HURON-IROQUOIS
DWELL IN ANITY
Having Smoked the Pipe of Peace
They Propose, "Now We Go Kill
Moose Together"

Penetang. Ontario, Aug. 4.--Friend
illness existed to-day between heredi-
tary Indian foes. the Hurons and the
Iroquois, whose chieftains buried the
hatchet yesterday and smoked the
pipe of peace in the presence of a
great multitude gathered on the shore
of Penetang bay for the tercentenary
celebration of the coming of the pi-
oneer, Champlain.
This ceremony ended feud that be-
gan 27l years ago when the fury Of
Hle Iroquois fighters vanquished the
Huron from the land that is now On
tario. Warfare ragged among them for
more than two centuries, but In re-
cent years they were but nominal foes.
Returning to the domain where once
his ancestors ruled, the big canoe of
Chief Divide Sioui of the Hurons
slipped upon the sands of Penetang
bay yesterday and a moment later big
Chief Andrew Stats, leader of the
Mohawk tribe OF the six nations,
stepped ashore. The chieftains, in full
regalia with great feathers in an arc
above their straight black locks, met
in the shadow of birch bark tepee.
"Now we go kill moose together
said the Huron to the Iroquois when
they had pulled at the pipe of peace
and buried the war hatchet beneath
huge red boulder.

officials planned, if possible, to spare
him from shaking hands.
The president agreed to come here
for the occasion after a committee lad

Former State Senator Irving Drew

Mr.. Currier had only one arm, hav-
ing lost the other arm while at work
in the mills at North Hartland few
years ago. He had lived at the West
boro inn for the past nine months, but
had been a resident of West Lebanon
for the past five years. III health is
supposed to have been the cause of
the act.
Currier was not what is known as a

LONGE TAKES CASE HIGHER.
Fights Verdict of Guilty of Second De.
gree Murder.

Rutland, Aug THAT Peter Longe,
who was found guilty by jury at the
March term of Rutland county court
and sentenced to life Imprisonment at
hard labor in the states prison at
Windsor for the murder of Owen Hayes
of Fair Haven, still believes the YER
dict unjust, is evidenced by the filing
with county clerk George N. Harman
of bill of exceptions whereby the ca Sc
will be taken to the Vermont supreme
court. Attorney William H. Preston
of Fair Haven is counsel for Tongue.
The bill of exceptions covers about
nine pages of single spaced typewritten
copy and is made up mostly of impor-
tant testimony given at the trial
One of the principal reasons for an
other trial is based on the testimony
given by Drs. Whitney and Stone of
the state laboratory to the effect that
Owen Hayes died from drowing.
Another important claim of the re-
spondent's attorney is that no evidence
was introduced during the trial that
warranted rendering verdict of
murder in the second degree. Attor-
ney Prestons contention is that If the
jury found that Longe killed Hayes
and committed robbery the verdict
should have been in the first degree
and if the jury failed to establish that
fact his client should have been de-
clared not guilty.
The respondent also files exceptions
to much of the other evidence that
was admitted by the court relative to

with American officers in the search
for the missing man.
In the absence of recognition of the
Mexican government by the United

the two countries is in force and the
only legal method of securing Spur
gins return to the United States is
for President obregon to order his ex-
pulsion from Mexico as a pernicious

ULSTER'S mo-
TO OVERTURES
is REPORTED
But Statement From Bel
fast Declares That Sim
Fein Proposals Have Not
Been Submitted to the
Cabinet--Premier Lloyd
George Sent Word to De
Valera

London, Aug. (By the Associated
Press The Irish situation took a
sensational turn to-day when it was
announced in Dublin that Eamon De
Valera and his associates had decided
to summon full meeting of the Irish
republican parliament to consider the
British governments Irish peace pro-
posals.
It has been repeatedly stated in
Dublin that the Dali Eireann would
not be summoned until listers atti-
tude had been learned, but concident
with the calling of the meeting of
this body, conflicting reports come
from Dublin and Belfast concerning
listers position.
In Dublin it is reported that Ulster
has been sounded and has returned an
answer unfavorable to the Sim Fen
overtures, while in Belfast, after an
important meeting OF The cabinet, it
was authoritatively stated that the
Ulster ministry had received no com.
munication from Mr.. DE Valera.
These reports at first glance seem
irreconcilable, but it is pointed out
that possibly both may be correct.
The fact that the Ulster cabinet it.
self has not received a communication
would not, it is noted, preclude the
possibility of an informal discussion
between northern and southern lead
ers.
II is understood that Premier Lloyd
George, after comforting with Sir
james Craig in London this week, sent
message to De Valera which might
account for the calling of the Dali.
The British cabinet already has
reached a decision regarding the re-
lease of members of the Dali imprs-
oned or in detention camps and it is |
understood that Dublin castle is free
20 release them as it thinks fit Mem
bers who have been on the run are
understood TO have returned to their
homes in order that they may receive
their summonses.
