Charges that the Bureau of Indian Affairs is seeking to destroy the tribal | life of the Pueblo Indians of New | Mexico, made public by the American Indian Defense Association m a pe- tition addressed to President Cool- idge, drew from Indian Commissioner | Charles H. Burke today a denial that the Government interferes in any| way with the tribal customs or re- | ligious beliefs of the Indians of the 19 Pueblos. Two factions are at work, Mr. Burke said, one protesting against the actions of the “caclques” or tribal rulers of the Pueblos in favor of the progressive element, while the other helieves the Indians should adhere to their old bellefs. The Government, according to the Indian commissioner, remains out of any Indian controversy which In- voives tribal or religlous customs. The memorial, which the defense assoclation says has been sent to the President, claims efforts are being made to destroy the self-government of the Pueblos; that fair play in the treatment of the tribal religion is not being given, and that their constitu- <onal rights are being taken away. It was framed by the Indians at a meeting of all the pueblos at Santo Domingo, N. Mex., August 31, at which 15 of the 19 pueblos were rep- resented. “We, the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, have been driven to make this appeal for the continued | right of our self-government, for fair play in the matter of our religion and for personal liberty as heretofore ac- CAILLAUX LOOKS TO STARS FOR HE reader of New York. with the head of the French debt commi summoned yesterday Fren M.

Arrangements have been made by the Maryland State commissioner of motor vehicles and the American Automobile Association to Maryland motorists who have been using District of Columbia operators’ permits and tags to take examinations for Maryland permits at Rockville on October 1. The arranzement virtu ally marks the end of the tag war waged on Maryland motorists who use District tags by the M vehicle commissioner. Under the old arranzement Mary- land motorists would have to go to Baltimore to take examinations for driving permits. The new arrange ment will save the trip to Baltimore and the examinations will tated exactly as if made in that ctiy A specfal force of examiners and clerks will be drawn from every sec tion of nearby Marviand to handle the examinations at Rockville. In order to aid those motorists who must secure Maryland permits and tags, the American clation announces all necessary forms may be procured from the automobile organization. Motorists living in Maryland who hold District licenses must_file application and pav $1 to the Baltimore office for the instruc- tion card which will enable them to take the examination at Rockville on October 1. The same procedure must be followed by those who do not hold drivers’ license: The recent drive on Maryland mo- torists who used District tags, which resulted in the arrest of scores of nersons living in nearby Maryland, has stopped, although many of the cases still remain to be tried.

Enthusiasm was shown as the laughing, shouting members of the assoclation were carried over town. G. W. Ayres, vice president of the body and delegate to the Federation of Citizens' Association, who was in charge of the advertising tour, said Just as much or more enthusiasm would be shown during the Fall sea- mon’s activities of the association.

Praises School Officials. Commissioner Fenning praised the school officials, and said he believed them to be sympathetically qualified for their respective posts. The association expressed approval of the appointment of Edwin B. Hesse as superintendent of police. The sec. retary was directed to send a letter to Maj. Daniel Sullivan. commending him on his many vears of faithiul service and expressing regret at his resignation. Commissioner Fenning thanked the association for the ap. proval of Hesse's appointment, stating that his qualifications and long service on the police force entitled him to the position Resolutions adopted instructed the committee on streets and highways to make every effort to have the Com missioners modify their plans to in immediate " extension of Cath edral avenue from Wisconsin and Massachusetts avenues through to Conduit road.

Commis | sioner Fenning said he hoped for this { improvement at a future date, stating that while the Tenleytown station, this sec. tion, {s merely a substation, it em braces about one-fifth of the total area of the District.
