youths were expected to learn Eng

According to many authorities the
period from 81 to "a saw the passing
of the last of the buffalo from this
region and with them the principal
food dependence of the Indians. The
Indian department was not at that
time prepared to issue full rations to
its charges in this section, and, as a
result. the winter of 1916 and sever
a. succeeding winters were the hard
est these Indians ever knew. Hunger
was an every day visitor to many of
them and starvation was not a stran-
ger in the village .
Naturally food was the best bait
to insure attendance by children not
too keen about the task of learning
the mysteries of the white brothers
books. At the morning recess, some
of the big Indian girls would be sent
to the agency commissary for meat

and other food, and between Their
and noon it was cooked. When the
hot wholesome meal was served, none
stayed away to play-there was a
full table. But no suppers were
served and strange to relate, the af-
ternoon attendance was very poor
compared to the mornings.
Wood was the only fuel, no ac-
count being taken of the native lig-
mite coal that was, of course, just as
abundant then as now. In the Win
ter time a crew of about a dozen In
dian bucks was employed to secure
a supply of suitable wood for the a.
gency and the school, which was
maintained by the department. Ev-
cry morning a large number of APP
plicants for places on the days crew
would line up in front of the Office
early in the morning. Sometimes
there were fights for places in what
was really a bread line, because the
fifty cents per day paid was sorely
needed to buy food.
The scarcity of food caused the
Indians to sell all their buffalo skins
of which they had formerly made the
tepees in which they lived. Log cab
ms succeeded the tepees and proved
devices of death for unfortunates
who lived in them, or, in many cases
died in them. They knew nothing of
ventilation and would not learn. The
little houses were sealed tight by
thinking the cracks between the logs

The SCORES OF FOUR
MORE BILLIARD GAMES

The arrangement of games IN the
billiard tournament had to be chang
ed from the schedule announced last
week on account of engineer not be-
ing able to be home Saturday night
when a three handed game was to-
have been played by Weldy, Champ
lin and Pouder. A new schedule was
made by which each of the three
played the other two. Champlin and
Pouder played a 200 point game Sat
urday evening, Champlin winning
200 to 142. Sunday afternoon Weldy
and Champlin played, Weldy win
ming 100 to, 96. Then Pouder and
Weldy played, Pouder winning 100
to rs. This left matters right where
they started-a tie among the three.
Sunday evening a thr~ee-handed game
resulted: Pouder 200, Weldy 1885,,
Champlin 1876. There appears to be
some question as to whether the
tournament is considered finished or
not, so developments must be awaited
before the winners can be announ-
ced.

J. A. Hennessy Assails
New York Newspapers
Publication of Facts Relating to
Press Club Affairs Crit
icized at Meeting

John A. Hennessy, a publisher Of
Providence, r. l., made a bitter attack
uron the newspapers of this city at a
meeting of the New York Press Club
yesterday, because they had published
articles recounting the internal affairs
Of the club, which are now the subject
Of a proceeding before the Supreme
Court.
Hennessy was recently made chair
man of the board of trustees of the
club by the majority trustees after the
club had preferred charges of conduct
unbecoming member against him.
The meeting yesterday was heated
session throughout, and the vigorous
protests of the progressive element
against a nonresident member being
permitted to vote were overruled by
Edward Percy Howard, president of
the club, who presided. During the
meeting resolutions of confidence in
Mr.. Howard and the board of trustees
we're passed. A demand for roll call
vote was denied by Mr.. Howard, al
though rising vote was taken.
A constitutional amendment designed
to put in the power of the club the
right to fill vacancies in the board of
trustees, which should have been de-
cided at the meeting, was not put to
vote by Mr.. Howard. More than half
of the meeting was taken up by the
speech of Hennessy, who was repeatedly
interrupted with points of order.

Omitted we stand, divided we get the

The letter is said to be one of the
best pieces turned out in Greenwich
Village in some time. 1t said, among
other things, that in every great CAPT
tai of the world there is ar art center
similar to our own Greenwich Village.
in whose little colonies serious men
and women of common interests and
congenial ideas are drawn together by
the same natural instinct which draws
together the members of other depart
ments of human endeavor.
The village, the letter went on, has
become the home of men and women
whose achievements constitute, in n
large measure, the nations literary
and artistic culture. The village has
come to mean something vital and fine,
not only to New York but to the coun-
try at large.

that in an intellectual center like
Greenwich Village there should have
gathered a certain number of insin-
cere and undesirable imitators and
nangers-on. But the profession Of art
IS not the only one which suffers IN
this respect. In politics we find MANY
unscrupulous and dishonest men. The
legal profession has it's shysters, ard

just Recreation for Workers
The undesirables in Greenwich VIII
lage have made the place conspicuous
because Of their freakish clothes and
unconventional activities. according to
the letter. The real workers, on the
other hand, the epistle says, must have
recreation, and they find it in the tea
rooms and cafes Of the neighborhood.
The truth is, the Mayor is told, that
Greenwich. Village is gayer and more
Youthful than many other quarters of
the city.
Things were so gay and youthful in
the INT yesterday that Abe Schwartz,
the manager, was held by Magistrate
Schwab, in Essex Market Court, in bail
OF $500 for further hearing 1t is al
legged that Abe had failed to obtain
dance hall license for the INT.
Other places where unrestrained
youth and gayety attracted the atten-
ton of the police were the Mill and the
Black Hat. The proprietors of both
places were held on charges of having
violated the dance hall law.
Several jewellers from the Pirates
Den found their way into the traffic
court, where Magistrate House fined
them dollar each. One of the de-
PENDANTS said he had been in the place
six minutes, which was quite enough
for him.

Cuts His Throat
And Leaps Into
I'alnl< Atop Roof
No Reason known forSuicide
of Samuel C.. Fernbacher,
Rich Manufacturer, Miss
ing Since Early Sunday
Wrist Also Badly Slashed
Wife Asserts Dead Man Had
$500 ON Leaving Home;
Police Find Only 1887

A search for Samuel G. Fernbacher,
wealthy manufacturer Of IL West
Eighty-second Street, who had been
missing since Sunday, ended yesterday
when his body was found in a water
tank on the building at % Jones Street,
where he had his Offices.
Fernbacher was in the paper makers
supply business, and it was for the pur-
pose of inspecting some new books that
he left his home on Sunday morning,
according to his wife and Emil Pursch,
a brother-in- law. AS far as they knew
he had no financial troubles, his home
life was pleasant and they were at a
loss to account for his suicide. He
was fifty-seven years old.
Hat Clew to Discovery
When the manufacturer failed to re-
turn to his home all Sunday night Mrs.
Fernbacher notified the police on Mon
day morning. The entire office build
ing was searched that day, but no clew
was found, and it was not until yes
terday morning that searchers found
Fernbacher's straw hat under an open
skylight. This led them to the tank
and the body.
Firemen of Hook and Ladder No. s.,
in Charles Street, were summoned and
they were compelled to cut away a part
of the tank before they could remove
the body. 1t was found that the manu-
facturer's throat had been cut and
his wrist sIashed. The aperture of the
tank was so small that the police were
puzzled as to how Fernbacher could
have entered it.
Despite assurances by the manufac-
turer's wife that he had $1,000 and a
large diamond when he left his home,
a search of his clothing revealed $3s7
in cash, two checks--one for $40 and
one for $1SO-and the large ring.
Discrepancies in Suicide Story
While the police are convinced Fern
bacher ended his own life, some of the
facts connected with the case are hard
to reconcile. The discrepancy in the
amount of money found and that Mrs.
Fernbacher said her husband carried
is one, and the fact that the manufact-
urer was so badly wounded it would
have been difficult for him to have
climbed the ladder leading to the tank
is another.
1t is believed by the authorities that
the finding of blood stain outside his
office on Che second floor might be ac-
counted for by the fact that he first
slashed his wrist and then decided to
go to the edge of the tank before cut
ting his throat.
The Fernbacher home is an eleven
room suite in an exclusive apartment
house just off Central Park
