the government not having pro-
vided any.
Third, that the agents are pre-
venting them from holding their
religious ceremonies, which they
believe can be demonstrated as
harmless and unoffensive in all
respects.
Fourth, that the agents have
promised to hold councils with
the Indians at which their diff
culties were to be discussed but
that the agents have continually
refused to conduct the proposed
councils
The men who visited DIR. Cum
mings were Edwin Kawankumpte,
from BakOshiebOk0; Frank Stamp
twa, chief of MOwenkOpi, and
Monroe Fredericks, of Oravi. the

Kawankumpte also asserted
that trading post which he
maintained on his mail route
between Tuba City and Kaycnts
is being taken away from him by
the agents because he is getting
trade which would otherwise go
to posts owned by white men.

ury views regarding the revenue that
would be obtained from the estate tax
in 1929, and Representative Garner Of
Texas, ranking democrat on the COM
mittee, said since 1923 estimates re-
earding prospective SURPRISES had been
too low. Garner submitted a table of
estimates and actual SURPRISES as fol-
lows:
Estimate for 1924, 1929 100000; ac-
tual surplus $5050O,OOO; for 1925, SGT,
100000 and $25O,OOO,O00; for 1926,
$262OOO,OOO and $377,OO0,000. for 1927,
$283, OOO,0 900 and $635,000,000.
In addition, Garner said that last
December an estimate of $200,000,0 900
was made for the current fiscal year
surplus and that the treasury had not
placed it at $455, 100000.
I'm view of the fact that for five
years the president has underestimate
in budget recommendation" Garner
said, don't you think congress at
least must come to the conclusion that
methods used in estimating a surplus
are either inefficient or inaccurate?'
Mr.. Mills replied the treasury had
endeavored to explain how unexpected
revenue for war time obligations, the
collection of back taxes and recelptS
from other homecoming sources mad
boosted treasury figures.
After the meeting today, Chairman
Green said reiteration by the treasury
of it's recommendation for repeal OF
the estate tax had not changed his
position to such action, while Mr.
Garner predicted that despite the linn
ting figure of $225,0OO,OO0, congress
ultimately would pass a tax bill call
ing for a reduction at least $1OO,OOO'OOO
more than that.

these profits, and that part of them
went to Albert B. Fall, former secre-

had turned over to Sinclair the lease

More details about the Humphrey
Continental contract will be sought
tomorrow when government counsel
call to the witness stand Beman G.
Dawes, president of the Pure Oil
company of Ohio, and brother of
Vice President Dawes, and A. E.
Humphrey, Jr, son of the late Den

Former Senator Charles S. Thomas
of Colorado, testified today that
Dawes, whose company held a fourth
interest in the Humphreys concerns
was present when the Continental
contract was drawn up in the Van
derbilt hotel in New York City. Young
Humphreys was in New York with
/ his father when the conferences for
the sale of the oil began.
Roberts also disclosed today that be-

jury the government has made diligent
but unavailing efforts to bring back
to America O'Neil and Henry M. Black
mer, former chairman of the board

who also were present at the Wander
bilt hotel conference.
Phillips, who heads the Sinclair
Purchasing company, was the prir-
cipal witness of the day. He was able
| to give some details about the pur-
chase by his company of the Con-
tinental contract, but he remembered
| SO little as to others that the COM
bined efforts of Roberts and Justice
| Siddons failed to refresh his recollec-
ton.
He said no one directed" him tc
purchase the Continental contract;
that he understood" from some source
he could not recall that the contract
was for sale, and he telegraphed II. .
Osler, one-time president OF the Con-
tinental company, to meet him IN New
York and talk it over.
Government counsel finally drew
from him the information that Osler
showed up with contract all ready
for signature. Phillips insisted that
some changes we're made in the orig
inal, but conceded after examining the
contract with Roberts that the only
alteration he could find was the cor
rection of a typographical error.

INDIAN DANCE
WILL FEATURE
ANNUAL SHOW

An Indian dance with costumes,
camp fires and tom toms Will be
one of the greatest acts ever staged
in the annual competitive vaudeville
which will be shown at the Grand
theater on October 8 for the tourtn
successive year.
This dance is to be staged by the
students of the Pirtleville schools, dl-
rected by Miss Conception Faras ana
is heralded by critics who have seen
the rehearsals as one OF the most
unusual and artistic productions
imaginable.
The competitive vaudeville Is staged
annually by the Business and Pro-
fessional Wornens club for the pur-
pose of raising funds for their edu-
cational program, which is 'ne send
ing of deserving girls to schools and
teachers colleges.
Various clubs and organizations of
the city prepare acts for the snow
and this year there will be at least
eight acts and there is every pos
sibilfty that there will be ten. NO
two acts are anything alike. No two
have the same characters and no two
may be judged by the same set OF
standards.
They are all good and all interest
ing in their way and in past seasons
this show has proved to be one Of
the great hits Of the year. This year
the talent has shown unusual interest
in getting up acts and the bringing
in of the Pirtleville school with the
fantastic Indian dance ceremonial is
considered GROWING stroke.

And fire and sword shall sweep tne

Discussing Surtax rates, the seqre-
tary recalled the revenue act of 1925
benefited small and larger taxpayers
somewhat more than those whose
taxable incomes run from $4,000 to
$4,000 In view of that he advocated
revision of surtax rates in the
intermediate brackets which would
in effect reduce taxes on incomes
between $4,000 and 100000.
"By the simple eXpedient of adj
! justing the rate so that it will rise
uniformly, increasing l per cent for
each additional $4,000 of income, on
incomes from $4,000 to $4,000" he

WOLF TRAPPING IN
 NORTHERN CANADA
BOUNTY RAISED FROM S2O TO $50; e64 KILLED LAST JANU-
 ARY

1 Wolves are notoriously the most difficult of all animals to kill or cap- ture and for this reason they are very seldom hunted or trapped ex- cept some special inducement is ot- fered such as a bounty.
 The Canadian government is now giving special attention to the eradi- cation of wolves to the caribou herds which are the main dependence of Indians and Eskimos as we'll as many white trappers and settlers for food and clothing
 The Canadian Dominion govern ment in 1915 offered bounty of $2O per head for each wolf killed in the northwest territory, the skin to re- main the property of the trapper or hunter. This bounty, however, did not seem to be sufficient inducement to trappers as the number killed did not materially increase, whereupon the bounty was increased to s3O ou condition that the pelt be surrender ed to the Department This seems to have given a greater impetus to the wolf eXterminatiOn campaign as many more are now being destroyed In January of this year 946 wolf belts were sold by the Canadian gov ernment for $13,S61.
 Alaska is seeking for the control of wolves and other predatory spec ies by government hunters similar to the methods pursued by the Federal government in the western states. The Canadian government has pur- sued wolf eradication campaigns to some extent in this manner, one ex- petition of 1923, east of Great Slave Lake having accounted for 32O wolves.
