FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE
Interesting Relics, Believed to Be Gen.
turtles Old, Recently unearthed
In New York State.

Relics OF an Indian village, said to
have Its origin as early as 1875. have
been discovered In Clason Point, the
Bronx, according to an announcement
made by the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye foundation. The discov-
cry was made by Alan B. Skinner, ar
cheologist of the foundation. The dis
covery is regarded as q very impor-
fant one by the members Of the foun-
dalton. Research establishes that the
village was probably inhabited by ma
tives of the Slwanoy tribe, known to
very early settlers as "Snakeskins."
The research, made through the
kindness of a trustee OF the founda-
tion. has established to the satisfac-
ton Of the board that the tract re-
manned in possession of Its Indian In
habitants until 1925, when it was pur-
chased by Robert Cornell, an English
man. Cornell's family was later mas
sacred by the barbarian tribe. During
the attack he managed to make his
escape on Dutch ship.
Mr.. Skinner was making a pleasure
trip through Clason Point, which is
somewhat of O summer resort. last
July. He noticed very large oyster
shells on mound of sand and recog-
nized them as Indian boundary line
markings. He obtained permission
from the owner of the land to make
search of the ground To the sur
prise Of the searchers. relics of Indian
life were unearthed Costumes. beads,
cooking utensils and a complete hair
dress of the Siwanoy tribe were dis
covered. Seventy lodge sites, contain
Ing hundreds of Indian implements
and tools. were also dug up.
The collection contained crude har-
poems. fishhooks. carved tortoise-shell
cups. bodlSins and decorated pottery.
Hundreds of pipes and beautiful |
mold Jar were discovered intact, and
all are being preserved for public ex-
hibition when the museum opens. This I
history speaks of the Siwanoy practice /
OF digging sand holes and placing
large quantities of food and other Of
ferings to the Great Snake" 1t was
at the museum that the
relics will be placed on exhibition at
the opening of the exhibit.

START JURY WORK
Criminal and Civil Cases On in
Both Shawnee Courts.
John Parr, Cob Charged With
Selling MOrtgaged Property.

The jury civil and jury criminal
trial dockets Of the January term were
opened simultaneously in both divi-
sions of the Shawnee county district
court this morning. The criminal
cases have been assigned to the second
division this term and are fewer than
usual, altho it is estimated that it will
take from five weeks to two months
to dispose of them.
The first case to come up for hear
ing in the second division was that
of the state against John Parr, OF
Rossville, who is charged with selling
mortgaged' property. Parr is in the
naval service and was arrested last
summer when he came home on a
furlo. 1t is alleged that he executed
and delivered to the Peoples State
tain live stock which, it is alleged, he
sold without the written consent of
the bank.
The first case in the first division
was that of C. r. Jones, a local real
estate man, against P. C. Thomas for
possession of property. The case is
long standing, having been started in
the court of Topeka July 10, 1918.
Here the court allowed the motion OF
the defendant to transmit the papers
to the district court because his title
to the real estate was involved, but it
was remanded to the court of Topeka
August Is. On September the case
was dismissed and an appeal to the
district court taken by the plaintiff.

SENATE NOTES
Items of Interest From Upper
House of Legislature.

Inasmuch as the legislature will for
the first time have to fix permanently
the annual maintenance appropria-
lions of the state Institutions when the
appropriation measures are intro
duced, Senator Metcalf, of Lawrence
is of the opinion that care should be
used in tampering with the amounts
asked by the administration, the in
stitution heads and the state board.
These people are authorities on the
subjects, having made a study of
them, and senators and representa-
tives who have not studied them are
liable to cause great hardships if
they blindly cut down funds" Senator
Metcalf said.
Lieut. Gov. Charles S. Huffman is
scrupulously living up to the anti-fob-
byist-anti-loafer rule adopted by the
senate and is being closer with passes
than any senate president in long
time. Not only is he showing hes
itancy about issuing the passes, but
those he issues have to be stamped by
Miss Albaush, his clerk, then they have
to be countersigned by him with real
ink and the names of the persons to
whom they go have to be inserted
in his presence.
The senate reconvened this after
noon at o'clock and tomorrow morn
ing it is expected to get into it's reg
ular pace and to begin the steady
grind on bills. Most of the senators
who spend the week end at home were
back at noon and ready for business
this afternoon.
1t is expected that the first appoint
ments of Governor Allen will be sent
to the senate for confirmation III a
very short time. Among those ex-
pected in the first batch are the new
member of the public utilities COM
mission and the new adjutant general.
Allen has already announced that
Gen. Charles I. Martin will be named
adjutant general to succeed Lieut..
Gov. Charles s. Huffman. Huffman,
however, will remain in charge of the
office for a short time. it is said. to
complete some of the draft work with
whi1h he is familiar and which he
feels obligated to get out of the way
before his successor takes over the
office
