BUFFALO, N. Y, April 7 (NA.NA)
Good government for about 40 years
The elected officers of the Seneca Ma
ton were mindful of their civic duties
and tended we'll the affairs of the
nation About 1880 there arose q
powerful political party under the con-
troll of two Indians, one on each Seneca
reservation.
Previous to this several tracts of
land had been leased to the white
people for towns on the Allegheny res
ervation. Redhouse, Carroltown and
the city of Salamanca. The leases were
for - years. AS the time approached
to renew the leases. Citizens Com
mittee was organized among the white
lease holders to get a longer-term lease.
Council was called. A 25-year lease
was long enough, said the Indians, for
values change. So the Citizens Com
mittee went to work. In a private
room, over a saloon and directly con-
nected with it. sessions were held tor
more than three weeks, in the Me
Building Salamanca.
Leases Renewed Wholesale.
Firewater flowed freely. officials
were entertained royalty. No expense
was spared.
Money to finance the affair was
raised by subscription among the white
citizens. The two Indian leaders were
well rewarded. Councillors who would
not agree were ousted, and agreeable
ones substituted. Once more firewater
talked loudly. Leases were renewed in
wholesale manner for SO years at pitt
ably small rentals.
At that time all the revenue from
such sources was paid directly into the
treasury of the Seneca nation. A small
part of it found its way to the Indians
generally With the power OF ready
money, it was not difficult for this
party to remain in office. A lot OF fire
water and a little money went a long
way at election time. Although the
passage of the Ryan act served to curb
some of this waste of public money,

ny the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, April S.-Radio waves
which travel skyward are turned back
TO earth by two rejecting layers or
regions rather than one, scientists now
believe.
This theory is based on a series of
tests conducted by J. P. Schafer and
W. M Goodall of Deal, N j., who de-
scribed the outcome in a paper de-
livered before the twentieth annual con-
Vention of the Institute of Radio En-
gineers
Many Miles Apart.
The rejecting region, named the
xennelly- -Heaviside layer, after its dis
ceverers, consists of ioniZed particles
which are believed to reflect or bend
radio waves. One layer, Schafer and
Goodall explained, is found at height
of approximately 81 miles and the
other at a height of between 125 and
Iee miles. In addition, they said there
may be an absorbing region below the
lower layer.
Heretofore, scientists have held that
the height Of the Heaviside layer varied
from so to 200 miles, being in one Sec
ton. Sehafer and Goodall 60 a step
further and define the layer as in two
sections, although they say that when
the layers are greatly disturbed during
magnetic storms there doesn't seem to
be any distinct separation between
them.
Other Papers Presented.
The tests were made with the use
OF a cathode ray oscillograph tube
which gave a visual indication of the
action Of reflected signals.
In another paper, J. H. Delliner and
Z. L. Hall of the Bureau of Standards,
Washington, D. c., described the means
used to measure radio waves and thus
