4 STOP WATCH.
Lots Of Ways In Which It Can b

"Having stop watch" says the
man who has just bought one, reveals
whole lot of ways Of amusing your
self that you'd hardly think of before.
"Since I've had watch I've been
able to while away lot Of time-not

in the city where the numbered blocks

or about seven miles an hour.
'"Then, Of course, time all interme-
date distances up to a mile. I've
learned pretty we'll just what four
miles an hour means, and l want to
tell you that folks who speak so glibly
about doing that ought to hold watch
Oh their performances to see what it
means.

races between some boys just SO
could time their running find
there's lot Of fun, too, in making
imaginary bets with myself how long
it will take me to catch up with some
one else walking in the same direc-

DEATH Rates AMONG THE INDIANS

N MAJOR MCLAUGHLIN PUTS THE
REPORTER NEXT TO SOME ST ArsT,cs

lin said:
Il feel sure there can't be more In
dams now than ever before since the
country was discovered. Why, when I
came to the northwest forty.six years
ago there were estimated to be 10000
of the Sioux. Now there are only e.
900. The number of the Crows, too,
has diminished nearly one-half Whole

and out on the Pacific coast have dis

know
Death Rate Lowered.
But the Indian population, at least
in the northwest, is not falling OF by
any means as rapidly as it did. In
fact, taking the region through from
the great lakes to the Rockies. !
should say that the Indian population
is now about stationary. On the Devils
Lake and the Sisseton reservations
on all of the reservations east OF the
missouri-the population Is increas-
ing. West Of the Missouri on the new
reservations, there is still some fall
ing off each year, and the rate of in
crease is getting steadily smaller.
when the Indians ran wild, so to
speak, he got plenty OF fresh air out
in the woods and on the prairies, and
plenty of exercise chasing the dinner
he had to catch or lose. At the camp
or village the tepee had window
open all night If it didn't have open
plumbing. The squaw and the pa
pooses spent most of their time out of
doors, and the squaws were always
busy with their domestic duties"
Everybody ate fresh, wholesome food
and led as sanitary a life as Medi-
cine Man Wiley. The Indians then
were robust enough. The Sioux were
especially vigorous-the finest tribe
physically and mentally, think, of all
the Indians in our borders.
Adjustment to New Conditions.
But when these wild huntsmen
started to live upon reservations, to
sleep in close, badly ventilated cabins,
to eat canned goods and the white
mans pork and bacon, together with
badly cooked bread-why, then the
Indians health began to fail. The
first generation of the reservations
died fast. 1t has taken about thirty
years, as rule, for the race to adapt
itself to civilization, but now nthe
other reservations, the change has
been made, and the Indians are be-
ginning to get healthy and fairly pro-
life in their new surroundings
Will Be Absorbed
Our Indians arn't going to be
swept away by the whites, as the
melancholy poets used to sing. The
red men will disappear, it's true, but
l. believe that they'll simply be alb
sorbed into the white race through
intermarriages."
won't that produce, temporarily, a
half breed race inferior to either the
whites or Indians?"
20, not at all. That theory's all a
mistake. Certain half breeds, of
course, are worthless, like. certain
pure bred whites or Indians But as
a, rule the half breed Indian is su-
perior man, both physically and men

Little Possibility Measure Will Pass
California LEGISLATURE.

California Legislature.
Sacramento Cal, Feb. 3.-The Drew
bill closely modelled on the Oklahoma
statehood bill and excluding aliens
from property rights in California, will
be urged to final passage by it's sup
Eorters.
The presidents letter, which was
read with interest by the house mem
bers, has not changed Assemblyman
Drew in the least, and he declares that
he will do his utmost to secure the en-
actment of his measure despite Roose-
velt's counsel to the contrary and Sec
Fetary Roots positive objection to any
legislation directed, even indirectly,
at the Japanese.
There is a general conviction here
that the Drew bill will not pass, as
Speaker Stanton, the entire Los An
geIes delegation and the organization
in general is opposed to it. The in
c1ination of Governor Gillett will be to
veto the bill unless it is radically
modified.

Captain Qualtrough denies the ac-

last run of his vessel on account of
rough weather; that on the day of the
reception he had been on the bridge
since o'clock in the morning; that
he did not drink anything during the
day, and partook sparingly of the wine

ried by Rev. Stephen M. Lyons at ST.
GATHERINGS Roman Catholic church,
Spring Lake, N. j., where Martin Ma
Ioney, father of the bride, has a sum-

Maloney had eloped from her fathers
summer home at Spring Lake with
Samuel R. Clarkson, of London, who
had been guest of Mr.. Maloney.
Mr.. Maloney finally found his daugh-
ter in London and brought her home.

Republics Owners Demand ST.
100000 Damages.
CLAIMS FOR THE FLORIDA
Italian Steamship Company Submits
Demand For 1924, 4,ooo-In Its Action
Each Line Contends That the Steam
ship of the Other Was at Fault.

New York, Jan. 29.-Counsel for the
Oceanic Steam Navigation company,
owners of the White Star line steamer
Republic, filed libel in the United
States district court against the
steamer Florida, of the Lloyd-ltal1ano
line, which ran down and sunk the
Republic off Nantucket lightship. Dam
ages amounting to $1,500,000 for the
loss of the ship, and 100000 for the
loss of cargo and effects of the passen-
gers and crew, were claimed.
1t was asserted in the libel that the
collision was due to no fault on the
part of Captain Sealby, Of the Repub-
lie, but wholly to the faults of the Flor
ida, which, it was alleged, did not keep
a proper course, had no sufficient look
out, did not give proper whistles nor
pay heed to the whistles of the Repub-
lie; that the Florida failed to indicate
her changes of helm; that she was
proceeding at an immoderate speed,
and did not stop or back her engines.
The assertion was made that when the
officers of the Republic first heard the
whistles of the Florida in the fog the
Republics engines were run at full
speed astern and that her helm was
put aport. Shortly afterward the Flor
ida appeared broad off the Republic S
port side, tearing down at high speed
and threatening to strike the Republic
a right angle blow amidships.
IL IL
declares the libel, "the master put the
engines of the Republic ahead; but the
Florida came on at high rate OF
speed, apparently swinging under a
starboard helm, and crashed head on
into the port side of the Republic, pen
etrating into the engine ROOM
The court was asked to condemn the
Florida and order the payment of ST.,
100000 damages to the owners of the
Republic.
United States Marshal Henke1, puf-
siant to these proceedings, has 81
tached the steamship Florida at her
pier in South Brooklyn.
Claims Damages For the Florida.
At the same time as the fling of
the libel against the Flarida, the
Lloyd-Italiano Soeieta di Navigazi6ne
filed a libel against the Republic, at-
companied oy petition for a limita-
tion of liability against the Florida, its
freight, passage money, etc. The col
lision, 1t declares, was not the result
of any fal11t on the mart of tfpe Florida
her master, officers or crew, and was
solely caused by the faults and neglect
on the part of the Republic and those
in charge of her navigation. The dam
aged value of the Florida does not at
present exceed 100000, the papers
say The amount yet to be paid or
her freight is $4,000 and the passage
money amounts to $20,000 In accord
ance with these facts, the petition asks
that the aggregate amount of damages
asked for be limited to $224,000.

K0MURA TRIES TO
REASSURE JAPAN
california is Not to Be Taken
Seriously, He Says.
NEVADA GETS The fever

Mikado's Minister of Foreign Affairs
Assures the Legislators That the
United States and Japan Are on the
Most Friendly Terms and That Cali
fornia's Hostile Attitude Is Not Sup
ported by Rest of Nation.
Toxic, Feb 3.-Count Komura, min
lister of foreign affairs, addressing the
house of representatives, endeavored
TO reassure Japan in regard to the sit
uation in the United States.
He said that the sincerity of Japans
welcome of the American fleet and
American expressions of good will had
demonstrated the frmness of the ira
ditional friendship between the two
nations which it was imperative to
strengthen further through the devel-
opment of mutual commerce, though
not in conflict.
Concerning the Far East and the
Pacific, it had been deemed advisable,
he said, to exchange political notes an
nouncing mutual policies. These had
3
ervation of peace.
Count Komura further said that the
present California legislation hostile
to the Japanese was not supported by
the American people and need not be
taken seriously.
Later speaking on the subject of
emigration from Japan, Count Komura
said: "It is advisable that Japan should
prevent it's subjects from scattering g
throughout other territories. They
should be concentrated in one direc-
Sion, with view of extending the area
that requires japanese exploitation.
Owing to the changed position, follow
ing on the war, it is also necessary to
avoid complications that would ham,
per the country's trade"
With regard to China, Count Ko-
mura expressed the hope "that the
present authorities in China would be
prudent, not only for the sake of China
but for the welfare and peace of the
Far East"
Japan, he said, was determined to
adhere to the principle of the open
door and equal opportunity for all.
Count Komura stated that Japan
would give notice year previous of
the expiration of commercial treaties
now in force and thus recover au-
tonomy, hoping to conclude new treat
1es separately.
