and at the hearing held at the Dickin-
son U. S. land Office last fall. the heirs
did not put in any defense.

neys for plaintiff, took a default jude-
ment. The land Office accepted Mr..
Ross homestead filing and he con,men.

Mr.. Richards had these cattle bought,
accompanied him south two weeks ago

BEEDE's NEW INDIAN BOOK
TELLS OF CUSTER TRAGEDY

OAV VI VIC loNCSI PIOOuCllVuS III luC
literary field deserving of unusual at
tention from the reading public is an
Indian drama by A. Nc. G. Beede. Ph.
D.. a man intimate with Indians, who
ardently pursues whatever he under
takes regardless of labor.
This unique drama is an Indian voice
from the world-famed Custer Trae-
edy" singing from the heart the Indian
love of hearth and home. Indian
phraseoloey is .naively rendered into
simple English with native Indian
grandeur and plaintive desert sweet
ness.
The women stormine the Indian coun-
Gil and demanding that the warriors
either fight or give their weapons to the
women, who will die defending their
homes and children, Winona struggling
with the ghosts for the soul of her lover
and falling in the unequal contest, the
mother soothing her babe to sleep with
a lullaby while the battle 1ages-such
scenes leave the reader wondering how
tragedy can move with such well-tem-
pered calmness. But one acquainted
with Indians is aware that Indian trag-
edy has its stately calmness and its
saving touch of recuperative humor.
After reading the analytic monogram
dealing with the character of Sitting
Bull, the historian feels that he really
understands this complex person. and
has at last seen the golden thread of
consistency running through his appar-
emily inconsistent actions. Other char
acter sketches are important and con-
tain some new material. while the de-
tailed account of the numerous Indian
sources from which the material for the
book is derived is as surprising as it is
simple. The drama makes no use of
any sources created by white men. but
relies exclusively upon Indian sources.
The extensive art work illustrating
the subject matter OF the book is adapt
ed from strictly Indian sources and is
expressly prepared for this book by z.
J. Wilkinson. This art work together
with a photographed copy of page of
an Indian Photograph history is one of
the unusual features of this book.
Scientific study of primitive peoples
has already led to reconstruction in
primary school education, and it must
soon influence our ideas in music, art,
religion and literature.
Now that the years of conflict be-.
ginning with the middle of the last
century, have passed away, American
patrons Of the fine arts will again find
gems of beauty in the camps of the fall
len aborigines.
Expense has not been spa red in the
production Of this 100 page de luxe ed
ition which is strictly limited to 1000
copies, and issued June 18th. Those de-
string one or more copies should imme-
diately send regular orders to the pub
fishers, The Bismarck Tribune Co., Bis

paid.

Practically Anything Can be
Sent When Change Takes
Effect on August 10.
BIG HELP TO MERCHANTS
Articles Up to Twenty Pounds
and IL Inches In Girth at
Greatly Reduced Rates

A huge ham, talking machine, q
satchel, weeks wash-most anything
may be sent by parcel post at re-
duced rates from those at present in
force, provided that such does not
weigh more than twenty pounds or
exceed seventy-two inches in length
and girth, according to the announce
ment of Postmaster General Burle-
son Of the changes which will take
place in the service August 15. AT
present the weight limit Is eleven
pounds. The postmaster general has
plan in mind by which the weight
will be gradually raised to a 100
pound limit.
Anyone in the suburbs, not wish
ing to come to the city, under the
provision of the parcel post regula-
tions, may easily telephone his order
to the city, and have all groceries,
etc., shipped through parcel post,
with but little cost.
Local manufacturers and store
keepers are expected to reap larger
benefit from this extension of the
service than heretofore, and as the
rate will be reduced from here to
New York, shopping with the large
department stores through mail is
expected to be greatly encouraged.
The rate for sending parcels to
different parts Of the city is con-
siderably reduced, being only five
cents for the first pound and one
cent for each additional two pounds.
At present the rate is five cents for
the first pound and one cent for each
extra sixteen ounces. Unlike as at
present the first zone will only con-
stitute Perth Amboy, instead of an
area within fifty miles of Perth Am
boy. The rest of the present first
zone, or fifty mile area, will be con-
solidated with the second zone, cov-
ering practically 150 mile radius.
The fiat rate for the zone will only
be five cents for the first pound and
one-cent for each additional sixteen
ounces. At present the rate In the
first zone outside of the city is FIVE
cents for the first pound and three
cents for additional, and for the sec
ond zone, six cents for the first and
four cents for each additional pound.
In other words, you may send a
ten-pound package to any address in
Perth Amboy for ten cents, whereas
at present 1t cost fourteen cents. A
ten-pound package sent from here to
New York city after August 15. will
cost only fourteen cents, whereas at
present 1t costs thirty-two cents. The
same weight package to Philadelphia
will cost fourteen cents (the same as
to New York;, whereas at present it
costs forty-two cents. The changes,
which will take effect August 15,
only apply to the first and second
zones, but further extensions and
IMPLICATIONS for the system to the
peoples benefit is promised by the
postmaster general.

A gift OF $500 which was as un-

tee of the Y. NJ. C. A, was received
last night. The committee had been
to see a superintendent of plant,

lication of his name, he Is well
known citizen of Metuchen. who
takes much interest in thep hilan-
thropy of the Y. NJ. c. A. work. The
contribution Will be represented by
$500 worth of hollow wall tile
block, of which the new building

HEALTH BOARD
TO TEST EGGS
Governors Day at Trenton
Has Decided Novelty.
Spsoial TO the EVENING NEvs.


Trenton, July 22.-Governor's
Day at the state house today had the
novelty of ice cream custard and
cake making operations, the cuisine
methods being by the State Board of
Health to test the food value of eggs
that had been frozen solid In cold
storage for more than three years.
The cooking and baking took place
in the laboratory of hygiene connec-
ted with the health board. The eggs
were the property of the S. ]. Gelth
Company, of Boaton, and were seized
by the United States authorities in
the cold storage plant of the Mer-
chants Refrigerating Company at
Jersey City on the ground that they
were putrid and unfit for food.
Judge Cross in the United States
court ruled that the eggs were fit
for human consumption, and the gov
eminent appealed to the circuit court
where the decision of Judge Cross
was reversed then the Keith COM
pany appealed to the United States
Supreme court which decided that
the circuit court had no jurisdiction.
This left the case with Judge Cross's
decision in force. This legation has
extended over the three years and
the owner of the eggs has appealed
NIT their release and use. The tests
made today are to decide the ques-
tion.

DECIDE TO LAY
DOUBLE TRACKS
Public Servics Railway Com
pany Make Application to
Council for Necessary Permit.
SMITH AND STATE SITS.
Petitions Call for Extension
of Present Switches Com
mittee of Whole Consider

Application for permission to place
double trolley tracks on Smith and
State streets was filed with the couu-
ell by the Public Service Railway
Company last night, together with
copies of proposed ordinances auth
orizing the work. The petitions were
referred to a committee of the whole
for mature consideration. They are
in the form of request from the
traction company to install double
tracks on Smith street, from David
son avenue at Its car barns, to Water
street, and on State street, from
Smith street to the switch under the
Lehigh Valley bridges.
The documents were presented by
J. ]. Gettings, a division superin-
tendent of the Public Service Trac-
ton Company, after the meeting had
been opened. They consisted of petit
tions for each OF Smith and State
streets and three copies Of an ordi-
nance. The petitions were lengthy
in form and were not read through
by the clerk. Accompanying were
traced maps, showing the proposed
double track extension over the prin-
cipal and most thickly populated
sections OF the city's two principal
streets. The petitions were 30 word
ed as tc provide for extension of the
switches now on those streets, show
ing that the intention of the company
is to place the tracks side by side in
a similar position and at the same
distance apart as are tracks at
switches now in use on those streets.
1t is understood that the work
would be started as soon as the coun-
Gil had finally passed an ordinance
authorizing the extensions. Just
how much the city fathers are
pleased with the scheme is yet to be
seen. 1t is known that at least one
member Is opposed to ripping up the
pavements on those streets at this
time for the installation of double
tracks. The subject will most likely
be brought up for discussion and
deliberation at the next committee
meeting of the aldermen Friday
night, August L.

AGED NOVELIST
ON LONG WALK
Julian Hawthorne Expected
to Pass Through Here on
1000 Mile Journsy
START AT ATLANTA, GA.
Awaits Granting of Parole
From PrIson--tO Commence
Trip About July rs
START AT ATLANTA, GA,

Julian Hawthorne, the noted
novelist, will pass through this city
on foot the early part of next month
if he carries out his plan to walk
1000 miles from Atlanta, Ga, to
New York upon his release from the
Atlanta federal prison late this
month. His application for parole
will be granted, it is announced from
Washington, which will enable him
to begin his cross-country walk this
month, as he would be released July
26 or 27.
Hawthorne is a dynamic gentle
man despite his age of sixty-seven
years. He is great writer and dur
ing his term in the federal prison,
where he is Register 4,435, he turns
out volumes of matter for the prison
paper and daily walks ten or fifteen
miles around the walls. 1t appears
likely that DR.. w, p. Morton, of New
York, convicted with the novelist of
fraudulent use of the mails, will be
released on parole.
Hawthorne will seek inspiration as
we'll as health In his walk to the
metropolis. He Will make the trip
sort of psychological training jour-
ney. It will be necessary, however,
for him to obtain permission from
the attorney general to make the
walk. BY federal regulation, the re-
leased prisoner must return to his
home or to the nearest relative or
friend within q certain time, two or
three days, in case of the trip from
Atlanta to New York. Transporta-
ton is paid by the authorities.
The trip to New York over the
national highway covers $40 miles
Hawthorne most likely will leave At
lanta by road leading northeast
ward, out to Stone Mountain and to
Lawrenceville. Thence he will con-
tinue in a gently curving path to
Anderson, S. c., through Greenville
and Spartanburg, Striking the North
Carolina line, his road runs directly
eastward to Charlotte, then approx
mately nOrthward to Salisbury and
through either Winston Salem or
Greensboro. Continuing northward,
he will probably go to Roanoke, Va,
to Staunton, Winchester and to Ha-
gerstown in Maryland.
Crossing into Pennsylvania, the
New York route touches at Waynes-
boro and Gettysburg, thence east
ward to Lancaster and to Philadel-
phia. A little farther the road cross
es the Delaware almost at the spot
where a historic crossing was made
in 1878 into Trenton. From Trenton
to Perth Amboy, across Staten Is
land, and into New York the road
lies on its final lap.

Aldermen Adopt Resolution
to Pay Lshigh Valley for
ConVery Place Land.
WILLING TO GIVE S2,5OO
Believe County Will Stand
Greater Part of Cost of
Erecting the Bridge.

Efforts to purchase a right of way
from the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for a bridge across its
tracks necessary for the extension Of
Convery place, caused considerable
discussion at the council meeting last
night. 1t developed that the rail
road company was splicing the city
because of its activity for the remov-
al of grade crossings and that as a
result the city would lose $500.
The board finally adopted a resolu-
ton to pay the Lehigh Valley $2,500
for a right of way, believing that the
county can be caused to stand the
greater portion of expense in erect
ing the proposed bridge.
Aldermen Seaman and Wilson sup
ported the resolution, declaring it
was best for the city to accept the
present terms than remain open for
opposition in the future. The resolu-
tion provided that inasmuch, as the
railroad had tc remove q track for
the placing OF pier to construct the
type of bridge desired, that 1t be re-
imbursed to that extent OF S2,500,
which it now asked. Messrs. Hilker,
Kutcher and Clark voted against It,.
Mr.. Hilker arose and said he was not
In favor of giving the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company $2,500, consider
ing that the company had previously
consented to giving the right of way
free of charge and giving the city
$4,000 towards the erection of a
bridge.
Mr.. Seaman said the city must
have right of way for the extension
and declared the board had reason to
believe the action now underway ap-
peared to be bringing about the re-
suit necessary for the extension. Mr..
Wilson said that City Attorney C. c.
Hommann had stated the present
course would mean saving of from
100000 to $4,000 to the city, and
would probably prevent long litiga-
tion.
Following the discussion. Mr.. Hill
ker said he would not hold up the
proposed improvement and would
therefore reconsider his action and
vote In favor of the resolution, but
under protest. Messrs. Kutcher and
Clark followed suit.
1t developed during q discussion
after the meeting that Attorney Mid
dleton for the railroad company had
at one time offered the city $4,000
and free right of way and that the
only offer now standing which was
made in a similar way, was a charge
of $4,000 to the city.
A resolution as adopted, instruct
ing Mayor Ferd Garretson to sign a
petition to the Board of Chosen
Freeholders, for the erection of a
bridge over the Lehigh Valley tracks.

33 PRISONERS
BURN IN CAGE
Negro Convicts Die at Oak
ley Farm in Mississippi.
Special by United Prs.. Wire.

Jackson, Miss, July 22.-Thirty-
three cOnvicts sleeping on the second
floor OF wooden cage at the Oakley
Convict Farm, twenty miles south
west Of Jackson, were burned to
death shortly before midnight last
night. All were negroes and their
bodies were burned beyond recogni-
ton.
The fire started on the first floor
at the stairway landing, cutting off
the only avenue of escape. The
structure was an ancient wooden af-
fair and was not provided with fire
protection. Two night watchmen
were employed on the farm, but
neither saw the fire until the flames
burst through the windows of the
lower floor. Anguished screams of
the suffering prisoners could be
heard for nearly two miles, and
farmers hurried to the vicinity, but
were unable to give assistance The
lower floor of the cage was used for
storing hay. corn and molasses. The
hay caught fire and spread with add
ed rapidity.
