pranceo around the wide circle, the
bunaio head dragged and bumped
along the uneven ground, while the
pulilng and straining of the wooden
pegs IN their flesh sockets drew blood
from the Indian at every step.
Mr.. Seger says that few feet away
Prof. Mooney and Prof. Dorsey stood
taking notes, while a photographer
with the party took snapshot photo
graphs OF the mutilated Indian at every
new contortion. A brief investigation
by Supt. Seger disclosed the fact that
the mutllated Indian had got SIS to
torture himself and to perform the
dance. Others had been paid in like
proportion.
Supt. Seger does not say that Prof.
Mooney or Prof. Dorsey paid this
money, but merely that "the money
was paid He does say, however, that
the dance was organized by an Indian
who, for thirteen years, was a student
at the Garlic Indian School, and who,
since his graduation, has been in the
employ of the Government.
Mr. Seger adds the information that
there was no desire among the Indians
for this dance, and that outside of the
participants, who had worked them
selves up to pitch of fanatical frenzy,
there seemed to be little interest in the
affair.
AS the desire for a sun dance did
not originate with the Indians on this
occasion, and as the whole affair was
little like the original sun" dances of
years ago, when whole tribes parti-
cipated in the ceremonies, Mr.. Seger
says that such dance does not con-
stitute history and amounts to little
more than an expensive "pastime'
Officials of the Indian Bureau are not
as conservative as Supt. Seger. They
characterize the idea of the "sun"
dance under Government supervision
as an expensive fake, exclusive of the
humanitarian aspect, and says that if
Prof. Mooney is allowed to print his
observations of the torture rite within
the covers of Government publication
there will be all kinds of trouble.
Commissioner Jones, to say the least,
is considerably disturbed over the mat
ter, and he will bring the report of
Supt. Seger to the attention of the
Secretary of the Interior, with the re-
quest that the proper action be taken.
Prof. Mooney, when seen this after
noon admitted that he had been pres
ent at the sun dance complained of
by Supt. Seger, but denied that he had
given Indians money to torture and
mutilate themselves. Prof. Mooney
would not go into details regarding the
DUrnOSeS the ''perSonally cO0ducted'
''sun" dance was expected to serve, but
will undoubtedly be called upon for an
explanation within a few days.

and Wounds Her Manager.

Philadelphia, August, 5.-In fit of
jealous rage, Lou" Heine, a gypsy,
shot and killed his wife last night in a
tent at Woodside Park, one of the
pleasure resorts of the city. After
killing the woman, Heine probably
fatally shot a young man named
George Roberts, who was with the
woman, knocked down several by
ISLANDERS, and made his way to the
adjacent woods, where he succeeded
in making good his escape. Mrs. Heine
was a fortune-teller, and her husband
acted as her manager. The couple
had quarrelled, and the husband de-
serted her. Mrs. Heine then engaged
the young man to take her husband
place as manager and when the nus
band learned of this he went to Wood
side and killed the wife.

rock I by Sir Thomas Lipton's new cup
candidate, today. No shifts of wind

without a flaw.
An overcast sky with threatening
rain induced Mr.. Fife to limit the
course to 20 miles, a beat Of 10 miles
south-southeast from Scotland Light
ship and return. To avoid another
blanketing by the challenger, Sham
rock I feigned a start. Running from
windward to the starting line she shap-

as the latter CROSSED the line. A
minute later she put about, returned to
the line and made new start. The
starting time of two minutes had
elapsed before she got away and she
was handicapped eight seconds. Sham
rock III led by 1 minute and AZ seconds
when they reached the beat out to the
mark.
The boats went off on different
tacks, but Shamrock III soon tackled
and both headed eastward. The chal-
lenger quickly demonstrated that it
was the kind Of weather in which she
was at her best. The old boat hardly

and after short lacks turned the mark

SUN DANCE MAKES TROUBLE.
Government Officials will be Asked to
Explain.

Washington, Aug. GA serious con-
troversy, which will probably result
N rigid investigation, has arisen be-
tween the officials of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Eth
nology, over the recent revival of the
sun" dance by the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians in Oklahoma.
AS is well-known, the Government,
through the Indian Service, has been
endeavoring for years to induce its
Indian wards to abandon their savage
customs, among thern the barbarous
ghost" and sun" dances, with their
accompanying features of madness,
mutilation. physical ruin and death.
1t succeeded so we'll that for years
there has been no regular sun dance,
this rite having been succeeded by the
less Objectionable corn feast" and
peace" dances.
An official report received today by
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
from Supt. Seger. of the Seger Colony
Indian Training School of Oklahoma,
says. however, that the work of years
has been undone and "sun" dance un-
der the direct auspices of Government
The men named by Supt. Seger are
Prof. James Mooney, assistant chief of
the Bureau of Ethnology, and Prof.
George A. Dorsey, curator of anthro-
pology of the Field Columbian Museum
of Chicago.
Supt. Seger was present during a
portion of the personally conducted
''sun" dance. held for purposes of
Observa tion." He was at the Indian
school when he was informed that a
sun dance was being held at point
in the Territory about fifty miles south
Although he did not believe the ru-
NOR the barbarous rite not having been
held in that vicinity for fifteen wears
he made hurried trip and found that
the report was true. Although he ar
rived rather late. he found the dance
still in progress.
In his letter to Commissioner Jones
in which he gives a vivid account OF
the ceremony, he says he saw Indians
undergoing torture, and speaks of one
in particular who, although almost
at the limit of physical endurance was
