of the Act Of 1889. He further
attempted to convince the Com.
mittee that the Red Lake banc of
Indians was a seperate and distinct
band and that the rest of the
Chippewas in Minnesota had no
right to participate in any part of

timber.thereon. He declared that
ths re was no need Of a Commission
to make rolls and determine the
competency of the Minnesota
Chippewas as proposed in the
Ellsworth bill, sitting that that
had already been done, and in
short he objected to everything
that the General Council proposed
for the welfare of the Chippewa
people.
Mr.. Ellsworth was given twelve
minutes in which to answer and in
that short. period of time, ably
defended bis bill in its present
form and defended the status of

Assistant Commissioner Merritt
told the Committee that he could
prepare a bill that would satisfac-

legislation, and the Committee
gave him one week in which TO do
so.
The Assistant Commissioner of

On Saturday, December 18th,
the House Committee on Indian
Affairs resumed the hearings On
the Ellsworth Bill which is now

Grafton. Soon after the hearings
opened MIR. Harold Knutson,' a
member of the Minnesota delega-
ton in Congress, appeared before
the committee and interposed
general objection to the bill as.
whole, on behalf of his constitu.
ents, the Red Lake Indians. He
declared that the legislation pro-
posed in the bill was another
scheme whereby the numbering
interests of the state of Minnesota
would be permitted to steal the
valuable stands of piue timber ON
the Red Lake reservation. Sight.
ing the big timber steal by the
Shevl'n numbering interests of the
state of Minnesota upon the White
Earth reservation, he declared
that he intended to fight any legis.
]ation that would tend to bring
about a repetition of that scandal.
He was very forcifully answered
by Congressman Ellsworth and bis
argument fell flat when it was
shown by MIR. Ellsworth that the
timber upon che Red Lake reser-
walton t. which MIR. Knutson re-
ferred and which it was his pur-
pose to save and retain for the
sole use and benefit of the Red
Lake Indians, was in fact sold and

ing cut BY them. That only a
small portion of the Red Lake
timber remains unsold and since
this is now being cut by the gov
eminent the result is that when
the tims comes to allot the Red
Lake Indians it will be necessary
to hand them a stump allotment.
Knutson then talked at random
and tried to attack the rights oil
the General COUNCIL but his re:
marks were 80 far-fetohed and
wild that he made no impression
upon the committee.
During the course of his wild
remarks be made the imaginary
statement that there was litigation

stopped by tue Chairman of the
Committee and the Chairman H.
quired Of Webster Ballinger if he
knew of any such litigation. Mr..
Ballinger IN making answer to the
Chairman stated that he knew of
no such litigation. Mr.. Knutson
then made a sluring remark direct
ed at Mr.. Ballinger which only
served to show the narrow caliber
of the man and the misuse of the
trust imposed upon him by the
good citizens of bis district in the
State of Minnesota. After talk.
ing at random for some time in an
effort to prejudice the minds of
the committee by stamping as

Chippewas and all the numbering
interests of Minnesota, he ATTEMPT

escape being called on his state

manded of the Chairman that. he
wanted to answer Mr.. Knulson
and that he wanted him to remain
in the committee room. The
Chairman sustained Mr.. Ellis

mittee desired that be, Mr.. Knut-

session of 256,0O0 acres of the

sofa. The Act of 1904 and the
Act of 1916, thus confering special
benefits upon the Red Lake band
who constitute under the law only
a small part of the Chippewa
people, is in direct violation IF the
Act of 1889, which clearly pro-
vides for the session of all the
residue Chippewa Indian lands in
the State of Minnesota except that
which was necessary for allotment
purposes, and the proceeds deriv-
ed from the sale of all such land
and the timber thereon to be
placed in the Treasury of the
United States, in a common fund
to the credit of all the Chippewas
of Minnesota. 1t was shown that
while the Red Lake Indians have
been receiving each year as high
as $118 per capita as annuity, for
the last ten years, the other Chip
pewas of the state have received
the paltry sum of $18.17 per CAPT.

ported by the Indian Bureau and
it's allies, are attempting to op.
pose the Ellsworth bill because it
proposes to put this. Red Lake
matter in the Court of Claims for
final adjudication.
The Inconsistency of Knutson is
all the more pronounced when it
comes to light that the very inter-
ests in the State of Minnesota that
are responsible for his success III
the last election, are the very in
terests which he referred to when
he stamps the personnel of these
interest as robbers and thieves. 1t
was only few weeks ago that he
was honored by the company of
one of the officials of the Shevelin-
Carpenter Lumber Company of
Minnesota on a trip to Cuba, and
now he comes before Committee
of Congress anc openly accuses
the members of this very Company
of being thieves and robbers.
Mr.. Stevenson ALSO appeared
before the Committee and in a
disconnected and malicious state
ment attempted to condemn the
General Council of the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota and under
took to show how the officers of
the Council were allied with the
big numbering interests in the
State of Minnesota and together
with said interests we're planning
to rob and loot the property of
the ignorant Indians; that the

wounds received when a pet monkey
attacked him early In October, the
King being badly mutilated.
The death of King Alexander gives
rise to the question Of succession to
the Greek throne. Former King Con-
stantine was reported, according to
Swiss dispatches Of October II. as in
tending to take advantage Of the situa-
ton created by his sons grave illness,
by returning to Greece and claiming
the throne.
1t is probable that the old chamber
will be reconvened, owing to the kings
death. to consider what steps are to
be taken before the new chamber
meets.
Alexander succeeded to the throne
Of Greece In June. 1917. when his
father, King Constantine. abdicated In
response to the demand of France.
Great Britain and Russia, the three
powers which had guaranteed the con-
stitutional liberties of the Greek peo-
pie. Alexander was the second son
Of Constantine and at the time Of his
accession was not quite "a years old.
His elder brother, Grown Prince
George, was considered ineligible for
German sympathies.
Alexander took the oath of office
at Athens In August. 1917, and promis-
ed to carry out the policy Of his father.
This was said to have shocked the
entente powers. It soon was reported
that he was at odds with Premier
Venizelos and had refused to abandon
his idea Of continuing his fathers pro-
gram. Some doubts were raised as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of permitting him
to assume the throne unless he dis
continued what was characterized as
an obstructive policy.
Reports Of lack of harmony between
Alexander and Venizelos were circu-
lated In the spring Of 1920, but the
premier disposed of these in state
ment in which he paid tribute to the
kings patriotism. One respect In
which the king and his premier were
said to have been at odds was over
the kings morganatic marriage to
Mile. Manos, daughter of former
aide-de-camp to his father, which Is
said to have taken place In November
1919. No record of the marriage was
obtainable, owing to the fact that II
was not recorded with the metropol
itan Of Athens, the supreme ecclesi
astical authority of Greece.

NOTED IRISH LEADER
DIES FROM HUNGER
LORD MAYOR MAcsWINEY PASSES
AWAY IN ENGLISH PRISON ON
sEvENTY-THIRo DAY.
Began Hunger Strike on August II.
When, With Ten of His Associates,
He Was Arrested on the Charge
Of Sedition.

London.-Terence MacSwiney. lord
mayor of Cork. died at Brixton prison
Monday morning. October %, follow
ing a hunger strike OF seventy-three
days.
The story Of the self-starvation of
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork. probably will become one of the
most moving chapter of the centuries
long history of the Irish struggle. No
other controversy has stirred Great
Britain so deeply as this since the
one that conferred upon Cecil Rhodes,
when the Jameson raid was baked by
Paul Kruger and the raiders impris-
Oned.
MacSwiney's hunger strike was be-
gun on August II when, with ten of
his associates, he was arrested by SOL
diers in Cork. while attending a ses-
sion Of Sim Fein court. After trial
by a courtmartial under the regula.
tons of the Defence Of the Realm act.
ne was found guilty of sedition and
sentenced to two years Imprisonment,
which he was serving in Brixton pris-
on in London.
MacSwiney, then an alderman of
Cork, was elected lord mayor of the
city at special session of the Cork
corporation on March 30 of this year.
He was a well-known Sim Fein leader
and, prior to his election. had been
deported and imprisoned several times,
one Of the latest notable instances of
his confinement having been in 1915,
in connection with the Irish Easter re-
volt.
When arrested on August u, Mac
Swiney managed to escape to the
street from the back of the city hall,
which soldiers had surrounded but was
captured outside. He was taken to
the military barracks and came up for
trial on August 16. The courtmartial
found him guilty of having control of
the secret police cipher, Of having in
his possession document likely to
cause disaffection, namely, copy OF
resolution of the Cork corporation
pledging allegiance to Dali Eireann
the Irish Republican parliament, and
of having made seditiOus speech or
the occasion of his election.
Already weak at the trial because
of his refusal to take food, MacSwiney
disputed the jurisdiction of the court
saying: 81 am the lord mayor of this
city and it's chief magistrate. declare
this court illegal and those taking par
in it liable to arrest under the law:
of the Irish republic"
The day following the trial, Lore
Mayor MacSwiney was deported to En-

heavy military escort, and was LODGED
in Brixton Jail. The government an
