COURT APPEALS SAYS PAUL " AS NOT IN CONTEMPT
Circuit Judges Reverse Judge Harding in Famous Ketchikan Contempt Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals reversed the order of the District Court of the First Division of Alaska for adjudging William L. Paul, Ketchikan attorney, guilty of contempt of court on two counts. The court was acting on an appeal of Paul from the District Court Paul had represented to the Court in behalf of a client that the lat ter had been deprived of his prop erty in the Commissioner Court at Craig, without due process of law. representing that he had beer arrested for illegal fishing and that the District Attorney had threat ened that if he did not plead guilty and pay a fine his boat and other equipment would be confiscated.
 Judge Justin w. Harding, who had been the District Attorney complained of, charged that Paul had made untrue statements in be- half of his client, in his petition for writ of review in the case, and was guilty of contempt therefor. Paul was sentenced to serve 35 days in jail or pay a fine of $75.
 The second count involved state ments alleging to be untrue in an affidavit of prejudice filed by Paul in seeking trial before another Judge in the same case. Judge Harding held Paul to be in con- tempt and ordered that he pay a fine of $1O0 or serve 50 days in jail.
 Tt would certainly be an innova- tion of law" the Circuit Court pointed out, in an opinion handed down, s ..n attorney could he summarily punished for contempt whenever a statement made by him in behalf of his client after investi- gation turned out untrue"

INDIANS PLAN SUITS AGAINST
 UNITED STATES
A. N. B. Employs Judge Wickersham and Others
 to Initiate Actions

Suits against the Federal Gov errment are contemplated by the Alaska Native Brotherhood seeking to recover compensation for certain rights claimed to have been held at one time by Alaska Indians but which have passed into other hands. Millions of dollars are un- derstood to be at stake in the pro- posed actions which involve lands, fishing streams and waters, hunt ing and trapping grounds, forests and mineral lands.
 This was made known here off cially today by William L. Paul President of the Brotherhood, who with Mrs Paul and Judge James Wickersham. local attorney, former delegate to Congress and candidate for the Republican nomination to succeed the present Delegate, has been retained to conduct the legal battle it is intended to wage.
 NluSt AJtJ II
 Before any suit can be initiated against the United States, however, it will be necessary for Congress to grant legislative authority for such action. This is fully realized by the Indian leaders, MT. Paul said. In order to obtain it, measure has been prepared authorizing the Brotherhood to file the suits. It is planned to have Delegate Suth- erland introduce this bill at the current session of Congress.
 At it's convention at Haines, re- gently, the Indian organization adopted a resolution authorizing the employment of the three indi- viduals mentioned and agreeing to finance the necessary costs includ- ing certain travelling expenses. It is understood the money will be raised by assessments against the individual members of the Brother hood.
 Claims are Disp0ssessed
 It is contended by the Brother hood, through it's leaders, that the Indians were in possession, during the days of Russian ownership of Alaska, of vast fishing, hunting, trapping, mineral and other rights. And that the lands occupied by them including tidelands as well as forested areas, were recognized as theirs by right by the Russian Government
 The acquisition of the Territory by the United States, it is held by them, merely transferred sovereign ty and ownership of unoccupied or unappropriated lands and resources, but did not deprive the Indians of any right they had held under Rus sian rule. They further contend that Congress, itself, has upon oc- casion, recognized these rights, but

QUIGLEY IS SILENT ON POLITICAL PLANS Declines to Discuss RumOr He Will Run for
 Mayor

Former Mayor George A. QuigIey today declined to affirm or deny the rumor that he intends to be an in dependent candidate for mayor at the election next spring. It has been reported for several days that friends have tried to persuade him to enter the race early and announce his candidacy.
 According to information from a source close to Mir. Quigley. his per sonal following in the republican party and many democratic friends are behind the movement to run hirl ependently. Because of opposi- ton within the republican ranks, it is not believed that Mir. Quigley would be successful if he set out in quest of the republican nomination.
 Mr. Quigley was elected mayor on the republican ticket on three oc- casions and was a candidate on three other occasions.
 MT. Quigley has a group of re- publicans who have been loyal fol- lowers and who today would rally to his support if he decided to run, they say.
 MT. Quigley was mayor from 1914 to 1920 and since that time he has never ceased his interest in the city government. At present he is chair man of the city plan commission and few months ago he led two committees appointed by Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa for the investigation of school building needs in this city.

 In Identity of Corpse
(Snecial to the Herald


 Portland. Me. July 3O-The badly decomposed body of a man found floating in Portland harbor was bur jed Saturday as that of Michael Fahey, formerly of Madison, Maine, fireman on a United States shipping board vessel. The body was identi- fled by two of Fahey's sisters who came here from New Britain, Conn.,, though one of them expressed some doubt about it. Drowning was given as the cause of the death.
 However there is some doubt whether the body was that of Fahey Apparently Fahey met his death some miles from Portland but a letter from the shipping board states that Fahey jumped overheard on June 2S but that the vessel was nev- CT in the vicinity of Portland. The board officials claimed that it is not possible that the body found in Port land is that of Fahey. It appears as though the New Britain women were mistaken in their identification.
