By the Associated Pre DENVER, May 27.—A half century has seen the signal fires of the once mighty Sioux burn low and die in the valley «f the Little Big Horn. Time has erased the lodge pole trails from the plains of the Rosebud and the passing years have quenched the flame kindled at word of Custer's crushing defeat. But the story of that heroic strugile remains one of the romantic chapters in frontier histor Next month in the valley of the Little Big Horn River, in southern Montana, where on June 25, 18 Gen. George Armstrong Custer led five companies of the 7th Cavalry to slaughter, the new 7th, under com- mand of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, will face 3,000 descendants of those Sioux and Cheyenne warriors who riddled Cus- ter's battalions. But these Indians and cavalrymen will unite in solemn tribute to the memory of the red and white man's dead. The ceremony, under - the auspices of the Custer Memorlal Assoclation, will be in com- | memoration of the semi-centennial of the famous battle. !

At the crest | of the hill, near a great monument, on which has been carved the names of the fallen whites, these two forces will meet in friendship. Gien.

At the close of the Civil War Custer, Davin and Merritt, Sheridan's di- visional commanders, were commis- sioned lieutenant colonels and brevet- ted brigadier generals in the United States Army. On July 28, 1866, the 7th Cavalry was organized, with Cus- ter as lleutenant colonel. A. J. Smith colonel, Alfred Gibbs major, and such names as Benteen. Keogh, West, Barnitz, Moylan, Commagere and Thomas W. Custer among the com- missloned personnel. Following an expedition into the Black Hills to protect the hundreds | pouring into the new Eldorado in | 1874, an outbreak of Sloux claimed | Custer’s presence in the field. In 1875 his services on the northern plains began opposite the mouth of the Tongue River in Montana. On June . 1876, he set out from old Fort ncoln on his ill-fated expedition in search of the village of hostile Sfoux, moved 12 miles up the Rosebud and camped. The next day the march continued for 33 miles, passing many dim lodge pole trails. On June 24 the column again | moved forward, making camp at 24 miles. Indian signs were growing fresher. At 11 o'clock that night the | column was called out and ordered | ahead, turning to the right near the divide between the Rosebud and Little Biz Horn. About 2 a.m. June | 25-the column halted for three hours, made coffee, then resumed its forced march. It crossed the divide and by 8 am. was in the valley of one of the branches of the Little Big Horn. By this time the Indians had been sighted, and as it now was certain that they could not be surprised, it was determined to attack. Hoists Lift Stone Horses.

HONOLULU, May 27.—There are several sure signs of volcanic activity in Hawail. One of them is quakes. A second is sulphur fumes. A third is_a rise in taxi rates. Dr. T. A. Jagger, eminent volcanist, does not regard eruptons in Hawail as alarming, nor do the citizens. In fact, by and large, this phenomenon “‘sets people wild with joy.” The steamship agencies, the hotels, the taxi drivers and everybody else be- gin to grin. The reason is that the quakes, although they often number 150 a day in the vicinity of Kilauea, are so gentle that no one is annoyed. The le Disturbed of Volcanic Action taxi drivers do a tremendous business taking tourists to view the impending eruption or the one already under way and the hotels and steamship companies get their share of the busi- ness. The sulphur fumes are so light, says Dr. Jaggar, that the direction of the vent from which they come could not be determined by the public with- out information from the goverhment observers. Lava flows, although spectacular, do little damage and the dozen or two families forced to flee accept the sit- uation in the spirit of packing up to move to the city, they are so used to moving out of the way of the flows. | BAND CONCERTS. ‘ Sylvan Theater, Monument grounds, today at 7:30 pm. concert by the United States Marine Band, William H.

WHO OWNS THE PEARL? The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Hew art, sitting as judge at the Inner Temple Moot in London, has decided problem discussed by barristers and students as the ownership of a pearl found in an oyster, according to the London Mail. The subject of the appeal was: A orders a barrel of oysters from a local fishmonger D. The fishmonger procures them from an oyster mer- chant B, and supplies them to A, who Iy for them. Opening some of the Oyster, C, a servant of A. finds in one of them a valuable pearl, and puts it in his pocket, intending to keep it. The pearl is claimed by the mer. chant B, the fishmonger D, the final purchaser A, and the servant C. In the court below judgment is given in tavor of A; B. C and D appeal. In giving his judgment in favor of A, and dismissing the appeal, Lord Hewart found that the pearl was a “resnullis” (without ownership) until the occupancy of A was established through the discovery of the pearl by his servant.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 26.—The National Conference of Soclal Work, | in convention here, turned aside from ts many varied problems for a while today to learn why building costs and rentals have gone so high.

Tracing the history of apartments from those of four to eight rooms, in vogue at the beginning of this cen- tury, to the present day two and four room suites, Mr. Hartman showed that as the rooms diminished in size the rentals Increased. “The reason for this,” he said, “is that we have turned over to private speculation the only commodity with- out which we cannot live, which is non-perishable and which cannot be multiplied.
