He admitted that he had certain financial interests at stake in Mexico but said that his in1 estment had nothing to do with the course of action being followed by the committee.
 Regarding his Mexican interests, he said that he owns $75,000 worth of stock in mines which he acquired several years ago Beyond that stock he said that he owned no Mexican property. From a personal stand point, he said that he was disinter- ested in the matter.

For this purpose, an invitation was recently sent to Luis Cabrera, secretary of treasury in Carranzas cabinet, to appear before the committee.

KOYUKUK NATIVES CANNOT GET FOOD;
 DOGS ARE KILLED

According to mail advices re- 'ceived in Fairbanks, the natives of the Koyukuk country are having a hard time of it this winter, owing to the scarcity of game, and it is believed that actual suffering will result unless relief is forthcoming from some source. There is not sufficient game in the district for meat, it is claimed, and fur animals are so scarce that the natives have been unable to replenish their out fits by means of trading. The situ ation, according to the letter re- Iceived, is very serious, especially on the South Fork.
 The situation is aggravated by reason of the inability of the na- 'tives to catch the usual amount of salmon last fall. The fish ordinarily sufficed for dog feed and helped ma terially to tide the natives over, but this winter it has been necessary to kill many of the dogs.
 Similar conditions, it is said, ex. ist in other sections of the Interior country. Quite early in the winter the Toklat natives were out of food, several families, including very young children, having neither food nor clothing to tide them over the cold weather. Some relief was sent to them by the local mission, and, just before the holidays, a number |of young lady employees of the Alaskan Engineering commission contributed to fund to extend additional relief.
 Shortly after the holidays, an ap- peal for assistance was received by Game Warden Foster from natives in the Minto district, and in his travels over the country he has found villagers in other sections very much in need of food.
 TboSa conditions are attributed to the fact that the natives were un- able last summer to obtain their usual supply of salmon, owing to the operation of the cannery at the mouth of the Yukon. The shortage iof fish has necessitated the slaughter 'of many dogs during the winter and has reduced the natives themselves to actual want. :..:.::
