PRESIDENT WILL
STUDY BURSUM'S
INDIAN MEASURE
Continued from Page One,

cerning which you write me has
never come to my attention except
in the most general way. 1t Is
quite impossible for the executive
to undertake a careful study of all
the legislation proposed in the Com
gress. Ordinarily, these measures
do not come to my notice until they
require presidential sanction, then
they are given very deliberate con-
sideration before an approval is
written.
Since you write so earnestly con-
cerning the matter mean to take
this question up with the Indian
commissioner and the secretary OF
the interior, both OF whom arc
vastly better informed on the In
dian question than | can ever hop9
to be. ! know them to be fair and
highly conscientious.
/ greatly appreciate the courtesy
expressed in your invitation to
come at some suitable future time
and visit what you designate as
artistic America. I do not know
when the suitable time will come,
but | can assure you | will cor
daily welcome it. BY my very
hasty view of the great Southwest
| have been abidingly impressed,
and I shall always be looking for
ward to a time when ] can visit
It leisurely and get the inspiration
Of its atmosphere.
With very best regards and good
wishes, ! am
Very truly yours,

No Injustice
Following is the letter received
by Mrs. Wheeler from Indian Com
missioner Burke:
Department Of the Interior
Office of Indian Affairs
Washington
Nov. 27, 1929
Mrs. Lutte Holder Wheeler,
Albuquerque, n. NJ,
My dear Madam:
| have received your telegram
of November 20. 1922, by refer
ence from the president. referring
to the pending bin relating to
the Pueblo land titles in New
Mexico, You can rest assured that
Ithe Indian bureau and the inte-
rior department will endeavor to
see that no injustice Is done to
these Indians by the enactment OF
the Bursum or any other bill.
There really is no occasion for
Albuquerque morning journal., 1922-12-05

The bill was then introduced in the
senate, aud as you know, passed
that body. This Is Senate Bill No.
1850, and known as the Bursum
| bill.
My experience in legislation has
! taught me that usually where there
are contending interests it is neces-
sary, in order to succeed that there
be some concessions on the part OF
all interests, ana In fact, experience
has taught me that often times a
better product is secured where
there are some compromises than
where either extreme prevails. The
Bursum bill NAV be Objectionable
and may be subject to some OF the
criticism that has arisen touching
it's provisions. This does not mean
that there is any justification for
the storm that has arisen on the
part or some that are active in
criticizing the measure. ] fear that
back of IT there are those who are
actuated by ulterior motives and
are anxious to defeat any legisla-
tion on the subject. / am appealing
to those who ! believe are honest
and conscientious in their opinion
that the bill is not what IL should
be, to assume an attitude of co-op-
Grafton, to try and see il it will not
be possible. when the bill is con
sidered by the committee on Indian
affairs of the house of representa-
tives, to amend 1t to relieve it of
objections that are raised against
1t, or to adopt soma substitute
measure that will give some relief
Effort Is Honest
There seems to be on the part of
some an effort to create sentiment
that the interior department and
the bureau of Indian affairs are
not honest and that they are at
tempting to put over legislation
that will be unfair to the Indians
1t would seem as if We ought to be
given credit for at least being hon
est in our efforts and that we
should be only charged with being
mistaken If we state that We think
the Bursum bill is satisfactory.
May ! not ask you and your asso-
ciates to take up the subject OF the
Bursum bill and critically consider
1t with q view to suggesting in what
respect it ought to be amended or
suggest a substitute measure that
will result in a better solution 6f
the difficult problem than will the
Bursum bill. / want to call your
attention to the fact that. with the
very complicated Questions that are
| involved, it would seem as if we
should have very largely the opin-
ion of experienced lawyers and that
| the Indians themselves or laymen
are hardly qualified to express an
opinion on the details of a bill deal
ing with the subject. Personally. |
! am actuated by no other motive
than to try and get some legisla
| tion that will settle for all time the
controversy that exists in New
Mexico on account OF the differ
ences existing between the Indians
and alleged landowners. and | want
to again reiterate that. unless there
is some early action that will be
recognized as being the beginning
Of an end Of the controversy, dis
aster will probably result.
Thanking you for your courteous
letter and for vour interest in this
subject. and assuring you that l
will greatly appreciate your coop
Grafton and assistance in trying to
get some legislation in the coming
short session Of congress. I am

Kellogg's Bran, cooked and krum-

most severe cases of constipation be-
cause it is ALL BRAN--not a food

MRS. OBENCHAIN

Indictments Charging Them
With Murder Are Dis.
missed But Man Is Held
on an Insanity Charge

Los Angeles. Dec. 4.---Indict-
ments against Arthur c. Burch
and Mrs. Madalynne 0benchain,
charged with the murder of j.
Belton Kennedy, young Los An
COLES broker, were dismissed to-
day by Judge John W. Shenk on
motion OF District Attorney Thom~
as Lee Woolwine. .,
Mr.. Woolwine moved dismissal
of the indictments on the grounds
uf insufficient evidence,
Paul w. Schenck, attorney toF
Burch, then swore out an insanity
complaint against his client, and
nudge Scenk directed that he be
Committed to the psycnopathic
ward of the county hospital for
observation.
The courts action left Mrs.
-Obenchain free to leave the coun-
ty iail. which she announced she
would do so soon as she could
mack her belongings. She said
that she planned to leave Los An
geles, but did not intend TO go
very far away. She declared that
She would not return to Chicago,
her home at the time of the Ken
nedy Staying.
Mrs. Obenehain was arrested
here in August, 1921, after she
had reported at the police station
at Beverly Hills that Kennedy had
been slain on the steps of his
summer home in Beverly Glen,
where she had accompanied him
to look for lucky penny" after
they had spent an evening at the
beaches nearby.
Kennedy was killed by the
charge from a shotgun.
BurCh Taken Off Train
Burch was taken off an east
bound train at Las Vegas. New, q
few days later and was returned
here to stand trial. The states
theory was that Kennedy, who
had been much in Mrs. Oben-
chains company, had decreased
his attentions and that Burch had
slain him, with Mrs. Obenchain's
connivance.
Ralph r. Obenchain Of Chi
eago, the divorced husband of
Mrs. Obenchain, at once came to
her assistance and aided in her
defense at her first trial. Burchs
parents, the Rev. and Mrs. w. A..
Burch, Of Evanston, Ill, also came
TO the assistance Of their son.
They moved here to be near him.
Both defendants refused to ad-
nit any direct connection with
the Staying. Mrs. Obenchain pro-
claimed her innocence. Burch
contended himself with silence.
Tried Three Times
Burch was tried three times. an
insanity defense being the chief
element Of his case, All juries
disagreed. Mrs. Obenchain was
tried twice; both juries disagreed
in her trials also,
The prosecutions were furthered
