There is much unfavorable comment
in the Interior Department official cir
| cles over the recent letter of Indian In
spector Pollock, who some time ago was
suspended by order of Secretary Teller.

lock take to the newspapers to air his
alleged grievances, in a matter to which
the public is not party, that he would

vices. There is excellent authority for
the statement that had Pollock submit

he would have been reinstated.
