gbe Wwm WILMINGTON, N.C Saioedaj Mokniko, Feb. 4. INDIAN TRUST FUNDS. The President's Coaseciioe Io So.cslled Diversion ExplainedNot to Secure Political Influence of Catholics. . By Teloaupaiom Morning Star. Washington, Feb. 3. President Roosevelt's connection with the di version of Iadian trust funds to the support of Catholic mission schools is explained and justified In a communi cation addressed to the President bj Attorney General Moody, which was 'filed to-day with the Senate Commit tee on Indian Affairs by Rev. Wm.' H. Keicbam, director of the bureau of Catholic Indian missions. Father Eeteham appeared before the commit tee to defend bis bureau against the charges that it has been using undue political influence to secure the use of trust funds for Catholic schools. Mr. Moody's communication, dated February 8J, 1905,seU forth the record of a cabinet meeting held In January, 1904, when the question of the use of Indian funds for sectarian schools was discussed and the President asked for an opinion as to his authority to direct that contracts be made for the use of such funds - by denominational edu cational Institutions. Senator Knox, then attorney general, declared that the act ofConaress in declaring it to be the policy of the govern mant not to permit the use of the public moneys of the American people lor sectarian purposes did not repeal previous laws giving to the Secretary of the Interior discretion to use the Indian tunas in any manner ba saw fit. The charge had been made that the Catholic bureau, through Dr. E. L. Scharf, of thisclty.bad made promises of Catholic political support to the admlnsitratlon in return for favors and it was to answer this that Father Ketcham went before the committee today. He denied that Dr. Scharf has ever had any connection with the bureau or with any branch of the Catholic mission work, and declared that whatever Dr. 8charf did was on bis own Initiative and without authority. It was not denied by Father Ketcbam t&at -be bureau has endeavored to se cure aid for mission schools. Be said that for years the bureau has been conducting acuools on various reser vations, notably the Osage, and the government has been paying for the teaching of pupils the same as In gov ernment schools, i Father Ketcbam asserted that Blsh op Hare, of ' the Episcopal church. know, a year ago that the contracts were being mh.de and at that time made an inquiry of the OommiS' sioner of Indian affairs and had explained to him the authority for the contracts. It was declared further that Bishop Hare was offered similar opportunities for his schools, but de clined to accept them. Reference was maae oy him to the annual appro priations by Congress to Hampton In stitute, Va,, and other sectarian schools. ! Hd said that what his bureau was get ting was not government aid, but pay ment for education from a fund own' ed by the Indians, and that the aid was by direction of the Indians' law ful guardians.

His Replication to Impeachment Articles Formidable .Docu ment in Point of Size. ACKNOWLEDGES I CHARGES. He Denies, However, That They Consti tute Qronods for ProsecBtlon for Hifh Crimes and Misdemeanors. : Proccedlsgs in the House. By Telesrapa to tne Homing etar. Washington, Feb. 3. Through his enamel. JudffB Charles .Bwavne to- day made formal response in the Sen ate to the articles of Impeachment made by the House of Representatives. The answer was a formidable docu ment in point of b'sj, and in it the twelve articles of impeachment were each answered at length. In every case tne ract cnargea was aamiitea. but explained from Judge Sway no's point of view, and In addition it was contended that even if the conditions were true as charged they were not of a character to justify proceedings for impeachment for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The answer was read by ex-Senator Thurston and when he concluded, the Senate Issued an order requiring the Bouse to file its formal reply by next Monday, and directing that all plead logs shall be In by the 9.b, so that the trial may proceed on the 10th. The proceedings attracted a large audience to the galleries and most of the Sena tors were in their seats, f I After the trial was suspended the joint Statehood bill was taken up and Messrs. Bione, . Barry ana Morgan spoke in opposition to that measure in its oretent form. I The order for the day included only the answer of Judge Sway do to the accusations of the Bouse, and this wss presented by former Senators Biggins and Thurston, on De&au or the re spondent, who again failed to appear in verson. Mr. Bacon on behalf of the Senate committee presented an or der which was unanimously adopted, providing that In all matters of pro cedure the Bouse managers; and the defendant's counsel may submit re quests to the presiding officer verbally, or it requirea in writing senators can not encage in a colloquy or i address tbe managers of defendant's counsel. but all remarks shall be addressed to the presiding c facer. Mr. Thurston read Judge Bwayne'a answer, a typewritten document of SO or 6 J pages, ue took up- tbe specifications of tbe charges in Jetaii, i contending that they were not such as should bei taken eognlzauce of by tbe Senate. Taktnsr up first tbe cnaree or receiving III) per day for expenses while holding court in Texas, while bis expenses were not so great, be admitted the re celptof the money as charged, but nied that - his conduct in this respect was contrary to law, as the allowance of 10 per day was Intended; to be fixed and definite altowance for judges when holding a court outside their districts. Be said that other judges have generally drawn the full amount of f 10 per day and that up to the be ginning of the present proceeding he had not received anyiintlmaiion from the auditing officers of tbe Treasury Department or from others that hla course in accepting the full amount allowed was contrary totaw or custom The charge matfe in article four.tbat in 1893 Judge swayne had appropria ted to bis own use a railway car of tbe Jacksonville, Tampa t and Key west Hallway Company, was denied. Judge Swayne admitted the use of the car but claimed that It was occupied by nimseu and mends in going from Del aware to Florida, upon tbe invitation of tbe receiver of the road. I He de clared that no expense was Incurred by the railroad company on account of his use of the car. He therefore de nied the use of any judicial power In connectton with this transaction. Judge Swayne also denied that he failed to establish a residence! In his district In Florida and says that he has resided In teat State since 1885 and In Pensacola since 1894. He adds that ith bis family he has been tin the habit of visiting bis father in Delaware. He admitted frequent absences on ac count of visits to his family, the bold" log of court elsewhere and because of a tour in Europe, but contended that there had been no offence In this re spec, of a character to lutify Impeach ment for high crimes and misdemean ors. I The charge of committing! E. T. Davis to jilt for contempt is admitted, but justified as a public duty ; with reference to tbe charge that he bad preaided in the Florida McGulre suit, relating to real estate in which he was interested, Judge Swayne j denies ine Holding or such interest. He at tributes tbe charge to a coosniracv on the part of three lawyers in the case, for the purpose of securing delay and thwarting justice. He also admitted hnlng and ordering to prisonl Attor neys Samuel Belden and EL T. Davis on the charge of contempt for their conduct towards him in the real estate case, but says that his conduct in that matter was justifiable, as was shown by tbe fact that the sentence was af firmed by Judge Pardee, of the United States uircult Court. Judge Swayne also justified his course in punishing W. C. O'Neal. ajing that bis course In the case had been due to tbe fact that O'Neal had made a murderous assault upon : a trustee in bankruptcy appointed bv m -i . . m . - -. " aim iswaynei in a oanruntcv nro ceeaing. When he concluded Mr. Thurston asked for time to file exhibit regard ing certificates of expenses of circuit judges not yet received from the Sec retary or tbe Treasury, but upon ob jection oy air. f Aimer, tne request was wimurawn. Mr. Clay presented a netltion from the National Cotton Growers' Assocl. tonrorthe appropriation of "A few million dollars" for the extension of tne marxet ror cotton goods. . ! IK THE HOUSE.

Mr. Griggs denounced the methods of pes tal employes' associations organized in order to ioereaae their salaries, and congratulates the President and Post master Genersl for having already dlr- mined certain of their officers.

Serious disor ders broke out to-day at Lodz where 25,000 men are striking. Some of the employes of a lace factory attempted to return to work and the remainder forcibly prevented them.- A strong military patrol was summoned and attacked and fired at the strikers who who replied with revolver shots. Strikes were started this morning in the coal districts of Dombrowa and 8osnovlce. It is feared they will have a serious effect on the industrial situa tion generally, Warsaw, Lodz -and other important manufacturing cen ters being entirely dependent for their coal supply on these districts. Ac cording to the best information ob tainablei the official list of persona killed during the disturbances had contains over 300 names in addition to many unidentified bodies lying at the receiving vault. In the cemetery. Tbe unidentified dead will be buried to-night. A group of soldiers outside a liquor store last nigm nrea on passers-by without warning, j killed a sbODkeener and wounding another man. The newspapers reappeared this evening, after eight days suspen slon of publication. Tbey are sub jected io the most severe censorship under tne orders -or minister or tne Interior Bouliean. Most of the shops reopened to-day, but only a few of the strikers returned to work. Scattered instances of violence were reported to-day. i A atudent of the University was killed this morning by a soldier. and the strikers killed a woman who had been in communication with the military authority.. Apparently a ma jorlty of the strikers are not willing to return to work. FORTY SIX SHOT DOWN. Lode. Utosiav. Poland, Feb. 3.

M It is tbe intention of the government ta bring Maxim Gorky and seven other authors and publicists to trial on do lltical charges. Qovernor Qeneral Trepoff, wbo received the Associated frees correspondent Friday, said "The whole case Is now in the bands of the ministry of justice, which is conducting tbe Investigation,' at the conclusion of which the prosecutor general will decide whether the pris oners shall be tried by a civil or a mil itary court. The story broadcast that it was ordered that Maxim Gorky be courtmartialed and shot is a I baseless fabrication. Invented by persons wbo are grouly ignorant of Russia or else they would know that it is impossible of the Butsian administration to ordej any prisoner to be executed or even to decide the form of trial. Yet,1 1 am in receipt or letters daily from abroad ion pioring me to spare Gorky's life.. repeat that I am in no wise concerned in this matter;! don't know whether the procurator general may decide to nro visionally release Gorky, as he did in the case of HeasenJMiakotin and Ka reieff.

In regard to the former it is said that upon one occasion wften going to an election he stopped at an inn where the country people, who bad assembled from miles around, took him for a Turk and through this mistaken idea almost worried "me lord"! to death. His dislike for physicians wass carried to such an eitreme that he left a cod icil to his will which was to the effect that a favorite nephew was to be dis inherited should he (the nephew) In the last illness of the lord let his sympa thies cause him to send for! a doctor.

"But I'm not a trunk maker," said the disappointed tradesman. "What are yon,' then?" In quired the candidate. "I'm, an under taker," was the answer. "Very well, then,"-, said the learned gentleman. "make me a coffin instead." When the coffin arrived at his London residence there were members of his family who Btrongly objected to giving it house room. "Very good," he rejoined. "I'll have it sent to my chambers. It will serve as a receptacle for Beavan's re ports." London Globe. , ! I An Example of Stern Bravado. For stern, bravado, says the United Service Magazine, it would be hard to rival the feat of Ensign Gillis, who saw a stray torpedo coming slowly, but surely, toward the anchored torpedo boat Porter in the Spanish-American war. He sprang overboard, turned the nose of the torpedo in a safer direction and screwed up the firing pin tightly, so that it would: not operate.! Then. treading water, he saluted Lieutenant Fremont and reported, "Sir, I have to report I-have captured a torpedo." "Bring it. on board, sir," , commanded Fremont, and ' Gillis actually did so, swimming with it to the ship and fas tening tackle to it. i , ; Proved Her Responatbllltr.

"Flagrant, wilful and continuous violations" of the law duriog the past fife years Is the way in which the Atchison, To peka and Sante Fe railroad j Is ar raigned In a decision promulgated to day by the Interstate Commerce Com mission on the "alleged unlawful rates and practices" of that road In the transportation of coal and mine supplies, involving aho the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. Tbe main part of tbe decision, summarizing the way in which it is alleged the law has been violated and disregarded, are as follows::' j I j "The act to regulate commerce ie quires carrriers to publish and adhere io their tariffs. The Atchison, Topeka and 8anta Fa Railway Company has for tbe last five years wilfully and continuously disregarded this pro vision iu the law of the respects above stated. i . 1 "February 19, 1903. -the so-called lkins bill was enacted, providing that carriers should in no case trans port traffic until a tariff has been pub liahedand that the published tariff should be observed, and providing a oenatty of not leas than $1,000 nor more than. $20,000 for each offence; The provisions of this statute entends both to the railway company which grants and the party which receives the cooceskion. Both the 8ania Fe and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Comf pany system violated the provisions of that act in the particulars men tioned f mm tbe day of ita passage down to Nivember 27. 19C4, when the tariffs under which this coal was moved were reduced in all cases $1 154 "It should ba further observed that on March 35tb, 1903, theUoited Skates Circuit Court, in a suit begun at the instance and r quest of the Interstate Commerce Commission, enjoined the Aichiaon, Topeka, an Santa Fee Railway Company to observe In alii reapecls Ita publlahed schedules of rates. That company from te.e date of this ir junction down to November 27-h, 19C4, was apparently in contin uous durrgird of that order of court; in Its railure to maintain those coal: tariffs." ! Tne decision says that "No other inn dividual could do business, in compe tition with the Colorado Fuel and: Iron Company in this field unless he es joyed the same freight rale advan tages; that when other individuals endeavored to make contracts In com petition with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, they were compelled to pay tbe pubilshedatesand therefore were unable to furnish the coal; and that under this arrangement tbe Banta Fe Company and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company virtually entered id a copartnership in the handling of this coal in the execution of which the published schedules of tbe 8anta Fe were utterly disregarded." Tne commission sajs tbe Banta Fe Comnany acted as agent for the Col orado Fuel and Iron Company in col" (ciiDg from ita customers tbe price of h- coal Itself along with the freight rates. "During the entire period covered by the investigation the Santa Fe Company transported coal for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company for lets than Its open tariff rates, and these conceasions amounted In many eases to tbe pries of coal itself. "Under the jitnt tariff filed May 24tb. 1903 and effective until Novem per 27ib, 1904. tbe railroads psrtles to that tariff allowed tbe Colorado Fuel and. Iron Company, a concession on all coal transported under these joint rates or it 15 per ton. Mr. Biddle. freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe system, testified that of tbe $1 OS re ceived by tbe Banta Fe $L1S was al ways paid to the Colorado Coal, Fuel and Iron Company, with the full knowledge of tbe El Paso and 8outh western. These railroads, therefore, collected the publlahed tariff rate from Trinidad district and paid back to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company $115 per ton of tbe amount so col lected.. "Some Suggestion has been i made that these payments to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company by the Santa Fe, were not in the nature of rebates' but aimply payment for price of its coal, that tbe publlahed tariffs in realty Included the cost of tbe coal.but inadvertently omitted to state that fact. Tbe record conclusively shows She contrary.'' - At the conclusion of a long cabinet meeting to-day. Attorney General Moody and Secretary Morton remain ed with the Prealdenl for a consider able time. Batlroad rate legislation was under discussion, but beyond tbe 'act that the Inter9tate Commerce Commission report on the Santa Fe re bates was eonaidered, nothing was learned concerning it. Attorney Qen eral Moody said be could i not make any statement. It is understood, how ever, that under an act of Congress, officials of a railroad corporation who teatify before tbe Interstate Commerce Commission are rendered immune thereby from' prosecution for such of fences against the law as may be dis closed by their testimony. Whether officials of the aame corporation who do not teatify also are immune from prosecution for the offences charged is aald to be a serious question of law. Secretary Morton was one of the effi alal8 of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad who teatified before the commission daring in investiga tion of the rate charges. ; i church Notices.
