American Commission Insists on Rati

BY the Associated Press.
Reports of various plans in Paris
for attaching reservations. oral or
otherwise. to the American-French
debt agreement have failed to evoke
from American officials any indication
whatever that their attitude In regard
TO the settlement has changed.
The position of the American Debt
commission has been without varia-
,lon in insisting on ratification of the
a agreement without modlncatlon.
Reservations. it is believed, would re-
open the whole debt question from
legislative standpoint. inasmuch as
the agreement already has been rati-
fed by the House and is awaiting ac-
ton by the Senate.
II is not clear in the eyes of OBJ
servers here what effect oral reserva-
lions made in the French Parliament,

from commenting on reports that
such a plan might be adopted.

THREE BODIES BUSY
IN HOSPITAL QUIZ
General Accounting Office
May Investigate Other
Institutions.

In its investigation of St. Elizabeth s
Hospital, under authority of con
gresSional resolution, the General Ac.
counting Office, it was learned today
may send some of it's investigators to
visit other hospitals of the country for
purposes of comparison.
When these visits may be made, or
what hospitals may be inspected. has
not as yet been decided, but as the
probe is making substantial progress.
and report must be rendered to the
House by the next session of Congress
in December, it was considered likely
today that decision in the matter will
be made soon.
The investigation has been divided
into two principal parts. financial and
non. financial. and is being carried out
by a force of nine investigators and
ten auditors
Two Distinct Inquiries.
While under the mandate of Con
gress the general accounting office
has proceeded to carry out an inveSti-
CATION of exceedingly broad scope.
it was emphasized by officials of that
office today that the purely medical
phases of the institution are being
left to the special committee of super
intendents of hospitals for the insa ne,
recently appointed by Secretary of the
Interior Work This committee of
eminent medical specialists is also
working at the hospital, but entirely
separately from the general account
ing office workers.
Two District Inquiries.
The preliminary part of the Gen
oral Accounting Offipo Sllryov il &
learned involved the survey Of per-
sonnel. and a study of the records of
the institution. Both the employed
and patient personnel will be
thoroughly investigated by Controller
General McCarl's men.
Several letters have been received,
it was learned today, from various per-
sons having an interest in the mat
ter. Most of the letters have come
from patients. it was said. These
have been followed up by the in
vestigators, who have been disclosing
the history of each person. in order
to determine the true value of his or
her testimony.
Personal Interviews Held
Not only records themselves have
been gone into in comprehensive
fashion, but there have been numer-
Gus personal conferences between the
investigators and any of the persons
on the big reservation who may he
able to throw additional light on the
matter.
SO far the conferences with officials
have been purely informal and, ac-
cording to the investigators. hospital
officials have co-operated fully in the
matter of making available all ma
terial desired.
Later on, it may become desirable
in the course of the investigation. it
was said. to formally subpoena some
Of the officials and hold hearings,
with witnesses under oath. This,
however. will be a later development
and will be in executive session
In addition to the investigation by
McCarl's forces and the committee of
medical experts, the Veterans Bureau
is making a further investigation of
it's own at st. Elizabeths to determine
how many of it's benefciaries there
may be in such condition that they
may be transferred to soldiers homes
for domiciliary care, instead of hos
pital care.

ST. PAUL, October 6.-Close
friends here of the late James J. Hill,

they knew nothing of Hills reputed
offer to underwrite $10,000,000 cam
paign fund If the Democrats would
nominate Grover Clevela nd in 1904, as
reported Monday in news dispatch
from Buffalo.

such an offer" declared Joseph Gilpin

thor of the Life of James J. Hill"
Other associates of the Northwest
empire builder also disclaimed any
knowledge of such a tendency on Mr..
Hills part.
Charles VI. Armitage. writing in
Grover Cleveland as Buffalo Knew
Him." says that Hills offer was an
outgrowth of the railroad magnates
aversion to Theodore Roosevelt. The
author points out that Hill sought to
have Cleveland run for a third term
rather than have a comparatively un-
known candidate run against Teddy.

HAWES AGAIN PLEADS FOR
 STATE FOREST OWNERSHIP
Like Red Flag and Bull

I have found that as soon as mention public ownership. 1t has the same effect as waving a red flag in front Of bull. Immediately people begin to disagree with me. You must remember that public ownership of forests is something entirely differ ent than public ownership of rail- roads or public utilities. We have found that privately owned forests are a paying investment, but that it is a slow wait for any profits. For this reason investors in forests draw their money out and neglect their land just when it would begin to produce results. A 50-year wait for returns on an investment does not their money into forests. and for this reason a state department created for the care and development of the forests with legislation to guarantee the carrying on of the work obtains more results than private ownership.
 What Department Needs
 "The Connecticut forestry depart ment needs many things. It needs more men and lookouts and fire : fighting equipment such as is used in Vermont and Massachusetts. Fire protection is as needed to the for est owner as it is to the city prop erty owner, and at present the state is not equipped to give the service. The forests are necessary for wild life and wood supply. and some leg islation should care for the fire pro- lection needs of the state."
 MT. Hawes went on to point out the public preserves which exist in the state, giving an idea Of the work being done in them. He invited the members of the club to visit the for csts and added that any dead wood they might want to chop up IS at their disposal gratis. As the pre- serves are for the enjoyment of the citizens Of the state, he urged the members to take advantage of the i forests in communing with nature.

ASKS JUSTICE FOR
 AMERICAN INDIAN
Chief Strongheart Urges Reco6-
 milton for His Brothers.

An appeal for justice for the Red Man and for the same educational and political privileges as are &C., corded other citizens, was made last night at gathering in Odd Fellows hall, by Chief Nipo Strongheart. a native of the Yakima reservation. Washington.
 Strongheart, a full- -blooded Indian, is touring the country in the inter- Iests of remedial legislation to raise the standards of life and education among his fellow men. He is a graduate of Carlisle college and has also attended Simcoe school. His was the first application for Roose- velt's proposed division of Indian soldiers for service i'll France, and in civil life perhaps his most inn portant deed has been a successful campaign for the American Indian Citizenship bill, passed i'll 1924.
 In great measure, his work was responsible for the fact that 18,000 Indian soldiers and 16 Indian Red Cross nurses served in the World war; S39,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds were purchased by the red skins. and immense stocks of wool were turned over to the government from the western reservations.
 l Chief Strongheart urges abolition of the reservation and the Indian schools to allow his fellow men to mingle and thereby learn the cus- toms of their white brothers. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, conducted by the government at a cost Of s15,- 000.000 a year. throws upon the government an eXorbitant cost which would be overcome if the Indians were allowed to participate In gov ernment, and little or no lasting good comes of it, Chief Strongheart claims.
 The Indian chief traced for his audience last night the history of his race from the primitive days, telling of its legends. superstitions. life and customs up to the present day. He explained he had been moved to tour the country when, at Camp Devens, he saw foreigners being given the

But It's Like Waving Red Flag in Front of Bull, He Says at Meeting of Ex- change Club.

Austin F. Hawes. state forester and president of the National Asso- citation Of Foresters. addressed the Exchange club last evening at its regular weekly meeting held at the Burritt hotel.
 Mr. Hawes emphasized the point that although this state and New England in general contains three and one-tenth of an acre per capita of timber land. and that eight-tenths of an acre per capita has been found sufficient to make country self supporting in timber lines. so per cent of the timber used in this state is imported. TWo-dfths Of the tim Der imported comes from the Paci- fic coast. two-fifths from the Gulf coasts and one-fifth form the north- eastern states. With the tariff and freight charges added to the original price of tho timber the prices have scared. and although Connecticut could use home grown timber with proper care of the forests, builders are paying high prices for imported wood that Is left here to grow un- cared for.
 New England Is now going through an interesting experience in timber production" MT. Hawes stat ed, ''as this portion of the country is reverting back to timber after being cleared and left to grow again. and as there is 60 per cent of the entire acreage covered by timber, Connecticut will soon contain 30 per cent timber land. Connecticut tim bef can grow as high and as we'll grained as any imported timber if it is given time Protection must be afforded from the gypsy moth, the Spanish bug worm and recurrence of the disastrous chestnut blight. And 1t Is for that reason that I ad- vocate public ownership of the for osts.
