ed in the village, and the
number in trapping camps
has not been determined.
Two other prospective
cases of mumps have been
noted, and two cases of
chicken pox, three mess
ages to the Bur. of Indian
Affairs stated, which indi
cated a possibility that as
sistance in caring for the
natives would be required.
Mrs. Greist was respon
sible for the wires. She is
the wife of Dr. Henry W.
Greist, who is now at Wain
wright.
Dr. Greist recently criti
cized officials for an alleg
ed failure to aid the nativ
es in this area.
Mrs. Greist made a sur
vey of the village Tuesday
and reported finding many
families without fuel or
meat. She said the Mission
was feeding children of
quarantined families. Dr.

Juneau, Feb. 12, — A
wireless message from the
school superintendent at
Barrow, Frank Daugherty,
to Charles W. Hawkeswor
th, head of the Alaska bur-1
eau of the Office of Indian
Affairs, said that reindeer
meat is available to all at
Barrow.
The Eskimos were told
they could have plenty of
fuel if they would haul it
to the village.
Daugherty said that j
“conditions are being over-1
drawn, as they were last
May. Dr. Greist is at Wain
wright. The natives have
been taught to eat little
meat, and plenty of the
white man’s food. During
this sickness I am doing all
possible to cooperate. Greist
conferring with Chas Brow
er, trader, is making a com
plete survey.”
Daugherty has been ad
vised to share the school
fuel with those in need, if
conditions warrant. He also
mentioned a few cases of
mumps among the natives.

Evidence On Colt
(By The Associated Press)

From the files of the Colts

the Senate Munitions Com
mittee produced a letter
from the Fabrique Nation

places”; “seek to delay ap
pointment of American del
egations to 1925 conference
for limitation in traffic of
war materials.”
me i^ons company re
plied “unwise to approach
state department” on sub
ject, the best course is to
“let sleeping dogs lie.”
The Belgian company said
that the same communica
tion was sent to the Rem
ington Arms Co.
These developments in
the inquiry followed a brief
investigation into the Army
Ordnance Association in
which was produced among
other things, a suggestion
from a British Army offic
er that a judicious bribery
appeal “was the fairest of
the fair ladies”, and could
be combined effectively
with the sale of munitions.
Senator Nye condemned
such munitions sales and
practices as “something
more than corrupt.”
