OMAHA SUPPLY DEPOT TO BE VISITED -Vlnnehaso Affairs Will Also Be Irookrd Into by the Oommlaatoner, Who Propoaea to Gl-re Personal Attention to All Complaints. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. April 21. (Special Tele gram) Francis Ti. Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs, left Washington lust night for Chicago, wher he will he engaged for several week supervising; the annual opening of bids for miscellaneous supplies for his department. After this duty Is concluded Commissioner Leupp Intends to make a tour of Inspection of the Indian agencies and schools throughout the west and southwest. Every question of any Importance which has been Inherited by him from administrations of the Indian bureau, will receive the personal attention of Commissioner Ieupp, and there are many such scattered about the western case In particular In which Mr. Leupp Is much Interested, is to learn from personal" observation the precise, conditions which prevail upon the Winnebago resorva tinn In Nebraska. There have been so many charges that affairs upon this reser va'lon are deplorable, not only growing out of the sale of whisky, but that the Indians are totally In the hands of de signing sharper'', that the commissioner proposes to give the subject close Investi gation. Commissioner Leupp. during Ms visit to the various Tndian agencies and schools, will visit Omaha to look Into affairs rela tive to the Indian depot located at that point. Ever since the Indian depot at Omaha was established, business men have found It difficult to secure what they con sidered proper treatment In the opening of bids. Omaha was simply imvde a buf fer and primarily was created to give political workers a Job, but aa manufac ' turers and sales agents hare seen the possibilities of the Omaha Indian ware house grow, . they hava Insisted that It was an outrage to compel them to ship their supplies to Chicago or St. Louis when the government was maintaining a depot for Indian supplies at Omaha,' and when bids could be opened as teaslly ai Omaha as Chicago. Senator Millard had this matter In mind today when he called to see Commissioner Leupp, but the repre sentative of the great Father had gone on his first big tour of Inspection. Captain Hepborn Bnrleo Hie Wife. Captain C. B. Hepburn of the signal corps of the army, son of Colonel AA'. P. Hepburn of Clarinda, la.,' arrived today from Manila with the remains of his wife, who died shortly after reaching the Islands. Colonel Hepburn met his son at San Fran cisco and came through with the body of his daughter-in-law. Interment took place today in Arlington cemetery. Irrigation Contracts Iet. The secretary of the Interior has awarded two contracta for work on the Hellefourche irrigation project In South Iakota. 8. R. H. Robinson. St. I.ouis. captured the contract for schedule No. 1 at hla bid of IIW.hM. and the Widell Ftnley rompany of Manknto, Minn., secured the contract for schedule No. 2, at $107,260. Sorrow for Piatt. The death of Senator Piatt of Connecti cut, which has caused more genuine sor row than the death of any member of that body In many years, will elevate to the chairmanship of the judiciary com mittee Senator Clarence D. Clark of Wyoming, unless an effort should be made to place John C. 8pooner at the head of the Judiciary committee. Senator Clark hat prized hs membership, on the Judiciary committee as one of the highest honors that could come to a senator, nml now that he stands senior on the committee list by reason of the death of Itvi distin guished chairman, it Is expected he will Invoke senatorial precedent to make him chairman of one of the biggest committees in congress.

UNRUFFLED Treasurer Mortcnsen and Tom Majors Sit it Out Bide by Side. GUARD INSPECTION IS COMPLETED RIPLEY WILL NOT RESIGN President of Santa Fe Says Report Waa Started by l-eb-ur l anders to Encourage Men on Strike. SANTA BARBARA. Cal., April .-Regarding the published statement that Pres ident K. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe system would resign and be succeeded by President George B. Harris of the Burlington system. President Ripley today said to a reporter of the Associated Press: "I have not resigned, have not been asked to resign and hav.e no intention of doing so. This report about my resignation crops out every few months and I am beginning to get tired of contradicting it. I think ttiesn reports are originated by the leaders of tho mechanics' unions. There have been se eral strikes on the Santa Fe and these la bor union leaders start reports that officers of the road are about to resign from office and a new set of officers be appointed in order to keep up the courage of the strik ers and make them believe conditions will be changed and that they will get their old positions back again. They think this helps to keep the men supporting the unions In line. Some time ago they hud It that Mr. Kendrlck, who is In charge of our operat ing department, was about to resign, but this was false and he Is still In office. We do not pay much attention to such reports." Cooling ML (II The man who would ait on a cake of Are to cool off would b considered crazy.

Sprrnlntlnn a to What Northwestern Mill llo 'When Bnrllnston In vadea Its Territory from Horn City, (From a Stuff Correspondent. LINCOLN. April 2:. (Srecial.)-As an ticipated, the State Normal board failed to elect a principal for the Kearney Normal school at Its meeting held In l'eru yester day. The vote to proceed with that order of business stood 3 to I and the board ad journed without bloodshed or Incident, to meet here on the evening of May 5. Strange as It may seem after all the belligerent talk. Treasurer Mortensen and Tom Majors sat side by side in the board meeting and also at chapel yesterday morning and neither showed a ruffled feather, tho meet ing having been one of the most har monious this harmonious board ever held. The board Jogged along nicely over the mine which Is yet to be exploded, dis cussing routine matters such as planting trees' at Kearney and approving bills until all the business had been completed ex cept the election of a principal. "I mut that we now proceed to the elec tion of a principal for the Kearney Nor mal school," snld Treasurer Mortensen, without so much as a twinge of the mus cles. "I second the motion." said Superintend ent McBrien, getting ready to nominate former Superintendent Fowler. The motion was put. Those voting yes wore Mortensen, McBrien and Tawney. Those voting no were Majors, Delzell and Gregg. That settled It. Everybody smiled and the meeting adjourned without a single skyrocket being set off. Tho absent- of Rev. Ludden. the other member of tho board, prevented the se lection of the principal ll v. Ill 1 here, It Is presumed, at the May meeting and at that time the principal will be chosen, and Ludden will cast the deciding vote. (.imril Inspection C ompleted. LINCOLN. Neb.. April 22.-Brigadier Gen era I' lHRgett is about through with his Inspection of the companies of the Na tional Guard and will shortly send his report to Washington. Tills report, of course, Is strictly between General Dag gett and the War department, but the general has given out sufficient information on the subject to let the people know that he is well pleased with the showing made by the various companies. Major Mc laughlin, who was with General Daggett most of the time, said many of the com panies made a showing 1W per cent better than they did a yenr ago, while .only one company failed to come up to its former grade. This was because, he said, the com pany had Just elected new officers and the change probably made the difference. Beeiiuse of the Infraction tho Norfolk rompany ami the West Point Rifles were mustered out of the service. New com panies have ben mustered In at Alma and Rushville. Senator I-iresee Is the captain of the latter company, with Krnest Aubert first lieutenant and lye Fritz second lieu tenant. The former Is a Jeweler and the latter is county treasurer. The company Is made up of business men and ranchmen and men of property; for Instance, it takes Captain Brrsee Just a week to walk across his ranch. The company is noted for its crack shots. General Culver Is now figuring on the annual encampment to bo held In July or the first part of August. Just where the camp will bo located U not known now, but It will require some place with plenty of room to make a good range, where there Is plenty of good water. This year the slgnrtl corps will go out in advance and draw plats of the grounds and analyxe the water, something that has not been done heretofore. Xorthweatern ext It'ove. Railroad officials here are Indulging In much speculation as to what the North western will do when the Burlington begins lis blanch line from Ashland to Sioux City. U is said the Northwestern will at once begin the construction of a line to Seward from Lincoln to connect with its line to Superior. There It will join with the Sant.i Fo for a direct line to the west paralleling the Burlington line In this state by building from Seward to Hastings. It is then proposed by tho Northwestern to put on a Chicago train to leave here at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to connect with the Northwestern out of Omaha at Missouri Valley and to reach t hicago an hour sooner than does the Burlington. The big fight of the North western will be to divide the South Platte trade, now controlled by the Burlington.

May Revolutionise Tblnas. It Is within the range of the possible that the Lincoln Citizens' Street Railway com pany, which proposes to install u new street car lino In Lincoln, will use the new gasoline motor engine like the one constructed for the Union Pacific in Omaha to run its cars. Today George L. Campen, T. I'. Kennard and others are gallivanting over the west end of the statu in that new car to test It. For some time they have been figuring that nu ll an engine could be used all right for municipal street car purposes and are now up to the testing point. The member of the party expect to return to Lincoln to nght or tomorrow.
