the work will be urged to join the
class. More than two dozen have al
ready signified their intention to take

Police Were Active.

This morning the police were S. our
ing the city for Oelrichs, the police
hoping he could give some information
as to the identity of the person driv-
ing his car There was not the slight
est suspicion that Oelrichs himself had
anything to do with the affair, but ac
cording to the version by the police,
automobile bearing Oelrichs license
number was wrecked on upper Broad
way last night and the police at once
suspected this was the car Miss
Singleton was riding in.
The girl told an incoherant story at
first She said she was in an automo-
bile which had been wrecked and that
she had been stabbed 10 times by
Columbia student. The girl said she
never heard of Oelrichs.

NORWAY STORTHING TO
ABOLISH DECORATIONS

Christiana, Jan. 20.-There Is a
great movement in favor of the abo-
lition of decorations in Norway. Thus,
many politicians are already opposed
to such honors. In the recently
elected storthing there are SO men,
bers who control a majority against
decorations. They have already sub
mitted an amendment of the consti-
tuition In this respect.
A sensation has been created by the
fact that an anti-democrat. and even
storthing, a few days ago sen tback
met minister and ex-speaker of the
strothing, a few days ago sent back
the Grand Cross of Saint Olaf, the
highest distinction in Norway, which
the king recently conferred upon
him. He has rendered the fatherland
great services, especially when Nor
way declared her independence, and
the dissolution of the Swedish Nor
wegian union took place.
In letter to the kings secretary,
NJ Throne thanks his majesty many
times for the great honor, adding that
he sends the decoration back, as in
doing so he believes he is merely do
ing his duty as Norwegian citizen.

RODE HORSE THAT WON
MAN BRIDE AND LAND

NatcheZ, Miss, Jan. 20-Russ Har-
ris negro jockey and trainer, famous
since ante-bellum days for the race he
rode on Ypsilanti to win "a lady and
a fortune" for his master, is dead at
the age of so years.
White experts admitted that Harris
could talk to a horse" Also they
knew the wonderful gift he had of
getting his horse to run" in the last
lap. Neither will they ever forget the
race Ypsilanti made with the black
man on his back.
Harris was riding for William Yam
cy, planter, and it was IL years be-
fore the war. Rivalry among the rich
horse owners in Mississippi and Loui-
slana had come to the point where
lot of them were betting more money
on their livestock than their means
afforded. When the elimination races
were over Yancy stood to lose his 5000
acres in one bet if Ypsilanti failed to
come in first.
But far beyond mere land and mon
ey was another prize. the girl to whom
he had been engaged for a year. Two
days before the race she told Yancy
that she would not marry him if his
horse did not win over Will Craw-
ford's mare, that stood favorite in the
betting.
In the stretch of the great contest
Ypsilanti faltered ana nearly fell.
Crawford's mare was nosing ahead.
Harris had used neither whip nor
spur, nor did he use them in this crit
ical moment. Clutching the swaying
saddle, he leaned over and talked in
to Yysilantis ears. Ypsilanti heard
and ended by winning the race.
Harris was slave then and said
that Yancy gave him his freedom on
the day that he married the girl In
later years the negro trainer. inde-
pendently wealthy, still chung to hors-
es. He won many victories on the re-
nowned Equainox and Richard C
Hotard, who employed him in late
years, declared the negro was the best
trainer and rider the south ever pro.

UMAT|LLA-MORROW POULTRY SHOW
FORMALLY OPENS HERE TOMORROW

Among other things for which the
snow blockade between here and
Walla Walla has been responsible is
the postponement of the opening of
the annual Umatilla- Morrow county
poultry show for a day. According
TO schedule, the show would have
thrown its doors open today but
the blockade held up so many birds
that it was decided to delay the for
NAL opening until tomorrow.
Heretofore. delays have been caus-
ed by the failure to get the coops ar
ranged in time. but this year all of
the coops are in place and waiting
to receive the birds. Already prize
winning birds from the North Yaki-
ma and Walla Walla shows and birds
that have been winners at Madison
Square Garden and Chicago have ar
rived and will complete with the To-
cal birds, which in the past have been
able to hold their own with the out
side entries. other birds are en-
route from Tacoma, Seattle, Portland
Salem and other coast cities so that
the boast of the officers that this
would be the largest poultry exhibit
ton in eastern oregon bids fair to be
justified.
The officers announced today that
the pupils of the Hawthorne and
Fields schools will be passed in free
tomorrow afternon, those of the
Iincoln school Wednesday, of the
Washington school Thursday and of
the high and Catholic schools Fri
day.
With every ticket sold during the
week will be given another ticket

INDIANS, IN NEED,
WON'T TAKE COIN
Object to Having Their Hunting
Grounds Restricted.


Claremore. Okla. Jan. 20.-Scores
of Indian families living in the wilds
of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma
enrolled as fullblood Cherokees. are
in destitute circumstances and il is
said some of them may not survive
the winter, while the Indian agency
checks for $13S per capita are theirs
for the asking. Such, in brief. is the
remarkable story of the members of
the tribe who believe that great in
justice has been done them and as
a result have taken VOWS never to
accept the money.
Cling to Hunting Grounds.
When the Dawes commission enter
ed upon the task of alloting lands to
the indians, it was found that a strong
opposition existed to the plan. Many
so-called fullbloods chafed under the
thought of having their hunting
grounds restricted and have never
accepted the governments choice.
Three years ago, when the govern
ment distributed to each Indian S133
as his share in the fund which had
accumulated from the removal of the
ChSlohetS from georgia TO Oklah0-
ma, over 20 years ago, these Indians
refused to accept the money and over
40 checks still remain uncalled for
at the agency.
Situation Is Serious.
Twenty years or more ago. there
was organized among the Indians a
secret society known as the Kee-to-
wah, or Night Hawks, the object oi
which, among other things, was tc
| force the government to carry ou
the treaties made wherein the govern
ment agreed that all lands should bt
owned in common and that the In
dian should be protected in hi
rights. The members of this secre
society, living remote from center
of civilization. have not kept il
touch with the ever changing condi
tions and are unable to note the de
mands of the time and the onwar,
march of civilization. The vows the
have taken preclude the acceptanc
of the money or lands and the prob
lem of the government grows great
er as time passes.
The situation grows serious as col
weather approaches and each yea
makes the problem greater.
