The indian Rights association has
been working on a plan to secure al

which ,he associations representa-

Indians were brought here.
But the Indians themselves seem
to favor return to their old homes

AT a conference, held something
like two years ago in which all of
the eighty-nine adult Apaches parti-
cipated, all bui seventeen Of the IN
dians voted as iavoring a return to
New Mexico. 1t is believed that
this feeling still exists Some Of
them, notably Asa Daklugie, chief of
the band, have already returned 10
the cid haunts.
The allotment Of the Apaches on
the reservation would necessitate a
segregation of the reserve around
