STUDY INDIAN LORE BY CANOE Scientists, Exploring Susque hanna For History of Red Men, Visit City Scientists who are making a trip down the Susquehanna river in search of historical data concerning the In dians will meet to-morrow with the Pennsylvania Historical Commission at the State Library. Dr. William K. Moorehead, of And over, Mass.. who is the head of the expedition which started early in May in New York State, with S. R. Moore head, also of Andover, were In Har risburg last night. They held a brief conference with George P. Donehoe, of Coudersport, Pa., secretary of the Pennsylvania Historical Commission and State Librarian, Thomas Lynch Montgomery. Dr. Moorehead left this morning for Aqueduct where he met the other members of his party, and spent the day exploring Haldeman's Island and historical points along the Juniata. Th 6 party reached Sunbury two days ago and have been exploring the Sus quehanna river in that vicinity. The expedition party numbers nine persons and includes engineers, three Indian guides. Dr. Moorehead and S. R. Moorehead. They have traveled 270 miles in large eanoes, built es pecially for the trip. These canoes will probably be brought to Harris burg next week. Until Sunbury was reached the explorers camped out on islands, and along the river shore. Plans for continuing the expedition from Harrisburg to Chesapeake Bay will be announced to-morrow. Dr. Moorehead may remain in Harrisburg for sometime, and direct his party from this city. During his stay in Harrisburg last night he denied the stories published in the newspapers that skeletons of horned Indians had been found near Athens, Pa. He said: "We found 57 skeletons in a pre historic cemetery tnere. They may have been 300, 700 or even 1000 years old I don't know. Two or three of them were six feet or more in length —unusually large ones. About one skeleton a number of deer, or possibly elk, antlers had been heaped, and this gave rise to the story that a horn ed skeleton .of a prehistoric Indian had been found. The horns may have been placed there because of some ritualistic rite, but they did not grow on the human skeletons." Food Riots in France and Belgium Suppressed by German Military By Associated Press Rotterdam, July 21 (Via London) —Food riots which broke out in Bel gium and Northern France have been suppressed by the German military authorities according to reports re ceived here from reliable sources. The rioting was especially severe at Liege, Verviers, Roubaix, Renaix, St. Nich olas, Lokern and Termonde. The shortage of food which resulted in the riots, according to the relief was due to the shortage of tonnage which is not likely to be cor rected as the German government definitely has refused to consent to the plan to use interned ships to bring relief food and because or the em bargo which the German authorities have placed on the import into Bel gium and Northern France of native Dutch food supplies which, especially meats and fats, have done much to supplement the supplies sent into the occupied regions by the commission for relief in Belgium. The quelling of the riots in the populous centers has been followed by the compulsory evacuation from the cities by the German authorities of large sections of the industrial populations. These have been scat tered homeless throughout the agricul tural regions, the reports say, as pun ishment and to minimize the risk of a recurrence of the trouble. The greatest forced migration took place from the city of Lille . from which 25,000 people intruding wo men and children, were expelled. These people are not welcome In the rural areas where the problem of re lief, while not as acute as in the In dustrial centers, does not make the people desire any further drain on their limited resources. Parents Ask Police to "Scare" 6-Foot Youth Peublo, Col., July 21. The police have been asked to locate James An drew Darner, 16, of Blanca, Col. The boy, who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, ran away from home to this city, where he stayed a few days, then wrote that he was going into the country to work during the summer. His parents want the police to locate him and send him home. The letter states that it was not the desire of the parents to have their son injured, but the police were asked to "scare" him. "Swell chance of any of our police men scaring a guy that big," was the only comment the desk sergeant had to make. PI.AGI'E DEATHS INCREASE By Associated Prtss New York, July 21.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years FRIDAY EVENING, GOLD SHIPMENT .HOLDING U-BOAT Arrangements Being Made to Send Back Consignment to Germany By Associated Press Baltimore, July 21. Negotiations now said to be pending between the Eastern Forwarding Company and "one of the largest American banking institutions for a big consignment of gold to be sent back to Germany on the submarine merchantman Deutsch land, were given as the cause of the delay In the undersea liner's departure from Baltimore, according to an offi cial of the submarine's American agents to-day. Paul Hilken, the junior member of the Eastern Forwarding Company has been absent from his office here for more than 48 hours and it was said that he is representing his companv in the negotiations for the gold.

Further protests by the British and French embassies against American recogni tion of the Germar, ouomarlne Deutschland, as a merchantman were considered a possibility by State De partment officials. Clearance' of the vessel, it was thought, might draw from the allies a more definite objec tion than the informal complaint lodged at the department on the sub mersible's arrival. So far the embassies have suggested that the Deutschland is a potential warship. Additional representations, it is believed would suggest that the vessel lacks many characteristics es sential to a merchantshlp and might even attempt to hold the United States liable for damage the submarine might do to allied shipping after she leaves American waters. Luzerne Progressives and Regulars Form For Hughes Wilkes-Barre, Pa., July 21. Pro gressives and regulars In the Republi can ranks met here yesterday and formed the Hughes Alliance of Lu zerne county. The meeting was at tended by most of the influential poli ticians of the county and these officers were elected: Asher Miner, president; George H. Hartman, secretary; Ben jamin F. Williams, treasurer. An executive committee is made up of publishers, businessmen and leading manufacturers. It was decided that the alliance will be a part of the na tional organization, will work solely In the interest of Hughest and will take part in no other political contest. LEAMAN HAS NOT BEEN APPOINTED Selection of a Disbursing Offi cer For the National Guard Not Announced Adjutant General Stewart said to day that Major Jere M. Leaman, of the quartermaster corps at Mt. Gretna had not been appointed to the important place of disbursing officer for the Na tional Guard. It was reported last night that Leaman had been appointed and this caused a belief that the long delayed payment of the National Guardsmen, especially those who went to the camp and were rejected, would be expedited. "Major Leaman has not been ap pointed. The only person authorized to act as disbursing officer is myself. The possibility of appointment of Ma jor Leaman has been discussed, but the government has not acted," said he. General Stewart also said that he had not authorized any appointment of officers in the quartermasters' corps at Mt. Gretna other than those an nounced some time ago. The whole recruiting plan for the National Guard remains in the same confusion as early in the week. Ap pointments of recruiting officers are being announced and they are report ing at Mt. Gretna, but no assignments to stations are being made and while numerous inquiries are put to the re cruiting officers they are unable to do anything except tell those who want to enlist that the way to do it is to go to Mt. Gretna at their otvn expense. The State has drawn $20,000 from the military emergency fund in addi tion to the $45,000 spent on the Alle gheny strike and the cost of repairs to the Scranton armory and families and friends of Guardsmen are wonder ing when they -are going to be paid. The emergency appropriation was half a million and from it should have been taken money to put the camp site at Mt. Gretna in better shape than it was when the Guardsmen arrived there. At a time when every effort should be made to attract men to the service there is so much red tape and adherence to archaic methods that people eager to do what they can for the military service are becoming dis gusted. Blacklisted Firms to Consider Formal Protest By Associated Press New York, July 21. All of the eighty-two firms blacklisted by Great Britain under the trading-with-the enemy-act were invited to send rep resentatives to a meeting here to-day for the purpose of considering a for mal protest. There was talk In ship ping circles of making an attempt .to test the validity of Great Britain's position by sending an American ship laden with goods from the blacklisted firms to a neutral port consigned to a neutral, or to an agent of the Amer ican owners. Some merchants, how ever. believed that the meeting should go further than appointing a commit tee made up of persons whose Amer icanism cannot be questioned to take up the matter with the State Depart ment at Washington.

C., July 21. The | naval bill reached its last stage toward passage in the Senate to-day with op- j ponents of the large building program j ready with a fire of amendments for! reduction. Democratic Senators, how- I ever, are confident the administration program would prevail. The vote was delayed by a renewal of the controversy between Senator i Reed, of Missouri, and Senator Oliver, I of Pennsylvania. Senator Penrose, dur ing Mr. Reed's absence from the cham- I ber, got the unanimous consent of the Senate to print as a public document < the Bethlehem Steel Company's publish- j ed arguments against a Government ! armor plate plant. When Senator Reed I returned and learned of it. he denounc- j ed the action as a "shameless proposi tion and an outrage," and declared the company's statements were false and i misleading. Senator Oliver challenged ! Mr. Reed to show the statements he re- I ferred to. "The Senator from Pennsylvania," Senator Reed replied, "had the cool as- ! surance, after admitting that he owned ; steel stock, to stand up here and at- I tempt to vote money into his own pocket by supporting a bill which would help the Bethlehem Steel Company. If I the Senator were a Judge he would not be permitted to vote on this issue." Denounce!! Reed Senator Oliver denounced the state ment, asserting that Senator Reed was attempting to avoid his challenge. "I say," continued Senator Reed, "that the Senator from Pennsylvania on this floor admitted he owned a large. | amount of steel stock and that this stock was in a concern that was the parent company of a concern engaged I in the manufacture of armor plate. The j Senator knows that whatever might defeat the construction of a Govern ment armor plate plant will increase the price and profits for private armor 1 plants, that the profits will be dis- j tributed among its stockholders and that some of those profit* will emit a musical jingle in the pockets of the dis tinguished Senator from Pennsylvania." Senator Gallinger suggested that Senator Reed was overstepping the Sen ate rule and Vice-President Marshall also intervened. Senator Reed then read from the record another passage between himself and Senator Oliver on the same subject, when Senator Oliver told the Seriate he owned United States Steel stocks valued at $117,000. Can't Stop Printing Senators Reed. Martine and Var daman vainly sought to find some j means by which the unanimous con- , sent to print the Bethlehem Steel i documents could be reconsidered. Then Senator Reed asked for an or- \ der that only 100 of the Bethlehem 1 Steel documents be p rlnted, but Sen- j ator Penrose objected. "Now that the Bethlehem Steel Company has been given the franking privilege," said Senator Reed, as the incident ended, "I presume it will be ' extended to any other corporation big enough to have representatives in the i United State Senate." Snake's Attack on Mother Is Fatal to Unborn Babe St. Louis, Mo., July 21.—Attacked by ' a snake in the street in front of her i home in the heart of the city, Mrs. ! Faye G. Prather, 21-year-old bride of I a year, is in a serious condition at the Missoui-i Baptist Hospital here. An infant to which the young I woman gave birth at the hospital is i dead, and doctors attribute its death to J the shock its prospective mother re ceived. The snake, about 4V4 feet long, at- j tacked Mrs. Prather and her mother, j Mrs. Alexander Pow, as they were I leaving their home two days ago. It: ran from the grass near the sidewalk 1 and wrapped itself about Mrs. Pra- | ther's ankle. While the daughter screamed, Mrs. Pow attempted to beat the snake off with an umbrella. It turned on her. but an Iceman who was passing came to their rescue and killed the reptile with his tonga. Regardless of a slight wound, Mrs. Prather continued her shopping trip with her mother. No report of the snake's attack was made to the police j until to-day. On her return home, however, Mrs. Prather became seri ously ill and had to be removed to the hospital. Mrs. Prather is the wife of Faye G. Prather, a bank clerk for the Mortgage Trust Company. They were married secretly about a year ago. The young woman is widely known as a singer.

Mr. Waugh was born in Fulton, N. Y., in 1860, and began his telegraph career as a messenger boy at the age of twelve. He was graduated as an operator for the Western Union at the age of 14, and after a few years of varied employment, entered the serv ice of the Associated Press.
