THE REFERENDUM

All of this hue and cry over the
u referendum by Republican papers, pie
hunters and self-asserting reformers,
who would recklessly supplant all
former business methods of the
States several departments with the
consolidation measures enacted at the
regular session of the Legislature, is
the clanfor of either intolerant parti-
-sanisn, hunger for the loaves and
fishes to be distributed by the execu-
tive, or contemptuous disregard for
any rights which existing laws secure
to the minority.

precedented majority. palpable result

not too much to anticipate that the
reulting unemployment among the
girls may precipitate social evils of
the darkest kind
Our relief officers have become
intolerable. I believe almost daily
bitter and heartbreaking letters from
our representatives in Liberals, SAT-
fed and Hebren, describing the scenes
in their offices when they have to give
the reduced amounts, and imploring
US to make every effort to increase
these amounts, since the redcution
means nothing short of lingering
death from want for so many of the
decinients. The individual poor, the
permanent invalids, the aubercular,
the cripples, the convalescent, the I'M
employed, the individual aged, who
have no one to whom they can appeal
and who have been kept alive by our
relief funds, are already, in pitiable
condition; and they will, during the
coming months, sink into a condition
which beggars description.
81 do not know how l shall be able
to continue to bear this responsibility
of taking away from the poor their
last support. am keeping up the
work, because / am still in hopes that
the Jews Of America will not allow
their relief work to come to an end
in June. The results would be too
cruel. We're ] to believe that the

cruel work Of condemning the poor to

JEWISH CONGRESS COMMITTEE
TO CALL CONFERENCE FOR
MARCH 20

New York: (Jewish News Service).
At meeting held at the Pennsylvania
Hotel today, the Jewish Congress
committee, decided to call confer
ence for March goth next, to pass
upon the date Of the next session of
the American Congress. Some de-
manded an immediate call of the
Congress, but the latter resolution
was adopted.
The meeting was poorly attended.
Abraham Shomer attacked the COM
mittee and charged it with betrayal
Of the cause of Congress. Morris
Rothenberg, chairman Of the Execu-
tive committee, delivered a report on
the committees activities which in
cluded intercession with the Polish
Minister in Washington asking for
action in the cas- eof Ukranian ref
ugees in Poland. The committee also
succeeded in getting the Mcmillan
Company publish a book "The Myth
Jewish Menace" to counteract the
anti-Semitic agitation now abroad in
America.

INTERPRETATION IN REICH.
STAG CONCERNING PERSE.
CUTION OF EASTERN JEWS

Berlin: (Jewish News Service).-
An Interpolation concerning offici-
al persecution Of Eastern Jews in
Germany, was introduced in the Reich
stag by the Jewish female deputy,
Fraulein Wurm, a Socialist.
II is said in the Interpolation that
the government had issued a decree
forbi6ding Eastern Jews to obtain en-
ployment in manufacturing establish
ments and coal mines and that per-
secutions of Jewish emigrants who
are compelled to pass Germany are
very frequent.
Minister Koch replied to the inter-
pellation that foreign Jews must be
treated on the same level on which
all foreigners are treated, and that
the government could not permit the
employment of foreigners in the mines
at time when many Germans re-
main unemployed.

LONESOME CHARLEY" REY-
NOLDS, CLUSTERS SCOUT

Many noted scouts served with Cen
paigns, but his favorite of them all
was Charles Reynolds, known as
Lonesome Charley" In the early
seventies, Reynolds was hunter for
the garrison at Fort Rice, N. D. He
was a quiet little man who lived
much to himself and preferred to
hunt alone, no matter how many hos
tile Indians were near. Because Of
his disregard for human companion
ship, he became known by everyone
as Lonesome Charley"
Reynolds first served under Custer
In the exploration of the Yellowstone
country in 1873. During his expedi-
ton two inoffensive civilians with
Clusters command were murdered by
the Indians. The next year, while
Reynolds was attending a sun dance
of the Sioux near Fort A. Lincoln,
n. d., he heard a young chief named
Rain-in-the-Face boast Of the murder
of the two men. Charley reported this
to Custer and Northumberland was
arrested and imprisoned. Later he
escaped and sent back his now-famOus
vow Of vengeance Of the whole Custer
family.

When Custer started on his last
campaign against the Sioux in 1876,
Reynolds was offered the position of
chief guide.
When the Seventh cavalry left the
steamer Far West, Reynolds was ILL.,
Capt. Grant Marsh of the Far West
tried to persuade him not to go with
the expedition since he was in no
condition to do any fighting. Reynolds
refused.
I've been waiting and getting
ready for this expedition for two
years, captain, and I'd rather be dead
than miss it," he said earnestly. So
he rode away to his death.

to attack the Sioux on the Little Big
Horn, the scout was sent with Major

CUsTER's CROW SCOUTS

There were six Of them, these war
riOrS of the Crow or Absaroke nation,
who rode with Custer on his last
march down the Little Big Horn river
in Montana that day in June, 1876
When the leader of the Seventh Caval.
ry asked General Terry for his best
Crow scouts in the camp on the Little
Rosebud creek, Terry told him he
could have Curley, "White Man Runs
Him." Hairy Moccasin, Goes Ahead,
Yellow Face and White Swan. The
Crows were glad to serve with the
famous Indian fighter and they guided
him until they located the hostile camp
on the Little Big Horn.
When Custer divided his command
to attack the village, Yellow Face and
White Swan were sent with Major
Reno and Custer kept "Whlte Man
Runs Him." Curly, "Goes Ahead" and
Hairy Moccasin with him. Yellow
Face was killed while fighting with
Reno, and White Swan was badly
wounded, but finally recovered and

and said to them: "You have done
your duty. You have led me to the

your lives" The scouts left him and
made their way to the pack train I'M

When Curley returned from Reno's
position, he was given the same or

self In the midst of . hot fight. Find
ing dead Sioux warrior, he took his
horse, gun and blanket. Wrapping
the blanket about his head to conceal
his Crow scalplock from the Sioux,
Curley succeeded in reaching u high
butte. Looking back he saw that
Custer had charged down upon the
Indians and was surrounded. Curley
says that he watched the battle until
he saw Custer, who was the last man
standing, fall and then he rode away.
The next morning the Crow scout
, appeared in General Terry's camp.
He could not speak English and there
was no interpreter. Curley took
blades of grass, piled them all in a
heap, and then, eXclaiming "Pouf !
Pouf!" in imitation of the sound OF
n gun, scattered them wide apart. BY
means Of this he made the officer un.

men had been killed. Like the IA.
