SAUNDERS ASKS REPORT IN SUIT
 BE SET ASIDE
Personal Bias On Part Of Master In Chancery
 Charged
(By Associated Press. ]

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 18.-Clar- ence Saunders filed q petition in United States district court here today ask ing that the report and all the mat ters and actions undertaken and done by c. l.. Marsilliot, federal master in chancery, in suits pending between Saunders and the Piggly Wiggly cor poration be vacated and set aside.
 Mir. Saunders charged personal bias . on the part of Mir. Marsilliott. The application was addressed to Judge Smith Hickenlooper, who recently was named to sit in cases between Saun- ders and the Piggly Wiggly corpora tion in place of Judge J. W. Ross, who voluntarily recused himself
 In his petition today Mr. Saunders made charges against Mir. Magsilliot somewhat similar to those he filed in a petition recently against Judge Ross. In addition to allegations of personal bias," Mir. Saunders declared that "in- volved business connections" had ;n- fluenced Mr.. Marsilliot in his report.
 "Mr. Marsilliot is incapacitated by his own and the acts of others to properly discharge the acts of master in these causes," the petition said. 'The standing master has been guilty of such gross misbehavior and wrongful conduct as to disqualify him and has placed himself in the position of agent for Judge Ross whereby the said disqual- flied judge and other parties have put themselves and the said master under financial obligations to parties adversely interested to the petitioners"
 The petition further alleges that MT. Marsilliot acted as referee in bank ruptcy and as standing master on re- lated cases in violation of law and that he had allowed himself to be used as the agency through whom bank ruptcy court funds were made a basis for personal loans to Judge Ross" An alleged loan of $1O,000 made to the judge by S. N. Butler, president of Memphis bank, is cited in the petition, after MT. Marsilliot had made the bank a bankruptcy depository. The petition is n voluminous document con- taining about 4,000 words

IROQUOIS INDIANS
 ADOPT OLD RITES
White Mans God Not Satisfying,
 Says Chief,

MONTREAL, Oct. 1S.-The Iro- quois Indians on the Caughnawaga reservation across the St. Lawrence river from here, are dissatisfied with modern religions and are returning to the pagan faith, according to Chief Dominic Two Axe.
 HNummbers of us have goine. back to our own religious rites which date far back beyond all known cilizations, ' Chief Two Axe declared in an inter. view "NWe are throwing off the arti. facilities which the white men have constantly endeavored to impose upon Us. We hold our land from time i'm. luemoral aSd our rights were recognized under the French regime, which. were confirmed by solemn treaty with King George III. Why should we not be left alone?
 HWe have our own religion and oul own code of laws, and these we in sist upon exercising upon our own peo pie and within our own. reservations At. present in Caughnawaga there is the Roman Catholic law and the Protestant law, the civil law and the law of the Indian act None of these satisfy the needs of ;oar2 people, and their number is confusing. .t -
 "A big movement is on foot among Iroquois all over America. to bring all our. tribesmen back to their old cults and ceremonies. It is said that they have. been in disuse so long that they ara forgotten and we cannot go back, but that is not the case. In spite of the white mans innovations and the teach ing of his peculiar religions, the tradi- ti6ns of our ancestors have been handed down from mother. to babe throughout the ages Theg. will, liEesas long as the sun shines, and the rain falls, and the grass grows"
 The village of Caughnawaga has a population of about 1000, and was prominent in newspaper stories during the. James A.. Stillman divorce hearings because of the fact that Fred Beauvais, named correspondent by the New York banker. was native of Caughnawaga

(COnGlnuSu rEOm T6SC 4.y wife of James E. Ferguson, who has been declared by the state senate to be ineligible henceforth to hold office in Texas"
 Complete Victory
 The decision is regarded as com plete and final victory. not only for Mrs. Ferguson, not only for the women of Texas, but for women throughout the land, as it was one of the first cases to directly test the effect of the suffrage amendments.
 The suffrage amendments to the fed eral constitution and the state con stitution were interpreted as giving women not only the right to vote, but also the right to hold office. To hold to the contrary would be to create a rule out of accord with the customs of the time and the morals of the people, the court held. as4.r ht
 The statute under which Dickson brought his suit is an 9amendment to a previous statute attempting to'define those eligible, to office in Texas!
 Utterly Void
 Insofar as this act related to of- fieers such as the governor, whose quail nications had, been particularly and carefully and differently enumerated in the constitution, it cannot be doubted that it was utterly void," said the opin- ion. The matter is for determination by the legislature, said the court
 In reference to the eligibility of wo- men to hold office, the court said :: Where the. competency of women to hold office fin Texas is challenged the fundamental inquiry is as to the ex- tent of restrictions on the people in their sovereign capacity with respect to freedom of choice of their public serv- ants. No further authority need be cited to demonstrate the correctness of this position than the language which this court through its great Justice Reuben K. Gaines, quoted with ap- proval in Stenoff against state, as fol- lows: Eligibility to office is not de- clared as a right of principle by any express terms of the constitution but it results as just deduction from the express powers and provisions of the system. The; basis of the principle is the absolute liberty of the electors and the appointing authorities to choose and appoint any person who is not made ineligible by the constitution. Eligibil- ity to office, therefore, belongs not ex- clusively or specifically to electors en- toying the right of suffrage. It belongs equally to all persons whomsoever not excluded by the constitution

Husband Understands, She Says, In Search
 Of Personalities

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Just to be on the safe side in case the unscrambling of the Gould estate should cost so much money that there won't be any left for the heirs, Gloria Gould Bishop, daugh- ter of George Gould, sister of Lady Decies, brother of Kingdom Gould and wife of one of the painfully wealthy Bishops, is about to open dancing school in New York.
 The Gould estate is being unscrambled at a cost of several thousand dollars an hour before a referee. Gloria prob ably isn't much troubled about it, though, because her husband is wealthy enough to keep the winter and summer homes in good shape and all their au- tomobiles running.
 Aspirations actually prompted Gloria to become teacher of the joys of rhythmic cadenees as express by the human form. The young woman didn' t define the pinnacle to which she aspires, but it is not unlikely that she would like to be the most graceful dancer in the world. Just that and nothing more.
 Hubby Understands
 Friend husband is quite aware of her aspirations and he understands them, Gloria says.
 Shoals of applications to be tutored in terpischore by a daughter of the Goulds have been delivered to Gloria, but she has her own ideas of what her pupils must be.
 T want to teach persons, not figure heads" she explained. T want to teach them the beauties of the dance. What does it matter what your name is Vanderbilt or Smith--so long as you have vivid personality"
 My pupils shall not be limited to the social register"
 Personality is what Gloria is looking for. If, when and where she finds it the possessor may learn from the pretty heiress the proper pastures, genuflec- tiOns, whirls and swoops with which that personality may be expressed. A handful of prospective pupils has been selected in preparation for the opening of the Gould course of dancing on No vember 4.
 Accepts Army Officer
 Among the lucky ones are an army officer who had something to do with the late war, young member of the stock exchange, who began in Wall Street as an office boy, an aviator, the heir to great fortune and a newspaper reporter. Each of these men has the vivid, compelling personality that Gloria seeks.
 The strange thing about it is that Gloria knows all about the subject she plans to teach; in happy contrast with some others born to the diamond horse shoe of the metropolitan who sought escape from ennui by way of career. This one of the Goulds Is an honor graduate of a school of professional dancing. Ada Gray Barker, who will be her partner, likewise completed a professional dancing course with honors.
 The Gould family is said to approve of GlOria's adventure. She is highly enthusiastic and the only other person involved, her husband, understands. 1"

COOLIDGE URGES
 SHOALS BOARD
fContinued From Page Il

(Continued. From Page 1.)
 in some respects similar to a measure Senator Underwood put through the senate some years ago, but which the house failed to pass. It will provide for permanent commission to be ap- pointed by the President consisting of an equal number of democrats and re- publicans, this commission to control all the Muscle Shoals enterprises.
 Would Assure Fertilizer
 The bill would provide that the plants be operated to their capacity in the pro- duction of fertilizer to be sold at low, specified profit, and that power be fur nished these plants at cost that the plants be maintained in standby coudi- tion so that they could be instantly utilized for the production of explosives in the event of war; that the govern ment should experiment. in fixation of nitrogen processes so that pace in this direction could be maintained with all other. nations~s S2a
 The fight in congress, it is apparent, would be regarding details of this bill. There is one school, it appears, which would follow the advice of Mir. Ford, and lease all the Muscle Shoals enter prises to one corporation; another school would lease fertilizer plants to one corporation, and the remaining pow CT to another.
 Ford Might Re-Enter
 Under such a bill Mir. Ford might be drawn again into the competition. It is certain that inasmuch as he has dis played interest, he would be asked to accept the terms provided in the bill. MT. Ford has intimated that if the gov eminent should submit bid to him, he would consider it.
 Senator Underwood, who will take the lead in the Muscle Shoals fight be- ginning the day on which congress re- conyenes and continuing until the prob lem is solved, has not divulged any plan he might have under consideration. It is understood, however, that the demo- crats will have quite definite scheme agreed upon before the battle is joined.
 There is positive indication that sena- tors Nfrom states near to Alabama will insist that surplus Muscle Shoals power he disseminated. Little doubt is enter tained, however, but that they will be satisfied.
