Senator Byrnes' telegram said:

IT have your telegram in which you
state thai the policy declared by Secre-
tary Hyde Of not forcing the collection
of crop production loans until Congress
can act upon the question Of deferring

but applies only to a small section in
the Northwest where the situation is
acute.
"Your representative in this State Is
forcing payment by all farmers, regard
less Of how acute their financial situa-
tions may be. In every State there are
some individual farmers who through
misfortune are unable to pay without
sacrificing everything and If the policy
of the department is not to consider
each case upon its merits but to confine
its generosity to small section and in
that section extend the time for pay

ALASKA LOSING ANCIENT RELICS,
 SAYS HRDLICKA
Action Imperative to Save Valuable Objects, De-
 clares Scientist

Alaska's relics of antiquity, the evidences of former tribes and cul- lures, are being more or less vast ed and even those of which use is being made arc largely going out of the Territory, according to Dr. Ales Hrdliclsa, world famous anthropologist, who has just com- pleted another season of study in western Alaska and is now en- route to his headquarters In Washington, D. c. His work is done for the Smithsonian Insti- tuition of that city, of which he is member.
 Some action is necessary to pre- vent these valuable relics from be- ing lost ito the Territory, declared Dr. Hrdlicka. Some of them are be- ing destroyed by acts of ignorance and thoughtless vandalism; others are being sought out and collected by speculators who sell on the best market regardless of consid- erations of future usefulness; and others are going to thoroughly re- liable institutions, but like all the others, they too, are lost to the Territory.
 Dr. Hrdlicka spent the present season working on Kodiak Island where, he said, he had a very successful and satisfactory results. This year, as in former eNpedi- tions. he found that many objects of historical value were disappear ing. He believes that the Terri tory ought to have these things in its official museum in Juneau where they would be available for everyone visiting Alaska and who are interested in such sub- jects.
 Dr. Hrdlicka, who is a passenger on the steamer Admiral Evans, visited Gov. Parks yesterday. He has promised to make him com plete report on his observations this summer.

SIR GIL BERT
 PARKER DIES,
 LONDON HOME
Celebrated Novelist, States man, Married
 American Heiress

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Sir Gilbert Parker, celebrated British novelist and statesman, is dead here at the age of 69 years. He suffered a heart attack Sunday at his Lon don home and never rallied.
 Although he achieved interna- tional fame as a novelist, the lit- erary career of Sir Gilbert Par ker was said to have been some- what dinamed by his activity in politics.
 In England he was regarded as the Richard Brinsley Sheridan of the twentieth century, because the author of School for Scandal and "T.he Rivals" also gained fame in letters and statesman ship.
 Sir Gilbert traveled extensively in Northern Canada and the South Seas and was aa associate editor at Sydney, Australia, four years before going to Lcndon in the ear- ly sos. He soon began to acquire a reputation as a writer of TO- mantic fiction building his stories around the adventurous life in the great Hudson Bay country of Northern Canada.
 Writes of Pioneers
 Tn these stories he portrayed the characters of the French Can adian settlers and the English and American pioneers in the great woods. At first his novels failed to attract wide attention. Then he developed his favorite type of leading character-half hero, half villain, and essentially an adven- turer-and his success was made.
 About that time he began to take an active interest in politics; His Canadian connection and his experience in Australia and else- where in the British Empire made him strong Imperialist. He be- gan to devote more of his time to politics and finally in 1900 was elected to Parliament from Graves end, serving 18 years.
 All the while he kept his pen at work, but critics have said that the novels produced by Sir Parker Curing his official life, although Tar more numerous, were not the equal of the initial Canadian stor- les.
 Political Moulder
 It was said of Sir Gilbert Parker hat if he had given up to public
