Indian Chiefs at Georgetown.

Georgetown University was the scene OF
q unique and noteworthy episode yesterday,
when three noted Usage Indian chiefs and
the famous Col. Richard E. Plunkett and
a party of friends were the guests of the
university. The party was headed by Col.
Plunkett and consisted of Gov. John Big
heart of the Usage nation, his brother,
Peter Bigheart, chief Of the tribal council,
and Chief Ni-Kah-Wah-Shin-T Ton-Gah,
Judge Albert S. Dulin; John s. Bonner,
Edward l.. Byrne of Brooklyn, John j..
Horrigan, James B. Horrigan. Daniel Muir
ply and others. The party were received
by Father Shanndelle, dean of the faculty,
and shown through the university, and
after a light rejection, attended the bene-
diction service in, the chapel. Afterward
they were entertained at dinner at the
residence of Mr.. Horrigan, near the univer-
sity, several members Of the faculty being
present The members of the party were
presented with souvenirs Of the occasion,
which were blessed by Father Cowles, and
which were especially treasured by the
chiefs, who were educated by the Jesuit
fathers at the Usage mission.
The evening was spent with music and
"reminiscences of the far west and the
chiefs related the grievances Of their peo-
pie which have brought them to Wash
ingtOn.

week / notice that the government has
taken measures to notify its foreign-born
citizens of the difficulties they are liable to
get into when they leave the United States.
This is move in the right direction; but
why should it not be carried further? Why
should not we, who by right of birth are
citizens of the United States. receive some
sort of admonition as to the penalties i'm
posed and the modicum of protection grant
ed Us in foreign countries: or, better said
the total lack of the latter?- Hundreds Of
artisans and laborers leave this country
every year who are ignorant OF the fact
that passports are issued by the United
States to its citizens, and who would not
know how to proceed to get one IL they had
the means. These people cherish the idea
that the stars and stripes will guarantee
them at least fair trial for any offense
they might perhaps unwittingly be guilty
of tor inn ocent, as the case might be- But
such is not true. ....
1t has been my misfortune to see Amer
leans subjected to the ignomy of arrest
and Incarceration in pens that reek with
filth and vermin. and to know of their be-
ing refused the right Of an audience or
communication with the consul. And IN
rare cases, where. this privilege Is granted,
1t is still more rare for that gentleman 10
pay any attention to the prayer of his fel-
low citizen. Many Americans are compelled
to appeal to the English consul for the aid
that should be granted by their own rep
resentatiye. Two cases that came under
my personal observation in Guatemala may
serve to show the treatment accorded us
abroad. The first was the case of an old
sailor who served engineer in the Mis-
sissippi blockading squadron, and who had
an honorable discharge for such service in
his pocket at the time of arrest. His name
is McGrath. He caught a pickpocket in
the act of relieving him of his watch, and
was administering the fellow a good punch
ing when he was arrested. / interpreted
for him both to the police making the ar
rest and to the judge who examined him
at the station. He was sentenced to three
weeks in the penitentiary, and incidentally
given seven lashes with a cat-of-nine-tails
for demanding an audience with the Amer
lean minister. 1 went to see the minister.
and one of his people told me to tell him
to keep out of trouble
The second was negro who worked for
M. e. Jessup. general freight agent Of the
Guatemala Central railway. His offense
was attempting to assist native Guate-
malan. who had been stabbed, to a doctor.
You are liable, under the Guatemalan laws,
to arrest as principal in such case. You
could not lay your hand on your mother to
save her life if she had been assaulted,
without being tried as principal for the
crime. The man died. but before dying, at
my suggestion. exonerated the negro say
ing his slayer was another whose name he
did not know. He told this to the police.
The poor, scared negro edged his way out
of the crowd and started to run, having
been told what he was liable for. He was
caught. nearly beaten to death and SEN
fenced to one year. In the penitentiaxy. The

PoIiceman.s Leg broken.

Policeman George w, Kramer met with
an accident which resulted In the breaking
of his right leg above the ankle, while CIV
ing instructions to members of the chain
gang in the use of a crowbar this morning.
The officer has been detailed with the
chain gang for number of months, and
this morning he was in charge of squad
of the men In striped clothes who were re-
moving earth from near 18th and K streets
southeast 1t frequently happens that men
who know but little about manual labor
employed IN the chain gang. and some
Instructions are therefore necessary. This
morning the policeman was on the top Of
a bank of earth which was being exca-
waited, and the crowbar was used with so
much force that the earth gave way and
he was precipitated distance of about
twelve. feet receiving the injury stated.

MOUSE INCIDENT EXPLAINED.
Convict Says 1t Was Placed in Food
by a Prisoner.

Referring to the mouse episode at the
District jail few days ago, Mr.. James H.
Harris, the warden of the prison, stated to
a reporter of The Star today that Albert
f. Chase, the prisoner who sent letter to
a local newspaper calling attention to a
mouse having been served in the food, and
also making other statements regarding the
food not being fit to eat, ETC., admitted to
one Of the guards while going over to
Moundsville, w. Va, recently that he did
not see the mouse put in the box, but that
it was well understood in the wing that
the mouse was put in the box by pris-
oner after the food had been served to the
prisoners. Chase stated that the object
was to bring into disfavor one of the
guards of that wing, who was disliked by
some Of the prisoners. He said also that
his statement in reference to other food be-
ing served not fit to eat was untrue.
"It has been ascertained," said Warden
Harris. 'since the officers returned from
Moundsville that Chase did not write the
letter himself that he could not write, but
that he procured the services of a white
man in the Jail to write it. Charles Lee,
another one of the prisoners taken at the
same time to Moundsville. said the mouse
was put in the box by prisoner after the
food had been served to the prisoners, and
that it was all done for spite work.
MY investigation practically disclosed
all these facts some time ago, Dut an ad-
mission on the part of the prisoners makes
1t absolutely certain that it was done in
that way. I have also taken some steps
lately to ascertain how the bill of fare at
the Jail compares with other institutions Of
a like nature. and I find that the bill
of fare at the jail is fully up to any other
of similar character, so far as I am able
to learn The best prisoners in the jail
never complain about the food.
Samuel r. Beach, another one of the
prisoners in the jail, says that from con-
yersation he has heard in the Jail the
mouse was put in the food after it had
been served, he having heard them talk
about catching another mouse to be put in
the food. and laughing about getting the
best of the guard"

VALUABLE FIND.
Bonds Secreted So Securely as tn Es
cape Observation of Thieves.


Last Friday some boys were playing about
a culvert near Dunn-Loring and were at
tracted by the shining links of a SURVEYOR 8
