FIVE PERSONS BURNED.

New York, November 16.--At least
five persons were burned to death In
an Italian tenement house fire at No.
22f East Seventy-third Street .early
to-day. The house was six-floors high
and the sleeping tenants on the I'VE
upper floors were held prisoners by
the flames with the ground floor a
raging furnace below them. Three Of
those who lost their lives were kneel-
Ing In prayer when the fire reached
them. Within the first hour after the
fire was controlled the bodies of three
women and two men had been taken
from the stairways between the Sec
ond and third floor.- The dead are

government. With Superintendent Clin.
ton J Crandall of the Santa Fe Indian
school, the officers arrived In Jemez
Saturday in time for the famous har-
vest dance. one Of the most sacred
and impressive Of the New Mexico In.
dams ceremonials. Mr.. Fornoff des-
cribes 1t as being one Of the most i'm
pressive Indian ceremonies he has
ever witnessed. II was not deemed ad-
visable to take any action before the
dance, but Immediately after the cere-
mony the governor of the village. Jose
Ruy China, was asked to Join the Of
ficers in little trip to Albuquerque.
The governor is wise and made no OBJ
lection. The lieutenant governor and
secretario to his excellency Santiago
Mana was then approached and also
consented without trouble. when IT
came to Cacaiqui Jose Manuel Yeba,
the most powerful man of the village,
an old man and for years the leader
and official religious head Of the pueb-
10. the trouble commenced. Yeba did
not want 10 come. His dignity was
offended and he almost declined. but
the officers made their request more
urgent and he finally consented. The
old high priest of the tribe attempted
TO carry his gun with him on the trip,
but this was forbidden. He was ugly
all the way across and is still deeply
grieved at his arrest although his i'm
prisonment has tended TO reduce his
naughty bearing somewhat.
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1905-11-16

Seven years ago upon orders OF
Yeba, the United, States mail was
+. stopped this side Of the pueblo in the
same way. The matter was brought
btfore the grand jury but there was no
prosecution. This time 1t was thought
best to give the Indians lesson. and
they will be held here until December
4th, when the case will come up for
hearing before Judge Abbott. There
Is a double purpose in the detention of
Yeba. The Jemez Indians Of all the
Pueblo tribes of New Mexico. are the
only ones who decline to allow their
children TO attend the government In
dian schools. This is attributed by
the men who know the Indians 10 the
resctionary influence of Yeba, who Is
of the old school. II Is believed that
If Yeba can be brought to understand
the beneficial purposes of the white
man. he may cease his objections and
allow the little ones Of his pueblo to
60 to the school In Santa Fe.
Yeba Is one of the most influential
Of all the Pueblo Indians. In his own
tribe he is not only the legal adviser
but he is the religious dictator, the
Old Man Of all the Old Men of the
village and far above the governor In
the actual administration of village
affairs, the governor being largely an
official figurehead Among the other
Putblos he is known and famed for
his skill in medicine and his learning
in the traditions Of the tribes. He
does not take to his captivity kindly.

Jemez Indian pueblo IN the Jemel
mountains. The cause of the 1amen
tation which is both public and pri'
ate, Is found in the work OF Deputy
United States Marshals Harry Cooper
and Fred Fornoff, who arrived in AL
buquerque yesterday morning having
In custody the governor Of the village
the lieutenant governor thereof, and
the cacique, or in Indian, the master
OF the Estufa, or underground smoke
house. and the most powerful man In
thet pueblo.
The Indians. in fact the entire Jemez
pueblo Is charged with holding up
the United States mails. The Indians
are not charged wit trying to rob
the mails, but merely with holding
them up.
1t all came about in this wise. Last
summer while the Indians we're hold
! ing some dances OF especially secret
and sacred nature, the United States
mail wagon from Bernalillo was seen
jogging up the trail. The trail leads
right through the pueblo and the In
dams had visions of a white man see
ing the whole show It wouldn't do,
and the governor issued prOclama.
ton ordering his subjects to prompt
ly arrest and detain the United States
mail carrier until the ceremony should
have been fiished. The mail carrier
was detained.
It Is rather a serious matter to de-
tain the United States mail even when
Il is only a star route bound for Je-
mez Springs In New Mexico, but the
Indians didn't know. They are just
beginning to find out and there Is
deep sorrow in the experience. The
Indians were indicted by the late
United States grand jury sitting here.
The jury didn't know and couldn't find
out the particular Indians who held
up the mail, but II found out that 1t
was done on orders of the village gov
ernment. so the jury promptly indicted

Officers Fornoff and Cooper made
the trip to the pueblo Saturday return
ing yesterday morning. They found
the governor and his associates calm.
ly indifferent to warrants and sub
poenas. but when little persuasion
was used the official law dropped and
the official household prepared itself
to move. II is just now residing In
the Bernalillo county Jail pending
the sitting of the United States court
here next month.
Cacaiqui Couldn't Understand.
II Is the custom of the Indian de-
partment to send representative Of
