great disappointment that this depart
ment learns OF the renewal
OF the unlawful invasion OF

sons, Whatever be the name or title under
which they are banded or organized,
. this will make the government more
CAUTIOUS IN any future dealings with

j and If he does go without q permit he
/. would be guilty Of an open violation OF
law.
