TITLE TO LAND HELD
BY N0N-INDlANS Is
QUESTIONED BY u. S.


(speciaI Correspondence to The Journnlo
Santa Fe, May 17.-Questioning
by the government of title to
former Indian reservation lands
now held by non-Indians has given
rise to a complicated problem
which occupied most of the visit
of the house subcommittee of the
committee on Indian affairs to
Santa Fe yesterday.
At hearing at Tesuque,
pueblo, north of here, Indians
and non-Indians from Tesuque,
San Ildefonso, Taos, Santa Clara
and San Juan pueblos and Es-
pamela, laid their cases before
holds that individual Indians have
the committee. The government
never had title to reservation lands
and could not legally ALLEVIATE them.
There are some 1000 disputes in
Waived. In some cases American and
Spanish American holders having
had peaceable possession for as
long as 200 years during which
time title has been unquestioned, 1t
is alleged. A suit has been recently
filed to quiet title to disputed LANDS
at Espanola which has brought the
matter to a head.
Members of the committee In ex-
planning the pending Carter bill IN
congress stated that the Indians
status would remain unchanged
under the bill save that he can
vote If he wishes and may serve on
jury when one Of his own race Is
on trial.
The committee left here last
night for Albuquerque and Gallup.
It held q prolonged hearing at the
United States Indian industrial
school here on matters relating TO
the Indian service administration
in this state.

7 WO ARE FINED
AS RESULT Of
OLD TOWN RAID
Modesto Ortiz, Justice of the
Peace, Wants to See Old
Town Cleaned Up and
Will Do His Part, Says.

Antonio Gabaldon and Fred
Bare'a pleaded guilty yesterday
morning in the Oic Town justice
court on n charge or gambling, as
the result of a raid made by Cap
tain A. A. Sena. of the New Mexi-
co mounted police, and two of his
corps on the Suunyside and Gold
Star resorts. Gabaldon was fined
$50, but Justice of Peace Ortiz sus-
pended the fine during good be-
havior. Parela was fined SIS and
costs, which he paid.
Alberto Garcia, thought to be the
proprietor of the Gold Star, was
arrested on a charge of running
gambling games on his premises.
but was released when it was
shown that he had sold the place.
w. L. Johnson and w. Corker, who
were arrested in the raid, did not
appear in court to answer to the
charge brought against them. Pc
dro Chavez, one of the proprietors
of the Sunnyside Inn, had previ-
ously gone on their bonds.
Sheriff Garcia stated yesterday
afternoon that when he met the
mounted police he had just been
through the Sunnyside Inn and
found nothing, The mounted police
made their arrests in the Gold Star
resort. The sheriff also denied any
knowledge of the raid until after
it had been effected.
Ortiz Wants To Clean Up.
Justice of Peace Modesto Ortiz
stated yesterday afternoon that he
wanted to clean up Old Town. "If
the sheriff will bring charges
against men that they are fire.
quenting these houses in Old
Town after 10 o'clock at night and
bring them before my court | will
see that they get justice" he said.
Cars come by my home every
night speeding back and forth be-
tween Albuquerque and Old Town,
Earring my house until one and two
o'clock in the morning. One night
got so mad I took my gun and
told my wife / was going over and
bring those people to justice my
self if the county officers couldn't
do it, but my wife pleaded with me
not to co.
In the pfeSenc" OF reporter
Ortiz consured Constable Gurule
and told him tnut ir some action
was not taken by him toward
cleaning up Old Town that his re-
signation would be acceptable. 1t
would be easy enough, ORTIZ said,
for the officers to follow the
couples that come over from Albu-
querque to the Old Town hotels,
and make arrests. He pointed out
that very few men were likely to
bring their wives to the hotels.

BRITAIN TRYING
To CORNER ALL
OIL PROPERTIES
State Department Report
Shows How England Is
Attempting to Gain Con-
troll of Petroleum Industry


Washington, May II. - Great
Britain's policy with reference to
world petroleum supplies is report
ed to lc to exclude aliens from the
eontro' OF petroleum supplies with
in the empire, and to endeavor to
OBTAIN some measure of control
over oil properties in foreign coun-
tries, the senate was informed to-
cay in a state department report
transmitted by President Wilson.
Mr., Polk also quoted at length
sections of the new Mexican con-
stltuton declaring all. oil in Mex
leo to be the property of the ma
ton.
THE British policy" said the re-
port, appears to be developing
along the following lines:
First, ny deterring foreign ma
tionalS from owning or operating
oil producing properties in the
British Isles, colonies or protector
ates.
Second, by direct participation
in the ownership and control of Pc
troleum producing companies.
Third by arranging to prevent
British oil companies from selling
thelr properties to foreign owned
or controlled companies.
"Fourth, by orders in council
that prohibit transfers of shares in
British oil companies to other than
British nationals"
The report added that sit is said
IN lp Inn 1laufu1 fn,, D,ftt,t
to transfer without the consent of
the board of trade any interests
they may have in an oil company
controlling a field in the United
States to any alien or foreign con
trolled company.
Further It was declared that re-
lease of time restrictions on gener-
al commerce had been expressly
withheld from petroleum trades.
Reviewing the specific regula-
tions imposed in all British oil
hearing territories, the report said,
"it should be noted that restrictions
are so drawn as to distinguish be-
tween British nationals and aliens,
thus only indirectly falling on citi-
zens of the United states"
N'piSlIlS SpeCllcdlly 10 the SELL
ate's request for a statement as to
what steps had been taken by the
state department to remove disahil-
tiles upon American citizens by rea-
son of Mexican laws. the report
said that no judicial determination
of rights there had been reached,
but quoted the terms of the last
note sent to Mexico which said that
'the United States cannot acquiesce
in procedure which really
results in the confiscation of
legally acquired and arbi-
trury deprivation of vested rights"

Elderly People Have A
Daily Health Problem
Stomach muscles and digestive organs
slow to act as age advances

Mt oST people find the years
Vl slipping by without real
izing it, until suddenly
confronted with the fact that they
can no longer digest everything
they would like to eat. 1t then
becomes their daily task to avoid
what they know to be chronic con-
stipation.
When exercise and light diet
fail it will be necessary to resort to
artificial means. Strong physics
and cathartics, however, re not
advisable for elderly people. They
act too powerfully and q feeling of
weakness results.
What is needed is a laxative
containing effective but mild
properties. This is best found in
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
which is combination Of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin. 1t
acts gently and without gripping,
and used few days will train the
digestive organs to do their work
naturally again without other aid.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
has been on the market since 1892
and was the private formula of
DR.. W. b. Caldwell, who is himself

ger, then with the assistance of the
'hef ladder was put up against
he west wall, where the patients
were taken out. DR.. and Mrs w.
\. Gekler and DIR. r. J. Harris
were able to make their way out
of the building.
Fire Spreads Rapidly.
The fire spread from the east
part of the building to the west
very rapidly. The roof fell in about
an hour after the flames had start
I'd and some of the walls fell in
later The main walls of the wings
We're left standing.
The building, hesides the bust
ness office and the offices of the
med cal staff, contained the dining
room, kitchen, laboratories and eX-
ray apparatus, which was consid-
cred one of the very best in the
country.
Fire Department Has Trouble.
The fire company had trouble in
getting to the sanatorium which is
located outside the city limits and
tor which there was a very made
1uate fire protection, the nearest
hydrant being a quarter of a mile
away, requiring considerable time
to connect the house. While the
pump was giving a two hundred
pound pressure, it is estimated that
there was not over twenty pounds
at the end of the nozzle, on account
of the great distance.
Mr.. Anderson said the sanato-
rum management had been trying
for some time to get a hydrant anc
had completed arrangements with
the city to put one in.
No Plans For Rebuilding.
Due to, the absence of DR.. A. G
ShOrtle, who is the principal owner
of the sanatorium and who is at
present in Denver, plans for re-
building could not be learned.
However, it is understood he has
for some time been considering the
erection of a new building facing
East Central avenue and has mad
plans drawn.

In spite of the fact that Dr.. Cald.

the opening game of the season
here Sunday before a large crowd
the Albuquerque Centrals won their
second straight baseball game when
they downed the Bernalillo team,

harder fought than the score would
indicate, and it was only by COM
bination of hits and errors that the
Centrals were able to send four
men over the plate in the ninth In

NOBILITY.
Skill is not all that makes a man,
Nor flowery phrase OF gifted
Sometimes the humblest toiler can.
The greater heights of service
reach:
'Twere better il men honorcd here.
Above success, the kindly deed.
The. helping hand, the voice of cheer
Which serves another's hour of
need.
Skill has been known to tell a lie,
Fame has been known to scorn the
weak,
Men, who by power are lifted high,
Bitter and cruel words may speak:
Not merely with the brain and hand
Does man perform his earthly role.
He who with men is fit to stand,
Must have nobility of soul.
Rise high to glory il you can.
But never a to play the friend,
Be everywhere the gentleman.
And you shall conquer in the end;
Boast not o think too much Of
skill,
Be patient in each trying hour,
Be humble here and kindly still
Even though you should rise TO
power.
Nor pomp o pride nor splendid
feat .
Excuse a man for sin and shame,
Who. stoops to folly and conceit
Dims the fair lustre of his fame;
For better far than words of praise
Which follow brilliance4 and its
deeds,
Are words to, cheer and gentle ways.
And these the old world sore'y
needs.

mother had made me their spy.
Every bit of information had been
stfted and resifted by the Secret Po-
lice, tirelessry at work to compass
his destruction, to detect him in
some misstep. The trap had failed
because Stefan Balsic had no double
dealings with men or nations, and
because the Chief Of Police was his
friend. I had been doing that: I. liv-
and had no proof under heaven of
my incredible, stupid ignorance. The

A SENSIBLE STRIKE.

There are a great many people
who are not very enthusiastic advo-
Gates Of strikes who will approve
heartily of a rather novel strike Of
a number Of London actors. Ac-
cording to the story, a young woman
violinist disappeared, leaving articles
Of clothing on the bank of the
Thames with a note saying that it
would be useless to search for her.
Her disappearance created a sensa-
ton, and there were lurid articls in
the papers. with pictures of the
young woman, and the customary
statements from members Of her
family and others who had been
acquainted with her. Presently it
developed that the girl had. merely
eloped, and in due tim she reap
peared. Then she was engaged at a
salary Of $500 a week to do a ten
minute turn on the vaudeville, stage.
Thus far the proceedings were
substantially in accord with the pro-
gram usually followed In such cases,
and it was expected hat crowds of
people would flock to see the girl
whose only recommendation was that
she had made herself notorious. Then
the regular actors asserted them
selves. Through their associations they
announced that they would not par
ticipate in entertainments in which
the girl vas on theyprogram.
The results of this ''strike' are not
announced. 1T is 10 be hoped that
the steps taken were effective, and
that the girl was withdrawn from the
publicity of the stage. There has
been too much ~debauching of the
stage by the capitalization Of the
escapades of people who have no ex-
cuse whatever for appearing before
the public. Tbe practice has done
much to bring the whole theatrical
profession into disrepute.

BRYAN TO THE DEMOCRATS.

Just what sort of peace treaty Mr..
Bryan would have written, if he had
the writing of it, nobody knows, un-
less it is Mr.. Bryan himself. The
chances are that the document would
have contained evidences Of the I'M
practical idealism, as well as of the
political shrewdness, which have
come to be recognized as elements in
the Bryan character. But, whatever
might have been his course if the
framing Of the treaty had been en-
trusted to him, he has made his at
.titude on the treaty actually written
tolerably clear.
In his Jackson day address he in
terrupted a flow of twaddle by max
ing declarations which caused a good
many of his hearers to stand aghast,
but which as time passed, were rec
osnized as placing before the Demo-
cratic party and the country gener-
ally facts which must be recognized,
and to which those in positions OF
influence must adjust themselves. HI
repudiated the presidents plan for
submitting the treaty as a campaign
issue, pointing out that what the
country needed was not a campaign
issue. but a state of peace and mem
befship in a League of Nations estab-
lished for the maintenance of peace
and order.
That declaration was repeated in
substance in another statement made
within the past few days, in which
the warning is given that if Demo
Gratis persist in demanding the rati-
fcation of h e-treaty without reser-
vations, they cannot relieve them
selves OF responsibility for the defeat
Of the whole treaty.
Men who were just as urgent as
ever the president was for the rati.
ncation Of the treaty unchanged have
long since concluded that ratification
on that basis is Impossible, and with
few exceptions they have cease to
strike for the impossible. Those who
continue to insist on the unattainable
are assuming "a heavy responsibility.
and Mr.. Bryan's advice to the mem
bers Of his party Il avoid that re-
sponsibility is sound.

The Hoover movement is being
watched with not a little interest all
yer the country. Mr.. Hoover has
announced that If it is desired that he
do so, he will accept the Republican
nomination provided the Republican
convention commit itself definitely to
the, sort Of program which he believes
to be essential to the welfare of the
nation. In the meantime, without en-
gaging in a personal canvass, he has
made numerous public statements
and published several articles indi-
eating his belief as to what that pol
icy should be. Our political history
is Of such a character as to prepare
for almost any development in a
movement such as that. which has
been organized for Hoover. It may
fade into thin air. without leaving a
trace. or it may develop size and sub
stance which will carry everything
before it. The element of uncertainty
involved makes it a peculiarly fas-
cinating thing to watch.
