General Greeley Says Alaskan Courts
are Controlled by Wealth.
New York. May 11y-Rules of the
United States Government in Alaska
was criticised severely last night by
MaJor-General Adolphus w. Greedy,
commander of the Northern division of
the United States Army, in an address
before the Geographical Society of Chi
cago.
General Greedy has made several
polar expeditions, on one of which his
party established record for farthest
north, and all but seven of the party
persisted. Within the last two years
he has explored parts of Alaska.
"The same trouble predominates in
Alaska today that characterized the at
titude of the United States towards all
the aborigines with which 1t has come
In contact" said General Greedy; st
never treats them fairly. 1t has put
the Esquimos of Alaska or the Alaskan
Indians on the road to ruin.
1.-TWO years ago the United States
courts were fair. 1t Is a wonder to
me that the entire lot of Government
officials were not hanged by mob law.
] have been in mining camps. where, as
the old saying goes, they hung Ave men
before breakfast for less provocation
than was imposed on the people of
Alaska. The courts were only instru-
ments of private interests"
General Greedy said the "blood-thri1l-
ing" episodes of Alaska described by
certain writer's, are exaggerations.

confined at Pratt mines she was in
great fear of bodily punishment
