Indians to Receipe
Their Trust Funds

Washington. D. c., Jan 3O.-The In
dian appropriation bill was reported to
the senate today 1t carries $14,5O9,-
OG0, a net increase of $6,306,0O0 over
the bill as passed by the house.
The largest increases are due to ap-
preparations under which the United
States treasurer will pay to number
of Indian tribes money now held in
trust as Indian tribal funds.
The senate committee feels that
these tribes are competent to manage
their own cffairs and that the govern
ment should cease paying interest on
the funds.

r. f. D. DELIVERY BY TROLLEY

Washington, Jan. 30.--As a result
of recent reports that the postoffice de-
partment contemplates the adoption
of a mechanical device for the deliv.
cry of mail on rural routes, the de,
partment has reviewed numerous let
ters from inventors, requesting tests
of their devices including schemes for
distributing by trolley wire. The fact
is that the department has never con.
templated such action, nor will tests
be given any such device, as the idea
is impracticable.
