ITALIAN SUES TO GET
BACK BONES OF SAINT

MILAN. Oct. 4.--Joseph CATO, lately
returned from the war zone, has sued
his uncle, Albert Algo, to recover a
large glass chest containing, the petit
ton alleges, bones OF two saints--St
Stanislaqs and st, Venusta. The relics
belonged to Caio's mother, who died
while he was at the front. His uncle
took them in charge and now refuses
to give them up.
st. Stanislas, renowned saint, has a
large cult all through Eastern Europe.
Born in Poland in the sixteenth CEN
fury, he went to Rome and Joined the
Jesuits, dying there from self-imposed
privations. One Of Algos reasons for
not giving up his bones to the soldier
nephew is that the latter would GER
tainly sell them for large sum, where
as they should remain In the family.
The other saint. Venusta. has by no
means such large vogue. being al
most unknown outside her native land.
But the Algo family Is unwilling to

ARIZONA OFFICER IS
 BEING HELD FOR TRIAL

The case of Lieutenant Frank H. Smith, of Phoenix, officer in the 15Sth regiment, Arizona's own, chief of the United States military police in Paris during the war, who is held in the French capital on 8 charges of rob ping prisoners and treating them with brutality, is attracting worldwide in- .terest, according to advices received here today.

Turney said that military ,observ- CTS from many countries had been at tracted to Paris for the opening of the trial, which is to take place in the near future, with the desire to watch the disciplinary machinery of the U. s. forces at work.
 Lieut.. Smith is a son of Joseph Smith, who was private secretary to President Mckinley. He came to Ari- zona several years ago and was em- ployed in the Phoenix street depart ment. He took an active part in the National Guard and went overseas with the 15Sth regiment.

WANT TO EAT
 THEIR CAKE AND KEEP IT

WASHINGTON, May 28-Recently. a commission of prominent Filipipos came to this country to urge that the islands be set free from the United States. Part of this commission is now in Washington and will soon be granted hearings before committees of Congress. Whether the administration is going to urge immediate independ- ence for the Philippines has not vet developed.
 Members of the house insular af- fairs committee who have gone into the subject deeply with the visiting Filipinos say, however, that the na- tives are not asking outright inde- pendence and nothing more. They want independence plus guaranty for the future from Uncle Sam. Not even are they satisfied with a guaranty from the League of Nations. They want the United States to under write their independence so that no other power will venture to seize them.
 While many of the Southern mem- bers of Congress, as we'll as some others, would gladly cast the islands completely loose from the United States, there will be decided opposition both in the house and senate to inde- pendence with guaranty of it, on the ground that it might in time em- broil this nation in grave dispute or war. And Congress will ponder long time before it says the Philippines shall be turned adrift, to shift for themselves, a weak nation, and the possible prey of other powers.

SAYS GOVERNMENT
 ,MISTREATING INDIANS

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 28.- Charges that the United States bu- reau of Indian affairs is squeezing the blood" from the Indians whose af- fairs it administers, stealing what ever they have and destroying the old high morals of the race" were made by Dr. Charles A. Eastman, president of the Society of American Indians, in an address at the little theater," at the university of Minneapolis.
 Dr. Eastman, himself full-blooded Sioux and Dartmouth college man, is in Minneapolis to arrange for the meeting next fall of the national inter- tribal convention of the society.
 The convention, Dr. Eastman said, will be. protest meeting and will call on Congress to abolish the bureau al together. Two-thirds of the Indians are of the educated type, which he himself represents, he added. Many are well to do, some of them are mill lionaires; but they never see their money and the agent is likely to be "too busy" to give out the millionaire his S10 monthly allotment, he said.
 Educated Indians are discriminated against because they "know too much" and there is no redress since com plaints can be lodged only through the agent, Eastman said.

SOLDIERS MAY CLAIM
 ADDED TRAVEL ALLOWANCE

The war department is now settling the additional travel allowance due the enlisted men of the army who have received their discharge since Novem- Der II, 1918. The original mileage all lowed the discharged soldiers was 3h cents per mile but this amount was raised to cents by an act approved February 2S. This mileage was paid the men from the point of discharge to the place of enlistment in the service. Men who have been discharged since February 28, 1919, have received the 5 cents mileage, but all those whose ac- tual bona fide home or residence at the date of discharge involved great CT distance may also submit their claim to the Zone Officer, at Wash ington, D. c.
 A blank form of application, which includes the necessary affidavit for the additional travel allowance, may be obtained from any army recruiting officer, Red Cross or other agencies organized to aid soldiers. This affi- davit must be accompanied by true copy of soldiers discharge certificate, certified as such by recruiting off cer, or the original discharge certifi- cate, the later to be returned with the check. While payment will be made on the original discharge certificate. claimants are advised that the use of a copy will eliminate the possibility of the loss of the original. All ap- plications should be addressed as fol- lows: Zone Finance Officer, Lemon building, Travel Allowance, Washing ton, D. C."
 The director of finance has practi- csally completed the payment of S60 bonus which involved about 1,4OO, ,OOO claims. It is pointed out by the de- partment that the settlement of travel allowance claims can not be accom- plished with the same rapidity which obtained in the payment of the bonus. Each claim will require certain verifi cation by war department records, this to be followed by mileage calculations.

RIGID INVESTIGATION
 OF WASTE PROMISED

Sharply arraigning extravagance in the departments and declaring the financial outlook for the government not encouraging, Representative w. K. Green of the House Ways and Means Committee, calls for drastic retrench- ment.
 "The outlook with reference to the financial affairs of the government is anything but encouraging" said Rep- resentative Green. If, as was pro- vided in the revenue bill passed by the last Congress, only S4,000,000,0 1000 of revenue is raised, huge deficit is impending for the ensuing fiscal year. In any event we will have to have another bond issue. The difficulties in the way of raising revenue are con- stantly increasing, as war profits no longer exist, although the government continues to pour out large sums in fulfillments of contracts. We can and should get additional revenue from customs duties, but our foreign trade IS in an altogether abnormal situation.
 There is much complaint with ref erence to heavy taxation, but we can not always go on issuing bonds to pay the interest on former bonds. We ought at the coming session not only to force budget system upon the administration but institute drastic detrenchment in expenses.
 "The number of unnecessary em- ployees in Washington is fast becom- ing a public scandal and while few are being released, preparations are now being made to take more on. The various committees on expenditures in the several departments ought to get busy at once at the opening of the session to cut down expenses. All through the war, these committees have been as silent as the grave, not even venturing to meet"
 Representative Green cited specific instances of waste which he said now called for inquiry.
