Have a Trust Fund of Six Million DOL
lars-One Indian Wants His People
Kept as Far From Gambling and
Whisky as the East Is From the
West.
The affiliated Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indian tribes are not to be
outdone by their white brothers and
are establishing a commission form of
government. This follows the death
OF Quanah Parker, chief Of the Co.
manches. to whom a successor may
not be elected. though White Parker,
his son. had been talked Of for the
place. Congress will be asked to ap-
prove the administration of tribal af-
fairs by a proposed business commit
tee or commission. composed Of nine
members-four Comanches, three Kio-
was and two Apaches. The matter
was thoroughly discussed at a u
Gil of the Indians attended by Lieu
tenant Ernest Stecker. United States
indian agent. and Representative Scott
Ferris of the Fifth Oklahoma congress
sional district. The commission is to
be composed only of young men, active
n capable in tribal affairs.
For several years. unknown to most
OF the Indians. there has been a COM
mittee or advisory board cooperating
with the Indian agent. Its members
were Eschiti, limbo. Mamsookawat.
Comanches: ~.Ahpeahtone, Lucius Ait
san, kiowas. and Apache John and
Mizizoomdi. Apaches. De Loss Lone
Wolf. Kiowa. and a graduate Of Car
Isle. and White Parker. Comanche.
are to be added to the commission.
Among the Indians who made speech.
es at the council were Comanche Jack.
Ahpeahtone. old Chief Lone Wolf of
the klowas and De Loss Lone Wolf.
Comanche Jack landed squarely on
the lawyers. saying that the Co.
manches did not want a legal repre-
sentative. rs the money for an attor-
ney's salary was merely wasted.
George Hunt. the Kiowa interpreter,
wanted laws that would keep the In
dians apart from gambling and whis-
Ky. las far as the east is from the
west He whacked the Comanches
by saying that they were the worst
gamblers Of all.
That the commission" idea seems to
be a good thing in the administration
OF the affairs of these affiliated tribes
is indicated by a further proposal to
create what is known as a "competen-
cy' commission to be composed Of
three white business men. chosen by
the secretary of the interior. This plan
is in operation among certain other
Indian tribes. 1t is intended that this
competency commission. it authorized.
shall pay $40 monthly to each Indian.
in addition to what he receives from
what is called the grass lease fund.
This payment among the Kiowas.
Comanches and Apaches would amount
to about $4,000 a month. there being
about 300 Indians. of whom 1900 are
Comanches. If the triba! funds in time
should show exhaustion the competen-
cy commission her would sell eighty
acres Of each 100 acre allotment to
replenish the fund. leaving a home
stead of eighty acres. Representative
Ferris is reported as favoring the
scheme.
These affiliated Indians have q total
tribal trust fund of $6.NOO. 600. of which
S 4.50O.OO0 is in the United States treas

ARMY'S SLIM SCHEDULE
Yale And The Navy Are the Only Big
Football Games

The West Point schedule of football
games this year is the lightest the
cadets have attempted for some time.
Of the eight games listed Yale and the
Navy are the only two big games on
the Army schedule.
The soldiers are disappointed in not
securing their annual game with Har-
ward, and owing to the lateness of
Harvard's decision not to go to West
Point this fall, the soldiers were un-
able to fill the date reserved with an
other big team. An effort was m ade
to secure either Michigan or Dart
mouth, but both teams had their
schedules filled. Georgetown will
make its initial appearance on the
West Point gridiron November 4 and
the first game will be with the Uni
versity of Vermont on October z.
Nothing definite has yet been de-
cided on as to the time or the place
for the Army-Navy game, but the
Army would prefer to play the final
game on November 25. The West
Point team has secured the services
of Harry Tuthill, of the Detroit t
Americans, to train them this season
in place of James Temple, who has
resigned.
The schedule of games to be play
ed on the West Point grounds follows
October z, Vermont University; Oc-
tober Ia, Rutgers; October 81, Yale
October 28, Lehigh; November a,
Georgetown; November IL, Bucknell
November 18, Colgate.

GROVE, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
President Fell Here-Vice President
Cecil Too iii to Return at This
Time-AnOther Change
In Faculty

Old St. Johns, of this city. will
open its collegiate session on Wednes-
day of next week. DR.. Thomas Fell.
the president, said today that ther e
was every prospect of large attend
ance; in fact, as many boarding stu
dents as could be accommodated at
present.
There will be no permanent changes
in the faculty, but for the present
two members, DIR. B. v. Cecil and
Prof. A. w. Woodcock, will not be
present. DR.. Cecil is still in such a
condition of health that he will not be
able to attend, and Professor Wood
cock has been given a leave of o ne
year, during which he will pursue a
course of study at Harvard Univer-
sity. Mr.. II. F. Study has been ap-
pointed to perform the duties of Pro
fessor Woodcock during his absence.
The Board of Visitors will meet on
Saturday evening, at which time they
will complete the designation of
scholarships to applicants from An
napolis. The Board will also consider
the matter of making arrangements
for the carrying on the work of DR..
Cecil. 1t was hoped that DR.. Cecil,
who is at the home of his brother.
at Highland, Howard county, Md,
would be able to resume his work
at the opening of the school year,
but DIR. Fell has been informed that
he will not be able to do so, and he
has applied for an indefinite leave of
absence. The Board will probably
take action in the matter Saturday
evening. DR.. Cecil has been a suffer-
er from painful ard prolonged affec-
tion of facial neuralgia.
Mr.. Roscoe c. Grove, athletic di-
rector, will have full charge of the
football team this season, selecting
his assistants from the faculty and
alumni of st. Johns. An excellent
schedule has been arranged and the
material appears to be good. AS many
candidates for the team as possible
will be assembled Monday in order to
begin practice.
DR.. Fell has received word that a
number of recent graduates of the
college have been appointed to posi-
tions. Among these are: Cleveland
Dean, 10, member of the faculty of
Frederick College; w. Linden Allen,
10, instructor at McDonough High
School, La Plata, Md; j. L. Morris,
IL, principal of High School, Vienna,

at ST. Paul's School, Baltimore;

tor at Kittanning High School, Kittan-
ming, Pa.

TEACHERS BLAMED
Why Send Children to School Too Ear
ly?-Parents At Fau,,ss Not
The Teachers

A sight that made many a parent
quake with fear as to the health of the
children involved, met the gaze of
those who passed the public school on
Green street this morning.
The children, many little tots of
seven and eight years. were compelled
to stand out in the pouring rain until
the school doors were opened at five
minutes of 8 o'clock. The teachers
are blamed for requiring the children
to stand, or wait outside the school
building, especially when it rains,
but in most cases it is the parents
who are to blame.
The school law requires the doors
of the school to be opened only five
or ten minutes before school is called,
and parents have no right to send
their children to school too early,
knowing this. Oftentimes the parents
are so anxious to get rid of the chill
dren they ship them off to school as
soon as possible.
