Picturesque and Brace

Mrs. Helen Tufts BaiIle Is
High in Society, but
Simple in Tastes.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

XXTASHINGTON, April l8.-MrS
w Tufts Bailie. the Boston Wo-
man who has been making the Off
cialS of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution so miSerable-Some
say ridiculouS-is as picturesque as
she is courageous.
The most impressive thing about
her appearance is the simplicity of
her dress. She is the wife of we'll
to-do manufacturer of wicker furni-
ture, descendant of James Otis, a
person entitled to social recognl-
ton and a woman of intelligence
and great personal charm.
In other words, she can afford to
dress as she likeS-and does!
Wears Simple Garb.
She came to Washington with her
appeal against the D. A. r. eXpul-
sion because of her blacklist pro-
test, wearing black straw hat with
black satin crown, beige cotton
stockings and plain black, low
heeled oxford shoes.
Over a plain, nondescript blue
dress she wore a long, gray knitted
sweater and rose scarf which
twined around her neck and fell be-
low her waist on each side.
Her gloves we're brown kid and
her coat an ordinary brown tweed
with shawl collar.
Looks Like Radical.
With unruly gray hair, tortoise
shell glasses and a healthy natural
complexion, Mrs. Bailie looks al
most as much a radical as the D.
A. r. has sought to make her look.
But her voice is soft and her
words very much to the point. She
is well equipped with modesty, poise
and facts.
And behind her she has a great
number of distinguished friends
most Of them named on the d. A. r.
"blacklists" or attracted to her by
the fight she made last year.

Indians Protest Ban
On Hunting Wild Game

Lapwai. Idaho, Feb. 9 R-Chief
Scott of the Nez Perez Indians,
friendly redmen of the northwest
when it was settled by whites years
ago, has informed state officials that
a hunting treaty signed so years ago
has been abrogated by new laws
of the Great White Father.
The tribal leader has appealed
to Il. L. Thomas, state game war;
den. to permit his braves to hunt
and kill wild game that abounds
near the Nez Perez reservation.
Present federal and state statutes
forbid the Indians from hunting eX-
cept during the regular season. The
old treaty, it is claimed, allowed
Indians to kill wild animals at any
time.
Chief Scott received little encour-
agement from state officials and
was advised to institute a case In
the United States supreme court to
determine if rights of the Indians,
as wards of the government, ware
not being violated by state and
federal game laws.

Familiar Faces to Be Missing
When Team Takes Field

New York, Feb. 8 (UP)-It may
be difficult to recognize the Cleve-
land Indians without numbers the
coming season.
The familiar figures of George
Burns, Homer Summa, Garland
Buckeye. George uhle. Emil Levsen;
George Gerken and Elton Langford
will be missing.
In building the Indians for the
coming campaign. Billy Evans, gen.
eral manager. and Roger Peckin-
paush. playing manager. have ac-
quired 20 new players out of IS on
the roster.
Lou Fonseca, who broke his leg
last season: Cliff Bolton, who hit
1916 for Terre Haute and Johnny
Hodapp, former third baseman, arc
contesting for first base. Carl Lind
will be stationed at second and Joe
Sewell will be moved from shNtstQp
to third base.
Jackie Tavener, obtained from De-
troit in the Uhle trade: John Bur-
nett. who hit 1926 for Terre Hautc:
and Jonah Gardner. who hit .270 for
Decatur, will fight it out for short
stop. Burnett is former University
of Florida football star and Is noted
for his speed. Gardner was regard
ed as the BEST; shortstop in the
Southern league last season.
The Indians are still searching
for some one to take the place of
Iris Speaker. They hope Dick Por-
ter, purchased from Baltimore for
$4,000. will be able 10 plug the
centerfeld gap. In eight years at
Baltimore Porter batted for a grand
average of .333. Charley Jameson
again will play left. but right will
have a new gardener, probably Earl
Averill. the $4,000 rookie from San
Francisco. Averill batted 1853 in
1925. 1874 in 1927 and .34S in 1926.
He hit 81 home runs last season.
Charley Dorrhan. who hit .40S for
the Tyler (Tex.) Lone Star league
club: John Gill, who hit .311 for the
Decatur Three-I league club; and
Ollie Tucker. who batted 1921 for
New Orleans. are other outfleld can
didates. Tucker has had trials with
Brooklyn and Washington. Ed Nor
gan, who suffered from injuries last

several with exceptional promise.

AGED MEN Collect
DATA ON LINCOLN
Documents nd Relics Fill House
Hhtrt Honest Abe" Died

Washington, Feb. s lF-Two men
who spend most of their time in the
house where Abraham Lincoln died
are probably more interested in the
anniversary of his birth than any,
one else in the country.
They are Osborne Oidroyd, aged
81. who has spent IS years collect
ing mementoes and documents re-
lating to the life of Lincoln, and
Lewis Gardner Reynolds. II. who
sat on Lincoln's knee as little boy
of six.
The government purchased the
entire Lincoln collection from Mr..
Oldroyd for the sum of $4,000 and
put Mr.. Reynolds in charge of it..
Mr.. Oldroyd. white-haired and fee
bic. still has his desk among the
relics as they have become his very
life.
- Past Looms Brightly
In the old house of dim recesses
and dim memories so far as the
thousands of sightseekers who pour
through are concerned. the past
burns brightly for the two men who
dwell there.
Through the windows where once
the cold morning light fell across
the deathbed of Lincoln, the sun
now gilds the bible his mother gave
him when he was nine years old.
1t is only one of the 5000 memen-
toes collected by Osborne Oldroyd
The halls and rooms are lined with
pictures of Lincoln. Glass cases
contain valuable papers. What Mr.
Oldroyd regards as the most Nalu-
able articles in the collection rest
under black cover in the front
room.
Lock OF Lincoln's Hair
There is lock OF Lincolns hair
cut after the body had been re-
moved to the White House from the
humble little home where he died.
There is the last message written
by Lincoln just two hours before he
was assassinated. 1t is merely 4
statement that passes are no longer
required to so from Washington to
Petersboro, Va, but momentous in
its significance as related to the last
acts of Lincoln's life.
With shaking hands Mr.. Oldroyd
sits at his desk lovingly handling
some of the papers bearing Lin
coins handwriting and tells of how
he started his vast collection. 1t is
one Of the ironies of fate that this
man who has devoted most of his
life to Lincoln never even saw the
great emancipation.
