Planning an excursion Sunday, Mr.
and Mrs. Fl. K. Warren invited as
their guests Harry +. Nurnberger,
Mrs. Ray, Miss Cecilia Mohr and Miss
Emma Johanning. The party drove
over to Long House Valley and had
a picnic lunch in one of the beautiful
spots there and spent the afternoon
exploring caves and climbing to the
ruins of the old long rock house on
top Of a high cliff, from which the
valley derives its name. At one time
this was quite community of cliff
dwellings but the walls of only one
building are left. The rocks in the
walls are carved with initials and
names of persons who have visited the
ruin, perhaps the oldest one being
that of Lieut.. Bell, 1851. The whole
cliff is strewn with broken bits of
pottery, some having very beautiful
designs, and one member of the party
found small smooth stone, coIored
and marked, that these ancient people
used in basket game. 1t was in one
of the large caves in this neighbor-
hood that Samuel Guernsey, curator
of the Peabody museum, Boston, un-
earthed the mummy Of woman and
with it had been buried medicine
bag made out of a human head with
the hair nicely dressed. The suppo-

of high station and favorite slave
had been killed at her death to serve
her in the world to come. Mr..
Guernsey also found some mummified
dogs in a cave ten miles from here
on one of his exploring trips in 1917.
On the way home the picnickers

night when he fell between an engine
and four cars, all of the latter passing

the round house, where he was to
work out on freight No. 43.
According to members of the crew
switching the four cars, Smith had
complained Of feeling i'll earlier in
the evening, and was standing on the
rear end of the engine with another
sWitchman when he was seen to
suddenly collapse and fall on the
rails. Engineer F. NJ Beckwith ap-
piled the brakes when the stop signal
was given, and even though the train
was travelling at low rate of speed,
the four cars passed over the un-
fortunate man, severing the body at
the waist.

AC ton ON
POINT IS
URGED

The third term issue, revived by
rumors that President Coolidge
plans to seek a denomination and
reelection in 1928, may be web
thrashed out in the Senate, It ap.
peared today, through debate on
the LaFollette resolution, which
would put the Senate on record
against three terms for any Presi-
dent.
A sharply divided Senate awaited
vote on the resolution but SEN
ator LaFollette declared It was
favored by q sufficient number OF
Senators to insure its adoption.
He served warning, too, that lie
intended to fight for a vote on
the measure even though Admin
istration leaders showed disposi.
ton to sidetrack 1t in order to
save the President from enbarass-
ment.
Washington Set Precedent
The resolution, after setting forth
how George Washington had estab.
lished the precedent of serving only
two terms as President, declared
'.any departure from this time-hon-
ored custom would be unwise, I'M
patriotic and fraught with peril &C
our free institutions"
The resolution aroused the united
opposition of Administration Sen
ators although the Insurgents were
inclined to favor 1t. The Democrats
also split upon 1t. although not from
any desire to support Coolidge for
a third term.
Some Democratic leaders privately
wish the President would seek re-
election in the belief that any DEM
ocrat can defeat him on the third
term issue. Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas, the Democratic floor
leader, recently announced his party
would welcome" an opportunity to
fight out the 1928 campaign on the
third-term issue.
Among the Republicans favoring
the resolution were Senator'S Howell,
q Republican national committee
man from Nebraska, and Norris, the
leader Of the Insurgent bloc.
Safeguards Institutions
''I feel" said Howell. ''that the
two-term tradition is a safeguard
of our free institutions. believe
President Coolidge has made a good
President and if any man Is en-
titled to three terms. he would be
that man. I think, however. that
the two-term tradition should not
be set aside. / would regret to
see the long line Of precedents
broken because II a President can
serve three terms, he can serve four,
five or six or throughout his life"
Senator Norris said: 81 don't think
this issue is as important as some
people think. I shall vote for the
resolution II vote is taken but
after all. If the American people
want a President to have three
terms. he will get three terms. The
people viii decide this issue at the
proper time"
Administration Senators, such as
Lenroot Of Wisconsin, Willis Of
Ohio. Shortridge Of California and
Bingham Of Connecticut, ALI op.

Woman win be successful in the

tional University Law School at
