The story of Friday's short trnvc !
from Topeka , Kan. , to Norfolk Is s
real "hard hick" story , mixed wltl
c ruelty on the part of a Slonx Indian
and followed tip with hardships am
hunger experienced In traveling it
last Sunday night's blizzard.
A few weeks ago Friday received ;
letter from his mother saying that his
father had loft this world for tin
happy hunting grounds. She wants
him to come homo and take care ol
the farm. For two years Friday lias
been working on a farm near Topeka

better than that of n baker's trade

Ho purchased u ticket for the reserva

In Omaha , be met a Slonx Indian wh (
"showed him the town. " He lost his
ticket and bis money and the Sioux
who had been a witness in u "boot
legging" case In an Omaha court , gav <
him a place to sleep. Finding Urn
the Arapnhoe had no money , tlu
Sioux sent him out to sell beads h
the busy streets of Oinnhn. His sal
ary for this work was one meal oacl
day and a place to sleep. Tin
Sioux's money disappeared for "fin
water , " says Friday , and only enongl
remained for a ticket to Fremont
From this place they started to wall
last Saturday. They asked for some
thing to cat at a farm house nea
\Vost Point , but one woman who wa
frightened at the appearance of th
hungry looking Indians , drove thci
away on the point of a shotgun.

the money. Ho requested that he b
given work which would enable hii

for his home near Niobrara.
Friday exhibited letters , from h
mother which announced the death i

I do not hear from the reservation I
Saturday , " he declared.
Friday admitted that after he hr
loft Fremont last Saturday , he hr
nothing to eat until last Monday , ai
then again nothing until he hr
hrTl
reached Norfolk on Wednesday , Tl
experience he had in his hungry wa
through the blizzard Sunday nigl
was dreadful. Ills appearance in Nc
folk showed It and he was all but e
hausted when the Norfolk buslne
man gave him food. Friday tried
several Norfolk business houses
obtain work as a baker.
"When 1 get back to the reserv
tion , I am going to get married
once and take care of the farm , " 1

Sensation Sprung on the Senate.
Washington , Nov. 20. Wbarton I
Harker , a retired hanker of Phlladel- '
lihla , Hpruiig a sensation on the sen- ,
ite committee on Interstate commerce
when be alleged that a Now York
financier told him , In tool , that the
financial Interests would mipport Theodore -
odoro Roosevelt for president "he-
caiiHo the latter had made a 'bargain'
with them on the railroad question. "
Mr. Barker's statement came In the
midst of an attack em the "money
trust , " In which he alleged that Prenl- \
dent Roosevelt hail been given the " | "
details of Hie Impending panic of 1007
several montliH before It happened ,
hut took no action to prevent It. lie (
declared that the Aldrlch currency f
plan was the handiwork , not of former I
Senator Aldridi , but of a Mr. Whnr- <
burton of the banking firm of Kiibn , /
Loeb & Co. of Now York , and that a '
fund of $1,000,000 had been started to [
Intmro Its adoption. j
"Three or four weeks before the
election In 1001 , " Mr. Barker said , "I
was walking down Broadway when I I
met one of the most dlstlnguliihod
money kings of New York , a man now '
dead. Ilo said to me : 'We are going
to elect Roosevelt. ' 1 expressed sur
prise , and naked if lie had given up |
the support of Parker , lie said yes , [
that they had 'frightened Roosevelt BO I
much that ho had made a bargain
with them. ' "
Members of the committee looked
somewhat Incredulous , and Mr. Barker I
idded : j
"I wish Mr. Roosevelt was hero. "
"I wish lie was , " Senator Townsend
said. "It would ho Interesting. " Mr.
darker said the financial giant , whom
lie declined to name , told him that
'Hoosevelt had made a bargain on the
railroad question. "
'He is to holler all ho wants to , ' ho
told me , 'but by and by a railroad bill
will be brought in by recommendation
the president , cutting off rebates
arul free passes , which Hulls us , who
owi > . , the railroads , permitting the rail
roads ! to make pooling arrangements
ul providing for maximum rates. ' "
The ra Iroad man added , Mr. Barker
said , that mder the latter authority it
would be i-usslblo to add from $ HOO-
000,000 to $400,000,000 to the total
freight charge paid by the American
public.
"I told him I ( hdn't believe Hoose
velt had made any -such agreement , "
Mr. Barker said , "but when the annual
message of 1005 went te > congress he
recommended most of thc > oo things , r
wrote to President Roosevo'f. ' and told
him what I heard and th.if I had
thought the man lied , but now' ' . ; must
believe ho had not. It was thiNonly ,
letter of mine Mr. Hoosevelt ever
failed to answer. " \
Members of the committee asked
Mr. Barker to give the name of the
financial man who had told him that
Hoosevelt was to bo elected.
"I cannot do it , " Mr. Barker said ,
" but subsequently somebody was al
leged to have stolen some correspon
dence between Mr. Harriman and the
president , telling of $250,000 put up
for election expenses in the city of
Now York. "
Referring to the panic of l'J07 , Mr
Barker said a man who was present
at the conference at J. P. Morgan's
house In May came to him in Philadel
phia and wanted him to use his Influ
ence with President Hoosevelt to stop
a plan that had been mapped out , he
alleged , by the financial leaders. The
man was a captain in the rough riders ,
ho said , and had used his own Influ
ence with the president , but without
avail.
"The plan , " Mr. Barker said , "con
templated the curtailment of loans ,
the withdrawal of credit , the putting
away of money by those Interested ,
where they could get It when they
needed it to stop the panic , and the
enforcement of various state laws re
garding the holding of cash reserves
by the banks and trust companies. "
Mr. Barker said that in October ,
when the financial upheaval reached
its crisis , he urged President Roosevelt
velt to distribute the $145,000,000 of
cash on hand in the treasury among
the banks of Chicago , Philadelphia ,
Boston and other largo cities.
"He wanted to do it , " ho said , ' "but
ho called in Mr. Knox , iir. Cortolyou
and Mr. Hoot , and Instead of deposit
ing in the outside cities he plunged
the whole amount into Wall street. H
broke the country , but it saved the
gamblers. "
The Philadelphia man , whose hank-
Ing house at one time was fiscal agent
for the Russian government , declared
0
that those who backed the Aldrlch
monetary plan had begun a "propa-
1 ganda" in which It was proposed to
spend $1,000,000 to secure the endorsement -
' ment of the proposed currency legis-
r
latlon.
SAYS IT'S A PIPE DREAM.
Roosevelt Declares That the State.
e
ij ment of Barker Is Nonsense.
' New York , Nov. 20. Col. Theodore
Roosevelt , while attending the night
performance by the Irish players of
"Tho Play Boy of the Western
World , " was shown the synopsis of
Wharton Barker's testimony In Wash-
Ington before the senate committee Inn
o
which Roosevelt's name figured prom
n
inently. He read the statement care
fully and then said :
is
, r "I would as soon discuss a pipe
dream with an out-patient of bedlam
ns such nonsense. "
Col. Roosevelt would not add to this
statement , only repeating It Inter
It with added emphasis , If anything ,
when pressed by other questioners for
an additional expression.
