IN BEHALF OF INDIANS.
Rev. Father John and Party of
Chiefs visit Washington

Rev. Father John and Party of
Chiefs Visit Washington-
Rev. Father John, Of the Order of Mary
the superior Of the Indian missions in the
Navajo Mountains, New Mexico, where the
tribe Of that name lives, and the surround
ing country for 500 miles, has arrived in
the city to request Monsignor MartinelH,
the Papal Delegate for financial assistance.
He viii present his claims to him today,
showing that the Indians under his spirit
ual jurisdiction have not yet received any
aid from ecclesiastics in this or European
countries.
Father John states that he has spent his
own money and large sums his father sent
him for the benefit of the various tribes.
The Government, he says. has utterly dis
regarded him and the missions. He de-
sired that they should receive a small
share, at least Of the large sum Congress
annually appropriates for other Indian
tribes.
Five chiefs came to Washington with
Father John. They are Black Horse, Red
Lion, Black Cloud, Chamaha. and Chapa
Of the Navajo. Red Heart HakOma Ne
bese, and Savany Indian tribes respec-
lively. They went to Baltimore yesterday
and viii be met there this evening by Fs
ther John, the entire party then travelling
to st. Louis, Mo. en- route to their homes.
Although Father John is unknown in
this section Of the United States. he is IA
nous throughout the West. The Indians
love and revere him and obey his orders
implicitly. He has Christianized many
tribes, even extending his labors far into
Mexico. Almost his entire life has been
devoted among them for their welfare
The Indian missionary was born in
/ France in 1922. His father is the cele-
/ brated DR. Dubois Of the Hospital of ST.
! Louis. Paris. who was the first physician
I to Napoleon Bonaparte. His mother is also
still living. In 1852, with the famous Fa-
. ther de Smit, he left France and emf
grated to America to disseminate the gospel
among the Indians. He has journeyed the
/ entire length and breadth of the United
/ States preaching and baptizing and fire.
/ quently being tortured. Schools and
I houses have been erected by him and fer

/ A large amount of money is required to

vent their institutions from falling into

were no Democratic or other headquarters
established, and the only reports received
from other towns have been of a private
nature.
Il is estimated here that about 10000
votes were poued in the State, of which
probably 1900 are PopuIist. and the
amendment is defeated.
The ticket elected follows: A H. Lon
