sought an interview in an effort to

Michael T. Horner, jr., who was at
the residence, said that he knew lit
if any one was interested in it they
could obtain it. He said, however,
that it is believed to have come up
from Richmond in shipment of
junk, bat he did not know whether
it was lifted from the waters during
dredging operations.
The remainder of the ram is also
believed to be intact, and investlga-

DR.. Francis c. Nicholas. dean of the
Maryland Academy of Sciences, on
West Franklin street, said that he
examined the ram this week, but that
he had no information as to it's au-
therticity or origin. He pointed out
that numerous ships had been
equipped with this implement of war,
but, of course. he admitted that the
fact that the ram OF the Virginia was
torn and broken seemed to fit close
ly the one now in Baltimore. He has
written to Mrs. Horner suggesting
that the ram be placed in the Mary
land Academy of Sciences. but as yet
has received no reply. He suggested,
however, that it is the growing idea
of scientists and archaeologiSts that
relics should be kept in the territory
in which they are found, and, in such
case, this one should be sent to a
museum in Norfolk or Richmond.

ment at Washington, there is a

BALTIMORE Md, July 12.-while
scientists, historians and archeolo-
gists have explored inaccessible places
in all parts of the world seeking bits
of material to trace the progress of
mankind. there has lain on a. street
IN an industrial section of this town
a relic that marked the beginning of
a new era in naval warfare, and
which. only the long range guns of
today have made obsolete. 1t is what
IS left of the ram from the old iron
clad monitor Virginia, as she was
known In the Confederate Navy, or
from the Merrimac, as she was known
IN the Union Navy before she was
taken over by the Confederates.
New interest is being aroused in
this old relic which lies on the pub
lie highway here close to an iron
foundry. where the blast furnaces
cape for such pieces of iron. Just
sent to the bottom March s, 1862, in
nine fathoms of water in Newport

appear as an historical relic An eff
tort is being made now to have it
appropriately marked and placed in
the National Museum at Washington
where it rightfully belongs. and
where 1t may be set to show a. step
In naval warfare when vessels could
get close enough together to be pune
tured and sunk.
Travels OF Ram Unknown.
Just how the ram got to its posi-
t1on in Baltimore is d bit hazy, but
doubt as to its authenticity has been
wiped out by the fact that not many
years ago a man named Ramsay. said
to have been chief engineer of the
Virginia, was brought to Baltimore
by the late Douglas H. Thomas, a
Baltimore banker, and it was identi-
fed as the ram from that famous
vessel.

TALLY breaking her ram. After
drawing off two ship lengths and
having delivered a second broadside
at the Congress, the Merrimac> a sec
ond time rammed the Cumberland,
which sank almost Immediately. 1t

There is nothing in the war rec
ords which would aid In substantial
ing the point that the ram here is
that of the Merrimac, except that
history shows that II was poorly Sc

more, who sighted the relic several
days ago and made strenuous efforts
to have the mayor and the Maryland
Academy of Sciences save it, appealed
to The Washington Star by letter,
with a view to having it placed in
the National Museum at Washington
Before coming here to examine the
relic, a staff correspondent of The
Star examined records in the war
library at the Navy Department,
which included a line drawing of the
old ironSideS, showing the design of
the ram. and the method of placing
it on the Monitor. The iron lying
neglected on the pavement here cor
responds in detail to the design as
shown in the drawing at the Navy
Department. Its identification by
Chief Engineer Ramsay seems to
have been complete, and the only
thing left is to trace its history from
the time it was used in the battle,
when it was left in the hulk of the
Cumberland as she went to the bot
tom with colors still flying.
Vessel Had Iron Ram.
In the records at the Navy Depart
ment is contained verbatim teNimony
vestigation of the Navy at the time
of the civil war. At one point Sena-
tor Semmes asked if the Virginia, or
Merrimac. had a "beak" placed upon
her, to which Commander John NJ.
Brooks, ordnance expert in the Con-
federate states navy, replied:
Yes, she had a piece of cast iron,
but it was left, they say. in the Cum
berland. 1t was originally built with
a prov, but an additional beak was
put on"

holding their jobs as guardians,
and they point out how much
better off the Indian is as a gov
eminent ward than he would be as
a citizen. The same defense was
made for slavery. We were told
that the negro was much happier
and IN much better circumstances
economically as a slave than he
would be as free man.
But the only permanent and &C.
ceptable solution of the Indian
problem is the adoption of bill
declaring that all noncitizen In
dams born within the territorial
limits of the United States shall
be Immediately declared full citi-
zens with all the rights of citizens,
and that the Indian Bureau be
abolished.
One example of how the Indian
Bureau works will be sufficient.
In the state of Washington is a
tribe of Indians who own property
worth some $2O,OOO,OOO. This
immense estate is in the direct
charge of one superintendent who
is paid $135 a month, He is the
virtual dictator over not only the
property but the very mode of
living of hundreds of Indians The
Indian has no means of legal
redress if this man abuses his
power. The only hope is TO ap,
peal to Congress-if that can be
called a hope"
1t is no defense of this system
to say that the superintendent
doesn' abuse bis power, and al
ways acts wisely and humanely.
You cauld make the same
defense" of slavery and claim
that the master WAS always humane
and just.
Either America is a. free
country" or it isn't. If it is, no
one group of citizens should be
given autocratic power over any
other group.
The Indian Bureau may be com
posed of men of the highest char.
acter and attainments; they may
be scrupulously honest and faithful
to their duty. But that does not
justify the continued existence of
the Bureau. If the demand for
economy in government affairs
and for the curtailment of a grow
ing federal bureaucracy is an
honest demand, one of the first
bureaus to 60 should be the Indian
Bureau. -

An Indian Bill Of
Vital importance,

or every true friend of the Ameri.
can Indian.
Originating in the House, zeal
ously championed by our Indian
Bureau System; H. r. 1856 was
rushed through without public
hearing, and provided as follows:
That the Secretary of the In
terror is hereby authorized, in his
discretion, under regulations to be
prescribed by him, TO issue a GER
tificate of citizenship to any non
citizen Indian born within the
territorial limits of the United
States, who may make application
therefor, and, upon the issuance
of such certificate to any Indian,
he or she shall be citizen of the
United States"
Clearly this was the Bureau
answer to the ever increasing wave
sweeping over the country for the
Indian to be placed on the same
footing in his and his ancestors
native country, as is every other
race on earth, whose ancestors
pre.empted from the Indian.
But what a tragic farce such q
bill would be! Anyone can see
that it is the same old story of
loading down the Indian by giving
officials more individual DISCRE-
TON, and of 'fooling the public"
as to Indian citizenship.
A protest to Senators (the bill
passed the House with no chance
to even protest. by some intelli.
gent, educated and refined Indians,
all So called citizens. yet legally
each is a ward" and an ''incom-
petent," reads:
This Indian citizenship bill is
so constructed that it gives the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs absolute
control oyer the granting of citi-
zenship. The Indian desires citi-
zenship-simple, direct, without
any opportunity for bargaining by
those who have the power over
him. They want no opportunity
given to their rulers to sell"
citizenship for support and influ-
ence. There are Indians today
held as incompetent as a punish
ment for activity in exposing
wrongs by Indian agents. This
form of.giving the Indians their
freedom is against the fundamental
principles of democratic govern
ment."
The Committee on Indian Affairs
of the Senate heard the Indians
plea, and, on April 18th last, this
Committee, to the honor of itself
and to the honor of every citizen
of our country, reported favorably
upon the following bill, namely:
That all noncitizen Indians
born within the territorial limits
of the United States be and they
are hereby declared TO be citizens
of the United States"
This is the bill the Indian wants,
He wants no charity. He wants
no Government paternalism. But
he does want an equal chance with
you and me to fight his own
battles under the freedom and
protection guaranteed by our Stars
and Stripes.
II the bill passes the Senate, it
then goes to the House. Well
posted Indians claim chat the ma
jority of the Committee on, Indian
Affairs in the House does not give
them fair treatment. That such
Committee is controlled by the
Bureau. H..
Therefore, it is imperative that
every true friend of the Indian
should not only urge his Senator
to vote for this bill III. r, 6355)
as recommended by the Senate
Committee, but, when passed by
the Senate, every such friend must
needs use every legitimate means
