NIAGARA FALLS. ~. Y. March
21.--Indians of the Six Nations of the
Iroquois living in western New York
State informed the Associated Press
yesterday that they intend to carry
on their fight for law granting them
unlimited right to cross the Canadian
border. despite the decision handed
down in Philadelphia Friday in effect
wiping out the boundary line for
them.
Although they hailed the decision,
which was rendered by Federal Judge
Oliver b. Dickinson. as a distinct
victory for their case. Indian chiefs
here declared it was only a stepping
stone to realization of their goal.
That, it was explained, Is to have a
law enacted amending the Johnson
immigration act of 1924 so as to re-
move North American Indians from
the same classification as Japanese.
Chinese and other aliens who cannot
become citizens.
The Philadelphia case involved Paul
Diabo, an Indian living in Quebec, but
SIX similar cases are awaiting decision
in Federal Court at Buffalo, and with
those the local Indians are particu,
larly concerned. These cases are
slated to come up next week.
The Indians here pointed out that
restrictions of the present immigration
law work particular hardship on them
because of the widespread scattering
of relatives on both sides of the Dor.

EDITORIALS

Professor Kelley Miller expresses
himself as holding the opinion that
slavery was no great disaster to the
black people but on the contrary it
had its decided benefits. There may
be much logic and common sense in
such reasoning, but we do not be-
lieve that it is sound. We hold slav-
cry to be so deadly as a curse and
we hold that none of the collateral
advantages that it might have
brought to us can compensate for the
untold suffering that we have been
forced to undergo. Civilization would
have eventually reached the coasts Of
Africa if the Dutch traders had never
sold us in slavery. The last world
war would have given darkest Africa
a glimpse Of the new world and we
are not so sure that the present day
civilization has been of any decided
benefit to the sable hued sons of AZ
RIGA. We would rather have seen
our forbears continue in their roles
as rulers of the jungles than to have
seen them crushed and beaten by the
sons of civilization. We cling to
the biblical idea that princes shall
come out Of Egypt"

Death, the Grim Reaper, Is taking
a heavy toll all along the wide sweep
Of the Mississippi. The "Father of
Waters" is on rampage. Follow
ing in its wake suffering is keen and
intenbe. Men, like human flies, are
working frantically to keep back the
rushing flood. Levees crumble as a
child's playhouse before the mighty
onrush of the water. Hundreds of
lives have been lost; millions of dol
lars worth of property wiped out as
the mighty waters of the Mississippi
flows toward the sea.
The cry for help comes from the
Mississippi Valley. Starvation, dis
ease and pestilence threaten to make
an already horrible situation worse.
The nouns of smitten people as
ccnd heavenward.
Relief agencies are struggling I'M
der heavy load. The victims of the
flood must be fed, sheltered and
clothed. Those who are sick must
have medical attention. The spread
of disease must be checked. These
things require money and plenty OF
it. The people in other sections of
this country must supply that need.
Regardless of how we feel toward
Mississippi, we should contribute as
much as we can to relieve the suffer
ing during these trying hours.

II is not only the rural Negro
who is leaving for the north, but
the cities of New Orleans and Bir'

workers steadily for the past few
months.
In Birmingham the situation Is

This condition has been going or

when water reached the top of tht

Some Of us feel that the hand of
God has been turned on the south
and that the great Mississippi river
is reaking vengeance on the south
crners. But no people have been
struck harder by the father of wa
tiers than our own. Death, destruc-
ton and poverty have followed the
overflow of water and If the great
divinity is inflicting punishment up
on southern society it is doing so
without discrimination. The Missis-
sippi is overlooking because of nat
ural forces and we believe we are
put here to work out our own desti-
mics. Too much superstition and ig-
norance has kept US from facing the
issues of life frankly. Cyclones,
lightning and disease as well as
floods strike us with as much reg
ularity as they do the southern white
man.

its energy in unholy things. The
south is move worried about brutal

south is more concerned about re-
fighting the civil war and heapinp

FINDS SHE'S SISTER
 0F FAMOUS ACTRESS
Obscure Woman Made Sole HeiI
 to Sl5,000 Estate

New York, Oct. 2S P(-An age ] and poor sister Of the late Clara Morris-famous emotional actress Of the sos and '90's-whom the tragedienne never saw since their parents, a serving maid and a cab man, parted in Buffalo when the children were babies, was named sole heir today to the actress S15,- 000 estate.
 Had it not been, however, for an apparently trivial entry in a diary of Clara Morris, speaking of lost pied with rheumatism and threat cned with blindness, might have lived out her life in her cheap West Side tenement, suffering privations of poverty alleviated only by $50 g. month pension paid for her dead husbands Civil war service.
 But now a surrogate has visited Mrs. Burts in her room that was more a hovel than a home. He took her testimony, considered docu- mentary evidence and at the end of the hearing, by the light which came through a begrimcd window half above and half below ground, Surrogate Slater signed an order declaring her the sister of Clara Morris and sole and legal heir to her estate.
 Identification Of Mrs. Burtis, who said she had an intuition she and the stage star were sisters, was

made through researches of George MacAdam, Clara Morris biograph- CT, His search, characterized by Surrogate Slater as the most pc, sistent and ingenious he had ever heard of, led him from a diary en- try to an unclaimed bank account at Buffalo, cemetery and pension records, old city directories, news paper files, policemen. expressmen and janitress.
 When Mrs. Burtis was asked why she had not visited her sister and mother if she had suspected the relationship. she replied:
 When I heard Clara was grow ing blind and was sick, I yearned to see her but I never did. l could not prove that I was her sister did not know that I was. l could not tell how I would be received"
 The father of Clara Morris was s, blacksmith turned cab-driver, her mother was a cook and servant Clara was born in Toronto. Ont. March r, 1S46. As a baby she was brought to Buffalo, where Eliza was born.
 Then, the tracing of the family history indicates, the father desert ed the family when Clara was less than three years old and Eliza nine months. Eliza was adopted by MT, and Mrs. Erny B. Burt, in whose care her mother left her. In Cleve- land, in 1852, the mother was en- gagged as nurse to a family named Bosworth, who took her daughter. Clara, to their hearts. It was at Cleveland that Clara made her stage debut.
 Mrs, Burt, Eliza's foster mother, died. Burt married again and his f second wife and his foster child failed to live in harmony. When Burt died the girl left the house hold and married George A. Bur lis, in New York. Burtis served with distinction in the Civil war with the 9th New York volunteers and the Duryea Zouaves. He died in 1898. In 1901 a pension was grant cd to his widow, Mrs. Eliza Burtis, and this, with what little assistance her ncighbors could give, was said to have been Mrs. Burtiss support.
