INDIAN SKELETON OF
 GREAT AGE IS FOUND

WATERTOWN, N. r., Nov. 8.-A skeleton of an Indian believed to have been buried before Columbus touched the shores of America, has been ex- humeG not far from this city by an exploration party headed by Nathan Lucas, authority in Indian lore.
 Finding of the skeleton perfectly preserved, in sort of rude fireplace, far below the surface of the earth, in a strata of gravel, has aroused wide spread interest among historical so- cieties throughout New York state.
 Sand about the burial spot was as dry as if it had been baked in the sun. This, according to Lucas, kept the skeleton intact despite it's five centuries of rest without the protec- tion of the walls of coffin.
 Taken from the base of the old fire place, the skeleton was placed in an auto and brought here for exhibition in the Historical department of the Indian museum.
 It is believed that the legs of the once living Indian were bound in the trussed position in which they were found when the searching group dis covered the remains. The hand of the right arm was pressed closely over the front of the skull.
 Indications were, according to the society, that the Indian was placed in a prayerful position before the living burial took place.
 Only three instruments were found near the skeleton-one a sewing awl, another a polished bone headed in- strument, and the third a broken awl made from bone. This strengthens the belief that the skeleton is that of Q woman.

DAUGHTER GETS BOB;
 FATHER SUES BARBER

PARIS, Nov. S.-Bobbing hair without papa's consent is danger ous business in France.
 Just recently an irate parent brought suit against a Paris coffeur who cut off his daughters locks without first getting the authoriza- tion of the father. The eighteen year-old girl in question had been waiting for a long time to be rid of her woman's glory. But papa, who is a prominent Deputy, forbade her sternly to touch the sacred hair on her head. She didn't; but one day, when father was busy at the Chamber, mademoiselle hied herself to the Coiffeur's and said:
 "Cut 'eem off queeck!"
 When the Deputy came back to his house there was nice little scene with daughter, and then he proceeded to the poor barber, who, of course, was unable to repair the trouble The father at once began legal proceedings; and now the bar bers around the city are wondering what to do. They contend that they can only follow orders given them and with that their responsibility ends. It will be difficult matter, indeed, if it becomes necessary to exact written permission from the parent or husband every time the hair is wanted short.
 The truth of the matter is that before the affair can be settled there will be no occasion for bobbing locks, especially in Paris.

PROSPECTORS ENROLL
 FAIRBANKS COLLEGE

It seems more natural around the College these days for the prospectors are back, says the Fairbanks News Miner. They are making hay during the dormant period of winter and they will be back in the hills next sea- son with broader vision and renew ed vigor for their work. A visitor finds them working in the laborator- ies, between classes telling yarns in the smoking room and at noon you will be certain to find them in the lunch room, fast becoming unused to their own cooking.
 Work began last Monday and to date there are eleven enrolled. Sew eral more have sent word that they are coming. Those now enrolled are: Harry Owens from the Kantishna. Gt is needless to say that he is pros pector, for everyone in the Kantish- na is prospector); George Foy from the Chandalar; B. E. Snuff, from Rich ardson: Otto Daun from the Good pasture country; John Macdonald from the Willow Creek District; Matt Casalegno and c. P. Guis, placer op- orators near Fox; John Lewis, John Fox and H. B. Norman, registered from Fairbanks. Mrs. Horning, who is associated with her husband in the Mabel mine of the Willow Creek dis trict is the only woman enrolled. She brought along shipment of mill tailings from the mine which she will experiment with to determine what additional values can be recovered by the cyanide process.

Trial of Death and Misery
 In Wake Rich Alin Mine

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. sc. V. Bob, president of the Engineer Gold Mines, Ltd, owners of the Engineer gold mine of Atlin, V. C., said to be the richest in the world, branded as absurd the story told by an inmate of the Oklahoma state insane asylum that he is Capt. James Alexander, one of the former owners of the mine which British Columbia police are in vestigating.
 Bob said that Capt. Alexander is known to have perished aboard the steamship Princess Sophia, which went down during a storm on the Lynn canal, in October, 1918. The mining company presidents statement revealed a story of i'll fortune and tragedy attending those who was con- nected with the mine.
 The discoverer of the mine, an en- gineer who helped survey the White Pass and Yukon railroad, was mur- dered on the shores of Atlin lake, while on the way to Victoria with a shipment of gold ore. A violent end also came to the manager and fore man of the property. The latter kill ed the former and paid the penalty with his own life. The mine was then bought by Capt. Alexander, soldier of fortune, who won his rank in the Boer war, and several associates.
 Capt. Alexander gained reputa- ton in the north country for being able to drink more booze and fight harder than any man in the north. It was we'll known that he would pro- duce $50,O00 to $100,000 with a small crew of men each season on the Engi- neer mine, and would spend it in the Pacific coast towns in the winter and return in the spring to repeat the same performance.
 The captain finally sold Allen Smith of Philadelphia an interest in the mine for S25O,O0O. With this money he bought out his associates. In 1918 he granted an option on the property to the mining corporation of Canada, and it was in company with two of the corporations engineers, who had just inspected the holdings, that Capt. Alexander was making a trip to the Outside aboard the ill-fated Prin- cess Sophia. The entire passenger list of 268 were drowned, and among the bodies recovered one was identi- fled as that of Capt Alexander and buried in Juneau.
 Immediately after the death of Capt. Alexander, a MT. Grant, one of the former associates of Capt. Alex ander committed suicide in Vancou- yer. The captain had bequeathed all his interests in the mine to Smith.
 Later Smith also committed suicide, and as a result long court battle over the property took place in the Canadian courts, finally being car ried to the house of lords, who vested it in the Smith estate.
 In 1923 the present owners of the mine acquired the property.

"And 80 the Supreme Court ofthe
United States has stood as the inter
prefer and the defender of the funda-
mental law ordained calmly and un-
iinchingly TO our day. Although but
forty-fye decisions have been render
ed declaring null acts of Congress.
each one has been followed by an as
sault upon the court by those radical
people who often, with good intentions
would violate the fundamental law TO
accomplish their purposes.
"Of late, under the leadership OF not
less than four United States Senator'S.
many members Of Congress-. some
Governors of States, an effort Is be-
ing made either by amendment TO the
Constitution or by legislation. to re-
strict the power of the court. All
this Is of a piece with that Ignorance
and irreverent attitude which would
lay hands upon the very charter OF
American liberty and set up the will
OF a temporary majority as against
the principles laid down by the Dec
laration of Independence Of the in
aiienable right Of the individual. IL
is a striking evidence Of the un-Amer-
lean idea of the power of the State In
making II supreme whether IL be the
representation of a temporary major
ity or of an individual monarch.
Il have taken this particular EVIL
dence of un-American attitude OF mind
as one of the most striking. IL "

to legislation that would be subversive
of those inherent rights that we have
come to look upon as automatic

speedy hearing and trial in criminal
freedom of religion, theright to a
ness, covering freedom of conscience,
cases, and ali those gains OF indivi-
dual freedom which have been the
fruit of experience of conflict between
the tyrant and the people.

contribution was first a written Con

people deliberately restrained them
selves from hasty action and constt-
tuted an impartial tribunal to warn
them when they overpassed their self
imposed bounds.

DANGERS WHICH THREATEN

John Marshall. sitting as Chief JUS
tice with his colleagues of the Su-
preme Court, was called upon, In 1908
to decide for the first time upon the
power OF the Federal Judiciary 70 pass
upon the constitutionality of acts oil
| Congress. In simple, vigorous lang
uage, with irresistible logic, ne dem
onstrated that power. He showed the
original right of the people to estab-
lish for their future government such
principles as in their opinion would
most conduce to their W happiness,
and when those principles were estab-
lished they we're fundamental Inc de
signed to be permanent. He showed
! that originally a supreme viii organ
ICES the governments and assigns to
the different departments their res

will may stop at that point or estab-
fish certain limits mo- to be tran
scended by those departments. The
Government of the United States is
divided into the legislative, the exc
| cutive, and the judicial. The powers
OF the legislative are defined and limit
ed and that those limits may not be
mistaken or TO- gotten the Constitu-
ton is written. The Chief Justice
.. asks:
To what purpose are powers linn
tied, and to what purpose is that linn
itation committed to writing II these
/ limits may at any time be passed by

distinction between governments with

is a proposition too plain to be con-
tested that the Constitution controls

that the legislature way alter the
