PAPOOSE BORN
IN GERMANY
INDIAN MOTHER FROM SOUTH
DAKOTA is FIRST EVER TO
GIVE BIRTH IN THAT
COUNTRY.

Berlin, Germany.-The first full
blooded American Indian ever born
in Germany has just seen the light of
day near Dortmund. Westphilia. TIE
father is Sioux INDIAN from Pine
Ridge agency in South Dakota, nam
ed William Bear Shield and the moth
er is Mary Bear Shield.
The father now is in America, but
the mother is a member of an In
dian troupe touring Germany with a
circus. The birth took place in a
typical American prairie wagon while
the troupe was enroute' from Dort-
mund to Recklinghausen.
The mother was anxious that her
little papoose, which is a girl should
be duly registered in the German re-
cords as an American citizen and q
Christian. To that end, she sought
the Intervention of the nearest Am
erican consul, George Eugene Eager
of Chicago, who represents the Unit
ed States at Barmen.
The baby was born on June 20, bu4
as the Fourth of July was approach
ing the baptism was deferred until
then.

NICHOL SON. NOT .:...
TO TAKE POST
METHODIST BOARD OF EDUCA-
TION WON'T RELEASE FOR
MER MITCHELL MAN TO
CORNELL COLLEGE.

Mt. Vernon, lathe presidency
OF Cornell college. made vacant by
the recent resignation of James E..
Harlan, is yet untitled. The recent
announcement that Dr. Thomas Mich
olson of New York, former president
of Dakota-Wesleyan university at
Mitchell, S. D., was to be the new
president has been nullified by the
refusal of the executive committee Of
the board of education, under whose
employment DR.. Nicholson now
works, to accept his resignation tend
cred on his election to the headship
at Cornell.
DR.. Nicholson was appointed as
secretary of the board of education
of the Methodist church by the gen.
eral conference of the church six
years ago. The following general
conference four years later reap
pointed him for another quadrennial
period which is now half up The
executive committee of the board of
education contends that it has no au-
thority to release an officer appointed
by the general conference They
further contend that DR.. Nicholson s
services in his present position are
of too great value to the church as
a whole to permit him to center his
efforts and influence att any one
school.
Those who direct the affairs of
Cornell college are greatly disap-
pointed over the outcome and there
is reason to believe that DR.. Nichol-
son himself had also hoped to be al
lowed to take up the new work, since
he had cordially accepted the election
to the presidency on the sole condi-
ton that he should secure honorable
release from his present contract.
The trustees of Cornell are deter
mined to continue their search for a
president who will be strong enough
that the college may not suffer
through their inability to secure SO
eminent man as DR.. Nicholson.

IMPORTS GROW
8 PER CENT
SECRETARY REDFIELD ATTRIB.
UTES THIS TO SMALL YIELD
OF FOOD STUFFS IN THE
UNITED STATES

Washington, d. C.-Foreign man.
ufacturers sent into the United Stat
es, during the first eight months un-
der the new tariff system, just S.8
per cent more of their finished pro-
ducts than they did under the old.
This was pointed out last night by
Secretary Redfield as ample demon
stration that there was no ground
for the fears of American factory
owners that they would be driven
from business by the democratic
tariff.
Importations of food stuffs show
ed a large percentage of increase in
the eight months which ended with
May, while food stuff exports fell off
substantially There was relatively
small reduction in the amount of
completed manufacturers exported.
The figures" said Secretary Red
field, showed, as it is normal they
should, the results of the worldwide
depression in commerce as modified
by our own shortage of food stuffs,
arising from the inadequate crops of
last year, which condition is RAPIDLY
passing away.
They indicate also that our COM
peting power in manufacturing is
we'll sustained, because, at a time
when our commercial rivals are eager
to sell and unwilling to buy, the item
of exports of fully finished manufac-
lures is depressed relatively little and
| the item of imports of finished manu-
factures is relatively little"

STILL HOPING
FOR AGREEMENT
ADMINISTRATION is NOT ANx-
IOUS FOR DISSOLUTION SUIT
AGAINST THE NEW HAV-
EN- SYSTEM.

Washington, D. C.-Although the
department of justice is preparing to
go ahead and file its long-planned
antitrust suit for the dissolution of
the New Haven railroad system, At
torney-General McReynolds is still
hopeful of a settlement without a
prolonged fight in the courts. AS an
nounced some time ago President
Wilson and the attorney general are
agreed that suit should be filed this
month unless the Massachusetts leg
islature and the executive committee
of the railroad have agreed on GER
tain legislation necessary for the dis
posing of some of the stocks which
the government contends are being
held in violation of law The attor-
ney general agreed to withhold the
suit until JulyN15. 1t now seems like
ly that a disagreement may prevent
the necessary action before the pre-
sent legislature goes out of existence.
The administration officials pin their
faith of settlement without long
fight on the fact that the new legis-
lature comes into existence January
1st.

Says Democratic Party
Is Not Their
Enemy.
WANTS wARBuRG
Expresses Earnest Hope New
York Banker Will Recon-
slider Withdrawal.

Washington, d. C.-Declaring that
it would be unfair to regard the Dem
ocartic party as an enemy for big or
little business, President Wilson to-
day gave out statement in support
of Paul M. Warburg, of New York,
and Thomas d. Jones, of Chicago, his
two nominees for federal reserve
board, who have not yet been con-
firmed by the Senate.
The presidents statement follows:
"It would be particularly unfair to
the Democratic party and to the SEN
ate itself to regard it as the enemy
of business, big or little. l am sure
that it does not regard any man as
an object of suspicion merely be-
cause he has been connected with
great business enterprises. 1t knows
that the business of the country has
been chiefly promoted in recent years
by enterprises organized on a great
scale and that the vast majority of
the men connected with what we have
come to call big business are honest,
incorruptible and patriotic. The coun-
try may be certain that 1T is clear to
to all men, that those who have tried
10 Iudhe Ul6 UuolucoS WHdC IL ou6lS
to be, are the men to be encouraged
and honored, whenever they respond
without reserve to the call of public
service.
Not to Suspect Big Financiers.
81 predict with the greatest conf
dence that nothing done by the DEM
ocratic majority in the Senate will
be of the sort to throw suspicion upon
such men, Mr.. Jones and Mr.. War
burg, in manifesting their willingness
to make personal sacrifices and put
their great experience and ability at
the service Of the government, with
out thought of personal advantage in
the organization of a great reform
which promises to be SO serviceable
to the nation, are setting an example
of patriotism and of public spirit that
the whole country admires. 1t is the
obvious business of statesmenship at
this turning point in our development
to recognize ability and character
wherever it has been displayed and
to unite every force for the up-build-
ing of legitimate business along the
new lines which are now clearly in
dicated for the future"
The president said he earnestly
hoped that Warburg would reconsid-
er his decision not to accept the NOM
day by Warburg because the Senate
banking committee asked him to
appear before it and answer ques-
tions concerning his fitness for SER
vice on the new banking board.
