I'You cannot tell how associa tions grow," said F. A. Abbott, assistant commissioner of Indian affairs, aa he presented the new commlsslonr of Indian affairs, Cato Bfllf of Texas, jfor a tlmp of Iowa and a democratic leader In the Hawkeys state, to the heads of the In dian bureau this afternoon. Although he Is yet to qualify, Mr. Bells having been confirmed yesterday, asked to meet the heads of the several branches of the office and the presentation was made accordingly lj the assistant com missioner. Evidently the remark of Acting Com missioner Abbott found a responsive chord for the good byes had a touch of tenderness as they were said to the re tiring official who bad filled the office of Commissioner of Indian Affairs with exceptional ability and Judgment. Mr. Abbott, after the ceremony of pre senting his successor said he would re- main as assistant commissioner until Sep tember, Mr. Sells having important busi ness matters at his home in Texas to ar range before taking up his residence In Washington. As he will qualify as com missioner In the next day or two, Mr. Sells may desire to Inspect some of th Indian reservations In the southwest, which may postpone the assumption of hla duties a bit longer.

Mr. Abbott, when he leaves tho position of assistant commissioner of Indian af fairs, will became secretary ot the Board of Indian Commissioners, a nonpartisan body created by congress to aid tha presi dent, the secretary of the Interior and the commissioner of Indian affairs In working out the Indian problem so that the Indians may get their dues. This board 1 composed of men who are emi nent in their several fields. It is non- sectarian In character and nonpolltloat (and maintains office In Washington so jthat the secretary, who Is really the ao- Hlre head of the board, may be near the departments dealing with the Indian question. nr. Abbott, who Is one of the first Nebraokans to feel the axe. as acting commissioner of Indian affairs, but not as assistant commissioner, leaves the of fice, not only with the confidence and es teem of those associated with him, but the senate and house have gone on record In favor of giving him the salary of the commissioner during the time he has .filled that position. 1Y0UNG SHERIDAN MAN I ENDS LIFE THROUGH WORRY 1 SHERTOAN, Wya.

BREEN TRIED TO HOLD HIM UP Attorneys Chnrsre that Fellow De fendant of Attennx Attempted to Cxtort Thirteen Thousand Dollars from Itlm. BOSTON, Juno . The defonso of Fred erick E. Attcaux In the dynamlto con spiracy trial, charged that the dye man ufacturer was the victim of attempted blackmail by John J. Brecn, who has confessed to "planting" dynamite at Lawrence to throw suspicion of contem plated violence upon tho textile strikers. Attcaux took the stand In his own de fense today. In outlining his case Daniel II. Coakley, counsel for Attcaux, said that It would bo. shown that on tho night of January 16; 1912, Attcaux was called on tho 'phono 'at his residence by Asa Korbey, a Byrian of Lawrence, who had botn asked by the defendant to study and report on striko conditions In his city. Korbey sold that a man named Breen, who had done splendid work In advising tho strikers to refrain from violence, was In his place and would like to talk with Attcaux. Brecn and Attcaux then exchanged pleasantries. The next day Breen came to Boston, met Atteaux for tho first time and asked him to havo tho Amorlcan Woolen com pany officials telephone to the mayor ot Lawrence advising that dynamite stored In the city ward be removed to a place ot safety. Atteaux did so and tho next day Breen again called on tho defendant ahd thanked him. The following day Breen came to At teaux's office and at Green's request Atteaux summoned the late Ernest W. Pitman, who, according to witnesses for the state, furnished the dynamite from the woolen company's office. After Pit man arrived Atteaux retired, leaving Brecn and Pitman together. Atteaux never saw Breen again until some tlmo In March, when they met by accident at tho corner of Washington and Franklin streets, tha spot at which Broen has testified Atteaux paid him for "planting" the explosive. The attorney said It would be shown that after the civil suits had been In stituted against Breen by tho persons who wero arrested whon tho "planted" dynamite was found on their premises, Breen sought to get $13,000 from Atteaux. When ho was refused he resorted to blackmail. Gunboat is Sent by Huerta to Eetake City of Matamoras MEXICO CITY, Juno 4.

New Great World Force. Frank Parker Stockbrldge of Chicago, editor of Popular Mechanics, addressed tho convention on "Various Phases of Journalism." He pointed out that news la the greatest world force today, and said that It any one man oould possibly get a monopoly on the accurate news ho could rule the world. "But absolutely accurate news," ho said, "Is the hardest thing In the world to find. You think you havo It, you are sure you havo it, and then you find out you haven't It, and the other fellow gets a C-cent ver dict." As an example of the case with which news may got twisted when tho reporter is honest In his belief ho has It right he mentioned tho case of the famous Dr. Osier, who Is quoted the world over aa having said that a man should bo chloro formed when he Is 40 years of age. "Now the fact Is," said Mr. Stockbrldge, "Dr. Osier never said anything of tho kind, but In reality said that he could not at all agree with the scientist who had mads such a statement, and that In his opinion. a man did not reach his full powers until, he was CO. Now there happened to bo but one reporter present when that speech' was delivered, and that reporter misun derstood Dr. Osier and sent a big story out to tho world." InterrioTT President. Mr. Stockbrldge says the style ot news from the Washington correspondents Is changing under the new administration and that the correspondents Instead of speculating on what the president is thinking about and what he Is about to do, go directly to the White House and interview the president, giving facta instead of speculations. 'The reader wants the kind of news that mother used to make," said the speaker. "That is, the reader wants tho kind of news he has been used to. Tho girl who commits suicide must be beau tiful; tho burglar must be a former Sun day school boy, in order to make a good story, according to the old Idea. But wo aro getting moro and more away from that and the newspapers are more and more printing the facts as. they are."

AFTER THE TOBACCO COMBINE Attorney General proposes a Grau nated Tax on Output. LARGE FACTORIES TO PAY MORE Cabinet Officer Says lie Xleirnrila the Dissolution Decree na Obrloaa Snbterfnse and Miscar riage of Justice. WASHINGTON, Juno 4. Attorney Gen eral Reynolds today declared that he had always regarded the final decree in tended to dissolve the tobacco trust as an "obvious subterfuge and a miscar riage of Justice," and if there were any proper and Just way by which he could cure the evil he would do It. As an Im mediate step he Is considering proposing to congress a graduated excise tax on tobacco manufacturers. He advocates a sliding scalo In such a way that the big manufacturers will pay more and moro as their output increases. It is said tho attorney general has talked his plan over with President Wil son and tho cabinet and will submit It to Chairman Simmons of the senate fi nance committee. While such a plan of taxation could not bo called a tariff for revenue only measure, Mr. Reynolds contends that It Is an emergency measure devised to meet tho pleas of Independent tobacco manu facturers that tho dissolution of tho so called trust has not reliovod them of a situation which they say. threatens to plaoe them In as much danger as they wero from tho "trust" before it was dis solved. May Also rile Suit. In addition to correcting alleged in equalities by such a method of internal revenue taxation, tho attorney general is still considering the advisability of be ginning an investigation to determlno whether tho decree dissolving tho to bacco trust is being violated. Most of tho attorneys of the depart ment of Justice agree that tho govern ment could not reopen tho dissolution case and future movements must bo supplementary. It is pointed out that the United States court in entering tho decree of dissolution declined to grant former Attorney General Wickersham's request that tho government bo per " "f ?

Water Commissioner Howell tried to explain his plan of assessment. He in sisted that the property owners keep in mind the fact that the Improvements wero permanent, being made for "all time, not for a day." This kind ot balm did not seen to as suage the rising anger ot tho protest ants. Throughout the afternoon the council chamber was thronged with visitors, all desiring to kick.

Tho council can see nothing ahead but trouble, trouble, as King as water is pumped through the mains. llootor Drlnas Council. Mayor Hoctor, who appeared as South Omaha's representative, brought his council with him. He was spokesman for them. He said that South Omaha was in urgent need of twelvo fire hy drants. The councvtl passed a resolu tion a year ago ordering these hydrants Installed. "For some reason nothing has been done by the Water board," said Mayor Hoctor. "Wo are here to protect tho Interest ot our constituents. Personally none of us will suffer much, but wo be lieve our people ought to bo protected. "For a year tho board has made no movo to comply with our request. Wo owo tho board about $9,000 hydrant rent als and havo the money to pay It. Tho board has accepted money from us in payment for fire protection. Presumably it was accepted under the contract made with tho old company. If that Is so It Is tlmo for tho Water board to live up to that agreement. Under It wo aro en titled to flro protection." Water Commissioner Howell refuted th mayor's remarks Insofar as they related to tho board having made no move to comply with tho South Omaha council's request. "We've ordered LOOO tons of pipe," ho said. "Then why don't you lay It and got these fire hydrants in?" "It hasn't come yet" Hoctor continued: "Perhaps the Water board has been thinking of this metropolitan water dis trict bill and has purposely delayed lay ing the mains and putting In these hy drants, believing it wouldn't havo to do it under the old contract." Tho city council, except for a sudden spurt of fires from Councilman Thomas McGovern, sat quiescent through the battle, not enjoying It in the least. Police Commissioner Ryder was In the chair and now and then asked a placid little question, seeking only for Information, but every time brought forth a fusillade of denunciation of Water board methods. Somo of the complainants sold they were well supplied with water, but would do most anything to get fire protection, for which they paid, but didn't get. Fred L.

Ho said ho had seen firemen stop within three blocks of a burning building on Burt street, because the hose wasn't long enough to reach It He ureged the present need of adequate flro protection.
