Shrine RODEO
!. To OPEN HERE
MAY 80
Big Show Will Typify indian
Life Before Civilization
Hit Tribes.

A chunk of Montana, a slice of
Wyoming, piece of Arizona and
Oklahoma. topped off by bit of
Old Mexico, will be picked up-sage
brush, cactus and all-and trans
planted in Washington for the
Shrine Rodeo and Indian Exposition
scheduled to open May 80 as cur
tain-raiser on the Shriners National
Convention, according to plans an
nounced today by Victor J. Evans,
chairman of the committee in
charge of the event.
Officially designated 1.-THE Passing
of the West" the show promises to
have genuine historical significance,
and Evans, assisted by F. H. Bar
row, former secretary of the
Cheyenne frontier celebration, and
corps of experts, has spared no
pains to make the exposition one
that actually typifies the West Of a
generation or two ago.
Indians Going Fast.
1.-The American Indian is making
his last stand" says Evans, who
long has been student of Indian
lore and who now possesses the
most complete collection of Indian
relics in existence. Disease, prin-
cipaIly tuberculosis, has made rapid
inroads into the Indian population
Of the United States. Tuberculosis
is distinctly a house disease and
since the Indian has forsaken the
teepee to live indoors. his constitu-
ton offers little resistance to it.
A few years ago the average Indian
family consisted of six or seven
members, but now one very rarely
finds one of more than two or
three.
ION the other hand, a majority
of the Indian tribes of the United
States have embraced civilization
and so rapidly are they becoming
sophisticated that there remain only
a few bands which still retain the
customs and characteristics of their
race. For this reason I have had
to go to the far, far West to assem-
bic a band of Indians truly repre-
sentative of the race and one upon
which civilization has left no mark.
/ first intended to bring a band Of
Sioux to Washington, but upon i'm
vestigation I find that there is
scarcely a strip of buckskin left in
the tribe, once one of the most pic
turesque on the continent"
viii Give Tribe Dances.
One of the chief features of the
show, says Evans, will be typical
Indian village, populated by some
100 or more members of the Crow
and Blackfeet tribes of Montana and
the Cheyenne Indians of Wyoming.
Special railway cars have been built
to bring the Indians to the Capital
and they will come with chiefs,
squaws, papoose and pony to live IN
the "Billy Sunday lot" Just as they
live on their reservations in the
West In big stadium, now in the
course of construction, they will
demonstrate their native dances,
games and contests.

INVENTOR ARRESTED
FOR HARDING THREAT
Held for Observation for Alleged
Letters to President and Other
Federal Officials.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 16.-Ernest p.
Vincent, an inventor, who has had
reverses. was seized today by special
agents of the Treasury Department
at his office. 125 East 23d street. and
sent to the psychopathic ward of
Bellevue Hospital as the writer of
threatening letters said to have been
received by President Harding and
other government officials.
Federal detectives waited two hours
for Vincent to appear at his office,
which is in that of the Trusty Manu-
featuring and Engraving Corporation.
When he approached they started to-
ward him, and Vincent Immediately
fed. The agents chased him for a
block and a half eastward on 23d
street before overtaking him. Vim
cent is thirty-siX years old.
According to Mrs. Josephine Botha,
his landlady, who gathered from con-
verSationS with her erratic lodger,
some of his inventions had met with
success. and that he once had been
wealthy. She got the impression
that he designed airplane parts which
were used during the war and cleo
trical devices for advertising signs.
He had collected considerable sums
for infringements on his patents. Mrs.
Botha thought, but recently had lost
most of his money in stocks.
