Sioux Abolish Tribal Dances
Except for Braves Over Sixty

and similar ceremonies had become
practically obsolete mere IN the Indian
country AS the Indians embraced
Christianity and took their places
among the white men, these ancient
relics of their former faith were
abandoned.
In war time there was a partial re-
vival Of the dances in connection with
the raising of funds for war purposes.
With the return of peace the Indian
has shown an increasing tendency to go
back to ancient customs.
The question as one of moral stand
ards. There was no fear of the Indian
taking up the ghost dance or the war
dance with paint and feathers as of
old but some of the other dances,
however, were said to have q democrat
izing effect.
Domlnick Longbow, a Creek, spoke
long and earnestly against the \dance,
but the most effective address was
made in eloquent Sioux by Spotted
Eagle. an old medicine man of the
Cheyenne tribe. oldest brave in the
camp and a convert to Christianity
who urged moderate view of the sit
uation. While inclning to defend the
dance as part of cherished Indian Gus
toms, he contended the decision as to
how often and in what sort of dance a
man should indulge should be left to
the individual conscience Of each brave

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-Wood-

made at the University Of Pennsylva-
MIA. where gargoyle depicting be-
goggled figure representing the former
President with his hands clenchcd
around the throat of the former Mexi-
can executive was found on the north
wall OF a dormitory erected at the time
relations between the United States
and Mexico were strained.
at was a little joke such as is often
made in architecture" said George B.
Page, who designed the structure.
"Thc building was erected at the
time when Wilson and Huerta were
having their political struggles and we
INCORPORATED the idea into the carving
on the wall of the dorlnitory."
The carving is made even more gro
tesoue by the ivy which is fast cover
ing it and which now hangs in fcstoons
from Mr.. Huerta's head.
The walls Of all the dormitores are
decorated with carvings and gargoyles.
Many have to do with important events
in the history Of the university. The
Wilson- -Hucrta carving, which is con-
spicuous, is the only one with political
significance.

Cirder Weakness and Engine
Trouble Charged; May De.
lay Sailing Over Winter

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Unless the diri-
giblc ZR-2 sails for the United States
during the next three or four weeks
she PROBABLY will nave to wait until
next year because of weather cond
tions. according to The Observer, which
asserts that defects in the dirigibie,
which had been kept secret for four or
five weeks, are no longer a secret.
During the first trials of the ZR-2.
the newspaper says, a tendency of the
great balloon to 'hump" developed, and
an inspection revealed that certain
girdcrs had bent and that lattice work
had buckle4 under the strain Remedial
measures were taken, including consid-
cradle reinforcement of the framework
along much of the airship's 695 feet of
length. This involved additional weight,
the newspaper states, and n slight de-
crease in the load the dirigiblc can lift.
In addition to this structural trouble,
The Observer asserts, the ZR-2 has been
handicapped by engine difficulty. but it
adds that the element of weather is the
one which is causing the present delay
in the final tests.

AO~DON, Aug. 21.-Whatever form
the coming reply of the Irish Repub-
llcans to the British peace proposals
may take, it is said authoritativelv
that it will represent the unanimous
view of Sim Fein's political and mill
tary leaders. The rumor that Arthur
Griffith, founder of Sim Fein and its
president, will break with Eamon
De Valera, its president, and lead an
independent, moderate party can be
denied definitely. Its origin can be
traced to the same source which in
spired the announcement that John
Mckeown would not be released and
Its object questionably is to en-
barrass the negotiators, for there are
still some persons who are anxious to
block a settlement
The Tribune's Dublin correspondent
has talked with both De Valera and
1rlftlth since the last public session
OF the Dali Eireann and they assured
him that there was not the least d.
vergence OF opinion between them. al
though temperamentally they ale radi-
cally different. Neither desires to re-
sumo hositilities and both want peace
with honor. The, Sim Fein leaders
believe they hold valuable strategic
position and they show no intention
OF being rushed by friends or enemies.
Still Hope FOR Solution
Hope that peaceful solution will
be reached has mot been abandoned in
either London or Dublin. Indicative
OF the present situation is the fact that
Belfast believes the Dali will accent
the offer and the political war will be
transferred to northeast Ulster. where.
in the counties of Tyrone and Fer
managh ana in Derry City, the anti
government forces are particularly

OKREEK, S. D.. Aug. 21.-The con-
vocation of Sioux Indians in session
here for the last three days, under the
auspices of the Episcopal Church, to-day
went on record as opposed to the re-
vival of dancing among their tribe
people.
Following the powwow of yesterday,
at which the matter was threshed out,
a report in the form of memorial to
the Rt. Rev. Hugh L. Burleson, Epis-
copal Bishop of the state, was presented
to the convocation:
"Realizing the necessity for progress
and industry and the moral interest of
the Indian. people," the report says,
1--WE would represent that the revival
of Indian customs is injurious and in
many instances leads to immortality and
the disobedience of the laws of the
country, and we would further pray
that the Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs extend to our people such wise
counsel and advice as will lead our
people to think more of the future than
the past. and that Indian dances upon
the reservations, if permitted at all, be
confined to those who are sixty years
of age and upwards"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-~ Bids of
S2,100 each for 205 wooden vessels. sub
mitted by the Construction and Trading
Corporation Of New York, have been
accepted by the Shipping Board, it
was announced officially tonight.
A contract for sale between the cor
poration and the Shipping Board has
been drawn up under direction of Com
missioner Edward c. Plummer and will
be approved by the board Tuesday, pro
viding the purchaser completes the re-
quired bond. Under its terms the
board will receive Is per cent of the
total sale price of s43o,500 in cash and
pro rata portion of the balance upon
delivery of each vessel.
Mr.. Plummer said tonight the board
had devoted great deal of time to
the study Of the bids in view of "the
terribly low prices which were Of
fered," but considered that the best
thing under the circumstances would
be to accept the offered price for part
of the fleet. The vessels cost the board
from 100000 to $SO0,0o each.
AS to the vessels retained, Commits
sioner Plummer explained, the Ship
ping Board was considering the pos
sibility Of their utilization as pontoons
for the proposed bridge across the Hud-
son River at New York City.

ships built under the pressure of war
necessity, at cost of approximately
$15,00O,00O, rids the Shipping Board of
what had come to be one Of its most
embarrassing white elephants The
greatest difficulty had been found in
getting any bids whatever on the fleet
of wooden ships. which, at the time
they were first projected, were to
bridge the Atlantic with supplies for
the American army.
On July 80 last it was announced that
fifteen bids had been received. One of
them, from Seattle, offered $40 ship
for ten ships. The bid Of the Ship Con-
struction and Trading Company of New
York was among the ten. Pendleton
Brothers, another New York firm, bid
$4,000 for five ships, and Forestall &
MacQuaid, Of Seattle, offered S25,57 for
forty three ships. There were 297 YES
sells altogether.
The sale of the wooden fleet WAS in
conformity with the advice of President
Harding to the new Shipping Board
two months ago to dispose Of the ex-
siy1s pensTs legacies s;sd of the war at the beas
The facts concerning the cost of the
wooden feet were revealed nearly two
years ago in the report of Charles Pez,
director general of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, who admitted that
they had been built under conditions
which in normal times would be consid-
cred wasteful, but which were justifi "a
by the pressing necessity of increasing
transport facilities to supply the army
in France.
The average contract price, said Mr..
Piez's report, was $615,526 vessel.
Cancellations at the time of the ar
mistice increased this to S669,665 and
the cost per ton to $225.11. 1t devel-
oped, his report said, that the wooden
hulls revealed many isadvantages.
