series of multi-million share days.
Indicative of the dullness today
was that up to 2:S0 p. m. American

APPROVED BY
COMM TTEE

WASHINGTON, May 20 up -

RUM0R SAYS
JOHNSON To
RESIGN SOON
BY LYLE A. BROOKOVER
United Press Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Shifts
in NRA personnel and policy CO.
incide today with new reports that
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson
will resign soon and that the White
House has been canvassing possible
successors.
johnson has denied he will quit.
One usually we'll informed source
said w. Averell Hartman, railroad
magnate and recently powerful in
NRA, was among those suggested
for the job.
Others have figured in specula-
ton through the winter and spring
as possible successors to johnson.
They include:
l. Leon Henderson, drafted from
the Russell Sage foundation to be-
come chief of NRA's research and
planning division.
2. Donald r. Richberg general
counsel of NRA.
3. Numerous nationally known
industrialists and lawyers includ-
ing Newton d. Baker, owen d.
Young, John w. Davis.
Inquiry provoked general Genials
that Johnson contemplated early
retirement or that his ultimate de-
parture was predictable with any
accuracy now. Discussion Of the
subject was viewed at the White
House as mere prophecy. 1t is
known, however, that President
Roosevelt last winter considered
several possible nominees for the
blue eagle command.
In one quarter it was reported
Henry I. Hartman, president of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, had been given oppor-
tunity to suggest to Mr.. Roosevelt
panel of five possible nominees
for Johnson s job.

DEATH CLAIMS
RICH INDIAN

LOS ANGELES, May 80. U.P) -
jackson Barnett, who became the
worlds richest Indian when a poor
parcel of an Oklahoma reservation
Spouted forth oil, died here today.
1t was believed that a heart at
tack caused death but his body was
taken to the coroner's office for an
autopsy.
He was found in his mansion here
this morning by his white wife, An
ma Laura Lowe Barnett. Partly clad,
the Indian was discovered stretched
across the bed.
The Indian was generally held to
be about "a years old, although he
never was certain of his age and es-
| timated it as about co.
Barnett, extremely eccentric, oc-
cupied one of the poorest sections of
Oklahoma land in 1918 when oil was
brought in upon it.
| Soon he became wealthy and was
whisked from his meager three
room shack, through marriage to
a white woman, into Los Angeles
I
Marriage Invalid
Even at the time of Barnett's
death, the United States govern.
ment had in contemplation civi
suits to recover his property under
a federal court decision which helc
his marriage invalid.
After long trial, in which Mrs
Barnett opposed the action ano
threatened to black the eyes" oi
any deputy who separated her from
Barnett. Federal Judge william P
James held that the marriage 13
years ago was not valid.
Pending final legal control of his
fortune, the federal treasury al
Washington is holding s2,000,000 in
accumulated oil royalties belonging
to Barnett. His wife for years has
been receiving monthly check OF
81 500 from the government for the
Indians maintenance, sum Mrs
Barnett has repeatedly contended in
the courts to be inadequate.
The white wife said that Barnett's
death was an extreme surprise since
he apparently had been in gooc
health and high spirits.
Yesterday, in his customary fash
ion, Barnett mad stood at the cor
ner Of Wiltshire Boulevard and Ross
more avenue, before his large, col
onial-styled home, and had made g
pretense of directing automobile
traffic.
In late years this traffic direc'
tion" had been Barnett's chief di-
version. Motorists paid no attention
TO his motioning them one way ol
another, usually against the stand
ard red and green traffic lights, bu
many waved him a CHEEKY greeting
He was pointed out as Los Angelo
Landmark on all sightseeing tours

MINISTER IS
SPEAKER FOR
LIONS CLUB

Memorial day was observed this
noon at the Lions club meeting at
the Barbara Worth hotel with v. E.
Butterworth, pastor of the State
Street Christian church, rs the
speaker.
That the destinies of the nations
Of the world are guided by an un-
seen hand was the general theme of
his remarks.
The great nations of the world
have developed, the speaker declar-
ed, within the radius of a circle
which may be inscribed on the
globe. From Greece the world re-
ceived culture; from Rome, law;
from Germany, Professionalism from
Great Britain, the common law.
from Palestine, Christianity; and
from America, the conception of
freedom and liberty.
Destinies of these nations were
not matters of chance, but were
guided by an unseen hand. AS an
illustration he cited the gas attack
launched by the Germans in 1915
which would have killed thousands
but for the fact that for the first
time in 40 years, the wind changed
The speaker declared that Amer
ica's destiny is that of world lead
er and those of her citizens who lost
their lives for her have not died in
vain. Her constitution, her declara-
tion of independence are among
those events in her destiny which
have made her leader.
L. D. House of Imperial was the
only visiting Lion present. L. P
Reuland was a guest and Clarence

CLIMB FORESEEN
IN FARM INCOME
Standard Statistics Co. Es-
Inmates 1894 Total 29.3
Pct. Above 1888 Mark.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 17.-Farm in
come in the United States for 1884
is estimated by the Standard Sta
tistics Co. at S8,250,O00, 900.
This represents an increase of
29.3 per cent, as compared with 1893,
81 per cent over 1882, and 20 per
cent higher against 1881.
Any further rise in the prices of
farm products, the estimate says,
would increase the total, as the fig
ures were arrived at by taking either
recent prices or the average for the
year to date. depending upon the
method of marketing.
Based on carefully compiled esti-
mates" the statistical organization
places farm income for the year at
Sc, $50 100000. and including relief
payments, bounties, etc, paid to date
and in prospect for the remainder of
the year, anticipates the larger total.
The company expresses the opinion
that the drought as a factor in the
general business outlook has been
overemphasized.
Accompanied by fanfare of pub
licity" says the survey, "the drought
has been a major influence in dis
rupting confidence in the business out
look for coming months. It is not
generally recognized, however, that
the grains. which have been damaged
the most and which have received the
greatest attention in the news reports,
normally provide only small per-
centage of gross income
THE bulk of the farmers income
for the whole country is normally de-
rived from live stock and dairy prod
ucts. These two classifications will
provide some SO per cent of aggregate
revenues this year"
The survey points out that the in
crease in farm purchasing power will
be less than the increase in gross in
come, however, because of the rise in
farmers living costs in the last year
The price index of what the farmer
buys averaged 109 in 1888, and cur
rently stands at about 1872; thus liv-
ing costs are about II per cent higher
than last year."
