INCIDENT CAUSES COMMENT.
Diplomatic Significance Is Not At
tached 10 YriSOyen Refusal.

Failure of Hipolito Yrigoyen, President
of Argentina, to participate with Presi-
dent Hoover and the Presidents of
Chile and Uruguay in ceremonies at
tending the Inauguration OF a trans
continent telephone service occasioned
comment in official circles in Washing
ton today. but at the State Department
1t was said that no diplomatic signifi-
canoe was attached to the incident.
Officials added that it was understood
that cold and a sore throat made it
inadvisable for President Yrigoyen to

the proposed tariff on wheat and in
creased duties on flaxseed, opposition
to which has been expressed in the
Argentine, did not figure in the affair.

 permitted destruction of much timber by a beetle pest. This was discovered as far back as
 1918, and there has never been
 any effort to subdue this pest. It has resulted in the loss of 45O,-
 92O,OOO feet in five years" he said.
 Several Indians described a
 vast irrigation project, foisted
 On the Indians despite their pro- ,test, which was supposed to ir-
 rtgate 5000 acres of land but f
 irrigating less than 400. The
 system is defective; it lacks
 drainage canals; hence the wa

 project, built wholly out of In dian tribal money, serves lands
 owned entirely by whites. The
 white people are to repay the l Klamath Indians at 85 cents an
 acre over a period of 20 years. Good business for the whites! Put for the Indians it means the lending of money-$25, ,0OO- without interest for 20 years
 Thomas Lang described. next. how he repeatedly examined
 trains of logs being removed from the reservation to the saw mills, and found in every bunch q logs four or five big logs that led not been scaled. Meaning that the Indians would get noth- ing for that timber. Lang hur- cied With his information to the superintendent, urging him to
 investigate.
 Those are reliable companies,
 and they would do nothing like that" was his evasive reply. Finally Wade Crawford, a col lege- trained man and chairman of the business committee of the council, stated on the witness stand some of the injustices he
 and his wife had told me in their home a few months before. He told of the building of an un-
 V anted, unnecessary hospital from tribal funds against the rrOtest of the tribe. He cited the building of unnecessary roads at Indian expense. He complained of the total lack of any law en- forcement on the reservation, all though the Klamath Indians are l annually paying S4,5O0 for law
 enforcement.
 At last he pointed to the extra vagant, steadily increasing amount taken from their estate every year merely to administer tlreir agency. To administer the affairs of a little group of some twelve hundred Indians! He de- clared it was impossible to ob- tain from the local superintend- ent or from the Indian Bureau at Washington two estimates that agreed showing how the enor- nous sum appropriated from their tribal funds for agency ex- penses was used.
 Tn 1922" said Crawford, they took $75,O00 of our tribal funds to administer the agency; in 1923,
 they took s75,oOO; in 1924, $100,- eco; in 1925, S11O,OOO; in 1926,
