THE HALF NOT YET TOLD
OF INDIAN LAND FRAUDS
Representative Curtis Has
Heard Many Tales.
SAYS LEASES ARE NOT GOOD
Invalid If Made in Advance of Allot-
ments-COngressional Inquiry
Anticipated.

Charles J. Bonaparte, selected TO in
vestigate the official conditions in the
Indian Territory, has notified the In
terror Department of his receipt of nu-
merous documents and letters he had
requested. He did not intimate when
he would again be in Washington.
Representative Curtis, OF Kansas.
chairman OF the Committee on Indian
Affairs OF the House at the last session
Of Congress, saw Judge Ryan. Acting
Secretary of the Interior. yesterday. and
had another long talk on conditions in
the Territory. Mr.. Curtis knows as
much about the Indians and their srou-
bles as any man in the House, and is
earnestly DESTROYS that they be given
full protection from the Iandshsrks who
have been trying to acquire their prop
cry
Half Not Yet Told.
Friends OF the Indians have taken
the pains to inform the leading authori-
ties on Indian affairs in Congress upon
the extent and nature Of the scandals.
Mr.. Curtis has heard stories which sur
pass even those which have appeared
in print.
Mr.. Curtis is of the opinion that no
lease of Indian land made before alIot-
ments are made will be valid in law
The prospects are that some SPECTATORS
will lose large sums.
The district court at Muscogee de-
cided yesterday that leases made for
minor Indians by their parents will not
stand. As there are hundreds of -hese.
the men who paid advance money on the
leases VIII lose. The money has been
spent by the Indians in most cases. and
there Is no means of recovering.
Congress May Probe.
Because Of the fact that so many Rep
reseniatiyes are interested in the well
fare OF the Indians and take pains TO
learn the truth. the belief grows that
Congressional investigation wiz fol-
low that Of the Interior Department.
The appointment Of Mr.. Bonaparte to
investigate for the department. II Is
said, was made in order TO inspire con-

apprehended, will not be attained as

handing that no stone be left unturped
