Major Roman Lost

Major St. Roman and Lieutenant Mouneyres of France in May of this year were lost Tn an attempt at a flight similar to that which Costes and Le Erik have just completed successfully. Starting from St. Louis. Senegal, they were never heard from again. Late in June the wreckage of an airplane thought to be theirs was found in the mouth of the Amazon. There was no trace of the aviators.
 Thus two Frenchmen have sue ceeced where two lost their lives, in an airplane. the ''Nungosser- Coli" named for still two other French fliers, unheard from since they left Paris May on an attempted non- stop flight 10 New York

lower Nfeboats. One ferry landed 13 survivors at the Battery while the second. bound for Staten Island rescued several others. Eight were picked up by the Paris.
 The hunt for survivors continued through the night, long after the silent waters of the man channel, the busiest steamship lane in the world, had completely submerged the froighter.
 The Paris stood through the night at quarantine. several miles away, and resumed it's voyage to Hayre at a. m after immigration men had removed the eight rescued survivors. The liner was not damaged. Cap tain Yves Thomas reported the crash by wireless to police head quarters before the voyage was re- stunned.
 Captain. Ludwig Hassell of the freighter, his wife and his four year-old son were rescued by a ferryboat and taken to the Marine JlDSplidi. oiutl Sl!l IVY ol9 "'lb 'I'"'- ed at St. Nincent's hospital on Staten Island and at the Battery.
 Three possible causes of the col lision were advanced by witnesses; a strong northwest wind which swept across the upper bay, an ebb tide which at the point where the collision occurred runs with consid- erable strength, and the sunken hulk. lying a short distance away, of a freigh-er which went down in the channel last fall, about half mile from the Statue of Liberty
 Observers were of the opinion that all three of these causes might have contributed in the crash making the handling of the big liner difficult task.
 The sinking Of the Pcssoggon raised another obstacle in the direct path of harbor traffic to the sea, resting in a position with the first sunken ship almost sufficient to block the entire channel. To avoid the two hulks, authorities said, it will be necessary for traffic to swing perilously close to the mud banks on Governors Island.

 The Rcsseggen, registered at Stein Norway, had been in the service of the American-Cuban line of this city, bringing sugar from Cuba. The vessel had sailed from Cardenas Cuba, on Sept. 19, and had been anchored in the upper bay below the Statute of Liberty since Oct. ?, presumably awaiting place at a pier.

EXPERT ASSESSOR
 AIM OF PETITION
Appeal for Special Town Meet ing Being Signed in NeWington

Newlngton. Oct, 15.-Dissatisfac- ton over the manner in which property Is assessed in Newington has eliminated in the circulation of petition for the purpose of having lrst SeleClman James C. Gilbert Call special town meeting to take , up the question of engaging an ex- bert assessor to go over the assess MeAts to be made this year. John ! t. Cottcr Of the Center is circulat- Ing the petition.
 The matter has been brought up several times during the past few years but no definite action has ever been taken on the matter. Those responsible for the petition feel that the taxpayers as whole would benefit by such an assess Iuvnt.
 The subject was not taken up at the adjourned town meeting Tues day because 1t was not included in the call.
 Hose On Fire Truck Useless
 L4- AtA t49uI OL tut ltHu lIudUCo board to approve an appropriation of $500 to buy GOO feet of hose for the volunteer fire department has aroused q great deal of criticism in town and is the main topic of dis cusalon where taxpayers gather. It was learned last night that the hose which is now carried on the Are truck is useless because it burst while being used in a fire recently. The volunteer fire department is practically crippled and in case Of a fire would be of no use. it is said.
 Much misunderstanding has arisen over the disapproval of the finance board of the appropriation of the $100. IL is reported that when the matter came before the finance board three members were against the appropriation. Two others were not in favor but declined to discuss the matter. However, because it was the sense Of the town meeting that such an appropriation be made, the finance board will hold meeting and reconsider the project.

The Speech of Necklace
However cruel. however superstitious

standing Of this nation of aborigines,
they were, nevertheless, human; they
were fathers and mothers, brothers and
sisters; they were home and peace-loving.
Their story is long and sad one. They
had made many treaties, only to find
them continuously broken by the white
people. Yet, despite these iniustices,
they desired to forego open hostilities
against the invading white race, if war
could possibly be avoided. This fact was
very ably voiced by the ELOQUENT
speech of the Sioux Chief, Bone-Neck-
Lace, before the Northwest Treaty Com
mission at Fort Sully, D. T., in 1866. The
aged leader said:

Almost every historian Of the OLD west
has brought forth his own version OF
the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Of
which the 25th of this month marks the
fifty-first anniversary. There is perhaps
no event in American history which has
been so much belied exaggerated and
distorted. Until recent years, very little
has been said of the redman's version Of
the deplorable tragedy. Chief Gall, one
of the finest specimens of American In

leader of the red forces during the bat
tie against Clusters command, and his
version of the terrific conflict, although
brief, is intensely interesting.

But it all comes back to me now
Listen! I will tell you of a great
prophecy which today is
coming true:
Long Hairs Prophecy
MANY winters ago-so many that he
was a very old man when was your age,
there lived among the Crows a great
medicine man and chief called Is-she-u-
huts-ki-tu, or Long Hair as the white
man called him. Before Long Hair died,
he warned our people that there are
three things that will come to pass. First
there will come a night longer than was
ever known upon the earth before. Next
the wolves will become so numerous that
they will fill the lodges of the Crows and
devour their horses. Lastly, the white
numbers, will swarm over the land of
the Crows in such numbers as the Crows
never imagined Of any people. After
wards, the Crows shall decay and never
be so powerful as in the past
Long Hair died. Then, one morning,
after the Sun had started His walk
across the sky, there came sudden
darkness which lasted for some time.
Thus. the first prophecy came true.
MANY SHOWS following this, there
came a severe winter and the wolves be-
came SO numerous that they swarmed
into the Crow camps in such numbers
that our people could not leave their
lodges Our horses were eaten at their
plcketS. Long HAIRS SecOnd prOpnecy
had been fulfilled"
The Last Sign
The spirit voice then paused for
moment. as if for reflection, and then
proceeded: And then, my son, after
many moons, the Crows one day dis
covered an immense wagon train with
many white people-crossing through the
country along the eastern slopes Of the
mountains. Soon another train was seen
coming from the southeast. Then it was,
too my boy, that the 'freboats' came up
Big river loaded with white people. Pres
emily our people found the country to
the north and west of them teeming
with people of a new race.
Long Hairs final prophecy had come
true.
ut was not possible, my son, for me
to sit idly by with the grim prospect that
my people would be forced to starvation
without a home, without food and driven
/ from the land we loved.
Nov, boy, go to the Sand Hills. Go
you with your mother and sister to your
people Long Hairs prophecy is coming
. .true. Perhaps it is the will of the Great
