Sunday.

Miss Martha Kuhnel. "A school teacher.

Both women are certain Warren Is the
negro that attacked them.
Warren was arrested yesterday by
Policeman Blake. Of the Seventh pre-
scriptiOn furnished by the two women
Mrs Keck got an excellent view Of the
negro before he SnatChed her purse, and
she is positive Warren is the man. He
denies the allegation, but the police say
he has been unable to give an account
Of his movements on the afternoon the
assault occurred.
The police are inclined to the belief
that Warren is the colOrcd man who
several weeks ago assaulted Mrs. George
T. Dunlop. wife Of the president Of the
Capital Traction Company, and grabbed
a pOCketbOOk from her hand almost d.
rectly in front OF her residence, S102 q

MONSEN LECTURES
ON CUSTOMS OF
DESERT INDIANS
Makes Graphic Address
on Tribes He Has
Painted.
Geographic Society Has
Meeting in Hubbard
Hall.

''The Indians of the Painted Desert
was the subject of an interesting and in
structive illustrated lecture by Fred
erick MOnsen before the National Geo
graphic Society In Hubbard Memorial
Hall last evening. The peculiaritieS.
habits, home life, and dress of the Nav
ajos. Apaches. Mojaves, Hopi. Rio
Grande. and other Indians were vividly
portrayed. both on canvas and in words
by the lecturer. and for two hours his
audience was held in rapt attention. Mr..
Monsen is an artist Of much talent and
ability and has spent eighteen years in
Arizona, living IN the closest contact
with the redskins in order that his
paintings might be true to life.
Desert Indians Are Exclusive.
These tribes are the most exclusive
extant. All they ask is TO be left 70
themselves. Twenty thousand of them
live on a reservation of 5000 square
miles and maintain a police force of
eight men. The most arduous task per-
formed by tie minions Of the law is
drawing their monthly stipend.
The only trouble with these Indians, ."
scaid Mr. MOnsen. 'is that the too be-
neVOlent White race cannot let Jnr-n
alone. All they ask Is to be left IN
comparative freedom to live their own
lives. pursue their own industries, fol-
low their own religion. and govern them
selves without interference in their own
peaceful communes. They ask no IA
vors they burden no one. and their
one desire is to be allowed TO live in
peace after the manner Of their fore
fathers.
''Thrusting Christian religion upon
these Indians in the way It is done is
n mistake that could hardly be made
even by a missionary society il the
members who so Zealously work 70 raise
money for the salvation of the heather
had even a glimmer of understanding
Of the old belief they are trying 10
displaCe and of the inevitable effect Of
its destruction. Taught in the nature

Indians of the desert. where the means
Of living are not easily obtained. They
show in marked degree the moral fiber,
the purity Of life that comes from a
hard struggle with an austere environ
ment.
Indian Is Wholly Natural.
Religion is Unborn. and In every nat
Ural man, and the Indian. being wholly
natural man. has the sense Of oneness
with nature and that worship Of spirit
lying behind the great natural forces
which is far superior 20 the dogmatism
that ordinarily is called Christianity as
the music of the spheres is to the jang-
ling Of warning creeds.
Some day when IL - too late we may
realize what we have lost by educating
the Indian and forcing him to accept
our more complex but far inferior stan
dards Of life, work and art. These
sound like strong statements but let
any man who doubts their truth take a
journey through the painted desert and
live for a while with these gentle brown
children OF an ancient race. The
chances are that he would find himself
the learner instead Of the teacher. and
II he had ears 10 hear and eyes 10 see.
