The success of the undertaking

number of his priests TO accomplish

.LOWDEV Faction
WINS ILLINOIS
THAT PARTY WILL
BE DIVIDED BY FACTIONS

Chicago, Sept. 16.-tThe Illinois
Republican party may present tick
ct at the November elections divided
between Thompson and Lowden fac
tions, according to indications early
today based on the incomplete re-
turns from yesterdays primaries.
Thompson candidates won Cook coun-
ty, including Chicago, piling up a
plurality here close to 100000. As
returns started coming in from down
state, however, the Lowden slate
showed large gains. Average gains
per precinct outside of Cook county
thus far If maintained probably will
result in Lowden's victory.

SIOUX PRESENT
GREAT PAGEANT
FEATURE CONVOCATION-FIRsT
OF KIND EVER PUT ON BY
INDIANS

Springfield, Sept. 16.-An out
standing feature of convocation of
the Indians of Nebraska and South
Dakota who are members of the
Episcopal church, held at Santee In
dian agency, Nebraska, was page
ant presented by the Indians them
selves. 1t is claimed that this was
the first pageant ever presented by
Indians anywhere in the United
States.
Several thousand Indians from the
reservations of South Dakota and
Nebraska attending the convocation.
Among the leading white church
men who were present was Bishop
Burleson, of Sioux Falls. He acted
as president of the gathering, and
was assisted by Bishop Remington,
Bishop Shayler, Archdeacon Ashley,
Dean Baptiste Lambert and the Rev.
William Hilmes.
The pageant presented by the In
dians themselves was descriptive of
the history of the Indians from the
days of savagery to the days OF
Christianity and the Christian min
istry.
The mistress of the pageant was
Miss Ella Deloria, daughter OF Rev.
p. J. Deloria, who in the old days OF
Indian warfare was one of the chiefs
of the famous Sioux medicine man,
Sitting Bull.
Rev. Mr.. Deloria was the first In
dian to be ordained to the Christian
ministry by the late Bishop William
Hobart Hare.
Never before this pageant had an
Indian nation in the history of the
United States set itself to picture in
living figures the progress made
| through the Christian faith.
All the chief evens in the history
] OF the Sioux nation were portrayed
from the early wars with other In
dian tribes and the soldiers Of Uncle
Sam, to the present day of peact
and prosperity among the Indians
with thousands Of them now mem
bers of church organizations.

deal with.

unidentified. Department of justice
officials said their reports indicated
that the explosion was the result of
a plot. One theory is that bomb

least 100 miles in depth and it's total
weight is about five quadrillion tons.
1t is divided into layers and the low
