STATIC BEATEN
IN TEST BY
WGY
Schenectady Station. With so
KiIoWatts of Power, Over
comes Bugaboo
By BTSTENER-N

Summer static can be conquered
That was obvious last night when
q musical program from wGY
Schenectady. came rolling into
Washington on so kilowatts OF
super-power without a trace of
static.
The Schenectady program was
the second of a series OF test pro.
grams on real super-power by the
General Electric Company's station,
WGY, in an attempt to solve the
static bugaboo and make radio a
year-round sport.
The first test program was offered
Saturday night curing one of the
worst electrical storms OF the year
and showed signs of what was
coming, without actually proving
anything. But last nights perform
ai1ce was conclusive.
In spite of the ordinary summer
static which is found near.y every
night at this time OF year and
which was strong enough to ruin
nearly all other programs, the sig
nails from WGY came in strong and
clear and were as satisfactory in
every way as on an average winter
night.
The most promising part Of the
whole performance was the an.
nouncement made by the station
that nearby listeners reported they
were not blanketed by the increased
power and found it more difficult

On Arms of Naples

NAPLES, July 29.-For some
days past the women OF Naples
have been wearing long sleeves,
Notwithstanding the high tenn
perature. They are afraid to
do otherwise, for several women
have found on their return home,
after they have been out with
bare arms, that a mark IN In

A report has gone around that
this was the work of certain
officious Fascist, who acted as
they did in the name of public

The Fascist are indignant at
this, and have sent out a COM

have had nothing whatever to
do with these outrages, and
that such conduct on the part

wishes in respect OF that point.
"Mr. KING. l have been a.
mazed at the hostility of the Indian

wrongdoing by the Indian Bureau

of which it is claimed they have
lost millions of dollars. am told
that the Indian Bureau has sought
to circumscribe this legislation

the same would be to deny the
Indians the relief which they claim
they are entitled to-. If the Sem
ator can assure me that the efforts
of the Indian Bureau have been
abortive, shall have no objection
TO the adoption of the conference
report.
"Mr. HARRELD. OF course,
there we're differences of opinion
between the department and others

bill should be couched, but l think
the bill is pretty satisfactory to

HEHDERsoA'S DEMAND IS UNJUsTIFIED
No Attorney Is Entitled to any Fee for the
Passage Of This Act.

Recently Congress. passed a bill
directing the payment of the claims
of the Mile Lac Chiefs for ser.
vices rendered the Chippewa In
dians in the prosecution of the
Mile Lac claim. Under the bill
the Mile Lac Chiefs will each re.

Before the President affixed his
signature to the bill reports were
current in Minnesota that certain
individuals were claiming the en-
tire credit for securing the passage
of the bill and were making de-
msnds on the old Chiefs for a part
of the money appropriated as
compensation for their services in
securing the legislation. At that
time no one apparently knew who
the persons were who were max
ing the unjust demand upon the
old Chiefs. The situation was re-

mands upon Wah we yea cumig

Wah we yea cumig is to receive,
and it is understood that similar
demands have been made by Mr..
Henderson upon some of the other
old Chiefs or their estates. The
ToMAHAwK is amazed to learn that
Mr.. Henderson made such a re
quest. He received practically
$40, 900 from the Mile Lac case
of Chippewa money. He has been
employed for a number of years
and is now employed as the attor
ney for the Red Lake Band. re
ceiving, as we are Informed,
5000 per annum and his expens
es. He may have done something
to aid in the passage of the bill,
but be played NO greater part in
securing the legislation than did
Mr.. Ballinger. The legislation
was started years ago by the Gen
eral Council. The Chippewa In.
dians must view the claim now
made by Mr.. Henderson upon the
old Chiefs with disfavor. 1t is
not just claim, and it is to be
hoped that the old Chiefs and the
estates OF those woo are dead will
follow Mr.. Ballinger's advice and
refuse to recognize any claim sub
mitted by any person for services
rendered in securing the legisla-
ton, The Chippewa people will
remember that Mr.. Ballinger has
been working for them for years
without receiving a dollar for his
services and in addition has been
paying his own expenses. He
makes no claim for any compen.
sation against the old Chiefs or
their estates. Yet the one man
wio has been receiving Chippewa
money for a number of years past
and at one time received as much
as $40, 900 is the man who is max
ing the demand upon these old
Indians. 1t is almost unbelieve.
able.

was submitted to the Senate on the
jurisdictional bill the Congressional
Record discloses that Senator
King who secured the investiga.

HEAVY INCREASE

The popularity of the Grape has
expanded greatly during recent
years. And today it is one of the
most generally liked fruits in these
United States. This cogent fact is
brought to the fore by John S..
Dennee, Federal agricultural Stats
tician for Maryland, who has been
lately studying the statistical phases
of the case.
According to the Statistician the
carload movement of grapes in 1924
was almost six times what it was
in 1916,-say 69,93S carloads
against 12,O6S in the latter year.
California, the greatest vineyard
of them all, moved into consuming
channels 57,70O carloads of the
luscious fruit last year against a
paltry BAIT in 1916. This year the
Golden Gate State has 100000 acres
of bearing vines, and production OF
all grapes is. expected to total
2,04S,00 tons. allowing that nothing
untoward happens between now and
harvest. In 1924 California pro-
duced 1,55O,OOO tons estimated to
be worth $54,25O,O0O to the growers.
slightly larger tonnage was pro-
duced in 1922 and was valued at
$73,S41 on the farm.
The National grape crop forecast
for this year is 100000 tons
against 2,03O,OO0, the average of
the past three years. But, of course,
production may be greater or less
than this forecast as developments
during the remainder of the season
prove more or less favorable than
usual.
Delaware, our neighboring State,
moved out during 1924 a total of
10S carloads, and in addition 15,S4S
twelve-quart baskets were trans
ported by truck. Philadelphia re-
mains the principal receiving point
for Delaware grapes. Kent Is the
principal producing county. Della
wares total production in 1924
was 1,tVV tOHS-Aioatiy SOhSoiuS'
Maryland produced only ITO tons,
and they, were consumed for the
most part in the sections where
grown. Frederick county is Mary
lands leading county on grapes.
On August 1 it was estimated that
production this year In Maryland
would be only one-half OF last
years tonnage.

1t appeared that he had signed

tions with Miss Solka, under the
pretended marriage. He demanded
$500 to drop the prosecution
which Shaw refused to pay. Bove
claimed he was acting merely as

REVENUE FROM PENNSYLVA-
MAS GASOLINE TAX

Under the original Gasoline tax
act, which imposed tax of one cent
on each gallon of gasoline sold in
Pennsylvania, one-half of the tax
was directed to be paid to the coun-
ties from which the same was col
lected, and the remaining half went
into the general fund of the State.
In 1928 the Legislature passed the
so-called Emergency Gasoline Tax
Act" which imposed an additional
one cent tax on each gallon Of gaso-
line sold, and provided for the pay
ment thereof into the general fund.
\ While the legislature of 1925 did
not disturb the proportion of this
tax payable to the counties, it provid-
ed that of the total of two cents
imposed on each gallon of gasoline
one and one-half cents should go
into the motor fund as heretofore.
This act took effect on June l., 1925.
The act further provides that
these monies thus coming into the
motor fund shall in effect be used
for sinking fund Expenditures, that
is, for meeting the payment of inter-
est and principal on the various road
loans as the same becomes due.
Payments to the several counties
under the law are made August l,
and February L. The total receipts
from gasoline tax from January 1,
1925, to June 80, 1925, the period
on which the August first distribu-
ton to counties is based, amounted
to $4,657,75O.44.
Amount paid into the general
fund, S2,918,423.22; amount paid
into the motor fund, $56O,475.11;
amount remitted to the several
counties, $1,178,S52.11.
