S35,OOO LOSS BY
 SOUTH|NGTON FIRE
Barn and Contents at Holt Farm
 Destroyed by Flames
Special 10 The HeraldD.

Southington, Jan. 24.-Damagc esti- s35.000 was caused by a fire which destroyed the large dairy barn and its contents which stood on the Thomas Holt farm on West street in this town last night The structure, which is said to have been the largest of its kind in this section of the country, was leveled, while, because of it's sit uation, the firemen of the Southing- ton department looked on, helpless to aid. because of the fact that no water was available.
 Sixty head of stock. 56 cows and four horses, which were quartered in the barn, were driven to safety by the men of the place. but one COW and a calf returned into the burning struc- turc and were crcmatcd. Twenty nine tons of hay stored in the barn were burned. about s1.500 worth of farm implements were destroyed and a onc-tun truck was lost. The fire started when a gasoline milking sta ton exploded. The barn was owned by William A. Woolard of Hartford "ito Ia tuHIttl'u Nltl iHt AltCHdUitS Savings bank in that city. but was sublet to Anthony B. Fransien. who conducted dairy business there.
 MT Transfer stated that when the machine refused 10 run. he and his two helpers milked by hand and when they had finished. the milking ma chine suddenly emitted several sharp reports and when Transfer rushed to the end of the barn. he found the en- tire corner in flames. He hurriedly summoned his assistants and they pulled the stanchions allowing the cows to run out of the building. Two of the horses galoped away, but it was several minutes before the other two could he led to safety. An auto mobile truck was pushed to safety, but the flames spread so rapidly that the mon were unable to remove an other which was in the barn.
 The barn was situated on the top of the hill near Lake Compouncc and

HOPE BANKERS WILL
 MERGE FOR RELIEF
Middle WeSternerS Asked to Aid
 in Helping Farmers

Washington, Jan. 24.-AdminiStra- ton officials are working on plan for the formation of q syndicate of metropolitan bankers in Middle west ern cities who, it is hoped, may un- derwrite sufficient loans to relieve the northwestern bankers in the present credit stringency.
 Comptroller of the Currency Dawes, head of the mission sent out last week by President Coolidge to study the credit situation, returned 10 the treasury today and immediately went into conference with Secretary Mel lon. He declined 10 discuss plans which it was said the delegation had formulated but which have not been finally approved.
 The announcement in Sioux Falls by Managing Director Meyer, of the war finance corporation, that branch agency of the corporation was to be established there was received at the treasury with satisfaction. The belief prevailed that such additional loans as the corporation may extend in that section, regarded as the center Of the stringent credit area, would go & long way toward relieving the strain on the local banks
 It was indicated by treasury off cials that the war finance corpora iion's loans were merely the start of federal aid, but fl was said that much of the money that must be employed to straighten out the credit situation in the northwest will have to come from private sources because of laws limiting the government credits to six or nine months paper.
 In connection with the reported formation of the bankers syndicate, it was said that while the banks would be the first line of money supply. the government eventually would have 10 back them mp probably through the war finance corporation or through extension Of additional credit by fed ersl reserve banks.

is far removed from the Southington fire district. The fire department an swering an alarm, used their chem icals on the remaining buildings and saved them from destruction.
 Three Silos Also Destroyed
 The barn is about 200 feet long and about 150 feet wide. A water system, called the cup system, for the cows, had been installed d short time ago at a cost of s6,000. and this was en- tircly destroyed. Three large silos at one end of the structure and which were built only recently, were also de- stroyed in the conflagra ton.
 The fire lighted up the surrounding country for miles and was visible from many towns and cities in the neigh borhood. It was said last night that the buildings were partly covered by insurance but the remainder owned by Mir. Transfer, the tenant, was not covered. The fire started about 7:30 o'clock and lasted until after i o'clock this morning. This is the largest fire which Southington has experienced in years.

Ben CasWeI| Wants to
Winter in Washington.

The following letter, written by
Ben Caswell of Cass Lake, to a
party at Mskoonse Postofice, in
the Twin Lakes territory, has, been
handed to US. We publish i: 10
full in order to let the Chippewas
know what Caswell is up to and
also for the purpose of warning
the Indians against giving this
man, who is an employee in the
Indian Service in Minnesota, any
money to get to Washington or
anywhere else. If the Indian
Committees of Congress cannot
negotiate jurisdictional bill with
out the assistance of such stool
pigeons as Ben CasweH, then God
help the Chippewas. Ben Gas,
we'll has no standing with tie In
dams anywhere, and knows about
as much about the drafting of q !
jurisdictional bill for the Chippe
was as he does about the league of
nations. His sole object is to
spend the winter in comfort in
Washington at the expense of
the poor Indians who might be
foolish enough to give him money.
Caswell's letter follows:
"Cass Lake, MINI
Nov %, 1924.
MIR. Quay koonce,
Mahkoonse, MINI.
Dear SIR
Il expect to be called to
Washington, D c., to appear be
fore one or both of the Indian
Committees of Congress when the
jurisdictional bill for the Minneso-
ia Chippewa Indians is before the
committees.
The usual practice of this
kind of business, is that my fare,
lodging will be paid by the com
mittee that sends for me.
: Just as soon as they are thru
with me, they will pay me off and
turn me loose to come home at my
leisure.
,c II am now asking all my
friends to furnish me some money
as much as they can so that may
utilize this chance so that l can
stay longer and do some work for
the tribe.
=. THE money that may come to
me from our friends will prolong
my stay at Washington and push
some matters that will come to the
Indian Committees of Congress for
Il can use all the money they
send me because this is a great big
undertaking. 1t will eventually
involve millions of dollars.

small sum to sacrifice at this time.

own money in the past, have no
money now, or l would not ask for

assistance from their tribal funds.
As to facilities for education OF
the Indian, in the past the children
of the older Indians were taken to
the government schools. Now
there is disposition to make use
of the public schools where the
children can attend and live at
home under the care aud super.
vision of their parents. There are
many who do not send their child
rem to the government schools on
account of being deprived of the
association of their children. AS
they heye by instinct and intuition
a deep parental feeling for their
children, it is with a spirit of def
ance that they allow their children
to leave home for the government
boarding school. On the White
Earth reservation all the govern.
ment schools have been closed and
it has become necessary for the
Indian to get bis own education.
1t is true the Indian children are
taken into the public schools and
given educational training the
same as white children, and in
many cases with the same benefi.
cial results, however, at this vital
period the Indians are hampered
by the lack of proper food and
clothing. If the Indian pupils are
to compete with the white pupils
in the community and schools they.
will have to be comfortably clothed
and to some extent properly fed,
for without these necessities no
child can be expected to make even
average progress. and in these
matters the Indian father and
mother are just as much concerned
as those Of the white race. If
those in charge of tue funds be-
longing to the Chippewas at
Washington see fit to allow part of
that fund to be distributed among
them in the near future. they will
no doubt make the best possible
use of it. 1t will be carefully
used for the necessities of life, and
for the clothing and education Of
their children. In asking for.
money, being a Chippewa myself,
speaking in behalf of my people,
we are not begging for it, we are.
not even asking for a loan, we are
only asking that a portion of that
which is recognized by Congress
as our own be given to US at this
time.

point. The white man also takes
his toll of the fish and gathers hi.
share Of the wild fruits. This
means of subsistence which nature
affored TO our fathers is gone
never to return.
/ What has the Indian to take The
place of these sources of income
Some will say, let the Indian learn
from the white man, let him enter
the trades and do the manual labor
of the communities in which he
lives.
In this connection, it may be
stated, that despite the many noble
qualities of the Chippewa Indian,
those who are able TO succeed in
the trades or as shop helpers and
merchants are few in number. The
character, training, temperament
and talent of the Indian does not,
on the other hand, make him sue
cessful as farmer. Farming re
quires capital for building, ma,
chinery and live stock, and the
patience to wait, often for months,
to reap what has been sown. The
Indians are lacking in capital,
ability aud aptitude for agriculture
necessary to successful farming.
The Indian puts forth his best
efforts and meets with his fair
share of success when employed
by others who furnish the capital,
the tools and the managerial
ability. In other words as q
manual laborer he succeeds.
But the demand for manual labor
during the winter months in the
region inhabited by the Chippe.
was of Minnesota is chiefly in the
logging and numbering industry.
1t is we'll known fact, proven by
statistics and by first hand iLfor-
nation, that Minnesota is no longer
able to supply herself with timber
products; that the great pine and
hardwood forests of the state are
practically exhausted and that EN-
ployment in the woods cannot and
does not afford employment for
more than one able bodied Indian
in one hundred.
In years past the Indian Trader
was generally able to assist needy
Indian families during the winter
with supplies of clothing and food.
That time has gone by for the
reason that the Indian has long
since parted with his lands; his
chance to secure work in the woods
is gone with the vanishing of the
forest and he no longer can secure
the fish, fIrs and deer to exchange
for the traders goods.
For years past, therefore. every
winter is a period of suffering,
extreme hardship and, in some
cases, starvation for the Chippewa
Indians.
Some think that because the
Chippewa Indians received per
capita payment of 800 from their
tribal funds in the winter of 1924
that there exists no necessity for a
per capita payment this winter.
The Indians are in great need
of assistance every winter and es
pecially this coming winter.
The summer of 1924 was an ex
tremely cold and unfavorable
season for the growing and matur-
ing of all crops except small grains.
The Indians raise to an apbreciable
extent, only garden crops, corn
and potatoes. Garden crops. corn
and potatoes we're killed by the
early frost of August ID, 1924
This was the condition all over the
White Earth Reservation. 1t was
especially severe around Twin
Lakes, Rice Lake, Big Bend and
Ponsford. All of which are In
