DICK FERRIS TO PUT ON
REAL INDIAN WAR DANCE
Sioux VIII Give Genuine Terpsicho-
rean Powwow in 1.-THE Redskln,"
as Held at the Custer
Massacre

Dick Ferris announces as an added at
traction to the performance of 1.-THE Red
skim at the Auditorium tonight series
Of Indian dances, given by the red men
and women who have participated In the
production this week.
Antonio Apache, who has given so much
time and attention to mounting the play,
has formulated the plans and obtained the
reluctant consent of his red charges. The
Indians are peculiarly ayerse to dancing
in public, and especially of making a
spectacle Of their dances, as to them they
are sacred rites and religious ceremonials.
But the combined efforts of Dick Ferris,
who has greatly endeared himself during
the week to the braves, and OF Mr..
Apache, whom they trust and love, have
prevailed, and Mr.. Ferris Is now able to
announce that after the final curtain OF
1.-THE Redskin' the Sioux, of whom there
are a number here, viii give their famous
war dance--the same sung when they
massacred the Custer party.
Following this, the NaVajos will give
their religious or ceremonial dance. In
this women and children will participate,
they being barred from the war dance.
Several children are in the stage pic
t,1re at the Auditorium, and they have
been greatly petted oy the Ferris players.
They take great interest in the dance and
promise to take heir parts right up with
their elders. Clayton Brave, chief of the
sioux will lead the war dance. and
Charley White Horse and Fred Swastika
will lead the NavaJos.

against David f. Walker, former presi-
dent of the wrecked California SaIe De-
post and Trust company, IN connection
with the disappearance from the bank o.
the Cotton estate securities, valued at
$205, 900.
Addressing the court. the assistant dis

evidence showing a criminal act on the
part of Walker. adding, however, tnat
there was criminal eulpaoility IN taillng
to investigate the affairs Of the bank and
take action upon learning OF the loss OF
the securities. is undoubted-"
The latter statement brought about a
clash with W. H. Chickering, attorney for
Walker, who was not satisfied with the
dismissal OF the criminal charge against
his client with this reflection upon MIN
by the district attorney.
''Mr. Cook has imputed to Mr. walker
more than did the complainant, Crittendon
Thornton, attorney for the Cotton estate,
said Chickering.
''Mr. Thornton stated to me there was
nothing to show that Walker was GRIMM

with him. Walker was not the kind OF
man to be president Of this bank or OF
any other bank. There can be no ques-
ton of his criminal culpabihty when he
did not know of the condition of the bank
and failed to make an investigation when
he learned of the disappearance of the
securities"

Chickering insisted that Cook was mis-
taken. The latter retorted sharply: You
don't know anything about it; you were
not present. We have Mr.. Walker
sworn testimony to that fact While he
is not criminally liable, believing as we
do that j. Dalzell Brown and Walter :,
Bartnett, general manager and vice presi.

converted them into money, L insist that
It showed criminal negligence on the part
of Walker l move to dismiss the charge.
This was done by Judge Dunno.
This action of the district attorney was
predicted when President Walker made q
voluntary statement regarding the affairs
Of the bank and afterward testified
against Bartnstt and Brown before the
grand jury.

OPEN NEW ASSEMBLY HALL
WITH "NfMEAD" PROGRAM
Los Angeles High school Students
Plan Novel Entertainment to
Celebrate Completion
Of Auditorium

Friday and Saturday evenings, January
"a AID %, the Los Angeles high school viii
use for the first time its new assembly
hall, and to celebrate that occurrence is
preparing an entertainment that itscalls
"the high school nemead."
An explanation of that name gives a
clew to the entertainment. In Nemea, in
old Greece 1t is said, there once occurred
an event of such Importance that the citi-
zens counted it the recognizing OF time,
celebrated ii with games, recurring al
set intervals, and did their reckoning
thereafter by 'nemeads," or periods
marked by these anniversary games.
The Olympian games had the same sort
or origin, but the nemean were moro
varied. They were not athletic only, but
artistic, musical ana dramatic.
The high school has new assembly
hall. of which 1t has dreamed for years
and which 1t has needed badly. 1t seems
to the proud young students who have
been watching the workmen finish it that,
now il is done, so mucn Will be possible
that never was thought of before, and II
will be a sort of "redating of time" for
them. So they have announced the cele-
bration Of their first nemead."
Posters are out. These are the work OF
some of the student artists, suggesting
what the program will be. There is some
hint at a farce. with football hero and
football loving heroine, and sugges-
ton also OF hunters like Robin Hood s
men, doing something or other that the
poster does not disclose.
The students at the high school are
working their best. They. too are bring
ing to bear the best talents they have to
distinguish their first .nemead'
