Oklahoma City. Okla.. Oct. 30.—All
the most valuable mineral claims In
the Walker Lake Indian reservation
sere located In the darknea last
night In willful defiance of the United
States law.
When the rush took place Into the
reservation, those who had waited for
the signal found that all the most
valuable land cdalms Ip the vicinity
of the Rich Dutchman's Cottonwood,
ami numerous other ccreeks emptying
Into the southwestern section of Walk
er lake had been taken up by the men
who had rushed In the darkness of
night contrary to law.
Police Prevent Lynching,
inly the presence of mounted Indian
police restrained the angry, disap
pointed gold seekers from taking the
law into their own hands and lylnch-
Ing the men who had crossed the line
In the darkness. A scandal of Im
mense proportions Is brewing. Not on
ly did unscrupulous settlers Ignore the
law. but serious charges are made
against officers of the United States
army.
The rush Itself was the most spec
tacular thing of its kind ever wit
nessed In the history of the opening of
Indian reservations. The signal for
the rush was the firing of a mighty
blast of dynamite at the highest point
on the adjacent mountains.
Msn Fight During Race.
As the crash of the explosion rent
the air, hundreds of gold seekers In
automobiles and on race horses, dashed
across the line In an Indiscriminate
mixture. In the first Impetus of the
rush many men narrowly escaped be
ing run over and trampled to death
under; the.hoofs'of horses and being
crushed bWArtsdnrt ‘fhe automobiles.
The sand arose from the plain In
stifling clouds. It-clogged the wheels
of the automobiles as well as the honfa
of the horses. Many -of the autos be
came stalled In the deep sands and
those on horseback were really at an
advantage. As a number broke down
or stuck In the sand, the occupants
continued the race on foot.
Men fought with each other; pulled
each other down In their mad efforts
to gain some slight advantage In the
race for gold.
Anger -Follows Dissppointmsnt.
It tvas a aorry, jaded, disappointed
lot of men who arrived finally at the
coveted Eldorado. Overcome by thirst
and exhaustion, the gold seekers barely
had strength enough left to search for
locations.
Then at once arose a storm of anger
and curses. All the cholcy locations
along the gold-bearing creeka had
been taken.
The rush Into the reservation was
followed by a rush out of It to the tel
egraph wires, which were burdened
with protests to the secretary of the
Interior. It la believed all claims will
be declared Invalid and a new rush
arranged for.

Washington, Oct. 30.—Hon. Ellhu.
Root, the secretary of state, la to enter
the New York campaign at Utica on
Thursday. Hla speech Is now ready—
a portion of It was put In type at the
government printing office yesterday,
and just enough of It has leaked out to
show that the secretary, who always
has something to say when he takes
the stump or platform, will pay his re-
spects to Candidate Hearst In choice,
but vigorous language that cannot be
misunderstood.
He will speak for the administration
and when he has spoken there will be
no doubt, If doubt ever existed, as to
the deep Interest felt in Washington In
Candidate Hughes' election.
Worked in Lunch Tima.
Secretary Root completed the prep,
aratlon of hla speech yesterday. Short
ly before noon Chief Clerk Denby sent
part of It, If not the whole of the
speech, to Public Printer Stillings as
an emergency piece of work. It was
to he put Into type by i o'clock p. in.
Of course Mr. Stillings was equal to
the emergency. Doubtless he knew
what the document was, but thsre was
no pause for Inquiry to Interrupt the
office routine.
The speech went to the printers, cut
In small ''takes." and was In type at
the hour appointed. To get the speech
In type by 3 p. m„ printers worked, dur
ing the noon or lunch hour. If It had
been a presidential proclamation the
force would have gone hungry and
complained not a whit, hut when they
discovered they were working out of
hours on a political speech, and' that,
too. Containing an attack on the print
ers' friend. William R. Hearst, a few
of them, at least, felt quite disgruntled.
Printers Are Disgusted.
"Why should the government print
Ing office be used to set up. political
speeches7” they asked.
This question went the rounds quiet
ly. of course, but not quietly enough to
prevent Its reaching the public ear in
the course of a few hours.
Secretary Root, when questioned last
evening, very promptly made the state
ment printed above In the foregoing.
Public Printer Stillings says' he
simply executed an order received from
the department of state. The question
of "overtime" for the printers, who
went hungry, may come up at the end
of the week.
Secretary Root has decided to leave
Washington for Utica, N. Y.. Wednes
day, where he will apeak Thursday In
the Interest of the candidacy of Charles
E. Hughes, for governor.

DEFEATED BY BILL
London, Oct/ 30.—The government
"us defeated Inst night In a division
in the house of lords on the education
kill, the crux whereof wns the question
•* compulsory' religious teaching at
public elementary schools. Under the
provisions of the bill, as it left the
bouse of commons, children were not
tompelled to attend school during the
time devoted to religious Instruction.
•'*» amendment submitted to the house
nf lords reverses this and It was car-
iP d by a vote of 256 to 56.
The majority Included the archbishop

almost the whole opposition. The Inci
dent inaugurates the long* foreseen
•iKht between the opposing majorities
Ip the two houses on the educutlon
question.
Washington, Oct. 30.—Disgust mixed
with amusement was the feeling shown
by officials of the state department to
day when their attention was called to
what they characterized the remarka
ble speech made In Berlin last week
by Professor Burgess, of Columbia
University, who Is the first incumbent
of the Theodore Roosevelt professor
ship of American history at the Uni
versity of Berlin, Germany.
The statements made by Professor
Burgess that high protective tariff and
the Monroe doctrine are obsolete in
this country are stigmatized as canards
manufactured by Professor Burgess,
without any authority from any one
connected with the American govern
ment.
While the president is doing his ut
most to encourage friendly relations
between the United States and Ger
many, there Is authority for the state
ment that he will not stand for the re
marks made on Sunday last in Berlin
by Professor Burgess, if that gerftle-
man has been correctly quoted. It Is
possible that Professor Burgess' re
marks will prove not -to have been s«
radical as they have been reported.
Placing the United States in what Is
declared to be an entirely erroneous
position wltl do Incalculable Injury to
the promotion of those amicable rela
tlons between this country and Ger
many, for which the present ad minis
tratlon is striving.
salary basis, feelfng well assured that
nearly at! the abuses with which Justice
courts In this county have been charged
during the past * ew y®a**» are
traceable to the fee system.
‘*We recommend that when the time
arrives for nominating candidates for
the legislature from this county. In
1901k strong and capable men be voted
for who are witling to pledge them
selves In- advance that they will use
every effort to have such legislation
enacted as will, abolish the fee system
absolutely, as far as this county It
concerned.
Road Improvements.
The Jury recommended the improve
ment of many roads In different por
tions of the county. It called atten
tion especially to the fact that the
roads In the northern part of the coun
ty have been practically unworked.
In speaking of these latter roads, the
report says:
"We And upon Investigation that pre
vious grand Juries have called atten
tion to these facts, as well as others. in>
this same report, yet the commission
ers seem to ignore entirely all the rec
ommendations of the various grand Ju
ries."
Here are two more striking para
graphs from the presentment as It af
fects roads and bridges: •
"The matter of the bridge over the
Southern railroad near Brookwood
should be attended to by the county
commissioners at once. It seems to
us that there has been negligence on
their part; the road is in a dangerous
condition, and while It Is true, no doubt,
that the railroads have made promises,
yet we believe If It had been an In-,
dividual the county commissioners
would have seen that the bridge was
attended to long ago.
Corporation Should Pay.
"The county road toward College
Park Is now being double-tracked by
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. This corporation has practically
taken control of this public thorough
fare, which Is one of the most valuable
in the county, leaving space enough
for but one vehicle to pass at a time,
and we condemn the action on the part
of the* county commissioners In grunt
ing to any corporation or Arm or In
dividual the use of public roads with
out adequate compensation. The Gedr-
gta Railway and Electric Company
ought to have been made to pay for
sufficient ground on either side or the
road so that the public road could be
extended on either side commensurate
with Its needs." '
The Jury found the convict camps In
excellent condition, but recommends
that they be visited oftener by the
county physicians and that they be
lighted with electricity and given a few
coats of paint. - • ,.
The Jury recommends that the old
portion of the court house be put In
better condition Immediately, "even if
Increase In the county tax rate
should be necessary.” The county Jail
was found to be In good condition.
The books of Commissioner of Pen
sions Captain J. W. Lindsay and the
pension books In the office of Ordinary
Wilkinson were found to be In good
condition, but the grand Jury recom
mends that some way be provided
whereby the grand Jury can make such
an examination as to determine In a
short time whether or not any names
have boon fraudulently placed on the
lists. They recommend, however, that
the examination of these pension lists
be taken out of the grand Jury's hands
and that a special pension examiner
be appointed for the purj*ose.
Illicit Physicians.
The presentment states that no df-
rect evidence of Illicit practice of medi
cine has been obtainable, but that they
have been informed that much practice
In Fulton county Is Illicit. The jury
recommends that the legislature be
asked to require a four-years' medical
course, instead of three years, before a
license to practice is granted.
The jury thinks there has been con
slderable Improvement In the conduct
of the magistrates' courts In the last
year or two.
The people of Fulton county are con
gratulated on having had Professor T.
A. E. Means appointed as Superintend
ent of the reformatory and the grand
Jury highly compliments the conduct of
this Institution. A similar school for
negro boys la recommended.
The grand jury Is much gratified at
the fact that for the first time in their
existence the public schools of Fulton
county can now be kept open for nine
months In the year, and Is also, pleased
with the general condition of the
schools.
The report on schools concluded
with this paragraph;
Combined School System.
"The next forward step Is to unite
the educational Interests of the coun-
The city/of Atlanta and. various
suburbs have closely related Interests,
making the present separation o(,school
lines artificial and absurd. The other
e cities of the state have i
county schools united, wtth an ed
ucational board representing both, and
all experts agree that this Is the only
proper plan. The ‘Greater Atlanta' ed
ucational system, with the two high
schools strengthened and magnified
Into a city college, should be the aim
and steps should be taken to accom
plish this before the next meeting ot
the legislature."
Here Is a sentiment to which the
grand jury gives voice In Its general
recommendations:
"We are of the opinion that no coun
ty official, while in office, ought to
accept employment of any kind from
any corporation controlling public util
ities. No man can serve two masters.
The Interests of the county and of the
corporations controlling public utilities
are frequently in direct conflict, and It
Is practically Impossible for any man
to properly serve these conflicting In
terests at the same time."
In conclusion the presentment bears
testimony to the careful and thorough
and conscientious manner In which
Judges Pendleton, Reid. Calhoun and
Roan perform their difficult and la
borious duties. The excellent record of
Solicitor C. D. Hill is also commended.
The grand jury at its last session
adopted a resolution requesting Sheriff
Nelms to withdraw the commissions of
all of the special deputies appointed
during the recent riot.

AN ENGLISH COMPLIMENT
TO SOUTHERN AMERICANS;
SOME COMMENTS THEREON
The London Dally Mail c</mment* on
the unusually large number of vlMltor*
In London from the southern part of
the United States. It says:

This is a compliment to the South
erner and also a criticism of his North
ern countryman. The Southerner has
always maintained more of the bettei
^characteristics of the parent stock than
the Northerner, and in the South to
day Is to be found the purest American
blood on the continent. The large num

Indicative of the South's prosperity.

This Is n tribute from a newspaper
which Is familiar with the South, Its
people and history'. Some years ago
an Englishman In a leading London
Journal declared that during the Civil
war his sympathies were wholly with
the North; that he regarded the South
erners as whites who had degenerated
under a system of slavery until they
had become Inferior to their ancestor!
and unworthy of sympathy'. But after
reading how they fought for four years
against greut odds, and how, after the
war, they met the hard conditions of
reconstruction days, maintained their
racial Integrity, rebuilt their wasted
land and fallen fortunes, established
their supremacy', displayed their supe
riority under the severeat testa, and
conducted themselves with courage and
conservative restraint,! but with inflex
ible determination and devotion to their
convictions and their Ideals, his views
underwent a complete change, and he
became convinced that the white people
of the South were the highest type of
all the Aryan race—that they were the
most remarkable people on the globe.
This Englishman should have had a
better knowledge of the Southerner be
fore the war. There were many' Eng
lishmen who did. and who testified to
their high qualities, to their unsur
passed excellence' as a people, and who
declared the men and women of the
ISouth were the noblest types of their
race.—'Nashville American.
