DISCUSSED INDIAN BILL
With THE PRESIDENT
Mr.. MOyle, of Utah, Tells of
Needed Notifications.
Measure Must Be Signed or Disapprov-
ed Tomorrow or VIII Become
Law.

Mr. James H Moyle, Of Utah. con
ferred with the President today regard
ing the provision Of the Indian appro-
priation bill. which will open tho
Uintah reservation Mr.. MoyIe was very
frank in a declaration. as he LEFT the
White House, to the effect that several
OF the Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have supported certain
sections OF the bill did SO because the
effect would be beneficial to financial
interests they held in the West. EsDe.
cially is this true, Mr.. MoyIe asserted.
Of those who have holdings In the FLOR
ence Mining Company, Of Salt Lake
City. which viii, # the Uiatah reserva-
ton is opened. make large mineral en-
tries there.
Mr. Moyle said he thought that the
President would sign the bill. but would
inss'sss upon its modification BY reso7u-
ton. In accordance with desire reso-
buttons have already been introduced in
Congress looking to this end. It viii be
ten days tomorrow since the Indian aD-
Iropriation bill came to the White
House, and unless the President signs

MAJOR WALLER NOT
TO GB4 NEW TRIAL
No Action Following Gene
raj Chaffee's Disapproval.
No Official Statement of His Criticism
OF the Findings Received by the
Department.

There viii be no new cOuTt-martiaI OF
Major Waller and Lieutenant Day as the
result Of General ChaTee's vigorous dis
approval Of the courts action in ac-
quitting the officers. No official state
ment Of General Chafee's action has
been received at the war Department.
but in view Of the wording of the in
dorsement it is evident that General
Chafee approves the finding. but in do
ing 50 scores the court and the accused.
He bases his approval Of the finding on
the mental and physical condition of Ma
jor Waller but Teprimands him for not
consulting with General Smith with
whom he says there was telephone com
munication at the time the order was
given for the execution OF the natives.
It is customary for reviewing officers
10 approve the verdict OF courts and at
the same time dissent in conclusions
reached by the members OF the court.
General Chahee's Endorsement is Of that
character.
War Department officials believe that
announcement at this time Of General
Chafee's criticism means a further de-
lay of the records of the Waller trial.
They say it shows that General Chaffee
held the papers until he could review
them and make his official Endorsement.
If General Chaffee has just acted il in
diCates therefore that the papers were
not mailed until recently so that 1t may
be . month before they reach N7asHing-
ton.

The question OF a Pacific cable and
found that this was the situation I
hen asked that my bill be indefinitely
laid aside and the committee assented
10 this by q unanimous vote. II the Gov
