before the legislature met the Herald
started In to cram its own ideas down
the throat of the general assembly.
All through the session the Herald, in
stead giving impartial news &C

has in its news reports, insisted on try
ing to force its own theories forward
by editorial fireworks which have ex-
ploded harmlessly in the air and in

measures is legitimate and proper for
a newspaper but this criticism should
be in the editorial columns of the
paper and not in the news columns
which should be impartial. Taking it
all in all, however The Herald serves
useful purpose. 1t feels strongly

judged It's criticisms have not been
made with any selfish or Interior mo-

Was Held Up, Returns to Home

Philip T. Sweeney, the farmer of
Prince Georges county, Nd, who was
held up by two white highwaymen on
the Marlboro pike. about two miles
beyond the District line, at an early
hour yesterday morning, had his scalp
wounds dressed at Casualty Hospital
yesterday. He disposed of his produce
at Eastern market and returned home
with his wife late yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Sweeney was not armed when
the highwaymen tried to rob him and
fired two shots at him.

and Forestville are alarmed over the

Thinks Robbers Are Amateurs.
Maj. Pullman, superintendent of
police, thinks the men who held up Mr..
and Mrs. Sweeney. Peter Haresch and
two other residents of Prince Georges
county in the past week, are amateurs
Why they should have held up Mr.. and
Mrs. Sweeney and Mr.. Haresch while
they were on their way to market, he
said, he could not understand. Coun-
try people on their way to market,
Maj. Pullman suggested, do not usually
have much money in their possession.
Sheriff Hardy, who was away from
home yesterday morning, did not learn
of the affair until early in the after
noon. He said last night that he had
arranged to make an early start this
morning and hoped he would be able to
bring about the arrest of the culprits.

To Follow Indian Customs.

Indian customs are to be closely fol-
lowed, such for instance as not using
any salt in the seasoning of these
foods, for the Sioux must not use salt
at feast. Whatever viands are left
over may be put in a bucket and car
ried to the home and there salt may
be used
Part of the menu at this Redskin
feast is to be hominy and beef There
is to be honeyed corn in the original

So enthusiastic are the youngsters of
the social center over the plans for this
festival that many of them are reading
up the chapters of their histories treat
ing of the Indians with more zeal than
they have ever shown in the classroom.
Committees are already at work at
t he social center for the formal open

ing. and a much larger attendance is
expected on the roof. A professional
woman decorator has already prof
fered her services to direct the deco
rating of the roof with green. and the
boys of the social center classes are
falling over each other to get appointed
on the committee to assist her.
August Ii has been decided upon as
the date for the exhibit of Industrial

made by the children in the summer

The school orchestra, another inno-
walton of this season, is to furnish a
concert. The decorating has been pro-
viIed for and the predominating fea-
ture is to be large hanging baskets of

Invitations are being sent to a num-
Der of prominent persons to attend this
exhibit, and the children are working
hard that their very best efforts may

WHITES. NAME TO
BE LEFT CLEAN
Attorney Says He Will Show Man
Slain by Thaw to Have
Been Misjudsed.

II United Press Leased Wire Service. !
NEW YORK, June 25.-The name OF
Stanford White will stand clean be
fore all the world before the present
Thaw trial Is concluded, declared
Deputy Attorney General Cook at the
opening of the trial today.
II am prepared to prove said
Cook. that White never was the beast
which Evelyn Nesbit Thaw painted
him. 1 am prepared to prove that
she played Thaw against White for
financial gain. After almost a decade
of villifying, his name will be clean
when this trial ends"
To do this, he declared, Eyelyn's
life from the time she left her Pitts
burgh home as a,'girl of thirteen years
for the night life of Broadway, will b.
barred. Cook asserted he would prove
by her early life that White did not
have to "seduce'' her, as has been II
legged in previous trials.
, By this, Cook hopes to prove that
the story which Evelyn told Thaw O.
her relations with White did not
cause Thaw's act as he knew long be,
fore that Evelyn was not the innocent
girl she claimed to have been WHOM
she met White. Cook believes this
new version of the hite-Evelyn stor.'
shows that Thaw was suffering from
paranoia long before he met Evelyn
and still is afflicted with it.
Many of the facts he will use, Cooi
said, were obtained from Harry Mes
bit Evelyn's brother. John B. Stanch
field, Thaw's chief counsel, had twelvE
more New England witnesses ready t.
testify today. They were people he
had met during his two years sojourn
in New England following the escape
from Matteawan. This delegation
marks the end of New England wit
nesses.
