Al. II. Wilson

A pleasing and artistic performance
of " When Old New York Was Dutch -
is promised at the Majestic next Satur-
day afternoon and evening, by Al. ID.
Wilson, the German dialect comedian
and his company of players. This state
ment does not have to be accepted with
"a grain of salt, for Mr.. Wilson s
performances in the past have always
been pleasing and artistic.
The scenes of the play are laid in
1864, when the Dutch village of New
Amsterdam was under English rule for
the first time. The plot deals his
torically with a conspiracy to assassi-
nate the English Governor and restore
Che village to the rule of Holland.
Sprinkled in the story with emotional
situations of dramatic intensity is mirth
and melody in large quantities. There
is plenty of color in scene effects and in
the gorgeous costumes of the English
soldiers and the quaint and antique cos
tunes of the Dutch. "When / First
Met You," "Moon, Moon, Moon, +"
"When the Roses in Spring Bloom
Again. and "Mr. Bear are the new
songs composed by MIR. Wilson for this
production. Adv

D. A. r. ALIGNS FOR FIGHT
Old Time Scramble for Presidency Com
ing in April


Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
various factions of the Daughters of the
American Revolution are organizing
their forces for an old-time fight in
April. when a successor to Mrs. Will
liam Cumming Story, president, is to
be elected.
Mrs. George T. Guernsey, of Kansas,
is an avowed candidate against Mrs.
Story, and her friends are already
rounding up votes in the West and
South. Many of the old faction that
supported Mrs. Matthew T. Scott so
long and SO loyalty have joined the
Guernsey camp, and will try to defeat
Mrs. Story.
Several States have already endorsed
Mrs. Guernsey, and others are prepar-
ing to do so within the next few weeks.
Mrs. Story is campaigning among her
Congressional friends in Washington
and urging them to repair her fences
back in the States.
The prediction was made last night
that the largest convention ever held
by the d. "A. r. will be the one sched-
uled here in April.
The woman suffrage question will be
pressed by the suffragists at the April
meeting, and the leaders of the "Votes
for Women movement think they will
get an endorsement this year.
Mrs. Story has made splendid rec
ord as a financial manager during her
term as president. Her organization has
paid about $4,000 on the debt on Con.
tinental Hall and have given more than
$4,000 for the relief of the suffering
in the European war zone.

INDIANS WEALTHlEST PEOPLE
Individual Creeks Who Last Year Re.
ceived 100000 in Oil Royalties
Tribal Revenues

New York, Feb. 22.-When Secre-
tary Lane in his annual report speaks
of the Osages as probably the wealth
lest people in the world, he draws, says
the "World, picture of prosperity
i'll which their numerous brothers on
western reservations have no part. 1t
was the fortune of the Navajos, one OF
the strongest and worthiest tribes
among the 100000 Indians still re-
naming in the United States, to be
consigned to large barren tract of
territory in Arizona and New Mexico.
By good luck the five civilized tribes
came into possession of enormously
rich lands whose future value was lit
tie suspected The Navajos still live
as best they can from their sheep and
ponies, as they did forty years ago.
The Osages, Creeks, Cherokees, Choc-
taws and Chicasaws have substantial
property interests. 1t was not the
original intention of the government
t, favor one class more than another,
or probably to favor either of them
greatly.
Through the allotment of their
tribal lands in severalty the Osages
each received about 657 acres Their
average wealth. is $9,579, and their
average income from oil and gas roy
alties alone $500. The average Usage
family of four would receive an in
come of nearly $4,000, aside from the
returns from the land allotted its mem
bers.
There are individual Creeks who
last year received over $4,000 oil
royalties.
The problem with other less fortu-
nate tribes is how they shall be raised
from the verge of starvation and made
self supporting by the aid of gov
ernment which tardily is recognizing
its responsibilities. These did not
strike oil.

prices for livestock, the highest ever
