relinQuished. An instance of that
sort Is comprehended by bill passed
In Congress for the benefit of tribe

which was considered hostile. The
arrangement was. 1t seems, that Me-
nominee Indians were to be established
on the buffer territory in question
Instead of that, the government put
in a band of Araphoes, who were not
considered friendly enough. The re-
suit was a claim for the value of the
land thus improperly utilized-and a
big claim.
"Jurisdictional bills''-i.e., acts of
Congress enabling Indians to sue in
the Court Of Claims-are common in
Congress. Only few weeks ago

Oklahoma, put in typical bill of that

STE|NBERGFREED
OF TAX CHARGES
Alleged BootIegger Wins in
Income Case, Due to Lack
of Evidence.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 13.--The con-
viction of Charles J. SteinberG, de-
scribed as the first alleged bootlegger
to be arrested for falSifying his in
come tax, was set aside yesterday by
the Circuit Court of Appeals, but the
reversal offered slight food for reJolc-
ing among the score or so OF others
awaiting trial on similar charges. the
most widely known of these Is Mamie
kessler known as king OF the boot
leggers, now under indictment for de-
frauding the Government of taxes on
his alleged liquor operations.
Government Right Not Impaired.
The Steinberg conviction, consisting
of a fine of $40, 900 and a penitentiary
sentence of five years, was set aside,
but not because of any ruling that the
Government cannot demand taxes on
illegal profits. The reversal was due
entirely to the alleged f1imsiness Oh
evidence against Steinberg.
Steinberg was acquitted in 1923 of
charges of defrauding the Govern
ment through liquor Withdrawals. but
several months later was indicted for
perjury and filing false income tax
returns In 1920,2l he was said to
have paid tax of only S424.53, while
operating various drug companies,
when he should have paid taxes ag-
gregating 100000 on u business of
$1.500, 900.

Asks What Is
Autointoxication

Your lower bowel or colon Is full
of poisonous microbes-permanent
lodgerS. These virulent poisons
are absorbed by the intestines, get
into the blood stream and contami-
nato every organ and cell in the
body. Then you have AutointoXt-
cation, which in time will lead to
more serious disorders.
Some call it Intestinal ToXemia
and others self-poisoning, but what
ever YOU call it, don't make the
mistake of treating 1t too lightly.
1t Is usually caused by constipation
and no one who has 1t is as active
mentally and physically as he
should be. The skin is not as clear
as it should be and the eyes have
not that healthy sparkle.
To combat autointoxication and
get rid of the virulent. pernicious,
poisonous microbes which infest
the colon. cut out meat for a while
and eat plenty of green vegetables
and ripe fruit.
In addition to this diet, take two
ToxiTabs every night before going
to bed-fOllOwed by glass OF
water. Don't miss a night-till
every sign of constipation and self
poisoning is gone.
Peoples Drug Stores and all live
druggists dispense Toxi-Tabs and

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Behind the Budget Bureaus request

lies the story of the most colossal
money claims ever filed against Uncle
Sam by his Indian wards. A dozen or
more tribes are seeking payment Of
claims agGregating 1887. .632. The
claims, in the form of "jurisdictional
bills" have already been approved by
previous Congresses and are now on
the threshold of formal prosecution in
the Court Of Claims The United
States must defend them or they will
become collectible by default. In or.

sponsibility, it will be necessary for

do, as far back as the year 1900.

is why the controller general will
be directed to make the fairest and

the Indian claims.
In general, the claims rest upon
moneys said to be due this or that

treaties, agreements or laws or for
the misappropriation of any of the

good many of the claims are pretty
tall and few err on the side of
