COACH RICHARDS RESIGNS
Refusal of University Faculty to Ex-
cuse Athletes from Military Drill
Is Given as the Reason.

Madison -Followin the action of
the University of Wisconsin faculty
in forcing athletes to take military
drill to the exclusion of athletics,
John r. Richards, head coach of the
Wisconsin baseball and football
teams, has severed his connection
with the university.
That the faculty action in refus-
ing to excuse athletes froSn military
drill makes it absolutely impossible
to place competitive athletics on an
efficient basis at the university is the
reason Coach Richards gives for his
action.
The resignation will take effect
on Aug. 2, when Coach Richards

terly report of the state bureau of
vital statistics on the monthly NOR
tality. The total number of deaths
reported to the bureau during jan
uary, February and March, 1912,

annual death rate for the state OF
1917 per 1000 estimated popula-

1877 for the same period of 1911. in
dicating that the rate for the first

AID is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina is the earliest
civilized tribe Of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards of
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas. and they number approximate
ly 100.
State Senator w. H. Stewart, of
South Carolina, is in Washington to
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view Of
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men, and
it is probable that bill will shortly
be introduced to this end.
1t is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
OF the state of South Carolina for
many years should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
"but it is a fact, nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In
dams, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends of the
white man. They never took the blood
of white man, and during all the
early struggles of the whites against
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
ed that territory. and they have re-
NAMED there.
For a long time the Cherokees oc-
cupied the same territory, and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent. In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many of the settlers
in South Carolina
The state government, after having
taken care of these Indians for SO
many years, now is seeking to have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, SO that they can, in
common with other Indians, have
lands lands allotted to them and be-
come American citizens, which is on
ly just and fair. Washington Post.
