THE INQUIRY BEGUN. II 4
TO LEARN THE TRUTH OF THE
CHARGES AB0UT THE ALASKANS.

A Number OF witnesses Summoned to-
Testify-Two Special Agents Give Com.
tradictory Eyidence-But There Is Evil
IDENTIFY Something Wrong UP There
Lack of Discipline and Loose Morals.
WAsHINGToN, December 19.-The House
committee on marine and fisheries met to-
day TO investigate the Alaskan seal fisher
les, aud 20 take up charges as to the i'll
treatment OF Indian women in Alaska.
The sergeant-at-arms OF the House far
nished the following list Of witnesses sum-
.moned ali anrlerrtood -. have beer in

Company: II. H. Mcintyre, West Raj.

DR.. Lutz, San Francisco.
VIM. Gavitt, special treasury agent t
the Seal Islands, testified that the Alaska
Company's agents at ST. Georges Island re.
spect neither the laws OF God nor man.
Among other things he said they furnished
liquors to prostitutes in an underhanded
manner. The witness said the whole is-
land was a place OF prostitution from one
end to the other. An agent OF the com.
pany had declared he would break a mans
head if he refused to bring his (the mans 81
wife to him. Witness said further he would
rather serve team in the penitentiary
than to go through what he and his wife
had
EXPERIENCED ON THIS ISLAND.
In conclusion he admitted he did not
not know OF any case OF criminal assault
ON native women by the agents OF the
Alaska Company.
George Wardman, special agent at the
island of st. George from 1881 to 1884
said he never knew a woman or girl upon
the island to be outraged, or a man or boy
to be abused by the coDpany's agents, nor
did he ever know OF a native woman living
in the company's house with one ST the en-
ployes. He never saw anything which would
lead him to believe the company's house
was converted into house of ill-fame.
r. f. Ryan, another special agent of the
government at the Island of st. George
from 1885 to 1887, attributed the
LACK OF DISCIPLINE AND LOOSE MORALS
OF the Island of st. George party to the
improper conduct and neglect of duty o
some of the government agents which was
in turn initiated by the agents Of the com
pany. The witness formulated rules for
bidding females on the island from visiting
thecompany's and thegovernmeuts honses,
but Tingle, his superior officer, had de.
clared such a rule null. 1T was impossible
to imagine what influenced him to do this
as the order was issued in the interests o
law and decency.

such harvesting would make Il Dakota
