ESKIMO BONES. NOT OLD ONES
 II IS CLAIMED
More Interesting SideIights From an Official Source on Digging Up ''Pre-
 historic Remains

Some time ago the Associated Press carried a news story with a Nome date line telling of the finding of an Eskimo igloo near Point Bar. row by a scientist from the Univers- | ity of Pennsylvania. In this old igloo, which it was claimed no natives knew how long it had been deserted. the scientist claimed to have found
 many frozen bodies. He claimed that there was every indication that the
 bodies were of people who had lived several hundred years ago and that their features and the shape of their heads differed from the modern Els lImos. e 2afs4 As an echo of this story the office of the Secretary of Alaska received g very interesting letter from D. w.
 Cram, who is commissioner at Point Barrow. Mir. Cram addresses his
 letter to the Registrar of Vital Statis- tics for the Territory which office is also included in the Secretary's duties.
 MT Cram incloses letter which
 he wrote to the Marshal at Nome
 asking if there was nothing that could be done to stop a man by the name of w. B. Van Valin from ship
 ping the bones of about 20 long-dead
 Eskirnos from the Territory and also
 asking if 1t was not contrary to the
 statutes to dig up dead bodies.
 alc ho on af fdavit signed by one Bert Panigio who said in part that he guided one w. B. Van Valin who claimed to be a scientist from the University of Penn sylvania to an igloo about eight miles southeast from, Point Barrow and at this place they dug up the bones of about 20 bodies. This occurred on
 the tenth of last July. The bones were placed in sacks and taken by dog sled to Point Barrow and were to
 be shipped out of the Territory as
 curios. He said that to the best of
 his knowledge none of the men help Ii ing in digging up the bodies had
 received a permit to do so. =
 There is law which makes if a
 felony to dig up corpse without
 getting permit in the, Territory
 Whether this law will apply when
 the digging up is done for scientific
 purposes is not known. but 1t is like | ly that the matter will be taken up 1 by the district attorney having juris- diction over that part of the country The commissioner in his letter or
 the man helping to do the digging
 said nothing about the bodies being
 in state of preservation or about
 the village being prehistoric. bu,
 they just seemed to think they were
 plain every day dead Eskimos who
 had died in the ordinary course of events.

THAT TEXAS REQUEST.

Congressman Hudspeth of Texas is
out for intervention. He wants the
United States to protect the lives and
property of Americans in Mexico. In
this attitude Mr.. Hudspeth is merely
following the declaration of the dem
ocratc national platform on which
President Wilson was elected. One
paragraph of the platform follows:
THE constitutional rights of Amer
lean citizens should protect them on
our borders and go with them
throughout the world, and every Am
erican citizen residing or having
property in any foreign country is
entitled to and must have the full
protection of the United States gov
eminent, both for himself and his
property"
Not only has this provision been
totally disregarded. but even Ameri-
can soldiers were ordered to retire
from the border, where they were To-
Gated for protection of American
