SHUN FLCATING COFFINS
French- Sailors to Go to Sea on Cer
tain Ships.
French freighters of a certain type
have earned such a bad reputation
among seafaring men, that today sail
ors are refusing to go to sea on them,
while naval draughtsmen at Paris de
clare they should be taken out of serv
ice altogether.
Trwelve such vessels were built by
the government during the war. Their
holdg are clear, with no bulkheads,
which permits the gudden shifting of
cargo, and their water ballast tanks
have a trick of filling unexpectediy.
Tive of thew alrezcdy have turned
over, The last was the Emile Durant,
wiich rolled over without warning and
drowned 19 members of the crew.
Nevertheless, some sailors are occa
sionally found, from time to time, who
will take a_ chance, so several of the
craft are still at sea. :

Hopi Ceremonial Exposed by
Federal Inspector.
Sad news has reached Phoenix, Arlz,,
that the widely celebrated snake dance
of the Hopl Indians is a fraud. o be
sure, there is a dance, and it is de
cidedly snaky, and there are cere
monials of keen interest to the whites
who gather from afar.
For at least three-score years have
been tales how the Indians fearlessly
pursue and capture the rattlesnake
und take him to their kivas, there to
be ‘assoclated with and adored till the
time of the dance, whereat the snake
priests, gathering the rattles by the
double handful, and carrying the ex
cess In thelr mouths, go through the
ancient mystie ritual, regardless of the
fangs of their deadly captives. Rat
tlers have been seen to strike the
priests on the cheek or body and hang
till taken away by the attendant Ante
lope clan members, leaving bloody
wounds. It has been told that the
members of the snake clan had
wchieved immunity to the poison and
that they possessed the formula for
an antidote of which the secret never
had gone beyond their own member
ship. .
Myths Punctured,
Only this year has there been punc
turing of these time-honored myths.
The Indian bureau has had an Inspec
tor, E. M. Sweet, Jr,, making investiga
tions of the Hopi ceremonials. He had
been getting affidavits from govern
ment empleyees and from the better
educated Indians, Along the same
line is a letter written by a young
Hopi, Otto Lomavitu, who writes from
Oraibi village that “the snake dance
ig a- fake,” that the snakes lose their
fangs and poison before they are car
ried into the dance. “The white man
does not know this, nor any outsider.
The Indian laughs in his sleeves at
the poor, deluded, pompous paleface.”
The writer tells that a considerable
number of the Hopi, especially among
the Christianized element, no longer
care for the snake dance. It has been
discontinued in his home pueblo of
Oraibi, and is being carried on In only
a few other villug‘,es. He declares, “It
is beyond my comprehension how u
man of intelligence of the white man
can wish that the Hopis should con
tinue in this disgusting ceremony of
holding a filthy snake in one’s mouth
for five or ten minutes at a time.”
Indian Sustained.
The Sweet papers sustain the young
Indian in hisg declaration that the
snake dance is a “fake.” A number
of witnesses, one of them a former
ex-high-priest of the_snake clan, tell
Lhow, in the annual snake chase, all
kinds of snakes are taken. When a
rattler is found, the hunters hold the
reptile while the fangs are raked out
and the poison sacs emptied, Some
times the larger teeth are knocked
out. It is appreciated that the injuries
heal quickly and that fresh venom
will form within four days, so there
is renewed inspection In the under
ground kiva before the snakes are
brought out to the open Kiva.
No preventive medicine is taken and
the emetic, after the dance, ig drunk
mainly as a cleanser of the filth and
slime left in the mouth and throat from
the skins of the reptiles. Snake bite
is feared by~ the priests as by the
whites. Several tribal remedies for
the effect of the venom are known,
It may be remembered that, early
in the year, was a hue-and-cry over a
circular “message” of Indian Commis
sioner Charles H, Burke in which rec
ommendation was made to the Indians
themselves that t'sy discontinue some
of their ceremonial dances that hardly
agree with modern ethics. There was
special reference to the Sloux sun
dance, with its'acute tortures, of the
“give-away” festlval, in<“which mem
bers of certain tribes have been wont
to beggar themselves and their fami
lies, and of the dance with polsonous
snakes. In the letter also was refer
ence to the time that was wasted and a
recommendation that seed time and
harvest, at least, be spared for work,
while there was reiteration of the oft
repeated warning against drugs and
intoxicants. : 2
Practices Immoral.
Possibly the Indlan bureau’s answer
with respect to the Hopl 1s contained
in the portfolio of papers gathered by
Mr. Sweet. Copies of the evidence
have been passed on t 6 the Indian
Rights associatlon which now for at
least once in its history is in full ac
cord with the bureau. The association
now is represented in the Southwest
by S. M. Brosius. He 1s making in
gpection of the condition of south
western Indian tribes and only inci
dentally is taking up the Hopl fea
ture. Leaving the unprintable report
merely as corroborative evidence, stat
ing that neither the commissioner and
his bureau nor the Indian Rights asso
ciation Is seeking to destroy any In
dian customs of historical or ethnologi
cal value, he expresses his belief that
the time has come when the Indian
should he discouraged, at least in his
abandonment to filthy and immoral
practices that are known in the period
of tribai license that is coincident with
the celehration of the snake and some
other dances of the southwestern
pueblo-dwelling tribes.
