To Decide If Indian Had
Right to Give Away

- D n clL, NnrE renmc

WASHINGTON, oct. 15.-The I'M
usual spectacle of one government
division attempting to nullify the
act of another will be presented to-
day in New York.
The Department of Justice will
endeavor, to prove that action by
former Secretary of Interior A. B.
Fall, and Indian Commissioner
Charles II. Burke, in permitting
Jackson Barnett, aged Oklahoman,
to give away $1,100,000 of his
property, was unwarranted and un-
just.
Affixes Thumb Mark
The officials named allowed Bar
nett, then over 20 years of age, to
affix his thumb mark to a COM
plicated legal document and give
away more than a million dollars.
The American Baptist home mis-
sion society which received $55O,OOO
from the transaction, is one Of the
defendants in the suit. The action is
brought by Elmer Bailey guardian
.,fCr the aged Indian, in an effort to
I'VE the money restored.
SGThe conflict between the two Gov.
eminent Departments ensues from
the fact that the Department Of
Justice has upheld the legality Of
Baileys claims by intervening as a
party plaintiff in the lawsuit.

FOX FILMS OF
WONDERLAND TO
BE SHOWN HERE

If present plans materialize, a Fox
film featuring the scenic beauties of
the Wonderland Of Rocks Will be
shown at the Grand theatre in this
city at near date.
The film of Rhyolite park was
taken few weeks ago by Jack Nc
Farland of the Fox News Weekly
who passed several days in Douglas
and vicinity making pictures, of va
rious attractions here. Those pic
lures which he filmed of the Won
oerland of Rocks have already been
released, the cameraman has noti
tied the Douglas chamber of COM
merce and mines and are being dis
played in Los Angeles.
Just when the wonderland film
will reach this city has not been de-
termined but the local chamber is
arranging to have it shown here AT
the Grand theatre at the earliest
possible date. Although the local
playhouse does not ordinarily handle
the Fox News reel it is believed that
it will be possible to have this film
of that weekly brought to Douglas
for a special showing.
Mcfarland has written that as
yet, the pictures which he took of
Douglas and Aqua Prieta have not
been released His film of Rhyolite
park, however, in his opinion, should
prove a most picturesque and ap-
pealing one. Not only did the Fox
cameraman snap several scenes in
this city but he also caught many
views at the international line here
and in Aqua Prieta proper He
passed one evening while here in
making a film of the Stag dumps at
the smelters while whole day was
devoted to taking pictures of the acI
tual processes in the smelters here.
AS the Fox News weekly is shown
throughout all sections of the coun-
{ try, it is believed that McFarland's
film of the Wonderland of Rocks
Will reach thousands of folks in the
east and thus be a splendid adver-
tisement for that park. If his other
local films turn out well they will
be placed on circuit also while it
is likely that the wonderland pic
lures may be obtained by the local
chamber permanently, after they
have been shown over the regular
Fox circuit.
Definite announcement will be
made soon as to when the film will
be displayed at the Grand theatre.
