the Ir dian bureau to the interior depart
ment and said in response to a question
that he did not remember that the board of

Smith he would escape trouble aud avoid q
congressional investigation. The secretary
informed Welsh that he could not afford &c

deDce. The secretary further said to Welsh
that il he would Imake charges against

sustain the,truth of the charges, the secre
Ijtary promised hcSvohld ask The president
to remove Smith. Welsh, however, die
not acquiesce in the proposition. Subse
quently Mr. Welsh was suggested TO hin
as Il proper person to be commissioner o
