Tho president in her annual address de scribed some of the many cases which the association was called upon to relieve as Indicative of the need of the organisa tion. He address In part follows: We are meeting, together again today to celebrate the close of another year's work, the ninth year of our organisation. We have had rather an uneventful year in many ways, but one filled with good work, as the reports of the different offlcors will show today. We have every reason to be encouraged. All our unsecured debts have been paid, with the exception of eJUO due the bank, and the chairman of the ways and means committee reports over ILOUO raised for the mortgage debt and Interest. This leaves only about $3,200 In debtedness against our home. Our Creche ha been virtually e!f-"pportlnsr. Our membership committee reports 144 mem bers, bringing us In $460 In cash and $181 In- order cards. We have adhered to the method of raising money which we found best last year, namely, asking for the money directly rather than raising it by giving entertainments. As the charity work in this city goes on year after year, there are certain needs which grow In Importance, becoming al most imperative. First A closer union between tne cnaruy workers of the city. Second A visiting nurse or nurses wno are willing to give us a few days of their lelcure time when off duty. Third A complete equipment for these nurses when they go out on charity cases, such as sheets, pillow cases, blankets, clothing, etc. Fourth A body of women, who are will ing to respond to emergency; calls to help in Investigating cases of poverty and who willing to form themselves Into a society of friendly visitors who will con tinue the calls after the immediate need Is satisfied. Fifth A larger membership In thl or ganization, because by your membership dues ana ty your presence at the monthly meetings you win be helping the needy poor of this city. The report of Mrs. Johnson, the matron showed that the receipts of the Creche for the year were $3,432.28 and the disburse ments, $2,132, . leaving a balance of $300, which was applied on the mortgage debt Mrs. Johnson said that ' the amount ot actual suffering among the poor of the city had been greater during the last three months. than at any time since the association organised. ., ,, During the year 203 charity cases were Investigated and relieved, 180 ; families visited in their homes, fprty-two deserted wives with families provided for, fifty widows with families aided, twelve single women cared for, 'six deserted men with families assisted and 113 married couples given aid. Seventeen girls from the county and city Jails were given temporary care during the year and twenty-three stranded women with children were also cared for. Employ ment was found for nineteen girls, twenty- three women and five boya over 16 years of age. The report of the yfays and means com mittee, of which Mra. Lewis Cutler was chairman, showed that It had raised $1,107.83 and had paid over $1,000 on the Indebtedness of the association.

A3 151, 918-02 Farnaui St. WALTHILL, Neb., Jan. 11. (Special.) So many statements and articles have ap peared recently In reference to the admin istrative disagreement on the Omaha res ervation inspired by the advocates of the tribe on one side and the expressions from the Indian office on the side of the admin istration, that some explanation of the facts leading up to the controversy Is due the public. The writer has discussed the whole sub ject with the several officials In authority representing the secretary of the interior in Washington and on the reservation, and will endeavor to set ouOthe exact position of the government as represented. Last summer F. II. ' Abbott, the re cently appointed assistant Indian commis sioner, visited the Omaha Indian reserva tion several days. Just previous to his visit Mr. Commons, who had been the su perintendent on the reservation for four years, had been ordered transferred, and it was generally understood that a certain amount of reorganisation would be applied to the local Indian office, but no state ment was made public In reference to the nature or extent of the change. 8even In spectors and special United States Indian agents visited tho reservation during, the summer, several remaining over three months, and it was presumed that the In dian office In Washington was fully In formed. Mr. Commons was succeeded by Mr. Moses, who remained but a few days. Later A. O. Pollock was made super intendent and remained in that position until January 1, 1910, when he was suc ceeded by Superintendent A. H. Kneale, who by consolidation was made superin tendent of the Omaha and Winnebago In dians, whose reservations are adjoining. Tho twenty-five-year trust period under which the government held the title to the Indian allotted land expired July 10, 1909, and the government extended that period by an order of the president for a period of ten years. While the assistant Indian commissioner was on the reservation and upon his return to Washington he planned a number of changes In administrative policy, whtch have been announced and which are being inaugurated, and which seem to be the basis of tribal objection and at the bottom of the whole controversy. Plan of the Indian Office. The plan contemplates consolidating the administrative local supervision of both Omaha and Winnebago Indian tribes under one superintendent, A. H. Kneale, who re sides at the Winnebago agency, and main taining a separate office and office force on each reservation, and also to divide each reservation Into three farming dis tricts and to place centrally in each district a scientifically trained farmer who la ap pointed from civil service examination. It has been officially stated that this will be equivalent to six agenoles. Each scientific farmer will have charge of making leases on the land in his district nd arranging the terms with the farmers and will deliver checks to the Indiana own ing the land for the rent. Any white man having business with the Indian office will transact it through the farmer of his dls- trct. The Indian having individual money on deposit with the government will make his requests through this farmer In his district and all such requests will bs for warded through the local office and through the superintendent to Washington, and when granted will return through the same channel to the farmer, who will supervise the purchase for the Indian and pay for the article purchased. This farmer will also examine tho farm ing done by white men on leased Indian land and refuse leases to Incompetent farm ers. He will also teach the Indians in his district how to farm. The plan also proposes the establishment of a model farm convenient to both reserva tions, with a fair ground, and the experi mental work on the farm will be open to white people and Indians. It Is also proposed to place over the local Omaha Indian office a chief clerk. who will be In charge subject to Mr Kneale, the superintendent. The number of employes on the Omaha reservation, originally four, will be increased to eight The superintendent will spend much of his time visiting the farmers and the two agencies. Indians Oppose the Plan. The writer has heard a great many In dlans express themselves in regard to the proposed plan and has listened to many expressions In a large tribal council on January 4, at which the plan was ex- plan was explained to the Omaha tribe. Thus far every Indian on the reservation has opposed the plan. An effort has been made to collect and classify these objec tions and they will be given here, in substance. The Ornatias say they object to the plan chiefly because It contemplates placing more restrlctloi.s on their individual efforts and small business transactions, depriving them of the experience necessary to their development; that they will never be com peUnt to control and protect the title to their lands and meet the white man on equality In commercial exchange unless they are given more freedom and control and Independence In selecting tenants, leas ing their lands, collecting the rents, hand ling the rentals and other small sums of money and making their purchases and paying for them personally. They say supervision over them has been too close and very much misguided for some twen ty-five years, and because of such super vision they have not progressed as much aa they otherwise would; that those who were no more competent at first than others, but who have broken away from government control and. leased land dl rectly without supervision and managed all of their own affairs have In all Instances mado tho most progress, secured the high est rentals and aie now the most compe tent Indians because of the experience gained; that those who have been undr closest governmental control and have thereby had the least experience In man agement and expenditure are now the most helpless and Incompetent; that the delays In securing authority to purchase neces sities and delay in collecting and disburs ing rental money has been a great hard ship to them and has greatly Increased the credit system among them. Want Mora Freedom. They say they demand more freedom In their business affairs and transactions, not to much to spend their substance, but to gain the experience and Independence to fit them for competency. They also com plain against a long history of delays. losses In unbusinesslike administrative methiHl. neglect, maladministration. They say the department sells their land, de posits the money In such banks as It sees fit ard gets only ! and S por cent Interest, while the purchaser of the land would pay I nd 7 pr cent Interest on a part of the purchase pries if left In the land, with Just as good s.-curlty, and that If they art per mitted to lease their surplus land for share of the crop they would gt more than double the rent and have the experi ence of collecting and disposing of It, and they cite many other Instances In which they claim their Interests have not been protected as well as they could do them selves. They also sssert that the policy of the department has been a shifting, changing one, without stability, and has been so theoretical and Impracticable that It has fostered uncertainty and discontent and lack of confidence among whits people and Indians on the reservation. They cits many Instances to prove this claim. Were Pleased with rollork. Thoy also contend that , they wers well and universally satisfied wiU Mr. Pollock as their superintendent and that they were never consulted In the plan to combine or consolidate the two reservations under one superintendent. They complain very bitterly at this administrative consolidation and at the removal of Mr. Pollock from authority and say . they will never submit to either feature of the plan. They say they have never had anything in common with the Wirnebago Indians and their experience under consolidation a number of years ago created great prejudice against it In any degree. They assert that they do not op pose the model farm or the district farm ers Insofar as , they ara designed to en courage better farming, but they object to the system which takes out of their control the management of their own affairs, and. as they claim, makes them more dependent and subservient They have stated very emphatically In public meeting and In private Interviews that they will stand together In their op position and that unless they can have their own superintendent and retain Mr. Pollock in that capacity and be granted more freedom in minor personal business transactions they will sever all connections with the government and take such steps ss will make them more Independent In the control of their affairs. It U not mads public what course they propose to pursue to secure this end. Cotton Market Is Hit Hard by Raid of Bears Wild Scenes in. Exchanges in Hew York and New Orleans When Prices Leap Eighty to Ninety Points. NEW YORK. Jan. 11. Under pressure of enormous liquidation Involving the sale of approximately 1,500,000 bales the New Tork Cotton exchange was hard hit by a bear raid yesterday losses as high as $4-80 a ball. William P. Brown and Frank B. Hayne, who are credited with being among the leaders In the bull campaign which of late has taken profits estimated at $13,000, 000, were on the floor of the exchange ac tive figures In one of the most exciting ses sions In Its history- May cotton, which recently has been as high as 16.19c, dropped as low as 18.32c ; March touched 15.09c as its lowest point. while July opened at 16.80c, dropped to 16.32c and closed a point higher. May closed at 15.S42 and March at 16.11c. The bears fought bitterly and sold at an enormous scale, several brokers each aelt- ng 26,000 bales. The bull element seeing the drift of things, took profits on a large line of cotton, probably with the Idea of allowing the shorts to sell themselves Into a hole, and the 'slump of 80 to 82 points resulted. . ,, ',. NEW Oltt-NS, Jan. 10,-One of the wildest days of trading that was ever re corded on the 'New Orleans Cotton ex change was today following the census bureau report on the amount of cotton ginned up to January 1. - This report waa regarded as decidedly bullish and the first tendency of the market was to go up. The active deliveries first advanced $1 a bale and then under an avalanche of selling orders which Increased rapidly In volume slumped off and finally broke $2.60 a bale, Partial recoveries were made on profit- taking by shorts, but the market was un able to withstand the terrific hammering of the bears and at one time went as low as 116 points below the high levels of the day. The close showed the old crop's po sition 80 to 81 , points below last week's closing, a loss ranging from $4 to $4.60 a bale, Union Leaders in Conference at St. Paul Action on -Switchmen's Strike Is De f erred Until After Arrival of P.
