GOVERNOR GREETS INDIAN CHIEF CHIEF TWO-MOON AND PARTY CALL ON GOVERNOR TRINKLE

Executive is asked to set aside day in honor of Indian Race
Performance may be given by visitors for benefit of Children of City.

Traveling in a gorgeously decorated touring auto, especially designed and equipped for long distance journeying, Chief Two Moon with his white wife, accompanied by Chief Buffalo Bear with Princess Buffalo Bear; Dr. and Mrs. R. O. Rousseau and several others of his party, called yesterday upon Governor Trinkle at the executive offices. The two chiefs with the Governor repaired to the southern portico of the Statehouse Building where they were photographed standing. The Indian visitors were then shown over the state Capitol.
In the receiving office of the Governor the Indians all of whom were dressed in brilliant colors and wore headpieces of feathers and of horns, sat about the large table, while Chief Two Moon addressed the executive. He explained that he had left Waterbury, Connecticut and was traveling south to Florida. From Florida his party will visit most of the Southern States beating back up the Pacific Coast to California. They expect to be journeying for three years.
Chief Two Moon, who has hit it rich in oil, is estimated to be worth several millions. His address to the Governor was characteristic of Indian eloquence. “ My people are passing” said he “ In a comparatively short time the Indian as a race will have been engulfed in the white nations. We have been good to our white brothers. We have fought for them. In the recent war we sent 10,000 braves to the front in France. Of this number 2,000 returned. Our sun as a people is setting. I come to ask of you a favor.”
The favor was that the Governor recommend that a day be set aside as “Indian Day” not to carry with it a holiday but to be set aside in the calendar as a memorial and as an honor to the Indian race. This Governor Trinkle consented to do. The Governor accompanied the two Indian chiefs to their traveling car, which he inspected from within and without . The chiefs parted from the Governor with repeated expressions of good will. They will leave within the next day or so for the far south.
From the office of the Governor the party of visitors went to call upon the Mayor, with the object of securing permission to hold a free exhibition of some kind in the city in interest of the children of Richmond. Just what the nature of this proposed show will be was not disclosed at the Governors office, the executive pointing out that a permit for such an exhibition must be obtained from the Mayor.
