BISHOP W.T.. EABER LOSES
LIFE In GLACIER PARK
Becomes Lost, While Taking a
Hike and Perishes From
Exposure,

The Right Rev. William F.
Faber, aged IA, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Montana the
past "a years, was found dead in
Paradise creek, in Glacier Nation
al Park, Monday, by a park ranger
who, with scores of others, had
been searching for the bishop
since Friday evening, when he
left wo-Medicine chalets for a
hike along a mountain trail be-
fore partaking of his evening
meal. Failing to return after sew
eral hours absence, search was
instituted and continued three
days before his body was found.
The theory is that he became
lost and attempted to follow the
stream down to the lake, and that
he either fell or became exhausted
and succumbed to exposure, the
nights in the park being quite
cold. When found the lower part
of his body was in shallow water.
He was in a reclining position,
with his back against a log, partly
out of the water, n arm laying
across the log. The bishops hair
had not been wet, nor had the
clothes covering the upper part of
his body.
The body was taken to Helena,
where funeral services were held
yesterday in the Episcopal cathe-
dral. The body was shipped to
Lockport, N. Y, for burial beside
the remains of his wife. who died
about 20 years ago. He is survived
by one son, DR.. H. H. Faber, a
professor in Stanford university
at Palo Alto, Calf, and one
daughter, Miss Dorothy Faber OF
Helena.

ROBERT
new SUPERINTENDENT

can ticket for congressman from
the Second Montana district and
carried Big Horn county by a
substantial majority. Again, in the
primary election of July 10, 1882,
he was a candidate for state
senator from Big Horn county,
losing the nomination by 40 votes.
Had the Indians remained home
to vote instead of going to the
Sheridan rodeo, he no doubt would
have represented Big Horn county
in the state legislature.
The Crows, in recognition of his
popularity have decided to induct
him into office with appropriate
ceremonies when he takes the
oath of office, publicly, at Grow
Agency. Loud speakers and a band
are to be provided. Mr.. Yellowtail
will address his people and friends
present Immediately after the in
duction ceremony, reviewing IN
dian administrations, generally. A
large attendance is anticipated
Many are expected from Sheridan.
Wyo., and Billings, as MI. Yellow
tail has many friends among the
business men of both cities, and
Hardin, of course, will turn out
en- masse.
With the induction of Robert
Yellowtail into office as superin-
tendent of the Crow reservation
a new mile stone in Indian gov
eminent will have been establish
ed. The new DEAL" much heard
of lately, will have become a real
ity to the Crows with the con-
summation of the pending event
Robert Yellowtail has been de-
clared one of the outstanding In
dams Of the country and will be
burdened with a crushing respon-
sibility in the administration oil
two-thirds of the area of Big Horn
county. He Is entitled to anc
should receive the hearty support
not only of his fellow tribesmen
but of the white people Of this
his home community. No doubt
his inaugural address will hit the
high lights of Indian administra-
ton and declare the new policy
to be inaugurated on the Grow
reservation.

FARM DEBT COMMITTEE
MET IN BILLINGS MONDAY
Conferred With Like Committees
From Yellowstone, Carbon
and Saltwater.

]. A.. Koebbe, Stanley A. Yergey,
E. L. Kelley, all Of Hardin, Ora o.
Smith and Late Hamilton Of
Lodge Grass, constituting the Big
Horn county farm debt committee,
spent Monday in Billings in at
tendance at a meeting with SINH
lar committees from Yellowstone,
Carbon and Saltwater counties.
The following report of the meet
ing is taken from Tuesdays Bill
ings Gazette:
Plans for the Montana Farm
Debt Adjustment were explained
at a meeting in the Commercial
club Monday of farm debt ad-
justment committees of Yellow
stone, Carbon, Saltwater and Big
Horn counties. The groups were
addressed by FCA and federal
land bank representatives.
The salient points of the under
taking were outlined by the FCA
and bank men and follow-up
meetings for the individual coun-
ties are to be arranged for the
next several weeks. The Carbon
county meeting has been set for
August 9.
At that time the problems of
individual counties will be dis
cussed and the general program
adapted to their needs.
The project is jointly sponsored
by state and federal governments.
It has the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, it was explained,
while the personnel of state and
county debt committees was ap-
pointed by Gov. F. H. Cooney.
The county committees function
under the state group which has
Governor Cooney as its chairman
and H. J. Gordon as its program
supervisor.
MI. Gordon conducted the meet
ing here. Speakers included Alvin
T. Anderson and Merritt Green,
representatives Of the farm credit
administration; C.. c. Rowan,
formerly of Red Lodge and now
administrative assistant in the
federal land bank at Spokane; B.
A. Davis, supervisor of appraisal
Offices in the northwest, and Frank
Virgins, contact man for the ap-
praisal Office in Montana.
MI. Anderson explained that
the whole purpose of the under
taking is to bring about friendly
adjustment of debts which must,
he said, be made before the farm
er can again become a self-sup-
porting, tax-paying individual.
The committees, he related, are
to act as mediaries between debt
ors and creditors in an effort to
solve this problem.
The committees have nothing to
do with the making of loans, MI.
Anderson emphasized, but they
are to investigate debt conditions
with a view of recommending ad-
justments for either or both
parties involved.
Debtors and creditors were
urged to submit their problems to
their respective county committees
and work under its guidance to a
friendly and mutually satisfactory
solution of their difficulties.
Mr.. Anderson went into detail
regarding the necessity for debt
adjustments, declaring that in
many instances, especially where
the Indebtedness was incurred at
peak prices, there is no hope for
extracting full payment.
There are two methods of ar
irving at a settlement" he said,
Zone is through liquidation Of the
farmers assets. This Is a long

Crow Leader To Be Indicted Into
Office at Crow Agency With
Tribal Ceremony.

robert YelloWtail, prominent
leader of the Crow tribe of In
dams, on Saturday received in
structions from Washington, D. c..
to prepare to assume the duties OF
superintendent and special dis
bursting agent for the Crow Indian
reservation, effective August /,
the approval of a surety bond in
the sum of $4,000 by the Indian
commissioner, the secretary of the
interior, the secretary of the
treasury and the department OF
justice at Washington being the
last hurdle in the approval rou-
tine.
This winds up a hectic cam
paign by those of the Crow tribe
opposed to Mr.. Yellowtail's APP
pointment and their white advis-
ers who in recent weeks have
flooded Commissioner John Col
lier with kilograms, letters and
petitions in the hope of prevent
ing the appointment. In conse-
quence of these representations,
Commissioner Collier, on May l,
ordered a secret tribal referendum
and vote for or against Robert
Yellowtail as superintendent by
each adult Crow Indian on the
rolls. The result was a landslide
for Mr.. Yellowtail, thus proving
the esteem in which he is held by
the great majority of his tribes
men as, by such a vote, Commits:
sioner Collier gave every oppor-
tunity to Mr.. Yellowtail's political
opponents to defeat him, if they
could.
Soon after the referendum vote
of the Crow tribe MI. Yellowtail
was ordered to Washington to
face the Civil Service test. This
he weathered with the result that
the receipt of his commission as
superintendent is only a matter
of days.
Robert Yellowtail was born As
years ago on the Crow reservation,
He was educated in the public
schools of California, attending
the grade and high schools at
Pacific Grove, Sherman Institute
and Riverside, Calf, later enroll
ing in the legal department of the
American Extension University of
Los Angeles.
Since 1912 Robert Yellowtail has
been the leader of the Crows in
matters of legislation and in ap-
pearing before the government
departments at Washington and
the congress in their behalf, hav-
ing battled by sheer argument the
way to relief for his people. In
recognition of this service Secre-
tary John B. Payne of the Wilson
cabinet offered him any superin-
tendency in the Indian service he
desired. This he refused, giving
his cattle operations, then large
as his reason. He then was offer
ed an Investigators position ir
the interior department, which hi
likewise refused. When Secretary
Hubert Work in President Cool
idge's cabinet appointed 10(
prominent men in all walks o.
professional life to advise him or
matters of policy to pursue II
Indian affairs, he personally Sc
lected Robert Yellowtail as {
member of that committee in rec.

Gated above.
