He says in effect something like this: "Although I found you in possession of these lands when I came here from a foreign country, I am a citizen and you are not.

Of course you may not like this, you may think it unjust, but that is the de cision that has been reached in the big pow-wow." Tills, in effect, is the determina tion of the Attorney General of the State of New York, who has decided that as far as hunting licences goes. the Indian is not a citizen and therefore must pay the price of an alien's license, wnicn is Jiu.so. in this de cision It Is decided that the Indian Is not a citizen of tho State of New York. But the Government of tho United States seems to disagree as to the citizenship, without going Into the question of hunting rights at all, or Well, these people did and two years ago they began an agitation for the change. They enlisted the aid of Senator Alfred J.

GHchrlt of East New Tork and he introduced a bill to do the trick. It was passed and signed and then, after It was all over It was found that the boundaries as described in the bill didn't make all the changes wanted. For instance. It was found that in describing one line they had cut off a slice of F.vergreens Cemetery that wasn't wanted, and also, that tlicy had left out a little piece around Highland Park way, which was first supposed to be part of the Park, but which turned out. when the map was more closely examined, to be private property.

So a new bill has been introduced this year to do the Job over again- and this time Senator Oilchrlst says, it's to "be done right." He says he bas Investigated all the maps and had every line carefully described and after this "corrective measure" Is passed the people in that eection will have their island securely anchored to Brooklyn. How would you Ilka to live on an Island of Queens In an Ocean of Brooklyn? Well, that's just the way some people felt who live between Vermont avenue and Highland Boulevard. The official city map put them in Queens County, but they were geographically and every other way far more closely connected with Kings County than Queens. The only parts of Queens County that bounded them were Evergreens Cemetery and Highland Park. To reach their Queens neighbors they had to cross either a long stretch of "grassy mounds" or an uninhabited park with a reservoir beyond.

Kings neighbors were much nearer. To reach them all they had to do was walk across Highland boulevard. All their Interests were naturally In that direction, yet they couldn't vote for any Kings County officer nor par-ticlpate In any Kings County affairs. They were tied to Queens officially while all their interests were with the other borough. Wouldn't you want to be officially transferred from Queens to Kings? That Jacob Friedenham, who died at his home on Central avenue, Hushing, January 29, left his entire estate with the exception of two bequests to Alfred J.

Kennedy, postmaster Flushing, became known when his will was filed in Jamulca, yesterday. The amount of the estate is not mentioned but It is said to be large. Mr. Friedenham owned considerable real esate In Flushing. The two bequests are $2,000 to the Flushing Hospital and $500 to Frank Gares of College Point.

Mr. Friedenham became acquainted with Gares while Gares was employed as office boy In a real estate office in' Flushing, and took a great liking to him. Friedenham had no near relatives and served most of his Ufa In the United States Army and Navy. The will was made on January 10, IMS. Twenty years ago, when Friedenham started an enlistment at Fort Totten, Willetg Point, he became ac-qualnted with the late John Clancy, another soldier at the fort Mr.

Clancy was the stepfather of Postmaster Kennedy. Mr. Friedenham took a great Interest In Mr. Kennedy. When the Spanish-American War broke out Kennedy enlisted with a New Tork regiment.

He was assigned to Fort Totten. At the same time Friedenham was there. They became great chums, and in recent years Mr. Kennedy had been looking after Frledenham's estate. Mr.

Friedenham was a member of Greenpotnt Lodge, P. and A. M. Mr. Kennedy did not care to talk about the matter yesterday.

He did admit, however, that Friedenham owned outright two frame dwellings on Central avenue, near Madison avenue. Flushing. They stand on a plot 76 by 100, and each house Is arranged for two families. Friedenham was 69 years old at the time of his death. He was born In Russia and came to America In his boyhood.

He learned the cigar maker's trade and worked at It for several years. He enlisted In tho United States Navy and while in that service traveled all over the world. At the completion of his enlistment In the navy Mr. Friedenham Joined the United States Army and his entire period In the service was thirty years. He was honorably discharged from the army after the Spanish-American war.

He was an enthuslastlo collector of coins and among his effects were found several bags of old copper, silver and gold coins. wiuiout rererring to any court decision that may or may not nave been made on the citizenship status of the Indian, for one branch of the Government tells The Kagle that It "Is presumed that remants of said tribes and their descendants are recognized as citizens of the State of New York." (Special to The Eagle.) L. February 17 Mothers of Suffolk County at least a considerable number of them do not wish physical training for their children in the, public schools. "Physical training Is as popular among the teachers as castor oil Is to a sick child." These were the rather startling statements made during the course of a meeting in the high school here yesterday afternoon. Daniel Chase, an assistant inspector undor the Military Training Commission, had spoken of the value of play in education and had urged Interscholastlc athletic meets.

J. Henry Young of Central Islip, superintendent of the Second Supervisory School District of Suffolk County, one of the hundred superintendents and principals of Nassau and Suffolk counties who were present arose when Mr. Chase had finished and said: "Physical training has been thrown on our people and they object. They, consent with a protest wtth the result that we have confusion In my district. I have received as many as seventeen letters In a day from mothers who say It is all nonsense." Mr.

Young has forty-seven schools under his supervision. He said that writers asked him what might be expected next year, and whether or not there was any prospect of a change In legislation. In one school in which there were three children, said he, there are now seven, one of whom Is under 5 vears of age. The trustees of that school, he continued, believe that It Is ridiculous to pay VO a month to an instructor for physical training under the circumstances. Then he went on to say that the mothers thought their boys and girls were hardy enough that they had plenty of chores to do at home.

Mr. Young suggested that It might be better to have licensed teachers learn physical training and teach It. Mr. Chase said he hoped that could be done some time. He ventured the opinion that consolidation was needed where there was a school with only seven pupils.

"Physical training Is just as valu-able for country boys as for city boys," said Mr. Chase. It was one of the women teachers who said that physical training was just as popular among the teachers as castor oil to a sick child. The introduction of the elevated system Into Long Island City means a rapid transformation of many see-tlons, particularly In Astoria, from sol tlemcnls of small and cheap one-story and two-story fiame houses, many of them mere shacks, to districts of medium-class tenement and apart-ment houses. Already much of this development has been carried out.

During tho past two years, realty operators anticipating the opening of the elevated lines have erected some fifty four-story and five-story buildings, with a capacity of from forty to tslxty families. Officials at the Building Bureau expect to handle plans for fifty more similar structures within the next year. 1 These buildings are filled with as soon as completed, and the Interesting part of It for Long Island City is tho fact that thus far all of these large structures have been built on undeveloped land, thus bringing Into Long Island City an entirely new people and rapidly Increasing the Long Island City population, which Increase It Is estimated will continue at th8 rate of about 10,000 to 15,000 a year. Another Interesting feature Is that all of these buildings aro being erected on Third. Fourth and Fifth avenues.

Not :4 single one has been built on Secoi.d avenue, showing that for tho present, at tho elevated lino is not destined to build up the street over which the line runs. Even stores thus far failed to niako their appear-anre on Second avenue. Tlio promised operation of the Corona extension by May 1 has not done so much to agitate apartment house; building, with one erection, the only section to show any Increased building owing lo tho construction of this line is that part of Elmhurst known as Jackson" Heights, where half a dozen sixty-family $100,000 apartments have been erected. An equal number ure also planned for this section. The single exception is at Bragaw street, Long Island City, where, according to plans recently filed, a row of upartmeiit houses will be erected north of Queens boulevard.

District to Bo Served by Corona "J' Necessary Sewer l'a-iIIUes. Lack of building interest along thin Corona extension is duo to the fact lhat the district lacks the sewer facilities required for the erection of tenement and apartment houses. As slated by Borough President Connolly several times recently, no great benefits will be realized from vapid transit for this section unless sufficient money la released by the city to insure the development of proper drainage and sewer system. Until that is done, the vast sums invested in Queens rapid transit are wasted. The Aetorla extension, besides bringing a new population to Long Island City, also benefits those who are already residents as well.

In the cuse of the Corona extension, conditions aro very different. With tho single exception of the Woodside-Winfielcl section, where there Is a sparse development, the line passes through entirely new developments, Roosevelt avenue, along which It runs, Is a new street, laid out Just for the road. It passes to the north of Woodside, Wlnfleld and Elm. hurst proper, in Elmhurst, serving a section that five years ngo was farm land, only recently laid out In building lots, and in most cases not built up. Corona proper will benefit fairly well when the line is opened.

FIREMEN, LONG FOES, TO BURY HATCHET lttn them It wag no longer a case off the wily redskin instt mi tt was a case of the wily whlieman for every that tho redskin made to get his suit in court was blocked by tho whites until finally the Legislature a. special act giving them tribal capacity for the purpose of bringing this suit. Wyandank Pharaoh, who claimed to havo been born In Indian Field, Montauk, and whit doctored ho was nn original descendant cf the last Montauk king, was the. plaintiff. Ills mother, a Mrs.

Hanks, former wife of King David, was one of tho witnesses. As plaintiff. "Dank" Pharaoh, as ho Is called, cliilmcd that they had never abandoned their ritrhts to Montauk, and as wards of the State they were without power to sell. The original Indian deeds of 1 6 SO were Introduced in evidence. These showed that all of Montauk, a mighty peninsula, was sold to the whites for 100 pounds sterling, the Indians giving peaceable possession, "and in token thereof we have digged up a piece of earth and delivered It as our ect end deed Into the hands of said inhabitants of Easthainpton." This deed also contained the stipulation that the whites should give the Indians 100 pounds sterling for ten years "either in Indian corn at 4 shillings a bushel or In good wampum pease at a penny," whatever that may mean.

Several other deeds passed later. The Indians declared that these were not actual deeds, but were only treaties. The Pharaohs and Fowlers said they wanted to go bncli to the Indian Field and follow the ancient pursuits of their tribes In hunting and fowling and fishing. They declared that the late Arthur Benson got them to sign deeds, telling them that all of Indians were leaving Montauk and that they, too, would have to go, so they accepted his offer of from $10 ttj $100 each and an annuity of $40 a family With a free tract of land In Freetown, near Easthampton Village. During the trial It was cen that the Indians were hazy about tribal customs and could not tell of any tribal meetings where tribe business was transacted or chiefs elected.

It was shown, too, that at least two of the Indians had given up tribal rights because they had voted at the then recent elections. Yet even though their ballot was accepted some years ago It is now held that they are not citizens as far as hunting goes. Queer world, this. The eult was heard by Justice Abel E. Blaekmar.

In his decision, handed down In 1910, he dug deep Into the ancient history of Easthampton and the Montauks. He mentioned the fact that Governor Thomas Dongan granted the Easthampton people a patent giving them the right to purchase lands of the Indians. He held lhat the sale of the lands to the Bensons and others In 1883 was a legal sale and In that the Indians gave up what rights they had to Montauk. No Montauk Tribe Now, Court Decided, "There Is now no Montauk tribe of he wrote. "It has disintegrated and been absorbed Into the muss of citizens.

If I may use the expression, the tribe has been dying for many years. The separation and scattering of the members, due to the purchase of Mr. Benson, gave it the final death blow. Hut 1 hold that the purchase was a lawful act and there Is no consideration of Justice which makes me louth to find that there Is no longer a tribe of Montauk Indians." It will be noticed in this quotation from his decision that Justice Black-mar Indirectly gives them citizenship, when he says that the tribe has "disintegrated and been absorbed Into the mass of citizens." for It Is contended they become that which has absorbed them. The Shlnnecock Indians constitute the only real tribe that Is left on Long Island, for the Shlnnecocks still occupy a reservation containing about 4fi0 acres, and hold their annual meetings for the election of trustees, but they do not, however, have a chief or follow the traditions and customs of their ancestors.

In fact, many on the reservation are considered to be doubtful "Indians." and hardly anyone would take them for real Indians. In discussing the history of the Shlnnecocks there is an old tradition that the town trustees of Southampton once negotiated with Shinnecock, chief of the tribe, for a sale of the lands and that he absconded with the money. "It Is a matter of record, however," says Edgar R. Merrltt, Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs, "that the trustees in the early days gave a lease for one thousand years to the Shinnecock Indians, covering some 3.600 acres, known as Shinnecock Hills and Shinnecock Neck. Matters stood thus until about the middle of the Nineteenth Century, when the town had developed to such an extent that a more satisfactory arrangement was desired.

Accordingly In 1S59 the State authorities authorized the town trustees to negotiate with the Indians for a cession under which the Indians surrendered the Hills In exchange for which they received In fee Shinnecock Neck. "In addition to these Indians there was also a tribe called Poosepatucks of mixed Indian and Negro descent, who occupied a small reservation of about fifty acres near the mouth of the Mastic River, being a part of the tract of 175 acres conveyed to the tribe by Colonel William Smith.

Recently the determination of the Attorney General of this State in deciding for the Conservation Commission that Indians are unnaturalized aliens and therefore must pay for an alien's hunting license a decision given to Town Clerk James A. Early of Southampton town started a new-discussion relative to the status of the Indians.

In an effort to find out how far reaching this decision was, and to learn something more about Long Island Indians, The Eagle correspondent here addressed letters to both the State of New York and the Department of Indian Affairs, Washington, The State reiterates the decision of the Attorney General, adding that "this applied to all Indians, whether belonging to a tribe or otherwise, providing they are unnaturalized," and holds that it applies "to all members of the former Montauk Tribe." This to tho Indian looks rather drastic in view of the admission of most students of history that the Indian Is regajded as the original American. As stated, however, the Government takes rather a different oft hand view. Edgar B. Meritt, the assistant commissioner of Indian affairs, writes interestingly to The Eagle of Long Island Indians. He doesn't attempt to say that what he says is law, nor that he has made an exhaustive study of all the "lfs" and "ands" respecting their rights of any sort or character, but after giving more or less history he concludes his communication with this: "The office presumes that remnants of said tribes (Montauks, Shlntiecocks, etc.

and their descendants are recognized as citizens of the State of New York."

(Special to The Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. February IT Plans are being made for a partnership agreement between Atlantfc Steamer and Hose Company1 and Oyster Bay Fire Company No. 1, both volunteer fire-fighting organizations of this village. For many years great rivalry has existed between tho two each trying to "beat" the other to the scene of a fire, and the company arriving first taking charge of affairs. An unwritten rule existed that the chief of the company arriving first should give all orders.

As a rule, however, members of the company arriving second refused to accept those orders, and sometimes left before the fire was over. Chief William B. Stedman of the Atlantic Steamer and Hose Company and Chief E. Russell Ebbets of Oyster Bay Fire Company No. 1, acting with a committee composed of George D.

Clarke, Francis X. Moore, Percival D. Stoddart, Charles Kursman, James Hansen and Allan Kirkwood, have prepared an agreement in the matter which will be presented for the approval of the two companies. It has been suggested that the organizations be known In the futuro as the Oyster Bay Fire Department, its officers consisting of a chief, treasurer and one foreman for each company, and one member elected from each company at each annual meeting. These officers will make up the executive committee.

Oyster Bay has motor fire apparatus valued at If consolidation is agreed upon plans will bo formed for building a modern fireproof truck house for the use of both companies. DR.

The student of Long Island history Is aware that many years ago thero were several powerful tribes of real Indians in Suffolk County, notably the: Montauks, tho Shlnnecocks, Cor-1 Changs, Manhassets, and the l'oosopa- tucks.

The student of present day affairs also knows that now there aro strictly speaking nn Indians at all that Is not over two or three of the full blood, if any. There are. however, ai few remnants of the powerful Mon- I tauka without any tribal rights what- i ever, and a few of the Shinnecocks, with tribal rights still retained to a small degree; but the most of both classes of descendants are so mixed with the African an white blood that the real Indian Is generally considered to be extinct. The descendants GOING UP! The discarding of the new fashioned primaries for the old fashioned convention by both Democrats and Republicans in Brookhaven Town makes its death warrant in that town unanimous. C.

Wallaeo Ruland of Patchogue, who was urged by his friends to be Democratio candidate for Supervisor, has made it quite plain that he harbors no desires for the office and will turn a deaf ear to any propositions. Everett M. Price of Bellport will probably be the candidate named at the convention. It appears definitely settled that the Democratic candidate for this office will be one who has not been actively Identified with either faction in the party. Last year Patchogue discovered that It had outgrown the single ticket village primary election, and plans were formulated for putting a bi-partisian ticket in the field this year.

While he election is not far distant, no one has as yet come out for any of the three places on tho village board that will be left vacant by the expiration of the terms of Village President T. Robert Bailey, and Trustees John R. Swezey and Joseph Gerard, who will not be candidates tor re-election. A well-known Patchogue professional man confided to friend wife that he was nursing the idea that he would sooner or later enter the lists for a major county political office. "You have a hobby that will cost you $5,000," she said.

"Invest that in a farm or otherwise you will havo neither farm nor the money, nor the Job." "It even beats the German Bpy system," said a south side minor politician. "I've often wondered how the bosses send out their orders.

So, with the Indians having been born hero and having now become so thoroughly Americanized In every way; it seems strange to some that they should not be officially called "naturalized Americans" for hunting purposes at least. Yet at the same time, It Is not considered strange by those who are fully acquainted with the entire situation that the courts determined a few) years ago that the once powerful Motitauks wero now without tribal rights, for they had no semblance of a tribe and were so closely Interwoven with the general trend of modern events that it was considered unnecessary even to the layman that they should be considered a real tribe of Indians. But 0 situation to those, who, as mentioned, are acquainted with it emphasizes the reasonableness in believing that they are actual citizens, as the United States seems to assume.

Doctor Kirchwey, are wo sending men to prison?" tho olticlal said.

If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially' fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil ind dirt, can easily be at trifling expense by simply dissolving a teaspoon-ful of canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply tt to all the hair instead of just the top of the head.

This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, whrle the hair tikes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem much heavier than it is.
