INDIANS DEMAND
WAMPUM DUE THEM
They Have Claim Against State of
New York Under Contract Made
in 1896.

Montreal, June 3O-Chief P. j.
Delisle, Indian mayor Of Caughna-
waga, announced tonight that he
would start soon for Albany, N. Y,
to demand from Governor Smith 85
past due annual payments on land in
northern New York, purchased on the
perpetual installment plan by the
state in 1896 from Indian tribes styl-
ing themselves Seven Nations of
Canada
Chief Delisle declared that he had
In his possession the original treaty
of sale signed in New York city in
1895 and providing for a lump pay
ment of 1888 pounds, shillings, s
pence sterling, and annual payments
thereafter in perpetuity OF 213 pounds
shillings, s pence.
The lump payment was made and
the annual payments were met regu-
larly until 1884, Chief Delisle says,
when payments ceased.
The cause for the cessation is
shrouded in mystery so far as Indian
records here are concerned, but Chief
Delisle figures that the amount 213
pounds, 6 shillings, s pence for the
lapse of S5 years, should amount to
$90,S80 in American "Wampum' by
this time.
The chief exhibited copy of the
treaty" which stipulated that "the
people of New York shall not be held
to pay the said sum unless in respect
to the sum to be paid on the third
day of August, 1896, at least twenty,
and in respect to the. said yearly sum
to be paid thereafter, at least five of
the principal men of the seven ma
tions or tribes TO receive and give re-
ceipt for same"
Chief Delisel said he would take
four other principal men" of the
tribes of the seven nations with him
to receipt for and help carry the
American ''wampum' back to Canada.

G. A. GOULD oUSTED
Court Finds Abuse of Trust in
Administration.


New York, July 1.--George J. Gould
was removed yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Whitaker as chef exc
cutor and trustee under the will of
his father, Jay Gould, on the ground
that he failed to administer the estate
properly. The court upheld three of
eleven specifications against him, and
found that he had failed to justify the
confidence OF his father when he
named him practically the head of
the $S0,000,000 property, comprising
the estate at the time the will was
probated in 1898
Justice Whitaker's decision against
George ]. Gould was made in the pro
ceedings filed by his brother Howard
and sister Anna, the Duchess de Tai
leyrand, for his removal, because of
the acts which the court has found
require his dismissal The applica-
tion for Mr.. Gould's removal was
made in the accounting petition filed
in 1916, by the Gould trustees, com
prising George Edwin, and Howard
Gould and Mrs. Helen Gould Shep-
ard, which was the first accounting
made since they took charge OF the
estate, in 1888

]. BARLEY Y-CORN
FALLS VICTIM To
PROHIBITION
Last Night of Sale of Legalized
Booze Was Quiet
MANY QUARTS PURCHASED
Wholesale Houses DO Enormous
Business as Customers Stock
Up for Dry Season

John Barleycorn passed away Mon
day in much more peaceful manner
than had been generally anticipated.
Ii had been the common opinion that
the evening and night would be one
grand finale of revelry, but those
looking for such excitement were dis
appointed. In few isolated cases,
there were scenes of unusual hilarity
but for the most part, prohibition was
ushered in with due solemnity and
the sale of legalized liquor passed in
to history without a struggle.
The last few days before the drouth
were not marked so much by runs on
the bars as they were by runs on
places where it was possible to buy
a supply for the cupboard For the
past two years it has been Illegal to
purchase liquor by the quart in Ben
nington and thd local disciples of
Rock & Rye were forced mostisr 20
journey to neighboring states in
order to procure supply.
III Troy and Albany Monday even
ing, there was a long line in waiting
in front of every wholesale house in
the city. line which was not COM
posed entirely of men by any means.
Nearly everyone on the street had
something under his arm which he
guarded jeaiously as the last relief
before a long dry season.
There was but little talk of opening
up this morning. Hotel keepers and
barkeepers were resigned to their fate
and had not the slightest intention
of trying to evade or disregard the new
law. They were agreed however, that
prohibition would not last long and
expected developments to materialize
within few days which would per-
nit them to continue the sale of intoxi-
cants, at least light wines and beer.
None of the local dealers opened
up this morning and in at least two
places, there has been crepe hanged
in the door, but there are few mourners
in evidence There are many wild
rumors in circulation as to just what
will happen now that the law has gone
into effect, but, Judging from the
promptness with which liquor dealers
all over the country complied with
the law at midnight Monday night. it
is safe TO say that the first big step
toward national prohibition has been
effectively and peacefully taken.

read by Clerk M. B. Morgan. The
printed report was accepted and
a tax Of $1.35 was voted as recon-
