INDIANS ACCEPT U.S. TRIBAL FUNDS More Than Half Vote for Corporations, Although Navajos Refuse. By the Associated Press. The commissioner of Indian affairs says that considerably more than half the Indians offered the opportunity to establish Federally-financed corpora=- tions for tribal activities have ac- cepted it. The plebiscites on the corporations, for which the Wheeler-Howard In- dian reorganization act appropriated $10,000,000 for a revolving fund, said John Collier, the commissioner, show- ed 134 reservations, with a population of 128,467, had voted yes. Fifty-four, with a population of 85,- 179, rejected the proposal, including the Navajo tribe, which with 45,000 members in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado is the largest in the country. The Navajo election showed 7,795 voting for and 8,214 against the cor- o porations. Collier, who with Chairman Rogers, Democrat, of Oklahoma, of the House Indian Committee, termed the results | “as satisfactory as we could expect in view of the opposition and misunder- standings of the aims of the act,” as- serted that many of the opposing arguments were “knowingly false.” Collier said many of the reserva- tions which had voted against the| corporations desired to vote over, but | that special legislation would be necessary. “All of the New Mexico and Hopi Pueblos,” Collier said, “are in, with the exception of Jamez in New Mexico. All of the Southwest is in with the exception of the Navajos.” Simultaneously, Collier _predicted that the pending Thomas-Roger bill, which would appropriate $2,000,000 and extend the application of the Wheeler-Howard act to the 120,000 Oklahoma Indians, would be approved APHNE was at the door. Rob- ert Rede opened it for her. Alison, standing rigid, para- lyzed by shock, watched them go out together and heard Daphne, in the hall, murmur “My dear, that’s it! I'll speak to Dr. Mortimer for you, and I know & wonderful maid.” Alison did not move, but she found her knees shaking, her hands trem- bling, as if she had fever. No matter what happened now, her father would never again believe her! She would be carted off, help- less, to Spain with some grim maid chosen by Daphne to support the hideous prtense that she was vietim of hysteria and nerves! She stared at the fireplace blankly, ‘wondering if she were to run away to- night, escape, whether she would be safe. Would they chase her, catch her, bring her back, even shut her up, perhaps, in some . ghastly nursing home? The whole-familiar room seemed to have grown cold and horrible, un- friendly, as she stared down into the e. Suddenly she stooped, caught up a scrap of torn paper. Charred at one corner, where it had been lying on the iron bars, it burned her, but she did not know it. For she was staring at the words scrawled in a clean, firm hand, cut short by the diagonal tearing of the sheet, “—f you know, Aliso—" and below “—et no answe—" with, at the bot- tom, the bold signature, “Guy Lu—" ending in burned, dark brown edges. A letter to herself from Guy! She had a swift vision of Daphne standing by the oak chest in the hall. So that was what she had been doing there! That was why she had stood with skirts outspread before the fire! A red blaze of anger swallowed Alison’s fear. She dropped on her knees on the hearth rug, gathering up all the charred bits she could find—not more than half a dozen lit- tle pieces, and two of those almost FIRE VETERAN DIES Skillful Gotham Member Lost Wife in Flames. KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 24 (&) ~Harley Selden, about 70, one-time star member of the New York Fire | Department, died here today. He came North in 1896 after the deaths of his actress wife and their baby in a New York fire.

MINT WORKING OVERTIME SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 (#)— For the first time since the World ‘War, the San Francisco Mint is run- ning at top speed, with three full crews working 24 hours a day. Mint officials said the unusual ac- tivity was due to a huge order for as- sorted Mexican coins, placed with the mint recently by the Mexican gov- ernment.

Twice during that long session she had heard her father’s knock and had listened to him pleading with her to open the door. She had answered carefully, reasonably, sanely, “I don't want to talk just now. I'm going to bed. Please leave me alone.” She had heard him go back at last to his own rooms and now, looking out, she could see that his light was off. Half past 2; too late to steal down and ring up Guy. By morning Daphne might have the doctor waiting, have engaged & maid to spy on her; she might be a prisoner! She opened her evening bag and counted out her small store of change, 9 shillings in cash. But she had jewelrw enough perhaps to keep her until she found work.

The latch gave under her hand and a rush of cold air nipped her as she got the door open. The square looked dark nothing moving and the lamps dim in a rising fog. Victoria—St. Pancras? She had so little money that she chose Victoria although it was near, almost too near for safety. The hat box weighed heavily on her arm and she was afraid that some policeman, noticing her, might stop her to ask what she was doing at that hour, carrying a bag. She went into the station; it was empty but there was a waiting room with many people sitting, half asleep, along its shiny benches. She chose to wait in the third, as being less likely to contain any one she knew. It was half an hour before the bustle of a train arriving released her from an uncomfortable vigil between a fat old man and a brightly painted, all-too- friendly French woman. Bag in hand, Alison made her way toward the incoming train, mingling CAMELS ARE SO MILD THAT ) CAN SMOKE AS MANY AS 1| LIKE AND STILL KEEP PERFECT WIND. | HAVE ALSO DI THE MILDNESS THAT MR.DESJARDINS MENTIONS.AND CAM WHEN I'M TIRED.

Once there, she had imagined she would sée Guy at once; but the door stood open and the room inside, bare but for wooden benches round the walls, was crowded. There was no sitting space left, and the people who were standing looked as though they had been waiting for some time. A bare gray room, full of people whose poverty was real and who took it as part of the day’s work. Alison, who had never seen these things, re- membered Guy sitting in the little res- taurant in Soho and saying, “They don't want any fairy godmother stuff. They want understanding, sympathy. And that means experience.” She had thought him brutally frank then but now she saw that he was right. What had she got to give to these tired or busy people? She felt rather humble as she chose a far corner, well behind the crowd, to stand and wait.
