Fund is Asked for
Tubercu|ar indians.
Aid for Minnesota ChlppeWas Will hs
Asked by Indian Bureau, Says Official
Of State Board Of Control.

A fund of $4,000 for tubercular
Minnesota Indians is being sought
to be used among the Chippewas
and is included in the budget of
the commissioner of Indian affairs
to be presented at the present
session of Congress.
The plan is eventually to build a
hospital for tubercular Indians
who object to being placed in hos
pitfalls for white people. Mrs
Blanche La Du, chairman of the
state board of control, and mem
Der of the National Advisory
Council on Indian affairs, an.
nounced last week.
Mr.. La Du had just returned
from Washington. where she at
tended a meeting of the council of
100, appointed by Hon. Hubert
Work, secretary of the interior.
Last September, through the
interest of the State Board of Con-
troll, the Indian Bureau promised
to. include an appropriation for
tubercular work among the Mime
sofa Indians, and now they are
keeping that PROMISE" says Mrs.
La Du.
While the council was 10 session
in Washington, a bill was intro.
duced in the lower House of Con-
gress by Representative Knutson
authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to appraise tribal proper
ty'of the Minnesota Chippewas
through a commission of three
persons. One of the. commission
to be appointed from the Depart
ment of the Interior by the Secre
tary, one selected by the Chlppe-
was from their own tribe, and one
a resident of Minnesota, appointed
by the President.
Mrs. La Due declared that vir-
tually all of the Minnesota con.
gressmen and the leaders of the
Indians themselves favor the pas.
sage of the bill, which will give to
the competent Indian citizens their
share of land. This will make
them independent of government
supervision and not only help the
Indians but the state as we'll, she
said.

'SavageIand" Given Again

Savageland, the musical COM
edy put on by the high school
dramatic club so successfully
early this month, was repeated
last night before a large crowd
in the school auditorium. This
play is proving a fine source of
revenue for the club. From the
first performance $158.5O was
cleared. Already, out of this
money, footlights and sidelights
have been bought for the stage.
These are removable in sections,
and a box for them has been
made so that they may be pack
ed securely and put away after
each show. C. E. Graham and
B. l.. Smith, the electrical ex-
perts, donated to the dramat-
ic club the work of installing
the electric lights.

Rat Devours Canaries
Night Raider Visits Office of Man
ager Don Nichols

Don Nichols, manager of the
Paris Theatre in Durham, got
one Of the hardest blows in his
life when he reached his office
one morning last week and
found that two of his dearly be-
loved canaries had disappeared
from their cages. Feathers
sticking to the bars, and one or
two tiny drops of blood, told him
at once that murder had been
done.
He began a search for clues,
and down in the corner of the
room he discovered a bunch of
feathers and one tiny bone. How
habit happened? Naturally his
first thought was that a cat was
the criminal. But the place
where the feathers were found
was an opening between two
boxes, too small for any cat to
enter. Mr.. Nichols concluded
then that it must have been a
rat, and, although he has been
studying over the mystery for
days, he has not been able to
form any more plausible theory.
Yet it does not satisfy. He is
still puzzling over the episode.
He understands how a rat or a
large mouse may have got into
the cages, but does not under
stand how the birds could have
been dragged out between the
bars.
This is not the first raid upon
the managers birds. Last year
a night prowler-supposed at
that time to be a cat-made
way with a trainer" bird
valued at $35. "a trainer" is
one that teaches the young how
to sing). On that occasion the
marauder did not carry his prey
away but feasted on the spot,
and the birds head was left on
the floor of the cage. A rat was
not suspected then, because a
large animal might have pulled
the canary to the bars and de-
stroyed it there. What makes
last weeks affair so strange is
that the birds were taken away
from the cage to be eaten, to a
place where a cat could not go.
One of the two canaries that
we're killed was a female, worth
only $1.5O or So, but the other
was a male with a market value
of SIS. The females are not
champion singers.

Mr.. Featherstone was apparent

the chief says he did not see Mr..
Robertson at all in Durham and
did not have any idea that he
was with Mr.. Everett.
Failing to stop the escaping
car, the two pursuers went to
the Durham police station and
had messages sent out, to towns
IN the direction of Virginia, ask
ing that the occupants o. the
Buick be stopped and held. They
also telephoned to the Govern
or's office in Raleigh asking
that word be sent from there
too.
MIR. Featherstone says that
nobody tried to stop him on the
way.
When they got to South Bos-
ton the Chapel Hill chief parted
company with his two compan-
ions and came back home. He
and the prisoner told each other
goodbye amicably, and the
chief offered to deliver any
letters or messages the prisoner
might like to send. Mr.. Wieg-
and wrote out two notes, and
Mr.. Featherstone got envelopes
for him. The missives were

Brief History of Affair
The beginning of the. affair
was a letter from the police of
Ohio to the police of Chapel Hill
requesting the arrest of Mr.,
Wiegand, about ten days ago.
The reply was sent back that no
arrest could be made without a
warrant, A warrant was sent,
reaching here one week ago to-
day.
When Chief Featherstone set
out to serve it, he was told that
the accused man was in a room
IN the kluttz building. APP
preaching the door he heard
sounds of gambling. He listened
a few minutes, then pushed in
the door. Mr.. Wiegand and
four or five other men were
around a table playing cards.
Thus he was arrested for gamb-
ling and arrested on the Ohio

j. w. Bailey Speaks
Candidate Says State Suffers From
High Freight Rates

Freight rates-this was the
main topic of Josiah w. Bailey,
candidate for Governor in the
Democratic Primaries, when he
spoke in Memorial Hall Monday
night.
He did not content himself
with generalities but produced
facts and figures to show how
North Carolina was discrimin-
ated against.
1T is not only the $10,OO0,OOO
in excessive rates that we lose, "
said Mr.. Bailey. ''That is the
smallest part of the damage.
The great loss is the business
that is driven away from us.
why, we ought to have five
cities in North Carolina as big
as Ri ehmond. The reason we
haven't~is\ told in those two
words-freight rates."
Mr.. Bailey made a deep i'm
preston upon his audience. He
spoke with great earnestness,
putting fire into every word.
One of the instances he gave
of freight rate discrimination
pertained to the city of Green's
boro. Referring to a talk with
a traffic expert of that city, he
said that Greensboro paid
$225,00O a year in coal freights
over and above what Danville
had to pay for the same amount
of coal from equally distant
mines. He told of an oysterman
of Morehead City shipping his
product to Kansas and having
to pay to the railroads II cents
more per gallon than a Balti-
more shipper has to pay,
Comparing conditions here
and in Illinois, he said that the
official published rates showed
that 81 would carry a given
shipment several times as far
in Illinois as in North Carolina.
"Why is it," asked Mr.. Bail
ey, "that North Carolina ranks
5th in the United States in the
total value of farm products
and yet is 41st in the average
ANIMALS earnings per farm work
er? Why is it that the average
per capita wealth throughout
the union is $4,000, and in North
Carolina only S170O? Why is
it that only II in 1000 people
in North Carolina earn as much
as $4,000 a year, while 81 in
1,C0O is the average for the
United States?"

PROTEST AGAINST
BOARDS ACTION
Citizens of Bingham TOWNSHIP
Ask Change of Decision on
School Site
WANT CENTRAL LOCATION

Instead of ending the argu-
ment about the location of the
new school in Bingham town
ship, the decision of the county
school board last week has stim-
ulated to further opposition the
people who are against the
White Cross site offered by
Lueco Lloyd.
There have been two sites
under consideration, the one Of
fered as a. gift by Mr.. Lloyd,
Immediately at White Cross,
and the other already owned by
the county about three quarters
of a mile to the west. A petit
ton signed by more than 100 of
the citizens of the school dis
trict was presented to the board
three or four weeks ago, asking
that the new school be built on
the ground to the west. Repre-
senting a majority Of the dis
trict, they say they were much
surprised at the boards deci-
sion in favor of the White Cross
location.
Now they are seeking to have
the question reopened. This
time the move is made through
the local school committeeman
of the district. Of the IA COM
mitteemen, 13 have signed a pc
tition asking the board to recon-
slider it's decision and choose the
western site, known as No. 2.
In the district are 5 schools
Sunnyside, Fairview, Orange
Chapel, Mitchell Hill, and White
Cross. Those who have signed
the petition are:
Sunnyside: P. c. Lloyd 4. w.

son and Kernie Rogers.
Lueco Lloyd of White Cross
is the only one of the IA commit
teemen not signing the petition,
The petition recites three rea-
sons why site No. 2 should be
selected:
First, that it is more conve-
nient to the district as a whole,
being more centrally located
with regard to the homes Of
children who will attend school.

Excitement in the Town
Not in a long time has the
village been thrown into such
excitement as it experienced
Tuesday when the ex-candidate
for mayor was rushed out of
town in an automobile. In full
view of the public he was
hustled across the street, showed
into Ford, taken down
Strowd's hill, there transferred
to a Buick, and carried through
Durham and Roxboro to South
Boston, Virginia.
1t all took place so suddenly
that the party was gone from
Chapel Hill almost before main
street knew what was happen
ing.
R. O. Everett, Mr.. Wieg-
and's counsel, who had come
over from Durham to prevent
the taking away of his client
got Mayor Robertson into the
Everett car, a Packard, and they
took out after the Buick. BY
following the short cut through
Forest Hills they reached Dur
ham first, and the two cars
came together just beyond the
Chapel Hill street railroad cross
ing.
Here was the novel spectacle
of the Moyor of Chapel Hill chas-

came across the tracks behind

Great Jones street, and jumped
on the running board.
The car driven by Chief
Featherstone gave a lurch. The

BEAUTY CHATS
A Chat on White Hair.

II you dread the coming of white
hairs, let me tell you the story of a
woman whom we will call Mrs. Gra-
ham, though that is not her real
name. Mrs. Graham had been an
unattractive girl, and as she grew
old she became still less attractive,
with her pale complexion and her
light-colored nondeScript hair She
had rather fine dark eyes, but no one
paid much attention to them. No
one paid much attention to her any
way, and least of all her own hus-
band. She dreaded the approach of
elderliness and dyed the white hairs
as they appeared. The result. as
usual, was TO make her still homeIier.
Her husbands death and a period of
illness and trouble brought her back
TO her old home with her hair snow
white. She was too discourag gcd with
life to try to darken it. And then
suddenly she found herself spoken of
as an exceedingly attractive woman,
for the white hair gave prominence
and beauty to her dark eyes, and her
pale skin, a clear pallor now as a
result of her illness, went very we'll
with her white locks.
Mrs. Graham as q widow who ac-
knowledged herself fifty years old
began to receive all the attention
which, as a young girl and a young
wife, she could never command. Some
of il, perhaps, was because she took
care of her white hair, washing it
every six weeks with CASTLE soap and
warm water, and between each one
of these shampoos giving il a good
washing with half alcohol and half
water. She kept ii in this way a lus-
trous silvery white, without a tinge
of yellow. She also used the slightest
amount of bluing in the rinse water.
