WASHINGTON, March 3.-General
Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the
army, is on his way to Utah to at
tempt a peaceful settlement with re-
calctrant Piutes who are defying
United States Marshal Nebeker's
posse. Scott has a long record not
only as an Indian fighter but also
as a mediator among the Indians,
whose dialects he speaks, and whose
habits he knows thoroughly.
War department officials say he
has more influence with the Indians
of the west than any other white
man. Scott plans to go to Morrison,
Utah. and there, with small party
strike into the mountains on horse
back for a distance of 40 miles,
through the snow. Practically un-
armed, he expects to enter the camp
Of the outlaw Indians and induce
them to give up one of their leaders
wanted for murder.
After conferences between officials
of the war department, the depart
ment of justice and the interior de
partment it was decided to ask Scott
to undertake the mission. About 4
