and which Is characterized by the Chi
nese a the "year Kwong Suey" because of
that treaty. Tlr court held further that
no treaty can vitiate any law passed by
congress. It was on this ground that the
order for deportation was Issued. A sim
ilar order on practically the same grounds
was made in the case of Huie Lin.
Iluie Lin was arraigned before the com
missioner on March 7. 18M, to show cause
why he should not be deported, and the
case was dismissed against him on the
ground that he was then engaged in legiti
mate mercantile pursuits. Since that time,
however, he has given up the mercantile
business and Is now a common laundry la
borer and Is subject to deportation.
The question of establishing the fact that
the accused are Chinese will be one of the
points to be made by the defense at the
hearing of the appeal cases before Judge
Miicger on February 9.

BONM OFFERS NO RELIEF
i
5w Proptiition to Light City Licks in
Attractive FsBtnres.
ASKS MORE THAN DOES LOCAL COMPANY
City Electrician Mlchaelaon Analyses
the Offer and Point Ont the
Appnrent Weak Spot
In the Plan.
In the opinion of City Electrician Ml
chaelaon, who Is not a particular friend
of the Omaha Electric Light and Power
company, the proposition of the Electric
Development and Securities company of
New Jersey for a franchise to sell eleo
trlclty for light, heat and power In this
city I not a good one.
"I do not see anything attractive about
the offer made," say the city electrician.
"So far as electric street lighting Is con
cerned. It Is not as good a proposal as was
made by the local company last fail, and
which I understand I still open to the
council. In the latter, by striking oft the
last year of the present 894.60 contract and
figuring In the royalty, the price of the
lights would be about t. though 876 Is
mentioned aa the ostensblle cost per light
to the city. Mr. Nash asked for only a
flve-year contract, where the new company
want one for ten years. The Nash prop
osition was for the same number of lamps
aa at present, or 627, white the new com
pany wants at least 1.200 lights, which at
86S would mean 878.000 a year, or t8,0c0
mora than the lighting fund limit Of
course this would be nothing mors or less
than a monopoly on all street lighting and
the ousting of the gas company, because
there would be no money left to pay for
other lamp. The city can be well lighted
with 1,200 arc lamps, however.
Rate to Private Consumer.
"While reductions In the present rates for
commercial current are offered from 10 to
20 per cent, this may refer to the rates, and
It Is only fair to say that the local com
pany charges from 10 to 60 per cent lees
than Its rates, according to the amount of
electricity consumed.
The 810,0X offered for the franchise Is
nothing compared to the worth of the grant.
Altogether, I think the proposal ahould be
examined very carefully and considered
with great care before anything Is done."
"Do you think it possible that this effort
to get a franchise la really one to procure
a new franchtse for the Omaha Electric
Light and Power company, in view of the
fact that It now holds a franchise that Is
defective?"
"No, I do not. Bonta has sworn to be re
venged on President Nash, who was re
sponsible for the former losing his position
as superintendent of construction with the
United Electric Securities company, or Gen
eral Electric company. When Bonta was
here superintending the new work at the
local power house he and Nash became In
volved in a small quarrel about the occupa
tion of a shanty used as an ofllce building.
The fight grew so bitter that it got into the
police court, and policemen guarded tho
shack. From this squabble grew the differ
ences that ousted Bonta."
Zlmman Agrees with Mlchaelaon.
City officers generally are not much dis
posed to discuss the proposition until it
has been thoroughly explained. Acting
Mayor Zlmman thinks much tho same as
Electrician Michaclsen, and does not seem
to think the offers made are of particular
advantage to the city. He says that the
first thing for the council to do on the
lighting question is to decide whether the
city shall be lighted by one kind of lamps
or by two or more, as at present, pointing
out that If a single system is agreed upon
the service can probably be obtained
cheaper than by a dual or triple method, a
the contract would be worth much more.
Once this question Is decided he thinks
the council should advertise for bids.
"I am satisfied," say Mr. Zlmman, "that
If th city should say to the gas company
we will pay $20 Instead of 830 for gas lamps
and no more, we could get them at the
lesser figure."
HALF-YEAR PROMOTION GOOD
Superintendent Davidson Endorses
Plan In Vogue In the Omaha
Schools Now.
"I am a great believer In semi-annual
promotions in the public schools," says
Superintendent Davidson. "Omaha now ,
employes the system adopted generally Iti
the large cities of the United States and
looked upon as the best. I believe also in
double graduations from the high school.
The yearly plan of promotions and gradua
tions often causes work on the part of the
individual pupil that Is absolutely unneces
sary. The half-yearly classes make It
possible for the bright student to progress
rapidly and for the dull student, who has
failed to pass his examinations, to fall
only half a year behind Instead of a full
year. In most cases he can do the work
necessary to promotion In the half year.
The system also abolishes dividing largo
classes Into divisions, each having the
same work. This Is bad, because half of
the class Is hearing the others recite the
very lessons It Is studying, thereby reaping
an unfair advantage and gaining the fruits
without the labor.
"Th attendance In the school has kept
up lemarkably well during the winter.
Despite the extreme cold many rooms have
no absentees st all."
RIbogan Bound Over.
Julius Elbogan, arrested Sunday night at
916 Capitol avenue by Offleers Itoyle and

intent to kill, has been bound over from
the police to the district court on a bond

Buy him an irrigated farm in the Big riorn Bawn or

farming irrigated lands. Do you know whore you cau buy
farm lands in the region of rainfall at $25 an acre, where a
paying crop is absolutely insured from year to year? You
do not. But you can buy irrigated land now under a full
water supply at that price, today. The Big Horn country
is as large as the state of Massachusetts and is a coming
commonwealth; one of the greatest surprises in the West's
development will be unfolded in the next few years in
the Big Ilorn Basin for the coming generation of fanners
and prospectors,
Cef Inttrtsttd; make lnqulrits; read Big Horn literature; watch
that locality and Its Irrigation enterprises. Compare the annual crop
returns from the farms up there with tha present cotrt of an Irrigated
farm. When you realise the absolute certainty of farming by Irriga
tion, you will get interested. Where and how will the next generation
get good farms In this country? Seven hundred thousand emigrants
come annually to our shores; dd to that our natural Increase, com
pare this growth of population with the limited acreage of new farm
lands and It ought not to be difficult to figure out the future value
of a good farm.
