Matinee Today Begins at 0Clock Miss Edgell Adams of Birmingham Received Ovation Yesterday. Many Children Attend Matinee. Miss Wheat's vocalization
 Appears Faultless
Packed Houses Today

with tumultuous applause and was forced to respond to an encore.
 Miss Edgell Adams of Birmingham made her premier appearance before a local audience last night. She selected a concerto rarely heard, but one of rare beauty. It had been played only twice in the United States. Miss Adams met with genuine ovation. Although there were no pyrotechnics few piano works are more exacting. Singular purity of tone was required for the allegro and andante and Miss Adams produced that tone. Her trills. runs and bravura easily proved her yirtuoslty Hers was exquisite artistry throughout. No playing could have been more pearly The last movement had gorgeous coloring and her finale aroused the audience to great pitch. Miss Adams received an arm full of flowers and was recalled many times.
 Madame Lucille Stevenson, the soprano star, distinguished herself. Her voice was wonderfully clear and sweet, and she sang with spirit and fine intelligence.
 It was commonly remarked last night that everything about the Minneapolis or ganization was of high class-elegant. It often happens that in a galaxy of solosts one or two will be inferior or in poor form. but no apologies have to be made for any of these artist-folk. Some of
 
 Metropolitan opera house celebrities can sing as well as Miss Wheat, or Madame 1 Stevenson, or Joseph Schenke.

My teeth" said the little girl in blue gingham, lis all home pulled-up to now. Now We go to the dentist" There were five little girls and two boys all pupils of the Paul Hayne school sitting on a bench outside the dentists office at the school yesterday afternoon.
 Every day there are little children there whose parents cannot afford to send them to "a pay dentist''--every day from until 5 o'clock a bright and quite important little company.
 For having something the matter with your teeth is almost as good as having once had scarlet fever, diphtheria and humps and measles. to brag about.
 And then; This dentist hardly hurts you any, says girl with two black pig tails.
 "Oh, but he does hurt. a little weensy bit.' says the yellow haired girl.
 My sister is the dentist in our family continued the little girl with ''home pulled teeth" And her little teeth certainly bore witness to that factl
 She works all day an when she comes home at night an she hears any of us grunting, an our teeth aches so we can t sleep, she up an gets a string an pulls an pulls until she gets 'em out Some times only half a tooth comes, but she knows all about it.
 How did she learn?'" you ask Why" beams the little girl, she has a feller what's a dentist an so she's around dentist whole lot an she knowsr'
 Appalling State of Affairs
 The teeth of many of these children are in an almost unspeakable state, decayed, disease carrying, and in some cases all most entirely eaten away, before the chill dren are 13 years old. One beautiful lit- tie girl In the low seventh grade had actually lost her entire front teeth, and will have to have a set of false teeth at the age of 12 years.
 Not until this past year in the city of as wel1-has free dental dispensary been considered as a necessary adjunct to the public school.
 Here it has been. in a sense, experi- mental and whether or not it shall be permanently maintained will depend upon the city itself. So far it has made good. Every genuinely progressive city is now beginning to maintain it-as a matter of course
 It is found to be an absolute necessity. The hundreds of children, whose teeth are neglected through poverty, ignorance or carelessness, or all combined. are shown to result in many forms of sick ness. ineficiency. low percentage of scholarship and III health and incompe- tence generally.

PUEBLO INDIANS DON'T

Six Thousand Are Kicking Some

LEGAL DECISION TO BLAME

To Sell Them, Liquor
LEGAL DECISION TO BLAME

| SANTA FE, N. NJ. Aug. 2l.-Aduli
Pueblo Indians. 5000, are kicking
something awful at being made citi-
zens. Since the 10000 acres of Pueb-
10 land was ceded to the United States
by Mexico, these Indians have been
about running their own affairs to
suit themselves. They have their own
chief, second chief and other tribal
officers, elected by themselves. And
they got along finely. cultivating the
soil and raising livestock.
Then stepped in United States Judge
William II. Hope, deciding the case Of
Felipe Sandoval, charged with selling
whisky to the Pueblos, and decided
that the Indians were citizens OF the
United States according to treaty
made with Mexico, granting full citi.
zenship to all inhabitants OF the an
nexed territory.
And being citizens, the judge held
that 1t was no crime to sell whisky
to them. Also he decided that the
Pueblos had the right to vote at the
white folks elections, and the right"
to pay taxes. too.
None OF these rights" struck the
Indians very favorably. They don't
want the white mans whisky-that Is,
those who haven't been made drunk.
ards already by the white man; they
don't want TO vote at the white mans
elections, for they want their own
tribal elections TO continue; and they
don't want to pay taxes on their prop
erty.
The land Is now held In tribal own
ership, and the products OF their toll
are divided up among them. They
believe that II they are taxed, the land
will have to be divided among the
members OF the tribe and that II will
not be long before white men own
their land.
A congress OF all the Pueblos Is now
In session In Santa Re. Members from
each OF the 19 tribes are attending,
Through lawyers they have hired they
will appeal the case to the United
States supreme court.
In the meantime their younger men
can buy all the whisky they can pay
for; the older men can vote for presl-
dent, and everybody can pay taxes.
