New York.-"If there was lack of

composition of Miss Dorothea Alastair

sional singer in Italy would have
made good the defect, for she so i'm

there is an italian naval station; she
underwent a siege of blackmail that
resulted in sending two oppressors to
prison, and she became the betrothed
of a young noble, who was killed in the
war.
In addition, her progress toward a

OIL LAND
UNDER RED RIVER

I do so adyisedly, for these people
have always been s~edentary in their
habits, living in fixed villages and de-
pending largely upon the cultivation
of the soil for their subsistence.
'sThe rights of the Wichita Indians
to the ownership Of these lands has
never been extinguished by purchase,
exchange or otherwise, though state
and federal governments have SEEM
ingly proceeded on the theory that no
such right ever existed. From the time
of its foundation the federal govern
ment has always paid due regard, at
least In form, to the extinguishment
Of title to lands which were claimed
by the several Indian tribes under alb
original occupancy. The one exception
to this has been that of the Wichita
Indians, who lived in the upper Red
river country, between the Canadian
and Brazos rivers.
Indians Cede Land.
"In 1918 certain chiefs and warriors

Scoffed and Kissed.
In connection with the spy and
blackmail episodes it seems that Miss
McVane unwittingly snapped her cam
era when the lens was pointed in the
direction Of masked batteries. Soon
she became the object of scoffing in
the street, she was Kissed at the op-
era, she found herself unable to get
letters to her friends or to hear from
them. She became so nervous and dis
pirited that she wished to go away,
regardless of her operate contract,
and was threatened with arrest if she
tried to go. When, at last, men an
noyed her with threats of publishing
the spy story and thus running her
career unless she paid money to them,
she contrived to get word to the
American ambassador in Rome, who
put the wheels in motion for a black
mail trial, whereby Miss McVane was
cleared and the men were punished.
She was led to adopt singing as a
profession on the advice of artists and
others who heard her voice in Paris,
where she had gone merely to perfect
her French. When her French instruc-
tors sent her to Milan, with letters to
the composer Puccini, she knew the
leading roles ins20 operas. It was e
ported that Puccini intended to write
an opera for her, but the war abb
sorbed him in other affairs.
Miss McVane is something of a
psychic. The story is that both she
and her titled lover believed firmly in
the survival Of personality after death
and the ability Of the disembodied
spirit to communicate with the living;
and that they exchanged VOWS that the
one dying first would visit the surviv-
or on earth. Ever since the lover died
she is said to have been expecting such
a visit.
Miss McVane's sisters are Miss
Edith McVane, managing writer and
novelist, and the Baroness Dodeman
de Placy, whose husband is a French
cavalry officer. The McVane home IN
Rome was long a favorite meeting
place for social, literary and artistic
celebrities.

Wichita Indians Now Set Up An
cient Title to River
Channel.
HISTORY INVOLVED IN SUIT
Question Engrosses Attention of Law
yers, oil Men, Land Owners and
Federal and State officiaIs-Gives
History of Wichita Claim.

Austin, Tex.-Seldom has a case
been filed in American courts in which
history has been involved to the ex-
lent that it is in the question of the
ownership of the channel of the Red
river, beneath the bed of which are
valuable Oil deposits.
This question has been ~engrossing
the attention of lawyers, oil men, land
owners and federal and state officials.
The state Of Texas claims ownership
In the bed Of the river to the center
Of the channel, while. the federal gov
eminent and the state of Oklahoma
oppose the claim of Texas under the
terms of the treaty Of Spain in 1919,
by which the northern boundary of the
Spanish dominions in Texas was desig-
mated as the south bank of the Red
river.
The federal authorities hold that
the ownership of the Red river bed
areas in dispute belong to the Indian
tribes which owned the adjacent res
ervations, and the State of Oklahoma
maintains that, as a meandering
stream, the bed of the Red river is
state property and should be leased
for the benefit of the state school fund.
Another Claimant.
Joseph B. Thoburn, secretary of the
Oklahoma Historical society, has adj
vanced the suggestion that there is
still another claimant to the owner
ship Of the oil bearing area Of the
channel Of the Red river, namely, the
Wichita Indians. MI. Thoburn in the
course of IN extended statement says :
solder than any Of the claims of
ownership which are now being
pressed for the possession of the oil
bearing Of the channel of the
Red river-older than any claim of
the State Of Texas by rights derived
from Mexico or Spain, and older than
any claim of the State Of Oklahoma
or Of the United States which may
have been derived from France
through the purchase of Louisiana
Is the right of the aboriginal owners
Of the land on both sides of the river,
and these are the people Of the Wich-
tta tribe Of Indians.
"The ancestors Of the Wichita In
dams have lived in Oklahoma and adj
jacent states for a thousand years, and
for approximately five hundred years
past they have occupied the country

HAS TWICE BEEN AMERICAN
Stars and Stripes Have FIoated over
Lower California in 1947 and
Again in 1953-54.

Lower California, owned by Mexico,
was twice in the possession Of the
United States. During the Mexican
var Of 1S47 the American forces occu-
pied its principal points and declared
it American, but it was returned after
the war. The American filibusters took
it again in the raids of 1S53-54, but
it was again turned back to Mexico.
Lower California is a long, narrow
peninsula that projects about 800
miles ~southeasterly from the southern
border of California. Its width varies
from 80 to over 100 miles. It's irregular
coastline is over 100 miles long. 1t

KILLS CAT; TROUBLE RESULTS
Policeman Shot Woman at Same Time

Verdict.

Minneapolis.-A cat which more
than a year ago perched on the back
fence Of Mrs. Carrie Miller's home,
caused litigation which has been in
the courts ever since and which re-
suited in a verdict Of $1,150 in favor
of Mrs. Miller.
The cat was alleged to be an In

neighbors to summon the police and
Sergt. William r. Mealey was dis
patched from the North Side precinct
station to shoot the animal.
He took a shotgun and fred while
the cat was perched on the Miller
fence. He killed the cat. but stray
shots hit Mrs. Miller, whom Mealey
could not see on account of the fence.

lists visited Salisbury, high up in the
Transylyanian Alps, southwest Of
Kronstadt. Many came for the daz-
zling social life. With It's magnificent
hotels and gay casino, it was perhaps
the chief showplace of eastern Europe.
When the Germans pushed the Rou-
manians out of this district early in
the war General Mackensen and his
staff took possession of the town and
staged luxurious revelry there. When
the Germans left they looted the place,
stripped the hotels of tapestries, fur
niture and brass fittings. Even the
equipment for the medicinal baths was
wrecked.
Under the direction Of Maj. George
@. Treadwell Of Albany, N. Y, and
several American physicians, the
baths were reitted sufficiently to care
for the soldiers.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is a quality that is born

be materially injured in many differ
ent ways. The habit of procrastina-
ton, Of postponing, the habit Of pick
ing out of the easier tasks and putting
off the difficult ones, for example, will
very seriously impair the ambition

it gradually ceases to trouble us, be-
cause, like any other unused quality or
function, it deteriorates or disappears
when unused.
Be careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward, for If
you do it will become less and less in
slstent until finally it will cease to

ceded all of the Janus in Oklahoma and
Texas between the Arkansas and Can
adam rivers on the north and the Red
river on the south to the government.
The fact that the Quapaw Indians
lived in eastern Arkansas, that they
seldom went as far west as the eastern
boundary of Oklahoma and that they
never by occupancy or otherwise exer-
cised any form Of ownership or juris-
diction over any Of the lands within
200 miles of the region where the
Wichitas were living, do not cen to
have entered into the consideration
at all, if, indeed, the government COM
m~issiOners had any knowledge Of the
existence of the Wichitas at that time.
Yet, with this Quapaw transaction as
a basis, the government of the United
States executed a grant of these lands
to the people later. More than thirty
years later the Wichita people first
learned that their country had been
sold by the Quapaw and then granted
to the Choctaws.
IF the government of the United
States eve means to do the square
and honorable thing by the Wichita
Indians it will never have a better
chance than it has at the present time.
Their lands are gone-sold to strang-
ers without recompense to them and
without their consent-but they still
have an equitable claim to the owner

critics, and simple justice demands
that they be given a chance to estab-
liSh it."
