McCarl Ignores Tribal Laws

McCarl first turned it down, asked for
reconsideration, explaining:
Your certificate tholding no pay
ment due) was based on the assump-
tion that where an Indian is mar
ried by civil ceremony under the laws
of State, such status cannot be
dissolved by Indian custom. Your at
teption is respectfully called to the
fact that this department, in its con-
duct of Indian affairs, has not sub
scribed to the above-stated assump-
ton. Experience over along period
of time has indicated that to follow
such rule leads to confusion, injustice
and, at times, absurdities."
But McCarl was not moved. Hold
ing that Elulah had become citizen
of South Dakota by receiving her
allotment, and had apparently adopt
ed the habits of civilized life in the
consummation Of her marriage with
another citizen Of South Dakota by
civil ceremony" not dissolved, he added
that "it. may not be concluded that
the marriage between the claimant

And that let out the ex-Mrs. Thin
Elk and her claim.
Evening star., 1936-05-10

The ancient tribal law of the Sioux
has come into conflict with the only
statutes recognized by Controller Gen
eral McCarl, and so Elulah JACK,
whose home address Is the Rosebud
Agency in South Dakota, won't collect
$412,65 claimed as Indian allowances.
The record made public yesterday
when McCarl finally thumbed out
Elulah, shows she was wed to Paul
Thin Elk in a civil ceremony on De-
cember 20, 1928.
After about five years of domestic
infelicity, Paul went into court In
South Dakota and instituted divorce
proceedings, which proceedings have
never become final as the plaintiff has
not paid the balance alleged to be
due the attorney or the costs OF the
suit other than the initial $10," the
case history recites.
That aspect of the matter didn't
bother Elulah at all. She and Paui
no longer were .domiciled under one
roof, and rs far as she was con-
cerned, that was that, and she
wanted her allowance as a single
woman according to tribal law.

BUS VENT|LATORS
ORDERED BY FALL
October 81 DeadIine Set.
Vehicles Exhaust Fumes
to Be Checked.

Ordering installation of forced draft
ventilation on all District and subur-
ban buses on or before October 81,
when cold weather will bring a clos
ing of bus windows, the Public Utili-
ties Commission yesterday set itself to
q close watch on excessive raw ex-
haust gases. the principal Summer
bus complaint.
Vice chairman Richmond B. Keech
said commission experts would main
tam a close check during the Summer
on bus operations to protect passen-
gers as much as possible from discom-
fort caused by exhaust fumes.
He pointed out that new bus engine
equipment units now have been per-
fected which greatly reduce possibili-
ties of excessive raw eXhausts. In
some cases. he added, such difficulties
may be solved by simple engine ad-
justmentS.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
termed the commissions ventilation
order "a highly gratifying step toward
improved conditions and is unques-
tionably the result Of careful study OF
the mechanical equipment available.
Striking at the exhaust gas problem,
Roberts said within the last week,
upon complaint of this office, bus
was removed from operation when
passengers became i'll. On inspection
it was detected that the bus was op-
Grated with a gasket which was throw
ing raw fumes into the vehicle" Rob-
erts urged rigid enforcement OF the
ventilation order.
The commission issued the forced
draft order yesterday after Bureau Of
Standards experts had completed tests
of monoxide gas in type of bus haV-
ing the required equipment.
The order requires provision OF a
minimum of 10 cubic feet Of fresh
air per passenger seat per minute.
The intake opening or openings must
be located at the front roof level or
at the middle of the right side, un-
less some new location later is found
satisfactory. The openings may not
be located in the rear third portion
of the body or roof of the busses,
since tests have shown the commits
sion such locations do not serve well.
The order is effective at once for
any new buses which may be pur-
chased in the future. Time was al
lowed the companies for installation
of equipment on the existing busses,
since bus windows will not be closed,
normally, until October 81.

Cite Decision Influences.
"honor type" of control at the Lor-
ton reformatory and the kind OF
crime of which Hall was convicted
influenced the decision.
Hall had served 81 months when he
made a break from the reformatory
August 7, 1923. After his escape he
worked in West Virginia and Ohio,
was married and has two young chill
dren.
His residence is Gallipolis. Ohio,
where the boards investigation showed
that his reputation was good. How
ever, La Roe said, Hall was sentenced
to serve four years 'for vicious sort
of crime" robbery OF his own en-
ployer on the street, during the course
of which he shot the victim in the hip
with a pistol If Hall had been denied
credit for institutional good record. he
would have to stay in the reformatory
until February, 1888.
Rules Bar Parole.
HuleS Oh IIle HdEOle bOdIu piO-
vide that an escape or even an at
tempt to escape, ordinarily will be
deemed complete bar to parole, and
inasmuch as the applicant, by reason
CT his voluntary return, has had his
good time of 1886 days restored. the
board does not feel that further leni-
ency should be shown him." La Roe
said.
''Lorton Reformatory is unique in
that it is not surrounded by wall.
Nevertheless, escapes are rare, due to
excellent discipline and to strict rules
regarding escapes. 1t is obviously not
advisable to relax too much the rules
regarding escapes. While the board
has no criticism of the officials for re-
storing Halls good time under the pc
culiar circumstances of this case, it is
not willing to grant him further con-
cession."

Health and Morale Broken
By Withdra,uaI of Relief
Behind.the.Scenes Conditions Among
Unemployed Since A prH l Curtail.
nlent Found to Be Serious.

Curtailment Of public relief here
April l has precipitated an increas-
mgly serious acknowledgements con-
dition of breaking health and falter-
ing courage among the needy unem-
ployed. 1t has not, however, brought
as many acute emergencies as were
feared by public and private relief
agencies.
Many factors. some Of which were
unforeseen by relief officials when the
curtailment became effective, have
contributed to these circumstances.
First was the fact no flood of evic-
tions followed the cutting Of ABB
cases from the relief rolls. Cooper
alton on the part of landlords and the
United States marshals Office proved
most important. In addition, private
relief agencies and relatives Of fami-
lies strained their resources a little
harder in certain cases and prevented,
temporarily at least, evictions.
Second was an appreciate upturn in
employment, particularly in private
industry. as measured by placements
of the District of Columbia Public
Employment Center. With place
ments totaling 3,108 during April, the
net increase in jobs filled was 1873.
OF greater significance. however, was
the fact private enterprise accounted
for 2.124 of the total, or an increase
of 1863 private jobs filled as compared
with the March figure. The largest
increase in the private rolls came in
the industrial division, where there
were 252 more employment opportu-
mites than in March.
Nature Of Positions.
Among the private jobs filled there
porary and semi-permanent positions.
In the classification of public en-
ployment there was a net loss Of 236
placements, but encouragement was
found in this direction in the fact that
jobs of a semi-permanent nature in
creased to marked degree, with all Of
the decreases being found in the tenn
porary W. p. A. occupations.
The w. P. A., for instance, provided
81 jobs in April. as compared to 428
filled in March. Other Government
services, however, such as public works,
furnished employment for 903 in April,
compared to 1872 in March. OF the
903. there were 84S given q semi-per-
manent classification
The w. P. A. reports that it is max
ing continued effort to move persons
from the subsistence wage jobs to
those Of prevailing rates, this account
ing for some of the trend shown above.
During the last few weeks, for in
stance, about 200 men have been pro-
NOTED from jobs paying $45 a month
to others paying $50.
Federal projects, where most Of the
etter-paying work Is found, num-
