for Chief OF the TamAs
DIES MlINEs. Ia. April Ie-The stolid
silence which prevailed among the Tama
Indians until to-day gave way TO excited
discussion OF the murder Of the beautiful
Princess Mas-Che-Qua as a result OF the
arrest OF George Soldier, her eX-husband
and devoted admirer. Deputy United
States Marshal Healy has been enabled TO
develop a chain Of evidence that seems 70
point ooncusively to the commission Of
the murder for the purpose Of preventing
the girl from becoming the mother Of an
heir to the Chi 'ftainship who might displace
the present dynasty.
An old feud between the Sac and Fox
tribes, who jointly occup' the reservation
az TO which is entitled TO the ohieftainship
f. back Of series Of crimes that have oc-
CURED within the past year and have each
time gone unavenged despite the utmost
endeavors Of the Government authorities.
The Indians we're absolutely non-communi-
cative say ing they preferred TO settle their
differences In their own way.
John Sepo, an active part isan, related to
the prisoner, George Soldier. was murdered
six months ago, presumably by a rival in
love. Since then two pretty squaws have
been slain. Mas-Che-qua disappeared two
months ago, having last been seen with
her divorced husband, George Soldier.
The discovery Of her body Friday was
followed by Soldiers arrest and the con-
sequent discovery that he was probably
innocent and that the cold blooded crime
WAS committed for the mere purpose Of
exterminating rival dynasty.

Drive Out Passengers-FOur Arrests
A soore Of young hoodlums who had
been playing baseball in a vacant lot in
Harlem started down town togethe yes
terday afte moon in the first car Of a Sixth
avenue elevated train. They practically
had posse ssion Of the car from the start,
but didn't raise any great disturbance
until after the train had passed the Fifty
third street and Eighth avenue station.
Up to that time they had contented them
selves with throwing their big gloves around
and pounding the floor with the bats,
The boys, ell Of them around 10 years
of age, started rough house as the train
swung into Sixth avenue, Before the train
got TO Fiitieth street, they had broken sew
eral windows and smashed the electric
light globes. Having pretty well wre ckod
the car the rOughs ran hack 10 the next
one, The passengers hurried out into tho
third car and when the train reached Forty
second street most OF them got of.
The boys continued 10 work their way
back through the train, raising riot in each
car The guards could do nothing with
them. At The last car, however they met
Harry Hoffman, a big guard. He showed
fight. Hoffman got some bruis e., but he
managed 10 make his way through the cans
to the motorman, and had him blow the
whistle.
The train ran through Herald Square to
the Thirty-third street station with the
whistle shrieking, 1t attracted plenty Of
attention. Roundsman Corey and Police
men Smith, Brady and Norton, all Of the
Tenderloin station, heard the call for help
and ran for the station. The hoodlums
saw them coming and made a rush for the
street, They all got away but four who
we're taken 70 the station house.
The prisoners gave their names as Thomas
ONeili 10 years old, Of $50 West Twentieth
street; Lawrence Mulvauey, IS years old,
Of 1877 West Nineteenth street; ador Prince,
is years old, OF 81 East Eighth street, and

Eighth street The two younger boys were
later transferred TO the care Of the Gerry
society.
Prince and Stoinherz told the police that
they had not been raising any disturbance
on the train. The other boys, they said,
belonged 10 a different party.

HAVEN'T GOT JOYCE MURDERER.
Police Say He Has Escaped From CITY
Rumors Of New Captain for TenderIOin.


Rumors we're rife around the Tenderloin
yesterday that Capt. Cottrell, who has
been in command Of the precinct for some
months, would soon be transferred TO some
less strenuous district. Police Commits
sioner McAdoo, il was said, was not little
displeased at the way things had been
going there Of late. He was particularly
displeased, it was said, at the condition
brought TO light by the murder Of Kid
Joyce in Tobey's underground drinking
place, at Thirty-frst street and Broadway.
Mr.. McAdoo, il was said, had decided
that some one should be called to account
for allowing such a place to stay open
and traffic in liquor at 2:SO o'clock in the
morning. Over 100 men and women we're
in and about the place when the murder
occurred. Then, too, the murder brought
to notice the fact that another saloon,
farther up Broadway near Forty-second
street, was open and doing business at the
same hour. Several persons ran from
Tobey's after the murder and went 70
the other cafe
The police now hint that they have been
bafied in getting the man who killed one
man and seriously injured two others.
There are three different sets Of policemen
working on the case-the Tenderloin de-
tectives. three men from INSPECTOR Mo
Lughlin's Office. and number Of Central
Office detective sergeants. They are not
throwing bouquets at each other.
Some Of the detectives thought on Satur-
day night that they were going to nab the

Was Fighting the Preachers VIE.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1e.-In a fight in
the Holmes Church at Lebanon, Boone
county, last night, Oscar johnson, one Of
the members, was stabbed in the back
by the Rev. John Dodge, the pastor. and
was so severely injured that it is thought
he will die. The Coroner to-day took
Johnsons ante-mortem statement.
The trouble among the members OF the
Holiness congregation began over an invi-
tation to a negro preacher to make some
remarks from the pulpit. The discussion
became heated and personal. Miss Mamie
Chambers ne vented one remark by slapping
the pastor In the face. Mrs. Dodge came
to tie relief Of her husband, and the two
women were fighting in the church when
johnson went TO the assistance Of Mis-
Chamber, who was getting the worst Of il.
Then Dodge drew his knife and plunged
the blade into Johnson's back.
johnson said in HE statement to-day
that he did not go 10 the assistance Of Miss
Chambers as against the pastors wife,
but as a friend Of both with a view 10 pre-
serving the peace He did not know that
Mr. Dodge was near until he felt the knife
thrust into his back and looking up saw the
pastor standing over him. Dodge is out
on bond.

instantly. When the secretary Of the
Sunday school heard the shot he rushed into
the room and found Rider sitting upright
on a bench in a corner, with blood tricking
down his face. The act was premeditated,
as was shown by the fact that he left two
silver dollars wrapped up In a paper and a
note requesting that they be given 10

very fond
Mr.. Duckworth said that Rider had been
drinking for several days past and when
he reached the church and saw the janitoT's

was about 70 years old and at one time
was a captain in the British merchant

ALLEGHENY. Pa, April io.-The city
fathers Of Allegheny do not like the $1,000
organ which Andrew Carnegie gave them
for their Carnegie library some years ago
and will ask him for a new one. B j. Nc
Ilvaine Of the Department Of Public Works
has been delegated either TO write Mr..
Carnegie or see him In person and show
to him that the organ Is not at all fitted now
for the uses Of Allegheny.
It has been ascertained that 1t would
take 50, 900 to bring the organ up TO date,
and it has been thought cheaper to ask
for n new one. A man must be an acrobat
20 play the present organ, and music lovers
have their minds taken OF the melody
in watching his antics.
Mr.. Carnegie is 20 be asked also to pro-
vide an organ for the Allegheny County
Jail. Should Mr.. Carnegie protest or de-
muir he will be told that Henry Phipps
thought IL well 10 furnish the Convicts at
Riverside Penitentiary with a $40 900 con-
servatory. William X. Reed, a member Of
the State Prison Board, dropped in at divine
service at the jail to-day. The disCordant
voices Of some Of the conviCts were out
done by a wheezy old organ which dis
gusted Mr.. Reed gre atty and he said after
the church service:
L shall at on % AJAX Mr.. Carnegie for an
organ TO be placed in the jail. Mr.. Phipps

MAY FREE FRICKS ASSAILANT
Friends OF Berkmann 20 Test Law which
NAV shorten Ills Sentence.

PTTTsBURo, April IA movement is on
foot among the friends Of Alexander Berk-
mann, who il serving a twenty-two-year
sentence for attempting to assassinate II. c.
Prick, to have him liberated from Riverside
Penitentiary not later than July a. 1909
a trihe over eight years before the time set
for his liberation by the Judge who SEN
fenced him.
It ia proposed 10 take advantage Of what
il known as the Communication law, enacted
in 1901 for the purpose, II Is asserted, only
Of liberating a prominent Philadelphia poll
tician then in prison. but still in force though
il has never been tested.
This law provides that with the consent
Of the Board Of Governors and the Governor
Of the State two months shall be cut OF
for good behavior in the first year Of
sentence over twenty years, three months
the second year, four months the third
and fourth and five months for each year
thereafter. This, the friends OF BerlImann
say, will secure his liberation on July "A
1905
He was sentenced TO twenty-one years
in prison and one year to the county work
house on July "a, 1892. He had shot and
stabbed Mr.. Prick in his Office only two
months before that.
That there will be bitter fight almost
goes without saying. Those who would
like 10 see BerkmRnn remain behind the bars
as long as his sentence would hold him
which might be up until the first Of
1918, take the ground that his friends are
wrong in their mathematics and that the
prisoner will have no night to time of In
