PlUTE DANCE
is NOW IN
FULL SWING
About Three Hundred Indians
Including the Visitors, Are
Taking Part Nightly
EOUR NOTED CHIEFS ARE HERE
The Big War Dance Is Announ-
eed to Take Place Tonight
The Real Thing

Half the people in town we're out
to the Indian camp last night to wit
ness the dancing. The grounds were
lighted by numerous sage brush fires,
and that with the smoke, the dust,
the dusky dancers and the spectators,
the atmosphere was about as thick
as it ever gets. The visitors felt re-
paid for their walk, although it did
seem that the Piute braves and their
ladies' might have put little more en-
ergy into the exercise.
The dancers dance without music
unless the low, monotonous chant of
a selected quartette, themselves in the
circle, can be called music. The par
tlcipants gather in circle, take q
a hitch On their trousers-that is.
the men do-pull their blankets close
around them, light their cigarettes,
join hands and dance to beat the
music, at least it would seem that this
is the object.
There are about 300 Indians in the
camp. Among the prominent chiefs
present are Captain David Numana OF
Wadsworth, a member of the United
States Indian Police, and chief of all
the Piutes in Nevada, Captain Bill
Toy of Battle Mountain, Chaplain Jim
of Golconda, and Chief Big John OF
Pleasant Valley, They are shown
greatest Difference by their triDesmen,
and their frequent short addresses list
ened to with profound respect.
The chiefs mentioned request the
Silver State to say that it is their
earnest desire that the visitors bring
no intoxicating liquors to the camp.
They DO not want the Indians to get
the taste of liquor at ALL but espec-
tally during the big dances-a very
god idea too.
White Chief Biggins, or the White
Father" as the Piutes call him. was
very much at home last night, hob
nobbing with the dignitaries and act
ing as advisory committee on enter
tGinment. During his younger days
the sedate senator used to count that
day lost, whose low descending sun
viewed not at his hand some ten or
twelve Indian sclaped, and thus the
learned to respect him, and later on to
love him as a friend.
Some of the visiting Indians are edu-
Gated and up-to-date, as A. NJ. Latta
found out. He asked of one brave,
whose face he did not recognize, "You
campee here? You savee?" The red
man sized him up for a minute and
then, indicating a nearby tent, quiet
ly replied: That is my temporary
residence"
The war dance, not a fake or imita-
ton, but the real thing, will be given
tonight, and Captain Bill Toy informs
us that it will begin promptly at
o clock. A purse was raiser today as
as tnducement to only men, who are
capable Of giving the dance, and there
will be some twelve or fourteen in the
may whirl. 1t is said that no one
will regret going to see this dance,
which is as much a novelty to the
young Indians as to the whites.

Hanna Insists

CHICAGO, Oct 1S-United States
Senator Mark Hanna presided at
yesterdays session of the Nation
al Civic Federation conference. The
conference ends tonight and it is not
considered unlikely that before ad-
jcurhment Recommendation advising
labor organizations and employers as
sociations to use the greatest conser-
vatism from now on in view of present
Industrial conditions will be adopted
All exclusive session at which prob
ably the advisability of making some
such recommendation will, it is an
nounced be held.
Ex-Judge Waterman, of the local
branch of the federation, introduced
Senator Hanna, the president of the
National Civic Federation. Mr.. Han
NJ spoke of the Importance of the work
engaged in and the success in bringing
together capital and labor which it
first seemed to him impossible.
Much, he said. was due to the CO.
servative element of labor organiza-
tions. He expressed hope for the fu-
ture and said that members of the
federation, who at first were reluctant
to join, were now the most actice mem
bers. Since his connection with an
Ohio strike thirty years ago, he said,
ne had made up his mind there was a
way to settle difficulties. The future
of success in the industrial world, the
senator said, would be largely guided
Dy the civic federation movement,
which started here four years ago
Inc duty of employers was greater
than that of employees, and the duty
OF eonciliation essential to the public
welfare
Future success in maintaining in
dustrial success was a greater matter
than the question of who is the next
president Captains of industry he
said, and the other side were only too
willing to learn from teachers, who
have had experience. Distrust preached
Oy labor leaders he declared to be an
unfair proposition. There is not any
real differences that cannot be settled
but fair dealing was necessary. He
referred to the wastefulness of strikes
and lockouts, and the effect they had
on capital and labor and how aid In
the movement of the federation could
help all.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, fol-
lowed: He expressed his appreciation
of the work of the federation and de-
sired to correct misapprehension
which, he said. existed in the minds of
some regarding organized labor, and
Gle ar false notions, so labor and cap
ital could go along hand in hand, in

country He replied to T. f. Wood
lock, a New York editor, who in an
address said that because of the reac-
ton in business now confronting the
country, labor should make no unreas-
enable demands upon the employer.
He said:
IF the time comes to suggest the
of the employer to cut
ting or making any attempt to cut
wages it will be disputed by US. We
will make a stand against it. not be
cause it is unwise. but because it sim
ply accentuates the industrial crisis
and gives it greater strenth."

REGARDED IN LONDON
AS A FLlMSY PRETEXT

LONDON. Nov. 2S.--Ths news that the
Russian government is sending more
troops TO the Far East under the pre-
text they are needed to aid Admiral
Alexieff in stamping out outlaWry in
Manchuria has created something OF a
sensation in diplomatic circles here.
II is generally held that the reason
assigned at St. Petersburg is far great
ct than claimed. and that the real rea-
son is the desire to have large force
on hand ready for land operations
should war with Japan come in the
near future. Russia already has a large
force Of men IN AIanchuria. and there Is
no doubt that II Admiral Aiexieff had

with the action of Russia in sending ad-

press Dowager 5000 weIl-armed men,
and Russia is believed to desire TO have

IL is thought that the bandit pretext
has been seized upon in order to avoid
