Many Avenues Of 0p-
portunity for the Indian

There is some excuse for the old
Indian of today who failed to ad
just his life to the new way of liv-
ing. But to the young generation
of Indians, the avenues of oppor
tunity are greater in number,
wider in extent, easier of access
than evsr before existed. In the
past, before the white man came,
there were only three or four gen
eral avenues through which the
Indian could express himself. To.
day there are fifty and more.
The professions that do not
recognize color or creed except
the merit of your work are many.
Magazines flood the news stands in
every city and hamlet. Never was
the demand greater for stories and
articles, and the pay is good. Next
in line comes art. Cartoonists are
in great demand, commercial art
pays we'll. Character dancing is
still unexplored. Ted Shawn is
about the only male Indian dancer
now on the stage, and his pay very
near equals a movie stars salary.
Music is . great field for the In
dian. There are many Indians who
developing their different talents
along the art line. That many
succeeded is evidenced by our
large subscription list among In
dian artists. The technical and
industrial field is rich picking for

There are many independent
lines in business that a young In.

these is salesmanship. A good

salary is measured by what he

Wards.
(Elmira, N. Y, Advertiser)

Attorney Joseph w. Latimer,
author, publisher and father of
the Citizenship Bill, signed by
President Calvin Coolidge last
June, and nationally known as a
friend of the Indians of North
America, is spending the week at
Hornell as the guest of Frank l.
Knapp, president of the Central
Labor Union, at his home in
Prospect street. Attorney Lati-
mer married a Canisteo girl and is
also visiting there.
For Is years Attorney Latimer
was the private attorney for Dr..
Carlos Montezuma. Americas best
known Indian. DR.. Montezuma
was highly educated, He was a
medical graduate and in addition
to carrying on work in the inter-
est of his people, was sought as a
great stomach specialist. Dr..
Montezuma died in 1928 and since
that time Attorney Latimer has
carried on the work dedicated to
to him by DR.. Montezuma, on his
death bed.
Attorney Latimer gave an ac'
count of DR.. MoLtezuma's life.
Born of Apache parents in Ari'
zona he was what was known as a
wild Indian" DR.. Montezuma
was stolen by a neighboring tribe
of Indians, named Pimas, and later
sold to one of Americas best
known art students for $50, this
student being one of the founders
of the Chicago Art Society. His
home was in Boston, Mass.
After the death of the art stud
.ent DR.. Montezuma was adopted
by a clergyman in Champagne,
ILL.,, who educated the Indian lad.
At the present time Attorney
Latimer is centering his activities
on having the Bureau of Indian
Affairs abolished. He unhesitat-
ingly declares that it is a blot
upon Indian life and their affairs.
He claims that it is mismanaged.
Attorney Latimer is the pub
Usher of a monthly magazine on
Indian affairs. Throughout his
work he uses the slogan handed
down to him by DR.. Montezuma
of "Abolish the Indian Bureau
and Let My People Co."
Attorney Latimer is highly
educated and trained man. Here
would be an excellent opportunity
for civic bodies to hear him speak
on a worthwhile topic. He will
remain in the city until Saturday
night. His home is in New York
city but be spends part of the
time in Washington, D. G.

Jackson Barnett Brings
Suit in Federal Court
to Recover Trust Funds
Creek Indian Asks $50, 900 In Suit
Filled In Federal Court.

Jackson Barnett, Creek Indian
from Oklahoma, who now lives in
Los Angeles, Cal., has begun
suit in the federal court in New
York to recover a 5 $4,000 trust
fund; plus $4,000 annual interest
as part of his share of rents,
profits and royalties on Oklahoma
oil lands on which the five nations
of the Creeks leased to H. U.
Bartlett in 1922. J.
Defendants are the Equitable
Trust company of New York City;
the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion Society. Elmer S. Bailey of
Okmulgee, Okla; the Security
Trust and Savings Bank of of New
York; Hubert Work, as Secretary
of the Interior, and Charles H.
Burke, as Commissioner of Indian
Affairs.
Because he cannot read or write,
Barnett's wife has brought the
suit for him 1t is alleged that
Barnett's share of The oil land
contract was 81, 100000. OF this
sum, it is alleged the department
of the Interior invested 81. 100, 900
in liberty bonds to be held for
Barnett.
In December, 1922, says the
complaint, Barnett decided $780,
900 of this fund of liberty bonds
to his wife and 10 accordance with.
her wish, the department paid the
sum to the Baptist Mission So
ciety. The society deposited the
$3.50, 900 with the Equitable Trust
company under a stipulation that
the Indian was TO receive from it
an annual income of $4,000 for
life, the income to be paid through
the superintendent of the five
Creek tribes who also is the gov
ernment Indian agent,
Now, according to the com.
plant, the trust company refuses
to pay the income or to relinquish
the trust fund. Its officials, it is
complained, base their refusal on
the claim of Bailey that he was
appointed Barnett's guardian in
the county court of Okmulgee, and
has not since been disqualified or
discharged from the guardianship.
Another ground for refusal, it is
said, is that Carl j. O'Hornett of
Okmulgee, also is a guardian of
Barnett's, having been appointed
in 1912.
The Indian asks the court to
give the Equitable Trust company
absolute legal title to the $3.50, 900
and accumulated interest, and to
order the company to perform the
alleged agreement to render Bar
nett an accounting and to surrend-
er to him the income from the
trust and the original fund also.
