OLD PARK MILL
To GRIND ANEW

Old Pierce Mill, in Rock Greek
Park, which for 81 years has not
ground out a bag Of flour, will be
restored to running order soon. A
Public Works allotment Of $19,250
will make the restoration possible.
The mill was built on the site
in 1901 and for 96 years ground
the meal and pumped the water
for its owners, Isaac Pierce and
his son, Abner C. Pierce.
In 1890 the mill and other
buildings on the six-acre tract
were sold to the Government for
$9,278, to be included in Rock
Creek Park. A large part of the
mill machinery still stands or is
stored in the old stone store
house adjacent to the mill.
Under the plans for restoration
Of the historic site and its indus
try, the mill will actually grind
out flour and meal occasionally. It
will be operated by the National
Park Service, Interior Department,

NORRIS SEEKING
UN|CAMERAL
LEGISLATURE
BY KARL M. KAHN
copyright, 1894, by International
News SerVice)

Senator George w. Norris has
gone back to Nebraska to spend
the summer chasing a will-o'-the-
wisp that, If caught, may pro,
foundly affect governmental bodies
in this country.
It is Senator Norris opponents
who say his plan for, a non-parti-
san, one-house State Legislature
is a will-o'-the-wisp, but that will
not discourage the liberal and for
ward-looking Senator.
Almost everything Senator Nor
ris ever started to chase was called
q will-o'!the-wisp by those who did
not see so clearly as the Nebras-
kan. BY the time he caught it
they were saying they knew all
along it was a rare and priceless
bird.
It is possible that the Senator'S
chase for a unicameral legislature
will end similarly.
Tries to Sell Idea
Senator Norris term has two
years to run, so when primary
time approaches he plans to go
from village to village in Nebraska
to sell his idea to the voters.
The amendment to the State
constitution would provide for a
one-house legislature of 30 to so
members. If the plan were ap-
proved the next Legislature would
determine the number and redis-
trict the State.
The unicameral legislat u re
would meet annually, and would
have an annual salary limit of
$37, 500 for its entire membership.
Thus, the biennial cost would be
not more than $4,000.
The present legislature has 100
members in the lower house, 80
in the senate. Nebraska pays
$104, 900 in salaries for each bien-
nial session.
The money-saving angle is not
the primary consideration with
Senator Norris. He argues that
a uni am eral legislature also
would have the advantages of
freedom from the dominance Of
conference committees and would
be less subject to manipulation
by lobbyists.
Leaders Disagree
With these arguments most of
the political powers in Nebraska
disagree violently. They term the
idea pre-revolutionary war, and
shout that the progressive Sena.
tor has gone into reverse.

DOUMERGUE

PARIS, July 4 Q.N.S0.-Polit.
ical events in France were moving
swiftly today toward a climax,
and a new formidable danger has
developed to worry the present
government of which Smiling
CASTOR Doumergue is the head.
The Seine federation Of the So
cialist party and the Paris reg
ional group of the Communist
party have concluded a united
action" platform to agitate
through meetings and street dem
onstrations to bring about the
downfall Of Premier Doumergue
and his ministry.
A second movement which will
cooperate with the first Is the
united 'front.'" the brains of which
is the fiery young politician, Gas.
ton Bergery, formerly right-hand
man of the famous French states.
man, Edouard Herriot.
The understanding between the
Socialists and the Communists
comprising the United Action"
movement, has nothing to do with
the scheduled demonstration of
100000 or 100000 world war vet.
erans in Paris, July 8. The demon
stration Of these "anciens com
battants" could be described in
American as "just another head
ache" for the Doumergue govern,
ment, and indicative of the gen.
eral condition of unrest in France
It is the hope of the united
'front.' to swing the war veterans
over to their side.
Bergery and his followers are
said to have taken a lesson from
what happened to the cleft
forces in Germany and Austria
They hold, they declare, that the
"left forces" in France should at.
tack before they themselves are
attacked and possibly crushed.
Bergery, unquestionably the
foremost young political per
sonality in France today, draws
his followers from the Socialists
Independent Revolutionaries and
the Democrats.
Should a dictatorship be set up
in France, the world outside may
expect the dictator to be either

26OOB. Chinese Carvings
Found In FIJI Isle Cave

sUvA, Fiji Islands, July 4
UN.SJ-A startling discovery of
incalculable historical and archae-
illogical value was made known
here today by Arthur Vogan,
famed archaeologist, who revealed
that he has located an immense
cathedral-like cavern on the Fiji
Island Of Yasawas, on the walls
of which are carved Chinese in
scriptions of $500 B. C.
Casts of the strange wall carv-
ings were taken by Mr.. Vogan
and shown to DR.. A. j. Fox, eX-
pert in ancient oriental languages.
who pronounced the script to be
that of the Chinese Shan dynasty
that reigned in the dawn of re-
corded history.
According to DR.. Fox, the script
states that something Of great
value is buried on the site Of the

hitherto undiscovered cavern and
also indicates that the author or
authors Of the carvings had been
Shipwrecked.
One Of the strange symbols, DR..
Fox stated, might be interpreted
as conveying the words "our plan
is disclosed"
The discovery made by Mr.
Vogan will prove Of inestimablt
worth to students of early Pacific
migrationS, DR.. Fox said.
The origin of the Polynesiar
race has long puzzled historians
and this discovery. it is thought
may point the way to a solution
of the problem. Mr.. Vogan tool

BONDS MAINTAIN
!. FAVORED POSITION
Remain Near Years Peaks,
Although Stock Prices
Have Declined.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Bonds ap-
pear to be enjoying better favor than
stocks in the securities markets these
days.
The sweeping advance in both cor
porate bonds and stocks which de-
veloped early in the year was soon
checked, but bonds nevertheless con-
tjnued to creep higher for several
weeks after stocks reached their 1884
peaks in February. Bonds still are
close to their tops for the year.
Stocks reacted slowly, but rather
decisively, after reaching their early
February highs. In fact, the price
index OF 80 representative issues shows
decline of little more than 10 per
cent from the years top. The index
OF 60 corporate bonds, on the other
hand, is off less than point from
its 1884 high reached in nid-March.
a recession OF little more than l
per cent.
One reason advanced in Wall Street
is that the bond market is less sus-
ceptlble to the effects OF Federal con-
market, in which speculation Is an
important factor, is said to have re-
flected traders gloom over the inl-
pending legislation. while bonds, III
which speculation is indeed factor,
but less important one, have con-
tinued to hold :heir gains.
Other factols mentioned include the
tendency Of the business upturn. as
measured by most index figures, 20
level OF OF late, as well as the halt
to the advance in comcaord:.y prices
since February. While bond. s..!i
have the protection Cor investors CT
ADDED earnings. IL contrast to g year
ago. speculative activity III stocks has,
according 10 this theory, been checked
by indications Of less prospects. for
the time being, OF further boosts In
dividend rates. Wage increases also
are mentioned as making stocks mo-
mentarily less attractive, although
labor costs are not calculated to have
been advanced sufficiently to leopard
ize bonds.
