RULES RAILROAD MUST
 PAY OUT COMPENSATION
Commissioner Decides New Haven
 Road Is Under Connecticut

Bridgeport, April l7.-In n decision of far reaching importance Compen. sation Commissioner Edward T. Buck ingham today over ruled pleadings of the N. r., N. II. and Hartford Railroad Co. that all its employees are subject to the federal employers lia- bility act and granted compensation under the Connecticut compensation act to Lizzie Green, widow of Robert Green, Bridgeport, who was killed by Il train in the local freight yards on May II. 1922.
 Commissioner Buckingham, in awarding compensation to the widow at the rate of 315.47 week for 312 weeks. urged that the New Haven road follow the example Of the Penn sylvania railroad in accepting the state compensation laws rather than the federal law, based on interstate commerce pleas.
 Green had been employed at the local freight yards for several years. On the day he was killed, after he quit work, he ''hopped" ride on an en- zine hauling two cars to tho railroad otdtioH. III SVIIc way ls itii dlu Weo run over, sustaining mortal injuries. Commissioner Buckingham finds that Green was killed in the course of his and not through his own wilfnl or serious misconduct. Though there was a rule against Hopping" engines, no one had ever been dis charged for it. says the commissioner.
 The railroad company pleaded that Green was an employe under inter- state commerce and therefore the fed eral employers liability act and not the state compensation law should prevail The commissioner finds that Green ceased to be woking under the commerce laws when he quit work on a freight engine that had been engaged in handling inter state commerce cars.

DISCOVER ISLE
 RACE NATIVITY

HONOLULU. T. H.. Aug. 17.-Sci- entiiic data and specimens that are expected to prove of invaluable aid in solving the problem of the ori- gin of the migrations of the Poly. nesian race were brought to Homo lulu by the scientific and naval party which has just completed the third month of investigation in the Bird island reservation. several hundred miles north of the Hawaiian group, and on neighboring isles and atolls, aboard the naval minesweeper Tana- ger
 Evidence Of former habitation was discovered on the small island of Neeker, where a community apparent ly had established itself in series of caves on the side of sheer cliff. A number of stone implements and bowls, and several human bones were found there. The caves were diff- cult of access, as only one man could creep on the pathway at a time around the jutting rocks along the cliff, the scientists said
 The expedition gathered enough material to merit several months of further study, according to Dr. H. F. Gregory director of the Bishop Me scum, who is in charge of the ex- petitions.
 The scientists told of the island of Kaula with a circumference of ap- proximately a mile which was liter ally covered with millions of birds. The Tanager, sounding her siren in steaming around the island, aroused the birds until they covered the skyline like cloud
 The fourth and final expedition of the series started the other day aboard the destroyers Burns and Lud- low and the mine-sweeper Whippoor- win for Johnston island, approxi- mately 600 miles due west of, the Hawaiian group. After some tne here the expedition will move to Wake island, approximately 1900 miles west of Honolulu. Practically nothing is known of Wake island. Dr. Gregory said. t'

SEATTLE. Aug. 17--Mary Ella Fer guson a 4-year-old Seattle miss. pro bably received the last kiss bestowed upon any but a member of his family by President Warren G. Harding.
 The memory of that kiss will be cherished as such, for its claim is readily established, according to the parents of Mary Ella Ferguson. Her parents are MT. and Mrs. L s. Fergu- son of 1882 18th Ave.
 It came about in this manner.
 Dick Jervis was head of the Secret Service detail which attended Presi- dent Harding on his trip across the continent, through Alaska and back to Seattle and down to the final scene at San Francisco
 Dick Jervis is a brother 10 Mrs Ferguson; hence. an uncle to Mary Ella Ferguson. In fact the Seattle miss is Dick Jervis' only niece.
 Fond and Proud of Niece
 And. as such. he is mighty fond and proud of her. He had oppor- tunity to express this pride and ob- tain special favor for his niece during the last moments of Presi- dent Harding's visit to Seattle
 Carried in the avuncular arms. Mary Ella Ferguson was taken aboard the special train at the rail way station here as the party was about to leave for California. Wait ing until all the others had bidden the President and Mrs. Harding fare well, Dick .Jervis approached the President with request for spe- cial favor:
 He would have "Mr. Harding meet Miss Mary Ella Ferguson, my only niece
 ''I am pleased to meet Miss Fer guson, said the President. And, if l may, l would like to kiss you"
 He kissed the child on the cheek and then. taking a rosebud from his buttonhole, he said:
 And I want you to have this in memory of our meeting"
 Patted by Mrs. Harding
 "Shes a dear, dear and a beauti- full child, echoed Mrs. Harding. as she smiled on the scene. and patted Mary Ella Ferguson on the head.
 The train was moving as Mary Ella Ferguson was passed off to her parents on the platform by the proud uncle. Dick Jervis-who snatched a kiss for hfmsslf from the opposite

 In Mission Work
 As a boy, Dr. Ashley came to Mich igan from England to practice the trade of carpenter. But the mission field attracted him. and within few months he was on his way to the Da- kotas where he entered service under the late Bishop Hare. In the ensuing fifty years his life was spent among the Indians, counselling and advising them, acting as Intermediary for them in their relations with the govern ment at Washington, serving on their tribal councils, ministering to them when they were ill, acting as peace maker, drilling them in the ways of civilization. He has been the per sonaI friend and confidant of such noted chiefs as White Bear, Bad Lodge, Drifting Goose, Rain-in-the- Face, Sitting Bull, Dull Knife, Ganl and others. He has mastered half a dozen Indian dialects, and for his services in preserving the language of the Yanktons. Sissetons and other tribes of the Sioux nation he has re- ceived the degree of LID from the University of South Dakota. e. 5000 to Assemble
 On the occasion of the anniversary which will mark the meeting of the Niobrara Convocation of Chris tianized Indians,. of which Dr. Ashley is the Archdeacon, there will tassem- ble 5000 Sioux swho live under the jurisdiction of Rt. Rev. Hugh l.. Bur. leson, Episcopal Bishop of South Dakota. From radius of five hun dred miles around the Indians will come to White Horse, which is rtwen 1 ty miles from the nearest railroad station, in automobiles, in prairie | schooners, on horseback, or in primi tive conveyance made from tepee poles; and in the heart of the Great l American Desert will erect a city of tepees, in the centre of which will be thrown up an open-air tabernacle and altar.
 1 Here for four days these Christian
 Indians will hold daily worship, dis cuss the business affairs of theil church, make their annual donations for it's support, consider tribal affairs and on the final day of the Convoca ton. will give fitting observation ol the half century of service of the man whose life has been devoted tc their temporal .as well as their spiritual. welfare. In large measure | 1t will be a final meeting of the past and the present, for the Indian whom Dr. Ashley knew when he first went among them has passed on. This will be a meeting of farmers and herders, of mechanics and shop keep CTS, even of bankers and wealthy business men, for these Christianized Sioux have finally been absorbed into the civilization of the great west. Those who come in leather leggings, buckskin and feathered headpiece will simply emphasize the fact.
