joined the Marshall Ncilan forces.
Mr. Long will be remembered for
his interpretation of the renegade
negro in "The Birth of a Nation."
Madge Kennedy is ill not seri
ously, the report says, but enough
so that wrk on "The Girl with the
Jazz Heart" had to be stopped with
iii a day or two of completion. Miss
Ktnncdi played a dual role, so
jshior.abte these days, which re
sulted her presence in tJtc picture,
nenrly all the time. The strain had
been very great.
News dispatches from New York

adaptation of Fannie Hurst's story

Miracle Man."
Frederick Stanton, who takes the
part of Big George Bolt in "The Sil
ver Horde." suffered a painful acci
dent during the filming of the play.
Four men who fell on him during
the fight landed on his open hand
with the result that they bent his
fingers back until they were broken.
Blaine Hammerstein declares she
never had a better lime in her life
than when she was shopping for her
dual part in "The Shadow of Ro
salie Brynes." She bought all the
vampish things in the stores for the
reckless sister and all the modest
sweet, frilly things for the other girl.

Crew Lives on Food
Meant for Parrots,
On Unlucky Yacht
The Champion Fan
The champion film-goer seems
to have been discovered, down
in Covington, Ky. He is Jack
Jordan, who has averaged seven
shows a week for ten years, who
saw the first moving picture ever,
screened, "Miss Jerry," and who
would walk five miles, he says, to
see Charles Chaplin. Jordan's fa
vorite actor is Tom Mix. Can
anyone claim a better record?
Photoplay.
John Bowers was thinking of ad
vertising in all coast towns between
Cape Hatteras and Los Angeles
"Lost, one yacht" when he re
ceived a wireless that "The Uncas"
was on its way toward him.
Even then he did not believe it
would arrive and when his eyes
finally fell upon it, he let out a
shout of joy.
For almost six months, the yacht
had been lost from its o.wner. For a
time after it left New York on its
7,000-mile voyage to California, he
had word of it, but every sturm that
hit the seas during its journey, hit
"The Uncas."
Once the rations ran so low that
the crew was forced to eat cracked
corn carried on board for a number
of parrots. The crew lived on it
until food could be procured but
the parrots died.
Mr. Bowers still expects to enter
the yacht in the annual race from
San Francisco to Honolulu this
summer.

Lone Trio, Last of Tribe,
Hunt Snakes for Pastime
. ',
Cogswell, Reptile Catcher, Bemoans Volstead Amend
ment Which Has Cut Off Supply of Cure for
Rattler Bite.
New York. June 19. Three In
dians on a 1,000-acrc reservation,
and one of them a civil war veteran
living alone in a mountain shantv,
amusing himself with hunting rattle
snakes and attending Memorial day
exercises, and all within a few hour?'
ride of New York City, is the story
that comes from - the Scaticook
Mountain reservation, near Kent,
Conn.
Scaticook, spelled a dozen or so
ways, including Schaghticoke, the
United States geological survey'
choice, and pronounced Indian
fashion P' ska' tikuk, is interpreted
to mean "At the River -Fork." The
name arises from the fact that tho
settlement and reservation lies at the
joining of the Ten Mile and Housa
tonic rivers. Here in 1730, or a few
years later, a I'equot Indian named
Gideon Mauwehee, or Mahwec, es
tablished himself and invited the;
broken Paugusset, Uncowa and
Potatuc tribes further down the river
to join his colony, which they did.
Jinx Follows Settlement.
Calamity has followed the settle
ment throughout most of its exist
ence. In 1743 the Moravians estat
iished a mission among its people,
and later induced many of them to
migrate to Pennsylvania. There
they sickened and died in numbers,
the remnant straggling back to the
Scaticook home, where they lived on,
neglected and poor.
They were too weak to take any
part in the French and Indian war,
and by 1752 had dwindled to 18
families. This diminution contin
ued until in 1786 there were but 71
persons, in 1801 but 35, in 1849 only
eight or ten full-blooded Indians
and 20 or 30 mixed, in 1903 but one
full-blood and 14 mixed. Today
there are but three of any kind. The
last descendant of the founder, hu
nice Mahwee, died in 1870.
Specializes in Rattlers.
One of the survivors is Cogswell.
He has already survived for 84 years,
and seems in a fair way to con
tinue to do so for some time. Cogs
well's favorite sport is climbing to
the rocky ledge 900 feet above and
almost directly overhanging his cab
in to catch rattlesnakes. Nothing
delights him more than when his
friends from the reptile house at the
Bronx park zoo come rattler-hunting
and ask his compsny on the
climb and the bagging.
He is proud to number himself
among the five surviving veterans of
Kent's 700 population. Pie plans a
trip to New York to visit the reptile
house and there see the frizes of
his catches behind the glass plates.
Scoffs "Newfangled Antidote."
He was shown a nickeled case
containing a phial of potassium per
manganate, a rubber ligature, a
scalpel with a hair-splitting edge, a
hypodermic syringe and a phial of
artivenomous serum from a Brazil
ian laboratory. The use of all this
apparatus was explained to him, but
the Indian only shook his head and
said: "No good."
Pressed for an explanation of his
lack of confidence in the white man's
precautions against the prisonous
H;c of the rattlers the old Indian
grunted out his opinion. "Man bit
ten, rattlesnake, he die. No cure
now. Prohibition." To which bit of
up-to-date facetiousness he added in
a moment: "Big sport now. Mint rai
tlcsuake. No cure."
