RUSH OF VETERANS
FOR BONUS SHR|NKS
800 Clerks Added, 500 Au-
thorized for Field Work to
Push Mailing of Checks.

There WAS a sharp falling of in the
line of men at the Veterans Bureau
for bonus loans this morning. Only a
bare handful awaited the opening of
the office, and Immediately went inside
to file their applications.
Meantime, both Gen. Frank T. Hines.
administrator of veterans affairs, and
Col. George E. Ijams. director of the
Veterans Bureau, warned veterans that
1t was not only unnecessary, but dan
gerous to health to stand in line during
the cold weather. There were two long
lines yesterday.
The business of turning out checks
was Speeded up by addition of a night
force, which started the lights burn
ing for the first time last night at the
big bureau. Two shifts of $50 clerk
typists each now are busy on computing
the loans and turning out checks for
mailing. Not only has a new force Of
500 additional clerks been added, to be
split into half day and half night
forces, but total of 500 clerks have
been authorized for the field Expert
enced clerks are working with the new
Corners.
Increased Speed Shown.
Figures on yesterdays work show In
creased speed on loans. A total Of 1904
applications came In yesterday, and
2,195 checks, amounting to $685., 155,
were dropped into the mails, many of
them for veterans in Washington and
nearby vicinity.
Out Of all the 6,004 applications yes
terday, only 112 were new borrowers
making their first loans on their adj
justed service certificates. This con-
tinued the small proportion of new
loans which was evident from the be-
ginning Of the rush last Friday after
noon Immediately after President Hoover
signed the bill making 1t law.
$4,000 Daily Goal.
At the White House today Gen. Hines
reported to President Hoover that all
together about 10000 applications for
loans were being handled each day and
that the bureau expected to increase
the daily total to $4,000 soon.
Gen. Hines said he expected favor
able action today or tomorrow from
the Federal Reserve Board on his plea
that they take care of applications for
loans made at great distance from Vet
Grams Bureau regional Offices.
The bureau has sent $20,000,000 to
regional Offices. Gen. Hines estimated
$1,000, 900 already has been loaned.
In addition the Washington ONCE has
$40, 000,0 available and is sending
out around $500 checks day.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT TIE NATIONAL
 CAPITAL. WASH.

Secretary of the Interior Wi bur announced his approval cl titc a~ port of the committee that inv s tigated the reindeer cDnd,. .olS II Alaska. This committee was com posed of Senator Kendrick, Repre- sentative Leavitt and Assistant Attorney General Sisson. The Secretary also stated that he was in full accord with the recom- mendationS made in supplement- al report by Ernest Walker Saw yer, and the new Reindeer Council was requested to put them into effect as early as possible.
 The. committee recommends the establishment in Alaska of Rein deer Council of five members, with authority to administer the in- dustry. The Council is to be con- stituted as follows: The Governor of Alaska, Geo. A. Parks; Chief ot the Alaska Division of the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs, Chas. w. Hawksworth: the Superintendent of Reindeer in Alaska, B. A. Mo- zee: a representative chosen by and from the Eskimo reindeer owners, and a representative of the Lomen interests.
 The Reindeer Council is author ized to establish range rules, with the hope of bringing order out of the present chaos. A further great need of the situation is to aid in the marketing of reindeer prod ucts, and the Council will have the authority to set such prices for deer as it considers equitable but the Eskimo owner himself can accept or reject the price. The Council will appoint a Reindeer Superintendent to be paid by the government, for each of the five important districts. These super intendents will have the authority to actually administer the range and the future of the industry will largely depend on them.
 A great roundup of the rein deer throughout the Seward Penin- sula will be held at the earliest
 possible date, at which time the

 MT. Walkers recommendations, which Secretary Wilbur has dl- rected should be put into effect include the suggestion that for the first meeting the Eskimo have two members of the Council, each with one-half vote, to be selected by the natives and to come from the Teller and Buckland districts, and that their travelling expenses should be arranged for. Also that each district should be organized to cooperate with the Herd Man ager in planning the roundupS, drives to the slaughter pens and in other activities. Further, that each n native man, woman and child of a district should have a minimum of ten female deer, which can be credited from nav ericks at the first roundup. Also, that where there are no conflicts as to range claims the leases should be issued as soon as poS- sible, and where questions of equity are involved great care and diligence should be exercised to obtain a fair and equitable so- lution.

81 Times Special
GREENCASTLE, Ind, July IL
Women can learn better than men;
college seniors are more intelligent
than freshmen, and students who
live in dormitories do better work
than those who live in fraternity
houses or off the campus. These de-
auctions are made from the second
semester scholarship report of De
Paw university made today by Miss
Vera Worth, registrar.
The report shows seniors leading
by a substantial margin with the
Juniors, sophomores and freshmen
in the order named. No little part
of the senior standing was due to
the senior co-eds who lacked but
.001 Of point of making a straight
B" average, which is unusual. In
each class the women students
showed superiority over men.
The report by residences shows
that the dormitory students were
better in grades than those living in
fraternity houses, who placed second.
Local residents were third and off,
campus houses fourth. De Paw has
five university dormitories, fourteen
national fraternitieS and ten ma
tional sororities.
The sorority report shows Delta
zeta again in the lead with Alpha
Chi Omega second Both placed
higher than any of the fraternities.
Delta zeta held first place in the
first semester's report. The others
finished in the following order:
Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta,
Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Omicron
Pi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi
Omega Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta and
Kappa Data.
Beta Theta Pi wrested first place
from Commons Club among the
fraternities race, Commons Club
second. The other fraterni-
ties finished in the following order:
Lambda Chi Alpha, Delta Chi, Delta
Kappa Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta,
Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Tau Omega,
Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta,
Delta Epsilon, Sigma M, Sigma Chi
and Theta Kappa MI.
All Sororities ranked higher than
the all-university average while only
seven Of the fraternities were above
that mark which is taken as zero.
At only one point did men out-rank
goods, fraternity pledges being
slightly higher than sorority pledges.

JUDGE ANCERED
BY DRY RAIDERS
AT EVANSVILLE
Officers Accused of Filing
Gambling Cases to Mask
Liquor Searches.

81 Times Special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 11.-Cir-
cult Judge Spencer of Vanderburg
county declares some police officers
and sheriff's deputies will be prose-
cuted at his instigation if he finds
evidence that warrants issued on
gambling afldavits are being used
in liquor raids.
Several attorneys charge that Ray
st. Clair and Robert Hawkins, police
officers, usually accompanied by
Deputy Sheriffs Goodge and Collier,
make the raids.
In a few instances slot machines
have been seized, but liquor is ap-
parently the main objective of the
raids made with such warrants.
Government Gets Cases
After arrests are made, the pris-
oners are not booked on gambling
charges, but as United States fugi-
tives, and liquor charges are fled
against them in federal court.
They couldn't make case in my
court on those gambling warrants"
Judge Spencer asserts, adding that
the Michigan supreme court has
held such tactics illegal.
IF I find out definitely that Off
GERS here are committing perjury, I
will prosecute them" the judge
warned.
Charges Perjury
Attorney w. D. Hardy, who says
he has investigated the system, as
serts that persons signing gambling
aff1davits for the purpose of con-
Quoting liquor raids commit perjury.
ut is simply trick to avoid the
limitations of the state and federal
Constitutions" the attorney said.
Discussing the situation, Attorney
Charles M. Lafollette, said:
"The federal prohibition depart
ment would not permit such tactics
on their part. They can't search
private residence unless they have
evidence Of sale or manufacture.
Decisions have been made by federal
courts that even when federal off,
GERS accompany other officers on
raids made on such aff1davits as
these, the evidence is thrown out"
