INDIANS HONOR
A. R. CLANCY

To express their deep gratitude
on behalf OF the American Indians
for the signal honor Of naming and
monograming q motor car after one
OF their most illustrfous leaders
Chief Pontiac--the Algonquin Indian
nation capitalized on the occasion
Of A. r. Glancy's recent visit to the
Pacific coast to make him a chief
of their federation.
The suggestion of these chiefs
came as a complete surprise to Mr..
Clancy, who is president and gen.
eral manager of the Oaklond Motor
Car Company, which is producing
and distributing the new Pontiac
six as q companion to the Oakland
six.
It is a rather singular fact that
the Pontiac six is the only motor
car to commemorate the aboriginal
American. For some time before
Mr.. Glancy's visit the Algonquin
Indian chiefs had felt that General
Motors and the Oakland Company
had secretly honored their nation

Mr.. Clancy was not only adopted
into the II tribes composing this
federation but also made a chief
and given the name "Chief Ponti-
ac." He is the second white man
ever to be honored by these In.
dams.
When the plan was first pre-
scented by the Indian chiefs, 1t was
suggested that the ceremonies could
be performed in the city park Of
Los Angeles. But the Indians would
have none Of II, stating that the
whole ceremony would be one Of
profound secrecy, and chose q So
cluded spot in Monrovia canyon.
Here amid q primeval background
OF wild exquisite beauty, at the
base of a mountain. blocked off and
guarded by. forest rangers to keep
out all not connected with the
secret rites, IL Indian chiefs, many
of whom had come from a great dis.
lance, marched solemnly around the
ceremonial fire, calling on their
warrior gods. This part of the dig
nified ceremonies lasted for q half
hour.
Following this. Mr.. CLANCY was
taken to the center of the circle
where each chief performed the
ceremonies of his tribe and pre-
scented him with certain gifts. One
was a granite knife, symbolic of
truth which was supposed to cut
away all dishonest traits and to
defend the possessor from enemies.
Another was a beautiful beaded

blanket to protect him from the
cold. Other presents included a
silver bracelet and personal tribal
ornaments.
After this he was adopted into
the various tribes and then elevated
to the position Of chief. He was
given the name of Chief Pontiac
and presented q hand worked
parchment containing the record of
the newly conferred honor.
After Mr.. Clancy had taken the
oath OF the warrior, Mad Wolf
gave him the pipe OF peace and
Chief Willow Bird placed on his
brow the feathered head dress. Mad
Wolf then presented him with a
granite knife.

As chief in the Algonquin
Nation. Mr.. Clancy has the honor
Of being a member of one OF the
greatest confederation Of Indians
that ever roamed the continent and
the only such existing today.
Though 300 years ago this nation
had its headquarters along the
banks OF the Ottawa river in on
tario, Canada, it was gradually
pushed westward with the advance
OF the white mans civilization.

embraced such powerful tribes as

 "On the contrary, I told him there was 8 finger print on the card" said Schwartz.
 Simpson then asked the witness: Suppose this card were found prop ped up against a tuft of grass or against the feet of MT. Hall and it was found two days later and then put in with other cards, would it erase the finger prints?"
 Tt would not" replied tho wit ness.
 "Is there any definite time prints must be made?"
 "No."
 What is the longest time you ever knew a print to be made of a finger print, after it was made?"
 Mine months"
 McCarter. taking the witness again for cross ss-examination, asked you said a finger print lasts nine months?"
 why it may last ten years" re- piled tho witness Quoting a book the prosecutor asked Schwartz If he read this book as an authority.
 q have not" said the witness, giv- ing a contemptious shrug as though he disliked such book authority.
 Simpson asked the witness who had done more than any other man to bring about the use of finger prints in the criminal courts of America.
 Schwartz Is Modest.
 'I think l can say I have had great deal to do with it," said Schwartz.
 He also conceded that Joseph A. Faurot, formerly of the New York city police force, also deserved share of the laurels for this work.
 Faurot is one of the three finger print experts being relied upon by the state in it's efforts to place Willie Sevents at tho scene of the murder. Schwartz left the witness stand after paying the compliment to himself and Faurot.

place them under glass?" asked Nc Carter.
 Nc" said Schwartz. "A man usually goes to the scene of the crime and makes a copy of the fingerprints there."
 Because that impression may be eradicated by time and weather?"
 Yes" answered the witness.
 To bring out whether the heavy grasping of an object makes a stronger fingerprint than the light grasping of calling card, McCArter, who is the oldest defense lawyer concerned in the case; dropped a card on the floor before the jury several times and picked it up re- peatedly. apparently to let the jury itself decide whether the experts statement was logical.
 Schwartz smiled, apparently amused, as the elder lawyer labori- ously picked up the card in his meticulous demonstration before the iury. {
 Willie Seems Happy.
 Willie Stevens was unusually gen. ial when he entered court. He ex- tended his hand-shaking even to the dgnified Robert H. McCarter, for mer attorney general. and chief of defense counsel, who did not appear over pleased at being interrupted in his nasty perusal of papers prepara- tory to the opening. The sharp tongue of Alexander Simpson, spe- cial prosecutor, cut a new descrip- tion of McCarter today. McCarter had chuckled when he thought Simpson failed to establish a point he was endeavoring to press in re- direct examination of Schwartz.
 T suppose I couldn't try this case without those ctuckles," said Simp- son. Sergeant Buzfuz seems to be at his best today"
 "Omit the personalities" ordered Judge darker.
 On redirect examination of Schwartz, Simpson laid the founda- tion for another support of the tes- timony of Mrs. Jane Gibson, the only admitted eyewitness of the killings.
 Robert Ehrling, yesterday testi- fled in his mumbling way that he had seen Mrs. Gibson in dark De Russey's lane. near the crabapple tree.
 Found HoOf Prints.
 Today, over the objection of the
New Britain herald., 1926-11-09

defense, Simpson brought from Schwartz the statement that when the latter entered the case as civil engineer, forty-four days after the killings, he had found the imprint oi an animals hoofs near the spot where Mrs. Gibson asserted she had tide her mule.
 Defense argued that this testi- mony could not be presented unless preceded by proof that tho condition of the ground had not been changed in the intervening forty-four days. It is the defense contention that the prints could have been made by an animal belonging to any one of the thousands of sightseers, who throng- ed the spot four years ago and car ried away the crabapple tree, bit by bit as well as grass, bushes and every slightest article which could be termed souvenir.
 Schwartz testified that he had found the two cedar trees and the stump, at which Mrs Gibson as- serted she tied her mule, and that the hoof- prints were nearby.
 The court refused to let the state draw from the witness the reason why he quit his investigation at the scene of the crime after only one days work.
 Card Causes Clash.
 A calling card of the Rev. MT Halls. bearing no finger prints and which Schwartz said he got and kept as souvenir, was the cause of another of the frequent clashes between Simpson and McCarter. Simpson, in contending that ques- ton he had asked should stand. said that the defense attorney intimated that Schwartz had concealed evi- dence and in effect charged the fingerprint expert with malfeasance in office.
 Simpson, in an effort to offset the defense's move to discredit the im- portance of a calling card alleged to bear the imprint of Willie Stevens left index finger. put to the witness in redirect examination, questions to show the whereabouts of the card while in Schwartz's possession.
 What did you do with the card while in your possession" Simpson asked.
 T photographed it and then com pared it with fingerprints in our collection to see if any of them matched it." said the witness.
 Yesterday Schwartz had said that there are fingerprints of 5000 crim- inals and suspects in the Jersey City police department. This number fails to give the clue to the slayers of the Mir. Hall and Mrs. Mills.
 Denies Making Denial.
 Schwartz today denied ever telling John R. Phillips Jr., an attorney of Asbury Park, N. J., that there was

 Referring to the seating of Sena- tors-elect Ware and Smith, who figure prominently in the primary slush fund investigations, Senator Copeland said they will never be seated.

BE S T RECEIPTS
SINCE YEAR 1920

ANY reports which have been cir
culated throughout the city that the
Douglas postoffice is to be relegated
to second-class and the salary of the
postmaster reduced accordingly, are
emphatically denied by Acting Post
master Charles Foster.
He states:
"Strange to say these reports are
mot coming from anyone connected with
the local office, who are the only per-
sons in a position to know the facts.
II feel that the circulation of such
reports is an injury to Douglas. The
business of the postoffice is good
barometer by which to judge the bus
mess life of city or community. 1t
postoffice receipts were falling off to
such an extent that the office would
be reduced to second class, below Phoe-
nix, Tucson, Prescott and Bisbee, and
in the same class. as Wilcox and Tomb
stone, it would not be indicative that
Douglas is going forward or that bus
mess conditions had improved or are
improving. Instead it would be the
very best evidence that Douglas had
taken a decided step backward.
but such is not the case. NO pack
ward step has been taken. Postofficc
receipts for the first five months OF
this year are the highest of any year
since 1920 Last year, 1925, was a
banner year and the receipts exceeded
the reuirements for a first class Of
flee by wide margin. But 1925 is
still better. The receipts for the first
five months of this year are nearly
$1,000 in excess of the same period
last year and $1238.54 in excess of the
first five months of 1921. The re-
ceipts reached the lowest record in
1922, yet the office remained in first
class. This year the office is $3675.59
ahead of the same period in 1922.
