SEMINOLE PARLEY
REVIVED BY |CKES
Secretary Meets Tribesmen
in Effort to End 100.
Year "War."
By the Associated Press.


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March
2l.-Squatting on their launches in
a circle on the shores of Lake Worth
Secretary of the Interior Harold
1ckes and seven Seminole Indians
yesterday revived negotiations to end
the 1o0-year war" between the
tribesmen and the United States.
Through an interpreter, the rep
resentatives of majority of the 500
Seminoles surviving in Florida asked
a domain of 100000 acres in the
Everglades and SIS a month each
from the Government as indemnity
for seizure of the rest of the State.
In return, they offered to recognize
the United States and obey its laws
except the game laws.
Ickes Pledges Cooperation.
"The Seminoles," replied Secretary
Ickes, "are a proud and independent
people. ! do not know whether II
will be possible to give them all they
ask, but in cooperation with the
State of Florida the administration in
Washington will do all In its power
to give them the land and the game
they require to live the lives of their
forefatherS."
1t was a colorful scene, with ranks
OF National Guardsmen and huddles
of Seminole sqllaws and children in
bright festive garb forming a back
ground.
Loud speakers carried the negotia-
tions to several thousand spectators,
mostly Winter visitors from the North,
in boxes and bleachers.
One hundred years ago, the United
States spent 500 men and $40 900 900
in futile attempts to round up the
Seminoles In Florida. A thousand
warriors held $4,000 troops at bay.
They were never conquered, but re-
treated more deeply into the wilds of
the peninsula.

SPRING GREETINGS.

SPRING GREETINGS.
r Asst year the first day of Spring
was greeted with the highest
and lowest temperatures reg
istered for any March 81 in 10 years.
The mercury climbed to 68 only to
swoop to 80, two degrees below
freezing.
In 1888 it rained, with the mercury
lowering between 40 and 40 degrees.
Rain, too, in 1882 to the tune Of 1.02
inches.
To strike a happier note, however,
on the first day of Spring in 1927
the single blossom. cherry blossoms
were in full bloom and parks officials
were worrying whether they would
last until Easter.
