They might have been rich like their
Creek brothers if they had taken orders

the Everglades Seminoles take orders
from no nation and fear only the gods

TO the swamps and vowed they would

follow their own laws.

Samuel insult, under indictment in
Chicago in connection with the col
lapse of his utilities interests, refused
today to surrender his passport to the
American consul until he had consulted
his lawyer.
The attorney continued to refuse any
statement for publication.
1t was said at the American lega-

release from detention or the reasons
for his release.
He was liberated Tuesday after q
brief detention by the Athens police
when the courts ruled that, since formal

tradition treaty had not been completed,
there was no legal warrant for keeping
him in custody

an inquiry to establish responsibility
for the detention of the former Chicago

government eventually would ask insult
TO shorten his stay in the country.
On good authority. it was learned he
has no intention of returning to the
United States voluntarily.
insults friends denied a report he
had been asked to leave Greece. No
such request has been made, they said.
and so far as they can see there is
no reason why he should not remain
here as long as he wants TO.
They also said insult hopes the finan-
cial matters at issue shortly will be
settled in the United States. enabling
him to return there under normal con-
ditions. This mornings newspapers
said the American charge d'affaires
had gone to Loutraki to consult Premier
