Thorotn Sloan of Pender, County Attorney Pkxton of Thurston county, and Orover Harlan and Walter Feabody, representing the Omahas are In Washington to confer with the Indian bureau upon the subject of granting pat ents In Toe to the Omahas In lieu of trust patents which have heretofore been granted these Indians. It was stated at the Indian bureau . to day that In view of new legislation enacted by congress lust winter, known aa the act of June 25. which vesta the secretary of the Interior with sole authority for de termining heirship matters, the Omahas who came to Washington as Individuals, or as representatives of a number of the tribe of Omaha who Bend agents or representatives to plead with the Indian bureau are wasting their time and money. They' will save time and money by pre senting the cllma In due form to the sup erintendent of the reservation. Quite recently regulations have been prepared by the Indian bureau and for warded to the superintendent of the Otnuhas covering the very points the In diana here and their representatives are clamoring to have udjusted Immediately. The regulations now In the hands of the superintendent will empower him to hear all causes and practically settle the same upon the reservation without causing the Omahas a dollar In expense by their ap pearing personally In Washington or send ing agents or representatives. They should lay all matters pertaining to heirship lands and kindred subjects before the superin tendent, and he la empowered to take and hear testimony on the spot and forward the ame to Washington for final adjudi cation.

D., land district, be retransferred to the Bismarck and Dick inson. N. D., districts. This a the first case In which lands within a land district were located In more than one state, and experience In this case has proven that, from an administrative staudolnt. It Is not a good pulley to pursue uecause of dissat isfaction among the settlers and patrons of the land office living outside the state In which tha land offloe la located. The lands retransferred to the Dickin son, 8. D., district are aa follows: Town ships 12) to 132 north, Inclusive, ranges 91 to 107 west, Inclusive, In the state of North Dakota, with tha exception of those parts of the Standing Hock Indian reservation as are located In townships 129 and 130 north, range 91 west.

Senator Hoot'a visit has caused much speculation here. It was said his advice might be sought by the president an to the prospective supreme court appointments.

Hitchcock Back at Howard; Calls Names; Gives No Facts The following self-made Interview is sent to The Pee by Congressman Hitchcock, with a special request for publication: "Yea," sulil (ill licit M. Hitchcock, in re ply to a question, "J have read Edgar Howard's insinuations that I bad borrowed state funds f.ftcen or twenty years ago ai.J that 1 mi ill ewe money to the staio. "1 have also lead his statement that the Insinuations he makes will force me to re tire from the ticket. ' Both i lut. merits are false.

"When, however, he saya that I will re tire from the ticket he utters wb.at he knows to be false. 'Six weeks ago, after the primaries, he wrote me complaining that I had branded lit in as a liar and Insinuating that if 1 would withdraw the statement he would suppnrt and defend me from the very charges he now pubhthts.

LONG AND DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Memory of Ills Stainless Life Will Ever Remain with Ills Com. try men as Priceless Heritage, WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 10.-The 1910 1911 session of the supreme court of the United States opened today with the ad ministration of the oath of office as as sociate Justice to Charles E. Hughes of New York. The court then adjourned until tomorrow, out of respect to the memory of the late Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller. The court was In session only eight minutes. The mother, the wife and daughter of the new Justice were the first of the relatives of the court to arrive. Attorney General Wiekersham and Secretary Nagel repre sented the cabinet. Mr. Hughes followed Justices Harlan, White, McKenna, Holmes, Day and Lur ton, as they entered the court room In procession. Behind him came Justice Brown, now retired, but formerly a mem ber of the supreme court. Presiding Justice Harlan anounced as soon as the court had taken Its place that the president had appointed Mr. Hughea to the bench, that the senate had confirmed the nomination and that Mr. Hughes was present. He directed Clerk McKenney, by whom Mr. Hughes was seated, to read the latter's commission. "The court extends a cordial welcome," said Justice Harlan, as the clerk finished reading. He then directed the new mem ber to take the oath of office, the oath of allegiance having already been admin istered In the robing room a few minutes before. Mr. Hughes read the oath in Im pressive manner and at Its conclusion re peated after the clerk the words "so help me Uod," and Marshall Wright escorted the new member to his seat. These formalities over. Justice Harlan proceeded to announce the death of the chief Justice. "Since its last session this court has sus tained a very great loss." ha said. "The earthly career ot the chief Justice has been closed by death. This sad event oc curred on July 4 of the present year at his summer residence, after nearly twenty three years of continuous and distinguished service on this bench. He met the final summons with that calmness of spirit and composure of mind that marked his whole life. From his early manhood he walked In the good way, uprightly before God and his fellow men, and passed from this life into the life beyond the grave In the con fident belief, I doubt not, that the Maker and Ruler of the earth orderelh all things aright. This court. Indeed, the nation, will miss htm, but the memory of his stain less life will ever remain with his country men as a priceless heritage." The court then adjourned until tomorrow. No Permanent Head. The death of Chief justice Fuller left the court without a permanent head, while the passing away of Justice Brewer and the Illness of Justice Moody, whose resignation becomes effective November SO, reduced the active membership to six. One noticeable result was the change In the seating arrangement of Justices. This provided for Justice Harlan, the senior member of the court, to move from the place of honor he had occupied for years at the tight of Justice Fuller, to the chair of the late chief Justice himself, in recogni tion of his having become temporarily the presiding Justice of the court. Although nearly "25 cases are on the docket, the largest number probably In the history of the court at the opening of a tern, the program for the day was limited because of the unusual circumstances. Had the president of the United States beon In the city the court would hr.ve ad journed to pay Its respects to him. This left the day to be devoted exclusively to the ceremonies attending the swearing in of Justice Hughea and those marking the death of Justice Fuller. Tomorrow the court will begin In earnest the work of tlie year. , La Follette gits I p. ROCHF.STKR, Minn, Oct., 10.

FANS CLEAN OUT THE "BAD AIR UtMl Plan la to See it ror rain that Will Lead t Passible -Ketone of Half Hundred Men, Who Slay Be Alive. BI'LI.KTIX, STARKVIHiB, Colo., Oct. 10. The day shift came out of the mine at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon and reported they had pen etrated to within 900 feet of where the eleven pick men are supposed to have been working. From these conditions It Is hardly possible that any of these men are alive. 8TARKVILLE, Colo., Oct. 10. High hope spread over this stricken mining camp this morning when news was brought out of the Starkvllle mine, where two Score or more of miners are entombed from an ex plosion last Saturday, that fans providing pure air to the mine had been put In op craton systematically and that the Impris oned men would be located within the day unless efforts of rescuers were further blocked by the wreckage. This Information was given out officially by State Mine Inspector John K. Jones. He based his opinion upon the fact that a double force for driving out the bad air In the mine had been successfully effected through the stationing of the portable fan well within the short cut of the Starkvllle mine, where the fan In the main entrance to the Euglevllle mine had been reversed, and both were working together upon the same objective. it Is known that probably eleven men in the mine when the explosion occurred Sat urday night are at least a mile from the first cross-cut through which the bad air In the btarkville mine Is supposed to be flowing Into Its siBter mine on the other side of the hllL "Without any stretch of the imagination," said Inspector Jones to day, "these men could' be alive and per fectly safe unless a cave-In crushed out their lives or the black damp had reached them while the fans were being set up." Fans Are Worklnst. ' When dawn brokt today it found mine officials, state mine Inspectors, helmet men and other expert mining men faitafullv working to reach the half hundred or more, miners entrapped In the btarkville mine by the explosion of Saturday night. Word came out of the mouth of the mine at midnight that the portable fan near the entrance to the east slope, or short cm of the mine, was work.ng with pre cision. The deadly after damp, which threatened the lives of the rescuers and drove them from the slope yesterday, had been scattered Immediately away from the fan, and the belief was expressed that the (Continued on Second Page.)

The revolutionary lead ers, having over-thrown the monarchy, are now confronted with the scarcely less ser ious task of putting an end to excesses on the part of the rougher element of their own followers who, having had a taste of mob rule, are prone to continue lawless ness for its own sake. The decree of summary banishment for the religious oidera gave excuse for brutal outrages against the clergy. The provi sional government has now recognized the seriousness of the situation und today the police adopted severe measures to prevent the population sacking the religious estab lishments and to cheek the demonstrations against the religionists pending their ex pulsion. Reports that the clericals were carrying on a guerrilla warfare from the windows of their establishments inflamed the public resentment aguinst the religionists, many of whom were chased from their churches and convents. The mob which battered down the doors of the convent In the Rua Do Quelhas was led by fanatics and a gang of ruftians, who seized the occasslon to destroy every thing In sight. Images and stutuas were wrenched from nlckes In the chapel, alters were wrecked, furniture broken and the sacredbtal Vestments carried off by the rioters. I-ater the police recovered the greater part of the vestments. 2lrlls;!onlsts Arcnsed of Flrluic. The district In which are located Santos church and the French legation was starled by the crack of rifles, and at once a re port was circulated that the religionists were filing from the windows of the church. The crowd flocked to the scene, but the military arrived In time to protect the church and the legation from possible vio lence. Arrests of disguised and fleeing rellg!on lEts continued today. The discovery of recret subterranean tunnels at the monus tries set afloat rumors that many monks were still hiding underground, awaiting a favorable opportunity to emerge and con tinue the flKht aKninst the new reiftme. To Rut!sfy the crowd the military Initiated subterranean explorations and In one In stance went so far as to dig a trench to locate the suspected tunnel.

Bodies found along the railway track thteo mllua west of Beaudett were brought here this morning. There .as not a par ticle of clothing left on any of them save putts of shoes. Tlie bodies have the ap pearance of having been baked In an oven. Searching parties organized today went south to relieve suffering and pick up the dead. It will be days before all the dead cun be reached, owing to the great trees I which have fallen over the roads. These will have to be chopped away before wagona cun get through. In some Instances houses are filled with refugees who aro without food but a few miles from town. Mat Hendiickson came In from his eialm three and a half miles southwest of Bcau detto this morning and told of thirty per sons who wore housed In his shack without food. He suld that when the fire struck Ills place sixteen of them got Into a dry well eighteen feet deep and remained there nearly suffocating from tho Ileal and smoko until tlie fire had passed. When thev I fire had puaued over the Woll It veered to the southeast of his house which was not burned. Every other Inflammable object of the place was licked up by tiie flames. Trapped People Took to River. Many settlers got Into the Rapid river and saved themselves by wading In tlie water, although even then their faces were blistered by the iieat.
