CHILDREN GIVEN
PLACE ON ROLL

The action of the District Su-
preme Court in dismissing a petition
for a writ Of mandamus against
Roy A. West, Secretary of the In
terror, to compel him to place upon
the rolls of the Chippewa Nation,
of Minnesota. the names of four
children of Chippewa woman who
had married a naturalized citizen
of the United States, was reversed
by the Court of Appeals today.
q The woman married Mall Kedrie,
Syrian, in 1909. They lived in
Canada and Syria and during their
sojourn in other countries, several
of their children were born. The
names of three of the children were
stricken from the rolls before the
fourth was born.
The court today held that 1t is i'm.
material where the children we're
born so long as their mother re-
tanned her American citizenship and
ordered that the names of the three
older children be replaced on the
rolls and that the youngest. which
had never been on the rolls, be
placed among his brothers.
The court further directs that the
children be paid their per capita
share in all future money payments
that may be hereafter made from
the Nations funds now in the hands
of the Treasury of the United States.

Bubble Blowing Soap
Found Explosive
Substance

Soap dust, the Department OF
Commerce has found, when su.
spended in the air. "is a highly
explosive substance, capable under
certain conditions of causing a
serious explosion.
Tests conducted at the Pitts
burgh experiment station Of the
United States Bureau of Mines
with soap dust in suspension pro-
duced even more violent explosions
than were attained with dry coal
dust, which, as is generally known,
has been responsible for many
violent coal mine explosions" it
was explained. THE explosive
hazard of coal dust is, OF course.
a serious factor only in the case
of suspension OF considerable
amounts in air, such as might
occur in the process of manu-
facture. Presence of this widely
used cleansing medium in the
family washing machine carries
no hazard whatever"

NEW K|NK IN
WILLFIGHT

GREENWICH, Conn, Feb. 4
U.N.S).-A new and intriguing fac
tor-oil proxies--was injected today
in the bitter legal battle over the
100000 fortune left by Mrs. Mar
garet Huntington Gowen Mccarthy,
Standard Oil heiress.
Attorneys for the young and sud
denly wealthy DIR. James S. Me-
Carthy, who was left the bulk of
his middle-aged wife's estate, charged
that the attempt to set aside the
will is a skirmish in the financial
war John ID. Rockefeller, jr., is
waging to oust Col. Robert w.
Stewart from control of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana.
Want Proxies
Attorney William L. Tierney, a
former judge, was quoted as saying
that the Cleveland interests who are
protesting the will want the proxies
of the estates holdings in Standard
Oil of Indiana voted for the Stewart
side just as they have been voted
for years"
Tierney intimated that the young
doctor intends to use the proxies
to help the cause of the Rookie
fellers.
1t is said that Tierney, one Of
the executors of the will in con-
test win take the stand when the
case is resumed Wednesday in pro-
bate court and testify that the testa-
ment was arranged by Mrs. Nc
Carthy six days before her death,
January IL.
Cut Off Daughter

alumnus Of Yale, and cut off her

will. alleged Mrs. Mccarthy signed
it 4S hours before pneumonia ended
her life.
Tierney is said to be prepared to
testify that Mrs. Mccarthy walked
into his office on January 5, before
the fatal Illness sent her to her
death bed, and arranged for her
fifth and final will In business
like manner. He will also declare.
it was said. that the reason for the
fifth will was that Mrs. Mccarthy
had inherited only last December a
block of $1,000 900 Indiana Oil stock
through the demise Of her mother.
Backed Stewart
This block of stock, 1t is claimed,
was transferred from Cleveland to
New York only last January 3.
Mrs. McCarthy's mother sided
with Colonel Stewart, it was said,
and DIR. Mccarthy, who has become
a millionaire as a result of the will,
is pictured as in sympathy with the
Rockefellers in the big oil fight
that is to culminate in a ''show
down" Of the proxies at a meeting
of stockholders in Whiting, Ind.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--The larg.
est shrinkage in Federal Re-
serve credit in any comparable
period since the beginning OF the
year indicates that the banking
house is being placed in order.
The great increase in bank
credit in December was ascribable
primarily to temporary season
factors-particularly to the with.
drawal temporarily of funds from
the call loan market by the boot
leg lenders, which for the time
needed funds for their own pur-
poses--partly to dress up their
own financial statements and to
meet dividend and interest re-
quirements.
Fairly Strong
David Friday, the economist.
takes the sanguine view that the
expanding use Of Federal Re-
serve credit, which started in the
autumn OIL IJ1ts - ONSA dl tSoAN7S
for the time being. Writing
In the Evening Post, he OBJ.

ratio and with no evidence OF

"The outlook is for a fairly

before the end OF the year, but
the increase will take place in

law lenders.)
'sThe total of all leans by banks

than it stood three years ago. The
loans by New York banks were

Or. Friday believes they will in

be useful in taking the strain

Still Active
London was the undisputed fl
nancial capital of the world be-
fore the war. Now it shares lead.
ership with New York. Funda-
mental conditions make New York
the leading centre for long term
capital, but London is still most
active in extending short-tern
credit to exporters and importers
of many customers. The question
arises whether it is good financial
leadership abroad while industry
at home languisnes. The banks
make good commissions, it is true,
but unemployment and depression
at home continue.

Kip Enjoys Browsing Round Points
of Interest in New Home State

Jim Shea and Pat Mclaughlin, by

in the least suspected.
Rhinelander got an immense
kick" out of his look intot he inner
workings of a Nevada boom camp
and mine, and picked up samples
of high grade to take with him as
keepsakes. He confessed fascina-
ton not only with the mining and
the activities he has seen in Ne
vada, but with the silent desert, and
the beauties of the mountain en-
vironment in which he has spent SC
much of his time since he came
here in February to avoid harass-
ment by newspapermen and photog-
rapherS.
The young man has had many
trips to the dam site. and to points
of interest around Clark county. all
of which were made with his iGen-
tity unknown, except to a few.
Charlie Ross, of the Nevada hotel
who had seen Rhinelander several
times in New York, and who conse-
quently knew him here since Febru-
ary, faithfully kept the secret for
him, as did Mrs. John F. Miller,
who also recognized him, and many

said Harmon, "and Las Vegas no
doubt is going to be proud to have
him as a citizen"
