WASHINGTON. April 5.-Colonel
Jones Commissioner of Indian affairs
has received from Colonel Randlett.
Indian Agent at Anadarko. Oklahoma,
letter denying the reports in Eastern
newspapers. that the Commanehe In

their daughters.
According TO some weird stories.

sale is calleu the pony smoke" A
good many inq'slries from humane
people. disturbed by these reports.
have been received at the Interior
Department. and Colonel Randlett,
some time ago was requested to report
the facts.
Colonel Randlett stats that these
publications are entirely without foun-
uation. They are a fabrication from
beginning to end." he says. THE
Comacnes have no ceremony they call
the pony smoke" am informed
that this scandalous article has been
copied into many of the leading pap
ers of the country. 1t lis beyond the
power OF my Imagination to conceive
what was the motive of the author OF
this yillainous fabrication; and 1t is
equally strange to me that any one
interested IN the welfare of our In
dians. should have a suspicion that
sucn barbarous custom as Is des-
cribed would be tolerated by the De-
partment o. lndian Affairs. 1t. how
ever Is evident by the letter OF In
quiry. that the soory has gained Gre
dence among lriends OF the Indians,
and demands more than passing notice.
II hope thar .Ae department will d.
rect that proceeding be Instituted at
Washington to hunt down the author
of the vile story, anu that he an, the

legally proceeded against for fibeiing

"One of the highest attributes of
American citizenship states the re-
port, lis that of equal opportunity
under the law with all others; the
chance to start fairly in the race for
the rewards which enterprise. industry
and thrift MAY bring. The material ad-
vancement of the inhabitants of the
territories depends largely upon the
rapid development of the resources
of the Territories. The one essential
for snch development is capital. but
capital hesitates to enter the Terri
tories and iAvest in enterprises other

fixed conditions are necessary to at

position tnat hatnbone has not had a
fair trial and has not had an onpor-
tunity of showing whether ne had a
good defense or not.
.1athbone's Lends say that the trial
war a traversity on justice. They
charge persecution on the part OF
Gen. Wood. IN proof of some OF their
allegations they point to the evidence
that Is on the desk of Secretary Root.
They say that when Rathbone was
flrst accused Ii was from overcharged
its ne. whicn were mere matters OF
disaliowance.. Then he was accused of
theft and thrown In jail. After that
under the directions of General Wood,
the charge was changed to conspiracy.
General Woo. paid no attention to th.s
letter. but went right ahead. and
whan General Wood was asked aOout
it, he said that he had never receiv-

Wood that this evidence could not be
used against Rathbone or any of the
prisoners unless they had an oppor-
tuuty OF cross-examinlng the persons
swearing to the papers.
Notwithstanding this statement
