Mossman Tells Rotary Club
Many News and Magazine
Articles Inaccurate

Distorted magazine and newspaper
articles have served to give the av-
erage citizen an erroneous concep-
ton of the economic situation Of the
American Indian, E. D. Mossman,
superintendent of the Standing Rock
Reservation at Ft. Yates, told men,
bers of the Rotary club Wednesday
noon.
The federal government gives the
Indians every possible opportunity
to make good, Mossman said, and
encourages and abets them in their
efforts to make a living.
North Dakota has an Indian popu-
lation of 5000 with over $500 liv-
ing on the Standing Rock Reserva-
tion. Last year over half mil
lion dollars was spent by the govern
ment in the interests Of the Indians
living on the reservation according
to Mossman, who said everything
was being done to make the Indian
a self sufficient citizen.
The government set aside three
million acres for the Indians and
one million Of those acres still are
owned by them. Reimbursible loans
for both grain and livestock are Of
fered by the government as an aid
to agriculture, money is available for
young Indians who wish to go to
college, and numerous other projects
are available Mossman said.
While the government actually
does not pay money directly to the
Indians, they derive revenue from
products raised on the reservation
and from the leasing of lands.
If the Indian is prosperous it is
because he works, Mossman said. If
he is poor, it is because he refuses
to work.
Many Indians are running farms
well stocked with poultry and live
stock and every encouragement is
given them by reservation officials
who are carrying on a campaign to
promote interest in hogs, sheep, milk
cows, and other agricultural prod
ucts.
In the last two generations sweep
ing changes in Indian life have been
effected, Mossman said. Modes of
living have been improved, teaching
methods changed, and opportunities
given for development in trades, pro-
fessions and citizenship.
Contrary to the popular notion,
the Indian is a christian and not a
believer in the pagan Great White
Spirit. Those at Standing Rock be-
long to the Roman Catholic, Episco-
pal, Congregational and Presbyter-
ian churches Mossman asserted.
Sharon r. Mote, superintendent of
the Bismarck Indian School, was
program chairman of the dav in
Producing Mossman as man who
had seen service with the Sioux for
33 years.
Members of the pardon board were
guests at the meeting.

FUND PROBE DELAY.
Bishops Postponement Re-
quest Denied Through Tech
nical Legal Barrier.

Chairman Nye OF the Senate Cam
paign Funds Committee, has denied the
request of Bishop James Cannon, jr.,
for postponement until September 30 Of
the committees inquiry into the bishops
use of 1928 campaign funds.
The chairman explained that the
statute Of limitations would be applic-
able in the case beginning September

appear that the committee might incur
q grave responsibility II it did not re-
sumo its hearing prior to that date"

The Senate committee is investigat-
ing complaint by Representative Tink-
ham, Republican, of Massachusetts,.
that Bishop Cannon failed to account
for major portion Of the $685. 800 given
to him as chairman Of the Anti-Smith
Committee in Virginia by z. c. Jane
son. New York financier.
In asking the delay, Bishop Cannon
explained he probably would be out OF
the country until September In reply
Senator Nye noted that the first of the

ANY suggestion" Senator Nye con-
tinued, that the hearings be post
poned until September 20, 1881, or later,
therefore would seem to be unaccept-
able, but would gladly submit your
request to the members Of the commit
tee nevertheless.
Il am sure it is the desire Of all menu
bers to give every consideration to your
personal engagements so far as to af-
ford, II possible, the opportunity for
you to be present at all hearings, but
you will appreciate that the first duty
Of the committee is so to conduct its
Investigations as to meet the obligation
which the Senate imposed.
The refusal Of Miss Ada L. Bur-
roughs, treasurer Of the headquarters

testify. has made 1t necessary for the
committee to seek the information
which she was expected to furnish
through other channels and to that has
tmpeded the committees Investigation,
Senator Nye said he hoped to resume
the hearings In August, but he told the
bishop that "it is possible, that circun1-
stances may develop which would make
1t necessary for the committee to re-
sumo the taking Of testimony before
that time"

T0SCANINI PRISONER
IN MILAN RESIDENCE.

Unable to Quit Home Since
Shaping by Fascists.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY cable TO The Star.
PARIS, May 20.-Arturo Toscanini,
conductor of the New York Philhar-
monte Orchestra, is voluntary prison.
er in his house in Milan, knowing that
he cannot leave Italy because his pass
port has been withdrawn by the Milan
police authorities, presumably on orders
from Rome.
Inquiries made by long distance tele-
phone today disclosed that Toscanini
has not left his Milan home since he re-
turned several days ago from Bologna,
where the famous conductor was slapped
and cuffed by Fascists after a concert
because he refused to play the Fascist
hymn.
Police, both in uniform and plain
clothes, are posted inside and outside
Toscantni's house. He Is understood to
have been in poor health since the
Bologna incidents. He remains in his
house because OF his health and also be-
cause he fears that If he appeared in
the streets of Milan he would be the
object of manifestations, both favorable
and unfavorable. An audience at
symphony concert In La Scala Monday
night made a great demonstration in
his favor.
Milan police authorities deny that
ToScanini Is being detained against his
VIII, but in the circumstances he cam
not help himself because his passport
has been withdrawn.

MAN USES ETHER
ON SLEEPING GIRL
Screams of Lorraine Hack,
II, Rout Intruder From
Lyon Park Bedroom.
~ star Cnrresnondent Of The star.

BY stan Correspondent OF The Star.
LYON PARK, Va, May 20.-Awak-
ening suddenly at 2;30 am. today
Lorraine Hack, IL years old, 26 Beech
street, found a man bending over her
with a can Of ether held under her
nose. She screamed and her father
ran to her room, frightening the in
truder away.
The child's parents, Mr.. and Mrs
G. z. S. Hack. today were assisting
Arlington County police in their in
vestigation, and while there is no In
,dication of the identity of the intruder,
some clues have been uncovered.
AS told by Lorraine, who sleeps in
the front room Of the Hack bungalow,
she smelled the ether before she had
fully awakened and recognized it from
having once taken an aEesthetic for
an operation. She does not know
whether the odur caused her to awaken
or whether the man accidentally
touched her nose with the can.
Screams Rout Intruder.
Looking up, she could distinguish the
form of q man bending over her. He
was attempting to hold her by drawing
the bed clothing tightly over her body
she said. She then screamed for her
father
AS she screamed, she said, the in
truder jumped to the radiator just
several seconds, apparently waiting to
see whether her cries had awakened
her parents. AS her father entered
the man jumped through the window
and fed.
Shortly before his daughter screamed,
Hack said, their dog, a small Scotch
terrier, started barking when released
He then ran around the house to the
place where the man had entered.
Mrs. Hack Immediately notified the
Arlington County Jail and Deputy
Sheriff Harry L. woodward dispatched
County Policeman Hugh G. Jones and
Constable Richard Langley to the scene
where they were joined a short time
later by Policemen James Scott and
Vernon P. Wilt. Members of the Clar-
endon Volunteer Fire Department also
searched the neighborhood.
Find Can Of Ether.
Police said they found the can OF
ether OH the bed. Beneath the window
was a bench, taken from a porch two
doors away, and which the man had
used to reach the window. A mans
glove was lying on one arm OF the
bench, numerous pieces of absorbent
cotton were lying around and a half
consumed bottle of milk was standing
in the driveway. Another glove. Of q
different make and type, was discovered
IN a yard Of a house next door.
1t is believed the man attempted tt
escape in an automobile, two machines
having been stolen in the neighborhooc
during the night. One OF these was
taken from the home of Miss Evelyn
Burleigh, Sc Chestnut street, and the
other from r. A. Warner, Pershins
drive. When found, the Warner Cal
was attached to the Burleigh car by q
rope.
Lorraine was unable to give a de-
scriptton of the man. She only knows
he was large and apparently dressed
in dark clothing. She was unable tc
tell whether he was white or colored.
There have been numerous complaints
recently of providers in the Lyon Park
neighborhood.
An attempt will be made to deter
mine whether there are any finger
prints on the can of ether, window OF
bottle OF milk.
