INDIANS READY TO FIGHT FOR TRIBAL GROUND Canadian Mounted Police Issue Warning Against Migration. POINT PELEE IN DISPUTE; LEAMINGTON, Ontario, June 14.—Indiana, fighting the pale face for their old hunting grounds, -were warned today by Canadian mounted police they must not! migrate to the old tribal domicile on Point Pelee. Three hundred OJibways, who planned to take possession of the government park ! on Lake Erie shore, from which they i were banished to Walpole Island and I Alvinston reservations, were ordered to \ cease their preparations by Sergt. A. ' Birtwistle of the government forces. Jackson Dodge, grandson of the famous j Madawagaski, was encamped with his j family In tepees pitched at the edge of j the Government territory. Moses Caldwell, present chief, declared the Indians were dissatisfied with their present reservation and as soon as thqy body of his son, who was killed in an antomohile accident in Mexico, arrived, ; he would be ready to lead the march on ; Point Pelee. In the meantime the entire membership ' of the two other tribes planned to join ; In the fight for possession of the Point. The Potawatomies and the Ottawas will make representations to a Government official here next week In support of the Ojibways’ claim.

Two members of the alleged gang are nnder arrest and others were being sought throughout the northwest. Bank clerks, dupes of the thieves, acted as fences la disposing of the securities. TV. J. Maries, postal inspector, who has ; been working on the case for weeks, said j the amount of stolen bonds sold here was between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000. C. J. Ritter and T. C. Cochran, under arrest, are alleged to have been involved j In sale of $200,000 worth of bonds.

NEW TORK. June 14.—Ago, after all is a state of mind. It would seem to be so with the 6tage, taking some of the stars of this season. I recently saw Barney Fagan in a vaudeville skit called "The [ Stars of yesterday.’’ He is seventy-six years old, yet he did a buck and wing dance that held perfect to his final click of the heels. He introduced another yeteran, Tony Williams who also danced I gracefully. Williams is only seventytwo. Mclntyre and Heath, black-face comedians. are holding the boards at the Shubert Theater in a musical show called ] “Red Pepper.” They concede having ! been “teamed up” for forty-eight years. As they could not have started much under twenty years of age, I scheduled each as not less than sixty-eight. ■ John Drew, who has been going it strong, day in and day out, ever since : last autumn In “The Circle,” and will tour the cc/untry next season In that | play, Is sixty-nine. I saw him not long ago in the Players’ Club, and he never looked it by a safe margin of twenty j | years. His co-star Mrs. Leslie Carter, Is sixty. Otis Skinner, who has been out 1 through the land this season Is sixty-four. Both Henry E. Divey and E. H. Sothj ern are 63. William Gillette is 67. Only a j few weeks ago De Wolf Hopper was ! leaping about a New York stage after j the fashion of the days when he was In ; "Wang.” Hopper is 64. Eddie Foy. who comes to town occasionally from Westchester County and now and then is seen in vaudeville, is CS. Sir Forbes-Robert- i j son, the English actog so popular in America, was born in 1553, the same year ;ss Rose Coghlan, who recently had a | benefit in New YArk. Chauncey Olcott i and Henry Miller each are 62. | Thus we can pass out of the sixties j and find these "youngsters’’ Sam Ber- J ! nard, 59; Thomas A. Wise, Elsie De j i Wolfe and Minnie Maddern Fiske, each • j 57; Marie Tempest. Cyril Scott, David I ! Warfield and Maclyn Arbuckle, each 56; * | Joe Weber and Lew Fields, each 55; Wil- j j liam Favershara, 54 ; Raymond Hitchcock, j 54; Blanche Bates, 49; Hilda Spong, 47,; Margaret Angelin, 46; George M. Cohan, j 44 and Ethel Barrymore, 4X Consider- j j lng the "bard lives” actors and actresses ; are supposed to lead, a study of the ion- ! j gevity of thespians is illuminating, for' S they appear to be longer lived than the! members of other professions and they never do retire.
It has come to light since the death and funeral of Lillian Russell that her daughter, Dorothy, had married again. The beautiful Lillian was the same age as Mme. Schumann-Heinke, which Is 61, hut you never could have told it from looking at the former star of Weber A Fields, who could easily have passed on age appearance as the daughter of Sehu-mann-lleinke. I last saw her at the home of Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer after her return from Europe and where she gave a lecture, and she predicted the nomi nation of Gifford Flnchot In the Pennsylvania Republican primaries. Her pre diction was made several days before the votes were cast and its basis, she said, was from talks with working folk and her knowledge of her own sex The devotion of Lillian Russell to her daughter Dorothy wa3 beautiful In Its steadfastness. A man on the top of s Fifth avenue bus this morning was reading of Sunday's storm when his hat was blown Into the street below. As he went down the ladder in pursuit, he handed the eondnetor his paper with his finger Indicating the place, saying: "see what I was just reading." The headline of the article read: "Tornado Twist in the Wind.” Before "Fatty” rAbuckle can count on any interest in his case from Will H. Hays, the “conscience" of fiilmland, he will have to prove he knows the meaning of the word ‘ regeneration” and then set about living it. More could be said, but that much rings the bell on “Fat ty’g” proposed appeal for reinstatement. There is a clique of individuals holding
m
forth for the eats at the Hotel Algonquin which does not like various writers and plays, books and columns. It is a close corporation, and the critics of the clique work after the fashion of a clique, more or less together, but through different literary vehicles. They don't like Dr. Frank Crane, who writes. They don't like Edgar E. Guest, the poet. They don't like narold Bell Wright, the novelist. They don’t like S. Jay Kauffman, who writes. They don't like Samuel Shipman, playwright, and a long list of others. When they don’t like anybody they sneer at him or her and when they dare they do it out loud In their columns. Now and then they-assume to like literary men and women who have arrived, and they court those outsiders at least until an opportunity arrives to drive a knife in their product. When they really do like anything done I by anybody it has to be done by one of themselves. All they write Is supposed to pass for New York literary and dramatic criticism.” but it should go for irs true name, which is “back scratching and back stabbing.” After the fashion of the clique, we offer as an excuse for the foregoing outburst that it reflected a true condition of affairs in the metropolis which is harmful to literary development through- | out the United States, and our typewriter speeds to perform a duty, for we, too, have our like and dislikes, and we don't like the methods of this Algonquin clique. One of the persistent and enduring dej lusions of New York City politics is the (belief that wealthy Republicans and especially those belonging to the Union League Club, are generous contributors ;to the campaign chest. Asa matter of ! fact, one Tammany Hall contractor coni tributes in a city election more money (than the whole Union League Club col--1 lectively. Last year, when the Republicans had a municipal ticket of their

own, the credit of the Manhattan organization was so poor its representatives were unable to obtain rooms at the Murray Hill Hotel until someone guaranteed the first week’s rent. The Union League Club scraped together In all SS,OOO for the ticket, and In some recent city elections the amount subscribed by its members has been even less. Yet the fiction continues that the Union League millions are annually ta, ped for the benefit of Republican candidates. The story is told of a Republican orator from another State who came some years ago into New York to make a political speech and arriving at the hall designated found It in darkness. He made some Inquiries which were not at all illuminating until he met a man with a pipe, the janitor of the building. “What about tonight's meeting?” said the man of eloquence. “There'll be no meeting,” answered the janitor, a Democrat, sententlously. “We never admit them Republicans, less they pay the rent In advance, and this time they couldn’t do so, so you'd better go back home.” When it comes to a campaign contributions, New York is a Tammany town.

SILK STOCKINGS CAUSE ARREST AND JAIL TERM Woman’s Love of Fine Dress Leads to Shoplifting Sentence. A craving for silk stockings and other fancy wearing aparel resulted in Viola Eckert Crosby, 24, formerly of Peoria, 111., being sentenced to serve sixty days ; in the woman’s prison and fined $1 and i costs by Judge Delbert O, Wilmeth in city court. William L. Crosby, 30, who says he is the husband of the woman, is under arrest pending the investigation of Federal authorities. It is understood they are investigating Crosby’s alleged narcotic operations and they also say white j slave charges may ba placed against I him. About a month ago Crosby, accompa- j nled by Viola Eckert Crosby, and her j 14-ycar-old sister, Florence Eckert, ob- j talned rooms at 324 North West street, j Crosby, it is stated, was unabel to ob- j tain employment. Viola in her desire to j maintain her well-dressed appearance, i visited downtown stores in quest of the j I desired finery. On one of these visits she | j was seen by Women Detectives Rupert j i and Harrirs and an operative of the' Qulgley-Hyland Detective Agency. The j detectives trailed her to three department stores before she was arrested. | Silk hose, silk lingerie and a crepe waist j valued at $66.67 were recovered by the j j police. i In city court detectives said a letter | ! had been received by the officers from I ( the mother of the woman, stating her I ] daughter was Viola Eckert and was not J married to Crosby. The 14-year-old I Eckert girl will ba returned to her j | mother. Mclntosh Named Agent in Indiana James M.
