KIEXt On-many, June 25. Emperor Wil
liam, accompanied, by Admiral von Tlrplts,
secretary of the admiralty,, and a. large
number of German . naval officers went
aboard the flagship Louisiana of the second
division of the United States Atlantic
fleet, as tha guest of Rear Admiral Badger
at a luncheon, today. At the emperor's ex
pressed request tha luncheon was Informal,
no toasts being - exchanged. , The officers
wore undreas uniforms.'
The emperor, who sat between Admiral
Badger and Dr. David Jayne Hill, the
American ambassador, . was , In excellent
spirits and, kept up a -series of. stories and
anecdotes. ( His friendly attentions, to .the
retiring ambassador were noticeable.
After "a thorough Inspection of the ship
from the turrets to the men's quarters and
the stoke hold, -'the emperor chatted apart
with. Admiral Von Tlrplts and the" other
Oerman admirals, evidently exchanging
impressions of the Louisiana. The crew
gave three hearty cheers M his majesty
descended the side: The gold and black
Imperial standard flying at tha main mast
waa lowered and a salute of thirty-three
guns waa fired. ............
The American sailors today showed them
selves markedly superior to the Germans
In a race -of gtgs. Four boats' froth' the
Kansas, ' Louisiana, South ' Carolina' and
New ' Hampshire finished ' in the - order
named ahead of four German competitors:
The Americana offered to lend the Ger
mans two .boats to equalise conditions, but
this offer waa declined. The American
sailor will return tha German hospitality
with an athletic and vaudeville smoker
aboard the Louisiana Tuesday evening.
The yachting today .was confined to Ger

WILD, INDIANS IN CALIFORNIA
nemaaot of a Tribe Has
Itself Hidden for Forty
s ... Years..- v
Kept
The discovery of the remnant of a tribe
of , Indians hiding In, a wild and unsettled
portion of Tehama county by scientists
from .the. University of .California has led
to the keenest' interest among anthropolo
gists, and an effort is being made, to have
the government of the United States take
charge .of te.e remaining members.
Prof. A. I. Kroeber of the department of
anthropology . of. the University of Califor
nia- writes: -
'".That there should be a tribe of entirely
wild Indians at this date In so thickly set
tled a state ak California seems absolutely
incredible.' '
"When the first , rumor- of the untamed
aborigines in Tehama county reached the
Unlvarslty of California It was known at
once who the Indians must be If they ex
isted at all, for the so-called Kombo or
Mill Creek tribe of this region had long been
regarded as one of the smallest and at the
same tima most unique tribes In California.
But as this band was last seen in 1870 the
possibility of their having been able to keep
themselves entirely hidden for forty, years
was remote. ' -
"An expedition headed by T. T. Water
man, an Instructor In ths department of
anthropology, was out a month, and while
after the' moat strenuous kind of work and
most vigilant care they were unable to
meet any of the Indians In person they
brought back evjdence which Indisputably
proves their existence.
"The tract which they Inhabit Is only a
few milea square and an easy day's Journey
from Vina on the Shasta route of the
Southern Pacific railroad. It Is without
question the roughest and most Impene
trable stretch of country In California. The
Indiana know every inch of this territory.
As soon as one of their trails becomes well
worn they abandon it for lesa visible paths.
The trails go under the 'brush Instead of
through It, so that ths Indians do most of
their traveling on hands and knees. This
prevents the stock which occasionally
strays Into the region from following the
trails and beating them out.
; "If limbs have to be removed the Indians
cut them with old saws or knives that they
have stolen from neighboring ranchers,' so
as to avoid the sound of chopping with an
ax, which might lead to their being lo
cated. "As the country which they Inhabit. Is
absolutely useless even to cattle It la prac
tically never entered ' . The few ranchers
that cross"' the 'country prefer to travel
around the tract Instead of through It."

chapters are accumulating for ,the support
of the recent erlticttns .made upon the
management of . the,, stae prison t , lort
Madison- under the present, orate aumipia-
ratlon.' ' ' 1 '.' V. ; v', . '
The most'; serious Charge in connection
with this Is that tbe state authorities,
either wllHngly or Ignorantly, 'have been
recently', playing. Into ti hands of Sthe
prison contractors, and that as a resui; of
this the contractor ST making big profits.
This accusation waa made by Editor David
Brant of. Iowa City, who-had been one ot
the foremost supporters Of the state ad
ministration, and has since been denied.
But Mr. Brant has now made public a let
ter from Dr. M. R- Hammer of Nevrton,
prominent and highly esteemed doctor,
who writes from personal .knowledge, as he
served a term In. the. prison before he was
pardoned on the ground of. his entire Inno
cence. . . . , '
Dr. Hammer give statistics showing how
the prison population has been increasing
steadily for a number of. years and this
despite that the number ot, convictions Is
not larger. It Is duo to the fact that the
parole board, agtlng under the Indeterm
inate law, refuses to act on tho .various
cases and tlx Urn for termination of the
sentences. It was not the intention, to
leave men In prison longer under the new
law, but. that Is tho affect. Dr. Hammer
states that It Is the almofit universal belief
of the prisoners that they are being kept
there longer than the law contemplates
because of the desire of the. administra
tion to favor the prison : contractors.
Dr. Hammer also confirms the' state
ment made as to tho unhealthy and almost
Intolerable condition' of 'the prison.
Moon Law la Still a Mystery. '
Attorney General " Cbsson has received a
great many Inquiries -eveh following the
decision of tha suprerrle conVt In the matter
of the application of tha Moon law limiting
the number of ' saloons ' In a city, but Is
unwilling to give a flhal' 'decision on some
of the disputed points.' 'As to whether or
not the number of saloons In every city
or town shall be reduced to the maximum
July 1 Is a mooteoTqaestlon. Bx-Attorney
General Byers antf others are of the opin
ion that the reduction must take place
and that It cannot be ' avoided by con
tinuing saloon licenses that have been reg
ularly Issued for a 'number of years.' Attorney-General
Cosson is not fully con
vinced of the correctness of ' this posi
tion, but In answer to Inquiries states that
an agreement haa been made for a test
case to go to the, ,eoutai as., soon as pos
sible for a decision. In the meantime he
advises the cities and .owns first, to grant
licenses to the least -undesirable of the
places, so that it,wlH bo easy to lop-off

A
GYMKHANA IS GREAT SHOW
Kannibal Krew is Some Bunch of Fun
Makers,
AK-SAR-BEN . WELL STARTED
Membership la Boontlngr an -Every-thins
Looks Favorable, for a
Good Season for the
Kalahta.
One of the beat shows ever given Is the
general verdict returned - by . the knights
who have been so fortunate as to have
witnessed Samson's festivities at the den
this year. The Initiatory season Is now three
weeks'- old. and every Monday night sees
a larger and more enthusiastic crowd. The
I Nebraska Press associtlon, the Apollo club.
the Electrical club, members of the govern
ment bureau of animal Industry, and the
Commercial club have all been 'feted In
turn, and' their praise for "the show" haa
been, unstinted 4n measure, and quality.
Next Monday night comes the Ad club
and tha wholesalers, manufacturers and
Jobbers, and a red letter night Is looked
for. The general live-wire reputation of the
Ad club, and Ita penchant for always break -
ng out In some new and unexpected spot
has caused Samson to express some alarm
for the safety , of his gallant "kannlbal
krew" that does the man-handling at the
ceremonies. However, the die is cast, and
Samson gives It out that he won't "hedge"
now and for 'that matter doesn't desire to.
The paid membership has' even the ther
mometer outstripped In the rapidity of Its
rise, and goes up with leaps and bounds
every Monday night. Last week It was
announced at 1,090.
The Gymkhana Is making a most decided
hit with everybody. At the first night, as
at all first nights, there were a few ragged
places, but'wlth everybody getting down to
brass tacks the rough places have all been
patched up, and the course of the play
sails along without the slightest hitch and
In the most approved dramatic fashion.
"The Gymkhana certainly has melody,"
said Judge Frlck of the supreme bench of
Utah last. Monday night In good-natured
criticism, "but the lines are hardly ortho
dox In places." His sally met with such a
storm of good-natured applause that It was
evldene that orthodox or unorthodox, the
show met wUh the heartiest approval of
the hundreds of knights present.
There were a few sighs for ."the broilers"
of last year, but such aa they were, they
have been stifled In the general approval
of the four husky, dusky hottentots that
form Chief Samson's "kannlbal krew."
Tbe book and' lyrics were written by
Miles Greenleaf and the music by Harry
Hangauer. So popular have some of the
songs proved that they will soon appear In
print. .. ,
