Interested in Policy
Of Indian Department,

Since the approval a few days
ago by President Harding of the
report of the three commissioners
selected to determine the amount
due the Chippewas of Minnesota,
the status of the Minnesota Nation
al Forest is definitely established.
Interest centers on several things.
One of them is as too whether the
policy W the Indian department
will be to settle with individual
Indians who are competent and
give them their per capita. share
of the tribal funds now held by
the Indian department. If this
policy is pursued, and we have
always Advocated it, each Indian
would receive a sum of money
that would be of some material
benefit.
The other proposition which is
being discussed is whether those
Indians and others who own lands
under former Indian title will now
be willing to exchange them for
timber to the extent of their value
off the forest reserve. The policy
of the forestry department is I'M
derstood to be to try to correct as
nearly as possible a solid block of
lands.
AS the matter stands now there
are many privately owned tracts
and many Indian allotments be-.
longing to individual Indians in
the confines of the forest. If
these owners will exchange land
for timber the forest would be
consolidated the more while the
timber would still be available for
the use of the public in the mar
kets. The state also owns quite a
sizeable proportion of the lands
within the lines of the Minnesota
National Forest under the swamp
land grants.

Thore are 81 distinct Indian
tribes or remnants of Indian tribes
still in the United States, accord.

Department of the Interior.
The total Indian population is
34O,917, belonging to these vari.
Gus tribes, scattered throughout
the United States. The number
of tribes that originally inhabited
the United States before ito in

The Indian population also was
much larger.
At the present time $1,000 of
these Indians are attending Indian

to the Interior department by the
superintendent of the Reno, Ne.

The dance or ceremony is called
The Girps Dance" and che girl
who is the central figure, eats
nothing for period of four days.
On the fourth night the dance
takes place and continues until
sunrise the following day. -.
As the dance proceeds late into
the night the family of the girl
gives money and other possessions
to the dancers. Shortly after mid,
night a big feast is, given by the
girls relatives.
The ceremony closes at sunrise
when the.airl is taken inside of
her tepee and attired in punches
of sage brush in which money is
concealed. She appears later be
fore the assembled dancers outside
and throws the money to them
A can of water is then dashed
over her head, concluding the
ceremony, after which she is
ready to receive proposal of
marriage. ~ ~l. !

How indian Names Originated,

AT different times i'm the last
several years there have been en-.
lDolled at Haskell Indian school
boys and girls by the name of
Harjo, Fixico, and Emarthla, with
occasionally Tiger. 1t is said that
there are more Hsrjos on the rolls
Of the Seminole and Creeks than
any other. A writer IN the Okla.
homan has an explanation Of this.
He states first that the Seminole
were part of the Creek Tribe,
but that more than a hundred
years ago a large band of Creeks
wandered away from the main
tribe and became known as the
Seminole, or wanderers. John
Jumper, one of the most famous
and the greatest of the Seminole
chisfs, once stated that when the
Creeks and Seminole were one ma
ton, they were very war-like.
They had an army patterned, in q
great measure, after the armies of
the more civilized nations. 1t was
composed of common soldiers,
formed into squads; at the head
of each was an officer. A number
of these squads formed a company
governed by higher officer.
Jumper declared that soldier and
Harjo meant the same. This may
account for the large number who
bear this name. He further stated
that company of 100 men was
differed by a "Fixico." In effect
the word "Fixlco" and sergeant
were similar.
The word "Emarthla" meant
captain. He was the leader when.
ever two or more squads went
forth to battle. 1t was his duty
to carry out the orders of the
chiefs of the council fires. Only
once in a while was the Emarthla
allowed to participate in the coun.
ellis, but whatever orders were
determined upon by the council he
was to carry into effect.
A strange tradition exists among
the Creeks and Seminol that old
Indians often spoke of and which
perhaps was born of some long
forgotten treaty or agreement.
The old Indian of to-day says that
"mingelisse" or redcoat is coming
some day to ally himself with the
Indians to help them regain their
lost territory.

A Wall Street Plot Suspect.

Pursuit of those who perpetrated the
Wall street bomb outrage September
10, 1920. persists, despite repeated fail
ures and disappointments. The latest
development in the case is the arrest
of a man recently returned from Rus
sia. Search for him was instituted on
the basis of a statement by an Ameri-
can and his wife who some time be.
fore had come back. grievously disap-
pointed, from one of the cooperative
colonies promoted by bolshevik agents
in this country. They declared that a
man named Lerner had. in Russia.
boasted that he drove the death wagon
in New York, denies any association
with the crime, and claims that he
made no such boast, but claims that
he did possibly say he had driven a
wagon about the streets in the Wall
street district September II, 1920, in a
campaign in behalf of the New York
state socialist assemblymen then un-
der fire.
The case against Lerner does not
seem, according to matters thus far
disclosed. to be particularly strong. 1t
is stated that the police have proof
that he went to New York from this
city, where he was then employed, on
the day before the explosion and regis
tered at d certain hotel at which, as
by pre-arrangement, a number OF other
radicals were accommodated. But un-
less there is something specific to con-
meet Lerner with the crime of Septem-
Der 16 his association with these radi-
Gals would not warrant accusation.
This case is Of interest mainly as
showing that the search for those in
volved in the Wall street crime per-
sists. That it was a crime and not an
accident is definitely accepted. That
it was the work of radicals bent upon
terrorizing the country is also believed
Many people have been arrested only
to be let go after an investigation has
failed to elicit proof of completely. a
crime of this kind necessarily must
have involved several people, and it is
altogether probable that ultimately one
of them will, through inadvertence or
boastfulneSs, reveal his part and thus
bring to light the whole dastardly plot
and probably bring to punishment
those still alive who were involved
in it.

teen. New York feels that its time has
come again.
In this connection it is stated that
st. Louis does not want the meeting in
1924. Just why is not explained. but
perhaps ST. Louis has a tip that 1t has
small chance of choice. However that
may be, the present discussion favor
ing New York arises from the fact
that the Empire state is now reckoned
as factor of vital Importance in the
political equation. But there are other
cities than Manhattan that might be
York and Tammany are in many
minds regarded as synonymous. and
the combination is not a particularly
happy one in the national field.
The last democratic convention was
held at San Francisco, and 1t is under
stood that the prevalent feeling among
the members Of the party Is decidedly
adverse to crossing the Rockies again.
The contest would seem to be between
one of the Mississippi valley cities and
possibly New York, which. having
made a definite bid. must be con
sidered as in the field. Kansas City
would be pleased to act as host. it is
said. Chicago. virtually pre-empted as
the republican meeting place. is not
especially keen in the contest.
If the convention comes east why
should it not come 70 Washington?

New York's Bid.

!. New York is out after next year 8
democratic convention. One Of the
newspapers in that city has been at
work recently canvassing the ques-
ton, and it now announces that in re-
ply to telegraphic inquiries ten ma
tional committeeman and twelve ma
tional committeewomen have recorded
themselves as virtually unreserved-
ly' for New York, while many others
personally favor" that city" ,"but do not
feel free to commit themselves" In
connection with the effort to, land the
convention for New York it is point
ed out that it has not been the scene
of a national political meeting since
1868, when for the first and only time
the democratic convention was held
there. Since then that party has met
as follows: At Baltimore in 1872, at ST.
Louis in 1876, at Cincinnati in 1880,
at Chicago in 1884, at st. Louis in
1883, at Chicago in 1892 and 1896, at
Kansas City in 1900, at st. Louis in
1904, at Denver in 1908, at Baltimore
in 1912, at St. Louis in 1916 and at
San Francisco in 1920. Thus since
New York entertained the democratic
party ST. Louis has had four conven-

national associations, and that this
popularity is increasing. Within two
days the news has chronicled that
the fi'ty-sixth annual convention of
the American Institute of Architects
will meet in this city this month. A
circular sent out to all members OF the
association says: Washington is the
headquarters of the institute. and
every member should be at home here
and should look upon Washington in
much the same way as he looks upon
his own city"
social workers of the Episcopal
Church will be in Washington from
May % to 25, inclusive. The national
conference of Jewish Social Service
the National Probation Association,
holding its seventeenth annual confer
ence. is now sitting in Washington.
The Chemical Society of Washington
has invited the American Chemical
Society, of which it is branch, to hold
its annual convention in Washington
in the spring of 1925. This is said to
be the largest scientific organization
in the world, and one can have but
little doubt that it will accept the in
vitation of its Washington members
to come to the National Capital, which
is the, home of more scientific workers
than any other city in the United
States and probably has Il larger popu-
lation OF people enlisted in scientific
employment than any other city in
the world.
AS every one knows Washington is
now making most elaborate prepara-
ton for the approaching convention
of the Shrine. Every month and every
week national associations gather at
Washington. The Indians had some
foresight of the future as well as
knowledge Of the past and present
when they called this locality 1.-The

Meeting Place of the Tribes.

Before there was any thought that
a great city would stand at the juno
tion of the Potomac and Anacostia
rivers the Indians Of this region
called the site of Washington 1.-The
meeting place of the tribes" 1t is a
tradition. and perhaps it may be set
down as history that representatives
or delegates from many tribes held
councils or conventions on Green
leafs point, a place which old Wash
ingtonians persist in calling Arsenal

have passed from the vocabulary of
later Washingtonians, who have
adopted the name washington bar

ton as the meeting place Of the tribes,
but as the meeting place of Congress
and Of national societies of all kinds.
Reading the news columns Of The

who does not know the fact already
that Washington Is the most popular
of all cities AZ the gathering place Of
