Indian land Bill
to Get Hearing
in Senate Body
m
Storm of Protest Evoked by
Bursum Measure Brings
Matter Back Into
Limelight.
Washington, Jan. •.—The controv
ersy raging over the Bursum bill de
signed to straighten legal snarls which
have developed over Pueblo Indian
lands In New Mexico will be given a
thorough airing by the senate public
lands commlttse. Hearings will begin
within the next few days and all In
terested parties will be given full op
portunity to slate their aide of the
case before further action Is taken.
The bill In question was introduced
by Senator Bursum, republican. New
Mexico, and passed by the senate sev
eral months ago. Upon motion by
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
however, the action was rescinded
and the bill was sent back to the pub
lic lands committee for more careful
scrutiny and Investigation.
Has Substitute Bill.
Meantime Senator Jonea. democrat,
New Mexico, at the request of or
galzations opposing the bill, has In
troduced a substitute measure. The
Bursum bill is entitled "A bill to as
certain and settle land claims of per
rons not Indian within Pueblo Indian
land, land grants and reservations
in the state of New Mexico." The bill
designates the federal district court
of the state of New Mexico as the
tribunal before which these claim#
should be tried. The Jones bill would
set up nn entirely separate court to
deal with the litigation.
Approximately 3,000 claimants with
property involving ahout $10,000,000
are affected by the Bursum bill.
These claimants are nearly nil of
Spanish descent whose ancestors set
tled on Pueblo Indian lands before
the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock,
according to Senator Bursum.
Publish Pamphlet.
The New Mexico association on In
dian affairs and the Indian welfare
committee of the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs, has Just published
a pamphlet setting forth their ob
jections to the bill. The argumente
against the measure are summed up
in the following language:
"In general the bill la «o full of
Inconsistencies, contradictions and
language requiring construction, as to
render It lmpoaslble of amendment In
auch a way aa to aerve any useful
purpose either for the Indians or for
the claimants adverse to tha Indiana.
It should bo utterly and wholly de
feated because:
(1) It stultifies the government and
adds another failure to Its record In
dealing with dependent peoples.
(8) It will ruin the Pueblo Indiana
by the losa of their lands and In a
short time utterly destroy them.
Won't Aid Settlers.
(8) It will not benefit the settlers
who will be trapped In endless litiga
tion and unlimited expense thereto.”
The pamphlet recommends that In
lieu of the Bursum bill the president
appoint an unbiased, nonpartisan com
mission to deal with the situation,
The Bursum bill was the endorse
ment of Secretary of the Interior
Fall and in fact, was drafted under
the supervision of the Indian Affairs
bureau of the federal government.
Secretary Fall in a recent letter vig
orously repudiated the suggestion that
the bill was unfair to the Indians or
that It was designed to give any one
an undeserved advantage.
Bursum Denies Charge.
8enator Bursum likewise vehement
ly denies the charge that his bill will
work unfairly against the Indian. At
the same time he sees no particular
gain to be made in substituting the
Jones bill.
"My bill Is the result of at least a
year’s careful study by competent ex
perts representing all sides of the con
troversy,’’ said Senator Bursum. “I
have no pride of authorship and I am
willing to accept any modlflcatlona
which will Improve the bill. However,
I do not see what would be gained by
the substitution of the bill offered by
my colleague, Senator. Jones.
"The very Introduction of the Jones
bill is a confession that some sort of
legislation is necessary to meet the
situation. His bill would set up a
new court a> an expense of $400,000,
while my hill would make use of the
existing federal court In New Mexico.
Would Clear Titles.
“I have no desire to deprive the
Indians of any of their lands. All I
am seeking to do Is to enable the old
•ettlera who have, lived upon lands
within ths Pueblo grants for cen
turies to clear their titles. Within
the boundaries of ths lands affected,
there are about 8.000 Indians and
^S.000 persons other than Indians.
These 12,000 persons are nearly all
of Spanish descent and their fore
fethers settled on these lands In many
eases before there was an English
settlement In America. To refuse
to quit the titles of these Inhabitants
end leave It possible to oust them
would be Just about as reaaonable as
to try to take the state of Pennsyl
vania away from Its prssent Inhabi
tants and &Ive It back to the descend
ants of the Indians, who sold It to
William Penn.
“The Indians appeared to be en
ttrely satisfied with the method pro
posed In my bill for settling the dis
pute until they were told by outsiders '
that they were being ‘robbed.’ How
ever, I am anxious to have every side
heard fully, so that we can frame
and support the measure that will be
as nearly satisfactory as possible ami
furnish a permanent solution of the
difficulty."

Here's the first picture of the new
Creighton university to be built at
Twenty-fifth and California streets.
Building will begin as soon as the
frost is out of the ground.
The cost is to he $1,000,000 and next
month Creighton will put on a cam
paign to raise this amount and an
additional million, which will be used
as an endowment fund to take care
of the several hundred young men
seeking educations who now are
turned away every year because of
lack of facilities.
One million dollars of this fund Is to
come from out of Omaha and Creigh
ton alumni everywhere are organizing
to carry on the campaign in their dis
tricts. The other half of the fund
will be subscribed in Omaha. The
campaign Is being directed by Presi
dent John F. McCormick nf the uni
versity and a financial committee of
five Omaha business men.
The new Creighton will he a com
pact set of buildings housing all the
different colleges with the exception
of the medical college. The new medi
cal building will be located near St.
Joseph hospital. t
Student Body Doubles.
Creighton's student body has more
than doubled In the last JO years. A
decade ago the registration was about
900. Last year It was 1,950.
In five years, with the added fa
cilities and enlarged endowment,
Creighton experts to be giving In
struction to at least 1,000 more stu
dents than are now enrolled.
Omahans will scarcely recognize the
new Creighton, shown In the accom
panying achitect’s drawings.
The grandstand of the big "oval’’—
the football stadium—is almost hid
den by the chemistry building. This

SALTS FINE FOR
When Back Hurt* Fluah Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels.
Moat folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flushing
occasionally, else we have backache
and dull misery In the kidney region,
severe headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless
ness and all sorts of bladder disor
ders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean and the mo
ment you feel an ache or pain In the
kidney region begin drinking lots of
water. Also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good drug store
here, take a tablespoonful In a glass
of water before break'fast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
line. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with Uthla, and Is Intended
to flush clogged kidneys and hslp
stimulate them to activity. It also
helps neutralize the acids In the urine
so they no longer Irritate, thus help
ing to relieve bladde# disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: makes u
delightful effervescent Uthla water
drink which everybody should take
now and then to help keep their kid
neys clean.
. A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salta to folks who
believe in trying to correct kidney
trouble while it is only trouble. By
all means have your physician ex
amine your kidneys at least twice a
year.
grandstand is but the first unit. A
similar stand will lie built immediately
across the oval. There is room for
additional units when needed.
Tills first grandstand, together with
the construction of the field itself,
will cost $150,000. It will seat 7,500.
A special effort will be made to get
it completed for the football season
this fall. The new football’field will

Big Bear Wrecks
Hotel While on
Hunt for Food
Bruin’s Second Trip to Got
More Sweets from Pantry,
Results in Downfall,
However.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 6 — How a giant
silver-tipped hear wrecked the interior
of the Many Glaciers hotel In Glacier
National park recently Is told In
stories brought out hy belated tour
ists who remained after the regular
season had closed and ell places had
been shut down.
This bear apparently bad tired of
a herbaceous diet and started out for
a change. Finding the hotel closed
and no obsequious porter on hand to
take his baggage, lie tore off a heavy
stnini door and threw his weight
against the inner door, breaking it
from its hinges.
Then he started to give the place
tho once over. In doing so he pulled
down shelves on which provisions had
been stored. Glass Jars were broken
and their contents scattered around.
Cups, saucers, plates and other dishes
nil suffered the same way. Flour,
bacon nnd other articles of food were
dumped at random.
In the pantry Bruin found some
jars of honey. From these he evi
dently ate his fill, without being able
to consume it all, and lie left the rest
for another visit. That subsequent
visit was his undoing. Curill McGill,
watchman of the place, discovered the
wreck when he came back from a trip
to another part of the park. So he
stuck around.
Lured by the taste of the honey, the
hear came bark for more. McGill was
waiting for him and finished him
with one well directed shot.
The bear measured five feet nine
inches from tip to tip. When shot,
the big fellow dropped onto a large
packing case, in which some of the
hotel stores were kept. His immense
weight crushed the box.
Estimates of the damage done place
the figures close to $5,000. The dam
age conatated of broken dishes, mine*
provisions, smashed furnltur# and
broken windows, through which th#
bear had thrown things apparently
not to bis Uklng.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
•
If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, he careful what you wash it
with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali. Thia drlta
the scalp. ntnkes the hair brittle, and ia
very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing, r.s this
cannot possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoonfula of
Mulsified in a cup or glass with a little
warm water, then moisten the hair with
water and rub the Mulsified in. It will
make an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
and cleanse the hair and sealp thoroughly.
The lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excess oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces will last every
one in the family for months. Be sura
your druggist gives you Mulsified.
