Lewlston, Idaho, Nov. 22 Lead
ers of the Nez Perces Indian tribe
will meet in Kamlah November 26 to
.organize an Indian society for social
and political purposes. The move
ment has the approval of Chief Moses
and Is expected to grow into a large
and powerful organization. It will
be the only one of Its kind In the

States.
Corbett Lawyers, secretary to Su
perintendent Llpps, a Carlisle grad
uate, and James Stewart, of Kooskla,

the Indians will devise plans, for
tribe protection, which will be sought

ciation with the Indian Department.
