INDIAN HE|RSH|P
ARGUED IN COURT
Supreme Tribunal Hears
Case Under Conflicting
Tribal and State Laws.

Whether the tribal laws and usages
of Indians relating to property rights
were displaced by the laws OF the
States where they lived when they
were admitted to citizenship was ar
gued in the Supreme Court today in
an appeal from Oklahoma brought by
Henrietta F'irstmoon, a Ponca In
dian.
She had been the wife of Little
Soldier, from whom she was sepa-
rated under tribal practices after
they had become citizens. Little Sol
diar subsequently, married. and when
he died the Secretary of the interior
held that the separation from the
first wife was effective and the Star
ling White Tail. a child by the second
marriage. was heir to one-half of the
property left by Little Soldier. -
Counsel for the first wife contended
that the separation Was not effective
because it occurred after the India rs
had been admitted to citizenship and
had not been consummated in the
State courts. He insisted that she
must be regarded the widow and heir
of Little Soldier He asserted that
the tribal practices regarding mar
riage had been supplanted by the Ok
lahoma laws when the Indians became
citizens, and that the only way the
marriage could have been annulled
was by divorce proceedings in the
State. court.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
AMSTERDAM, January 29.-"Do
YOU believe that the serpent mentioned
in Genesis was a real serpent, that
the serpent really spoke TO Eve and
that Eve first and then Adam ate OF
the forbidden fruit of the tree OF
knowledge of good and evil?"
These are the main questions at
issue in a sensational heresy trial
now taking place at Assem-, a small
town in the eastern part of Holland.
The General Synod Of the Dutch Re
formed Churches has assembled there
in special session to deal with the
"heresy" of Rev. Geelkerken, an Am
sterdam minister who last year in one
Of his sermons stated 1t was quite dif-
f1cult TO explain the book of Genesis,
and there were many varying scholar
Iy interpretations OF it.
Religious controversy in its most
aggravated form followed this an
nouncement and numerous pamphlets
on the subject have been published.
The general synod, composed of SO
members. now must decide whether
Rev Geelkerken shall be permitted 10
remain in or shall be excommunicated
from the church.
The synod having received mass
of testimony. is expected to adjourn
shortly for two or three weeks TO dis

Meanwhile. the first victim of the

COAL POLICY FIRM
Apprehension Felt Here on
Continued Failure of
Negotiations. .


Despite the growing tension in the
anthracite controversy, the Coolidge
administration Is giving no outward
sign of a change in its policy OF non
Intervention.
The recent visit of Secretary Davis
of the Labor Department to Phila-
delphia was described officially today
as having no connection whatever
with the anthracite peace negotia tions
In progress there.
The Labor Secretary went to Penn
sylvania to deliver an address. it was
said. and saw no one connected with
the coal controversy.
Under the law the Labor Depart
ment's Mediation Bureau Is required
to observe all strike settlement nego-
tiations. and representatives OF the
bureau on the ground in Philadelphia
have reported in detail the meetings
held there In an effort to end the
mine suspension.
Apprehension Felt.
There is no attempt to conceal the
apprehension felt here over the con-
tinued failure TO reach an agreement.
Neither do officials deny that much
pressure for Federal intervention has
been directed at the Labor Depart
ment and the White House. One ofii-
Cial suggested today that widespread
reports that such step is In pros
pect probably originated with those
who desire intervention.
The attitude of President Coolidge
has been from the start of the trou-
BILE that under the law he has no
authority to mediate. He also has
held aloof fret. any informal involve
ment in the controversy. apparently
confident that If let alone the opera
tors and miners would solve their diff
ficulties in way that would not seri
ously impair the public interest. He
has been told that substitutes for
anthracite are available In plenty.
If there is any change whatever in
this attitude. the President and his
advisers are keeping it very closely
under cover

Rev. Edmund A. Walsh of George

'One hundred and fifty years ago

DR.. Walsh spoke on the Primitive
Concept of the State" quoting Plato

The primitive concept of the state"
said DR.. Walsh was grounded in
slavery. The treaty of Westphalia in
164S was the dividing line between the
primitive and modern concept Of right
social organization. Greece brought
the city state to perfection, but its pro-
visions recognized the rights of free
men only. Rome united the cities and
states in the empire, but In subsection

a new and daring faith in an ideal
