FOray Into Two Counties.
A series of raids in Brown and

federal prohibition agents Orr,
Huntington, Rukes, Allender and
Develin failed to net any stills or
any large quantities of liquor.
Four of the men who we're raided
had sold liquor to a stool pigeon in
the employ of federal agents pre-
vious to the raids, it is alleged, and
these we're charged with sale and
possession. They are Lon LawlesS,
Enoch Robertson, Arch Witt and
Herchel Mobley. All of them have

DRY LAW FAILS,
ALEXANDRIA s
TEST SHOWS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. 30
The records of the police depart
ment for the past five years show
that, except for a means of rails
ing revenue, the prohibition law
has not been much Of a success.
Instead of a decrease in the
amount of drunkenness, there has
been a 10 per cent increase in
the number of convictions for
drunkenness on the street, viola.
tionS of the dry law and driving
under the influence of liquor dur.
ing the period.
For the year 1924, when the
department first commenced keep
ing an accurate record Of arrests,
there were $50 arrests for
drunkenness on the street or in a
public place which in the year
lust ended had increased to 944
During the same period arrests
for violating the dry law increas-
ed from 282 to 470 and in 1923
a new all-time record for liquor
arrests was made when $50 per
sons were tried on liquor law
charges.
Local police officers were re-I
moved from the fee class in 1925
when city ordinance which
paralleled the state law was

an increase in salary to offset

The other delegation, which
the Rev. j. w. Townsend, pastor
of the Calvary Methodist Church,
represents, will ask that a new
high school be erected either in
Virginia Highlands or Aurora
Hills.
The citizens claim that with
the loss of the George Mason
high school. it is unreasonable to
ask that they attend the Wash

now more than overcroWded and
especially hard to reach.
The board has received from
the county engineer. C. L. Kin

Arlington county is the only
county in the country owning

system and it is hoped there
may be a material increase in
the number of house connections
in order that the proposed re

$24 to $22 a year. with an ad-
ditional reduction of so cents pro-
Viding water bills are paid with

may go into effect.
The report shows that there
are now 1920 miles of service
main and lateral lines laid with
in the county. The total receipts
including the bond issue of
$750,00O. totals S1,O62, 1874. The
total expenditures to date equal

PROPOSAL WILL
Be FOUGHT BY
CITIZENS

FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. 30.-The
impending abandonment of the
Mt. Vernon branch of the Mt. Yer
non, Alexandria and Washington
Railway may result in protest of
citizens affected when the plea for
abandonment comes up before the
State corporation commission at
Richmond on February 4.
The branch. which opened in
1892, is now being given up because
of the competition of the bus lines
and the obstruction of its right of
way by the new Mt. Vernon Me
mortal Drive.
The rails will be sold for Junk,
and the right Of way probably will
be purchased by the Federal Gov
ernment at a price of approx
mately $150,000.
Termination of the Mt. Vernon
branch will not effect service on
the rest of the system.

PREACHER GETS
10-YEAR TERM
FORFORGERY.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 30.-The
Rev. H. D. Mollart, former pas.
tor of Asbury Methodist Church,
this city, who was arrested sew
eral months ago and charged
with forgery on notes to the
amount of $7,666.66, pleaded
guilty at his trial in the Hus-
tings Court and was sentenced
to 10 years in the State peni-
tCntiary by Judge Ernest H.
Wells.
Shortly after investigation of
the case was begun by Detective
Sergeant Jim Inman, Mollart was
lodged in the Eastern State Hos
pital for observation and was
liter brought back to Richmond
under charge of forgery of one
note. Later II other charges
were brought against him.
He was first arraigned in No
vember before Justice Henry A..
Maurice in police court, but his
attorney. Leith S. Bremner, had
examination waived, and the case
was sent on to the Hastings
Court.
The persons whose names Mol
lart was charged with having
forged are some of the most
prominent citizens of South Rich
mond. Rather detail investiga-
ton was required, according to
Sergeant Inman, since some of
the names on the notes were
valid, while others on the same
Lote were found to be question
able. Six Richmond banking in
stitutions were connected in the
alleged forged notes.

found that the processes OF REASONING

the duties assigned him in the begin

the Cheyenne reservation was looking
into a situation affecting the Old Little
Chief camp, located about 20 miles
from the agency proper. Some trouble
was reported in that quarter.
Old Little Chief was sick. A part
of the trouble was that the medicine
men had u the agency doctor out
of the camp. Mr.. Wilson was accom-
panied to the scene of the trouble by
Eugene Standing Elk, who acted as
interpreter. Pulling back the flap OF
the tent occupied by the i~ndisposed
chief, the callers walked in. They as
sumed a friendly attitude by both signs
and the word of the interpreter. Shak-
ing hands with all present followed.
Old Little Chief was lying PROSTATE on
the ground at n side of the tent.
Mr.. Wilson felt of his pulse and laid
a hand on his head.

Continuing his examination Of the
patient, the superintendent became con-
WINGED from the manifestations that
Old Little Chief had a fever. Perhaps
the medicine men were justified in the
assertion that the agency doctor did
not use snow" or a cooling applica-
ton to relieve the condition of heated
blood in the old chiefs body. Ask

taste of the liquid would be sufficient
to convince him Of its bitterness. In
stead of insisting that the medicine

accepted the situation and stated that
The bitter herb vas about what the
chief needed to brace him up. There
was nc disposition to impose the agen-
cy doctor upon the sick man. The eff
feet of this attitude was Immediately
noticeable. The medicine men were
told to keep on giving Old Little Chief
the tea they had concocted, for that
was about all the agency doctor would
give, something bitter. The vanity Of
the medicine men was aroused, and Old
Little Chief began to sense the presence
OF a new force, which was the appli-
cation of a reasonable attitude that
did not run counter to the mental
conceptions of a hostile mind.
Made Hit With Chief
A few days later Old Little Chief
appeared at the agency. He shook
hands with the superintendent.
Itch Keena little Face, you pow
iva cheap GOOD" he said.
He was more than friendly. He man
ifested it. Frequently thereafter he
would ask for a little box of 'aomaak"
wagon grease, and while the super
intendent doubted that he had as many
wagons as he had squaws, he would
grant his requests.
Old Little Chief bore the reputation
of being the most self-willed and in
consistent of any member OF his tribe.
He was fearless, afraid of no man,
red or white. He possessed eXtraOr-
binary oratorical abilities and was per-
fectly willing to express himself at
random when opportunities presented
themselves. He frequently boosted Of
his exploits and achievements in no

pleased to call it, but which was an

military suit and a German war cross.
Stood BY His Friend
On one occasion he demonstrated his
fearlessness at the agency. The chief
was accused Of having written and
sent a letter to Washington, d. c.,
which was really written by an en-
ploye at his d~ictation, (which was
contrary to the rules and arranged

to the agents face, he said further:

cupied the position of industrial SUI
perintendent or the Cheyenne reserva-

the Tongue river, illustrates the OBJ

lin that ar Indian could not be driven.
In the making of various adjustments,
Mr.. Wilson became convinced that the

that the Indian was human and at
the same time was able to detect the

When Mr.. Wilson went to assume
his duties as industrial superintendent
at the Cheyenne agency, he was con-
ironted with a number Of serious prob

on characterization were extant. An

Little Missouri and the Black Hills, but

move on to the reservations farther
east, particularly the Standing Rock.
Not able to understand the apparent
quarrel, the Indians naturally resented
it and became distrustful of the in
tentions of the federal government.

in any matter involving discipline. The
results were more satisfactory anC

When he died there parted from the
folds of the Cheyennes one of the
bravest and most daring Of the old
time Indian leaders. Although he
could not speak English in an under
standing manner, nevertheless he often
boosted, with justifiable pride, Of hav-
ing two sons, one engaged in bust

word, in the case of Old Little Chief,

Reasoning together with the red man
is like a smile for the white man, is
the conclusion reached by the former
industrial superintendent of the Chey-
enne agency. The potent influence Of
a reasoning attitude appeals to the
better nature Of the savage. If this
practice had been followed in the early
day contacts with these sons of the
open spaces, the story OF misunder-
standing and cruelty would never have
been written. Evidence of this fact
is seen in the experiences of Old Little
Chief and Hair Hand of the tribe OF
