Sending Old Folks to Poorhouse
 Is Honorable

Copenhagen. Denmark. July 5- R-Sending parents to the poor house is considered a privilege in Denmark.
 Here the care of the old Is re- garded as duty of the state.
 Perhaps the most famous "poor house" in the world Is the Old Peoples Town. on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Founded in 1919 by Burgomaster Viggo Chrisenson, it offers shelter to any citizen of Co., penhagen, man or woman, who is more than 65 years old, provided the citizen has never been punished by law or received other poor relief. Such an inmate retains all privileges of citizenship, including political rights and votes.
 There are no restrictions to life in Old Peoples Town. The inmates go and come as they pelase and receive their room and board. clothing. laundry and medical attention. If they have no income at all they even receive a small weekly sum for pocket money. .,.
 Persons are accepted for mem- bership with incomes up to $500 a year, but they are charged 8 small sum in proportion to their income.
 There are 5SS men and S23 wom- en inmates. The oldest woman is Grandma" Paulsen, who is 9S years old. The inmates are housed by number of well-furnished buildings in group around a pie turesque church. Gardens and flow CT beds and offer source of volun- tary exercise and recreation.
 The town has it's own assembly hall and cinema, and noted actors, musicians and other entertainers often give free entertainments. In the hall is a collection of paintings by famous Danish artists.
 ~ Expenses of the town are met by the state and municipality to- gether. including the salary of a chaplain. who is also the librarian.
 The "citizens" are made up of all lasses-governmen officials who have retired on small pensions, su- perannuated business and profess sional people and destitute work men.

Washington, July 1 Pl-The con- troversy over the manner of Major General George A. Clusters death in the battle of little Big Horn 51 years ago raises no question in the mind of Brigadier General Edward s. Godfrey, retired.
 General Godfrey, who lives at Cookstown, N. J., took part in the battle as a first lieutenant of K troop with Capt. F. w. Benteen's battalion, which went to the rescue of Major Marcus A. Reno's detach- ment. He is a famous Indian fight CT in his own right, and is widely recognized an as authority on the historic enga cement. He was mas ter of ceremonies at the fiftieth an- niversary re-enactment of the bat tie in Montana in June last year.
 Writing in the Cavalry Journal, he describes as bunk the state ments recently published that Gus ter, finding himself the only sur vivor of his detachment, took his own life.
 Some of the statements of these Suicide mongers' sound like camp gossip or rumors that are banded about and then accepted by some credulous persons as facts he says. Tn q book which, I think, is en- titled "The North American 1ndian,' the author made statement to the effect that IT dians never scalped q suicide. Since then some of these sensational writers have used thatt statement as a basis for their dra- matic stories.'
 Questioning Chief Gall, one of the Indian leaders in the battle, as to the reason Custer was not scalped, General Godfrey says the famous Sioux told him he did not know, unless it was because he (Custer) was the Big Chief and that they respected his rank and his bravery"
 Godfrey, himself. under orders from Major Reno to help identify the dead on Custer Hill after the battle. recalls that the first body

DEMOCRATS CLASH
IN DRY LAW DEBATE

ia clashing interchange Of views
on States rights in general and pro.
hibition in particular by three Demo.
cratic party leaders-Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia, Gov. Albert c..
Richie of Maryland and William
Gibbs McAdoo of California-came as
a climax of the first week of the Uni
versity of Virginia's Institute of Pub
lie Affairs.
Speaking at a general conference
here this afternoon, Mr.. McAdoo be-
gan the discussion by studied pres
entation of the question of the rela-
tionship between private rights and
public authority. His statements car
ried no direct reference to prohibition,
but this issue was forced to the front
when the question was raised as to
whether the unit for the enforcement
of public authority should be the
State or the Federal Government.
Started by ROsewater.
This question OF the unit through
which authority should be exercised
was first propounded by Victor Rose.
water former editor of the Omaha
Bee. He was followed by Gov. Richie.
who, after explaining that he agreed
with Mr.. McAdoo in principle, added
that the community which should set
tie such questions, as under our Gov
eminent they have always been local"
is not the Nation as a whole, but the
particular community these questions
affect.
For instance" he continued, II be-
leVe that questions like prohibition
the regulation Of child labor and edu-
cation are matters which, under our
form Of government, should be set
tied and can be settled best by each
State. The people of my State ought
not to be required to accept a decision
of this kind which is forced upon
them by the people of other communi
ties and States"
Liquor has no rights that any
body should respect" said Senator
Glass, who traced the dry movement
through the era of local option down
to the present. He said that when
Virginia had become dry as COM

predicted that it will not be a party
