used for one dish or another. This

GIRL ACCUSED
 OF POISONING TWO BROTHERS
Georgia Lass Being Elk amined To Determine
 Her Sanity

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, Oct. 7.- Mary Claire Berry, 16, was confined in the state sanitarium here today on a charge of insanity, following an investi- gation of the death of her two brothers, Dolphus, 3, and Emory, 6. Both of the children are said to have died in con- yulsion and their viscerae are being rushed to Atlanta for examination by the state chemist. The family lives at Hardwick, Ga, small place near the sanitarium.
 The younger boy is said to have died September % while the other died yes- terday, almost to the hour week later.
 The investigation is said to have been instigated by the mother, Mrs. A. B. Berry, widow who said that Mary Claire has been acting queerly several months. Members of the family say that at one time the girl pointed a gun at the children and made them say their prayers These and similar incl dents are said to have been used as q basis for the examination of the girls mentality.
 The death of the two children is said to have been caused by the administra- ton of poison. At hearing today be- fore a lunacy commission examining the girl the mother testified that she had a bottle of poison in the house similar to one found in her garage during the in vestigation. The girl herself was not questioned today because of her condi- tion. She is said to be on the verge of collapse

day and Birmingham at about 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. Three hours later Lieut.. Commander Zachary Lanudowne hopes to be sailing above Columbus. Miss, and at noon to be above Green vile. The Shenandoah should reach Forth Worth shortly before midnight Wednesday.
 Lunch aboard the Shenandoah con- sisted of sandwiches, hot coffee from thermos bottles and fruit. Smoking IS prohibited. Fire of any sort is too dangerous to have about even though helium gas with which the bag IS filled is not inflammable.
 Leaving her station at Lakehurst, N. J., on what Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the navy bureau of aeronautics, described as ''the most severe test to which a dirigible has ever been sub jected," the Shenandoah pointed south- ward and began at a smooth, steady pace her 7,00O.mile journey across the continent and return. The dirigible's first stop will be at Fort Worth, Texas, where mooring mast awaits her. She also will be moored to masts in San Diego, Cal, and Camp Lewis, Wash, the only other pauses she will make in spanning the continent.
 Besides Admiral Moffett. g officers and men are aboard the vessel, which carries rations sufficient for five days. Three thousand gallons of gasoline are carried for the motors, enough for them to operate continuously for 90 hours.

FIRST AID MEET DRAWS HUNDREDS
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) communities they represented and while prizes could not be given to all of those participating, the judges were hard pressed to choose the best All of the teams, it was ptated, demonstrated that earnest work has been underway fol lowing instruction of physicians and others at the mines during the past few months.
 The demonstrations consisted of every kind of an injury which might take place at a coal mine. The cases were designated by the judges, most of whom were physicians. The teams were then engaged in taking care of the suggested injury, the practice being on a member of the team designated as the patient. It was interesting to witness the delft ness with which the team members ,dressed wounds, set broken legs, arms, dislocated shoulders and other typical cases.
 Awards By Points
 Following the execution of the typical case, the judges would award points to the team to which he was assigned and these were calculated by the chief judges of the various events. The teams secur- ing the most points were declared the winners.
 The teams listed were as follows:

TULSA, Okla, Oct. "A modern version of the 'pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" was depicted today at the oil congress, held in connection with the international petroleum exposition when Shade E. Wallen,i Muskogee, Okla, su- perintendent of the five civilized tribes, told of the finding of oil on Indian lands in Oklahoma and the millions of dollars that tribesmen received as a re- suit of the discovery.
 Since leasing the lands of members of the five civilized tribes (Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and Seminoles) for oil and gas mining pur- poses first began in the Indian territory, the Indian office at Muskogee, has col lected for individuals restricted Indians more than $52.000,000 in oil royalties, Wallen declared.
 Restricted land comprise but 15 per cent of the lands originally allotted to the five tribes, he added. On this basis oil and gas to the value of $2,8OO, ,000,- 900 have been produced from the entire holdings of the tribesmen, the superin- tendent pointed out.
 Tribes Enrolled
 The federal government in 1898 began preparations for the enrolment of the five tribes and the rolls finally were closed March 4, 1907, Wallen said. There were 101 ,506 allotments, covering an area of 19,535,969 acres in the forty counties now comprising the territory of the five civilized tribes. The average allotment of the Choctaws was 320 acres Chickasaws 320 acres Cherokees no acres; Creeks 160 acres, and Semi holes 120 acres.
 Discovery of oil on the Indian lands was made by Edwin Bird, living at Chelsea, Rogers county, while standing

SHIP SAILS SMOOTHLY
Flies Over Washington and on Down
 Across Car0linas

ABOARD U. S. S. SHENANDOAH, FEN ROUTE TO FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. Its silver form skimming grace fully across the sky, the naval dirigible Shenandoah was passing over North Carolins last tonight, on her way to the Pacific coast. The giant airship left Washington behind at a rate of 55 miles an hour from the time she reached the city limits at Hyattsville at o'clock until she sailed over the Lincoln me morial and crossed the Potomac with another tribute to the Arlington me morial ampitheater.
 A dozen navy airplanes greeted the Shenandoah at the edge of the capital. As the planes circled around the slow CT moving dirigible, two passenger trains were also speeding to Washing ton on a parallel course. They were far outdistanced by the airship as she passed the Laurel race track.
 The Shenandoah is sailing smoothly with hardly vibration or swell in the forward navigation cabin. Only three of her five motors have been used.
 Flying along at an easy speed of 40 mile an hour and at an altitude of between 1,200 and 1 300 feet, the craft must have looked like giant chicken hawk. In many farm yards fright ened chickens sped Tapping to cov- CT. Automobiles and farm wagons were stationary on the roads below as their occupants paused to gaze upward.
 At II :25 Tuesday morning the Shen- andoah reached the Delaware river and followed the course of the stream as far as Wilmington. Far below the outline of the craft on the surface of the water looked like massive, shadowy fish.
 Alterations were made in the Shen- andoah's course to bring the dirigible over Washington and Baltimore. It was decided to enter the capital across Potomac park and to go into Virginia by way of Arlington and Mount Vernon.
 At the present speed and with con- tinued favorable weather Atlanta should >have been reached by midnight Tues

COP. P.SLUSH FUND
 IS NOW CHARGED
(COntinued from Page One)


 United States no man with such record as that of Slemp has ever been selected by president to act as his confidential adviser and official repres- sentative.
 That is the man who, it appears. is likely to be elected to handle this huge slush found to buy the election for Calvin Coolidge. The White House-the official bome/ of all the great presi- dents of the United States, the symbol of the nations government-is to be drawn into this huge conspiracy to cor rupt nation.
 Attacks Slemp
 Why is Slemp to be selected to handle this slush fund.-" I will tell you. He has had wide experience in rounding up southern delegates to the republican national convention. Every body knows what this means. Every body knows that there has not been q republican national convention in Il generation where the purchase and sale of southern delegates has not been an open scandal"
 The letter signed by Mir. Grundy was addressed to Citizen of Pennsylvania. '' said Senator La Toilette, who had read extracts from it interpola ting as he went along. The letter says" declared MT La Toilette, "'is it not time that we as Pennsylvanians look the political sit uatlon squarely in the face and call things by their right name? We are confronted by the possibilities of a vio. lent social and industrial revolution
 "Oh, what guilty consciences these gentlemen have," interjected the senator No one else in the United States ex- cept perhaps the communists has sug- gested such a thing. Every intelligent man knows that the only condition un- der which there can possibly be a revo- lution in this country is when the gov ernment of this country becomes so cor rupted through just such methods as are intimated in this letter that the peo- pie as whole lost all faith in the bal lot and turn to other desperate methods of redress.
 The letter continues: We have in La Toilette and Wheeler a Lenine and Trotzky with a formidable band of fol- lowers made up of the vicious, ignorant and discontented element, openly or ganized for battle.'
 "This means you" Mir. La Toilette told ms audience. You are vicious, says Mir. Grundy. You are ignorant, says MT. Grundy. You men who risk your lives every day to mine Mir. War riners coal and you men who run Mir. Stotesbury's, railroads, you men who went to France and faced death in the trenches, while Mir. Warriner and Mir. Stotesbury stayed comfortably at home and piled up their millions of extor- tionate profits. You are ignorant and vicious; MT. Stotesbury's man Grundy says so.
 ' They, says the letter. meaning the vicious, ignorant. and discontented fol. lowers of La Toilette and Wheeler, they will likely cast million of votes next November, perhaps enough to de feat the Republican party.

Royalties From Oil Lands
 Make Indians MilLionaires

on the broad prairie about five miles northeast of Chelsea. Mir. Bird had an inspiration that there was something beneath the earth's surface of this vast domain that would mean much to the development of this land and to human ity," Wallen said.
 Obtaining a contract with the Chero- kee nation, Bird drilled six wells to the depth of 165 feet, developing about a barrel of oil day in each well.
 This was the extent of the oil devel' opment until 1901 when the first dis covery of we'll in paying quantities was drilled in at Bedford in the Creek nation," the superintendent continued.
 Then came the discovery of oil around Bartlesville and the extensive develop ment of the Indian lands followed, Wallen added
 Royalties jumped from $1.931.38 on 1909 leases in 1903 to $5,07S,00O in 1920, the oil men were told.
 Sees Greater Development
 Considering the great development in the Osage, Ponca and other Indian sec tions in Oklahoma, including all the surface machinery for development, the railroads and pipe lines and salaries paid in producing the oil, we have reach cd business proposition amounting to virtually $10,000,00O,O00," Wnllen de clared.
 "The Mid-Continent Oil and Gas as- sociation. which has developed these, the greatest oil fields in the world, can feel justly proud of this record" he declared
 Forecasting greater discoveries in the Oklahoma Indian nations, Wallen con- cluded':
 ''The development of oil in this vast territory yet is in it's infancy and it is believed the future will see untold dis coveries of even greater fields"
