Okla And why pick on them for a
story? Well because
Jackson Barnett is the John ID.
Rockefeller of his race.
He is ~ years of age, illlterate and
an incompetent In the eye of the law.
His wife, white and about half his
age, was accused of kidnapping him
and forcing him into marriage.
He has defeated Uncle Sans court
and to restore him to the care of his
guardian, after proceedings unique in
the history Of the courts.
He has topped off long list of
benefactions by establishing and en-
downing the Jackson Barnett Hospital
for Indians.
Barnetts original allotment of land
was near Glen Pool. Six years ago
oil was struck ON his land and riches
began to pour In on him. The federal
government protected his rights. since
he is an incompetent in the eye of

| safeguarded his wealth by appointing
as his personal guardian Carl j..
| O'IiOrnett of Henryetta, Okla.
O'Hornett took his ward to Henry
eta. There he established him in a
i comfortable home on 80 acres of farm
| land. He provided him with house
keeper, body servant and cook. He
stocked up the farm with livestock
and poultry. He saw that the rich old
Indian lacked nothing within reason
Then Anna Laura Lowe appeared
upon the scene--white, about half his
age and good looking. Just how she
managed things nobody seems to know.
But last May she and Barnett left
Henryetta In an automobile, sped over
the state line into Kansas and were
married In Arkansas City.
O'Ilornett and Cato Sells, United
States commissioner of Indian affairs,
brought suit to have the marriage an
nulled and the old Indian restored to
the care of his guardian. 1t was
charged that the white woman was

they still maintain they are satisfied,

concerned, it was agreed to recon.

Jackson Barnett has also made up
his mind that the injured and ailing

his latest and biggest benefaction-the

is giving 000,0O0-$50,0O for the

OF course, the question of permitting
these munificent gifts had to be taken
up by the Interior department. Com

interview Barnett personally, and to
satisfy himself that no undue pressure
was being brought to bear upon his
ward to part him from his wealth At

The American Indian never had q
proper appreciation of the value of
property. II Is even now one of the
most difficult things for him to learn.
Barnett little realizes what his wealth
really means. But he knows that he
has more than he can use and that
the money Is coming In faster than
he can spend 1t. He also understands
that his money can do lot of good.
So he Is giving away large sums to

Senate to Take
Up Question Of
Railroads Soon
Action Planned Upon Return
OF President From Vacation;
Doubt Regarding Wishes
Expressed.

Washington, Aug. Upon Presl'
dent Harding's return fro mhis vaca-
ton. senate republican leaders are to
take I'D the question of railroad legis.
lation with the executive. Whether
the administration bill for funding
about $500 100000 of carriers debes
by the war finance corporation shall
be pressed Immediately or deferred
until after the proposed senate recess
is to be determined.
Some doubt regarding the presl-
dents wishes is held. At the recent
White House dinner to republican
senators, the president was said to
have agreed to delay the railroad
bill over the recess period. When
the president talked later with house
republican leaders, he was quoted as
desiring prompt enactment OF the
funding bill. :,
The president, senator's said to-
night. will be informed this week
that it would be impossible for the
senate to secure any vacation if the
railroad measure should be pressed.
Weeks Of debate, it was said. are
certain. If the president should con-
sent to house action first on the bill,
the senate leaders hope to pass the
anti-beer and Capper-Tincher grain
gambling bills this week and then ad-
iourn for month or six weeks.
Action OH the railroad bill is to
be discussed next Tuesday by the
senate Interstate Commerce comnais-
sion with Chairman Cummins who
has been i'll. returning to take charge.

The fact that McKeown will not

concern among the Sim Fein lead.
ers, reports from Dublin say, and il
is expected that a protest will be for
warded to Downing street.
One of Mr.. De Valera's colleagues
declared today that such action was
contrary to the spirit of the truce
and will cause bad feeling, as it is
indefenSible." -
The civil authorities at Dublin
were given added power yesterday
when it was announced that in fu-
ture, inquests by the civil coroner
would be permitted. Since the open
ing of martial law, all inquests have
been conducted by the military.
1t can be stated as positive, ac-
cording to a government official,
that informal negotiations between
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier
and Eamonn de Valera, looking to a
settlement of differences between
north and south Ireland, have been
going on ever since the two leaders
returned to Ireland.
While it is declared that no defi-
mite scheme for harmony has been
arrived at, it is known that certain
minor points have been cleared up
and it is thought probable that the
two negotiators will meet i'll Lon

Buenos Aires, Aug. 7.-President
Yriogen is confronted by a sudden
political crisis, which seems to
threaten him with the loss of the
control of congress and at the be-
ginning of the campaign for election
of a new president next March. Both
houses of congress Thursday and
yesterday, were without a quorum.
The trouble grew out of demand
on the president by a majority OF
congress for an explanation of his
failure to apply the provisions OF the
homestead law, enacted last year.
Political observers see in the situ-
alton the first indication OF the con-
summation of plans for the combi-
