SCULPTOR ENGAGED
TOPERPETUATET TYPE
OF INDIAN FACES
Museum Artist Has Trouble
in Finding Good Models
Without Disease.

Realizing that the type of American
Indian known to the pioneer settlers Of
America is fast disappearing, officials
OF the National Museum are making
every effort to have typical masks and
busts of the most characteristic tribes
made and placed in the museum before
the Indian has entirely disappeared.
Frank Micka, a well-known New York
sculptor is now in Nebraska studying
the Indians particularly the Omahas
and Winnebagoes, as these are supposed
to be the purest strains now in exist
ence.
His experience for the past month
while he has been studying them has
upheld the opinion of the museum au-
thorities, for he says:
When l come to work on the chill
dren ! realize that the Government
had not begun an instant before 1t was
necessary If the true Indian type Is to
be preserved. The children are diseased
almost beyond belief. OF 200 children l
have examined, only two were good
models. Practically all the others were
suffering from disease"
Mr.. Micka Is taking especial care that
he studies only the pure Indian. There
are plenty of busts and masks already
in the museum of those of mixed blood
What is now wanted is the absolutely
pure type, and they are very rare. OF
course, the older as a rule are purer
than the younger generation, and Mr..
Micka is therefore deVottng most of his
attention to older Indians whenever he
can find them free from disease.
The greatest trouble l have, he
says, "is the superstition of the Indians
especially the women. They seem tC
think If a likeness is made of them il
means death. So they will not pose fol-
me without great persuasion and pay
Mr.. Mcka Is working jointly for the
Government and the San Diego exposl
ton. He will complete many casts by
the exposition time, and will bring then
to Washington for criticism by the Gov
ernment experts. Then he will either
duplicate the casts or will make ar
rangements to have the San Diego au
thorities turn the original over to the
National Museum at the close of th'
exposition.
I'm a few more generations the In,
dian race will be practically extinct,
says Mr.. Mcka. "or at least the distinc-
tive characteristics Of their forefathers
present-day Indians bear the marks OF
civilization on their faces. The white
mans way is removing the lines worn
by the old Indian method of life"

NEW YORK. Aug. 0.-When Charles

No Life to Market Traders Are Short of Stocks

NEW YORK. Aug. 2o.--The fact that
Wall Street failed to respond to all the

they made little change as to price one

\ STATEWIDE FAULT.

Newspapers in Virginia commenting on the
publication Of facts regarding the payment Of
the tax incomes have shown no disposition
to hold up Richmond as horrible example.
Those who have noticed the disclosures made.
with few. exceptions, have apparently recog-
nized that Richmond is no worse than other
places and that tax lodging In the capital city
Is carried on to no greater extent than else
where
state Senator Folkes who remembers the
proceedings of the last legislature when the
cities and the counties we're arrayed against
each other expressed fear that the publication
o. The Richmond income tax returns would
serve 70 increase the deplorable antagonism to
The larger cities already held by some in the
Counties and That In the next legislature a
crusade against the cities would be organized
SO far however, there has been little evidence
o. this and with the truth becoming known as
