DAMAGED GOODS"
OPENS HERE TO-DAY

| damaged Goods" the drama that
upset the country two years ago and
became the greatest stage sensation
the nation has seen, is to be shown
here in motion pictures.
| It is announced that this remark.
able picture has been booked by the
Orpheum and Bismarck theaters for a
run of two days. The first showing
will be given today.
The motion picture version Of Dam:
aged Goods" is even more remarkable
than the speaking stage play. 1t tells
more of the strange inner mysteries
of the plot than was possible on the
stage.
Most remarkable of all, the same
actors who presented this play in its
history making run on the speaking
stage will be seen in the pictures.
Richard Bennett and his whole cast
of co-workers, all actors of promin.
ence on the speaking stage, enacted
the play before the cameras of the
American Film company at Santa Bar
bara. The most painstaking and ex.
pensive work was necessary to tell
this story on the screen with the deli.
cacy necessary.
The plot deals with the disease
which has been held an unmention.
able thing for centuries. But it is re:
lated so dramatically, so clearly and
Interestingly that it must interest
everyone and offend none.
! The picture was shown before the
most critical audience that could be
gathered when the Mutual Film Cor.
operation through which it is released
gave private advance screening OF
Damaged Goods" at the Broadway
theater in New York. On that occasion
1900 doctors, lawyers, social workers
men and women, youths and girls
among them, saw the picture and sal
through it in spellbound silence. Then
as the closing subtitle flashed on the
screen the audience broke into ap
plause that lasted for five laundering
minutes.
Il The reviewers and critics of hard
hearted New York have been mstint
ing in their praise of this picture
One of the nations best known critics
OF the film drama wrote.
"The Mutual version of Damaged
Goods is free from the faint which
inheres in most of the sex problem
plays. Il does not parade evil that
good may come of it, it does not ling
er over the horrid and morbid to IT,
tillate perverted tastes under the
preaching of a great moral lesson.
There is distinct and powerful
dramatic element in the story a vari
alton of the tragic idea that conse
quences are Implying, that the will
and the virtue of man or woman are
assailable on thousand points and
that few of US will emerge scathless
from the conflict with temptation.
The picture has lesson and a truth
for everybody. 1t shows how the most

Sinecure Positions Still
Kept Up

There was some discussion at the
Bemidji council regarding the sine
cure positions which are still being
kept up by the Indian Office at
Washington, especially those filled
by so-calied farmers. Delegates
from several reservations had more
or less criticism to make regarding
the farmers upon their several res
ervations.
There are from fifty to seventy
five sinecure positions now being
filled in the Chippewa Indian ser
vice, yet no relief can be obtained
from the Indian office. This is not
remarkable nor even surprising
since congress itself seems to be
una BILE to correct the evil.
The only hope there may be to
abolish the sinecure positions is to
present the matter again next win
ter to congress in as forcl5le a
light as possible.

the objections of the Mile Lac
Indians to dividing the judgment
with the other Chipoewas of Min
nesota, especially as the lands of
their reservation were taken by
settlers prior to the passage of the
Act of 1889, and that act only con-
6rmed the entries as the decision
of the Court of Claims shows.
The treaty between the Missis
sippi Chippewas and the United
States in 1864 gives the Mile Lac
G lfppewas the exclusive right to
the Mile Lac reservation, and an
equal right with the other Missis-
sippi bands to the Mississippi res
ervation near Cass Lake, and like
wise an equal right with those
bands to the White Earth rescr-
walton, but it does not give the
bands any right to the Mile Lac
reservation.
The attorneys for the Mile Lac
band have always maintained that
if the matter was put w to the
Court of Claims, it would modify
it's judgmen: so as to apply to the
Mile Lac bands alone. The Mile
Lac Indians have been very insist
ant since last year that this should
be done, and this will probably be
the final outcome.

There are members d=Eeser-
vation who can fill all the positions
and they will insist upon this even
to the extent Of invoking the courts
to have the law passed under the
last Indian appropriation act full
filled.
Bitter complaints are being made
against Mr.. Dumnert, who is issue
clerk, and who usually assumes
charge over all the work of agency
here for importing employees al
though members of the tribe are
competent and anxious to do the
work. Mr.. Dummert requires res
ervation people to do the work
done here for the agency for very
little more than he pays imported
helu although the latter do not do
any better or faster work than
local men whose money is paying
for it.

Who Pay His Salary?

1t IS of some interest among the
Chippewas of this reservation to
know who is paying the salary of
John r. Howard for loafing around
here or at Detroit, and whether it
is the government or the Chippe-
was that is paying this salary. If
it is the Chippewas, it would be to
their interest to learn from WASH
ington why he IS being kept here
at their expense to continue to stir
up trouble and turmoil.

The Mile Lac indians
Claim Judgment Alone

The Mile Lac Chippewas, who
have been much dissatisfied with
the judgment Of the Court OF
Claims in the Mile Lac case in
favor of all the Chippewas of Min.
nesota, are now ipsistent upon
appealing to the court to modify
it's judgment upon the grounds
that the lands of the Mile Lac
reservation, which had been enter
ed by whites prior to the act of
1889, we're not included in the pro
visions of the act.
The Mile Lac Chippewas occu-
py peculiar position, they were
part owners of the Mississippi
Chippewa reservation under the
treaty of 1864, and part owners of
this reservation under the treaty
of 1867, and exclusive owners of
the Mile Lac reservation. The
government, under the treaties
referred to, agreed to remove them
to either the Chippewa reservation,
or to this reservation, and to pay
their expenses of removing, give
them rations for six months after
their removal, and to help them in
various ways. Those who removed
did receive the assistance provided
for by the treaties referred to.
The government took away the
Mile Lac reservation and opened
it to settlement contrary to its
treaties with the Chippewas of
Mile Lac, and the Court OF
Claims has rendered Judgment
for only very little more than
half the value of the reservation,
or for about thirty three thousand
acres, and three hundred Indians
at Mile Lac have not yet received
allotments, and very little assist
ance from the tribal fund al
though they are entitled to more
than many of the Indians are now
receiving who had no interest in
the lands from which the fund
was derived.
Persons who have no interest in
the Mile Lac suit whatever ex-
cept what the Court of Claims
may admit it enormously gave
them, are trying to have more 10
say relative to the Mile Lac
Judgment than the Mile Lac
Chippewas, and this has caused
the latter to consider taking steps
which may induce the Court of
Claims to modify it's judgment.

In The List Of The
Annanias Club

1t is due all the Chippewas OF
Minnesota that there should be no
secrecy in the discussion Of their
affairs; truthful men should come
out open and above board. No
man with grain of principle would
say anything about another which
he would not be willing to say
publicly, or even publish, If ne
thought it to be true.
1t is for this reason that the pub
Usher invites discussion by
Henry Warren of his statements
made at Bemidji, that he dis|ikes
what he characterized as the me-
thods of the publisher of The TOM
AHAwK in Indian matters. The
columns of The TOMAHAwK are
open to him for this purpose. 1t
is honorable for man to tell an
other where his faults are in taking
part in public or tribal matters,
but extremely dishonorable to APP
proach a government official and
make untruthful statements to in
jure or discredit an opponent.
At Bemidji, during the meeting
of the General Council there,
Henry Warren stated to Indian
Inspector Knight that the publish
er is partial to Keewatin Academy
because the latter's son was edu-
Gated there and obligations had
beer incurred for him. The truth
of this statement was challenged
in open council by the publisher,
but Mr.. Warren did not have the
manhood to make any statement
re garding what he said to the In
spector.
If the fact that the publisher en-
dorsed the actions of the school
board which consisted then of Eu-
gene j. Warren, Archie Libby and
G. r. Beaulieu as a board by in
forming the president of the acade-
my that the board had been duly
elected, and that the publisher
would vouch for its actions in the
approval of the tuition, board and
other expenses of Delaney Davis,
nephew of Henry and Eugene
Warren, amounting to several hun
dred dollars which has not yet been
paid, is an obligation of the pub
Usher then he must admit it is true.
But it comes with very poor
grace from Henry Warren to try
and create prejudices by making
misrepresentation to an Inspector
to prejudice HIM since the matter
is one for which he himself should
be under obligations to the acade-
nv instead of the publisher.
The Chippewas of Minnesota are
too we'll acquainted with the efforts
that have been made to pay the
tuition of the members of practi-
cally only one family at schools
for the higher education of Indian
boys, for this was fully and open
ly discussed by THE ToMAHAwK
three years ago, and as this family
had incurred Obligations at the
Keewatln Academy, it endea> ored
to wipe out these obligations by
criticising the school. This was
done as late as last winter when
young Peter Jourdan appeared in
his own and on behalf Of other
mixed blood Indian boys that were
attending the academy, and sue
cceded, with the help of the Chip
| pcwa delegation, in getting an ap-
propria,ion so that he and his COM
panions could continue their stud
les at the school.

Cannot Keep Hands Off

Ex-Supt. Howard who unfortu-
nately for this reservation, was
recommended by Supt. Hinton to
appraise the lands of the reserva-
ton that were sold by Indians who
claimed at that time to be mixed
bloods and made affdavits to that
effect, cannot keep his hands OFT OF
the internal affairs of the Chippe-
was, and continues to keep up strife
and turmoil here by his activity in
Chippewa matters. There is a we'll
based suspicion that he had much
to do with causing a delegation of
the warehouses; at Pine Point to
90 to Bemidji as contesting dele
CATION against the regularly elect
ed delegates from here. 1t is also
known that Mr.. Nygren took an
active part in suddenly getting a
contestlng delegation to the coun-
Gil. Mr.. Nygren is the principal
of the Pine Point Indian school,
and it ill became him to take con-
testing delegation from Pine Point
to Bemidji upon a telephone mes
SAGE from here. and instruct and
push them to the side with which
they should vote, in view of the
instructions of the interior depart
ment against any employe taking
sides with any faction.
TO what extent Supt. Hinton
favored one faction, the faction
with which his sympathies were
we'll known to be before he was
/ APPOINTED as superintendent here,
we arc unable to sta tie, but we have
seen copy of his letter to the
Indian. Office at Washington In
which he reported that no council
was called, or took place here,
when the regularly elected dele
gates we're elected to attend the
Bemidji council. Mr.. Hinton did
not call upon the officers of the
local council of this reservation to
get their side Of the story regard
ing the meeting of a council, but
evidently accepted only the state
ments of the opposition upon which
he based his report to the Indian
office.
THE ToMAHAwK has no incli-
nation to criticise Mr.. Hinton un-
Justly, but he might as we'll know
sooner or later that the publisher
\ shall insist upon fair play even
from him.
The faction upon this reservation
AGAINST which Burch Daniels and
other officials have been opposed
to for several years, do not expect
Mr., Hinton to discriminate in favor
of their contentious, or even to
not show some inclination in favor
of the faction with which he has
been affiliated, but the opposite
faction, which is the aJorIty
of this reservation by far,
hope that he will not give it te
them under the fifth rib in matters
of disputes that arise.
The progressive faction OF this
reservation, the faction which l;
responsible for the rapid progress
the Chippewas of this state have
been making during the past three

ball player and a golfer and therefore IS familiar with conditions in both sports His idea is that the home club could have a batting cage surrounded by net ting in which the swattist could stand and look over a few pitches handed up by one of the spare tWirlers. The cage would not require much space, proba- bly, a width of thirty feet and a length of seventy, just little over the regu- lation pitching distance. The twirler would of course have to be fairly agile in lodging the line drives slammed back at him, but the collegians manage to get in some good indoor practice un- der these conditions, and fatalities are few.
 Even half dozen pitched balls would be a help to the man who had been nominated for relief duty. The mana ger would have ample warning that some pinch hitting was going to be necessary and could send out several swattists to get ready as soon as he realized that his regular personnel would not be equal to the task of get ting the necessary number of runs.
 Could Stimulate Adversary.
 The pitcher to hand them up for practice could be selected for his abil- ity to throw somewhat the same sort of ball as the man doing duty for the enemy. Thus, if a splitter were on the mound, the pinch hitter would get chance to look over some moist ones. If a curver happened to be the man whom the psychologist would face he could inspect nothing but curves.
 In some parks it would be imprac- ticable to use the suggested batting cage because of lack of space but in most of the yards a place could be found for it. In any event, 1t is a cinch that the pinch hitter would be better off looking over some pitching than sit ting on the bench peeking out at sun bathed diamond.

First Ball Hitting Cost B0die His Job

DING EDDIE, turned back by the
 Chicago White Sox after ,foul years hard trying, complains that he failed to hit heavily in the American league because Callahan made him stop hitting the first ball. 'T was always a first ball hitter" says Ping. "and I al- ways thought I had the advantage be- cause the pitcher would send up the first one mighty careful in attempting to make sure of the range and the groove. Callahan made me stop hit ting the first one, and that gave the pitchers the percentage on me, besides breaking up my natural style"
 Pings complaint has elicited yelps of derision all round the land, with caus- tic continents to the effect that only boneheads and slow thinkers make a practice of hitting at the first ball. And why so? If man has developed a batting style of his own and has made his attack effective by cracking the first one, why try to make him change? Furthermore, what possible disadvan- tage is there if a keen eyed hitter makes habit Of stinging the first hurl? There aren't many pitchers nowadays in the |
