of what be found IN Oklahoma.
dc declines to make any state
ment in regard to the character Of
his discoveries, but said conditions
in the Southw west were FAR more se-
ricus than had been reported. He
alluded to wholesale grating and
every form of corruption and pre-
'dieted that some Of the corruption
lists would ultimately land in the
peultentiary.
At the department Of justice, it
is announced that thorough in
yestigation has already been start
Cd and several agents Of the edepart-
ment are already in the field
gathering evidence.
Acting Attorney Geaeral Rey-
nolds said today that that the In
auiry would be searching and
ansparing. Officials guilty Of cor
rupt connection with fraudulent
land speculations designed to rob
the Indians would be punished, /,
and those against whom charges
have been made, and who are able
to prove their skirts clear Of scan
dal would be promptly exonerated.
1t was not the intention, he said,
to persecute, but TO sift all charges
impartislly and mete out even

of conducting the Investigation is
IN tie hands Of Of Assistant At

butes all that has been published
about The Indian Territory to the
Vaccinations OF enemies. In the
same breath he admits that there
are grounds for Investigation IN.

announces that he is looking for &

Eastern newspaper men he denoun
ces every body in the Indian Ter
