INDIAN SUPPLIES
NOW ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

Chicago, April 13.-Supplies for
Indians nowadays are far different
from the heads, firewater and antip-
uated guns Of other days as the ship
ments from Chicago, which has be-
come the main Indian supply point
of the country, attest. There are
included in the purchases plumber
fixtures, overalls, and suspenders,
among miscellaneous lot of things
which go to show how times have
changed since wigwams, wampum
and war paint were in fashion
among the red men.
Civilization has certainly cultivat-
ed tastes for the baubles of COM
pick life for the list of supplies
reads: "Dry goods, underwear
hosiery, gloves, suspenders, notions,
hats and caps, hardware, iron, nails,
plumbers and steam and gas filters
tools. enaaeled ware, glassware,
lamps, agricultural implements, wa
CONS and wagon fixtures, tin and
stamped ware, stoves, hollow ware,
tinware, piece goods, clothing, over
alls, shirts, tailors' trimmings, rub
Der goods and Shoes
The United States bureau of In.
dian affairs awarded contracts in Chi.
cago during the last two weeks ag-
gregating about $1,500,OOO. Eleven
Chicago houses were among the sue
cessful bidders. Competition was
keener than at any previous letting
Bids were received from all parts
of the country, 1922 being submitted
in all. About one-third of the money
to be spent goes to Chicago.
The goods contracted for will &C
to Indian schools and reservations
scattered through twenty-six states
and are part of the supplies requir.
ed for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1912. The total purchases will
aggregate between 100000 and
+ 100000.

HEBREWS OBSERVE
PASSOVER FEAST

New York, April 13.-The cele-
bration of the Jewish festival of
Pesach, or the Passover, begins to-
day and will continue among the or
thodox Hebrews throughout the
world for eight days. This festival,
which Is also known as the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, was instituted to
commemorate the departure of the
Children Of Israel from Egypt, un-
der the leadership of Moses, where
they had been held in bondage for
upward of 400 years. In biblical
times it was deemed a most import
ant FESTIVAL, on which all men were
bound to go up to Jerusalem to keep
the Passover and to make their Of
ferings in the temple.

ANOTHER VETERAN
Of NAVY DOOMED

Washington, April 13.-Another
veteran of the United States navy
has been doomed to an ignominious
and. The navy department has nam
cd a board of survey, to determine
the disposition of the U. S. S. indie
pendence, with a probability that
abe will be broken up for junk.
This vessel was built in 1919
and 1915 was the flagship of the
Mediterranean squadron. She serv-
ed As flagship on the Brazilia sta
uon, in the late '30s. and in 1S4S
she went around the Horn to be
Gagship of the Pacific squadron.
Since 1853 she has served as receiv-
ing ship at Mare Island navy yard,
Cal, where she now awaits her
late.
It was In the independence that
Commodore Balnbridge visited the
Barbary states in 1915 and brought
those nations to respect for the
American flag. Another famous COM
wander who used her as his flagship
was Commodore Charles Stewart,
known as "Old Ironsides."
She was taken around the Horn,
though greatly disabled, by Capt.
Josiah Tatnell. This officer made
the famous remark that "blood is
thicker than water" when defending
his course in assisting the English
against the Chinese in Asiatic wa
Gers.

NAVIGATION IN GREAT
LAKES OPENS SOON

Chicago, April 13.-Navigatton on
the great lakes will open this week,
and the first boats from Buffalo will
reach Chicago about five days later
than last year. The record of SO
years shows more variation in the
moods of winter than does the rec
ord of the first killing frosts of au-
tumns.
The theory that the seasons are
milder than in the pioneer days, a
theory largely based on steam heat
and comfortable travel, is partly
borne out by the fact that in 1855
and for the next forty years naviga-
ton did not open earlier than April
6, while in 1894 the Straits of Macki-
nae were officially "clear" of ice on
March 10 and in 1898 and 1902
and 1903 the opening date was in
March. Reports of ice conditions say
that the ice is gradually disappear
ing in all the lakes.
On Lake Superior few fields are
reported along the north shore near
Port Arthur, and some fields in the
extreme eastern portion. Many har-
bors are already open. Whitefish
Bay is clear of ice. In comparison
with the same period of last season
the Ice condition on Lake Superior
when reported was about the same.
In St. Mary's river there was more
ice this year. About the same con-
ditions prevail this year as last in
Green Bay, Lake Michigan and Lake
Huron.
There was most ice in the Straits.
There was less ice in Lake Erie and
considerably more in Lake Ontario.
The first step in preparation for the
opening of navigation always is q
picturesque event-,the United States
life savers take up their official resi-,
dence in the life-saving stations at
midnight.

SIXTY THOUSAND CIGARS
BEQUEATHED TO COLUMBIA

New York, April 13-The trustees
OF Columbia university are in a
Quandry regarding the disposition of
some $4,000 cigars, said to be worth
between $4,000 and $4,000, &C
cording to tobacco experts The CT
gars are the property of the univer-
sity through the will of the late
George Crocker, who left to the uni
versity sum exceeding $1,OOO,00O
to be devoted to the study Of the
cure of cancer, a disease to which
both he and his wife fell victims.
Part of the bequest to the univer-
lsity included a magnificent country
place, consisting of a beautiful house
and 1900 acres of land at Mahwah,
NJ, In the Ramapo mountains with
all appurtenances. It was in the
| basement of this house that the
enormous collection of fine cigars
was discovered. They were found in
vault of large dimensions, built in
to the side wall of the basement. This
giant humidor contained the cigars,
which are of rare quality, having
been made especially for Mr.. Crock
er, who was a connoisseur in tobacco
and a great lover of cigars. Most of
the cigars are stamped with the
monogram of Mr.. Crocker and the
markings on the boxes show that
they were made in the leading fac
tories of the world.
The trustees of the university and
others engaged in settlement of the
estate are puzzled how to solve the
problem of disposal of the cigars. So
far, nothing definite has been de-
cided. Before the cigars can be sold
it will be necessary to determine
whether the cigars fall under the
classification of household goods
and furnishings" If the lawyers de-
eide they cannot be so classed, &C
cording to the terms of the will, the
trustees will be unable to sell them
and will have to determine on some
other disposition for them.

SENSATIONS LIKELY IN
GATES DIVORCE SUIT

New York, April 13.-It has de-
veloped that when Charles G. Gates,
son of Millionaire John w. Gates,
rushed across the continent from
Los Angeles to this city in private
train at thousands of dollars ex-
pense it was not to be treated by an
eminent physician. He hurried to
this city to exert every influence in
his power to check the divorce pro-
ceedings his wife is bringing against
him. His ailment was more of the
heart and mind than the constitu-
ton.
John w. Gates and a party OF
friends have reached Lake Charles,
La. in private car to attend the
trial of suit in which John w.
Gates is the plaintiff.
Mrs. Gates is comparatively
young woman Of attractive personal
ity. Gates met her in st. Louis
when she was Miss Betty Edgar, one
Of the bellies of that city. When her
mother married Edgar, a wealthy
manufacturer, he persuaded his STEP
daughter and stepson to change their
name to his own. Gates wooed and
won the fair Miss Edgar thirteen
years ago and in 80 doing incurred
the enmity of Edgar. who never lik.
ed Gates.
The Gates divorce suit promises
70 be highly sensational, as the
names of two prominent actresses

WEIGHING OF NAIL
IS NOW GOING ON

Chicago, April 13.-The weighing
of the mails transported by the rail-
roads, function that takes place
only once in every four years, is un-
out territory roundabout which
comprises practically a quarter Of
the entire country. This is carried
on by the postoffice authorities over
period of los days to determine
the average wei2ht of mai: travel
ing over each route. By the simple
device of taking the weight of mail
saclied in each section of the coun-
try only once in four years, the post
,s6ice 10 said to get the better of
the railways to lEe extent OF two or
three million dollars year.
The records of the past several
weighings show that the mail bust
ness of the country is increasing at
the rate Of about eight per cent a
year SO that by the end of each four
year periods the railways are carry
eng thirty-two per cent Of the total
amount of mail handled without any
compensation. Al the last session
Of congress a protest against this
state of affairs was presented by Of
sdcers of 2S2 railroads representing
over 100000 miles of road.
The railway n'ea insisted that az
q matter of fairness the mails ought
t. be weighed cncc yea: at least.
No change was made, however, in
the law which now leaves the matter
at the discretion of the postmaster
general with only the stipulation
that the weights must be taken at
Least once in every four years. AS
this arrangement saves large
smount to the postoffice department
at the expense of the railroads 1t is
aot likely to be changed unless con-
.&ress commands.
There is unusual interest In the
weighing that is now going on in
the central states since it is to be
followed by test of Postmaster
General Hitchcock's plan to trans
port a part of the second-class mat
ter, including large part of the
magazine mail, by freight instead OF
by regular mail trains.

CLARK RELATES
STORY TO CONGRESS

Washington, April 13.-Mention
of the biennial seat lottery in the
house by one of several visitors in
Champ Clark's office today led the
speaker to relate his experience; a
tale that undoubtedly gives him the
record for favorable location ON the
house floor
AT the opening of new cong
ress seats, with few favored ex-
ceptions, are awarded by lot. The
exceptions are one-iegged members,
floor leaders of each party, former
speakers and couple of old-time
members who are given first choice.
Then small, numbered balls, each
number representing congressman,
are placed in box and withdrawn
one at a time. The name of con-
gresham is called as each number

any unoccupied seat. Members mass

state of great excitement
In the first congress of which /
was member said Clark, who is
serving his ninth term, Il was the
hrst one named to take a seat on
the democratic side. I took the end
seat, in the fifth row, in the aisle
next to the main aisle, and it was
a good one.
In the next two congresses, l
drew early enough to locate within
ten feet of that seat.
'ln the fourth congress was
again the first democrat called and
in the next congress l had a fairly
good seat.
While on street car, on the
way to the opening of the sixth con-
gress in which 1 served, l said to
according to the doc
trine of chance and probability,
ought to be the last democrat to
draw seat today was next to
the last and got a seat in the out
side rim near the door. Hammond
of Minnesota, who came in as a
new member that year, had drawn
the seat next to the one l formerly
occupied, and he kindly volunteered
to trade with me. The occupant of
my former seat 'swopped' with me
and l was back in the favored place.
Thereafter as party leader on
the floor I was given choice of seats,
and I took the end seat in the third
row in the aisle next to the main
aisle"
Now he occupies the choicest seat
of all, the speakers chair, an honor
regarded by many as the highest in
the government, except the presl-
dency.
In a further observation as to
chance Mr.. Clark said: Proctor,
one of the greatest astronomers, cal
culated that the chance of holding
straight, royal flush was one in q
