CRAZY SNAKE NEXT CHIEF
Warrior Now in Washington Regarded
as His Probable Successor, But
Cares Little.

Iah-T Niece, executive head of the
snake Indians. the dissatisfied tribe of
the Creek nation. is now chasing the
buffalo and scalping the paIeface on the
happy hunting grounds. This state OF
primeval bliss in the shades of the
spiritland is due to his lack of wood
craft In allowing the limb of a tree TO
fall upon his head and kill him in
stantly. according to a dispatch from
Scipio, 1. T.
Probable Successor Here.
The announcement is of Importance TO
Chitto HarJo, known as Crazy Snake.
who is now in Washington. and who is
expected to succeed Lah-Ta- Niece.
Crazy Snake is fighter and head OF
the warriors of the Snake Indians. He
has been in Washington with q delega-
ton from the tribe for two months.
trying TO persuade the Intesior Depart
ment. not TO subdiyide thte lands of the
Snakes. but to let them remain as they
are now.
Crazy Snake speaks no English, but
Is counted good orator in his own
language He has presented his side of
the land case with much eIoquencc
pointing out TO. the department that the
old treaties with the Creeks provided
that they should hold their lands "as
long as the wind shall blow and the
rivers run" The winds are still blow
ing and the rivers running, and as
Crazy Snake and his followers think
that what was good enough for their
hunting, scalping foref&thers Is good
enough for them, they are trying to
head of the allotment of the common
land to individuals.
Not Anxious for leadership.
Crazy Snake and his fellows heard OF
the death of Niece without enthusiasm
or regret. accepting the incident in true
stole fashion. Crazy Snake was de-
feated by Niece for the headship of the
tribe four years ago, and he will prob
ably be elected his successor, but he
does not seem overanxious for the place.
He has been impressed with the stories
OF the assassination of rulers, and has
a suspicion that some jealous rival for
honors might put him out of the way.
1t is said he suspects that Micco's I'M
timely transfer to the happy hunting
grounds might have been brought about
more by design than by accident.
Crazy Snake and his delegation will
not go home until they get the price of
a ticket from the tribe, as they are out
of funds.

CITIZENS DENOUNCE
THE COMBINATION CARS
Northeast Association Will
Appeal to Congress.
COMMISSIONERS P0WERLESS
Illness Along Columbia Line Attributed
to Riding in "Mongrel" Accom-
modations Provided.

Should the Columbia street car line
continue in its present practice of run
ming open cars in the cold weather, il is
likely the matter will be brought be-
fore Congress through the efforts of
the Northeast Citizens Association.
That body has been alive in its crusade
against this menace TO public health
since last year. when IL succeeded in
having open cars removed from the c
and Street lines, However. these cars
were transferred TO the Columbia line
as soon as the latter company could en-
large its barns.
The Northeast Citizens Association
made an appeal to have the open cars
on New York Avenue and II Street re-
placed by closed trains. Those in use
are commonly described as half-open
and half-closed. AS a matter of fact,
they are about one-third closed, and
fewer than twenty-five persons could
crowd the closed space to suffocation
In consequence, any over that number
must sit outside. with no protection
from the cold and danger of pneumonia.
Without Power to Act.
The appeal made to the Commissioners
by the Northeast Citizens Association
was referred TO the Corporation Counsel
with a request from the association that
a police regulation should be made on
the ground of protection of public health
requiring the car lines to run only closed
cars I'm certain months. or when the
temperature was below a certain point
After consideration the Corporation
Counsel gave his opinion that the Com
missioners had no power to control the
street car regulations. even to this ex-
tent.
When seen by 2 reporter for The
Times today Evan Tucker. president of
the Northeast Citizens Association, said:
The matter now is manifestIy under
the sole control of Congress in that
Congress grants the charters for street
railways, and. though always reserving
the right to amend or repeal these char
tiers, that body alone has the authority
to say what shall and shall not be done
in regulating the lines. A clause in the
charter of the Columbia company pro-
vides for all modern improvements for
the convenience and comfort of passen-
gers. Running open cars in dead winter
certainly does not conduce to either con-
venlence or comfort. and so the COM
pany is practically breaking its charter
every time it sends one Of these cars
out of the barns. Persons in the north
east section Of Washington attribute
the major part of current sickness to
the exposure induced by riding on this
line.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

Well, what in such paper aud
what issit expe cted to do
1t is supposed to be one which
gives the current important hap
pepnings from the town aud vicin-
ity in which 1t is published and as
much of the general news of inter
est as it can according to its space
aud means. without negleeting the
details Of its regular work which
more or less brings IN the main
part of its revenue.
Now, this is what we look upon
as an up-todate country newspaper
or localizer. We do not consider
that trivial local or general items
of the same character ought neees-
sarily have place in the town
papers columns.
1hon, again country papers
have neither time, space or dispo-
sition to publish long windy ar
ticles, which always consume time
and interfere with localizing, gath
ering paid notices, advertising, etc
What country paper is or will
bo depends upon what the town S
people helps to make it, In other
words, IL a seasonable local comes
to hand, bring it to the paper and
thus impart it to the public. Ii
you know anyone who would take
a paper, send him around to The
editor. The price of subscription
is never lost, and then no family
ought to be without their local
paper -Er.
