Most of these latter had come to the reservation from Batavia. They were: City Attorney William H. COON of Batavia, now attorney for the Indians; District Attorney William J. DARCH, Mrs. Franklin DOCTOR, president of the reservation unit of the Genesee County Home Bureau; Nicodemus BAILEY, former Carlisle football star and now clerk of the Tonowandas; and Town Clerk Ernest P. INGALSBE of the Town of Alabama. INGALSBE demonstrated a voting machine, and let some of the braves and squaws manipulate it of their own accord. He said he would give further instructions on using the voting machine at Alabama Odd Fellows' Hall, Nov. 1 and 2. The literacy test will be given at the schoolhouse of district 2, near the reservation's Baptist Church, Oct. 19 and 26, from 4 to 9 p.m. Twelve of the braves arranged to be present at CURTIS' visit to Rochester, Oct. 24, and to ask him at this time to speak to the Indians on their new citizenship and obligations. More are expected to go with them. No attempt at forming a political club on the reservation will be made, according to COON, who said "The first step is to get the Indians to vote; and that is a big job." ----<>---- Medina Man's Suit Goes to Jury Today Lockport, Oct. 9 - The Niagara Supply Company of Lockport, was defendant in a suit brought in County Court before Judge William A.

There's a funny noise in the attic!" cried little Richard HARRIS, 4, to his mother, Mrs. Edward HARRIS, 788 Norton Street, yesterday morning - and when Mrs. HARRIS investigated she found the roof ablaze and the flames eating into the attic. She aroused her other child, Beth, 5, who was still sleeping, and with Richard hurried her outside. Stanley ADAMSKI, 6, who lives next door, ran three blocks to turn in a box alarm summoning Battalion Chief FITTS and companies. The fire was put out with chemicals, the damage being estimated at $200. Loss of $200 resulted early yesterday morning when the explosion of hot water tank scattered hot coals over the floor and set fire to the Cleary Oil Corporation's new service station in Titus Avenue, Irondequoit. Theodore KLEM, milk dealer, working in his dairy next door, heard the explosion and called the St. Paul Boulevard Fire Department. A water line was brought into play and the blaze was put out after a brief battle. Firemen were called to the plant of the General Railway Signal Company at Lincoln Park early yesterday morning when soot blazed up in an iron chimney connected with five moulding furnaces. The chimney turned red from the heat, although the fire was extinguished without any damage. ----<>---- Onetime Theater Usher Here Publicity Head For Big Chain The urge and lure of the show business, fostered by his youthful experience as an usher in the old National Theater and the Baker Theater here, has carried Frank WHITBECK over many strange trails to one of the biggest positions of its kind in the world in the 30 years since he left the family home at 125 Delevan Street, where his mother still lives. Tent shows and the sawdust ring were Mr. WHITBECK's mentors in the immediate years after he left Rochester. Later he became advance agent and manager of many legitimate attractions, ranging from Charles F. BLANEY's "Queen of the White Slaves" to a Paderewski concert tour. A week ago Mr. WHITBECK was director of publicity for the West Coast Theaters in Northern California. Today he is publicity director for the entire chain, more than 250 theaters. In announcing Mr. WHITBECK's promotion, A. M. BOWLES, manager of the northern division, said: "Frank WHITBECK's ability in appealing to the motion picture public is conceded to be supreme. He knows how to talk to the public intimately, and our patrons have come to have faith in what he has promised them, because he has spoken in terms of truth and understanding." Mr. WHITBECK became publicity manager for the Warfield Theater five years ago, and soon afterward ascended to the managership of the northern division of the chain. He has been a theater man ever since he was a kid. After leaving Rochester Mr. WHITBECK's first job was as a bill poster for the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Another phase of work at which Mr. WHITBECK is said to excel in the writing of composite ads for West Coast attractions. ----<>---- DEATHS Mrs. Ida BROWNE died yesterday at her home, 627 Park Avenue.
