Harold A. lorlng lit on Such a Mission
at TIU Time Anions the Umatilla
Scheme Wan Instigated by Com
mldner Iupp Some Claims of
Music Could Not ISo Recorded Mo

Go Among the Oolvllle and Itluck

nd and tendered by Indian Band of
Non-Reservation Schools.
Harold X Lorlng. of the United
States Indian service, who arrived
here last evening, la engaged In nnlque
work. Hla mission la to collect the
native ong of the Indians so that
they may be preserved by the govern
ment along with the folk lore and
ether thing that have been collected
In the past.
The appointment of Mr. Lorlng to
hla pnaltlon was made last Jnly, and
was done at the Instance of F. B.
Leupp commissioner of Indian affairs.
The commlasloner hns been favorable
to such a step from the time he en
tered office. Also, the secretary of
the Interior and tho president have
both manifested strong Interest In the
utter.
When seen this morning before leav
ing for the agency, Mr. Luring spoke
very entertainingly of hla wo'k. e
"When first appointed, said he. "t
went among the Sioux because I had
been with tlmt tribe more or leas for
two years, and consequently was fa
miliar with their language. Also
with the Chyennes, who have al
ways been aanoclatei with the Sioux.
After completing my work among
those tribes I went among the Crows,
the Chlppewan, and the Flathead.
Prom the ttmatilliui I will go to the
Taklma reservation, after which I will
viHlt the Colvlllea and the Blackfeet."
When he first started upon hla
. work Mr. Lorlng was provided with
a largo phonograph nf special manu
facture. However, he soon found the
use of sue'., to be unsatisfactory for
recording many of the Indian songs,
and especially the war songs, because
the pandemonium Is too much for the
machine. However, he still retains
the phonograph and uses It to catch
some of the calmer Indian songs by
having a few sing Into It In concert.
But most of tho recording Mr. Lor
Ing now docs personally after hearing
the songs a number of times. At first
ho has the song given together by a
number of old members of the tribe.
These he secures In preference to the
younger men, because with the latter
the old tribal music has become too
greatly affected by modern conditions.
After he has heard a song given In
concert, he has different ones sing
it Individually. While such Is being
done he records the music himself
and verifies his notes until he Is cer
tain of having It correctly.
"It Is not my work to encourage In
dians to retain their old-time songs,"
uld Mr. Lorlng, "but merely to make
a collection of such so that they will
not be lost when the Indlnn has pass
ed -away. It Is not ieslrable to have
the Indians sing because of the rous
ing effect It has upon the more war
like1 tribes. This Is especially notice
able .mong such xtlbes as the Sioux,
where civilization has not wrought
the changes that It ban among the In
dians of the northwest."
According to Mr. Lorlng, the songs
of the Indians show the history and
the characteristics of the various
tribes. The songs of the Sioux are
strong and warlike, while among
tribes lea ferocious the music Is more
prosaic.
As Is to be expected from one who
huH such close knowledge of real In
dian songs. Mr. Lorlng does not place
high value upon the different "Indian"
songs that have been popular within
the past few year At least he does
not value them as "Indian songs, " for
he says they are poor Imitations of
such. He does not believe "Navajo"
would be recognized by an Indian as
a song of his race.
Since he has been engaged in his
work of collecting the music of the
Indians, Mr. Lorlng has composed an
overture for a half dozen or more
tribal songs. This will bo published by

schools of the country. Nothing of
the kind hns ever been attempted be
fore, and It is something In which Mr.
Lorlng has a keen personal Interest,
lor It will be made up from real In
dian songs.
After having visited on the reserva
tion today Mr. Lorlng will leave for
Portland this evening. After Christ
mas he will return, and expects to
spend about three weeks upon the res
ervation.

Now York.- Dec. 22. Stephen M.
Smith, assistant treasurer, and Chas.
A. Prcller, auditor of the Mutual,
were witnesses In the insurance in
vestigation. Vanderpoot, chief examiner of the
department in New York, was recall
ed and testified he knew the Mutual
was not making a report of its profits
and losses from salea of securities,
but did not think the report really
necessary to the department.
Hughes suggested to Vanderpoot
the Mutual' method of making re"
ports concealed by marking down of
book values nf the company's real
estate, and the concealment of profits
from the sale of securities. The wit
ness said this was true. He also stat
ed that other companies resorted to
similar juggling, and mentioned the
.New York Life as one and said:
"In 1904 the profits on the sale of
securities for 15.000.000 were used
to check off a large account of agents'
balances. whjlt-h the department
would not accept as assets."
Nebraska Will Hear a Hand.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 22. State Au
ditor Searle said, "Because of the lax
methods of the New York department
of insurance have 'wen disclosed to
the investigation committee, the Ne
braska commissioner will probably
find It necessary to personally ex
amine Into the affair of every New
York company doing business. Here
tofore Nebraska has been willing to
abide by Hendrtck'a examination nnd
those of his predecessors."
1awson Is Sarcastic
New York, Dec. 22. Tom Lawson
sent a telegram to this city saying,
"The system will undoubtedly break

sharply for a rise. I shall probably
be compelled to assign." It is believ
ed to be a part of Lawson's cam
paign. The telegram Is taken as a
sarcasm.

What is to he done with the Pen

Ferguson, present lessee and mana
gers purchase the Bee Hive store,
for which he has been negotiating, it
Is understood that he will relinquish
his lease upon the mill. This be may
do under the terms of his contract
with the company, though the lease
Is not transferable.
While no action towards giving up
the mill has yet been taken by Mr.
Ferguson, he stated recently that
should he purchase the Bee Hive he
would no doubt give up the mill, as
he could not attend to both estab
lishments. The negotiations for the
store have been waiting upon the
completion of the Invoice, and as this
is now finished, it Is presumed the
trade will soon be completed, if it is
to be made. Last evening Mr. Fer
guson left for Walla Walla and will
return tonight.
Owing to the exceeding high price
of wool of late there has been little

Davenport Authorities When Ar
rested Was Giving TeHtlnioiiy In the
District Attorney's Office About the
Theft of a Fur From Mmdn Hall.
Vaughan E. Finch was arrested at
noon today by Sheriff Taylor, upon
Instructions from Davenport, Wash.
He Is wanted there upon the charge
of forgery which ho commit!"'! mi-lor
the nntnc of Harry Moore. Informa
tion regarding the crime, together
with a description of Moon! were sent
out by Sheriff J. J. Inkster of Lincoln
county. When they were received
here It was noted by the sheriff that
the description tallied exactly with
that of Vaughan Finch. Acting upon
this Sheriff Taylor secured a picture
of Finch und sent It to the Washing
ton sheriff for Identification. Word
came back that the picture was that
of the man wanted there under the
name of Moore. As a result Finch
was arrested at noon today, and the
officers nt Davenport have been noti
fied. When placed under arrest Finch
denied being guilty of the charge
made against him. However. It Is
thought he will weaken and acknowl
edge the crime when taken back to
Lincoln county. He hns lived here
for many years, nnd hns been In con
siderable troublo before.
Finch was arrested In the office of
District Attorney Phelps, where he
had gone about 11:30 this forenoon
to consult that official regarding an
other case In which he had become
more or less Involved. Ho had given
evidence before the district attorney
regarding the alleged stealing of n fur
from Music hall last Satur.lay eve
ning. However, no case has yet leen
made out of the affair, and It is hard
ly thought any prosecution will follow.
