PRESIDENT GREETS
 VISITING NEWSMEN
Coolidge Makes Welcoming
 Speech at Convention

Washington, April tPl--Presi- dent Coolidge, in addressing today the first par. American congress Of journalists which assembled at the Pan American Union, urged that the gatherings be held frequently as q means of drawing together the peoples of the western hemisphere.
 Speaking Of tho increased inter change Of news among the Ameri- can nations Tn recent years, Mr, Coolidge declared this awakening Of interest had been "one Of the most important factors In bringing about q better understanding" of the several countries.
 '1 venture the prediction" he added that as result of this congress the papers in the United states in the future will present more complete and more accurate pictures Of the cultural and in1us- trial progress Of Latin America, and that the press Of those rcpub- lies will give to their readers T better understanding of the ideals and purposes Of the United States. If all our citizens here do not yet realize fully that Latin Ameri- ca is as progressive as the United states; and if some Latin Amcri- cans, as have been told IS the case, are prone to feel that this country Is interested in material things alone, I am sure 1t may be explained by the lack of that knowledge which comes from per sonal contact through travel and hy the mutual inadequacy of news reports o' the significant facts and developments tu the respective countries"
 i The congress Mir. Coolidge said should result in better compro- . hension that, after all, we o' the western hemisphere are ono people striving for g common purpose. animated by common ideals and bound together in 8, common des- ,iny, Unto us has been boqueathed the precious heritage and the high obligation of developing and con- .rcr0ting a new world 10 the great raGSc Of humanity"
 Spraking particularly 70 the d'lcgatos present from other coun- tries Mir. Coolidge expressed thc hope that their visit to this conn fry twill bc beneficial 10 you by reason of what you may learn ol cur general mode Of lfc"
 In referring 10 the ideals and 'he purposes 0 the Pan American Union he said tic newspapers may do much 10 emphasize and mako more effective the efforts 0! this organization to bring tho t'nitn,i States and the Latin Amer. jeau rcpublics into closer bonds oI mutual helpfulness.

 which lie between the lands occupied by the natives and the limits of low tide of Tongass Narrows be reserved under the Act of May 14, 1898, 30 Stat. L. 4O9, Sec. 10, copy of which is attached and marked exhibit 2.
 Thereafter and on November 3, 1910, patent was signed by the President of the United States, recorded patent number 159949, granting to Charles E. Ingersoll, as townsite trustee, the title for the lands embraced in U. s. Survey No. 437, being the townsite of Ketchikan, Alaska, generally as shown up- on the blueprint map herewith, marked Map No. 1, in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupants of said town site, including the Ketchikan Indians then residing on the tracts and lots of upland around the mouth of said Ketchikan Creek.
 That in pursuance to the law said Ingersoll caused the said townsite to be surveyed in lots and blocks and conveyed by deed the various tracts of land or lots in said townsite to the white settlers, but in accord ance with the instructions of the Department of the Interior, General Land Office, no such conveyance was made to the various Indian occupants, and none has been made by said Ingersoll to any Indian oc- cupant to this date: the rule and instruction in such cases is stated at page Y, Circular of Instructions relating to the acquisition of title to public lands in the Territory of Alaska, approved July 19, 1916, as fol- lows:

meeting called Judge Wicker sham, for many years a federal judge in Alaska, and for 12 years the delegate to Congress from Alaska, into consultation. These Natives were protesting against the "red light" district which existed in their very midst, with the full knowledge of the city officials of Ketchi- kan and the U s. Marshal's office.
 At the request of these Ma tives, who met in the Salvation Army in Ketchikan, and after hearing and seeing the evidence, Judge Wickersham wrote letter to the Hon. Harlan Stone, then the Attorney General of the United States, the pertin- ent portions of which are print ed below
 Letter Not To Sander
 The letter was not written to islander all of Alaska, but was to inform the proper officials of the United States of condi- tions that existed and to ask for protection for Natives who were appealing to their govern ment
 The Hearst reporter got copy of this letter and quoted portion of it verbatim for the headlines of that article of last March 18th which the Mar quamites call "slanderous" and for which they have blamed Dan Sutherland.
 Sutherland Not The Author
 Of Attacks
 Dan Sutherland was not in any way responsible for the "slanderous" article. He knew nothing about the letter Judge Wickersham wrote, until copy was sent him, and was not responsible for it. James Wickersham told the simplo truth in his letter and the Hearst paper did not overstate the facts about Ketchikan.
 The Charges
 The charges (repeated by Hearst) are simple, 1st that the vice or "redlight" district of Ketchikan is on government land. This means that the vice district is on tide lands. Tn

 December 2, 1924 Hon. Harlan Stone,
 Attorney General of the Unit
 ed States,
 Washington, D. C. Sir;
 Subject; Appeal of Ketchi- kan Indians to the Attorney General to protect their pro- perty rights on trust, tide and reserved lands at Ketchikan, Alaska, and to eject the Red Light District" the prostitutes, pimps, bootlegging joints and narcotic vedors from Govern ment lands there.
 General Statement
 Ketchikan Creek empties in- to the Tongass Narrows in the center of the town of Ketchi- kan, Alaska. This creek is a natural salmon stream, and from time inmemorial the Indians gather on the beach and up- land of both shores of this creek to take salmon for their family use.
 Some 30 years ago the white people began to settle here, and from time to time since that date have pushed the na- tives farther and farther away until now the Indians are struggling for their last foot hold.
 In 1903 the Department of the Interior sent a special .n- spector, James w. Whitten, to view the situation and report; Under date of June 28, 1903, he made a full report to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, copy of which Is attached herewith.
 Based on that report, and on August 5, 1903, the Acting Secretary of the Interior, Thos. Ryan, ordered that "all of the

Creek and Hanford, was announced
Thursday by the department Of public
works, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Olympia. Failure
to file an insurance policy or surety

action, but r. A. Moore Of Yakima,
head of the company, asserted Thurs
day night the action was in error.
When interviewed Thursday night
Moore said he had not bsen notified
of the action, and that the news Of the
cancellation of the certificate was a

and there was probability that some
mistake had been made.
