Secrets of Indians
Perish With Death
OF Medicine Man
''LittIe Dance" Vas Sole
Keeper of Mysteries
of POnca Tribe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PONCA CITY, Okla, December a.
Little Dance has gone to better teepee,
taking with him hundreds Of Ponca
Indian secrets known to no one else
alive.
He was the last of the Ponca medi-
cine men and he lived to become. the
sole keeper of ceremonial mysteries that
ranged from the mixing of paints to the
ritual Of the forbidden sun dance and
included the key to the rites of the
seven tribal bands.
Little Dance, reputedly wealthy, died
Monday night at the Ponca Reserva-
ton. He did not know when he was
born, but it was more than a hundred
years ago, for he recalled the great
meteor shower of November, 1888.
Much of his unwritten knowledge was
of the sort that one medicine man
intrusts only to another medicine man.
Little Dance was the last, and the
ancients who, through participation in
the sacred dances, knew some of the
ritual, died before him.
The young Indians were more inter-
ested in the ways Of the white man, and
Little Dance never talked to white men
So he kept his secrets.

CANADIAN NEWSPRINT
IMPORTS ARE BANNED
Customs Officials Order Halt Pend
ing Investigation Of
Dumping.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1.-THE New
York Herald Tribune says the flow of
news print paper into the United States
from Canada has been temporarily
stopped by order of the customs au-
thorities pending investigation into al
legged dumping of the product in this
country.
The matter is regarded of vital con-
Germ, the newspaper says, as approx
mately two thirds of all news print used
by the Nations newspapers is imported
from Canadian mills.
Storage facilities Of newspaper plants
being generally of limited capacity, a
steady flow of supply is necessary, and
any continued ban, the Herald Tribune
says. may place newspapers in serious
difficulties.
L. B. Palmer, general manager of the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation, is quoted as saying the organi-
zation had been informed of the situa-
ton and representations had been made
to the Treasury Department at Wash
trgton, with view to arranging for
movement Of news print pending out
come of the dumping inquiry.
The ban goes into effect next Tues
day.

BATES FOR APPEALING
PAROLE LAW DECISION
Federal Penal Superi tendent Says
Atlanta Ruling Would Bring
Difficulty Here.

An appeal from the decision of Fed
eral Judge Marvin Underwood in At
lanta, holding that the parole law is
retroactive, was urged today by San
ford Bates, superintendent of Federal
penal institutions. He said he believed
the decision to be in error.
Under the decision, all Federal pris-
oners sentenced from the District
would be returned as soon as they be-
come eligible for parole, and would re-
main until paroled or the parole was
denied.
District penal institutions. now over
crowded, it was declared, could not ac-
commodate the 300 prisoners in Federal
institutions, who would have to be re-
turned for parole proceedings.
Capt M. M. Barnard, general super
intendent of District penal institutions,
expressed the belief, however, that the
ruling would apply only to prisoners
sent to Federal institutions after crea-
ton of the District Parole Board about
q year ago. Prisoners who were SEN
fenced before the Parole Board came
into existence, he said, certainly would
not come under the ruling.
