LEGEND OF THE IROQUOiS
Canadian Indians Have Their Own
Way of Accounting for the Five
Races of Men.

The Iroquois Indians of Canada, in
their efforts to account to themselves
for the existence of the five races of
men with which they are acquainted,
have shaped the following legend: In
the beginning the Great Spirit, in or
der to people the earth, went about
making a man Of each nation He
took a lump of earth and nodded it
into a man This first man was
negro. Then he took another lump
and nodded another man. This was
a Chinaman. Then he made an Indian
in the same way, and gave life to all
three.
But two men, Frenchman and an
Englishman, remained TO be created,
| and no earth was at hand wherewith
to make them. What was to be done?
The Great Spirit reached out his arm
| and seized the first animal that came
| in his way. It was a butterfly. The
Great Spirit clipped off it's wings,
| added arms and legs, breathed upon
it to give it a soul and set it down
the first Frenchman.
| Again extending his arm, the Great
Spirit seized another animal 1t was
an ant. It was treated as the butter
fly had been; 1t was given the face
and soul Of man, and was set down
in another coner of the earth. This
was the first Englishman
This explains, says the Idoquois
story, why the English and the French
have always been able to make their
way SO easily about the earth Made
out of animals, and not from Jumps OF
earth, they go everywhere, and sur
pass the poor negro and Indian an6
Chinaman in all things. This accounts
too, for the difference in the charac
ter Of the Englishman and the French
man. The one has always preserved
| something of the Industrious charac
ter of the ant, and the other some
thing Of the light ways of the butter

DENY TAKING GRAFT MONEY.

New York, Feb 10-The most
drastic investigation of police graft
that-has been attempted since Police
Lieutenant Becker's hired gunner
shot Herman RosenthaI to death last
July is declared to be under way as a
result of the story told to the alder
manic committee by James Purcell,
who played games of stake in many
houses under police protection for
nearly seventeen years, according to
his testimony.
"Purcell's story will be investigated
in all its qualifications, it was stated
at police headquarters on behalf of
Commissioner Waldo, who had be-
fore him the four precinct captains
still members of the force who were
accused by Purcell.
They were questioned regarding the
gamblers allegations that they took
money in return for protection to
Purcell. Each denied in sworn state
ments the truth of Purcell's charges.
One of the quartet is Patrick ].
Murphy, leader of Tammany hall. The
others are Thomas F. Maude, Patrick
Corcoran and Fred w. Martens.
District Attorney Whitman plans to
| seek, first, the Indictment of Police
! Captain Thomas Walsh, under sus-
| pension since confessing he shared in
graft collected by PatrOlman Eugene
Fox, and, second, the Indictment OF
| an official at headquarters, a man
suspected as the source of fund
raised to keep George A. Sipp, dis
orderly hotel keeper. from testifying
before the grand jury AGAINST Walsh
prior to the latter's confee sion.
Whitman has deferred for the time
being his purpose to seek the indict-
ment of Inspector Dennis Sweeney
under suspension since Walsh accused
him of having split graft money with
| him.
After Walsh and the headquarters
official have been indicted, If tha
takes place, testimony of states wit
nesses against Sweeney will be heard
by the grand jury, which will ther
take up the allegations of Purcell
who will be corrOborated, according
to the district attorney, by witnesses
whose names have not been disclosed
This is expected to lead to man,
more indictments.
The first to go to headquarter:
was Captain Martens. Then fol
lowed Captain Corcoran, Captain
Maude and Captain Cray.
Each was subjected to a long an
secret examination on the part of tn
police commissioner with the idea Q
discovering, if possible, what basi
there was for the graft" charges @
, Purcell.
, Martens denied positively that b
had ever had any dealings with Pur
cell, indirectly or directly, and b
was willing to undergo any kind of a
e inquiry in court or out.
t The other captains likewise entere
l emphatic denials that they had take

Sweets, Too, Have To Be Barred
Miss Ideal Believes Athletic Fig

never eat sweets and bar the hobble
skirts, even if you are out of fashion.
That's the recipe given by Miss Ideal
at the Forsyth, said to be the most
perfectly formed woman on the stage.
Miss Ideal, whose real name is Miss
Irene Deal. Of Brookline, Mass, is not
only an expert swimmer, diver, horss-
back rider, baseball player, and what
not, but she is a preacher-or, rather,
teacher TO thousands OF women who

OF course, few can really become
ideal, and, IN fact, Miss Ideal is al

but she tells them a few things they
may do easily to correct themselves.
Hobble Skirt Denounced.
Follow the rules, she says, and, even
if you can't be a Venus, you can be
healthier and will feel better than
you ever did in your life.
And that means what has been
enumerated already, with emphasis
on bar the sweets" The hobble skirt,
she says, should be barred because it
impedes good, healthy sort Of walk

OMMIT TEES
PUT ON BOND
ISSUE WORK
Thomson Names One Body to
Work Up Support and An
other to Determine Need.

Councilman A. D. Thomson, chair
man Of the committee of fifteen in
vestigating the feasibility of a gen
eraI bond issue, has apportioned the
preliminary work between two sub
committees. Upon the report Of these
subcommittee the recommendations
of the whole committee win hinge.
Alderman John S. Gambler is chair--
man Of the submtttee appointed to
Investigate the need Of a bond issue.
the other members being Alderman L
N. Ragsdale and Councilman A. r.
Coicord- Councilman W. G. Hum
phrey heads the second subconnmit-
tee. which is charged with ascertain
ing what support the bond issue
would receive. The associate mem
bers are Councilman OrviIle H. Hall
and Alderman ]. H. Harwell.
Judge Gambler was one of the origi-
nal advocates Of the proposition. He
also is leading fight to induce the
incoming Legislature to submit a con-
stiuttonal amendment permitting all
municipalities to issued bonds upon a
two thirds vote Of the people voting
In the bond election. At present two
thirds Of the voters registered at the
last preceding registration must vote
IN favor Of the issue. Judge Gambler
says 1t is next to impossible to get
two-thtrds Of the registered voters to
the polls on any day except a national
election.
The hard work IN connection with
the bond issue will be done by Coun-
Gilman W. G.. Humphreys committee,
which might be called a campaign
committee. Chairman Thomson, Of
the whole committee. said Tuesday 1t
was necessary to gain the support Of
the Mayor, the newspapers and Ger
tain civic organizations before any
bond issue would have the slightest
chance of adoption. It 10 up to Mr..
Humphrey and his committee either
to get this support, or report their
difficulties to the whole committee.
The support investigating commit
tee is what is known as a Woodward
committee. Mr.. Humphrey is chair
man Of the Finance Committee, Mr.
Hall is chairman of the Streets and
Sidewalks Committee and Mr.. Har-
well head the Sewers and Drains
Committee. The Mayor appointed
them all. Thew have not always
worked in harmony with him, but 1t
is generally believed they cain gain
his support for the bond issue. The
whole bond committee, however, IS
hopeful of the Mayors support from
the beginning. No dates have been
set for meetings Of the sub commit
tees.

SLEUTHS PROBING
GEORGIA LYNCHING

AMERICUS, June 24-Detectives
are investigating the lynching of Will
Redding, the negro who shot Chief of
Police W. c. Barrow, Saturday night
This became manifest to-day as the
detectives were especially busy col
Letting data. Inquiry here affords no
information as to who sent the de-
tectives to the city. They were not
brought here by local authorities.
Judge z. A. Littlejohn, of the Sum-
ter Superior Court, will return from
Columbus tonight. He said when he
left for Columbus upon his return he
would have a thorough investigation
of the lynching made. If the evil
dence is SUFFICIENT Judge Littlejohn
said he would call a special session of
the Grand Jury at once to deal with
the lynchers.
A strong pubic sentiment against
the Iynch1ng has developed. At first
this was not 50 generally manifest,
but since the passing Of resolutions
by all Of The churches on Sunday con-
dennning the lynchfng the sentiment
has crystalIized almost in unanimous
fashion in favor OF session OF the
Grand Jury to investigate the matter
On account of the fact that the
lynchers wore no masks and were en-
tirely open in their procedure, an in
vestigation of the affair by the Grand
Jury would likely lead to sensational
developments. Practically everyone
in the mob is known here, If those
who know will give evidence.
Though he is still in a critical con-
dition, Chief Barrow is resting as well
as could be expected, according to the
statement issued to-day by his ply
stefan. A favorable symptom is the
freedom from fever and the fact that
the patient has great will power and
nerve control, which may save HIS
life in spite Of his advanced age. He
Is 72 years old.
