u. S. Asked to Stay
$4,000 Wild Cayuses

Seattle, Wash.-The King County
Humane society has started a cam
paign to persuade the United States
government to Stay 1900 cayuses on
the Yakima Indian reservation.
"From a few culls turned out by the
Indians these horses have gradually
multiplied" said Charles NJ. Farrer,
executive secretary of the society.
punches of them got into the roads,
and have been u down by automo-
biles. Because they raid ranches, an
cry ranchers shoot them. The wound
ed struggle off to die. but often before
they do so crows, magpies and coyotes
pounce upon them
Mr.. Farrer explained that if the
ponies were done away with the gov
eminent could rent the ringe for graz
ing stock, thus producing an income
for the Indians on the reservation.
An arrangement several years ago to
kill the cayuses and make chicken feed
and fertilizer of them fell through be
cause the Indians demanded SO a head
instead of So.

Cummings, former chairman of the democratic na- tional committee and present member of the committee from Connecticut, de- elared in starement issued today from :an.raign :.eascuarters Of W,i.isn C. McAdoo.
 It is "a reflection upon the ihtelli- gence of the public to assume that the slanderous attacks upon Mir. McAdoo will either deceive the people or i'm pair his availability as a candidate Mr. Cummins' statement said.
 Bringing Mir. McAdoo's name into the inquiry, the statement said, was an attempt by republicans '.to divert at- ftention from their own derelictions, ' The inquiry, the statement said, had clearly indicated the high necessity of a complete and sweeping change ir the management of our government"
 The suggestion of Mir. McAdoo's with tlrawal as candidate, the statement said, lis not worthy of serious !consid- eration, and would be tantamount to the abandonment of any promising at tempt to rescue the government from the hands of those who have been dis polling it.' .~ McAdoe forces were gathering here tonight for the conference on Monday to decide whether he will continue in the race. 1t was announced that Mir. McAdoo win not arrive here until late Monday afternoon, the conference start ing on Monday morning.

Peter, Matthew And Mark Also Bewildered On Arrival

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Peter and Mat thew, Mark and James, Judas 1scariot and the Christus, all of them among the celebrated Passion Players of Oberammergau, came to Chicago today.
 With Teutonic blue eyes a little be- wildered by the American metropolitan scene, long curly hair ripping down aver. npturned rovercoat collars and patriarchal boards and bland faces, half frightened, half-amused, plus a dignity which comes from a tradition 300 years old, the wood carvers of Oberammer. gau stepped from the train and per mitted themselves to be jostled about and posed by busy newspaper photog- raphers. .......- a.. ......
 Peter stood between Judas and the Christus and cameras clicked and flash lights boomed. He shook his head in hewilderment.
 "America-America- bad land--a crazy land," he murmured.
 The wood carvers will open an ex- hibition here next week, Anton Lang, who plays the Christus, explaining that the funds are to be used for relief of the starving in his own land, for which the trip to America was made.

WEIRD SOUND IN BANKERS HOME
Explained By Fact That Izahn's Son Will Play Saxphone In
 Jazz Band .

E, NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Instead Of following in his fathers footsteps and going in for banking and opera, Roger Wolff Kahn, youngest son of Otto H. Kahn, has chosen vaudeville. and jazz for his livelihood and pleasure. He has organized and is about to present a symphonic jazz orchestra that has startled all who have heard its initial strains. @
 It also explains the unusual sounds that have come for week from the Kahn home, HOO Fifth avenue. Re hearsals have been going on there almost daily and private hearing of the or ! chestra is to be, given at the Palace Theatre some morning next week with D view to Keith vaudeville booking on the heels of Paul Whiteman and Vincent Lopez. This is no lark Mir. Kahn has en- sgaged in. Although he is only 11 he long ago began to show unusual ability as musician. Then he became sax bphone addict. Last year he gave a ssaxophone concert over the radio. He ,met Arthur Lange, who had banded a flew players together and tried out an lorchestra at the Strand and the Silver iSlipper cabaret. It was an experiment sand Kahn seized upon it to prove his tconviction that arrangement, nicety and sprecision could and should be resorted Ito with modern music. :. /, Kahn is spoken of as an organizer ,and packer of the orchestra. Lange will be the director. It will be known as the Roger Wolff Orchestra, with the surname Kahn omitted. Wolff was the family name of Kahn's mother. Pat .Casey's office is to do the booking. Friends of the financier's son who have learned of his project already have made. overtures to get the orchestra for society dances. Young Kahn is expected to sit in at timeS with his saxophone as soloist. ;
 ! At 17, the present age of his son, Otto H. Kahn aspired to be play wight, he admitted two years ago at a Society of Arts and Sciences dinner discussion. He wrote two tragedies of five acts each and then went into busi-
