supplying furniture and furnishings
for the building.
Bids will also be invited for the side
walks and driveway curbing, and the
making of a lawn.
A volunteer fire company will be
formed in the near future, embracing
in its membership men of Mortified,

NEW YORK, June 21-It is the

leaders outside the McAdoo and
Smith ranks that conditions now in
dicate the improba bility Of either Mr..
McAdoo or Gov. Smith being nomi-
mated and that the convention will
be forced to take another. This will
be done by sifting-out process
through long series of ballots.
Senator Ralston Of Indiana Senator
Glass Of Virginia, John w. Davis OF
West Virginia and James NJ. Cox OF
Ohio are discussed as possibilities.
While Gov. Smith is genuinely con-
fidenu he will eventually be the choice
of the convention and Mr. McAdoo's S
manager persists in loudly proclaim
ing that victory will perch upon his
banner, the hard boiled politicians,
looking over the cards as they fall,

PANAMA, June 21.-Richard o.
Marsh, the explorer, who recently
reached Colon with three blond
Indians, brought from the jungles of
Darien, is preparing to leave for the
United States with his charges next
Thursday.
In discussing the success of his ex-
pedition he is quoted by the Panama
Star-Herald as saying:
THE Darien Indians were hereto
fore supposed to consist of only two
types, the San Bias from the Atlantic
coast and the Chocoi from the Pacific.
We have found at least six entirely
different races of Indians and brought
back three different kinds. All will be
turned over to the scientists of the
Smithsonian Institution and the
American Museum of Natural History
for examination"
Dr. Charles NJ. BREEDER, scientist at
tached to the expedition by the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, de-
scribes the Indians as having golden
hair, hazel blue eyes and white, ten
der skins" Their skulls he declares
are of unusual size and shape, being
large, round and decidedly different
from the typical San Bias.
Mr.. Marsh claims the White Indians
have from Is to 20 per cent greater
brain capacity than the average white
man."

Thorough "housecleaning" in the

Acting Postmaster General John II.
Bartlett indicated today.
Stating that he saw no especial
need at this time for the use of ma
rines, as utilized on mail trains and
at post Offices a few years ago, Mr..
Bartlett said that the real need is
for wedding out the few criminals
that remain in the service.

SEES POSSIBLE ACCORD.
German Deputy Holds Dawes Re
port Furnishes Basis.

PARIS, June 21.-"Do you believe
in the possibility of an agreement be-
tween France, Great Britain and Ger
many based on the Dawes report"
the newspaper LOeuvre asked the
German Socialist deputy Breitscheid.
whom Premier Herriot received
Thursday evening.
Yes, / believe such an accord is
possible" he replied. Germany has
accepted the report by vote of the
ReichStag and the government is pre-
pairing laws for its execution. The
other governments have accepted or
will do so. There is the basis for
the pacification of Europe"
Herr Breitscheid, however. was dis
turbed by the conditions attached by
Premier Herriot to the evacuation of
the Ruhr.
Germany will never understand
this phrase" he said. To my under
standing all the guarantees and all
pledges are given in the experts re-
port, and if others are demanded they
will be the inevitable germ OF fresh
difficulties and fresh dissensions.
The deputy believes the best means
of obtaining security Is a policy of
reconciliation between the two ma
tions. While recognizing the diff
culties of such a policy, he holds that
it is possible to bring it about.
