The new Senate, which convened today in special session to act on nominations by President Harding, contains 59 Republicans and only 37 Democrats, giving the Republi- cans majority of 22 as against only two majority during most of the last Congress, when the lineup generally was 49 Republicans and AZ Democrats. The seating of two Republicans in January in place of Democrats gave the former a slight ly larger working margin during the last few weeks.

Before MT Marshalls suggestions had been received. the Interdepartmental Board submitted a similar proposal to the Secretary of the Interior. which was introduced in bill of fered to- both Houses of Congress.
 The amendment as enacted states: And providing further That where prospecting or exploration work is necessary to determine the exist ence or workability of coal deposits in any unclaimed, undeveloped area in Alaska, the Secretary of the In terior may issue prospecting per mits for term not to exceed four years. under such rules and reguia- tions and conditions as to develop ment as he may prescribe. to appli- cants, qualified under this act, for not exceeding 2,560 acres, and if within the time specified in Said permit the permittee shows to the Secretary of the Interior that the land contains coal in commercial quantities, the permittee shall be entitled to a lease under this act for all or any part of the- land in his permit"
 Mir. Marshall's application is the first to be received for the new prospecting permits.

WILD GEESE Fly AS 'THE WILD

Was il n good omen when, during
the filming of THE Wild Goose" at
the Cosmopolitan studio in New York,
n flock of wild geese passed owe" the
studio on their flight south, honking
merrily. Albert Capellanl, the direc-
tor, says yes, and the result it seems,
was the Paramount picture which will
be shown at the Arcade theatre sun
day.
There is an old saying among orni-
biologists that a wild goose never was
known to desert its mate and that
their devotion endures until death.
This theory has been made the basis
of a powerful story by Gouverneur
Morris, the author, which was further
strengthened in the perturbation. The
theme deals with the marital troubles
of wealthy architect because of his
romantic minded wife's infatuation
for another man.
The development or the story Is rap
id and there are numerous. dramatic
moments that thrill the spectator,
Mary MacLaren, is the wife and

cast Is excellent and it includes such
players as Dorothy Bernard, Joseph
Smiley, Norman Kerry and Rita Ro-
gan, the remarkable child actress.

FIVE THOUSAND INDIANS
PLAN TO HOLD POW WOW

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 2O.-G. N. s.
The marked advance of the Indian
in progress and civilization will be IL
lustrated during the four days, Au-
gust 1g to 22. when several thousand
Dakotans will assemble in convoca-
ton at Oak Creek. South Dakota, un-
der the leadership of the Right Rev.
Hugh Latimer Burleson, d. d. Epis-
copal bishop of the district. The In
dams will come from points within a
radius of several hundred miles, in all
sorts of conveyances, making pic
turesque procession across the prairie,
bearing aloft the banners and crosses
of the church Of which they are com
municants. On the banks of Oak
Creek they will erect a city of tepees,
in the center of which will be reared
an open-air tabernacle for the devo-
tional features OF the convocation.
which will also include a business
meeting. at which they will be ad-
dressed by the new federal commis-
sioner of Indian affairs.
The convocation will be wholly re-
'ligious in character, as distinguished
from Frontier Day celebrations and
county fair fractions, and is design
ed TO bring together in close commu-
Mon the Sioux and other tribesmen
from the Rosebud and surrounding
agencies. who, under the administra-
tions of Bishop Burleson and his pre-
decessors. have made remarkable pro-
gress in the ways of Christian civil
ization. It's special significance
this time lies in the fact that the Cen
tenary Of the Missionary Society of
the Episcopal church is being cele-
brated this year; and the meeting will
serve to illustrate this advance of the
Indian under the contributing influ-
ence Of the missionary movement dur
ing the past hundred years. On Au-
gust % the convocation will terminate,
tepees will be struck, and the Indians
will follow the trail across the prairie
to their peaceful occupations on the
farm and in store and shop.
