Indians Object To

Indians Protest Against Present Method
of Handling individual Fund.-
Want Annual Lump Sum

.\t the recent Indian Temperance
Union League convention held at
Ft. Yates last month, a number of
matter concerning the interests and
general welfare of the Indians were
also discussed and resolutions adoDt.
cd
\ copy of the resolution regard
ing the manner of handling indivi-
dual Indian funds has been sent to-
the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
at Washington. signed by President
Thos. Frosted and Secretary Thos.
Ashley. The resolution in part
follows:
Under the present system Of
handling These funds, money il
dolcd out in small monthly pay
mcnts to the individuals with the
result when the fund to his credit
is exhausted he has nothing L"
show for the money except that he
has kept body and soul together
during the time he had money tu
his credit.
To Use II concrete example:
Our view is that il am indian has
$4,000 to his credit he should be al
lowed to take $1,000 and cxpcnd it
as he secs fit for stock, horses, agri-
cultural implements and other usc-
full purposes; If at the end OF year
Ire can show that he has made pru-
dent use Of this first $1,000, he
should be- allowed to draw another
$1,000, and so on.
''This would give the Indian
self-rcliance, and give him voice
in the management ofhis own mon
cy and affairs, which he is now de-
privcd of under the present system
OF handling money to his credit ~

vides the piece with rare quality
of whimsical humor.
Ted Ewing, the character imperson-
ated by Mr. Abeles, is the young
guardian of Nora Hildreth. Seeking
to invest her money wisely. he con-
suits his friend, Sam Parker, who is
wealthy, and decides to put her $4,000
in addition to practically all his own
entire fortune, amounting to about
the same sum, into a syndicate known
as Potash Preferred. Potash goes to
smash in the stock market and Ted,
who is much in love with Nora, plans
to reimburse her by taking out life
insurance policy and then having him
self killed by accident" About this
same time, Ted is receiving the partic-
ulra attention of DIR. Schartz, the chief
of gang of blackmailers, who ex-
plains that if Ted does not pay him
$1,000 he (Ted) will surely meet with
a fatal accident. This is just what
Ted is looking for and he arranged
for the doctor to deliver the accident
in return for all his remaining cash,
$3.50, putting the money in charge
off Ted's Japanese Valet, Ok. Ted
is,warned that he must be prepared to
die at any moment after Five.
II now develops that the smash was
only ruse and that the stock is
really advancing in value, but Ted is
eofronted with the most ridiculous
difficulties in saving himself from his
own deeply laid plans of disaster.
Finally he wins the love of Nora, buys
off the Northumberland brings all the
complications of the story to a hap
Ply conclusion.
In addition to Mr.. Abeles, the cast
includes Succo Hayakawa, as the
valet; Betty Shade as Nora; Jane
Darwell as Mrs. Russell; Theodore
Roberts as the terrible Schwartz and
Monroe Salisbury as Sam Parker, the
brboker.

PROTEST PosroFF1cE CUTS

Washington-In protest against
salary reductions of postal clerks
and letter carriers, representative
Buchanan, member of the House labor
group, has introduced a resolution
asking the post master general to in
form Congress why the economy plan
of the department is directed against
the low-salaried men in the ranks.
while the officials with large salar-
les are unmolested.
The resolution has the Endorsement
of the National Federation of Post
office Clerks, affiliated to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. In expla-
nation of the need OF Congressional
investigation into the postal depart
ments method of reducing expenses,
Thos. F. Flaherty, legislative repre-
sentative of the post-office clerks,
said:
"The clerks and carriers are as 10y
al and as self-sacrificing as any body
of men. If the needs of the service
demand retenchment, we will stand
our proportionate share. But we OBJ
ject to having the efficient men in the
ranks, the hard working, plodding
clerk and carrier, suffer a twenty per
cent wage reduction on the plea Of
economy while no Effort is made to
shave the princely salaries of the de-
partmental and service political ia
vorites. If salary reductions are nee
essary, let them be more equally dis
tributed.
"The situation in Chicago is typi-
cal of the entire service. -Four hun
bred clerks and carriers were reduc-
ed $500 and $500 because of falling
revenues, caused largely by placing
the catalogues of the mail orders con-
Germs into the parcel post classified
ton, which means a 100000 annual
loss to the post-of6ce department.
The already sorely tried employees
must now suffer wage reductions to
make up the 100000 gift to the mail
order houses"

Edward Abeles in AFTER Five" a
Comedy Of Life Turned Upside Down
Jesse L. Lasky presents Edward
Abeles, who made his first notable
screen success under Lasky manage
ment iii @Brewster's Millions, in a
new photo-dramatic comedy with a
money motive, entitled after Five.
This play which is the joint work
of Cecil B. DeMille and William c.
DeMille finds humor in things and
conditions generally associated with
tragedy, such as life-insurance coupI-
ed with plot to get killed accident
ally on purpose and a Matchmaking
scheme of the deepest dye. The orig

has been stolen by gypsies in her in
fancy This is all due to plot con-
ceived and executed by Won Herbeck,
the chancellor to the Grand Duke,
who seeks to put his own daughter in
the place of the stolen princess.
There is king in the story, and he
is the ruler of the neighboring country
of Jugendheit. In order to prevent
war between the two principalities he
is betrothed to marry the false Prin-
cess (Von Herleck's daughter) whom
he has never seen. But the King is
young and romantic, and revolts at
this procedure. In the vents that fol-
low the King rescues the little Goose
Girl from insult~and falls in love with
her. However, it appears that it is
impossible for him to marry a peas
ant girl and he finally consents to
marry the Princess after all. But
by that time the little Goose Girl has
been identified as the real scion of
royalty, and in the Princess of Ehr-
enstein the King of Jugendheit finds,
to his surprise and JOY, the woman of
his choice.
Miss Clark assumes the role of the
little Princess whose lot it is to tend
the geese of peasant foster-parents.
Monroe Salisbury appears as the
frank, democratic and warm hearted
King. Other leading members Of the
company are Sidney Dean, E. N.
Dunbar, James Neill, L. Payton, P. E.

At the Majestic, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday will be shown the two
funniest men in flmdom Charles
Chaplin and Ben Turpin. Both Of
these actors started their careers as
pantomine acters and it is surely won
derfui to see the control they have
over their facial expression When
Mr.. Chaplin bid goodbye to the Key
stone company his complaint was that
they would not let him be as funny as
he wished to be on signing a contract
with the Essanay Co., his one demand
was that he must be allowed to direct
and produce his own pictures. He at
once secured the services of Ben Tur-
pin, the only comedian who was really
a match for him and they produced,
"His New Job" During the taking
of this picture in Chicago the police
reserves were required to keep back
the enormous crowds which collected
wherever Chaplin appeared. The
Chicago Tribune says, 1t is seldom
a person makes a street laugh as it did
yesterday when Charles Chaplin set
Madison chuckle in the sketch be-
tween Dearborn and Fifth avenue. He
occupied at least four ceHters of jocu-
larity for the shifting crowds all day
long who in the warmth of his sun
shine forgot wet feet and drabbled
tempers. This picture Ellis New job
