BLIND WOMAN ATTACKED Arrested And Voice Neighbor, a Laborer, 1dentified By Hi New York, June 26.—Antonio velli, 44, a laborer of 1857 Third av nue, was locked up yesterday at the 194th street station on the complaint of Mrs. Reb a Aitmayer, a blind woman, living at the same address, who charges that Novelli entered her apartment yesterday about 3 o'clock while her husband was away and at- tacked her. Her screams attracted the attention of her neighbors, but by the time Mrs. Nancy Walton, who also lives upon the same floor, had come to her aid, Novelli had rushed out of the apart- ment. Detective Sommers and Donovan found Novelli walking up Third ave- nue toward 104th street. He was hrought back to the Altmayer apart- ment and required to talk. Mrs. Alt- mayer promptly identified him by his voice. Novelli denied that he had at- tacked her, Mrs. Altmayer was re- o- is dian usage. The second and third generations of wampum making Campbells supplied much wampum to John Jacob Astor, who used it in buy- ing furs from the Indians. It was probably Mr. Astor who opened up the way for the Campbells’ exten- sive wampum trade on the plains and in the far west, which has last- ed to the present, although its manufacture is now very rapidly dying, as the Indians have become more and more civilized and ac- customed to the intrinsic_value of the white man's money. Yet some wampum is still made on the New Jersey Coast. A Wampum Workshop The interior of a wampum work- shop is as different as it is possible to be from a regulation mint. In fact in its primative nature it more nearly resembles a limekiln. The floors are hidden from sight by great heaps of shells, and the rude benches and tools are covered en- | tirely with white-flying dust as the shells are being ground and drilled, and suggests the application of in- numerable coats of whitewash, which in fact it really is. moved to Hariem hospital where she was attended by Dr. Blumenkrants, Justice Today Reserves Decision On Petition For Defense to Have Right to Read Grand Jury Minutes, White Plains, N, Y,, June 26.-—8u- preme Court Justice Morschauser re- served decision today when attorneys for Walter 8, Ward, charged with murdering Clarence Peters moved that they be given the right to re view the grand jury minutes on which the ind'ctment for first degree murder was based, Coroner Fitzgerald announced that once more he had postponed the in- quest into Peters' death, He gave no reason but sald the in- quest would be held on Wednesday.

Above, William Penn's Treaty with the Indians. From a rare old print. Below, The elaborate belt of wampum given Penn by the Indians to seal the treaty. The wampum makers purchase a cartload of conch and clam shells for 25 cents, delivered at their doors, and when a shell of sufficient thickness is selected it is broken with hammer and chisel into cubes of about two inches in length and one-third of an inch square. The piece of shell is then securely wedged into a vise made of two pieces of wood, connected with a hinge in the center. The jaws of the vise are opened and the shells inserted. Then the vise is ¢losed tightly and held by pressure against the grindstone. In this manner, in a short time, the edges of the shell are rounded, and then the drill is brought into use. The workman sits at a three- legged table, the top of which is fashioned from the half of a log, the under side still retaining the original bark covering, and affix- ing one end of the drill to play freely in a button on his jacket, he next takes up a whalebone bow, similar to the kind used by jewel- ers, and, giving the cord a turn about the spool on the drill, he works the bow rapidly back aod | the market. | most beautiful, and therefore more | valuable, and is harder and tough- LANDERS' EMPLOYES AT ANNUAL DUTING Universal Club Had Festive Day on Saturday The Universal club of Landers' held its sixth annual outing at Pine Wood Grove on the Farmington river, S8aturday afternoon with an at- tendance of 410 members and friends. An afternoon of athletic events was enjoyed, the best of which proved to be the tub race in which the tubs proved the refractory embers and in- sisted in turning upside down and keeping the would-be contestants en- closed beneath the water's surface. A swimming race was finally sub- stituted, Sack races, three legged races, the usual fatman's race and other in- evitable features of a picnic were in- dulged in. After the races, ‘“ecats" were served. Chef Towers did the honors and, we take this on hearsay only, is reported to have *‘fed" the 410 in 15 minutes, hot dogs probably making up the menu, Andrew Danielson won a pearl handled pocketknife for winning the sack race and R. Poglitsch who fin- ished second got a stag handled knife, William Venberg and Ernest Hall broke the three legged race record and got two U'niversal razors, while Alex Tuttle and Ben Holt re- ceived playing cards for coming in second. The 100 yard dash won by Ed Volhardt who received a set of stag carvers while Tommy Basile came in second and drew a vacuum bottle as a reward. Ted Natzke was first in the fat man's race, thereby winning an Eversharp pencil and Wilfred La- Point came in second and grabbed a box of cigars. Sydney Cooper won a pipe and the potato race and R. Poglitsch increased his prizes by cap- turing second and a resistain steel knife. Alex Seifel had the beef and hurled the shot for a win and an aluminum percolator and lLarry Wil- liams was next best and won a set of steel knives and forks. Olaf Ander- son has a new cravat for winning the shoe race and Paul Zeboski got sec- ond and a pair of cuff links. In the tug-of-war the main plant won a large box of cigars. Andrew Daniel- son won the swimming contest and a carton of cigarettes. Ed Volihardt won the horse race and likewise a box of cigars. The married men had the “stuff'* in baseball and trimmed the bachelors easily. S. S. PICNIC The annual Sunday school picnic of the’ Methodist church will be held Wednesday at Rockwell Park, Bristol.

IDENT! CAT BITES A POLICEMAN Patrolman Kills Animal Which At- tacks Him Before Crowd. New York June 26.—Policeman Henry Beckmann of the West 100th Street station had his attention called yesterday afternoon to the antics of a cat which attracted a crowd in front of a butcher shop at 369 Columbus avenue, The policeman for a time amused the crowd by his efforts to catch the cat, until the animal leaped at him. The policman warded it off, but not until it had bitten the middle finger of his right hand. Beckman finally killed the cat with his revolver. The policeman had to go to the Re- construction hospital, where his finger was treated by Dr. Kirkman, after which he reported “sick’ to the sta- tion and went home.

Despite this legend and similar ones, however, it is bekeved that the earliest wampum was made of small pieces of wood of equal size, sthined black or white. Porcupine quills are also said to have been used. Later, wampum was made from shells, sometimes of the fresh-water varieties, but generally of sea-shells, The best wampum was made from the hearts of the common hard clam of Long Island. While shell beads were early manufactuged by the Indians along the Atlantic shore, they were rare West of the Hudson River before the seventeenth century, With the arrival of the colonists, the Indians were supplied with tools which made it’ possible for them to work a greater variety of shells and to produce more finished work.

Its value was at one tima:- four for a penny, and at another time six for a penny. In Massa-’ chusetts, in 1648, wampum, if of good quality, was legal tender to the amount of forty shillings. The white beads were rated at eight for Different designs of wampum belts a penny, the black beads at four for a penny. The use of wampum as money among the colonists of New York was continued until 1700 at least, as at that time, according to an old record, “the ferriage for each single person from New York to Brooklyn was eight stivers in wampum, or a silver two pence.” Wampum As Ornaments Messengers from one tribe of Indians to another used strings and belts of wampum as creden- tials. In time the articles made of wampum came to have great sym- bolical importance dependent on the colors and arrangement of the beads. T)wy were also used as memory aids to the keepers of the oral traditions of the Indians, While, as a medium of exchange, the dark beads were rated higher than the light and white beads, for symbolical purpgses, these latter beads, however,” were auspicious while the dark ones were inauspi- cious, having to do, in the mes- sages or records, with death, war, etc Wampum was also worn for ornament by the Indians, both men and women, It was worked into collars, necklaces, ear pend- ants, bracelets, armlets, girdles, anklets and headdress decoration, “Wampum pipes,” long tubular shell beads of about the length of the common pipe-stem, and per- forated disc-shaped shells, as well as shells ground into various shapes including the forms of anie mals, were also in common use at one time by the Indians,
