Frazier of North Da! is chair- | man, has ed ie into jon. Charges of irregularities in In-/ dian land leasing and that a clerk on one reservation was “railroaded” to North Dakota when she reported irregularities in removing Indian liquor law violators are being made in Washington following the first steps of the commission. \ Indications are hearings will be held in all of the western states. Although members of the committee have steadfastly refused to discuss the investigation in any phase, it is known to be directed to a survey of administration of Indian affairs, and the probe is known to be country- wide. Mason in Committee Besides Senator Frazier, the com- mittee is composed of Nelson A. Mason, secretary to the senator who automatically serves as secretary to the committee; Senator W. B. Pine of Oklahoma; Senator C. C. Dill, and W. L. Jones, of Washington; and Senators Burton K. Wheeler of Mon- tana, and Robert La Follette of Wisconsin. Scope of the investigation is ex- to cover two main objectives —welfare work for Indians and ad- ministrative methods of the Indian bureau. When in Bismarck recently, Sen- je i all ator Frazier made it clear that he dates, all © was not seeking to embarrass any of the heads of the Indian bureau. He said he is particularly eager to learn actual conditions among the Indians and arrive at conclusions that will be of constructive value upon the Indian people and that special effort will be made to get the Indian viewpoint and to investi- grievances voiced by the In- Officials Mentioned The first explosion in the investi- gation came when charges were made of unlawful actions with re- gard to leasing land on the Yakima pense of the Indians or white men interested in the leases. The ac- tions have taken place with the knowledge of the superintendent, Major Evan W. Estep and P. B. Six and A. G. Brown, former chief clerk and field clerk respectively under him, it is charged. The charges made against the Yakima Indian reservation officials are that H. B. Miller, Toppenish, Wash., banker, was allowed to use a confidential agency record book of Indian lands coming up for releas- ing; that he selected choice lands for his field of operation and then obtained leases at a low figure from the Indians to whom the lands were allotted, later reaping a large profit by subleasing the lands to white ranchers. He is alleged to have handled as much as 920 acres in this Red member. and jailed. Diet.

Clerk Charges Violations Further assertions as to corrupt practice in leasing the Indian lands ‘were made by Mrs. Dolly Woodhouse of Wiley City, Wash. During part of 1925-26 she served in the Yakima Indian office as acting lease clerk. She alleged that after she wrote a letter to the commissioner of In- dian affairs at Washington, D. C., for L. O. Shirley, then reservation prohibition agent, in which com- plaints were made as to irregulari- ties in removing the liquor act vio- laters, Shirley was ordered trans- ferred to the Klamath reservation in fon and Mrs, Woodhouse to North Dakota.

Resident building-tradesmen were ions that this condition will con- tinue as long as favorable weather lasts, the report said. Many un- skilled workers found employment on the farms. At Fargo, the report said, a brisk demand for general farm labor was the leading factor in the employment situation, although the suuply. was adequate.’ Magny unskilled laborers found employment on railroad con- struction and other outdoor opera- tions. Meat-packing houses, rail- roads and other leading industries reported normal forces employed. At Grand Forks full-time opera- tions prevailed in the flour mills. Railroads reported slightly increased forces at work compared with the previous 30-day period. There was a good demand for farm help, with no shortage reported. Employment in neighboring states, the report said, was normal. Indus- trial enterprises were active and em- plored a normal number of men. nskilled labor was in good demand for agricultural activities, loggin; operations, railroad construction, a: other outdoor work. This class was well employed, the report said.

Wheat receipts during August, elu and October amounted to 133,000,000 bushels. The income from dairy products during September exceededgthe Sep- tember income from this source a | year ago by 34 per cent, or $5,000,- 000, the bank said. October prices of corn, rye, flax, milk, hens, butcher cows and steers, feeder steers and veal calves ex- ceeded prices a year ago. Prices of wheat, oats, barley, butter, eggs, po- tatoes, hana butcher steers, hogs and lambs did not exceed last year’s October prices. “October business in the district exceeded the volume in October a October last year. The daily average of debits to individual accounts in October was 2 per cent smaller than the average in October last year, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth reported smaller volumes of debits to individual accounts as compared with last year.” The estimated value of important farm products was estimated by the bank as follows: Oct., 1928 Oct., 1927 Bread wheat $41,683,000 $52,600,000 Durum 962,000 18,432,000 Rye . 2 5,922,000 Flax 16,667,000 Potatoes . 11,620,000 Hogs .. 11,720,000 16,052,000 i Sept., 1928 Sept., 1927 + $20,448,000 $15,273,000 EFFORT TO GET MISSING CHIEF (Continued from nage one) yesterday by the battleship Wy+ oming. Mrs. Norman K. Batten of Brook- lyn, N. Y., was acclaimed one of the heroines of the disaster. Her husband, with other men in a crowd- ed lifeboat that repeatedly capsized, had exhausted themselves in bailing and righting the craft. Thrown fi- nally into the water, Mrs, Batten kept her husband afloat as long as life remained, and at length was forced to relinquish her hold before help arrived. Mrs. Elvira Fernandez Rua of New Bedford. Mass., had lost both husband and child. Mrs. Mary Ul- rich of New York had lost a child, but learned that her husband was safe; and Mrs. Doril of Brooklyn had been informed that her husband was picked up alive at sea. Mme. Teruko Inouye mourned the loss of her husband, who was on his way to Buenos Aires to assume his post as Japanese con- sul there. A story of violation of the first stern law of the sea—women and children first—was brought to the Wyoming officers by the women sur- vivors, along with a theory from the stokers that the Vestris was pos- sibly unfit for sea -before she left port in New York. Mrs. Batten told them that she was placed in lifeboat No. 8 with about 60 other persons. Another boat containing only a few mem- bers of the crew was seen.near by and the No, 8 boat drew alongside to transfer some of its passengers. Mrs. Batten was quoted as saying that one woman got into the other boat, but that when she tried to follow she was pushed back with an o-r and the boat then shoved away.

GUILD PROTECTS CAPTAIN’S NAME London, Nov. 16.—(#)—The Im- perial Merchants Service guild has abled its New York lawyers in- | strecting them to protect the good name of their member, the late Cap- tain William J. Carey, of the Vestris, at the official inquiry in New York. WILKINSON TO LECTURE HERE Dr, J. M. Wilkinson, noted student and lecturer who has twice seen the famous Oberammergau _ Passion Play, will lecture at the McCabe Methodist church here Sunday at 7:30 p. m., it was announced here today by Rev. W. E. Vater, pastor of the churel. An authentic account of the drama will be given at the lecture, together with colored slides, hand painted, of scenes in the play. No camera is allowed in the thga- ter during the presentation of the play, and no motion picture has ever been made of any part of eds ie sentation, Dr. Wilkinson said. He is emphatic in his statement that any motion picture purporting to show actual views of the play as given at Oberammergau is a fake. He says the committee in charge of the sacred drama in 1920 refused a mil- lion dollar offer by an American syndicate for motion pictures of the actual play. While a visitor at Oberammergau, Dr. Wilkinson stopped at the home of Anton Lang, noted for the role of Christ. Here he met John Zwinck, the Judas of the play; his daughter Ottie, who portrayed the Virgin Mary, and Andreas, who took the part of Peter. In this way he gained first-hand knowledge of the actors and their arts, and through Jacob Rutz, leader of the great chorus, he be- came familiar with the details of the play. Armed with knowledge and insight into the daily lives of the people who took part, he gives an accurate lecture of his impres- sions of the Sacrament, as the vil- lagers prefer to call the Passion lay. The lecture is open to the public. ’ Additional Sports | if I ° ROCKNESET TO STOP HARPSTER South Bend, Ind., Nov. 16.—()— Howie Harpster, Carnegie Tech’s nomination for All-American quar- terback, will be a marked man when the Skibos fight it out with Notre Dame on Cartier field tomorrow.

Prices bounded upward in a riotous outburst of buying at the opening and continued to climb in the face of heavy profit-taking. Extreme gains in the active issues range from 3 to 21 points, with a long list of issues including such favorites as U. S. Steel, Montgomery Ward, Packard Mootrs, _ Westinghouse Electric and Texas Co. setting new high records for the year. . Call money renewed at 61 pe cent, as against 6 yesterday, but bankers indicated that relatively easy rates could be expected until! the holiday demands began to make themselves felt. Further import: of British gold also were expectec to strengthen the country’s credi( position. In the first three hours of trad ing, total sales averaged more thar a million shares an hour, with thi ticker more than an hour late. All sorts of merger and dividenc rumors accompanied the rise ir prices Wall street heard that the General Motors corporations wat negotiating with the Opel Automo- bile Works, Germany’s largest motor concern, and that Chyrsler motors would take over the Kelvinator cor- poration. Bethlehem Steel was heav- ily bought on unconfirmed reports that dividends would be resumed at the January meeting. Talk of higher copper prices and increased dividends stimulated the demand for the copper stocks. Merchandising issues swung upward on predictions of record breaking holiday trade. Montgomery Ward, with an ex- treme gain of 21 points at 415, a n.w top, was again the leader. Radio ex- tended its early gain to 14 points by touching 289.
