Amount Needed Is ST. 900.

The amount needed is $1,000. This
sum, added to what could be procured
from the Government, would amply
suffice, in the opinion of those qualified
to place an estimate, to bring to Wash
ington a squad of the most famous In
dian chiefs now living These would
represent the Indian OF the old era
They would ride together at the head
of the Indian parade and would be fol-
lowed by squad from the Carlisle In
dian School.
To make the contrast as strong as
possible, the old chiefs, all of whom
viii be men who fought against the
advances of the white man, would be
dressed in their tribal robes while the
Carlisle cadets would wear their simple
uniforms.
Among the chiefs whose presence
could be arranged for is Geronimo the
great Apache, who is now confined TO
reservation Geronimo is now ans old
man, as are the other famous chiefs
If he were TO appear in Washington
with the distinguished old warriors of
other tribes, a spectacle would be pre-
scented such as has never been seen be-
fore nor can possibly be seen again.
The question of bringing these Indians
to the inauguration will be discussed
among the members of the inaugural
committee, and if it is decided that no
special appropriation can be made then

uiarIy interested in the plan will at once

To Show Evolution of
North Americas
Red Men.
A QUESTION OF EXPENSE
Government Funds Gould
Not Be Appropriated for
the Purpose.

Great interest has been aroused among
those concerned in the preparations for
the inauguration of President Roosevelt
over the prospect of having an Indian
feature of the civic parade. 3. II. War
ner, chairman of the committee on civic
organizations, and Francis E Leupp,
recently appointed Indian commission
er, had a conference on the subject last
night. and discussed plans for carrying
out the idea suggested in a letter re-
ceived by MIR. Warner two, weeks ago,
which is that the Indian exhibit should
be arranged to show the evolution of
the North American Indian under the
influence of the white man.
The trouble that confronts Mr.. War
ner now is how to get the necessary
funds TO carry out the project Certain
legitimate expenses would, of course, be
betrayed by the Government, but off.
Gals under whose jurisdiction such ar
engagements would come are not willing
to stretch any points in the law to ap-
propriate Government funds for the
bringing of the red men to Washington.
Il may be that the inaugural commit
tee will feel disposed to lay aside sum
for this purpose, but if it does not Their
an effort will be made to raise a spe-
Clal fund for this purpose
