First reports of the results of
scientific tests concerned the radio.
At Yerkes Observatory, Iron Noun
tain, Mich, a slight increase in VOL
ume and clarity of the radio was
noted. At Waterbury, Conn, a
marked departure from direction of
the tone wave was apparent. The
Radio Corporation of America, in
New York, reported that its
tests showed that short wave length
follows the sun and that static is not
entirely a local condition.
Station WIP of Philadelphia was
heard in London during the eclipse
a result which may prove very i'm
portant in the study of radio waves.
The eclipse averaged four seconds
later than astronomers had calcu-
lated 1t was five seconds behind

Vassar and five second at Yale.

Substantial progress has been
made during the past week toward
q final solution of the Chippewa
problem, and arrangements have
been made whereby relief will be
afforded the Indians at an early
date in the form of a per capita
payment.
At q meeting of the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs held on
Wednesday, January 21st, the bill
known as H. R. 25, introduced by
Representative Knutson and pro-
viding for per capita payment of
$50 to the Red Lake. Indians,
which had passed the House last
June, was amended so as to provide
for a per capita payment of $50 to
all the Chippewa Indians in Mime
sofa. The bill as amended will
probably be a law by the time this
communication reaches The ToMA-
HAWK.
The jurisdictional bill which
refers all the claims of the indians
to the Court of Claims was also
agreed to at the meeting of the
Senate Committee held on the
above date. The departmental
bill was amended so that the In
dians can recover for all losses
they have sustained by the failure
of the Government to administer
their estate in conformity with
their treaties and laws.
The recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
in the case of Morrison against
Work, Secretary Of the Interior,
and others assisted materially in
securing, foe the Indians the de-
sired amendments In that case
the court held that the United
States has and was exercising the
powers OF a guardian for the In
dians and a trustee in possession
under the agreements of 1889; that
it was the duty of the United
States to administer the property
in. conformity with the trust
assumed, and that the United
States was under obligation to
account to the Indians therefor.
The jurisdictional provisions of
the bill is contained in the first
section. The following is a literal
copy of the first section of the bill
as agreed to: >..-..- -
Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That all
claims of whatsoever nature which
the Chippewa Indians of Minneso-
ia may have against the United
States, which have not heretofore
been determined by court of
competent jurisdiction, may be
submitted to the Court of Claims
for the determination of the
amount, if any, due or claimed TO
be due said Indians from the
United States under any treaty or
agreement or law of Congress. or
for the misappropriation of any of
the property or funds of said In
dians, or for the failure of the
United to administer the same in
conformity with any treaty or

tion against Commissioner of In

days prior to the marriage q won.
an he described as Mrs. Ann Lowe
came to Henryetta, Oklahoma, and
hired a taxi driver to take. her to
Barnett's home.
This woman as we'll as several
other women became interested in
Barnett after the latter had given
$25, 900, to a Baptish church,
O'Hornett said. II warned her
that Barnett had been declared an
incompetent by the courts, but she
declared she intended to marry
him in any event." OHornett
stated. Subsequently she went
away, returning late one night ac-
companied by a Mrs. Moorhead of
Tulsa. They drove up to Bar
nett's house in a large touring car
and called the old man out. He
came dressed only in his shirt and
pants. After argument, they got
Barnett into the car and drove off.
O'Hornett said he was informed
of this within thirty minutes and
Immediately called up various
towns to watch out for the car.
The next day he received word
that Barnett had been married to
Mrs. Lowe at Cofeyville, Kansas.
