The Bureau and
The Indian.

The machinery workings of the
Indian Bureau and the welfare of
the Indians are distinctly two
different things. The Indian Bu-
reau is to work the Indians and
Indians do not want to be worked
by that institution. The great
majority of the Indian race have
no more use for and Indian Bu-
reau than Commissioner Burke,
Secretary Work or the President
of the United States has for one.
The Indian Bureau is not working
for the best interests of the In
dams. The Bureau is kept up for
the interests of those who are
making their living by virtue of
the existence Of the Indian Office.
Medically, the Indian Bureau has
caused condition that we call
atrophic state of the body, which
is caused by a want Of use and q
chance to develop. You imprison
a person on a reservation for fifty
years and do for him, think for
him, keep his money, keep his
property, do all of his business,
give him only a spluttering light
of the A. B. C's, keep chat person
in fear and take away the respon-
sibilities of life from him, let him
not breathe the air of freedom,
Dole out to him this and that
religion, have policeman watch
over him, arrest him and put MIN
in Jail for petty causes in order to
keep discipline on the reservation.
He must not DO this or that with
out permission from the Superin-
tendent. His children are taken
away to school and brought back
to live as before. White improve
ments may creep in all around
him, pipes may run through the
reservation, his water rights may
be taken away from him, his land
is leased and he has nothing to say.
There is no ODE that can do any
thing for him but the Indian
Office. He cannot have a lawyer
without the consent Of the Indian
Bureau. Just think of it! The
Indian Office says, the Indians
cannot live without the Indian
Bureau. They are right in way.
Why's Because the Indian Bureau
has caused the atrophlc condition
of the Indian people-caused by
want of use and a chance to de-
velop what God has endowed to
every human creature on the face
of the earth.

TO the Boxing Fans

The fans who attended the boxing
match last Thursday night were some
what disappointed in the main bout
between Young Harry Wills and Kid
Clark. The management was as
much disappointed as any of the fans,
These boys put up great battle in
Waterville last fall and promoter
Roullard thought he was going to give
the fans a show that could not have
been beaten anywhere in the state, If
the referee had not been stage struck
the management AYERS that the boys
would have had to fight or the bout
would have been stopped and they
would not have received one penny
for their services.
The semi-final between Major Kid
Lessor and the Panama Kid was one
of the best bouts seen here for some
time, Lessor gave the fans the sur
prise of their lives by stopping the
Panama Kid in the fifth round AS
the Panama Kid claimed he was not
in good shape, these boys may be
matched over In the near future.
Young Thibodeau stopped Young
Langfeld of Wateryille in the second
round. The curtain raiser between
Young Steward and Thibodeau was a
draw and furnished the fans much
amusement.
Promoter Roullard intends to stage
another show either the 25th of May
or June LIST. Hereafter there will
be referee that knows the game,
according to the management.

McKeague Funeral
Draws Large Crowd
State Troopers and County De-
tectives on Guard at Grave
side-Still investigating.

The funeral Of Seymour McKeague,
murdered as he worked in a field at
Scullville, was held last Sunday after
noon and Palestine Church was crowd
ed to its doors, and a large crowd also
assembled outside the edifce. State
Troopers and County Detectives were
on guard at the cemetery, to keep the
large crowd in check while the cere-
monies were being performed.
A few days ago Former Assistant
Prosecutor Herbert R. Voorhees, made
an application to have the Lee family,
father and two sons, released from Jail
on bail, and Judge Smathers had APP
proved the application, when the State
Troopers made a request that NO bail
be taken as yet. as they expected to
reveal some sensational developments
soon. Judge Smathers then rescinded
his order for the release.
By a queer coincidence a bungalow
belonging to Herman Lee, one of the
men held in Jail, was burned last Sat
urday morning early. State police
and County Detectives are making an
investigation of this fire.
The crime has caused more excite
ment throughout Atlantic County than
any other which has happened within
recent years. While the people of the
County are apparently sitting quietly
and awaiting the turning of the wheels
OF justice, the general opinion is that
Atlantic County cannot afford to let
this dastardly crime go unpublished.
Everybody is DESTROYS, of seeing the
murderer get his just punishment, no
matter who the guilty party is or what
his circumstances in life may be.

ROBERT WILLIS HODGMAN
Grandson of Freeholder Robert
M. Willis Killed in Germany
by Railroad Train.

News of the sudden death of Robert
Willis Hodgman, ten-year-old child of
Lieutenant Commander and Mrs. Viii
liam Adams Hodgman, and the Oldest
g~randchild of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert NJ.
Willis, of 40 East Verona avenue,
Pleasan-yille, was received by cable
gram at the Willis home last week.
The news of Bobby's death was
meagre and the communication CON
tanned only the information that he
had been killed at a railway crossing
in Bonn, Germany, where his father is
stationed.
Bobby was known in this part of
the shore as an enthusiastic patriot
and was greatly loved by all who knew
him. In full navy uniform he made
brief speeches for the First Liberty
Loan drive at Victory Statue in Penn
Square, Philadelphia, and at Saratoga,
n. Y, the home of Commander Hodg-
mans parents. His buy a bond to
help the boys" never failed to win the
crowd.
During the time his father was sta
toned at the U. S. Naval Station at
Guam, Bobby was commissioned a Ser
geant Major of the United States Ma
rine Corps.
The child was a descendant of Will
liam Bradford, first Governor of the
Plymouth Colony.

TROOPER RANKIN
DECLARED GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict Against
Officer Following Trial at Mays
Landing on Thursday.
SENTENCE WAS DEFERRED.

As a elimination of the differences
between local and state police, arising
out of the arrest of patrolman Henry
Garrison several weeks ago, when he
made an effort TO arrest two State
Troopers who had passed his traffic
signal at Main street and Washington
avenue, Horace Rankin, one Of the
offending State Troopers, has been
convicted by a jury at Mays Landing.
There were two counts in the indict-
ment against Rankin, assault and bat
terry and resisting an officer. The jury
exonerated him on the assault and
battery charge, but returned a convic-
ton on the resisting an officer charge.
Judge William H. Smathers deferred
sentence until a later date.
This trial will probably establish a
precedent as a test of authority be
tween municipal and state police.
The latter are governed by legislative
acts and by rules formulated in accor-
dance with the provisions OF the stat
utes, and have jurisdiction, in some
matters, in any part of the state. OF
course municipal policemen have juris-
diction only within the boundaries OF
their municipalities, except when spe-
cially deputized for some special occa-
sion.
Municipal authorities have police
powers over state and county roads
within their municipalities. Patrol
man Carlson was on duty, as a traffic
officer, on the date when State Troop
ers Rankin and Tighe passed his sig
nal which a turned against them.
Garrison halted them and then IN aTgn-
ment ensued, in which it was alleged
a blackjack and revolver figured.
Garrison was arrested and taken from
the municipality and his post Of duty
by the State Troopers and carted over
a good part of Atlantic County to find
Magistrate William Mischlich, before
whom he was arraigned- The verdict
of the jury practically says that the
State Troopers were wrong in not sub
hitting to the authority Of the munich
pal policeman. 1t is expected the con-
viction win be appealed 10 the Su-
preme Court.
