BANKS ABROAD
American Bankers Plan Gen.
trail European Institution
to Aid Starving.
By MILDRED NORRIS,

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-American
dollars will finance a chain Of banks
in Eastern and Central Europe to
create credit facilities that will re-
store starving thousands to a self
supporting basis.
The first Of the banks, which will
be the central institution Of a system
resembling the Federal Reserve.
will open shortly in Warsaw, Felix
Warburg, head of the Kuhn, Loeb
Company, international banking
firm, announced today, as chairman
of the Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee.
The banks will be cooperative.
The project is regarded as the first
practical step undertaken to rehabil-
itate the most destitute sections OF
Europe and is expected to have far
reaching effects on the commercial
sterilization Of the countries in
volved.
Five million OF the $4,000, 900 fund
now being raised for the starving
Jews Of Europe by the American
Jewish Relief Committee will be
used to finance the initial bank in
Warsaw, Mr.. Warburg announced.
Poland has been divided into
seven zones and in these branches
Of the Central Cooperative Bank
will be established.
AS rapidly as conditions permit
branches will be organized in Russia.
the Ukraine and Rumania.
The Cooperative Bank will make
loans to workers. farmers and small
merchants and viii supply credit to
cooperative groups Of all kinds. A
limit will be placed on the amount
of interest that may be charged.
In no case is 1t to be more than
enough to cover Administration ex-
penses.
Among men OF international
prominence behind the movement,
besides Mr.. Warburg, are Henry
Morgenthau, Oscar s. Straus and
Nathan Straus.

What then IL at stake in the
East, in the Pacific TRACE, In The
business Of Asia, for which all the
nations In the present conference
are striving. for which half n dozen
great powers are contending even
at the risk of war?
For the United States there Is at
stake in the Far East a business
that in 1920 amounted to $2,S5O.OOo.-
900.
American exports to Asia alone
rose from $116,000,000 in the year
before the war to $771 100000 In
1920, and even In the depression OF
last year were SAC, 000. 900, or near
y four times what they were in
1918.
Other countries have been fight
ing tooth and nail not only to pre-
vent any growth Of American bust
ness in the East, but also to get
back the trade already in the hands
Of the American producers. Japan.
for instance. by every means known
to fair and unfair business competi-
ton. by political intrigue and phys
ical violence, has contended against
American business. England has
Joined Japan In competing with the
United States, though using less
harsh and offensive methods.
Business Conference.
The efforts OF these two nations
to deprive America of her Far
Eastern business were put forth
mainly from Tokyo and London up
to last November IL. Since then the
struggle has been carried on in the
conference at Washington. For this
reason the writer has said repeated
ly that the Washington conference
was a business conference. that the
United States must treat It as such
or be hopelessly defeated in the
negotiations and agreements that
accompany 1t.
But the story Is only half told
with the figures Of Americas pres
ent trade in the East. Every other
nation, like every good business
man, looks ahead a few years in Its
commercial calculations, and II
every other nation finds this neces-
sary. why not also the United
States?
The new trade Of the East Is the
new world trade Of the future! That
IL the commonest prediction among
men who make a study OF the
worlds business. The trade OF
China. for example. Is regarded as
a great prize today; yet to a large
extent II is a trade with the people
Of forty-six so-called treaty parts,

bined bank figures show continued
liquidation and recession in the loan
account, but this has been far more
pronounced IN urban and manufac-

ton. although still proceeding, has
been retarded.

wears an official of the Standard Oil
comnanv. He was graduated from
the school of Mines of Columbia as
an electrical engineer in the class OF
1896. and his first interest in the
Droblem of the American Indian came
in 1897, when he was put in charge
of the construction of spur of rail
road which was to connect a mine
near Kingman, Arizona, with the
main line. He used Indians on this
job.
The starting point of his study OF
the Indians, which has resulted in
the collection of nearly 100000
relics. was when he watched Navajo
laborer mending buckskin shirt by
campfire. He bought relics from
the Indians, studied their arts,
watched their rain dances and weird
religious rituals, learned their Ian
guage and began to collect garments,
tools, rattles and other demon-scar-
ing instruments. After finishing his
work in Arizona he toured California
collecting Indian relics.
Returning to New York and join
ing a banking firm, he began to
study the New York tribes of Indians.
Later he made trips to various states
and wherever Indians or their re-
mains were to be found, including the
West Indies and Central and South
America. In twenty-six years he had
built up probably the greatest collec-
ton of its kind ever made.

Powell county recently completed
a fine new courthouse which takes
the place of one of the Oldest houses
of iustice in the state. The old court
house at Deer Lodge, which was torn
down to make room for the new, mao
most interesting history
At the time the first Deer Lodge
court house was built Judge Hiram
Knowles sat on the federal bench,
and o. B. O'Bannon was clerk OF the
third judicial district, which com
prised the counties of Missoula, en-
bracing within it's boundaries nearly
all of western Montana, Deer Lodge
county from which Powell and Gran
lite have since been carved, and Beay-
erhead, which retains the boundaries
the founders of the state made for it
more than so years ago.
The United States district court
was held in Deer Lodge and the cal
endar grew larger from year to year.
The greater part of the indictments
of the grand jury were returned for
murder, manslaughter, drawing
weapons and selling liquor to the
Indians, all typical of early days in
a mining district, where 100000
annually was the estimated output,
and where the editor of the weekly
paper would congratulate the com
munity from time to time that there
had been no killings for that week.
Selling liquor to the Indians was
one of the most frequent offenses,
and the dark-skinned natives we're
often in the courtroom as witnesses,
garbed in the blankets and furs and
feathered headdresses that made
them picturesque figures.
Chief Arlee of the Flatheads, with
others of his tribe, was witness in
one case, where Marengo, half
breed, had been killed by Kuntza,
a Pend d'Oreille, on the Flathead
reservation. When the case was
tried in court a rather unusual situa-
tion developed. The dismissal of the
case was moved on the ground that
Kuntza had been already tried and
punished by the laws of his tribe

Recent Discovery Proves Nothing

Recent Discovery Proves Nothing
The discovery In cave in the mid.
die west reported a few months age
of bones and antlers with mastodons
carved on them, was discussed by
Mr.. Heye, but he said that he had no,
seen the specimens and could form
no conclusions from them as to the
antiquity of man on this continent.
This find was studied by DR.. w. D.
Matthews, who came to the conclu-
sion that this evidence of the asso-
citation of American aborigines with
the extinct elephant species did not
prove anything about the antiquity
of either because the mastodon might
have become extinct on this continent
within the last three or four thous-
and years. 1t might have become ex-
tinct much earlier, but the discovery
did not show definitely in his opin-
ion whether human beings were on
this continent tens of thousands of
years ago, or only a few thousand
years ago.
Mr.. Heye said that while he had
gathered many works in walrus
ivory by American Indians and Es-
kimos, there was no known Indian
work in elephant ivory, and no ivory
from Asia ever reached this contin-
ent in the days before Columbus, as
far as has been discovered. This is
another evidence that there was no
late migration from Asia and no late
communication with Asia, because
carving in ivory was one of the ear
Hest expressions of the artistic in
stinct, and ivory work was well dis
tributed over Asia and Europe long
before the dawn of history.
Mr.. Heye, who made the collec-
ton, was born in New York in 1874,
the son of Gustav Heye, for many

November Is marks the opening
of an institution in New York City
the Museum of the American Indian
in which Montana people will be
greatly interested, for it contains the
most complete and largest collection
of all articles pertaining to the life
and culture of the North American
Indian in existence. Many of these
specimens have been collected in
Montana, for George G. Heye, found
er of the museum, who has spent a
vast sum of money in founding and
endowing the institution, has had a
collector in this state for the past
three years who has bought many
extremely valuable Indian relics.
From the Crow reservation was
an Indian tree burial. The
tree was cut down, the Indian body
and all the trappings were placed in
a boxcar and sent to New York. The
tree has been set up again with the
body in it. This particular Indian
was buried in 1886, and the body was
like an Egyptian mummy.
1t is the only tree burial in any mu-
scum in the world.
The relics found in the Museum OF
the American Indian number 1,800,-
900 and include everything from the
highest art achieved by the Mayas,
Incas and Aztecs to the stone imple-
ments of the Digger Indians, and ex-

for the crime, that the laws of the
United States recognized the tribal
laws of the Indians, and that the
prisoner could not again be placed in
jeopardy for the crime. The court
sustained the motion, the case was
dismissed and Kuntza discharged.
Chief Arlee made a speech during
the trial, which was Interpreted, and
which explains the Indian penalty for
murder and also placed the respon-
sibility on the white man for what
the Indian did when he was drunk.
The old chief, aged, but commanding
of figure, impressed the court and
every one present when he said:
Chief Arlee's Speech
my name is Arlee. am 70 years
old The big chief at Washington
put me on the Flathead reservation
and told me to live there. have
been chief for 10 years. We punish
our people for crimes committed on
the reservation by our own laws.
1.-THE Indian has no written law
for the punishment of Indian Grim
inals; the chiefs keep the laws
through the mouth, they are written
on the heart When an Indian kills
another Indian, chiefs call all of the
other Indians together and send for
the criminal, then the chiefs talk
among themselves, and If the Grim
inal has any horses or other property,
the chiefs sitting in council over him
will take all and give it to the rela-
tives of the man he killed, to the
dead mans wife and children, If he
has them The chief will make a
speech, and tell them not to do that
thing again.
ST know Kuntza He is a Pend
d'Oreille. Long time ago when he
was a little boy the Pend d'Oreille
and the Blackfeet had war, and the
Blackfeet killed Kuntza's parents
and took him. After while we had
a big council and made treaty, and
Kuntza came back big boy.
"I know Marengo, the man Kuntza
killed. He was a half-breed. His
mother was full-blood. After
Kuntza killed Marengo he came and
gave himself up. was in my house.
After we talked, I said: This is our
law, and our peoples law, and we
will punish him ourselves We took
all of Kuntza's horses, and divided
them among Marengo's relatives and
put Kuntza in jail. That is the In
dian law and always has been the
law. Then the agent came and took
Kuntza away; we were afraid of the
white people outside. When an In
dian is drunk and kills another In
dian we don't consider he did any
thing bad. The Indian never had
any whisky until the white man
came here, and we blame the white
people who gave him the liquor.
Humorous incidents also took
place in the old courtroom, and on
one occasion the judge asked the
usual question when pronouncing the
judgment-if the prisoner at the bar
had any reason to show why the
judgment of the court should not be
pronounced against him. The pris-
oner, with unusual volubility, started
to make some statement not exactly
in harmony with the evidence, and
frequently punctuated with the ex-
preston, "God knows" Judge
Knowles heard him through and then
dryly remarked:
well, God may know what you
say is true, but the court doesn't
think it is. Sheriff, remove the pris-
Oner."
