Maj. GEORGE a. SCOTT TO BE ACT

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.
WASHINGTON, Dec n.-An order was
issued at the war department today re-
Ieving Capt. w. A. Mercer of his duties
as acting Indian agent at Leech lake,
Mimi, Jan. 1. He is to be succeeded by
Maj. George A. Scott, Sixth cavalry
Capt Mercer made application to the
secretary of war for relief from his duties
IL the Indian service more than a month
ago. AT that time he stated the circum-
stances of his having been on such de-
tail for number of years, first in Wis
consin, then in Nebraska and later at
Leech Lake, where he had been stationed
since the creation of that agency more
than three years ago. While in Mime
sofa Capt Mercer has been in charge
OF the dead and down operations which
have created so much scandal during the
past winter and summer.
Indian Commissioner Jones said to-
night that he had not been relieved on
account of any failure to perform his
duty while managing these operations.
but because he had been away from his
regiment for many years and there was
a disposition among other army officers
to find fault with his having had what
they call "soft BERTH To prove that
he does not consider 1t so 1t is only neceS-
sary to state at the last interview be-
tween himself and Indian Commissioner
Jones he said he was heartily sick and
tired Of the whole business and request
ed Jones not to oppose the transfer to
his regiment.
Capt. Mercer has made a good record
while in the Indian service, according to
Commissioner Jones, especially in Mime
sofa, and the department will let him go
back to his regiment with regret.
Maj Scott, who relieves Capt. Mercer,
is now stationed at Fort Sill, o. t. He is
familiar with logging operations, as he
was at one time stationed at La Pointe
agency, Wisconsin, where logging opera
tions similar to those that the depart
ment proposes to establish in Minnesota
have been going on for many years.
Being familiar with the departments
wishes it is believed he will indorse the
departments proposition and will carry
out the law just as Capt. Mercer would
have done had he remained at Leeeh
Lake.
Commissioner Jones made the emphatio
statement tonight that no compromise
would be made with the Commonwealth
Lumber company He says they must
come down with the money, or stand
suit in the federal courts.
