INDIAN SCANDALS

Promise to Prove Almost as Sensa-

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Aug. 16.-With scandal In
vestigations going on in three departments.
President Roosevelt and his Cabinet mem
bers are having little vacation.
The Indian land scandals. just brought to
the attention Of the Department of the In
terror. promises to prove almost as sensa-
tfonal as the glove contract scandal In the
War Department, in which Representatives
Littauer OF New York is involved. and the
scandals in the Post-ofice Department.
which have resulted in . score Of indict-
ments and removals.
Friends of the administration insist that
1t cannot be injured by the sensational de-
velopments in the three departments. The
Irregularities were inherited and they say
1t is to the credit of President Roosevelt
that they have been SO fearlessly investi-
gated under his direction.
The charge that Government officials in
Indian Territory have conspired to defraud
Indians by leasing and buying their lands at
ridiculously low prices is now entirely In
the hands of Secretary Hitchcock. The case
has been taken from the Indian Bureau OF
the Department of the Interior and prob
ably will be Investigated under the direc-
ton Of the President, much as was done
In the Post-Office scandals.
It is believed that upon his return to
Washington tomorrow after his conference
with President Roosevelt Secretary Hitch
cock will designate a special inspector who
Immediately will go to Indian Territory
and begin q wholesale investigation Of the
charges which involve Tams Bixby, chair
man Of the Dawes Commission; Indian In
spector George Wright and many other
prominent Government officials.
CHARGES AGAINST WRIGHT.
Much surprise is expressed here about
the charges against Indian Inspector
Wright. He is Secretary Hitchcock's right
hand man and was sent to Indian Territory
as the Secretary's special commissioner. He
Is not under orders of the Indian Bureau
of the Five Tribes in their land rights.
Il shall be much surprised II the charges
against Mr.. Wright are sustained" said A.
Clark Tonner, Assistant Indian Commits
sioner tonight.
He and many Of the other men men-
toned in the report by Mr.. Brosious bear
regulations which have always been above
reproach. Charges are SO frequent in the
Indian Bureau that one must be slow to
accept them when they are not sustained
by aftidavits.

The mysterious IRE which visited the pa
latial home of Gustavus Schuch:aann, a
well-known real estate man, Of No. 1875
Missouri avenue, early yesterday morning
causes the Police Department to suspect in
cendiarism, with robbery the motive.
The residence. which is one of the finest
in the Lafayette Park district, was almost
Quilted by flames before the fire was dis
covered, and residents in the vicinity, who
left their beds in the heat Of excitement,
are of the belief that the fire was the work
of burglars.
One of the strange features Of the case Is
the fact that no one was home at the time
the fire was discovered. Mr.. Schuchmann,
after securely fastening the house. left the
city at $50 Saturday evening for Bath
Beach, Mass. to join his family. The fire
was discovered at 1 a. m.
1t was Mr.. Schuchmann's intention to
bring his family home. and in his absence
his negro servant, Boots" Martin, had
charge of the premises.
Martin only had acces to the kitchen. and
depot and then went to call on friends.
When he returned home he found his mas
ter's property destroyed.
Martin only had excess to the kitchen, and
strange to say, that was the only part of
the house that was not touched by fire. The
negro declares the premises were left in ex-
emplary order. No gas jets were burning,
and 1t is said the house was wired in man
