domination of the BuckFand

herd.
G.. J. Lomen, of Nome Alaska,
an attorney of the court, acting
as president of the Lomen and
Company Corporation conduct
ed the purchase of most of these
reindeer. He, as an attorney
knew that he was breaking the
spirit of the law, if not the in
tricacies of the details of the
contract. His act was seemingly
a deliberate attempt to find
lcophole in both law and con-
tract through which to effect
his purpose.
The Government, on the ad-
vice of the Solicitor of the In
terror Department. and of the
Assistant of the Attorney Gen.
eral, began preparations for a
suit. A notice was sent to both
the Missions as vendor and the
Lomen Corporation as vendee
that unless the sales were void
ed action would be commenced.
The suit was delayed for vari-
Gus reasons, one would seem to
be that Mr.. Lomen became
United States Attorney for the
Division, and would hardly be
expected to bring a suit that
involved himself. The suit was
finally begun in 1921 and was
thrown out on demurrer In
1922 Mr.. Lomen became Judge
of the Division, and a letter is
said to have been written by the
Department of Justice month
later, or whereabouts, to stop
proceedings in the suit.
The natives for want of legal
advice or the means to procure
counsel, and also for lack of
knowledge of the proper pro-
ceedings to place the matter
before the court and appeal for
a change of venue from Judge
Lomen's Court, were helpless.

the Kotzebue Peninsula which
had been held and used by the
Kotzebue herd since 1901. They
applied for wedges that split
the native herds and left long
lines of exposed frontiers. They
procured official influence in the
shape of advice from Govern
1nent officers to advise the ma
tives to sell to the corporation
at $500 per head, when the ma
tives had paid the corporation
over $3.50 on an average fer
every three year old animal they
owned in the Corporation herds.
Protests Filed With The
Government
Protests against the condi-
lions were filed with the Gov
eminent, showing the history of
the matter and the conditions,
and asking the releasing of the
reindeer of the natives and that
the native be assigned land at
his home on which to Craze his
deer. Also statements of BUTCH
ering accounts and cost ac-
counts of the years that the
deer had been held from the
owners was asked.
Investigation Ordered
In May 1880 an investigation
was ordered by the Secretary Of
the Interior, and a special re-
preventative, Mr.. E. w. Sawyer,
was sent to investigate and re-
port his findings. He visited the
Seward Peninsula, returned to
washington and reported.
Reindeer Committee Appointed
A Committee of three men
was appointed to hear the re-
port. The report of the Special
representative of the Secretary
was placed before them, but was
not made a part of the hearings.

before the Committee was the

1900 miles from Barrow on the

and in land of climatic and
topographic obstacles where
transportation was almost I'M
obtainable.
In 1925 the natives began to
protest that reindeer were driv-
en- from their ranges. 1t was an
old story of the stock range.
Thousands of their deer began
to appear in corporation herds.
The reindeer of those who own
ed deer in corporation herds
cid not increase from year to
year. Their protests sent to the
Government were disregardei
and discredited. They were told
to get along with their neigh
bors.
In 1929, in September, the
Lomen Reindeer Corporation is
sued a set of Range Rules for
conduct Of reindeer business. In
it they stated that they would
take the native deer of the ma
tlves who owned reindeer in
their herds at $500 per head
for herd bill. The costs per head
Of the native deer kept in their
herds against the wishes of the
owners had been for years from
$1.25 to $1.95 per head for all
adult deer. These deer had been
kept on lands that had been the
hereditary lands of the Eskimo,
and they were denied the right
to herd their own deer, also in
some cases were even charged
$3.50 for the butchering of their
own deer, when they wanted
food.
A law was passed by Congress
in 1923, providing for leasing
the grazing lands for reindeer.

LARGEST AMNESTY
Several Hundred Political

ROME, November 5.-Premier Mus

litical prisoners was approved by the
council Of ministers today. The official
communique called it "the largest am

1t was understood that several hun

the King signs the decree.
1t was considered unlikely the am

GANDHI TO RENEW FAST
UNLESS PACT RESPECTED
Threatens to Continue Hunger
Strike if Caste Hindus Fail to
Carry Out Agreement.

By the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, India, November 5.-Ma-
hatma Gandhi, the Nationalist leader,
threatened to renew his recent fast
unto death" today unless the recently
negotiated pact of Poona was carried
out completely by caste Hindus.
The threat came in a statement from
Poona. Jail, where Gandhi has been held
on charges of civil disobedience for
many months.
The Mahatma only six weeks ago
emerged from a siX-day fast for cleo
toral reforms. The abstentation from
food was broken only when the caste
Hindus agreed with their untouchable
cousins on. equal citizenship for the
untouchables progressively in a 10-year
period.
The Mahatma said the government of
India had given him permission to cam
pa1gn against 'untouchability" that
doctrine that separates the Hindu castles
and denies citizenship equality to the
untouchables.
The September fast was begun to
prevent the British electoral reform for
segregated untouchable representation
going into effect.

Will Warn This Is to Be Last

EXPECTS NEGOTIATIONS
TO FOLLOW ELECTIONS
Further Depreciation Of Empires
Gold Reserves May Result
From Payment.

By Cable to The Star.
LONDON, November 5-Great Brit
ain will pay its December IS installment
on the war debt to the United States.
This information the London Daily
Telegraph is able to state today posi-
lively.
Whether Great Britain will make the
payment from the Bank of England 8
gold reserve, further driving the country
from the possibility of return to the gold
standard, or from its depleted reserves
Of foreign currency, is not yet stated.
The Bank Of England has roughly e.
100000 more gold in its vaults today
than when Britain went of the gold
standard
BY whatever means, Britain, upon
making its payment to the United
States, will simultaneously announce
that this is the last such payment un-
der the present basis and that new ne
gotiations must be opened after the
American elections.
The December Is payment, with half
a years interest plus principal, at the
current rate of exchange amounts to
ESQ, 100000 or roughly $1oU,000,000 In
the last six months Britain sold to the
United States only f8,750,00O worth of
goods. At this rate Britains war debt
payments to the United States in one
year are equivalent to the proceeds from
four years exports to the United States.
As Britain is Americas best customer.
and during the same last six months
purchased f44,000,000 worth of Amer
ican goods, it runs a heavy adverse
trade balance with the United States
which the debt payments virtually
double. The British, therefore. declare
that revision of the Anglo-American war
debt settlement is. just as vital for the
American export business as it Is for
the British.
