MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 16.- After the appearance of white men dressed as Indians in Milwaukee's Midsummer Festival Harold Wilde, representing the festival, received protest from Francis Coleman, Chippewa Indian Recorder for the Consolidated Tribes of North Am erican Indians, in this city.
 Ugh" Coleman wrote. "Milwau- keeans get disgusted when we wit ness the sorry spectacle of white men trying to initiate us in our ceremonial dances. It can't be done and the sooner that is realized the better it will be for future pa- geants."
 Wilde replied that the pageant commission would consider using real Indians instead of palefaces in the future.
