Governor Roosevelt's action in placing Mayor "Walker on trial at Albany the same day that President Hoover delivered Ills acceptance speech was regarded la the Republican camp as a trick to a$eal the show which was being staged w Constitution Hall in Washington. ' The dry faction in the Republican Iftirty is disgruntled at the President's utterances on the prohibition question. Political interpreters are now endeavoring to please both factions, the **wets" and the "drys". The President ia his speech of acceptance did his level best to make wets and drys meet on a common ground but impressions Me that they are likely to remain a house divided against itself. The extremists in both camps are not enthusiastic over the proposal to let the states decide for themselves whether they want to go wet or retrain dry. The pro-Hoover demonstration here l»«t week by the Republican Rnoggvelt women, headed by the widow of "Theodore Roosevelt, was one of the high-lights of the show. The arrival of the 71-year old former First Lady of ^ the Land by airplane for the notification ceremonies was no doubt designed to equal, if not overshadow, the dramatic flight of Governor Roosevelt to Chicago for his notification on July 2,„ and emphasize the political breach in the Roosevelt family. Henry Field of Iowa, who recently won over Senator Smith W. Brookhart in -the primaries, is making his /first visit, to Washington. He came to attend 'the notification ceremonies for President Hoover and evidently make a general survey of the offices he hopes to acquire as a full-fledged United States Senator after March, 1932. Field is a seed merchant and general storekeeper. He operates his own radio station and tours the Iowa counties with a loud-speaking outfit mounted on a truck. Mr. Field has conveyed the impression while here that he will campaign for election as an out-and-out supporter of the Hoover administration. It is reported that secondary cities, rather than the nation's financial capitals, will be selected as headquarters of the regional home loan banks to be established under the government's newest credit system for the relief of mortgage-burdened home owners. Such a policy would bar home banks in such financial centers as New York, Boston, Chidago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis and San Francisco. Smaller cities have voiced their approval of this plan but it has brought protest from the larger centers, Cleveland ^being the first to, protest against its exclusion. Probably no city now having a Federal reserve bank will be selected for a home loan bank. The argument in favor of the policy is that it would prevent overcentralization of government activity in any city. Ruiriors have been dribbling into Washington for sometime regarding the changes in Ambassadorships here. Italy has made the first move by naming Augusto Rosso, head of the League of Nations section of the Italian Foreign Office to succeed Ambassador DeMartino- It is understood that at least four more envoys are scheduled to wnlk the plank in the near future Debuchl of Japan, Von Prittwita of Germany/" Claudel of France and Casauranc of Mexico. AmSbassa<ft>r DeMartino of Italy is now dean of the Washington diplomatic corps. If thfe French Ambassador leaves us the deanship will pass to the Turkish*Ambassador. In more prosperous days the foreign embassies were the centers of lavish entertainment. The budgets of these foreign establishments have been cut right, the war people. The peace people ate only vegetables, the w&r. people meat, T/ater. they gave each other some of the different foods, and thus nil came Into possession of a variety. Later, the two bands a third, very warlike folk, but managed to make peace with the® arid admitted them into the tribe. And this, briefly, is the origin of the Osage. Legend also, relates that later the Osage were living on the banks of a great river, which overflowed, sending the people panic-stricken In four directions : to the top of a hill, to an upland forest, to a thorny thicket, and to the foot of the hill. These last two united. Even at present, the Osage are divided Into three communities, In commemoration of this event. The "Dweliers-Upon-tlie-Hllltop" have their village at Grayliorse; the "Dwellers-inthe- Upland-Forest" at Hominy, and the "Dwellers-in-the-Thorny-Thicket" and "Dwellers-Below" at Pawhuska. Marquette noted them on his map of 1673, and they remained where he found them for about two hundred years, when they moved westward This tribe was always at war, and most of the neighboring Indians held them on terror on this account. §till, they could be generous, for the Illinois, who had been their foes, fled the Osage for protection when driven west of the Mississippi Iroquois. * " V Lewis and Clark have recorded that nearly half of the tribe migrated to the Arkansas river, and took its name. They give the numbers pf the Great and Little Osage and the Arkansas band as more than 1,300 warriors. The three divisions of the tribe which date from legendary days have always been kept separate, and each division had certain functions. For instance, if an enemy should slip into the camp circle and appeal to the chief of the peace people, he was in duty bound to defend him. The more peaceful ceremonies were delegated to this division, such as the naming of children. The war people, which included the third division, took charge of the warlike duties of the tribe. 'Certain families carried on the manufacture of war pipes, mocassins, etc., and heralds were chosen from certain other families. While these smaller "offices" were hereditary, the highest place in the tribe, that of head chief, was electoral. Thus, on the death of a head chief, four candidates were named by the leading man, and one of these was chosen as head chief. The Osage were visited by Capt. Zebulon M. Pike in 1806. This famous explorer stayed more than a week in their villages on the Little Osage river, and mentioned them in the report of his expeditions. Most of what Is now Missouri and the northern part of Arkansas, the property of the Osage, was ceded to the United States by treaty in 1808. This left them with all of Oklahoma north of the Canadian and Arkansas rivers, a not Inconsiderable property, but they reduced the extent of this by further treaties, until the limits of their reservation were fixed. Their agent reported the land as being "poorly adapted for civilizing purposes," as there was but one small fertile vailey on the reservation, butsince then minerals and especially oil have been discovered on the Osage land, with the result that, as far back as 1906, the Osage were the richest Indian tribe in the United States, having funds of more than eight and a half million dollars in the United States treasury, which brought them an income of nearly half a million a year. Pasturagk leases added to this amount. The Osage are rapidly decreasing in numbers on account of intermarry with the whites.. The census of 1910 gives only 825 as full bloods out of 2.100 enrolled as Osages, and It is even said that many of the 825 are of mixed blood. (©. 1931, Westers Newspaper Union.) .

Rome.--The death of Guilla Morosinl, the eccentric heiress who once startled Victorian New York by saying no woman could afford to dress herself on less than $100,000 a year, aroused the hopes of a number of families in Italy for a shore in the fortune she left. ' • . . , The exploits of the Moroslni family and the famous house of mystery at "Hiverdale-on-the-Hudson have been here for over half a century. When news of the death of the late multimillionaire's daughter was published here the stage was set for a Scramble similar to the Wendell wlir drama now going on in New York. Many fn Claims. ; Everybody who had the! V«$rnatb4 Morosinl or could trace their relationship to some one with that name, began to speculate on their chances of inheriting a fortune. Their hopes were blasted, however, when it was learned that the financier Morosini's right name was Parteguaza.' As far as it is known there are oftly five nephews and nieces of Guilio Morosinl living in Italy *who have any blood relationship with the family. Giovanni Morosini, her father, landed in New York penniless and unable to speak a word of English, yet within twenty years he was one of New York's rich men and his three daughters were in a position to have the social world at their feet. Ills rise to wealth came through his association with Jay Gould, an association that began when be saved Gould's life by his quick wit in preventing an attacker from killing the financier. He was first Gould's bodyguard and later his partner. Brought Sorrtiw. The lives of his daughters brought a great deal of sorrow. The oldest, Victoria, ran off with a coachman and when she returned penitently, he sent her away to a convent in Vermont. Amelia, the youngest, was bitten on the face by -a mongrel dog when she was a child of eleven. Plastic surgery had not reached a point where anything could be done to help her in spite of the millions at her father's disposal. Gullla bad an unfortunate romance with a handsome New York mounted policeman, whom she divorced. But that took place after Morosinl had died; leaving the bulk of his fortune to her. Miss Hue!

Between moulding brick walls, broken only by small slits to admit air, but constructed in such a manner to exclude light, workmen discovered a number of skeletons. It is believed they are the bones of prisoners of the early governors of Delaware--men Nvlio were "forgotten" after the cell doors clanged behind them. The discovery was made by excavators making ready for a new state building program here. Early records of Kent county reveal that on this site the first jail was built In 1740. Old maps show the cells, designated as "offices," laid out under the old county building. Later, between 1759 and 1763, James Hamilton, then governor of Delaware, and a number of citizens were designated as trustees and ordered .to sell the jail and purchase another lot for a new prison. The building now being moved was built on the brick walls of the old dungeon. That buffalo was of great value to th6 Indian is not doubted. Mezleves lists the ways in which this animal is of use: "Besides their meat, it furnishes them liberally what they desire for convenience. The brains are used to soften skins, the liom for spoons and drinking cups, the shoulder blades to dig up and clear off the ground, the tendons for thread and bowstrings, the hoof to glue the arrow feathering. From the tail hair they jmake ropes and girths; from the wool, belts and various ornaftients. The hide furnishes saddle and bridle, tether ropes, shields, tents, shirts, footwear, and blanket* to protect them from the cold." Increase in Insanity Blamed on Fast Living golivar.
