INDIANS SEEK BOOST
IN PAYMENTS BY U. S.
Usage Tribesmen Want Increase in
Sum Allowed Minors and In
competent Adults.

Forty Usage Indians of Oklahoma
most of them in picturesque native
sarb, called on Indian Commissioner
Burke today for the third time in as
many years and renewed their plea
for modification or repeal of a law
enacted in 1921, limiting the amounts
paid annually to incompetent and re-
stricted members of the tribe from
proceeds of oil and gas leases on
their lands.
Unrestricted members receive S19.-
900 a year. while the law objected to
limits minors and incompelent ADULTS
TO $4,000 a year, the remaining $4,000
for each being held in trust by the
Government.
Commissioner Burke told members
of the delegation, as he had on their
previous visits, that they erred in
not seeking part Of what they desired
instead of trying to have the limit
lifted altogether.
IF you would proceed on the
theory that half a loaf is better than
no loaf at all you would get some
where" he said. You make the
mistake of wanting all or nothing
Go after part of what you want and
then seek the rest"
Commissioner Burke later escorted
the Indians to the White House, where
they met President Coolidge.

CAR AND BUS LINES
VIE FOR NEW ROUTE
w., R. & E. Applies for Cross
town Franchise Following
Transit Company Action.

A lively contest loomed today be-
tween the Washington Rapid Transit
Co. and the Washin gton Railway and
Electric Co. over the question of
which system should operate the new
crosstown bus line from the area
west of Wisconsin avenue to the
downtown section.
The transit company several weeks
ago applied for bus route travers-
ing the city from Thirty-seventh and
streets northwest, through the
downtown section and out to Fiji
teenth and Maryland avenue north
east.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Co. yesterday afternoon applied
TO the commission for a bus line from
the same starting point to Tenth and
E streets northwest.
Leon Arnold president of the
transit company, came out today with
a statement declaring that the ap-
plication of the railway company
was an effort to prevent the extern
sion of the bus company.
Mr.. Arnold said that If the railway
company's bus application should be
granted it would necessarily prevent
his company from giving the cross
town service it had asked for. The
railway company's bus line would
stop at Tenth and E streets north
west. but, Mr.. Arnold said, he would
be unwilling to have his company put
In bus line from that point to Fla
teenth street and Maryland avenue
northeast.
Protection of Territory.
The president of the bus company
concluded his statement by assert
ing that heretofore the commission
has been careful not to allow the
transit company to get into the ter
ritory of the railways and that ne
did not believe the commission would
allow the railways to operate busses
in such a. manner as either to cripple
or curtaiI the service of the transit
company.
The proposed route of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric follows:
From Thirty seventh and streets,
east on T to Thirty-ffth, south to q,
east to Massachusetts avenue, east
to twentieth street, south to K street
east to Thirteenth street, south to d
street and east to Tenth street. Re-
turning, the busses would go north
nm Tenth to K and thence over the
same route westward.
The company proposes an Scent
cash fare, with tokens at the same
rate charged on street cars. Request
is made for the sale of 2-cent trans
fers to the companys car ines, put
only to those passengers pavip~ a
cash fare The bus company fare
would be 10 cents cash or tokens at
FIVE for 45 cents.
It is further proposed by the rail-
way company that busses connect at
Seventeenth and K streets for Po-
tomac Park and vicinity between z
o'clock in the morning and evening.
The commission probably will hold
a hearing early in February to con-
slider the several proposals. that have
been put forward.

logg, American Ambassador to Great

nate, departing from Paris today to
resume his post in London, left the
impression among his fellow dele
gates to the financial conference here

tinental affairs In general. In his
conversations with the leading states
men OF France, Belgium and Italy ne
appeared bent upon obtaining as
much information s possible. but the
members of the other delegations re-
marked that he was giving little
away himself.
Ambassador Kellogg contrived to
remain absolutely free from commit
ting himself concerning anything re-
garding the future policy of the
United States, and even the bare
mention of the allied debt question
was taboo in the conversations In
which he participated.
Mr.. Kellogg's last day in Paris was
spent entirely at Ambassador Her
ferred with Mr.. Herrick and James
A. Logan, the American reparations
representative, but he met none of the
representatives either of the foreign
Office or the military finance, offieially
or unoficially.
Mrs. Kellogg, who had an extreme
ly busy social week in Paris, accom-
panied her husband back to London.
