* Laws to Punish
Idle Gossipers
Shoe W orkers Ask Council to
Pass Ordinance Similar to
Kentucky.
Endlcott, N. Y., Feb. 14.—If the
common council grants a petition re
ceived by officials today, one will
have to stop talking about one's
neighbors—or go to jail—for the peti
tion asks that the aldermen enact an
ordinance similar to one which is
working out successfully In several
other cities, making It a misde
meanor to gossip.
The petition, signed by "A Group
of E. J. Workers,” makes the spe
cific request that the council follow
the lead taken by the town of Owens
boro, Ky., and enact a law which
would provide a penalty of fine or
imprisonment, or both, for conviction
upon a charge of "seatterlng false
rumors, or spreading li'es about people
both In public and private life.”
The law is being enforced In the
Kentucky town, the petition says,
and Judge Emmett Watkins recently
fined a women $10 for saying that
she could bribe any policeman with a
dram of “white mule.”
VALUABLE INDIAN
- POTTERY IS FOUND
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.. Feb. 14.—Forty
three different kinds of pots have
been made from 800 fragments of
pottery unearthed by Max Schrabist,
arohasrloglst of the Wyoming His
torical society, who has been making
excavations at Rock Cabin, on Wyo
ming mountain. The pottery was the
work of the Lenape tribe of Indians,
who frequented this valley. The de
signs on the vessels vary on nearly
every piece.
Several Boy Scouts Interested In
Indian lore are assisting Sh the work,
and Rock Cabin has proved a reposi
tory of Indian relics. Mr. Schrabist
believes that It was used as an Indian
shelter rather than as a permanent
habitation of the tribe, which many
erroneously believed to be a tribe of
the Delawares.
