REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method Of Trading INDUCED
in by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling place the
kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferociOus tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have a great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc. and
deposit them in q certain indicated
place. They then retire for few
hours, being notified to do SO by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn. and when the way
seems clear the coast dwellers APP
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; if not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

Idly being perfected at Union college
for the establishment of an elaborate
memorial in honor of John Bigelow,
the author and diplomat whose long
life OF service ended in New York on
December 10. 1911. John Bigelow was
a Union man OF the class OF 1885, and
was for many years the oldest living
alumnus of the college. The memorial
is to take the form OF a recitation hall
which will bear Mr.. Bigelow's name
and professorship in political science,
and for these two purposes at least
100000 must be raised. A commit
tee, OF which Joseph H. Choate is
chairman, has dedicated itself to the
raising of this fund, and the circulars
calling for subscriptions will soon be
sent out.
1t is felt" says this committee,
that the most fitting memorial would
be building erected on the campus OF
his Alma Mater at Schenectady, n. Y.
with lecture halls and rooms devoted
to the studies he loved, history, poll
tics, and literature, and the establish

Howard Payne, author of Home,
Sweet Home a member of the class
of 1910 at Union college.
The service of John Bigelow to his
country in the dark days of the Civil
war should always be gratefully re-
membered. While William II. Seward,
his fellow graduate of Union college,
was managing brilliantly the affairs
of the department Of state, John Bige-
low, as minister TO France, was sue
cessfuf in the delicate task of main
tanning our national credit in the
countries of Europe. Throughout the
whole OF his long life he devoted his
powers without stint to unselfish and
untiring effort in the service of his
fellowmen.
He held a place in the esteem and
affection Of his countrymen held by no
other man, and when he died at the
age of ninety-four his right to the IT,
tie OF The First Citizen of New York

that this plan will be received by many
as a welcome opportunity to serve at
once the double purpose of stimulating
the spirit of patriotism and of doing
honor to the memory of one whose

NO DISSOLUTION OF UNION PACIFIC MERGER
Attorney General Will Oppose Plan
It Is Too Vague to Meet the
Requirements.

hington.-Attorney General Nc
Reynolds disapproved both of the two
latest plans for the dissolution of the
Union Pacific merger which a few
days ago were submitted by the Union
Pacific railroad to the United States
court at st. Paul. The attorney gen.
erai will attend the hearing to be
held at ST. Paul this week by Circuit
Judges Sanborn, Hook and Smith and
will oppose the adoption of either plan
on the ground that each is too vague
to meet the requirements of the SUI
preme courts decision ordering the
dissolution of the merger under the
Sherman law.
Mr.. McReynolds Monday indicated
that he would not go before the court
with an insistence on a receivership
for the merger, as he said that was a
question for the courts. II plan of
dissolution of the merger satisfactory
to the court is not submitted by July
/, the supreme courts mandate pro-
vides for a government receivership
to accomplish the dissolution.
Mr.. McReynolds said he sympa-
thized with the efforts which Robert
S. Lovett and other attorneys of the
Union Pacific had made to draft a
plan of dissolution, but said the plans
proposed do not provide definite
time for the surrender by the Union
Pacific of it's 1925, 100000 worth OF
Southern Pacific stock and he also re-
CARDS them as vague with respect to
the extent to which the present share
holders of the Union Pacific may pur-
chase the surrendered Southern Pa.
cific stock.
