Chief Leading Eagle
Makes Peace Talk
To Sioux Warriors

could not be found in sentimental

ment was attempting to understand
the Indian problem, he said, and try
ing to follow policy which would

porting citizens.
He declared that an underlying diff
ficulty was caused by the Indians
inability to- adjust himself to goth
century conditions, since these often
are alien to his racial characteristics
and tribal states of mind. Many, he
added, have succeeded in overcoming
this barrier, but a great portion.
mostly the elders, continue to cling
stoically to old customs.
"They wish to live and die accord
ing to the traditional ways of tine
Indians" Mr.. Coolidge said.
The president pointed to the thous-
ands of red men who were educated
and thoroughly civilized, some with
high positions in business, the profess
sions, arts and sciences but added
that there was ga considerable portion
so little advanced that they can
speak but few words of English"
Citing some Of the numerous orders,
treaties, laws, decisions and so on
which concern Indians, the president
declared that these, running counter
to tribal customs, often resulted in
injustice to the race they were in
tended to benefit, and added:
''These few citations should be suf-
ficient to indicate the manifold COM
OF
lem and to convey the suggestion that
it's practical solution cannot be af
fected by appeals TO sentimentality,
by loose talk, by i'll considered ex-
PLANTATION, by hysterical campaigns, or
by the insistence of those in charge
of Indian affairs that their policies
and methods are always the only
right ones
In paying tribute to the Indians
part in the World war, Mr. Coolidge
recalled how one of a group of old
warriors had placed his war bonnet
on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
in Washington after his entombment.
'"This was not an idle gesture .
said the president. 'It symbolized
the outstanding fact that the red
men and their neighbors had been
brought together as one people and
that never again would there be
hostility between the two races. AS
one of those warriors said, Who
knows but that this undown soldier
was an Indian Boy"
The president was accompanied to
Pine Ridge by Mrs Coolidge and
their son, John, who doubtlessly never
had seen sights like he saw today.
In the party, also, were Senator and
Mrs. Norbeck, Senator and Mrs. Nc
Master and Representative and Mrs.
Williamson, all of South Dakota
Charles H. Burke, commissioner OF
Indian affairs, awaited them at Pine
Ridge.
Shortly after the Indians paraded
before him in full regalia and then,
as the tom toms let out a slow, dreary
Indian tune, several hundred chiefs
and braves stepped into the fantastic
snake dance The tom toms sounded
louder and their thump thumps came
faster as the dance swept up to it's
climax, accompanied by savage yells

ARIZONA LEAVE
FOR RIVER MEET
Seven States Conference
Will EndeavOr to AllO-
cate Waters.

PHOENIX, Aug. II up - Arizona's
Colorado river commission left today
in various groups and by as many
routes for Denver, where a prelimin-
ary conference will be held Friday
with CALIFORNIA; river commission, to
be followed next Monday by general
assembly of representatives from the
seven states of the upper and lower
Colorado river basin.
No formal statement was made by
the commission as a body and indivld-
ual members were reticent of pre-
dictions, even in private conversation.
At their last meeting with the Cali
fornia commission, they said, held here
August As, they found disposition
to concede some points, but it was i'm
possible to estimate how far that dis
position would extend.
The purpose of the general assem-
bly is to arrive at some understand
ing over a division of water between
the states of the upper and lower
basin, and more particularly between
Arizona and California. Any agree
ment reached would have to be rati-
fled by the legislatures of the states
affected, calleG into special session in
order to take action before congress
takes up the SWing-Johnson bill, en-
bodying California2s program, next De-
cember.
Governor Hunt, chairman of the
Arizona commission, left this after
noon by automobile. He expected to
spend the night at Ashfork.

NEW YORK TO ROME FLIGHT is
HALTED BY FAULTY BEARINGS

Hearst, its financial backer, said
the discovery was prOvidential.
An attempted hop with the plane
heavily loaded for the flight
might have resulted in crash,
he said, since the bearing would
have heated and janmed.
While the repairing of the wheel
was expected to take only a few
hours, the flight was called Off
definitely for today, since the
fliers plan to set out in the early
evening so as to have the ad-
vantage of daylight for the land
ing at Rome.
The faulty bearing was dis
covered as the plane was being
prepared for a flight to make a
final test of the radio. Bertaud
had announced that if the radio
functiOned satisfactorily, the big
FOkker mOnOplane would be
brought down at Roosevelt field
and fnelled for a take off at 6

PINE RIDGE, S. D., Aug. II aR--
Chief Leading Eagle, the ruler Of
the Sioux, visited his people of the
Pine Ridge reservation today but in
his better known role of president
of the United States brought them
the word that the government is
attempting sympathetically to solve
their problems.
To the thousands of Indians who
flocked from all corners of this re-
mote reservation in an unorganized
county of southwestern South Dakota,
President Coolidge was their big chief
and as he stood by looking at this
program of war dances and games
which they displayed to him, tons
toms beat out the deep, solemn tones
Of the tribal welcome.

president to speak especially to the

Their Territory.
ASK SHOW DOWN
DIR. WI, Minister of For
eign Affairs, Adopts Bel
ligerent Attitude.

SHANGHAI, Aug. II R)-Tn the
anidst of an increasing choas in both
the military and political situations
in the Yangtse valley, an incident
arising out of the forced landing OF
a British military plane on Chinese
territory Yesterday has developed a
tense situation between the Chinese
authorities and the British expedltlon-
ary force here.
The plane landed yesterday on the
Kiangwan golf course, which lies OUT
side Of the International settlement OF
Shanghai A British air force detach-
ment carted away all the parts OF the
plane except the wings. These the
Chinese troops seized later and when
they refused to heed the British de-
mand for their return, Major General
John Duncan, the British commander,
ordered the railway between Shanghai,
HangchoW and Ningpo to be cut south
of Soochow creek and the British
troops were posted at strategic points
around the city The British thus
reoccupied the posts held by them
during the trouble several months ago
which followed the capture of Shang-
hal by the nationalists
The American marines in Shanghai
were confined to their quarters tonight
in preparation for any possible emer-
gency as a result of this British
Chinese incident.
The semi tfficial Chinese Kuon1in
News agency stated that the British
"Ultimatum'' for the return of the
wings did not dismay Chinese officials
and that suitable measures would be
taken to uphold Chinese rights.
The posting of the British troops
has directed attention again to the
general military situation which is
looked on in foreign circles as charged
with unpleasant possibilities in view
of reports that the northern Chinese
forces had captured Pukow and this
afternoon were bonabarding Marking
across the Yangtse. British subjects
were being evacuated from Nanking
to British war vessels.
Shanghai continues to be the rich
est prize for military capture and with
the retirement of General Chang
Kai-Shek, various nationalist leaders
are attempting to gain control. There
are approximately 5000 troops in the
Shanghai district split among four
generals. Various units are reported
to be fighting for precedence in reach
ing Shanghai and dissension and jeal-
ousy are stated to be rife among the
leaders. Considerable concern is de-
veloping among the foreign popula-
ton regarding possible developments.

LULU, Aug. IL R)--TnspectiOn of
the WoOIarOc's tanks revealed the
plane had between hundred and
one hundred fifty gallons of gasO-
line remaining after completion of
the flight. AviatOrs at the field
here expressed the opinion that
this was enough for seven hours
more flying.
A false report that plane had
crashed at KOokOhead was caused
by commercial airplane taking a

Miss Doran and Golden
Eagle Planes Believed
Forced Down.
HOPES ARE HELD
Both Missing AirpIanes
Equipped With Life Saw
ing Apparatus.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II QR-
That Miss Mildred DOran, pretty
Michigan school teacher, was
floating about the Pacific ocean on
her bipIane with two aViatOrs, was
the belief expressed tonight by
Lieutenant Ben III. Wyatt, navi-
CATION inspector for the Dole
flight.
Lieutenant Wyatt revealed that
he had warned PedIar against
taking the Miss DOran on the
flight after it had been forced
back from its first take off by
engine trouble.
cit is unfortunate that Miss
DOran attempted the flight, but
since she was determined to 60
nothing could be done TO, prevent
it," said Wyatt. II am Of the
opinion that the plane was forced
down by motor trouble. PedIar,
the pilot, on his return to the
field, was. warned against taking
off again, since did not believe
the changing Of spark plugs would
rectify the motor trouble which
forced him back.
II believe he experienced the
same motor trouble that forced
the mOnopIane Oklahoma out or
the race. 1 am Of the opinion
that the plane was forced down
by motor trouble. It is probable
that the plane would remain
afloat "a hours IL the sea were
not too rough. 1t was equipped
TO Immediately release the gasO-
line from the tanks and use them
for flOtatiOn."
