The Oxnard Daily Courier STRONGHEART MAKES STRONG RACIAL PLEA Chief Strongheart's lectuTe at the Chautauqua yesterday afternoon proTed absorbingly interesting. He is a picturesque figure decked in his Indian regalia, the significance of which he explained to the audienep, for the Indian's costume lias a meaning that translates his. ili.Miopiu-n. his achievements and the history of his family, both on his father's r.ncl mother's side. Strongheart is a Nez-Perce Indian.

He first showed the difference in training cf a white man's child and tura, an Indian's, lie criticized, our pres- is, dian boys us well as the girls being taught to keer themselves pure and to and protect women. Both were early instructed- in the facts of life. Quaint Indian ceremonies were described, the naming of Lhe children which occurs at the harvest moon festival in August, the betrothal ceremony and marriage ceremony and what the wearing of the head dress oi means. Strongheart described the different methods of hunting of the Indian and white man-, the former only killing for food while the kills for the fun of the thins. This has resulted in the loss of vast quantities of game.

The patriotism of the Indians was described at: some length, 18,000 young young Indians volunteering for service in the late war where many of them dfd perilous scour, work while 1 Gl 3 Indian girls were nurses and were raised in Liberty bonds. Strongheart showed why the placing of the Indians on reservations had resulted in their impaired health. Thar worn i liVft in adObt! dwindled and canned food had proved to be detrimental to their health. This has resulted in the dying of many of their number of tuberculosis. Many injustices had been perpetrated as the shutting of irrigation wa- tar fin tliplr reservation when some I when the Indians had had better crops than they, and the dishonesty of the Indian agent.

The custom of sending children away from their parents to boarding schoois has1 been fatal to the children and resulted tragedies. He cited one instance which happened' recently. Then Strongheart made his strong appeal: "Sixty years ago the government granted the franchise to the colored race which is denied to the original Americans which now owing to their enforced stay on reservations have now dwindled to 196,000 Indians. "The alien and colored children are in the white men's schools while the Indian children are required to be to separate schools. We believe if we arc good enough to fight for you we have a right to be free, We ask for franchise and release from the reservations." Many responded to the appeal of Chief Strongheart and signed the two petitions which he presented, one to go to the Senate Mid the other to the of Representatives.

For many days past search parties have been scouring the country for signs of the student who wandered away from his home one evening. He was 20 years of sse and lived with his parents in Whittier, it was from there he wandered away late Monday night. He gave his mother his and said he was going for a walk. He never returned.

For a long time past he had been greatly depressed through studies at 'as taken home from itudents. as he seemed mentally unbalanced at that time. He was then in a dazed condition. After he had left his home that same evening, it was discovered that he had taken a revolver with him. Police and other parties set out to find him but no trace could be fcund At one time he and his parents lived in Ventura and he attended the public schools in that town.

It is thought that he was mentally unbalanced and made his way back to the place he liked when a boy, and there ended his life with a revolver in the niente hills. FORECAST Tonight and Friday fair.

After the ceremony the party of officials and guests, made their way to the company's buildings, where the company photographer took pictures of the group.

From there the party motored to Long Beach, where an elaborate banquet was given in honor of Miss Donlon. Places for 34 guests were arranged at the Virginia hotel at Beach and the party sat down to a long table in the center or the palatial diningroom of the hotel. The table was exquisitely decorated with red carnations and maidenhair fern. The brilliant red of the flowers against the snowy whitness of the linen tablecloth formed a picture in itself. Nothing was spared to make the banquet one of the most brilliant affairs.

After the guests had partaken of the many course dinner, they repaired to the ball room where they danced until a late hour to the music of the splendid hotel orchestra. Without a doubt both the launching of the ship and the banquet later, were two most successful affairs. The list of Invited guests Included: Mr. and Mrs. H.
