Andrew Carnegie May j
Be Called Before the
New York Grand Jury
master to Be Requested to Tell of
tters Connected with Wreck
ing of Trust Company.
v. 'ORK. April 2i-Ppecll Tele
gram - ha investigation of tha rela
tion City Chamberlain Hyde with the
financiers who wrecked tha Carnerls
Trust company haa taken a turn that prop- !
ably will call for the appearance of An
drew Carnegie before the grand Jury. If
the ironmaster la subpoenaed his pres
ence will bo desired for tha purpose of
furnishing an explanation of tha confi
dence displayed by William J. Cummins,
who referred the grand Jury to "my friend,
Andrew Carnegie, who will tell you there
is not a crooked hair on William J. Cum
mins' head."
Tha grand Jury recalled that on two
occasions Mr. Carnegie bad come to the
rescue of tne Carnegie Trust company,
once at the solicitation of Charles M.
Schwab and others closely associated with
Mr. Carnegie and later with a loan of
12,100,000 when the company was lh a
tight place and while Cummins was the
active head of tha concern.
Cummins told the representatives of
the State Banking department on many
occasions that Mr. Carnegie could be re
lied on to come to the front at critical
times. On top of that. Cummins referred
the grand Jury to the ironmaster for a
certificate of god character, thus putting
It squarely to the inquisitors to call Mr.
Carnegie and axk him what reasona
Cummins had for the confidence that Mr.
Carnegie would say a good word for him
In his time of trouble. )
Both Cummins and Joseph B. Reich-
mann will go before the grand Jury again
Monday. There In much that the grand
Jury Is anxious to learn about the rela
tions of Hyde, Cummins and others that
waa not developed In the testimony al
ready adduced. That charges have been
made before the grand Jury against Hyde
is evidenced by that fact that the grand
Jury haa Instituted a formal action
against a city df fleer.

New Vork Plaeea tkat Have for
Years Knjoyed Imntanlty.
NEW YORK, April IS. (Special Tele
gram.) Despite the fact that Jhere are
reported to be gambling houses open on
the east side and In Harlem, It is a known
fact that a half dozen places In the heart
of the Broadway district, which are aald
to have enjoyed police immunity for the
last seven years without Interuptlon, are
closed today.
Whether thla act on tha part' of the
operators of the gilded palacea of chance
was brought about because of the persist
ent raids on gambling bouses by Deputy
Commissioner Flynn, or whether the word
came from the powers that be, could not
be learned from any of the habitues who
still haunt tha front doors of these places.
Deputy Commissioner Flynn began his
ralda on all gambling houses throughout
tha city on December Just after First
Deputy Commissioner Drlscoll announced
that a fund of 115,000 had been raised by
gamblers to kill him. Sines then Mr.
Flynn has made raids on thirty-six hoises,
arrested 40 prisoners, seised St.OOO in cash
and many thousands of dollars worth of
gambling paraphernalia.
Sledges, hammers, crowbars and even a
hdraultc Jack, known as "Flynn's baby,"
have figured in all the deputy's sensa
tional ralda, which have brought him
many tlmna close to death, once by a
revolver In a felon's hands, another time
by falling through a skylight and still
another by climbing fire eacapea. He has
come out of it all without a scratch,
though several of the men who helped him
in his work have suffered injury by falling
and bt ins attacked by the alleged gam
blers' friends. .

FORT SIM,. Okl.. April 23,-Presldent
Taft recently gave audience to a delega
tion of four Apache chiefs, headed by Mc
Ooosch. who are asking that the Apache
prisoners of war, held as such since the
Mascalero fight In 186. be given their free
dom, and be permitted to return to the
parent tribe In central New Mexico. If
there are any of the Apaches mho de.'lre to
remain In southwestern Oklahoma. It Is
asked they be permitted to select land al
lotments there.
The fight to secure the release 'of the
Apache prisoners of war has been before
the departments at Washington, and be
fore congresa for five or six years, the
n.ain Instigator at al times being Chief
Asa Deklugie. a ' former United Ptates
scout, a Carlisle graduate and for several
years chief of the Apaches In Oklahoma.
Trior to the death, about two years, ago
of old Chief Geronlmo at Fort Sill, where
the Apaches are held as prisoners, he made
several attempts to get permission from
the United States government for the
Apaches to return to -New Mexico, prom
ising to keep the peace.
Chief Asa. being of a younger generation,
wss not Included In the list of prisoners
who surrendered to Captain H. W. Uw
ton and General Nelson A Mllea In 1S at
Skeleton canyon. Arizona, and at present
only a dosen are living of the actual pris
oners, geversl trips have been made to
confer with the Mascalero Apaches In New
Mexico, and on each occasion Chief Ava
has urged them to assist his efforts for
the release of the prisoners of war. Aa a
result, the head men of the Apaches in
both New Mexico and Arizona have come
to Fort Sill and held meetings with the
prisoners, and all of this has led to the
present visit to Washington of Chief Mc
Goosch and three of his main counselors, all
from the Mascalero reservation In New
Mexico.
While the Apaches have been prisoners
of war. they have been taught agriculture
and cattla raising by the federal govern
ment, and today,, the Apaches at Fort Kill
own something like 12,000 head of cattle
perhapa the biggest herd In the west at
Ihm .pveaent Urn. '.DtiripaVtbai .last -two.
months they have sold $..000 worth of
cattle. ' topping many a market with fat
beeves. The cattle are the Increase from
6.000 head given to the Indians by the fed
eral government after they were located at
Fort Sill. i
Annually each fall occurs the roundup
of the herds, the branding of the new
calves and the sale of the surplus cattle.
All of the tribe participate. The money
from the sale of the cattle la divided
among the Apaches, according to the num
ber of cattle each owns.,
The Apaches have prospered well, not
withstanding their restrictions as prisoner
and now the per capita wealth of the
tribe Is about 11.700. Every dollar of It
has been earned by them through the
culture of cornfields snd their csttle. Kach
year. too. on the land of the prisoners oc
curs the hay harvest, when many thou
sands of tons are cut and stacked by the
Indians for their use and for the army
horses at the post.
' The Apaches, like other North American
Indians, are sunworshlpers. When plant
ing corn now, or In the early day's, when
going Into battle or starting on a cattle
stealing expedition, the sun was asked to
look down upon them with favor. They
believe in a future world. Thla was shown
long sgo by their custom of killing a horse
and burying It with clothing and Imple
ments of the chase for a dead Indian a life
In the future world.

Conspicuous among those prominent

When Paynter followed Bailey into the
camp of the near protectionists during the
tariff bill fight Mr. James' uorpe rose,
for his views on the tariff are modeled
on those of Cobden and Bright, although
somewhat Intensified by association with
Henry AVatterson. , But when Paynter
again followed Bailey as a member of the
subcommittee that gave I.orlmer a clean
bill of health the James indignation knew
no bounds. Whereupon Mr. James an
nounced he would oppose Mr. Paynter for
the democratic nomination for senator from
Kentucky In the July primary, which will
advise the legislature that will assemble
next January who to elect for senator
providing said legislature shall have a
democratic majority.
The climax was reached when James dis
