th*> moat valuable mineral clalma In
the Walker Lake Indian reservation
were located In the darknes last
nlftht In willful defiance of the United
Slates law.
When the rush took place Into the
reservation, those who had waited for
the signal found that all the most
valuable land cdalms In the vicinity
of the Rich Dutchman's Cottonwood,
and 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 Lynohing.
only the presence of mounted Indian
policy restrained the angry, disap
pointed gold seekers from taking the
law Into their own hands and Iylnch-
Ing the men'who had crossed the line
In the darkness. A scandal of im
mense proportions la brewing. Not on
ly did unscrupulous settlers Ignore the
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.
Men Fight During Race.
As the crash of the explosion rent
- the air, hundreds of gold seekers In
automobiles and on rare hurses, dashed
arruss 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 befaieefm' the automobiles.
The sand arose from the plain In
stifling clouds. It Clogged the wheels
of the automobiles as well as the hoofs
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
t» gain some slight advantage In the
race for gold.
Angsr Follows Disappointment.
It was a sorry, 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 cursea AH the choice locations
along the gold-bearing creeks 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 Is believed all claims will
be declared Invalid and a new rush
arranged for.

Washington, Oct. 30.—Hon. Ellhu
Root, the secretary of state. Is to enter
the New York campaign at Utica on
Thursday. His spetch Is nog 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 he
no doubt, If doubt ever existed, as to
the deep interest felt In Washington In
Candidate Hughes' election.
Worked in Lunch Tims.
Secretary Root completed the prep
aration of hla apeech 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 waa
to be put Into type by 3 o'clock p. m.
Of course Mr. Stillings waa equal to
the emergency. Doubtless he knew
what the document waa, but there 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 apeech
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, but 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
speeches?" they asked.-
This question went the rounds quiet
ly, of course, but nqt- 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 elate
ment printed above In the foregoing.
Public Printer Stillings says he
simply executed an order received from
the department of state. The question

DEFEATED BY BILL
London, Oct. 30.—The government
"as defeated last night In a division
in the house of lord* on the education
kill, the crux whereof was the question
•f compulsory religious teaching at
Public elementary schools. Under the
provision* of the bill, as It left the
house of commons, children were not
compelled to attend school during the
time devoted to religious Instruction.
A '> amendment submitted to the house
nf lord* reverses this and It was car-
rl-d by a vote of 266 to 66.
The majority Included the archbishop
< ’anterbury, a score of bishops, and
almost the whole opposition. The Ind
ent inaugurates the long-foreseen
[>Kht between the opposing majorities
h» the two houses on the education
question.
Washington, Oct. 80.—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 flrst Incumbent
of the Theodore Roosevelt professor
ship ot 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 ony 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 gentle
man has been correctly quoted. It Is
possible that Professor Burgess’ re
marks will prove not to have been so
radical as they have been reported**
Placing the United States In what Is
declared to be an entirely erroneous
position will do Incalculable Injury to
the promotion of those amicable rela
tions between this country and Ger
many, for which the present adminis
tration is striving.

salary basis, feeling well assured that
nearly all the abuses with which justice
courts In tills county have been charged
during the past few years are directly
traceable to the fee System.
"We recommend that when the time
errives for nominating candidates for
the legislature from this county. In
1908, strong and capable men be voted
for who are willing 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
concerned.
Road Improvsm.ntt.
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 umvorked.
In speaking ot these latter roads, the
report says:.
"We fljjd upon Investigation that pre
grand Juries have called atten-
vlous
tlon to these facts, as well as others. In
this same repoot, yet the commisalon-
era 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 Ju-idge over the
Southern railroad near Brookivood
should be attended to by the county
commissioner! at once. It seems to
us that there has been negligence on
their part: the road Is In a dangeroua
condition, and while It la 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
attended to long ago.
Corporation Should Pay.
"The county road toward College
Park Is now being doublp-tracked by
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. This corporation haa practically
taken control of this publlq thorough
fare, which Is one of the most valuable
In the county, leaving space enough
for but one vehicle to pass at u 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 Geor
gia Railway and Electric Company
ought to have been made to pay for
sufficient ground on either side «f 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 phyalclans 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
an 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 aueh
an examination as to determine In a
short time whether or not’ any namea
have.been 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 puriwee.
•Illicit Physicians.
The presentment states that no di
rect evidence of Illicit practice of medl
cine has been obtainable, hut that they
have been Informed that much practice
In Fulton county la Illicit. The'Jury
recommends that the legislature be
naked to require a four-years’ medical
course, Instead of three yeara, 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.
E. Means appointed aa superintend
ent of the reformatory and the grand
Jury highly compliments the conduct of
this Institution. A simitar school for
negro hoys Is recommended.
. The grand Jury Is much gratified at
the fart that for the flrst time In their
existence the public schools of Fulton
county ran now be kept open for nine
months In the year, and la alsq pleased
with the general condition of the
schools. .
The report on schools concltided
with this paragraph:
* Combined School Systsm.
"The next forward step la to unite
the educational Interests of the coun
ty. The city of Atlanta and 'various
suburbs have closely related Interests,
making the present separation of school
lines artificial and absurd. The other
large cities of the state have the city
and county schools united, with 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 magnifled
into a city college, should be the aim
and steps should be taken to accom
plish this before the next meeting of
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 nerve two masters.
The Interests of the county and of the
corporations controlling public utilities
are frequently In direct conflict, and It
In 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.

This I* a tribute from a newspaper
which I* familiar with the South, Its
people and history. Rome years ago
an Englishman In a leading London
journal declared that during the Civil
war hla sympathies were wholly with
the North; that he regarded the South
erners as white* who had degenerated
under a system of slavery until they
had become Inferior to their ancestor*
nnd unworthy of sympathy. But after
rending how they fought for four yeara
against great 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 severest tests, and
conducted themselves with courage and
conservative restraint, hut with Inflex
ible determination and devotion to their
convictions and their (deals, his views
underwent a yomplete change, and he
became convinced that the white people
of the South were the highest type of
aJI the Aryan race—that they were the
most remarkable people on the globe.
This Kngllshinan 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 aa a people, and who
declared the men and women of the
South were the noblest types of their
race.—Nashville American.
