BIG INDIAN FLEET SEEN
COl0rful FlOtilla Passes Up Biscayne
Bay and Camps on Belle Isle

Miami June 19.-People along the
waterfront yesterday afternoon saw
unique flotilla of ten canoes glide past
in single file, with a silent, Seminole
welding paddle in the storm Of
each. In almost every canoe was a
dog, standing erect in the prov and
gazing intently ahead, and this added
the touch necessary to complete the
setting.
Each brave was dressed in his
gaudiest attire, which consisted of a
shirt and loose-hanging shirt fash
toned from cloth of many colors. The
canoes were loaded to within an inch
| Of the waters edge, but so deftly did
the Indians handle the paddles and
POLES that they made remarkable
Roadway, going with the tide.
They came from up the Miami riv-
er many miles, they said, and were
bound for Fort Lauderdale and up
the canal to the 'Glades where they
will hunt alligators for their bides.
All assembled at the east end of Col
Inns bridge on Belle Isle for a rest
end dinner, waiting for the tide to
fall and then rise again. They cooked
scanty dinner and lay at east on
the grass near the bridge mooring
their canoes to the bank and taking
out most of their provisions.
Passers-by stopped to see the un-
usual sight of ten canoes hollowed
from trees in Indian fashion, moored
to the bank and the ten braves lying
On the grass. The turquoise water a.
high tide added to the colorful scene.
The dogs were mongrels and unusual
ly intelligent. They seemed devot-
ed to their masters. When asked
when they would reach Fort Lauder
dale, the spokesman for the party
stated it would be tomorrow night,
which means two days and a night Of
padding and polling on their part.
It was a big hunting party of In
dams for this day and age, accord
ing to old inhabitants.

Outstanding incidents Of the cross
ing of the Atlantic ocean, Of course.
began with the famous voyage of Co"
lumbus, which took seventy days to
make the trip from enGoa to San Do
mingo.
He marked out the path, showed
that the ocean could be sailed to 9th
err shores, and thousands followed
him.
The next event was the crossing Of
the Savannah under steam, for a
large part of the way, in 1918, the
first steamship to essay the voyage.
Then came the speeding up CT such
vessels as ordinarily made the trip
between the American and European
continents. An American packet,
sailing vessel, made the trip from
Liverpool to New York in twenty
one days, and that was regarded as
about the fastest time that would ever
be made crossing the ocean.
A few years ago the Mauritania cut
that down to four days, thirteen hours
and forty-one minutes, the record for
steamships.
Then came the airships, when the
American NC-4, a few days ago
crossed by way of the Azores In
thirty-two hours, sailing time. And
then this last feat of Saturday, when
Alcock and Brown few from st.
| Johns, N. B., to Cluden, Ireland, in
sixteen hours and twelve minutes.
That will stand for the record for a
time, at least.
But now that the active mind of
man has awakened to the possibill-
ties of using airships, this is not the
end by any means. other long trips
will be taken, notably the one now
contemplated of a flight from New
York to San Francisco. Then will
come the conquest Of the Pacific and
other long and interesting flights.
Meanwhile, the machines will be i'm
uroyed until it swell within the pos
abilities that the present generation
will see mail and passenger and ex-
press airplanes flying all over this
land and across the oceans, as we
now observe railroad trains and
steamships.
Some one will want to follow the
equator, in a trial, nonstop trip and
who can say that it will not be done
within a very short time? If the rate
at which the last Atlantic fight was
made could be maintained it would
require eleven days and twenty hours
to encircle the globe over the line Of

 American Commission
 TOInveSfigate Pogr0lns

Paris, June 2-Ignace Jan Fade rewski, the Polish Premier, made ic known yesterday that he had decided to ask President Wilson to name a commission of Americans to go to Po- land and investigate the charges re- sarding tSe treatment of the Jewish population there.
 The Premier's intention was reveal ed In the making public of letter which he has written to Herbert c. Hoover, head of the Allied Food Re lief Commission.
 Poland Is absolutely cut off from the world by enemy territory, so the world knows little of Eastern Europe or its current events except rumors affected by enemy co1oring. I can un- hesitatingly state that the events as represented in the New York meet ing have not occurred. There are in Poland ministers of great govern ments American, British and French. Have any of them ever re- ported such events to their govern ments, or have they ever asked a sin gle question regarding them of the Polish government officials who see them daily? Not to my knowledge.

land has given the Jew every liberty Of the Gentle. All today sit in the Congress together; all are devoted to the solution of the problems and meeting the dangers imperiling the new republic.
 You, yourself, know that in the gigantic problem of feeding 23,000. 600 people, 13 or IA per cent. of whom are Jews, the latter had equal considera- ton with the other elements of the population.
 ''The misery of the Jews in the old Russian Empire has created in them especially that fertile field from which Bolshevism has sprung. It is a mel ancholy fact that samong the leaders and the intelligence of that destruc- tive movement are today many chosen from these oppressed Russian Jews. It is the penalty Eastern Europe is paying for the mistreatment of Jews in Russia in the past
 Poland today is the outpost in the defense of Europe and the world from the Bolshevist armies and their un- speakable wickedness and barbarity. Our sons are dying at this very hour to hold this thin barrier, now hun dreds of miles long. In this fighting are Jews, Poles. Russians. Lithua- nians white Riuthenians, and Ukrain- ians have suffered terribly, but the fact of Jews being killed in the ranks of the Red army does not justify charges of Jewish persecution

INSURANCE WAS
 NOT ENOUGH
Ellent Whitnore Wanted More of Estate So She
 Took It.

Believing that she was entitled to great wealth left by the death of her brother, Sam Lewis, who dropped dead in a barber chair at the Union club on Drouve street, last week, FL len Whitmore, age 33, colored, hur- ried from Anson, N. C., and arrived in Bridgeport yesterday.
 It is true that Lewis left his sister an insurance policy for S1,0o0, but this did not satisfy the North Caro- Enian, and she proceeded to appro- priate all other earthly possessions of the deceased with no consideration for the rights of Sam's widow, Sarah Lewis The sister went through Sam's trunk and found a pawn ticket covering a $500 diamond. She i'm mediately went to the pawn shop and secured the ring. She then hurried to the station with her legacy where she was about to begin her journey back to the sunny South when Sarah appeared with squad of policemen and arrested her.
 Ellen was arrested at 10 o'clock this morning and unless someone comes to her rescue she will remain In Jail awaiting trial for theft un- der, bonds of $500.

ARNOLD'S WIDOW
 SUES CONN. co.
Claims Damages of $25,00 For Fall From
 Trolley.

Suit for S25,00O was institute against the Connecticut comp pany this morning by Sarah A. Arnold of 976 Iranistan avenue Mrs. Arnold who is the widow of George H. Arnold, for many years head of the detective branch of the local police depart ment, alleges that owing to a fall sustained as the result of the negli- gence of an employe of the trolley company she has been put to much inconvenience and expense and suf- fered permanent disabilities.
 Last September she was riding on a Stratfield car proceeding southerly along Park avenue. Reaching the corner of Park and Fairfield avenues where she wished to alight she all but reached the ground when the motorman started ahead. She was thrown violently to the ground injur- ing her hip, groin. knee and foot. Her hurts were so severe she had to call a motor to take her to her home.
 Within two days time the com- claim agent appeared accom- panied by a. physician. The doctor made a superficial examination and stated that her knee and foot were slightly injured. At the time Mrs. asserts she was suffering much pain and hardly cognizant of what was being done.
 She was offered $10O as compen- sation which she accepted not realiz- ing the extent of her injuries. She now asks to have that arrangement set aside and states that the sum of s25.OOO is merely adequate compen- sation. Suit is returnable to the June term of the Superior court.

'Palatinate committee, June 1, 1919."
 Another passage shows the move ment not to be separative. but anti Prussian. It says:
 Violence from whatever side must disappear. The Rhenish people honestly and sincerely wishes peace based on a reconciliation of all peo- pIes. That is why it separates itself from the institutions which are the basis of so many wars: Feudalism and militarism. It, thereby eliminates an obstacle standing in the way of a genuine peace"
 M. Barres says that Dr. Borden, the president of the new republic, is the soul of the movement. He is from Bonn and before the war was a mag istrate. During the war he was a German officer.
 He is one of those idealist Rhine flanders who have never been recon ciled to the subjection of the left bank of the Rhine to brutal exploi- tation by Prussia NJ. Barres writes. We are in the presence of the reap pearance of the old Germany with which our fathers were able to enter into agreements and sometimes to en- certain friendship.
