18th Anniversary Of Return Of
Spo-pe, Blackfeet Indian

Twenty-six years ago this month,
a delegation of Blackfeet Indians,
while in Washington on tribal bust
ness. learned that one of their fell
low tribesmen, Spo-pe (Turtle), was
an inmate of the government hos
pital for the insane, at that place.
For many years. rumors had beer
going the rounds among the Black
feet of long missing member of
the tribe whose whereabouts was
unknown. The delegation immedi.
ately became interested. particular
| ly Mrs. Malcolm Clark. caused an
investigation to be made and efforts
taken to secure his release after
proper Identification had been made
as he was stranger to ala for
gotten member of the tribe who I'M
Willingly many years before had
made transgression of the white
mans laws. In this, the delegation
was successful and shortly, Spo-pe,
after an absence of &c years was re-
turned to his people. 1t required
the combined efforts of the delega-
ton. Commissioner Cato Sells, Sec
rotary Lane and other influential
well-wishers to break down the red
tape barriers and effect his release.
Through the questioning of Mrs
|Clark, whose efforts first succeeded
in unlocking the gates of silence be-
hind which the mind and faculties
Of Spo-pe had hidden during the
long years of his incarceration, it
was learned that a portion OF the
evidence on which the Indian brave
wa@ convicted of murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged So long ago was
false.
1t was charged at the trial of Spo-
+ pc that he had killed the white fur
trader for the purpose of rObbing
' him and sum of money found on
him when arrested, amounting to
more than 500, was declared to
have been taken by the Indian from
the body of his victim.
Spo-pe. however. declared that
the money had been paid to him by
another trader. to whom Spo- pc had
4 sold lot of pclts. In the dialect
] Of his people. to which his tongue
bad been stranger, Spo pc ex.
claimed: They lied when they say
Spo pc killed to rob. The money
was mine. paid to me for the furs |
had hunted. | slew to avenge the
murder of my H. other; not to rob."
Ia detail and with many pauses
10 enable new-found speech to over
come the forgetfulness occasioned
BY his years of silence, Spo. pc told
the name of the trader to whom he
had sold his lurs and the trading
post where he and his people went
with the things to sell Never for
an instant deny ing the charge that
be had killed white man, he stout
" maintained his innocence of the
charge of robbery.
He died at Browning in 1916, age
about sixty years and is buried in
The local cemetery.

reflected weakness of stocks and a
bearish reception of the axis-Jap-

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Losses of
! to points in japanese issues and
gains up to 10 points in German
municipal and government loans
was the bond market response today
to the signing of a triple alliance
between Japan, Germany and Italy.
japanese obligations came under
moderate pressure at the outset, and
showed no signs of recouping as the
session went into the final hour.
But a dozen or more loans of Berlin,
Frankfort, Hamburg and other Ger
man cities jumped up spectacularly
on extremely thin demand. The
German government loans likewise
were in limited favor. Italian issue>
remained quiet.
Many japanese government issues
touched new low ground for 1910
and the 6l2s of "a were more than
4 points under yesterdays close near
noon. Also lower were Toxic City
IS of so and Great Consolidated
Electric Power of Japan Is.
The pact between Japan and the
axis powers also sent scores of do
mestic corporate bonds lower. Re-
treating were Allegheny 5s Of SO,
stamped; Santa Fe As of '95, Della
ware & Hudson refunding As and
Consolidated Oil convertible 3l2s.
Utility loans as a group were the
steadiest of the list, resisting down.
ward tendencies prevalent elsewhere.
United States Governments were
dealt in lightly, with prices thin
shade lower.
While japanese loans were dip
ping, some German issues were
buoyant. Between and points
higher were Berlin City Electric 6i2s
of 81 and 612s of SO.

Housing Shortage
Reported Slowing
Defense Drive
Twentieth Century Fund
Suggests Policies
To Meet Needs
BY the ks:cciatec Press.

pJ lIlc f--stNAdLcc
NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Housing
shortages are slowing the United
States armament program in a num-
Der of places. the Twentieth Gen.
tury Fund said yesterday in a re-
port which recommended housing
policy for industry and Govern
ment.
The fund is a research organiza-
ton endowed by the late William
Filene, Boston merchant.
The current critical housing
shortage in Newport News and other
shipbuilding areas" said the sur
vey, lis evidence that in the early
stages of rearmament the desire
for speed in production has per-
haps overridden any other consid-
Grafton"
The report, made under the d.
rection of Miles L. Colean, set forth
five main objectives on how to meet
housing needs in the placement of
defense industries:
TO avoid migration Of popula-
ton, to avoid congestion Of popula-
ton, TO utilize fully but not over
expand existing facilities, to At pro-
duction expansion to the commuui-
ty and to minimize the increase of
Government functions"
The fund advised manufacturers
to avoid expansion of operations
without assurances that means
would be provided to meet the
necessary increase in available
housing.
To the Federal Government the
fund suggested the adoption of q
policy of selective location Of in
dustrial activity through placement
of defense contracts, ALLEGATION Of
certain regions for location and ex-
pansion of defense activities, an
inventory of plant capacity within
those regions. a survey of the
processes of the various industries
concerned with defense production
and analysis Of the conditions and
potentialities for housing in areas
which for other reasons might be
desirable for defense industry ex-
pansion.
