Inited States Senator Lynn J. Frazier and seere- of the Indian affairs committee which is making the investigation. Senator Frazier is chairman of the committee and of the sub-committee which recently has been conducting hearings in the The probe was ordered by a sen- ate resolution adopted at the last session of congress. The resdlution was sponsored by Senator William H. King of Utah at the request of Mrs. Stella Atwood of Riversi California, ner chairman o Indian affairs committce of the tional federation of women’s clut Field investigators made a y liminary survey and on November the sub-committce bega hear- ‘ings at Yakima, W. They were discontinued. 1, in or- der to permit the senators to return to, Washington for the forthcoming short session of congress. At Yakima, Mason said, Indians objected to the manner in which their land has been leased to white tenants. Thi were forced to sell their ant of pas- ture and c discrimination bh pines the Indian in favor of the white man. They also charged that Jand leased to white persons often was Sub-leased by them contrary to federal law. In some cases, they charged, Indians received as little as two dollars an acre for rich farming land and the lessors sub-leased the property for $11 to $15 an acre, Hunters Scare Indians Mason said hunting is not allowed on the reservations but that Indian women and children said they were afraid to go out of doors at times be- cause they were afraid of being shot by white hunters, White violators *6f the prohibition law went unpunished and were per- | mitted to continue to live on the re- servation, Mason said the witnesses testified, because the government’s representative in charge of such the offenders. Mason said Indian residents of the reservation were thrown into jail and given heavy penalties for minor infractions of laws such as those governing traffic on the high- ways. Mason said the conditions on the reservation were worse than the senators had expected to find them. The leasing of tillable lands was out- rageous, he said, but the valuable timber lands were well conserved. The Klamath Falls, Oregon, res- ervation was the best visited, Mason said. The Indians were of a high type, apparently well civilized and well-dressed. Their chief grievance was that they were capable of ad- ministering their own affairs but were not permitted to do so, They charged that a greded and graveled road was built with Indian funds for the benefit of timber firms leasing Indian lands and that the Indians re- ceived no benefit; that the Indians were discriminated against in the matter of water rights and that their funds were improperly handled, They asked that Indian affairs be govern- ed by the Indian tribal counsel. California Indians Poor Hearings at Riverside and San Francisco, California, showed that the California Indians were poorer ‘han any others in America, Mason said, State officials and leading medical men testified that living conditions among California Indians are intolerable, Mason said. Tuber- culosis is prevalent and has taken a # heavy toll, reducing the number of Indians from 150,000 to 18,000 in the Jast 50 years. Witnesses charged that land 8 bought by the government for these | ndians was so poor that, according | 40 one witness “a scientific agricul- turist vould starve to death trying to raise food on it.” The state of California is ready to assist in solving its Indian prob- Jem, Mason said. A hearing was held at Salt Lake City, Utah, to ascertain conditions among Indians in that state but no reservations, were visited by the sen- ators. Testimony at Salt Lake, Ma- son said, brought out charges that rations are sold to Indians at exor- bitant prices and the food often was unfit or use. Senator W.°B.

The operation of the Jones-White Merchant Marine Act, designed to stimulate American shipbuilding with aid from postal revenue, was not reflected in the report as new contracts could not be made to be- gin during the period. The five cent rate on letters sent by air also was made effective since the date of the report but Mr. New said that the contract air mail service appears to justify his opinion that private enterprise can perform the work creditably.

The average per capita expendi-j ture for postage was $5.11. A re- duction of 8.5 per cent in the number of undeliverable letters was noted, 23,649,044 pieces.

Carson City, Nev., Dec. 4. (NEA) A new “gas house” for taking human life is to be completed at the Nevada state prison here in the very near future. ‘ And already, a prisoner has been received who will be first to die in the new structure, unless his appeals upset his death sentence, Th¢ prisoner is Robert F. White. He wag sentenced to die January 13, 1929, following conviction on a mur- der charge at Elko. Instead of the gallows or the electric chair, Nevada uses lethal gas for executions. The old gas house, in which two prisoners met their death, was a temporary structure, and was torn down in a recent remodeling. Plans were made for replacing this with a small one-story structure. This will now be rushed to completion for the flate set for White’s death. It may also house the cells of condemned oe as well as the death cham- er. Despite nationwide comment when the gas-death method was introduced in Nevada, the state is continuing this method of execution. The con- demned man is strapped to a chair placed in an air-tight room. Through tubes in the walls of the room, hy- drocyanic gas is forced into the death chamber from a small steel tank equipped with a hand pump. In the two previous. executions, death was almost instantaneous, Gee John, a Chinese, was first to die | by gas. Three years ago, Stanko dukich was executed in the same manner, White, who is at the prison now under death room sentence, was con- victed of killing Louis Lavall, an Elko gambler. Lavall’s body never was found, but authorities charge White burned the body after killing Lavall. And while carpenters, cement mix- ers and chemists are rearing the “gas house” in which the state de- clares White must die from lethal fumes, the condemned man is carry- ne Ne a determined court fight for is life. dignantly refused an interview with the Pope on any such conditions. Mr. Roosevelt immediately answered that the “Holy Father” had the right | to make any conditions he thought | best, but reminded him that, “I must. decline to make any stipulations or submit to any conditions which in any way limit my freedom of con- duct.” Mr. J. C. O’Laughlin, a newspaper man, was Mr. Roosevelt’s secretary | on his tour in Egypt, and since he was a Roman Catholic, offered to | precede the party and make the) arrangements for the interview; and | in his book, “Through Europe with Roosevelt,” reports the following | but these “dead” messages totaled | concerning Merry Del Val, the Pope's | secretary: “Ali I ask is this: Can| you assure me that Mr. Roosevelt | will de facto rot go to the Metho- | dists, thus leaving aside the question of what he may consider to be his rights in the matter?” Mr. Roose- velt considered this to be “disere itable double-dealing and deception.” “In speaking about it he said that Merry Del Val told Mr. O’Laughlin that he could have the ‘audience’ with the Pope if he would secretly agree not to visit the Methodists, while it would be publicly announced that THERE HAD BEEN NO SUCH AGREEMENT. He imagined that this would save the ex-President’s face.” Mr. Roosevelt is represented as having said that even a “Tam- many boodle alderman” would not have dared to make such a proposal. When John P. Mitchel was mayor of New York City in 1916, he set in motion a plan to have an investiga- tion of the Roman Catholic charities in the city. Mayor Mitchel was him- self a Roman Catholic, but he dared to go contrary to the interests and Church, and as a consequence in- Catholics. _ He was denounced by Professor Hill of Fordham Univer- sity before 20,000 Knights of Colum- bus on June 19, 1916. The New York World carried the following account of. Professor Hill’s speech: “The late investigation of Cath- olic charities, set on foot by the enemy. was meant to discredit us cripple our efficiency, and, if pos- curred the indignation of the Roman | 4 result would be in such an event that multitudes of poor children would be forced into state homes and asylums, to be robbed of their re- ligion, and lose their immortal souls. |—The head and front of the recent investigation is a Catholic, and he was raised to power largely by Cath- olic votes. The whole thing is proof to me that here in New York some Catholics are Democrats or Repub- licans first and Catholics afterward. As soon as this attitude becomes general, the fate of the Catholic Church in France and Mexico will inevitably overtake the Catholic faith in these United States. Loyalty to God and the Church is far and away: a more precious posse: alty to this or that party in the state, because our eternal interests depend on the first while trifles as little as time depend on the-second. Here and there are traitors who arise within our Church and make momentary havoc. The betrayal of the Master by Judas did not disrupt the infant Church; but it did tie the rope of self-murder around the neck of the betrayer, and, in the language of the Scriptures, he went where he belonged.”— Western Recorder.
