SHIP REPORTS REDFERN PLANE SEENJT SEA Signals Exchanged and Craft Then Flew On, Skipper of Vessel Says. By United Brest KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 31— What appeared to be proof that Paul Rqjlfern, Georgia-to-Brazil flier, still was on his lonely way, twenty-four hours after leaving Brunswick, Ga„ Thursday, was supplied here today in the log of the steamship Christian Krong, a Norwegian vessel. The log said that Redfern's plane was sighted between

Mr. and Mrs. Redfern

3 and 3:45 p. m. Friday in the Caribbepn about 1,675 miles from Brunswick. Redfern and the Christian Krogh exchanged messages and signals, the log said, whereupon the flier pointed his plane in the direction in which land had been indicated and disappeared. There was a detailed account of the meeting. The position given was 165 miles north of the nearest point on the Venezuelan coast. Substance of the log was that the plane circled over the ship and dropped three notes, asking that the vessel point herself toward the nearest land and indicate the approximate distance thereto by Signals. The Christian Krogh, according to the log, complied with these requests, whereupon the plane flew away. Piane Seen in Wilds Bit United Prist WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Reports of sighting Saturday an unidentified plane over the Orinoco Delta, on scheduled route of Paul .Redfern, missing Brunswick Ga.-Rio Janeiro fier were forwarded today to the State Department by American Minister Cook at Caracas, Venezuela. There was nothing in the message to show the plane was Redfern’s. The message follows: “Government telegraph operator at village of Tucupita in Orinoco Delta telegraphed Saturday to operator at Ciudad Bolivar that mail carrier who left Barrancas for Tucupita Saturday saw an airplane at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon flying over the Canomaca-Reoa River in the delta. The airplane was flying in a southeasterly direction toward Boca Gra ide, the main mouth of the Orinoco. “In addition to the mail carrier, inhabitants of the village of Macareito also saw an airplane Saturday flying southeast towqrd Boca Grande. “At 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, a heavy storm broke over all that region.

INDIANS LOSING LIVES,-RICHES AT RAPID RATE 9 ~ I Extinction of Race Is Seen in Few Years Unless Congress Acts. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.—The last vestiges of America's first families are being swept away, according to Secretary John Collier of the American Indian Defense Association. He says he will demand a congressional investigation of the condition of the country’s wards. Statistical studies by Dr. Haven Emerson of Columbia University, Collier says, indicate that soon the red men of the West will be as rare as the cigar store Indian of the nineties. , Collier declares that in the last four years the mortality rate among Indians in thirty-three States has risen 48 per cent. Death Rate Higher The Indiana death rate for tuberculosis is six times that for the white population of the United States. . More than 21 per cent of the Indian population, or some 60,000 are suffering from trachoma, which causes blindness, according, zo Dr. Guthrie, chief of the Indian Bureau’s medical staff. The Indian estate, held in trust by the Government, has shrunken through the last four years at the rate of four per cent a year. Not counting the ever-mounting reimbursable indebtedness against tribes, the total shrinkage of the estate has been $122,000,000 in the four, years. The Indian allotted lands held in trust have dwindled $68,000,000, or 16.66 per cent in these years; the trust moneys 36.3 per cent and the Indian tribal funds 18.5 per cent. Landed area of the Indians has dwindled from 160,000,000 acres in 1875 to 72,000,000, a shrinkage of 93,000,000 acres, or 56 per cent. Projects enriching white men and charged up against the Indians have created a load of reimbursable debt totalling $31,000,000. Overcrowded and insanitary conditions in Indian schools have caused spread of diser.se and death among the young. More than 3,200 Navajo children are without any schooling. Infant mortality among Indians under one year is 2.7 times higher than the general American death rate. The total Indian death rate is double the rate in the general population. “The Indians and their civilization are rapidly and ruthlessly being destroyed,” said Collier. "There are approximately 225,000 Indians left. Their property, held in trust by the United States Government, amounts to about $1,000,000,000. Will this all be swept away within the next few years? It is not too late for Congress to act.” LOUGH TO BE SPEAKER Bible Investigation Club to Hear Anti-Narcotic Leader. F. W. Lough, chairman of the Anti-Narcotic League of Indiana, will speak at 6:20 p. m. tonight at the bean supper of the Bible Investigation Club in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium.

BAR HEADS ASKS INAUGURATION DATE MANGE Whitman Also Would Alter Time for Sessions of U. S. Congress. By United Prett BUFFALO, N Y., Aug. 31Change in date for opening of Congress and inauguration of the President of the United States was advocated before the American Bar Association today by Charles S. Whitman, president of the association, in his opening address. “Failure of the Sixty-Ninth Congress to enact important appropriation bills, and jeopardizing of vital public interests through lack of funds, are regarded as proof of the desirability of changing the date of commencement of sessions of Congress, and also date of inauguration of the President,” said Whitman. Referring to law reform, President Whitman said the methods by which judgments, decrees and orders rendered by State and Federal Courts are enforced in other Federal districts have been found unequal to modern requirements. A fair amount of justice was attained, Whitman said, in passage of acts increasingi compensation of chief justifce and Federal judges and associate justices, but it has not been brought to the level of salaries of judges of corresponding responsibility. . President Whitman’s address constituted a resume of the year’s work as presented by reports of the various committees. Much has been accomplished, he said, but the future presents an unlimited field. Following his address, reports of the officers were given. State delegates met to nominate members of the General council and to select nominees for vice presidents and local council for each State.
