POLICE ATTACK
MILL STRIKERS
Had Come to Boston to
See Gov. Fuller

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. a.
The committee of forty textile
strikers, on their way through the
Boston Commons to the State House
to keep their appointment with Gov
ernor Alvin Vt. Fuller, Sacco-Vanzetti
murderer, were yesterday attacked
by a squad of police who injured
many by their onslaught. The
strikers were singing strike songs
and were displaying banners de-
manding an end to the New Bedford
and Fall River police terror.
After the workers were slugged
by the police, an announcement was
made public that the committee
"came too late to see the governor
but that he would be willing to hear
them Wednesday morning.

DRESS WORKERS
meet IN PHILA
Sigman Rushes There
to Save Henchmen

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Waist
and dressmakers here will rally at
a mass meeting to be held tonight
in Garden Hall, Seventh and Morris
Sts., for the purpose of establishing
local branch of the National Or
ganization Committee of Cloak and
Dressmakers. Louis Hyman, Joseph
Borachovich, Rose Wortis and B.
Kaplin, leaders of the National Or
ganization Committee, will come
here from New York to address the
workers.
Careful preparations were made,
the committee arranging the meeting
declares, to assure the assembled
workers that no organized squad of
right wing hirelings can disturb the
meeting. A similar mass meeting
held last week was ordered to dis
perse by the police who were openly
doing the bidding of right wing
officials. The Sigmanites first be-
J gan disturbance in order to pro-
vide the police with an excuse for
breaking up Cne meeting.
Sentiment among the workers
runs so high since the interrupted
meeting last week, that the right
wing officials have sent hurry call
to New York for Sigman to come to
Philadelphia.
Reliable information received
states that Morris Sigman and Jul
ius Hochman, the discredited heads
of the defunct International left yes
terday for Philadelphia, where the
waist and dressmakers are to hold a
mass meeting under the auspices of
the National Organization Com
mittee.

FIVE BULLETS
TAKE LIFE OF
FRANK BONITA
Lewis Machine Seen as
Real Murderer Of
Progressive
Brother of Sam Bonita
Shooting on Eve of Big
Mine Meet

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept.
4.-On the eve of the National
Miners Convention to build a
new union, the bloody corpse
of Frank Bonita, brother of
Sam Bonita, now in the peni-
tentiary on framed charges,
has been thrown down as a
challenge to the coal miners of
the country.
Five bullets from the re-
volver of a man alleged to have
been an agent of the Lewis
machine, now under arrest, struck
down the progressive leader with
calculated ferocity reminiscent of the
murders of Thomas Lillis, Pat Reilly
and Alex Campbell, his fellow pro-
gressives.
Veil of Secrecy
Ross Milo, alias Roasario Chiodo,
Bonita's alleged murderer, and Joe
Mogentale, boarder in Bonita's
home are in the Mid-Valley Hospital
with wounds in the hands and thigh.
Paul Schellegis, another man, also
suspected with the killing is under
arrest,
In spite of the curious veil of
secrecy which invests the affair and
which the authorities have so far
done little to dispel, the bloody and
devasted dining of the Bonita
home is mute evidence of the terri
fic battle which the progressive
leader made for his life as well as
of the determination of his murderer
to "get" him at any cost.

30-DAY Term FOR
POOR MRS. KNAPP
But G. O. P. Embezzler
May Not Even Serve

ALBANY, Sept. 4.-Convicted of
grand larceny and embezzling funds
in her administration of the state
census of 1925, Mrs. Florence E. S.
Knapp, former REPUBLICAN secretary
of state, was today sentenced to
serve 80 days in Jail.
Mrs. Knapp, who was until quite
recently dean of Home Economies at
Syracuse University, had hoped to
avoid even this light Jail sentence by
feigning illness. This she may yet
accomplish, her lawyers feel conf
dent, when they will attempt to OBJ
tain a certificate of reasonable
doubt with bail pending appeal from
Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. Sta
ley on Saturday.
Mrs. Knapp was convicted on a
specific charge of embezzling S29,-
500, but testimony during her trial
revealed the fact that huge sums,
entirely unaccounted, were stolen
under her administration as a result
of padded payrolls and other meth
DDS of graft. Numerous of her rela-
tives were on the state census pay
roll, the majority of them not even
having been assigned to jobs. A
step-daughter of Mrs. Knapp testi-
fled that a check for several thou
sand dollars made out in her name
was not even known to her, Mrs.
Knapp having endorsed it and pock-
eted the proceeds.
Mrs. Knapp was taken to the wo-
mems detention room in the Albany
County Jail, where she will remain
today. She will be assigned to a
regular cell in the women's section
tomorrow, it is announced.

ADMIT D'0LIER
VITAL WITNESS
Commissioner Says "He
Knew Much"

Police yesterday continued to
shadow-box in the investigation"
of the mysterious death of William
J.. D'Olier, sewer enpineer, whose
body was found in a lonely spot in
Queens Sunday morning.
First considered a suicide, it has
now become increasingly clear that
D'Olier was murdered The specific
reason was casually suggested yes
terday by former Commissioner
Shearn, who had charge of the sec
ond Queens sewer investigation.
The connection between the Santa
tion Company of which D'Olier was
president and the $29, 800, 900
Queens graft situation was Every
important and D'Olier knew all
about it, admitted Shearn yester-
day.
Connolly Speaks Up.
At the same time Maurice Con-
molly, deposed borough president of
the Queens, who up till now has
maintained an extremely discreet
silence on the probable cause of
D'Olier's death, volunteered the in
formation that the dead sewer man
had been "keenly disappointed by
the failure of negotiations to close
q $15,000,000 paving contract in
Kentucky"
The Suicide" theory is being
strongly advocated by the Queens
graft ring, whose most conspicuous
practitioner is Connolly, and all 9TH
ers who ha9 business relations with
Connolly during his efflorescent ad-
ministration.
This group received serious jolt
when it was definitely established
chat D'Olier's brief case, which he
carried when he left his home in
Pelham, N. y, Saturday afternoon,
was not found with his body.
Refute Police.
A number of Queens residents
who saw D'Olier's body when it was
discovered insist that there was vir-
tually no blood on the ground under
the body, and disagree fundamen-
tally with New York detectives who
claim the contrary.
Yesterday the theory gained
ground that D'Olier might have
been shot in an automobile and his
lody then carried to the spot where
it was found

Industry received no reward; idleness no pc na!ty. Money due the tribe under u @ treaty was paid with more or less regularity, generally in ratiOns, sometimes in guns and ammunition to fight the whiteman with or scalp irg knives to take from his head 6 trophy of battle The forms of ir- dustry to which the men were ac stomed-hunting and trapping gradually disappeared; little O. nothing was done to teach nev forms of industry or to inspire the men to undertake them.
 From the reservation all the cur rents of civilization were excluded by the federal law. The railroad, t.le telephone, the telegraph, the news paper, the open merket, free com pCtition--all halted at it's walls.
 Py favor of the government, gen arally freely granted, the missionary was allowed to establish a church, or Christian philanthropy to plant school in the reservation. But as an educated Indian was rather imped ed than aided in the tribal cOmmuni- ty by education, neither the church nor the school could do more than sIye individuals from population shut up by law to the general cOndi- tons of barbarism.
 No courts sat in these reserva, tiOns: no warrants from local courts ourside could be executed; no In- dian, if wronged, could appeal to any court for redress. Such law as existed was administered by an In dian agent, a person of ill-detined and to the Indian mind, of illimit- aNle power.

 The Indian must take his chance With the rest of the people in the United States His rights must be protected by law; his welfare look eG after by philanthropy; but pro- terted by law and befriended by phil an' hropy, he must plunge into the current of modern life and learn to liTe by living. The tepee will nev- CT fit him for the house, nor the ca noe for the steamboat, nor the trail for highways and railroads, nor tr2pping and hunting for manufac- tues and husbandry. Imagine if We should pursue towards our immi- grants the policy that has been pur- s,.ed towards the Indans-shut the Poles, the Hungarians, the Italians the Germans, the Scandinavians, each in a reservation allotted to them. and fcrbidding them to go out into the free life of America until trey had Americanized themselves How long will the process take h. definitely!
 Cease to treat the Indian as a red man and treat him as a man. Treat him as the Poles he Hungarians, tho Italians, etc., have been treated Many of them are no better able to t2ke care of themselves than the In- dians; but we have thrown upon thnm the responsibility of their own custody, and they have learned to live by living The lazy grow hun gry, the criminal are punished, and tie industrious reward themselves
 It may seem that I have been a long time coming to any definite answer to remedy the difficulties of the American Indian student.

In those memorable times the

The romance of Lady Hamilton

been told in many ways and what
ever the opinion that exists or may
have existed III the time of its Oc-

was one Of the most striking in
history. The character OF Lady
Hamilton Is one OF many facets
