Zile trudged up the long stairs to
the county Jail and offered freedom
to five striking pattern makers, who
have been jailed by him for violat
ing an injunction, If they would
promise to discontinue picketing.
When Judge Van Zile sentenced
these workers he thundered on the
sacredness of property and personal
liberty which cost this nation bill
lious of dollars to establish.
But this wise and fearless ex-
FOUNDER of justice, who told his
victims he is candidate for re-
election, is shown in another light
as he offered freedom on his terms.
Il thought you d like to get in the
Labor Day parade tomorrow, he
whined.
The patti makers said they
would give him reply later, and
when their visitors had retired they
jointly signed the following letter
and forwarded it to Judge Van
Zlle's residence by spe cial messen-
ger:

INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE.
Members of Every Different Tribe Can
Read These Signals.

A white man who visits foreign ma
tion finds it hard and sometimes inn
possible TO make his most ordinary
wants known The red man has 40
such difficulty The problem of uni
versal language was solved centuries
ago by the savage inhabitants of this
western world
Should an Indian from northern Alas
ka 90 to Patagonia be could by means
of this universal language converse
with his southern brethren almost as
easily as he could with his neighbors
at home. That would also be the case
If he visited Central America or met
the tribesmen OF our own western prai-
ries and mountains.
When this language was invented no
one knows, but every Indian learns it
In addition to his own Recently two
chiefs Of different tribes met in the
Geographical society rooms i'll Wash
ington and held "A conversation that
lasted nearly three hours, and yet nei-
ther one knew word OF the others
language.
This universal language IS, of course,
made up of signs For example If an
Indian Is passing through strange
country and sees other Indians at
distance he makes the peace sign
that is, he holds up his blanket by two
corners so that it covers his whole fig
ure. The same thought is expressed
by extending the bands, palms out
ward, slightly inclined from the face
Any Indian would understand either
one of these signs.
Then there are the abstract signs by
which these "sayages" can express
their thoughts with regard to the
Great Spirit. heaven good evil life
and death, sickness. health, riches and
poverty. Life is expressed ~ drawing
an imaginary thread from the mouth
and death by chopping this thread off
Another sign for death is to hold the
tips Of the fingers Of one hand against
the palm of the other and let them
gradually slip downward ard al last
drop beneath the palm
Most white people think that the In
dian word Of greeting How is mere
ly the abbreyatlon Of the question
How are YOU But that is not so.
The word IS really aolt which means

comes up and growlS out his seemingly
inquisitiye How he is not asking
after your health but telling YOU that
he IS u friend Youth Companion

Hughes Takes Stand in State
ments Against the Adamson
Measure

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept. Is
Charles E. Hughes tonight told the
republican unofficial state convention
here why he had not urged republican
senators to filibuster ITO the last
ditch" against the passage of the Adj
amson eight hour law, passed to a.
vert the threatened railroad strike.
The nominee declared he did not be-
heve in filibustering for one thing,
and that if the majority in Congress
had determined to pass the bill, there
was no reason whatever why its pas
sage should have been delayed by
filibustering tactics.
IF the administration acted with
swiftness," Mr.. Hughes said, then it
cannot cry that a republican candl-
date a thousand miles away should
have saved it from carrying out it's
fixed determination"
The nominee read the convention
correspondence between Chairman
Newlands of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, Harry A.
Wheeler, chairman of the committee
on the railroad situation, of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
and President Wilson-none of tho
letters were from the President, but
he was addressed in the correspond
4ence- to uphold his contention that
three hundred thousand firms and
corporations in the country had asked
