INDIAN GIRLS MAY
SAVE CEMETERY,
BY AssoeIated Press.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 15.-The
news from Washington yesterday
that the Indian affairs committee
Of the house had reported the bill
prohibiting the removal of the
Huron cemetery in Kansas City,
Kas., is the first encouragement in
several years that has come to
three sisters, Misses Conley, de-
scendants Of the once powerful
Wyandotte tribe. In their fight to
prevent what they term a de-
secra taon Of the graves of their
ancestors.
When it was announced several
years ago that the old Indian
burying ground, now one Of the
valuable pieces Of property in Kan
sas City, was to be sold to make way
for improvements, the sisters OBJ
jected. One Of them, Miss Lydia
B. Conley, studied law, was ad-
mitted to the bar, and appeared
before the supreme court Of the
United States in her effort to have
the order rescinded. but failed.
The sisters then erected a fort
in the center Of the cemetery and
for three years guarded it with
shotguns.
The ground was given to the
wyandotte Indians in the early
fifties.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Ba-
con of Georgia today continued his
attack upon the use Of the American
army and navy for intervention in
disordered countries and offered bill,
to restrict the use of those forces by
the executive branch of the govern
ment.
The measure would make 1t i'm
possible for the president to order
troops into a foreign country when
congress is in session without autAo-
rization by congress. Senator Bacon
had presented a similar provision as
an amendment to the army approp-
riation bill last night but it was re-
jected.
1--WE have another example set
forth in the newspapers only this
morning" said Senator Bacon, intro
ducing his bill I'VE read that yes
terday American marines actually en-
gagged in a battle on foreign soil-in
a country with which we are at peace.
They marched into the interior of that
country with hundreds Of men and
met an armed force in battle. The
attitude of some officials seems To
be that the army and navy are toys
and play things for them to sport
with"
The senator was referring to the
use of United States sailors in
Nicaragua.

SAVING LIVES OF EXPRESS

High Point, N. c., Aug. 15.-Police
officials, who have closely examined
the remains of the Internal machine
which was intended for Miss Ollie
Hoover, but exploded in the hands OF
the express agent here Saturday af-
ternoon, seriously inturing him and his
assistant, are wondering whether Ed.
r. Mcintyre, who is charged with
sending the machine and for whom the
police are now searching, made the
machine himself or secured it from an
expert.
The machine was in q box nicely
bronzed and covered with a hinged
and buckled lid. The box contained a
revolving cylinder stuck full of match
heads like teeth in a threshing ma
chine cylinder. that would ignite the
powder when turned around by the
opening of the box lid.
Still another device at the side Of
the box, made Of small band saws, was
so adjusted that the opening Of the
box lid would CRATE these saws against
another row of match heads fastened
to the sides Of the inner box.
For some unknown reason the fuse
that was to have fired the cap on the
stick of dynamite failed to do its work.

Gloucester, Aug. 15.-Thousands Of
farmers massed about Governor Will
son today and heard him make his
first campaign speech since he was
officially notified of his nomination.
The governor spoke extemporaneously
in Washington park where the farm
ers of New jersey, Delaware and
Pennsylvania were participating in a
celebration.
The candidate dwelt mostly upon
protective tariff which he called re
strictive tariff and attacked Aldrich
and his tariff making associates. He
pointed out the benefits of a merchant
marine in connection with the Pan
ANA canal and blamed the influence
of the express companies in halting
the parcels post legislation. The
governor was often interrupted by ap-
plause. He returned to Sea Girt to-
night.
