INDIANS DEMAND
RELEASE OF THAW
Mrs. Anita Comfort Brooks, SUI
frage Leader, Starts Peti-
ton to Gov. Whitman.

Harry X. Thaw may cease TO worry.
William Travers Jerome and all the
justices on the Supreme Court bench
need no longer hold even fraction OF
a terror for him. because-well, be-
cause the Great American Indian is
on his side. The G. A. 1. and all his
brothers and sisters and members of
his tribe are going TO sign a great
petition demanding that Thaw be freed
forever from the impending shadow OF
Matteawan and that his full Liberties
and rights as a citizen be restored.
Mrs. Anita Comfort Brooks, suffrage
worker and president of the Gotham
Club. is back of the plan. 1t rs more
than plan. because the petition has
already been drawn up and eight Ind
ians have affixed their signatures. They
did so last night at Mrs. BrooKS'S
apartments. in the Hotel Wellington,
Seventh av. and 55th 81. The eight are
only a forerunner Of what is TO come;
Peace was the idea back of the Ind
ian gathering at Mrs. Brooks's house
last night. but it was releCated TO the
background when the Thaw matter
came up. The Indians turned out IN
full regalia four sturdy aborigines
and as many squaws. Chief among
them were Mr.. and Mrs. White Bea-
yer. of the Caughnawaga tribe, but
there were others of scarcely less i'm
port from the tribes of Seneca. No
hawk and Apache.
Before seventy-fve guests Of Mrs.
Brooks's White Beaver spoke at length
on ,he war i'm Europe, the tone Of his
speech being deprecatory, and then an
orchestra ensconced behind palms
PLAYED peace-like Indian music. An
Other Indian paid his compliments 10
the war and there was more music.
1t was highly successful peace pow
WOW and closed with a flourish when
the Indians declared for peace among
lawyers by making their marks on the

gian Ships Sole Freight.

with no passengers or freight, and
carrying only 1877 sacks Of mail. the
Norwegian steamship Kristianiafjord
arrived yesterday from Bergen. Nor
way. and went directly from Quaran-
tine into Robbins drydock in Eric
Basin. Her haste TO the drydock gave
rise 20 n rumor that she was the un-
known vessel that was IN collision with
the Ward freighter Bayamo. but there
were no marks on the Norwegian, and
she had been in collision with nothing
but head seas throughout her run or
ten days from Bergen.
As the westbound freight is practi-
cally nil and the passenger traffic er-
ceedingly small. the Kristianiafiord
was sent over in ballast and without
passengers. She will have her bottom
cleaned in drydock and take on big
cargo for Norway. leaving Saturday.
The President which went down to
Quarantine TO take Off her mail. chased
the Norwegian up to Erie Basin, and
-bilo she was being hoisted clear OF
the water the mail sacks were dropped
over her stern to the Presidents decks,
a distance of about ninety feet.

Mrs. Tatum decided to get into the

Jack" motored to Judge Hayden's
home. They got there at 1880 o'clock
Tatum with assault.
Hayden issued the paper. but the
regular Great Neck warrant serving
constable couldr't be found. A deputy
Sheriff was summoned, but he said he

the affair. At length David f. Allen,
a constable. was rounded up, and he
started FOR the Tatum house.
In the minutes before Allen reached
Pontica Mrs. Tatum had suffered a
change of heart 1t wasn't a complete
change. She still wanted her husband
arrested. but she believed he had gone
20 bed and she didn't want him to be
taken out into the chill night air. She
wasn't so particular about Henry Cod
dington, for she had seen 70 it that a
warrant charging him with disorderly
conduct was sworn out.

CITY LIGHTED FROM
MUNICIPAL PLANT

LONGMONT, Colo, July 14.-One
4O-watt Tungsten lamp, burning free
current from the municipal lighting
plant, brightens nearly every porch
in this city of 1000 souls.
The residents of Longmont refus-
ed the private eompany's light and
burned candles and oil lamps for two
months back in 1911 while the muni-
cipal plant was building, because the
private concern attempted to block the
city owning its own plant.
Longmonfs experience with munich
pal ownership has been so marked
ly successful, inquiries are received
fIom all parts of the world The
city's inhabitants are conservative,
hard working and thrifty and went
into the municipal electric yower and
lighting business only when goaded
into it by unfair treatment and oppo-
sition. But once entered upon the
task, Longmont pushed the municipal
public utility with the same energy
that has made the city the greatest
sugar beet center in the United
