The dance represents the hunt
and the chase for winter food, the
buffalo, deer and antelope which
provided for the cold months from
the beginning of the Indians his
tory up until very recently. There
are three companies of dancers,
each company being made up of
members of a different clan of the
pueblo. The ceremony begins at y
o'clock in the morning and lasts
until almost sundown, the com
panies alternating. dancing first in
the great central plaza of the
Pueblo and then ih the side streets.
Indian Harmony.
There were only four white faces
to see Sundays spectacle. AS the
plaza was neared, the boom-boom
of the drums could be heard,
sounding with an insistent rever-
beration which was almost mad
dening. The day was clear ana
sparkling, the snowy Sandals tow
ering to the southeast and the
Santa Fe mountains to the north
east, while the Rio Grande. run
ming clear and blue at this time o.
year, added to the beauty Of the
surrounding landscape.
The pueblo was swept as clean
as possible. Not vestige of any
sort of debris could be seen, and
evergreen trees were thrust into
the ground along the line of walk.
At the north end Nof the plaza the
chorus was grouped. some thirty
singers, old men, youths and<1ittle
boys, the clear soprano of the lat
ter rising like women's voices
above the tenor and bass of the
men.
The singing far surpassed any
thing Of the sort that the visitors
had ever heard, and except for
almost incessant repetition of the
same strains, sounded like that OF
a we'll trained church choir, sing
ing in perfect harmony.
They were remarkable for their
absolute absorption, and the
spirit put into the singing. Their
faces were horrible and amazing
to behold. A number were painted
black with white rings on their
cheeks and around their eyes.

Those who have discussed the
question with him intimately, be-
lieve that appointments under very
lserious consideration include the
following:
Charles T.. Hughes. of New York,
ecgetary of state.
Charles G. Dawes. of Illinois, Sec
retary of the treasury.
John w. Weeks, of Massachu-
Sets, secretary Of the navy.

master general, or secretary of the
interior.
Henry Wallace, of Iowa, secreta-
ry of agriculture.
Herbert Hoover, of California,
secretary of labor.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, attorney
general.
How many OF these actually will

Others were of livid greenish yell
low with red bands across the up
per part of their faces. They were
dressed in the customary pueblo
fashion with their best blankets
around them. There were eight
drummers, and the brilliantly
painted tom toms with conven-
tional decorations, added vastly to
the color scheme.
Magnificent Costumes.
Before the chorus were grouped
the dancers. There were four

was impossible to take in all the
infinitude Of detail Of the different
costumes nor of the actions OF the
dancers.
Only one woman danced and she
represented tie female buffalo,
with small horns, flowing glossy
hair, and a most striking and stun
nigly beautiful design on her buck
skin dress. She drew the buffalos
after her into the trap where the
hunters waited to catch their Kill.
The hunters carried bows and ar
! rows which they used most effect

ments OF the dance. All the dancers
wore buckskin moccasins with soft
crushed foot tops trimmed with
black and white skunk fur The
predominating colors of the whole
dance were turquoise blue. green
and orange. with a touch OF red.
Beyond this group of dancers
were the "dcer" and antelope,
who leaped about in the forest,
presumably concealing themselves
behind trees, represented by short
saplings held in the hands, upon
which they leaned. They wore elk
heads and antlers and their bodies
were clad in buckskins. belled and
beaded, with marvellous blanket
skirts which were evidently very
old, and brilliant feather cockades
and fan tails. the latter seeming to
be purely q matter OF decoration:

celebrated in the house tomorrow,
with Champ Clark, himself vete-

Cannon also will speak and many

Walking about corridors of the
capitol today chewing his long
black cigar, Mr.. Cannon told a
friend there was no use offering
advice to younger representatives
because somebody else was always
thinking up smart things and at
trIbuting them to him. The re-
mark, charged to Mr.. Cannon, that
they put spurs on the heels of army
officers to keep their feet from
slipping off the desk, was never
uttered by him.
But what's the use?" he asked.

force was not a recognized military
organization. and that II 1t had
been a recognized organization, the
raid would have caused immediate
war between the United States and

This is the point which Governor

emphasis In his pardons. He held
that the Villista forces were regu-
larly organized; that a state of war
existed, and that the men should
have been treated merely as prison-
ers of war and not as private citf-
zens. The governor will probably

today on Frank G. Rowland, pres

pleaded guilty to embezzlement of

thefts at $25,0S0, but when How

eating $15,4S0.
Rowland suffered a partial col

the institution, which was closed
as result of his thefts five weeks
ago.
