Dr. Sunden said on August 13 he was instructed by District At- torney Fitts to examine Miss Prin- gle. This was four days after the alleged attack. Dr. Sunden said he found no indications of attack Zlaket, who testified to a con- ference with Pantages before the trial, said he saw Nicholas Duneav, | playwright, many times at Miss Pringle’s home at Garden Grove. The defense had tried to prove that Duneav and the girl had plan- ned to blackmail Pantages. When asked how he knew was Duneav, Zlaket said: “Well, I_hadymy own opinion. { Later-Hehamplified the reply saying: gl “Pantages told me it was Du eav.” Zlaket admitted he had talked with Pantages at the theatre man’'s home after the alleged attack. - e —— it g e Ew Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Republican Congresswoman from Massachu setts, had the signal honor of being the first woman speaker of the Houst when she received of Representatives, Speaker Longworth tr rroal HEIRESS TO iijlfstir\“’oxfifizl b’pcai;f;r of the Hou;e SEVEN MILLIC $40 A WEEK JOB ON STAGE BECAUSE PUBLIC INFORMED AS TO WHO SHE 1S Waits for Verdict 2| She announced late yesterday af- | | PARKS TO HAVE SUPERVISIONOF DEER INDUSTRY Commissioner Cooper Rec- ommends Transfer of Administration Transfer of the supervision of the reindeer administrative activities of | the Department of the Interior from the Federal Bureau of Edu- | cation to the Governor of Alaska, | has been recommended to Secretary Wilbur by William John Cooper, United States Commissioner of |§ Education, according to Associated Press despatches received today by | The Empire. The Commissioner | asked that the change become ef- fective November 1. Gov. Parks said today he had not been officially advised of the Com- missioner’s action, but in semi-offi- cial correspondence had knowledge of the plan. However, he added, the policy of the Department with regard to the reindeer industry would be officially promulgated by Secretary Wilbur. Increase Is Enormous Since reindeer were first import- ed to Alaska from Siberia, in 1892, the Bureau of Education has been in control of the animals owned by the Eskimos and Indians, and set- tled questions affecting grazing, grazing lands, sale of animals and others of vital importance to the growing industry. Between 1852 and 1902 ,1,280 deer were brought | to Alaska from Russia. In the 27 years since 1902, it is estimated the animals have increased almost 1,- 000,000. And in addition many thousands have been killed by the aboriginal owners for food and clothing, and by them and other owners for shipment to States’ markets. The present Administration is apparently about ready to remove some of the restrictions heretofore imposed on the owners. Already one significant step has been taken in this direction, A recent an- nouncement was made by the In- terior Department that a regulation vrohibiting the sale of female deer by the Indian and Eskimo own- ers has been changed.
