council with Great Father Roosevelt at

and announced that he would like to see
President Roosevelt. He was told that he
could only do so when in the company Of
the Indian Commissioner or some official
from his Office. Commissioner Jones re-
fused to frank the Indians into the White
House. and they went away unheard.
