1t is reported that the street lights are
put out at 2 o'clock every morning, and
as there is no moonlight at this time of
the month, the result is, that the town
is left in total darkness at the time. We
understand that the reason given for the
lights being taken off at 2 o'clock is be-
cause the money paid from public funds
for street lighting has been reduced.
Formerly the street lights remained on
until five O'Clock. There are some peo-
pie who argue that the lights are not
needed after IL o'clock at night, and
there are still others who believe that
with the lights the police are better able
to detect and prevent crime, for it is a
we'll known fact that persons who are
prone to mischief will certainly select the
best time when the town is in darkness.
If we are not mistaken we understood
that the light on the wharf near the Gus
tom House was put there for a specific
o as we'll as the lights in the
market shed and the shed on the wharf.
but as these lights referred to are con-
nected with the same street wires they
are also taken off when the other lights

VETO
KILLS MUSCLE
SHOALS BILL
Senator Norris, Sponsor, Chal-
lenges Validity of Cool
idge Action

Washington, June S.-tF)-Presi-
dent Coolidge has subjected the
Norris bill for government opera
tion Of the Nations properties at
Muscle Shoals to . pocket veto.
The ten days in which he could
approve or disapprove the measure
expired at midnight last night leav-
ing it still without his signature.
Although White House and JUS
tice department officials have been
represented as of the opinion that
the bill thus automatically died,
Senator Norris Of Nebraska, who
carried on q long and determined
fight for ttc legislation, challenges
the validity of this form Of veto.
The constitution, article I, Sec
tion z, clause 2, says that IF any
bill shall not be returned by the
president within ten days Sundays
excepted) after it shall have been
presented to him, the same shall be
q law in like manner as if he had
signed it, unless the congress by
their adjournment prevent its re-
turn, in which case it shall not be
q law"
Senator Norris holds that con-
gress is not in adjournment in the
sense Of the word as used by the
constitution. He asserts that in
asmuch as congress will meet next
December with the same members
and officers. the Muscle Shoals bill
became a law last night at mid
night.

doomed five New Jersey women to a
slow death, is q victim Of his own
invention.
Although the doctor was reticent
to talk about himself marks of the

his fingers up to the second knuckle
are black, the result of radium

The radium first took effect on
DR.. Won Soshocky in 1920 and only
because Of his ability to keep an
accurate scientific check on himself
has he been able to withstand the
disease. Several times he has been
forced to 60 to higher attitudes to

The doctor has frequently risked

WAR BONNET IS
GIVEN FRAZIER
AT CANNON BALL
Adopted by Standing Rock
Sioux as Charging Eagle
Who Scars Above All
RED TOMAHAWK TALKS
Indian Farmers Paved Way
for Whites, Senator Says
in Address to DakOtas

North Dakota has an Indian can
didate for United States senator to-
day.
He is Wanbdi Watakpa (Charg-
ing eagle). He was hailed yester-
day as brother by Red Tomahawk,
purported slayer of Sitting Bull and
honored with colorful ceremonies
by more than 200 Indians gathered
at Cannonball, on the Standing
Rock agency.
In the opinion of James All yell
low, who placed . war bonnet Of
genuine eagle feathers upon his
head, Basil Two Bears and other
leaders of the Standing Rock Sioux,
he is destined to "soar above all''
as a practical friend of the Indian.
He is Senator Lynn j. Frazier,
only farmer member Of the United
States senate, who yesterday was
adopted into the Standing Rock
band of the Dakotas.
Indians from all parts Of the Da-
kotas were present for the cere-
mony held in an improvised wig
wan erected for the occasion at
Cannonball. Indians nationally dis
tinguished attended the ceremony,
including Mrs. Josephine Wagon
er, daughter of the first sheriff Of
Burleigh county and author Of the
dedication in State Historian Craw-
ford's book, "Rekindling Campfires. .
She came from Kildrum, S. D.
Warriors Rub Elbows
Captain r. T. Bonnin and his wife
Gertrude Bonnin, author Of several
books upon Indian subjects, also
were present. Sioux patriarchs, In
dian veterans who served on battle
fields Of the World War, scouts Of
the last Of the western war trails
and others rubbed elbows in the
crowd and acclaimed their new
brother when in q speech made
through an interpreter he said the
farmer Of North Dakota and the In
dian, who was the first farmer, are
brothers.
Frazier declared that the Indian
taught the white man how to grow
potatoes, tobacco, squash, pumpkin
and many other products of the
farm in North Dakota and that
more than 100 years ago the Man
dams grew excellent corn in their
villages along the Missouri.
As chairman Of the Indian affairs
committee of the United States
senate he promised special interest
in welfare work for North Dakots
Indians. He declared the investiga.
tion recent. authorized by the sen.
ate committee is not q political
move directed toward Indian bureau
heads but is directed to secure more
educational opportunity for Indian
children, better provision for the
aged and more attention to health
work among Indians.
The Indians, he said, had set the
pace for peace. He deplored the
long record Of broken treaty obi.
cations.
