PILLAGED ON
BIG SCALE

EV1 ASIIINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Burial
IWI of dead Indians in collins cost
- ing nearly $4,000 each and pay
ment of SIS for American flags to fly
over graves in lonely cemeteries has
excited the curiosity Of Congress.
With $25, 900 available for expenses,
a congressional committee is soon to
begin an Investigation Of charges that
Indian wards of the Government in
Oklahoma are being pillaged and
robbed on a wholesale scale. These
are only two of the examples cited.
Professional guardians and the local
courts that appoint them are blamed
by the Indian Rights Association, Of
Philadelphia, and other agencies which
have demanded the probe. The vic
Tins are untutored Indians who have
been made wealthy by the discovery
of oil on their lands.
Attorneys Get Rich
Administration costs as high as 70
per cent of the amount involved have
been collected. 1t Is asserted. In one
case, by order Of the court, an at
torney who never even appeared in
court was paid $25, 600 from a wards
estate for extraordinary services"
MANY Of the county courts are in
fuenced by political considerations"
according to the charges, and Indian
guardianship are plums to be dis
tributed to the faithful friends of the
judges as 81 reward for their support
at the polls. When oil is struck' on
an Indiana's property, ii is usually
considered prima facie evidence he
is incompetent and in the appoint
ment of a guardian for him his wishes
are rarely considered"
On one occasion. it is asserted,
grafters waited literally at the bed
side OF a dying Indian woman and
hardly had the breath left her body
when her thumb WAS pressed upon
an ink pad and impression made from
It on an alleged win which was later
offered for probate.
Dead Are ''Resurrected'
In another case. It is declared. a
woman who had been dead four years
was resurrected as a man and able
to sign q lease-all attested by wit
nesses and a potary~public."
Divorce promoters. it is charged,
are going around among the Indians
and drumming up cases for their at
torney friends for the fees to be
secured. Even the bobbed-haIred
fapper is accused Of being an in
strument Of the grafters.
Some attorneys" It is declared.
"oooperate with fappers, to cnsnare
wealthy young IndianN men into
matrimony, making free use Of boot
leg whisky as an aid. Soon there
after a divorce usually follows and
the court allows liberal alimony to

TRINIL MAN LIVED IN
JAVA 400 900 YEARS AGO
First Human Only Sort of Walking Ape According to An
thrOpOOgiStS-Nex Fossil Found in Germany,

But no fossil remains Of their users
have ever been found.
The Oldest fossil was found in
Trinil, Java. The top of a skull. some
teeth and a thigh bone were found.
The creature is referred to as Trinil
man, but he was only sort Of walk
ing ape-man. anthropologists believe.
Trinil man lived 100000 years ago,
scientists believe.
The next fossil is one found in
Heidelberg, Germany. This was a
jaw bone. The creature is referred
to as the Heidelberg man. But he,
too. was only a sort OF walking ape
man. The stone implements, how
ever. which date back to this period
show great progress over the nipple
ments of the day of Trinl man.
Progress was being made.

man dates back 100, 900 years ago.
Then $4,000 years ago, a more
passable creature made his appear

thai man.
There is evidence that he lived in
tribes or families throughout much of
Europe.
Neanderthal man, however. prob
ably could not walk erect or hold his
head entirely erect. He had british
appearance and most under-devel-
oped chin.
But he lived in caves, understood

So let us take leave OF the geo
logists and paleontologists now. and
see what those scientists who devote
their time to the study of man-the
anthropologists and archeologists-
have to tell us about the beginning
OF the human race.
The record of the beginning of man
is unfortunately most obscure. 1t is
not surprising to find it so.
Fossils are found in sedimentary
rocks. These rocks. It will be re-
membered, were formed under water.

Consequently they are rich in fos.

lived in dry regions are scarce. Nat.

Comfort
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
When the ways without are muddy
And are cloEged with mire,
I love the glamor rudy
OF an open fire.
But my fond regard is greater
For a place, wot.
Near the old steam radiator
Where it's hot, hot. hot.
Oh, my thoughts may go romancing
Where the woodfires CLEAN
But when winter is advancing
Give me lots of steam
With the pressure indicator
At the highest spot
And the old steam radiator
Sizzling hot, hot, hot.
Though an open fire is taking
AS 1t CLEANS and CLOVIS.
Yet the front of you is baking
While your back is froZe;
Give me heat that's adequater
Such as can be got
From the old steam radiator
When it's hot, hot hot.

HDEW YORK, Feb. 28.-As the
I'M scramble Of the presidential

the face of Charles r Murphy.
leader OF Tammany Hall. becomes
more Sphynxlike.
Political wise-acres who peer into
it, turn away puzzled; aspirants
who seek in 1t comfort, go away
hopelessly. But those who know
him well. don't even try to look.
They know 1t is useless
For IT is this setness that has
made Murphy a most powerful
force in our political life.
During the past twenty years
Put five mayors in the New
York city hall.
Elected four Governors and
unmade one.
Sent two Senator'S to Wash
ington.
Played q large part in nom
mating and electing a President.
And this year he hopes to put
over another
When asked who it will be, he
merely replies:
THE convention will decide"
1t is set answer to all such quer-
les. It has been so in campaigns
past; it Will be so this year, too.
But while he was having his
picture taken to accompany this
story. he probably repeated again
and again, as the photographers
asked him TO move his lips:
Wen nominate Al Smith. and
elect him, too. Wen make the
Governor President"
Wastes No Words
But I never talk" said Murphy
smiling.
So it was from Dan Ryan. secre-
tary Of Tammany Hall, and right
hand man Of its leader, that we got
further sidelghts on the man who
rose from humble shipyard helper to
political dictator
Murphy was raised in the gas
house district of the Sast Side Of
New York city, where he learned the
art Of taking care OF himself-and
keeping his own counsel.
There were eight children in the
family, and young Charlie early in
life had to drop school and go to
work. His first job was in a ship
yard, where he worked as a caulker.
Shy and reticent, he became a mark
for the joshers Of the yard. But it
wasn't for long. He fought them all.
and soon became recognized as their
leader.

was that q car which was going at
high rate of speed hit his car
from the rear. The victim was ap.
parentiy thrown from the car to
tho ground where he lay when pick
ed up. The Dodge car which he was
driving was thrown into the ditch
