FAST RUN PICTURE REEL ROUTED FEARS
 IF INDIAN ACTORS

Chief Johnny Ground, interpreter of the Glacier National Park Indian tribe, has been cited for distinguished service in .sFlimland.' He has ban
 ished from the American Indian that
 superstitution which has always led the Red Man to believe the pale faces camera took the spirit away from his body when the white man
 snapped" the Indians picture. It all happened during the filming
 Glacier National ark lasPt fall Marshall Neilan and his corps Of l actors and directors had marshalled I cine Valley for the shooting" of the Hast Stand of Custer" which is the big climax to the play.
 The older Indians talked when the
 battery of motion picture cameras | was turned upon them. They broke 1 ranks. and, gathering in groups be- gan discussing something in an earn l est manner. Neilan scented omnibus
 trouble and called Chief Ground over to discuss the situation with them-
 Braves think those camera
 machines take their spirit away from them when white men take their pie 1 tures," Chief Ground explained.
 Players say they guess they won't
 act in the big battle.'

 Neilan in an irritated manner.
 Chief Ground spent couple of
 years at Carlisle and evidently had
 learned to meet and solve problems
 quickly as the efficient white man

Aged Pair Found Slain
On Connecticut Farm
Bullet Hole in Window Raises
Doubt on Theory of MUIR
der and Suicide

EAST HADDAM, Conn, Nov. 90
The body of John Zavoda, seventy years
old, was found on the floor in the
kitchen of his farmhouse here to-day
with bullet hole in the head. In the
front of the house the body of his wife,
sixtyhve years old, was found hanging
by rope from the staircase banister.
The body of Zavoda was seen through
a window by Mrs. Sarah Holmes, who
called at the house. She notified neigh
bors and Medical Examiner M. w.
Plumstead was summoned He was of
the opinion that it was case of muir
der and suicide or else double sui
eide. He reported to Coroner Davis,
in Middletown, however, that there
were peculiar circumstances connected
with the deaths. He said hole in one
of the windows appeared to have been
made by a bullet. A pool of blood
several feet away from the mans body
was not explained, and there was a
hole which had been burned through
the kitchen floor.
States Attorney Ernest A. Ingliss,
Middlesex County, said he would ask
the state police to investigate the
case.
Neighbors said Mr.. and Mrs. Zavoda
were about their place as usual yester-
day afternoon, but were not seen to-
day. Zavoda's body was found face
downward. Beneath the body was a
revolver with one chamber exploded.

Ledoux Clothes Unemployed
Veterans From Pulpit of
ST. Marks In-Bouwcrie
and Beratcs Hard-Heartcd
Charities Are Criticized
Rector Says Some Societies
Charge Poor for Things
Sent Them to Give Away

Urban Lcdoux, from the pulpit of
the church of st. Marks in-the -Bouw-
erie. yesterday afternoon alternated
between collecting overcoats for the
unemployed who filled the balconies
and berating the parishioners for their
callousncss toward those who were in
need OF aid
The first thing Mr.. Ledoux did after
a silent prayer was to call from the
old, soldier in the French and
Canadian armies and the posscssor of
the Croix de Guerre. Henri came and
took his place beside Ledoux who then
told how Henri had sold his Croix de
Gucrre for so cents with which to buy
food and how he had been without
shelter for ten days, Then he said;
"You who have put coat of the
best timber around the hero who was
buried at Arlington, which of you will
put coat on this man?"
There was a space of silence. A man
came forward and laid an ovcrcoat
about the shoulders Of Henri,
Ledoux then called on the unem-
ployed who filled the balconies to stand
up, those of them who had no over
coats. He counted their number.
There were forty lone. He turned again
to the people in the nave and asked
who would give coats. Twenty three
coats were pledged. Four were brought
up and laid on chair shortly after
that while Ledoux was calling the
congregation to task for the condition
in which the unemployed found them
selves and warning them that God
would make them pay.
DR.. William N. Guthrie, the rector,
prefaced the remarks of Mr.. Ledoux
rttbn ole
and said that there were in the city
certain charitable institutions which
we're not playing fair with the public.
He accused these organizations OF col
lecting funds for charitable purposes
and then of making the needy, who
came to them, pay for lodging and
food and even for old clothes which
had been donated to be given away.
Announcement was made yesterday
by Major f. r. Colby of the 7th Field
Artillery that he could offer jobs to
500 men, and that the only require
ments were that they be morally and
physically fit and really desirous of OBJ
tanning employment.
"If It is true" he said, chat there is
50 large a number of men in New York
City desiring work as has been report
ed, | can provide jobs for 500 of them.
These Jobs are in the 7th Field Artil
lery of the 1st Division of the United
States Army, stationed at Camp Dix.
This is an opportunity for men to en-
list and stay together"
Plans to relieve the unemployment
situation which may develop this win
ter are being formulated by the com
bined Protestant churches of New
York. The New York Federation of
Churches has appointed committee
of thirty-six clergymen and laymen to
study the conditions in this city, to get
first hand information and to interpret
these facts to the churches. 1t will CO.
operate with relief agencies, and if it
is thought necessary conferences and
mass meetings in behalf of the unem-
ployment will be called and an Gun
employment Sunday" will be desig
mated

successfully the strike is coming
along
A statement last night issued by I.
Elkln Nathans, secretary OF the Milk
Conference Board, read, in part, as fol-
lows:
"The unions have admitted that 200
of their members have gone back to
work under the open-shop plan of the
milk distributors. Preliminary sur
veys by the companies show that con-
siderably more than this number have
returned to their old posts, and that
more are coming in every day
"The figures do not show the real
condition of the strike, however, as
only small percentage of the old men
who make application for their former
positions are being taken back. Thus,
If the companies were willing to take
back all the former employees who
apply to them, the ranks of the
strikers would be so thinned that
there would be no doubt of what is
now practically a fact--that the un-
justified strike has been broken.
"The companies are taking back only
a portion of their old men who apply
because they want only men who have
had good records, and because they in
tend to keep at their posts the new
men who have made good since the
beginning of the crisis"

Bedtime Stories
Blacky Gets a Dreadful Shock
By Thornton w. Burgess
When friends prove false, 1ohom,
may zoe trust?
The springs of faith are turned to
dust.
By Thornton
-Blacky the Grow.

Blacky the Crow was in the top Of
his favorite tree over near the Big
River early that afternoon He
didn't know what was going to hap
pen, but he felt it in his bones that
something was, and he meant TO be
on hand to see. For long time he
sat there seeing nothing unusual. At
last he spied tiny figure far away
across the Green Meadows. Even at
that distance he knew who it was. 1t
was Farmer Browns boy, and he was
coming toward the Big River.
-" thought as much" chuckled
Blacky. "He is coming over here to
drive that hunter away
The tiny figure grew larger. It was
Farmer Browns boy beyond doubt
Suddenly Blacky's eyes opened so
wide that they looked as if they were
in danger of popping out of his head
He had discovered that Farmer
Browns boy was carving something
ard that that something was gun!
Yes, sir, Farmer Browns boy was
carrying terrible gun! If Blacky
could have rubbed his eyes he would
have done so, just to make sure that
there was nothing the matter with
them.
"a gun CTudkeQ DldCky. Fdrmer
Browns boy with a terrible gunl
What does it mean?"
Nearer came Farmer Browns boy
and Blacky could see that terrible
gun plainly now. Suddenly an idea
popped into his head. "Perhaps he is
going to shoot that hunter!" thought
Blacky, and somehow he felt better
Farmer Browns boy reached the
Big River at point some distance
below the blind built by the hunter.
He laid his gun down on the bank and
went down to the edge of the water.
The rushes grew very thick there.
and for a while Farmer Browns boy
was very busy among them. Blacky
from his high perch could watch him,
and as he watched he grew more and
more puzzled. 1t looked very much
as if Farmer Browns boy was build
ing blind much like that of the
hunters. At last he carried an old
log down there, got his gun and sat
down just as the hunter had done in
his blind the afternoon before. He
was quite hidden there excepting
from place high up like Blacky's
perch.
I'll do believe he is going to
try to shoot those Ducks himself!"
gasped Blacky. II wouldn't have be-

cant believe it now. Farmer
Browns boy hunting with terrible
gun! Yet I've got to believe my own
eyes
A noise up the river caught his at
tention. 1t was the noise of oars in
boat. There was the hunter rowing
down the Big River. Just as he had
done the day before, he came ashore
above his blind and walked down
to it.
"This is no place for me-" NUT
tered Blacky. He'll remember that
scared those Ducks yesterday and, as
likely as not, he'll try to shoot me-"
Blacky spread his black wings and
hurredy left the tree top. heading
for another further back on the Green
Meadows, where he would be safe but
from which he could not see as we'll.
warned him that it was high time for
him to be getting back to the Green
Forest.
He had to hurry, for it was later
than usual and he was afraid to be
out after dark. Just as he reached
the Green Forest he heard a faint
Bang, bang!" from over by the Big
River and he knew that it came from
the place where Farmer Browns boy
was hiding in the rushes.

1t was such dreadful shock to
!Blacky that it was a long time before
he could go to sleep

Sailor Saves His Fiancee
On Eve of Deportation
Arrives at Ellis Island and
Promises to Take Care of
Her and Her Niece

A romance begun several months ago,
when the United States battleship Kan
sas was on training cruise in Scandi-
navian waters, seemed about to come to
a tragic end yesterday when immigra-
tion authorities recommended the de-
portation of Miss Minda Schor, re-
cent arrival, who explained that she
had come to this country to marry an
American sailor.
Accompanying Miss Schor was a
pretty four-year-old girl. 1t was over
this child that the complications with
immigration inspectors began. Even
after Miss Schor had explained that
Berthilda was her sisters child and
that her sister was dead and there was
no person other than herself to look
after the little girl the authorities
still hesitated.
Just at this point Peter Keholm, 81
seaman of the Kansas and Miss Schor's
fance, arrived at the immigration sta
ton. He announced at once that he
would take care of the child, and the
little girl and her aunt were allowed
to land. Because Keholm had to re.
turn at once to his ship, in Philadel-
phia, the wedding was postponed until
