SEQUOYAH's BONES FOUND

In letter to the Kansas City Times
from Snyder, Okla, comes a story that
a farmer named Franehe, in crossing
the mountains about seven miles from
there, discovered the bones of a human
being, supposed to have been killed
by the Indians about a century ago.
On the ground near the bones were the
iron parts of a f1intlock rifle, a pair of
bullet molds, three bars of lead and
a Jefferson medal, bearing the date of
1901. When Sequoyah departed from
the Cherokee nation, he is supposed to
have gone south or west. With him
he took an old-time fintlock rifle and
was said to be the proud possessor of
a Jefferson medal bearing the date of
1901. Nothing has ever been learned
of the end Of Sequoyah-where he jour
neyed, how long he lived, or how he
passed away.
Now comes the Rev. w. A. Duncan,
a Cherokee of the old school. and says
these are not the bones of Sequoyah,
the Cadmus of the Cherokees. Sequo-
yah went off into the Southwest in
search of health, as far as New Mex
leo, and possibly as far as the Rio
Grande. Becoming i'll. Sequoyah re-
manned somewhere in the Southwest
and sent his son back for aid. When
the sons party returned in search of
the old man no trace of him could be
found, nor has his last resting place.
ever been discovered When the news
of the recent Oklahoma find was made
public, Mrs. L. L. Keys, of this place,
a distant relative of Sequoyah, wrote
to Mr. Franche about the discovery,
and the latter offered to pay her ex-
penses to Oklahoma if she would go
and view the find. She. however, was
unable to go
The Rev. Mr.. Duncan discredits the
story. He says the medal dates too
far back; Jefferson was made president
in 1901, but Sequoyah did not invent his
alphabet until 1921 and no one at
Washington could have known of the
invention until after that date. The |
United States government learned of |
the invention in 1925, when Thomas L. |
commiss ioner of Indian af- |
fairs, December 10, in a letter address |
ed to the Secretary of War, described |
the new invention and sent a copy of |
the new Cherokee alphabet. On March !;

BASEBALL LEAGUE
TAKES NO ACTION

The meeting of the Baseball League
| last evening at Elks' Hall failed to take
| any action in the matter of the appli-
cation of the Marine baseball team to
enter the League for the season s
games.
This was due to misunderstanding
of the instructions to the team man
ayers who met last Saturday to confer
on the matter. j. o. Car ter, Jr., man
ager of the Punahou team, and chair
man of the managers meeting, was
not present at the opening of the meet
ing last evening owing to the weather,
but came in later. In the meantime it
was shown that at the meeting of the
managers, Lieut.. Harlee, representing
the Marine team, had not been present
to give his argument in favor of his
team playing, and also to make a def
mite statement of what he expected
from League in the way of expenses.
The motion made at the League meet
ing last Friday. which created the spe-
cial committee, clearly stated that the
managers were to meet in conference
with Lieut.. Harlee.
On this showing, the matter was re-
ferred back to the managers to report
at some future time. Mr.. Carter came
in as the meeting was about to adj
journ. On hearing what had been done,
Mr.. Carter stated that he did not un-
derstand the original motion creating
the special committee. carried with it
the proviso that Lieut.. Harlee was to
have been present at the meeting.
The matter of umpires was also set !,
over to future meeting.
President Isenberg stated that he in
ended going to Kauai today and would
not be back for some time, and he adj
used that a member of the trustees be :,
elected by the League to act as pres
dent temporarily. Harry Whitney was
elected. AS Secretary
4orrin Andrews leaves today on the
sierra en- route to Washington, Frank
:. Thompson was elected temporary
ecretary.
The temporary president will call
pecial meeting at an early date in or
er TO hear the report of the managers
n the question of the Marines playing
I the League.

Several days ago an execution was

appeal had been taken which acted as
a stay of execution. The appeal was
knocked out in court yesterday and
the execution was again in force. But
the play people could not understand
such a kink In their affairs and there
was considerable noise before the thea

But the closing of the Hotel street
theater gave fresh impetus to the one
on Liliha street. The latter was crowd
ed all DAY and during last evening.
During the entire day the police and
gamblers played hide and seek. The
police would no sooner break UP one
game and start after another than the
first one broken up would again be go

about ten by twelve feet in size Mos
quito nets covered two large hunks

of the room. There We're clean mats

side contained a varied collection of
fruits, nuts, candies and other edibles.
There was also bottle of whiskey and
glasses and a couple of cigars The
wives of the two Chinese were resplend-

faces for these had been painted in half
the colors of a Tantalus rainbow. And
those two men and women were as

Theater Closed by Order

Lively Times in Oriental Section
as Starter for the
Year.

There were lively times in Chinatown
yesterday.
The Chinese thought that the police
would permit them to conduct gam
bling openly on account of the day
being the first of the Chinese New
Year, and daylight had hardly made
it's appearance before dozens of small
tables, laden with gambling devices,
were in shape. BY eight O'Clock
hundreds of people were gathered in
the lanes leading to the Chinese thea
ter off Hotel street and to the Chinese
theater off Liliha street.
For several years it has been the
custom for the Chinese to gamble
openly in these lanes on the first day
of the year. The law has usually been
reefed up for a day in order to permit
what is almost a national custom to
be carried out by them. Last year
Gov. Carter, then Secretary of the
Territory, and High Sheriff Brown
swooped down on these places and
stopped the sport Yesterday the
High Sheriff early issued instructions
that these men should not be allowed
to conduct their operations.
Very early in the day officer Renear
and several others visited the lane
leading into the Hotel street theater.
The place was packed with people, all
surrounding numerous small tables on
which the game known as Russian
War; a gamble with big odds in favor
of the bank winning, was being
played. Renear scattered the Chinese
right and left. One gambler became
angry and defied Renear There was
a moments scuffle and Renear started
to push his opponent through the
crowded lane and out into the street
A couple of hundred Chinese immedi-
ately commenced to shout and made a
that there was no leader among the
crowd a riot was averted. The Chi.
nese stood in groups discussing the
affair and roundly scoring the police
for breaking up their games on a day
so sacred to them.
Leaving Hotel street the officers went

nothing could be seen of gamblers

PREVENTS BAD FIGURES.

A narrow, hard bed is said to be the
best preventive of bad figures. If one
can also forego pillows, SO much the bet
ter.
Women with round shoulders and
double chins have means provided for
their cure if they are heroic enough to
give up the downy couch in which they
revel When one thinks of it, the place
and position in which one spends a third
OF every twenty-four hours must have
an effect upon the figure.

NURSING MOTHERS

"A richer milk than milk "
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. IF
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

drawn by a frisky span came to grief
against telephone pole at the entrance
of the driveway leading to the front

way, there was a parting of straps, and
with a crash the carriage pole was
splintered against the telephone pole.
Quicker than it is told the occupants
found their feet on the ground. Men
from the Hawaiian Hotel Stables came
to the rescue and secured the frightened
animals. Farther down Hotel street the
off horse had SHE'D at an automobile.

Police Court Dull.

There was very little doing in the
Police Court Saturday morning. Har-
old Jeffs appeared on a charge of as
saut and battery. The charge grew
out of the quarrel he and Mrs. Luz
Pickerisle have been having for some
time over a fantail pigeon. The row
birds and the police are heartily sick of
it. All Sang. the Chinaman, appeared
on the charge of gross cheat but as he
had settled with Mrs. Dickey by paying
back the money he borrowed the case
was nolle pressed. All the other cases
went over.
