OMAHA INDIANS HOLD
LAST TRIBAL POWWOW
Will Never Again Gather in
Tents; Like White Mans
Ways Best.

Omaha Indian Reservation. Neb.,
Sept. 2l.-The Omaha Indians have
just held their last tribal pow-wow.
A modern school house is to be built
ON the ground where the Omahas have
held their tribal meetihgs since before
the Lewis and Clark expedition, The
school building is to cost $4,000, and
the children and II andchildren of the
braves and squaws who used TO meet
there every year for their dances and
tribal ceremonies will hereafter gather

tribe.
Never again will the omahas gather
at Sorchcsee for meeting of any
Kind. The two weeks pow-wow which
has just closed is the last.
The new school building will look
down on the first regular house TO be
built on the reservation--which is still
standing. II is little and old and
shabby, but it marks the line between
the old-time Indian and the new. 1t
was built by Louis Sonchesee, an
Omaha half-breed Indian in whose
veins was some of the very "bluest7
blood of France. French scholars
might have trouble tracing son
ohesee" back to Sans Souci, but that
was the family name of the Ere nch-
man who degenerited into squaw-
man and left his descendants red
Indians instead of peers of France.
ThJ old order is passing rapidly
among the Omahas. For years II
seemed to be impregnable and to
stand against the encroachment of
the whites as Greek phalanx. But

And suddenly the tribe has found
itself so civilized that 1t has no more
use for tribal ceremonial ground.
The two weeks pow-wow which

Indian ponies loped over the prairies
and the bluffs, but they were saddled

The riders did not wear the buffalo
robes. nor even a blanket tied about
their waist with a buckslSin rope.
They wore leather shoes instead of

SCHWAB ABSOLVED
BY COMMITTEE
Say They Are Satisfied of Untruth of
Charge That He Received
ANY Money.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-With the
approval of Chairman Walsh, members of
the house committee investigating the
shipping board declared in statement
yesterday that they were satisfied after
hearing all the evidence and examining
the documents that the charge that
Charles Nj. Schwab received money from
the government for his personal expenses
while serving as war time director of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, was not
proven and further that 1T was not true"
The statement was issued by Represen-
tative Steele, Democrat, PENNSYLVANIA,
after discussion with the other members
who heard the testimony in New York
and Washington relative to the $500, 900
voucher. Its issuance in advance of the
full report of the committee on the results
of its investigation was unusual but MEM
bers explained that it had been decided
to break away from long established rules
on the grounds of fairness to one unJustiy
accused.
When the final report of the whole in
quiry is submitted to congress 1t was said
the committee would reiterate in more
formal form its belief that the charge was
without justification.
Mr.. Steeles statement was issued after
| it had been read by Chairman Walsh, who
| announced that he had no objection what
| ever to its publication. 1t was explained
! by Mr.. Steele that there might have been
| some improperly in an utterance of this
kind from the chairman of an Investigate
| ing committee in. advance of an official
| finding but that there was urgent demand
! for an expression at this time in view of
| Mr.. Schwab's public service.
