NATURAL WONDERS

CUSTER, S. d., June 15.-Pres-
ident Coolidge on his vacation will
come not into a country bleak and
barren, as the name of the ada
cent Bad Lands may suggest, bui
into country rich in natural
beauty. Rich it is. too, in tradi-
tion.
For the quiet-mannered Vef.
monter viii be Invading the home
land of General Custer. Wild Bill
Hickok. Calamity Jane, Deadwood
Dick and the Sioux Indians. West
and south are the scenes of the
Custer massacre, and a more ter
rible and less known event, the
massacre of Wounded Knee.
About are the vestiges of the
old frontier, where red man and
white paid with their blood for
temporary occupancy of the coun-
try.
The President will probably
meet face to face sons of the
Sioux who participated in the
Custer massacre, now friendly
souls, with little thought of shoot
ing or tomahawking a white man
unless the latter sells him oil
stock or runs him down with his
fliyyer There is less chance of
him. meeting descendants of the
Wounded Knee massacre.
Indians Disarmed
Shortly after the Custer mas.
sacre it was decided to round up
and disarm the Indians. Four
hundred men, women and children
were gathered on the banks of
the Wounded Knee Creek. During
the proceeding one Indian fired
his rifle. Soldiers, prompted either
by fear or seeking revenge for
the Custer affair. opened fire.
Thousands of rounds were poured
into the Indian camp. A few at.
tempted to escape. These-men,
women and children-were ru
down and slaughtered. Three days
later. after a blizzard, the soldiers
decided to bring in the wounded.
Every man, woman and child
was dead. Four babies, protected
from the cold by the clothes and
bodies of their dead mothers, i!y-
ed. That was all.
Coolidge may, if he wishes, see
the grave of Calamity Jane, gun
woman and proprietor of frontier
dance hall, famed in fiction and
in real life. There are relics OF

made to send a hydro-airplane to
the region. Searching parties
from st. Germain have already
started into the region where the

BOARD WARS ON
RIVER POLLUTION
Indiana Health Body Drives
to Clean Streams.

Health department plans to elimi-
nate stream pollution in Indiana
were announced today by l.. S.
Finch. chief engineer, upon return
from conference Of public health en-
gineers of the Ohio River basin at
Columbus. Ohio. A program for
cleaning all streams that run into
the Ohio was outlined.
Chief topic of discussion, Finch
said, was elimination of industrial
wastes from by-product coke ovens,
known as phenol. This waste Is of
such character that a medicinal
taste is given to the water, he said.
In Indiana it is found mostly in the
Calumet region.
Manufacturers are cooperating
with health authorities to overcome
the difficulty. by operation Of a
duenching system for cooling coke
upon closed-system basis and thus
keep streams from being phenol-
laden. The health board plans to
introduce this system in all Indiana
reflneries.
In southern Indiana greatest pol.
luton is dairy and Gamers waste
and efforts are also being made to
eliminate this by incarceration and
other methods.

PREP ARE Veto ON
PLEBISCITE BILL
F OR PHILIPPINES
Coolidge Says Islands
Not Advanced Enough

WASHINGTON, Feb. president
Coolidge is preparing to veto the
plebiscite bill passed by the legisla-
ture of the Philippines over the veto
Of Governor General Wood.
The proposed plebiscite would set
tie the question, always posed by
imperiahst apologists in the islands
end in America, as to whether the
Filipinos themselves wish indepen-
dence. 1t would have no other effect.
The bitter opposition Of General
Wood and of the Washington admin
stration to this simple test, is taken
by all neutrality-suspicious. groups as
proof that Wood and Coolidge know
that the Fihpinos do want lndepen-
dence, but that it is not wise to let
them show their desires in such a
public way as the plebiscite contem-
plates.
mot Convinced
Coolidge stands on his letter to
Speaker Royas, sent two years ago.
de has caused to be issued a state-
raent that he is not convinced that
the Filipino people 'have made suffi-
cient STRIDES in self-government to
enable them to carry on as an indie
pendent nation" He believes, it is
said, "that ultimate liberty has been
pledged them, but that the guiding
hand of the United States must be
used for years to lead them through
the arts of sef-government, educa-
ton, sanitation and kindred necessi-
ties" Left to their own resources,
they might become the prey of jeal-
Gus nations, he is said to feel. Nor
would their commerce and business
provide them with the funds suffi-
cient for self-sustaining country.
He is said to be pleased with what
he regards as the remarkable prog
ress which the Filipinos have made
since their dominion by Spain was
ended, but considers it not sufficient.
Real Reasons Not Told.
The president does not mention the
increasing investment of American
capital in the Philippines, the exploit
tation there of cheap native labor by
that capital, the laying out of rubber
plantations, nor the importance of the
Manila naval base in a campaign
against China, as reasons for deny
ing the Islands their promised indie
pendence, but these factors are
known to influence the government.
