FORTUNE
White Widow of Eccentric
Brave To Continue Fight

By ARTHUR N. SUVERKRUP
WOOD, May 30


WOOD. May 30
G.NSO.-Although Jackson Bar
nett has gone to the Happy
Hunting Ground, where all good
Indians ride tireless mustangs
across the limitless praries of
Heaven, court battles over the
wealth of the aged Creek who
became the worlds most pub
licized Indian win 60 on.
Anna Laura Lowe Barnett, the
white woman who married him
IA years ago and transformed
him from an overalled brave iv-
ing in squalor to carefully
groomed resident of a Hollywood
mansion, will not give up her
battle for a share Of his vast
wealth. She said:
"I shall continue to fight for
our rights because that was
his wish. He never could
understand why there should b0
Federal interference in his
wishes over disposal Of that
which was his"
u. s. To Push Fight
But reports from washington
indicated the Government will
continue it's effort to prevent his
fortune falling into her hands.
known as the "Sachem of Will
shire Boulevard" Mr.. Barnett
was famed locally for his habit
of directing traffic near his
home at one Of the worlds busi-
est corners-WilShire Boulevard
and Rossmore Avenue.
Although living in comfort, his
tastes were simple. He called
his wife Jack" and said she was
a heap good Squaw." She called
him Chief" and he was grateful
to her for keeping his face
washed, and his hair cut. He
once said:
indians get married like
other people, why not let us
alone? We pick our brides and
are happy"
Liked Movies
Mr.. Barnett went to ten-cent
movies and smoked a pipe and
good cigars. He sometimes car
ried as much as 5000 in his
pockets, and had but one expen-
sive habit-betting on horse races.
He was q great lover of pork
and ate it on every possible occa-
sion.
He delighted in travelling and
had been all over the United
States, using trains and automo-
biles for transportation. He once
tried an airplane trip but never
cared to repeat the experience
saying "It scared me-"

VOTE TODAY ON
CONPR PROMISE:
$1.25 an Hour Proposal Likely
To Be Accepted; BaIk
at 9-Hour Day

Washington carpenters will de-
eide today whether they will re-
turn to work or remain on strike.
Out since May /, more than
1000 carpenters convened in the
auditorium Of the National Press
Club to vote on a compromise
wage scale which has been &C.
cepted by the wage committee of
the carpenters association. The
compromise was reached at a
recent meeting Of the committee
with contractors, presided over
by Commissioner George E. Allen.
Ask Six-HOur Day
The carpenters struck for
$l.371a an hour and a six-hour
day. The compromise provides
$l.2S an hour and an eight-hour
day.
It Is generally agreed that the
$1.25 an hour will be acceptable
to the carpenters but there are
indications that the eight.hour
day plan will be fought by many.
Carpenters claim the eight-hour
schedule will not spread work
among their trade as they in
tended when they walked out.
Many Of those expected to attend
the meeting today will not obtain
work unless the Six-hour point is
obtained, they claim.
Other Strikes Loom
Meanwhile, strikes continue to
paralyze the 100000, 1000 Federal
building program in the District
of Columbia. The jurisdictional
dispute over the new I. c. c. and
Labor buildings continued without
any indications that there would
be an early settlement. The dis
pute is between two plaStererS'
factions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, regarding the set
ting of an acouStical stone in the
auditorium connecting the two
buildings.
The plasterers' strike is still far
from a settlement.
There were strong indications
today that a general strike would
call in two ice cream plants here.
Firemen and Oiln1en of the Garry
and Southern Diaries Ice Cream
Companies walked out two weeks
ago and have been replaced by
non-union labor. Union organ
izations have demanded the re-
placements be ouSted or a SYM
pathy strike will ensue.

LEAVES ON TRIP

Of FLEET
Steel Code, Threat Of Textile

By International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt journeys to-
day to the historic Civil War bat
tlefield at Gettysburg. Pa, to de-
liver a Decoration Day address.
His special train leaves here
shortly after noon. arriving in
Gettysburg around 4 p. m.
The stop at Gettysburg will be-
gin a trip which will take the
President into New England to see
his son, John, graduated from
Groton School, at Groton, Mass,
and which will include as its ma
tional highlight a presidential re-
view of the fleet tomorrow in New
York Harhor.
Returns Here Monday
The President will leave Groton
Saturday, spend Sunday in his
Hyde Park IN. " home, and re-
turn here Monday morning.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be in GettyS-
burg approximately an hour, go
ing on to New York tonight. He
will board the heavy cruiser In
dianapolis for the fleet review
early tomorrow.
President Roosevelt will send his
long-awaited message on the for
eign debt question to Congress on
Friday, it was stated at the White
House today, but no new legisla-
ton will be asked.
The announcement tended to
confirm the belief that Mr.. Roose-
welt will merely make a report to
Congress on the status Of the
debts.
The President was noncommit-
tai in his press conference today
as to whether nations making
large" token payments would be
considered as not coming within
the purview of the johnson bill,
which prevents defaulters from
floating securities in the American
investment field. Individual cases.
he indicated, will be considered on
their merits.
Steel Code Up
Another important item to be
cleared out of the way is embraced
in the Presidents plan to revise
and extend the life of the NRA
steel code.
A draft of the proposed revi-
sions, drawn by NRA Chief Coun.
sci Donald r. Richberg, claimed
the Presidents attention this
morning. The old code expires to-
morrow at midnight. The PreSi-
dent was expected to proclaim
the extension today.
Under the extension, most Of
the complaints against the old
code contained in the recent Fed
eral Trade Commission report
will have been eliminated, accord
ing to Mr.. Richberg.
Chairman James M. Lands of
the Trade Commission and Com"
missioner Ewin Davis, along with
Senator Robert Wagner Cd Of
New York, and Mr.. Richberg went
over the revised code in confer
ence with the President yesterday.
Mike F. Tighe, president of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, conferred
with Senator Wagner for two
hours, after which Senator Wag-
ner expressed his hope that the
threatened strike of the steel
workers would not be called.
Mr.. Tighe has warned that the
100 900 or more workers will call
q holiday" next month if the
manufacturers continue to refuse
to recognize their union.
