FARM AID BILLS
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire,

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Farm relief
legislation today was again the focus
for sharp congressional debate eli.
NAKED by charges in the senate that
the McNary bill, which is similar to
the Haugen proposal rejected by the
house, favored British interests. AS
sailing the McNary measure, Senator
Fess republican, Ohio, declared it
would "sovietize the great agricul-
tural industry" and transfers Great
Britains unemployment problem to
the United States. Sir Josiah Stamp,
the British economist, who endorsed
the principle Ct the bill through Vice
President Dawes, favored the meas
ure, Senator Fess said, because it
would insure /. a cheap food supply to
England.
Vice President Dawes, who is one
of those directing the legislation,
walked into the chamber in the midst
of Senator Fess' attack and listened
with interest.
In the house, the debate ranged
over a wide field, including prohibit
tion, the Iowa primary and foreign
debts.
The ills of the farmers were
charged to the Volstead act by Rep
resentative Schafer, republican, Wis
consin, who declared it virtually had
destroyed the farmers market for
grain, especially barley.
He was challenged by Representa-
tive Williamson, republican, South Da-
kota, who said production of barley
had increased since prohibition.
The wisconsin member, refusing to
retract his statement, observed that
"hope for farmers won't perish if
they all act as the Iowa farmers do"

GALES
FOR ACTIONS
(By Dispatch A. p. wirs)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas,
June 9.-Mexico's religious
and agrarian policies were
attacked tonight by Adolfo
De La Huerta in his first
public expression since he
led a revolt which failed
against the Gales govern
ment in 1924. De La Huerta
told newspaper men he still
was unfriendly toward the
present Mexican govern
ment.
"When I was selected provisional
president in 1920, / issued proclaim
alton guaranteeing the freedom of
religious thought in Mexico and free
dom for all teachings" he said. 81
am still of that opinion.
During my administration, MANY
refugee ministers of all denomina-
tions returned to Mexico and were
welcomed They opened schools
which were badly needed by the Mex
lean people and they continued to
exercise their right of religious wor-
ship and teachings UP to the present
administration.
when 1 launched the revolt in
Vera Cruz against President Obregon
in 1928 I issued a proclamation in
which was included a plank on the
agrarian question. I stated then that
land which was to be appropriated
under the agrarian law should be
paid for in cash. I was not in favor
of taking single acre without pay
ing the owners thereof for it in cash.
Il am still of the same opinion"
De La Huerta said he was visiting
friends here and that he expected to
remain until Saturday. He said he
was preparing a detailed statement
of his stand on the present problems
of Mexico which would be issued
tomorrow afternoon. He expected to
discuss the religious and agrarian
problems at length in that statement.

PAWHUSKA, Okla, June 9.-Months
of investigation by department of
justice agents and state officials into
a series of mysterious murders in
the Usage Indian country of Okla
homa bore fruit today when Ernest
Burkhart, nephew of w. K. Sale, king
of the Usage hills" pleaded guilty in
state district court mere to charge
of murder.
Burkhart who had been on trial
for more than two weeks, suddenly
dismissed his attorneys and pleaded
guilty to a charge of killing w. f..
Smith, rancher. He will be SEN
fenced June 81.
The clearing up of this case, au-
thorities declare, strengthens their
their theory of the existence of a
huge conspiracy which involved the
killing of rich Usage Indians for their
property. Smiths murder had been
linked with a series of other slay
ings.
Burkhart issued a statement in
which he accused his uncle, Hale, of
being the leader of a plot to slay
Smith. He said that he assisted Hale
in finding an assassin to blow up the
Smith home. Smith, his Indian wife,
Rita and a, white girl, were killed
in an explosion in March, 1928 A
part of the alleged murder con-
spiracy, the authorities contends, in

But pressure being brought to bear
from so many of my friends in all
parts of the state, and the impressive
number of signatures to the petitions
asking me to become candidate have
brought me to the point where l feel
that it is my duty to the state to
serve if called upon, and for that rea-
son I have decided to enter the cam

AS the 50th anniversary of Clusters
Last Stand" which will fall on June
25, approaches, John B. Wiley of this
city, who served with the 9Th United
States infantry under General Terry
at that time, recalls how those troops
arrived just a day too late to per-
haps stem the tide of that tragic
battle.
Wiley arrived with the other mem
bers of the 9Th infantry at the scene
Of the massacre on June 26, 1876,
lust one day after the Indians had
done their terrible work. 1t was
intended that the 9Th infantry troops
should meet those of Custer on June
rs, but the soldiers under General
Terry were one day late. When
they did reach the scene of con-
flict, they found only the dead
rible massacres the world has ever
known.
Wiley recalls how he and his fell
low members buried the victims Of
the Indians and although the local
man believes that perhaps the 500
soldiers of "the Sixth" might have
turned the tide if they had reached
Custer on June 25, he is not SO sure
but that they too might have been
killed.
The 9Th infantry was travelling
from Fort Yates at the time but
found it impossible to make the trip
as quickly as they had figured.

campaign which ended with the in

The annexation of the Hawaiian ISL

more to the individual efforts of San
leader. He had been one of the out
standing figures in the islands dur
ing the latter years of their monarch
ical government and the decade fol-
lowing their annexation to the Uni
ted States. He served as the first
and only president of the republic of
Hawaii, whose existence from 1894
to 1900 is now all but forgotten.
Dole was born in Hawaii April 23,
1874, the son of Daniel and Emily
Ballard Dole, American missionaries.
He was educated at Oahu college, Ha-
wall, and Williams college at Will
Hams college at Williamstown, Mass.
He studied law at Boston and was
admitted to the bar there. Returning
to the islands he engaged in the
practice of law at Honolulu, and en-
tered politics as member of the
Hawaiian legislature, in which he
served from 1882 to 1886. He became
leader of the reform movement
among the foreign element in 1885,
which forced King Kalagauas sigma
ture to the so-called bayonet consti-
tuition, which caused the king to re-
sign many of his royal prerogative:'.
Elevated to the supreme court in
1887, he served until 1898, when he
became head of the provisional gov
ernment which was set up by the
reform party after successful re-
volt against Queen Liliokalani, who
had succeeded her brother, King
Kalakaua, on the throne. This re-
volt resulted from an attempt of the
queen to restore more absolute
monarchy and disenfranchise the for
eigners.
