INDIAN ANCESTRY
UNDER INVESTIGATION
Effort to Prove That Our AbOr-
lOGneS Game Across Bering
Sea From Asia.

Tacoma, May 5.--Leaving Nome on
January 10, Judge Wickersham and
Guide Louis Lane, made an important
and interesting trip OF scientific research
to Eskimo tribes living at Cape Prince
OF Wales.
For twenty years Judge Wickersham m
has been authority regarding the Gus
toms of Pacific coast aborigines. Pre-
vious research had convinced him that
the North American Indians are de.
cendents of Mongolians who were
waited across the Pacific ocean in junks
or othei small craft by ocean currents.
His trip to Cape Prince of Wales enab-
led him to obtain additional facts tend :
ing to prove the reliability Of this theory
For nearly month he lived among
the Eskimos, close observer OF their
customs, while he investigated their
legends. Appreciating the Importance
of his official position, the Esximos de.
voted themselves to his entertainment
They loaded him down with cnrios, some
of which are rare and will be sent to the
Smithsonian institution. AT Cape Prince
of Wales he could LOOK across Bearing
Straits and see land in Asia. He ven.
tured out to the edge of solid ice, three
miles from shore. Judge Wickersham
suggests that biograph picture show
ing the ice foes moved northward by
ocean currents would make a most in
teresting sight, though lacking the awe
insiring sound OF the ice pack grinding
against the solid ice.
