Native Americans test treaty (Continued fom Page 1 .......... a ..b.. two and one half years prior to the :reaty, the Chippewa, Ottawa and 'otawatomi were "overwhelmingly ro-British," making the probability hat the land was a gift very small. Later in the testimony White in- troduced the role of Father Richard, the only Catholic missionary in Detroit. Father Richard was identified in Ar- ticle 16 of the 1817 treaty as the "rector of the Church of St. Anne of Detroit." When asked by White why Father ichard was identified in Article 16, haput said the priest had been "discussing and actively participating" in the foundation of a "new kind of chool"-the University. "Now, more importantly, he (Father Richard) had rior to 1810 been actively involved in ttempts to educate the children of etroit including members of the three tribes that we are concerned with Sere, 'the witness testified. WHITE'S NEXT witness was Floyd ain, a history professor at Central ichigan University who specializes in arly Michigan history. As with haput, Dain's deposition was taken in' the presence of a notary public and University -counsel. This testimony 'as also read into the record at the trial y an actor. Dain testified further to Father Richard's work among the Indians. The itness said Father Richard was of the Sulpician Order of Catholic priest 'whose purpose was to educate, especially to educate the heaten in America." Da n also testifed thatson August 26, 1817 the act to establish the Catholepistimiad, or the University of Michigania (eeferred to as the "College at Detroit" in the treaty) was signed. A matter of weeks later and days before the 1817 treaty was signed Cass appoin- ted Rev. John Montieth president and Father Richard vice president of the fledg.ing college. DAIlY TESTIFIED that Section 8 of the 1821 Act to establish the University states that the three sections of land "granted to the College at Detroit by the Treaty of Fort Meigs," was to be "vested" in the corporation of the University "subject nevertheless, to the uses, trusts and purposes for which the same property was granted, given conveyed, or promised." Dain stated he felt the 1821 act in- dicates that the land conveyed in Ar- ticle 16 of the Fort Meigs Treaty "were given by the Indians for the purpose of educating some of their children." Dain also testified that in 1821 Rev. Montieth left his position as University president and Cass became chairman of the Board of Trustees. DAIN, WHO ALSO authored a study on the economic history of Detoit, testified to the value of the Indian lands conveyed to the University in 1824. He stated that Cass, who had followed the transaction from 1817, selected the "more valuable lands, perhaps the most valuable." Of the three sections, one was located where present day Farmington now stands, another in Detroit between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads, and between Rouge Park and Evergreen, and the third where Trenton is now located . Dai. testified that all of the sections were valuable for either their access to water or, in the case of the Detroit land, for its salt deposits. In ad- dition, the land became increasingly more valuable due to the rapid influx of settlers in the Michigan territory. The Indians' last witness, James Concannon, a Native American of Ot- tawa lineage, appeared somewhat of a surprise to University attorney Daane who objected strongly to Concannon's appearance. Daane said Concannon was not an expert witness and not present at the signing of the 1817 treaty and therefore his testimonycould not have any bearing on the issues at hand. JUDGE DEAKE allowed Concannon to testify. Tomorrow: The Defense Art. 16. Some of the Ottawa, Chip- pewa, and Potawatomy tribes, being attached to the Catholic religion, and believing they may wish some of their children hereafter educated, do grant to the rector of the Catholic church of St. Anne of Detroit, for the use of the said church, and to the co aon of the college at Detroit, for the use of the said college, to be retained or sold, as the said rector and corporation may judge ex- pedient, each, one half of three sec- tions of land, to contain six hundred and forty acres, on the river Raisin, at a placed called Macon; and three sections of land not yet located, which tracts were reserved, for the use of the said Indians, by the treaty aof Detroit, in one thousand eight hundred and seven; and the superin- tendent of Indian affairs, in the territory of Michigan, is authorized, on the part of the said Indians, to select the said tracts of land.

Lawyers' actions in Edison case probed .^ .° .f 4i r, . f . (Continued from Page 1) ittorney Paul Lurie, an associate in Sklar's law firm, Prior to litigation. Commonwealth Edison lost the suit nd has since revamped its program. 'he lawsuit put $380,000 out of the more han $2.7 million requested legal fees in he pockets of the attorneys. Gowedey, like Cantor in the Detroit uit, did not collect any money in the ,hicago settlement. Gowedey could not be located by The Daily for comment. CANTOR, OWNER of Northland Pharmacy in Southfield's Northland Vedical Building, has suffered greatly ,ecause of publicity of the lawsuit, he nd his attorneys claim. Besides having is business tarnished by the suit, he nd his family have received abusive ahone calls at his Farmington Hills ome. Because of critical publicity by Detroit area media, Cantor hired a I'roy-based public relations firm, Mc- Vasters Associates, one of the largest public relations firms in the Midwest to arighten his image. Cantor's bill with the firm has reached $1,400 for issuing several press releases. It remains unclear, however, whether Cantor or his attorneys are picking up the tab. Neither a spokesperson for McMasters, Cantor, nor his attorneys would reveal who paid the bills. ALTHOUGH Cantor claimed in his suit he was upset about lost profits on bulb sales, he later admitted his major grievance against the Edison program was that customers paid for the bulbs whether they used the service or not. The program's costs were included in Edison customer's electric rates. Cantor said he made claims of finan- cial losses from the Edison program, despite their marginal effect on his owp business, as "a guise to undertake the lawsuit." After five years of litigation, Cantor now says he wishes he had never begun the lawsuit and given another chance, would refrain from filing a similar complaint. 15C HOT DOGS_ - .. l Yf":.
