During the argument the pasteboard

Goddard said that microscopic

fired from the same gun.
Concerning the photographs. the wit

that they were photographs of the

positive?" said Justice Parker, and

Dance by Hopi Indians Before Capitol
Is Prayer for Rain-and 1t Pours

warning to other tribes; the buffalo
dance, prayer for snow, and, as a cli-
max, the Hopi snake dance. In this
ceremonial the leader of the band of
five Indians extracted an Arizona des-
ert snake from a box and pranced in
circle around the platform with the
snake uplifted in his hands, while one
of his comrades beat a monotonous
tune on tom.tom and the others
Joined in a weird chant.
This performance was repeated un-
til half a dozen squirming serpents
had been lifted from the box and car
ried through the dance.
The names of the actors added
color to the exotic scene: Chief Kol-
Chov-Te-Wah, or Rope Out Of a Bear
Hide; Chez, or Evergreen
Shoes, chief of all snake priests of
the tribe, there being six in every
generations: Pon-Ya. or Displayed on
the Sacred Altar, youngest priest of
the tribe; See-Tal-La. or Water
Flower, last surviving member Of the
ancient sun clan of the tribe, and
GUIANA Quat-T Wa, or The Designer,
a member Of the hieroglyphic artist
clan.
M. w. Billingsley Of Phoenix, Ariz.,
whose ranch adjoins the Hopi reserva-
ton, explained that the dances had
never been performed before off the
reservation and that the tribe prays
through dancing.

When the Hopi Indians from Arizona
gave an exhibition of their tribal
dances before members Of Congress
and a crowd of several thousand
Washingtonians in front of the Capt.
toll yesterday. they included a dance
which to them is a prayer for rain
and before darkness descended on the
city last night it rained, one Of the
very few and heaviest in month.
In arranging the event, Senator
Cameron of Arizona did not have in
mind relieving Washington from a
drought. He merely wanted to give
his colleagues an opportunity to wit
ness the ancient and picturesque cere-
monials of the tribe, rendered with all
solemnity and pomp observed on the
reservation.
But whether 1t was an answer to
the Indians prayer or an ordinary
visitation of the elements, Washing
ton got the rain.
To the audience of palefaces that
crowded around the platform and
peered down from every vantage point
in the Capitol, the queer costumes and
masks worn by the brawny Indians
may have appeared grotesque, but the
spokesman who interpreted the rit-
uals emphasized the point that to the
Indians every dance rendered was a
form of prayer for some particular
purpose.
There was the victory war dance. a

COOLIDGE SPEECH
President Strikes Happy
Chord When He UphoIdS
States Rights.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.
stan Correspondent of The Star

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May IS
in his attack here today on the tend
ency toward bureaucracy in govern
ment, the encroachment on the part
Of the Federal Government upon the
rights and authorities Of the States,
and rule by minorities, President
Coolidge struck a happy chord.
The response to the Presidents sig
nificant utterances was tremendous,
and he was loudly cheered. His
audience for the most part was made
up by those who are imbued with the
State rights principles Of Jefferson
and Madison, and his appeal to the
States to maintain their individual
sovereignty and not to surrender the
MANAGEMENT Of their affairs to the
National Government was to their
liking. Especially was this SO when
he asserted the ideals of the patriots
of $50 years ago should be the ideals
for our Government today.
This address of President Coolidge
was afterward acclaimed by many
who were present as probably the
ablest. most impressive. speech he
has made since he has been Presi-
dent. 1t was delivered amid inspiring
surroundings, picturesque and rich IN
American history. The occasion It.
self was alone sufficient to NIL the
breast of every true American with
pride-the 150th anniversary Of the
abortion Of resolutions by the Vir-
ginia Convention meeting in Will
iiamsburg directing its representa-
tives in the Continental Congress to
support a declaration of independence
from the rule and domination of Eng.
land.
Wears Cap and Gown.
The President wore the cap and
gown Of a doctor of law as he ad
dressed his patriotic gathering. II
was the same cap and gown ne wore
upon his graduation from Amherst
and which he has since donned on
those occasions when he received non
orary degrees. Shortly after the ami
versarv exercises today the President
had conferred upon him the degree OF
doctor of law, and 1t was for this pur'
nose that he donned the cap and gown
inst before the ceremonies commenced
This was the first time he has re-
ceived a degree since becoming Presi
dent. Several times offers nave Deen
made, but he declined.
President Coolidge was apparently IN
a most happy frame of mind as he
drove along Duke of Gloucester street
the main thoroughfare of this vener-
able town, and smiled and bowed In
recognition of the friendly greetings
along the way, and later as he stood
before the large gathering on the col
lege grounds and addressed 1t. The
reception he and Mrs. Coolidge re-
ceived from the moment they set foot
upon the Virginia soil was such that
he could not have failed to have been

Measures, Slated for Action,

leaders regarding what legislation is

all askew.

morrow under suspension Of the rules
but the leaders decided last night to
wait until the Senate has acted on
this measure.
The Veterans Bureau bill also was
agreed upon for action in the House
tomorrow, but last night the leaders
decided that there are some provisions
of that measure to be looked into
more closely before it is allowed to
come up on the floor.

upon it. with a possibility still re-
manning that 1t may be brought UP
tomorrow. Last night, however. 1t
looked as If neither the retirement
bill or the veterans bill would be dis
posed of tomorrow.
In that event large number of
