Senator Promises
To Expose Fraud in
Indian Land Leases
WASHINGTON, July 23.—De
nouncing the land-leasing situation at
some of the principal [ndian reserva
tions in the West as scandalous, Sen
ator Lane, of Oregon, to-day issued a
defi to the three House members of
the joint Congressional commission
which has been investigating the in
dians’ complaints.
He said the inquiry would g 0 for
ward. \
“We shall show how a ring of caitle
men have leased the Indian lands by
sharp bidding and have overbid their
competitors because they made a
practice of grazing stock on the In
dians' allotments, in defiance of law.
“1f the Indians made a fuss the cat
tle men would not buy their hay, or if
they bought it they would bargain for
it by measurement and then only in
winter, when its volume had shrunk
to a minimum. I am told that one
man has made a million dollars from
the Indians at the Crow reservation in
Montana by these outrageous meth
ods."”

Sept. 15 Is Set for

‘Plot’ on Broyles
The city Democratic Executive
Committee at its meeting in the City

“slipped one over” on Judge Broyles
by voting an early primary—Septem

for Judge of the Court of Appeals,
for which Judge Broyles is running
against Alex H. Stephens.
Henry Garrett protested, and was
placated with the reply that this was
done to make the campaign short,
aczording to custom, While no
charge of a “frame-up” was made, i
was talked about that members of
the committee wanted to get rid of
Judge Broyles as Recorder and 1o
feel assured that he could not enter
for that place in the event he hap
pened to mect defeat in the other
race. August 16 at noon was fixed

Judge Breyles' friends insisted that
such a move was unnecessary, since
they anticipated that he would have
no occasion to fall back on the re

CISTER
MACON, July 23.—Members of the
family of Dr. W. L. Pickard, presi
dent of Mercer University, are in
clined to the startling theory that
Miss Florence Martha Pickard, his
daughter, was drugged and irrespon
sible when she wed Leverett R. Har
rison, her former sweetheart, after
her engagement to Karl Karsten, an
Oxford University (England) gradu
ate, had been announced.
The eloping bride sent frantic an
peals Wednesday to her mother in
Savannah, following a separation
from her husband of only a few days.
“Because of my daughter’'s great
strength of character,” said Dr. Pick
ard Thursday, “we feel sure she was
taken advantage of by Harrison. The
affair is a profound sorrow to me, but
it is something I can not help. I know
my daughter would not have acted as
she has unless she wag overpowered.’
Suspect Soda Water.
The Pickard family has not made
‘the public charge that the girl was
‘drugged, yet there is a chain of evis
‘dence to that end concerning which
jthey are not reticent.
Tt is known that Miss Pickard was
ill from fever, and that she and Har
rison on Friday of last week went to
a drug store in Savannah and pro
cured some soda water. *+ Soon arter-‘
ward they hastened to a clergyman’s,
Miss Pickard succumbing to the fer
vent appeals of her former sweet
heart, and wer2 married. The minis
ter, it is declared, has sald he thought
the young woman appeared and acted
peculiatly, but that he attributed her
behavior to her recent illness. A, few
hours after the marriage ceremony
the couple left Savannah, Harrison
displaying an eagerness to be away
before Karsten, Miss Pickard's flance,
should arrive. And Wednesday, five
days after the elopement, Mrs. Pick
ard had a ‘elegram from her daugh
ter in New York State, begging her
mother to hasten to her.
Macon and Savannah were aghast
at the news, Florence Pickard, was
the natural conclusion, has been
abandoned by the man who forced
her into marriage.
i Turns to Younger Sister.
Meanwhile, as heroes of the story
books have turned from fickle sweet
hearts to newer, kindlier love, Kars
ten is said to have found a balm for
his heart in the companionship of
Miss Elizabeth Pickard, the younger
and the prettier of the college pres
ident’'s daughters. Karsten, arriving
in Savannah fresh from England and
full of plans for his marriage, was
faced by the news that his bride-to
be had gone away with her former
sweetheart. The Pickard family sor
rowed with him, and received him in
to their Savannah home as a we'-
comed visitor.
There was the younger sister, s_\'m-“

BARNES SUEa
HOOaEVELT
FOR LIBEL
NEW YORK, July 23 —William
Barnes. Jr., chairman of the Republi
can State committee, often called
“Boss” Barnes, this afternoon stated
that he had authorized his attorneys
to bring suit for libel against Theo
dore Roosevelt. The suit will be based
on the statement issued by the Colo
nel last night, in which Roosevelt
said:
“In New York State the two politi
cal machines are completely domi
nated, the one by Mr. Barnes, the
other by Mr. Murphy. The State gov
ernment is rotten throughout, in al
most all its departments, and this is
directly due to the dominance in poli
tics of Mr. Murphy and his sub
bosses, acting through such entireiy
subservient agents as Governors Dix
and Glynn, alded and abetted when
i_necessur,v by Mr. Barnes and sub
’bosses of Mr. Barnes,
| “Barnes and Murphy Alike.”
i “Mr. Murphy and Mr. Barnes are
mlwfimoml and peliti
e. t one shadow of good
comes from substituting one for the
other in the control of our Govern
ment,
~ “These bosses do not hold 'publie
office themselves. They act through
the holders of public office whom they
control. Yet they really form the all
powerful invisible government which
is responsible for the maladministra
tion and the corruption in the public
offices of the State.”
In making known his determination
to sue Colonel Roosevelt, Barnes is
sued the following statement:
“I have nothing whatever to say in
reply to Mr. Roosevelt's diatribe, ox
cept that it lacked dignity and self
restraint and is without foundation.
Denies Every Statement.
“When an issue of this kind is rais
ed by a person of such prominence,
one has but one of three courses:
Submit to the aspersions; enter into
an unseemly personal controversy, or
to appeal to the courts in order to
enable the person who utters those
libels to establish the facts as legal
evidence. 1 deny the truthfulness of
every statement made by Mr. Roose
velt in his publication this morning,
and I have instructed my counasei,
Ivins, Witloff and Hogue, to bring an
action for libel without delay against
him,
“The i{ssue in the primary canvass
of the Republican party is in no way
related to me, and the issue between
Mr. Roosevelt and me will be judi
cially determined.”

Brother of Missing Girls Confers
With Officials but Appeal
TheP ostoffice Department will
|mako no investigation of the disap
pearance of the Nelms sisters on the
facts laid before it Thursday after
noon by Marshall Nelms, the brother,
whe is in Washington asking Federal
aid in the search of his sisters. This
information was contained in dis
patches to The Georgian.
Young Nelms went into conference
at 3 o'clock with Joe Johnson, Chief
Postqffice Inspector, and submitted
his data and made a personal state
ment. Mr. Johnson heard him
through and then had a long confer
ence with Postmaster General Burle
son. No precedent was found that
‘wnuld give ~the' Postoffice Depart
ment jurisdictfon tior Justity it in in
terposing.
‘“There may have been a violation
of the spirit or letter of the postal
laws,” said Mr. Johnson, the-chief in
spector, “but we have nothing before
us to justify us in proceeding, T see
nothing that we can do to solve the
mystery unless sufficient proof is
placed before us upon which to pro
ceed, and so far there has béen none
presented.”
Nelms to Return.
1t is stated that the Department of
Justice having already held that no
violation of the Mann white slave law
having been shown, it can do nothing,
it is liekly that young Nelms will now
return at once to Atlanta. His trip
to Washington has been futile.
Johnson conferred with Mr. Burle
son at length, but nothing was found
to justify changing the pozition taken
by the Atlanta inspector. Great syn:-
pathy for young Nelms was mani
fested at the Postoffice Departmeni,
and regret expressed that nothing
could be done to help him. ’
Along with these developments at
the national capita! came an entirveiyv
new line of investigation in Atlanta.
This involved a thorough inspection
of all the business papers of Beatrice
Nelms and ‘interviews with all her
|business acquaintances with a view
’of determining if her affairs were in
i.~:u(h a condition as to furnish a mo
tive for her strange disappearance.
|| Meets Senator Smith.
| [t has been said that she was not
lin\-olved financially in any seriousz
way, but Attorney Reuben Arnold,
'counsel for Mrs. J. W. Nelms, mother
of the missing girls, wanted to malke
?sure on this peoint so that nothing
Islnt)uld be overlooked in seeking the

i Mrs. Nelms Denounces Agent.
f A sensational incident occurred
i’l‘hursday on an elevator in the Gouid
‘Bulldlng when W. O. Shellnutt, =
salesman for a medicine company.
‘wase roundly denounced by Mrs, Nelms
as having a part in the disappearance
of her daughters.
Shellnut ils the man named in the
mysterious postcard and letter rve
ceived by Mrs. Nelins from Ashevilie
and Canton, N. C. The letter was
signed by “'C. Allen.” Mr. Shelinut
readily explained that he had no con
nection with the Nelms girls' disap
pearance, and said that Allen, once a
private deteetive, had become en
raged at him because of his testimo
ry in the Myrtle Hawkins case in
