A severe arraignment of the Indians
of the Ponce, Oso and Oikland r SER
walton in Oklahoma, is nude by
Agent Irwin. in charge of tn. reserva-
ton, in his annual report to the COM
missioner of Indian %afflirs. The re-
port says: Hardly any of the young
Indisns, those who have graduated
from the reservation schools, as we'll
as those who hAvJ attended for a mum
Der OF years, do any work at all. 1t
can be set down as a perfectly safe
rule that as a class the young edu-
Gated Indians are the most worthless
ones of the whole tribe. Nearly al
the woik done by the tribes is per
formed by the middleaged, ablebodied
ones who can act write or speak Eng
lish. The educated Indian comes
from the schools, usually gives the
excuse that he has nothing with which
to work, neither moner, implements
nor stock of any kind. This is true,
but I notice that they manage to live
on their annuities and buy horses,
buggies, etc., on credit and borrow
money from the banks with very little
prospect of ever being able to pay
their debts. Any alb ebodied man or
woman is able to obtain work at fair
wages. Many OF the people are adj
to drink, and both women and
are inveterate gamblers. They
have practically nothing to do. Their
days are spent in almost utter idle
ness, and vice and bebauchery are
rampant. The degradation of these
people will continue and increase I'M
til they are made to work and live by
the results of their labors." AS u
remedy for this condition of ahlirs
the agent recommends that the Indian
children be educlted only at reserva-
ton boarding schools, further educa-
ton being 80 per cent waste OF effort
and money; that the schools under the
jurisdiction of the Oklahoma govern
ment DO established among those In
dams so that the latter can come into
constant contact with white children.
and that the pawn nts by the govern
ment of their trust funds, now in the
United States Treasury, be used to
enable them to start in farming and
STOCK raising.

DINNER FOR HUNDREDS OF POOR
Volunteers of American Entertain =
Large and Apprecintive Party.

Volunteer of American Entertain =
Large and Apprecintive Party.
The Volunteers of America fed hun
dreds Of poor people yesterday. Captain
Rotzel estimated at / o'clock that about
200 or $50 had been fed from the bountles
which were heaped up in the headquarters
at lis North Fifteenth street. Before
night, when the free dispensing Of food
ceased, several hundred more partook Of the
good things 30 generously provided.
The Volunteers had advertised that their
feast would be begun at 10 o'clock In the
morning and continue until 5 In the after
noon, but they we're unavoidably detained
In getting started, so continued operations
later n the evening.
Some little time before 10 o'clock "a
large crowd Of men, women and children
had gathered outside OF the Volunteer
headquarters. Many carried baskets.
These had come, not to sit and feast at
the tables inside, but to carry away food
for their families at home. Finally when
the doors were opened by Captain Rotzer
the mob surged and swayed withoutj there
was great disorder. II was evident that hum
ger had not reached the extreme Of enact
alton with some, at least, for they pushed
and damned and crowded in their anxiety
to get to the tables first, displaying con-
siderably more physical strength than long
denied appetites would warrant. This
lasted but a few seconds, however, for the
long pair OF tables was filled in a tify.
Still there was a throng without. But as
fast as the tables were cleared others were
admitted and this will be kept UP until
the food runs out and, It is hoped, all are
fed.
"Of course there are some who do not
belong here" thoughtfully remarked Cap
tain Rotzer, as he scanned the motley
crowd awaiting turns outside the humble
little quarters. but then, you see. we
can't discriminate. In this number are
many who need, In fact, most are such,
we think, and 1t is not for US to say who
can and who cannot eat at these tables or
take away food with them.
"If there are a few imposters"-and no
one who looked over that throng, composed
Of white and black, interpreted with
big, brawny men, need doubt for a mo-
ment that there were imposters-'there
are many more who are not and 50 we
feed all who come" continued the little
man with a blue uniform and the modest
insignia which distinguished him es the
captain Of the little band Of Volunteers Of
America. He and all his aides seemed
thoroughly happy in their work Of charity.
Captain Rotzer said ample provisions had
been collected for this free Thanksgiving
dinner. It required an normous store to
accommodate the voracious appetites. To
stand and watch those crowds eat was a
spectacle OF interest. There was an element
of pathos in it, too, despite the tact that
many looked quite able to be giving rather
than accepting aims. Yet the numbers Of
decrepit old men, feeble women, frail chill
dren, white and black, all poorly clad. was
proof enough tina Captain Rotzer spoke
we'll when he said It would be hard to say
who could eat and who could not.

does not care whether he is called an artist
or a legitimate comedian. AS he himself
says he is an accident, that is. he became
an actor by accident, and 1t is due to this
accident that he will be seen at the Boyd
