BUD HER ON COUNT! POLICE ffl!J£ STAND Commissioner Intimates ‘Radical Changes' Might Be Revoked. NO ACTION IS TAKEN City Force Protests ‘Jewett’ System Put Into Effect by Mayor Shank. Belief that the “radcal changes” made by Mayor Shank yesterday In taking away from county courts and offices five city policemen detailed on special duty would not stand, was expressed today by Harry D. Tutewiler, member of the Marion board of county commissoners. Mayor Shank pointed out, at a meeting of the board of public safety, that $25,000 was spent every year for city policemen doing special work for the county. The county feeds and houses city prisoners, in return, it was suggested by Ernest Kingston, president of the board. A Talk County Force Tutewiler said today that if necessary, a county police force could be maintained through ti e office of the sheriff, and men detailed from there for investigation and court service. He Implied no immediate demand for compensation for housing prisoners would be made and said the commissioners would consider the “good of the community in whatever action they take in the matter.” “Some of them are a little wild.” Tutewiler said, in discussing the activities of William P. Evans and others involved in the investigation and shake-up of the police department, which followed the resignation of James Armitage. brother of Wiliam (Bill) Armitage, boss of the city hall, as member of the board of public safety. Many protests against the board of public safety order issued yesterday, requiring policemen to report off as well as on duty are heard among the ranks of the police department today. The roll call system, with that order in effect, will be the same as that used in the Jewett administration. Mayor Shank abolished it when he took office, saying that it imposed unnecessary hardships. I.id Is On Evidence that the well-known “lid” was on was noticeable over the town last r : ght. All of the “clubs” of the city were either closed or quiet. The proposed high pressure cleanup squads, presumably under the direction of Claude Worley, investigator fcor the prosecutor’s office, who. by Rider of the mayor, will be transformed to the uniformed department of the police, have not been organized. Attaches of criminal and juvenile courts ordered back to the uniformed ranks hv Mayor Shank, reported for duty in uniform. Trial of Frank Row, former police captain, and Ralph E.

Last of Miamis Waiting Government Aid in Rebuilding Church on Burial Ground

By DOXAUD D. HOOVER Times Staff Correspondent MARION. Ind., Aug. 29.—Twentyone Indians, survivors of the upper tribe of Miamis in Grant and Wabash Counties, patiently are waiting for Government money, owed them since 1895, in order to rebuild their only place of worship, a dilapidated old church at Indian Village, eight miles northwest of here. The building was erected in 1862 and stands on the tribal burial grounds, where their chief and 124 members of the tribe are laid away. It was destroyed partially in a hurricane of 1916.

Winters, leader of the movement keeping the Indians united, who died a few days ago. Mrs. Winters was about 91 at the time of her death.

Elmer Winters, 23, a i great-great grandson of Francis Slo- | cum. attended the get-together and as sisted in the rehabilitation of the tribal I burial ground. Winters told the story of Francis | Slocum: "They (the settlers) came In big. old-fashioned covered wagons. The Indians took a liking to Frances, a white child found by them. Her folks afterward discovered where she was and came for her. But she wouldn't go,” he said, with a triumphant smile. “She told them she was an Indian." The quaint Indian names still are given the children when they are bom, but most of them go by English names. Winters explained that the English names were given them by a Government agent who could not pronounced the Indian names. Winters’ name is Wag-Pe-Mong-Wah, or White Loon. He was born when the loons were on the river. The oldest person buried in the cemetery was Chief Me-Shing-O-Me-Sia. head of the upper tribe. He died Dec. 16, 1870, when he was "aged sbout 98 years.” thief Was Christian Chief Me-Shing-O-Me-Sia became a Christian when in active charge of his tribe. On his grave is the inscription: “He united with the Baptist Church and was baptized the second Sunday in June, 1861, and lived a consistent Christian until he was taken from the church militant to the church tri umphant in Heaven.” The chief's son is buried in the place of honor on his right. On his left are his wife and a daughter. CONFERENCE OPENS Lecture on Near East Given at Missionary Meeting.
