WASHINGTON COP
 UPHELD BY CHIEF
Supported in His Drive Against
 ImInOdeSt Women

Washington, Oct. s.-(Pl-Faced by a modern problem perhaps as wclghty as some of those which con- fronted his grandfather of Civil War fame. Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant, 3rd, di- rector Of public buildings and parks, yesterday upheld one of his police men who requested a young married woman to lower her skirts while seated on a park bench.
 Col. Grant said, however, 1t was impossible for him to say how short woman's dress may be without making her conspicuous or attracting public attention in the parks"
 The decision came after a closed hearing in which Mrs. Ross w. Kel- Ter, 2S. complained that Park Po- liceman J. B. Lawler had ordered her to pull your dress down" while seated in Franklin park with her husband last Wednesday, and that the act greatly embarrassed her.
 While Mrs. Keller had not com mitted an 'arrestable offense," Col. Grant held that Lawler had done his duty" He said that circum- stances must govern each case of this kind, however, and that when q policeman notices that a woman is attracting attention it "is only an act of kindness for him to call her attention to the fact"
 The evidence, he added. indicated that Lawler was entirely courteous. that he spoke first to the woman's husband, and when the latter refus- cd to speak to his wife, called Mrs. kellers' attention to her skirts in "a gentlemanly way"
 Lawler was said to have testified that a. prominent politician" asked him to speak to Mrs. Keller The latter, after the hearing, thought at least she was entitled to an apology but Col. Grant did not think this necessary.

US. TO DISPLAY
 AT EXPOSITION
Sending Exhibit to Event in
 Spain

Washington, Oct. $. (Pl-In tri- bute to the influence of Spain on the colonization of cultural develop ment of the United States, the Spanish Mission style of architec- 'ure will be used in American ex- hihition buildings at the Interna- tional Exposition in Seville. Spain, in 1928.
 The commission in charge of this country's display at the Span ish expositions, headed by former Gov. Thomas F. Campbell of Ari- zona, has designated William T. Johnson of San Diego, Calif.. as architect and has planned com rrehensive group of exhibits show ing activities Of the American government. notably in agriculture and scientific endeavor. Private commercial exhibits from the United States will be housed in other exposition buildings.
 The American buildings will in clude one permanent and two tenn porary structures, and after the 
 fair the permanent structure will house the American consulate Ut Seville.
 The exposition, which starts October 12, 1928, will include the Ibero American nations of the world. All the South American re- publics will be represented.
 Seville, with population of o5O,00o, is the largest city and the commercial center of southern Spain. In it's cathedral lie the tones of Columbus, who. sailed for America from the littA port of Palos, only a few miles away. From this region came most of the carly settlers of Cuba, Florida and California, and for many years Seville was the only port from which vessels for America were allowed to clear.

olution broke out. but some of the natives went westward of their own accord. The Burgoyne-St. Leger campaign, the sesqM-contennial of which has been celebrated this year, came in 1777. with the Mohawks taking the side of the British. The Iunxis emigrants, having espoused the American cause, were driven off and sought temporary refuge at Stockbridge but later returned to the west.
 White Settlers Buy Land
 The difficult question of selling the land was settled in the same year. Trouble arose from the fact that the Indians owned the property as tribe and no fair distribution of the proceeds could be made. But the land was divided up among the fl persons then left in the tribe and sales began, the sellers gradually moving away, Tie Wangunk claims were cleaned up in 17S5 and this race passed out of existence. By 16O6 only few Tunxes were left In Pennington under the supervision of an overseer, most of them having removed westward. In 1881 a fur ther removal to Green Bay. Wiscon- sin, took place, and Tunxis tribe, as such, passed out of notice.
 The last member of the Tunxis nation listed on the church records was Thomas Curcomb, who died in 1920, but the real Hast of the Tun- Hes" was Henry Mossuck. who was q sad speciment to close the history of a race. Convicted of theft, he became a seaman for period, but returned and was implicated in murder. but the sentence of hang ing was commuted. After serving l7 years in prison, Mossuck was re- with him admitted that he had nothing to do with the rrinl> and in 1883 the Tunxis race came to an inglorious end when Mossuck died in the Pennington poorhouse.
 Numerous finds of arrowhead ds, tomahawks, pottery, and other In dian articles have been made in New Britain, Pennington, Plainville, and Berlin and many implements are still coming 10 light, but these mute relics are the only traces re- maining of Indian tribes which from first to last befriended the white man as few Indian groups did.

 But he will tell you of his opinion of Plutarco Gales. president of Mexico. and General Alvara Obre- gon. with whom he was allied when CarranZa was overthrown.
 "Assa ssins," he mutters when he thinks of the relatives and friends who have met death and the ruin of his own political aspirations since Gales and Obregon first came into power in the southern republic.
 The world should now recognize that Gales and Obregon will stop at no obstacle in furthering their political power" he said today.
 They are now engaged in killing of all the men of influence in Mexi- co-the very flower of the nation. No name fits except 'Assa ssins'"
 or his brother. Alfonso, whose bullet-r -riddled body was on exhibi- tion in a public square at Nogales, Sonora, De La Huerta said:
 He died because he dared dis agree with the tyrannical doctrines of the present regime and he was my brother so Gales and Obregon wished 10 be rid of him.
 Personal advices to me indicate that he was not killed in battle. as the official communication stated. Rather he was kidnapped, shot be fore a firing squad and without a trial. He was assassinated.
 Even had he been actively lead irg troops against the Gales govern ment his execution would be a vio- lation of law"
 The death of General Francisco Serrano was the cause and not the result of present revolutionary ac- tivi,ies. the former Mexican official asserted.
 "Serrano was a power In politics. He stood an equal chance of receiv- ing the presidential election. Gales and Obrcgon want no others 10 hold that office--so he was executed.
 Outraged followers of Serrano then instituted armed opposition 10 the government. Gales and Ohre son are very strong, They seem 10 be victorious now but power founded as theirs is cannot stand for long"
