ELOQUENT APPEAL
Pamunkey Indians Show Why
They Should Have Privi-
leges Given Them.

Before the house committee on
Chief Cook and fifteen braves of the
Pamunkey Indian tribe. appeared as
opponents of the bill introduced in the
house. taxing the Indians for fishing
off of their reservation. Chief Cook,
who is a brilliant leader of his peo-
pie. made a speech against the bill
that fairly swept the committee from
It's feet Eloquent, proud and digni-
fed. the chief presented the case of
his people.
There are only two tribes of Indians
in the State of Virginia, the Pamunkey
and the Mattaponi tribes. The lat
ter hold a small reservation Of eight
hundred acres. four hundred of
which is under water at high lido.
In the eastern section of the State.
The chief in his address reviewed the
history of his people. showing the
great friendship which had always
been between his tribe and their white
brethren.
who was it that befriended the
early settlers when they were sore be-
set by other tribes and hunger? The
Pamunkey Indians" the old chief said,
throwing up his head proudly. Who
was it that saved Captain John Smith.
when a savage was about to dash his
brains out? 1t was Pamunkey In
dian" And he illustrated many other
historical instances where his people
had taken the part of the white man.
It was brilliant Grafton and showed
q wonderful knowledge of history and
law.
Judge Martin Williams. of Giles.
made a eloquent appeal in behalf OF
the red man, as did Colonel Leely. OF
Page. Both of these able men told
IF the many Injustfces which had been
done the honest Indian and they ad-
gocated the death of the measure.
Several others, including Mr.. Gregory
of New Kent, defended the measure.
but after a few minutes in executive
session, the committee, almost as one
man. refused to report the bill,
When the news was communicated
TO Chief Cook he was in the hall of
the capitol. His braves were waiting
for him just outside of the door. When
the chief walked to the entrance and
announced that they had won their
aght the fifteen braves gave a ire
mendous war whoop which startled
