which he has so capably and effectively
served, has ever been his watchword.
BY his devotion to duty and by his
earnest and ever-apparent effort to CO.

has endeared himself to all of his asSo-
ciates, who will deeply regret his trans
fer from the, active to the retired list,

ter within generation of the conquest
The manuscript is an account book,
probably kept at q Spanish mission, of
the sources and disposition Of the
communal fund" of a Mayan village
near Lake Amatitlan in Guatemala.
How much of the culture it pictures
was original with the Indians and how
much OF Spanish importation is I'M
known.
The Communal fund" of the VIII
lage was derived from tributes, fines
paid by lawbreakers and sale of the
product of community corn field. 1t
was used for purposes somewhat the
same as those of the community chest
in modern American cities. Part was
used for the entertainment of distin-
guished visitors-neighboring chiefs,
Spanish ofilcials, etc. An exact account
was kept Of the prices paid for food
Tor these entertainments - bananas,
chickens, turkeys, frogs, iguanas, etc.
A fair banquet could be provided for
about IS cents in American money.
The money also was used, quite in
the spirit of the community chest, for
the care Of the towns orphans. There
were approximately 80 of these cared
Tor from the public funds between 1859
and 1855, the time covered by the ac-

more than 300 entries were found in
the book.
But it by no means follows that
community chests" were a feature of
the lost civilization. It looks like an
importation Of the Spanish priests who
kept, the account book in Magyar, Aztec
and Spanish-although the Magyar
civilization itself, recent researches
have shown, was by no means beneath

BUFFALO. N. Y, March 1.-Among
the Indian chiefs of the six nations

in the LonghouSe at Akron, and petit
tons were being prepared to the Great
White Father at Washington, protesting
against a plan TO take jurisdiction of
Indian reservations from the United

Chief Frank D. Williams, turtle chief
of the TuScarora Tribe, and other
Indian chieftains of the six nations
see in the proposal plan to take from
the Indians the Onondaga Reservation
near Syracuse and turn it into water
power site. Under the United States
laws, that property could not be con-
demned for such a purpose.
The proposal to give Jurisdiction Of
Indian reservations to the State is con-
tanned in a bill, introduced in the House
of Representatives by Bertrand G. Smell
Of PotSdam. Six nations Indians
meeting this week at the Allegany
Reservation at Cold Springs, decided
to send representatives to Washington
to oppose the bill. So have the Indians
on the Tonawanda Reservation and at
Akron. The Senecas, the Onondagas
