KIN TESTIFY IN
INDIAN DEATHS

GUTHRIE. Okla, Jan. S.---New
elements OF mystery were added
today TO the Federal grand jury in
vestigation of the alleged murders
for millions" in which the Govern
ment Charges that some of the
richest Indians in the world have
been slain for their head rights, ="
amounting in the one case under
inquiry to- 100000.
twenty-five of the witnesses
called by the Government were dis
charged late yesterday and as the
hearing resumed this morning it
was rumored that they had been
summoned not to give testimony
in the Nellie Burkhart case now
under investigation but for the
Government to get 4 line on other
possible Usage Indian murders,
Witnesses in the last few years
have been inundated, Government
and State agents have been driven
out of the Usage hills by threats
and Indians who might have known
of other mysterious murders have
often been found in the lonely foot
hills with bullet wounds in their
bodies.
Five witnesses were examined
late yesterday. They were relatives
of the four Indian women alleged
to have been slain, and doctors are
believed to have testified as to the
manner of death of the women and
the present illness of Mollie Burk-
hart, said to be dying OF diabetes.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The busI
ness of settling the strike OF 15s,00t
anthracite coal miners was proceed

success.
For the first time since the oper
ators and miners broke up their
negotiations in Atlantic City last
August, which was followed by the
strike on September ], both sides
! are right down to business basis.
Deliberations have passed into the
trading" phase.
Two important matters, both
being traded upon, are temporarily
| holding off a settlement. namely
Two Principal Issues.
!. How much of a wage increase,
IL any, shall the miners get undos
new contract?
2. What shall be the duration OF
the new contract?
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, wants the
operators to give the men ~ per
cent increase in wages.
The operators contend that they
cannot do this asserting that the
miners should return to work at
their old pay. The miners may get
per cent raise, but well,in.
formed persons say Lewis VIII be
doing pretty well if he s1rs that
much.
The operators want a iOnS term
contract. Lewis is i.Oldiug out for
a short contract He NAV agree to
three.year contract, or possibly
a five-year contract. out he recoils
at the suggestion of ten-year
contract.
The official statement. issued after
adjournment of yesterdays confer

was Illuminating. 1t read:
Text Of Statement
AT the suggestion of Chairman
Markle the anthracite conference

PLANTATION today. 1t was explained
from one quarter that he was busy
with his mail. but from another
source it was understood he was
putting in long distance calls to dis.
trict organizations in the anthracite
coal fields.
Before Lewis makes any definite
agreement with the operators, or
any far-reaching trades, he will
make sure that he will have the
sanction Of the various union lead
CPS back in the mining districts who
will be called upon to ratify his
action.

before the judiciary Committee.
Mr. Sargent was called TO the

antitrust decree.
He defended the Department Of
Justice, declaring its investigators

of the investigation until October
1926, seven months after he took
office and nine months after his
predecessor, Harlan r. Stone. had
ordered the investigation.

The examination of Sargent was
conducted by Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, CD of Montana, who pros

Sargent declared his first knowl-

when newspapermen asked him
whether the department intended to

The District Commissioners to-

regulation to abolish all-night
parking in Washington. Il is.
necessary to get vote of two to
one for action by the Board of
Commissioners.
Upon the suggestion Of Com
missioner Frederick Al. Fenning.
Traffic Director M O. Eldridge.
with the advice of Assistant Cor
pbration Counsel Ringold Hart.
submitted the following draft:
Text Of the PROPOSED
Except where Otherwise per
nlltfed by these regulations m
motor vehicle or vehicle Of ans
kind or description shall Be
parked or left standing on any
public space In the District Of
Columbia between the hours OF
o'clock al m. and o'clock
a. m. for a longer period than
| four hours.
The regulation would have been
effective on and after July 1. 1926.
In his recommendation to the
Board of Commissioners Director
Eldridge said that he had made a
careful study of the situation in
Washington and compared 1t to
other cities where such bans are
in effect.
1t is understood that although
most of the letters objecting to the
passage of the regulation were re-
ceived directly by Commissioners
Fenning, a few copies. reaching the
hands of Commissioners Rudolph
and Bell vitality affected the action
of the board.
Commissioners Fenning, few
DAYS ago, said that he could see
no reason why the regulation would
not be adopted, and said that he
had made clear his position in the
matter of aIl-night parking.
Public opinion has been decidedly
against adoption of the rule and
Congressional weight has been
added to the arguments against
