 She is Mrs. Agnes Celia Poole and is opposed in her suit by Mrs. Carolina Alderman Girard, Peters widow, and Miss Mary F. Pierce, an adopted daughter. Peter married Caroline deserting his ha1f-Indian, half-French woodlands bride.
 Though no justice Or priest wed Peter and the half-breed woman, it is alleged by Mrs. Poole's attorneys that they were actually married by the only law the woodlands knew that of agreement.
 Peter Girard, who in later life was Justice of the Peace and Postmaster at Connor's Creek, was seventeen years of age when he ran away from Detroit to the Baraga County back woods He had quarrelled with Chris topher Girard, his father. He was twenty when he met and went to live with Julia Countwai Tebeau, the half-breed.

Fordney Emergency Bill, Bearing
Score of Amendments, Sent
to Conference at Once.
VOTE STOOD 43 TO 30
Senator Moses Arraigns Act Saying il
Was "Unscientific" and Designed
to Fool the Farmer Rather
Than Aid Him.

Observation-Disclosures down with
more than a score Of amendments, the
Fordney emergency tariff bill passed
the Senate. The vote was 43 to 80.
The cas- was Immediately SEN to
conference.
Action on the bill, designed and
rushed through the House as an aid
to the farmer, came after a protracted
session, during which four Republican
senators broke away from their party
alignment, and two of them, Edge of
New Jersey and Moses of New Hamp-
shire, bitterly assailed the measure
and its Republican supporters. Like
wise, solidarity of the Democratic
ranks could not be maintained, nine Of
the minority members being recorded
in favor of the bill.
Fordney to Sound Harding.
While the Senate was in the throes
of the heated debate on the emer-
gency tariff, the House Ways and
Means committee was concluding open
hearing on revision of the permanent
law. With that work out of the way,
Chairman Fordney will leave for
another conference with President
elect Harding at st. Augustine. 1t is
understood he will ask the next Chief
executive for a definite expression as
to his views on the legislative pro-
gram outlined by Republican leaders
and whether he favors immediate cen
sideration by Congress of tariff legis-
iation rather than action on matters
of taxation.
The speech by Senator Moses
against the emergency bill was filled
with a series Of caustic shots at his
Republican colleagues. He declared
that every senator knew that the bill,
if it should become a law, would avail
nothing, and he challenged denial by
any senator that it was "unscientiic
and designed to fool the farmer rather
than aid him"
Predicts Wilson Excoriation.
The Republican party cannot go be-
fore the country with such a meas
ure," asserted Senator Moses. at can
only give to President Wilson, who
was SO thoroughly repudiated in No
vember, an opportunity to excoriate
the Republican party, and, believe me,
he will do it when this thing gets to
him.
Why, this bill is lopsided, it's blind
and it's deaf, and it has the ricketts,.
It's a combination between the rice
paddles, the cane brakes, the cattle
ranges, the sheep runs, and the wheat
fields. and how a support it, ever
though | am for protection through
and through, l know not"

Makes PLEA FOR UNITY
King George Urges Irish Against
Violent Methods.
Opposition to Lloyd George Ministry
Seems to Have Reached
a Climax.

London-Violence will not solve the
Irish problem, King George declared
here in his speech from the throne to
the two houses of Parliament in for
mally opening the session. One of the
outstanding sections of his address re-
ferred to Ireland, the king saying:
"The situation in Ireland still causes
me distress. A misguided section of
the Irsih people persists in resorting
to methods of criminal violence with
the object of establishing an indepen-
dent republic.
Neither Irish unity nor Irish self
government can be attained by this
MEANS"
The kings speech was brief, but
touched on numerous vital questions
confronting the government. At the
outset it referred to the coming con
ferences to be held in London and at
tended by the representatives of Allied
nations. Germany and Turkey.
Il earnestly trust" said King George,
that by this means further progress
may be made in giving effect to
treaties of peace in re-establishing con-
cord in Europe and restoring tran
guilty in the Near East"
King George expressed himself as
favorably disposed toward a CONNER
cial treaty with Soviet Russia saying:
Cabinet Faces Opposition.
New political ~alignments and the
proposal Of legislative and govern
mental issues of tremendous import to
the people of Great Britain we're fore
Swallowed when Parliament re-assem-
bled. Opposition to the Lloyd George
ministry and discomfort with many of
the policies it has pursued in the re-
cent past, seemed to have reached q
climax, and it appeared the stability of
the cabinet would be given it crucial
test before the final adjournment of
the session next summer.

TEXANS CLASH ON
FLOOR OF HOUSE
Stormiest Session in Years Is
Launched When BIanton Is
Accused of FaIsity.
OUTBREAK ANTICIPATED
Letters to Texas Newspapers Charging
Members With Plan to Raid Treas
ury and Obtain Salary Increases
Forces Bitter Attack.

Neutrality-suspicious., cat calls and
the word liar were shouted on the
floor Of the House in the stormiest ses-
sion in years. The uproar started
when Representative Summers Of
Texas, having left a sick bed, ap-
peared. and, supported by most Texas
members, launched an attack on his
colleague, Representative Blanton.
When Mr., Summers stepped forward,
with a faded newspaper clipping in his
hand, nearly every Texas members
was present, evidently anticipating the
outbreak.
Read by the clerk, the clipping re-
yealed that Mr.. Blanton, in a letter to
Texas newspapers, had charged mem
bers with a concerted plan to raid the
Treasury and obtain salary increases,
which he alone had prevented. The
press vas asked to help, and many
papers to which appeal was made re-
sponded with bitter assaults on those
charged with backing the alleged
salary grab.
There was q tense moment as the
reading was concluded and Mr.. Sum-
ners stepping close to Mr.. Blanton,
shook his fist in Blanton's face and
dramatically shouted:
And when you sent that statement
10 Texas you knew it was as false as
hell"
House Breaks Into Tumult.
The House broke into a wild shout,
half the membership rising, Blanton,
jumping to his feet, and trying to make
nimself heard, demanded the right to
speak. He was howled down, the
chair sustained a point of order that
ne could not be heard at that time on
d question OF personal privilege.
Mr. Summers, walking back and
forth. continued the attack. The
speech was constantly interrupted
with shouting at the conclusion of
almost every sentence of denunciation.
Mr.. Summers declared the record
showed that no effort had been made
10 slip through a salary increase bill.
The question had come up twice in
the present Congress. Mr.. Summers
said, and it vas knocked out on points
Of order by Representative Wood, Re,
publican. Of Indiana.
Mr.. Blanton. he asserted, was not
even lin on the wake"
BlantOn strove vainly TO make him
self heard. AS Mr.. Sumner turned
toward his seat another group of mem
bers started toward him to offer con-
gratulations. Mr.. Blanton, his voice
still pitched high, again attempted to
gain a hearing. Again he was howled
down.
Siemp of the subcommittee in charge
Of the Notifications bill, which was be-
fore the House, gave the Texan three
minutes to reply, but nobody could
hear what he said.
