Chafes at Suppression of
It's Side of the
Case.
BIXBY SEES BONAPARTE
General Discussion of the
Charges-Evidences of
Honesty.

Tams Bixby. chairman of the Dawes
Commission. has had talk with Charles
J. Bonaparte, the special investigator
appointed by the President to report on
the charges against the commission in
the Indian Territory. The talk lasted
some time. but was general in nature.
Mr.. Bixby did not attempt to enter into
a specific explanation of the defense of
the commission to the charges against
It.
Wants Defense Made Public.
While Mr.. Bixby has declared mem
bers of the commission do not feel az
grieved because their answers to the
charges that they were connected with
trust companies dealing in Indian lands
had not been made public by the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. or by Mr.. Bona
parte. IT is known the commissioners are
desirous of having the answers published
and chafe at the delay. The charges are
now fresh In the public mind. and the
Commissioner Breckenridge replied 10
published at this time IL would do more
to offset the attacks upon their reputa-
tions than If the publication is withheld
until Mr.. Bonaparte completes his in
vesti=aton.
1t has been learned that while the
other members Of the commission re-
piled to the charges of S NJ. Brosius
which related TO them individually.
Commissioner Breckenridge replied to
the charges as whole. 1t is understood
this renly is full of interesting reading.
Replies to Charges.
Mr.. Brosius. agent of the Indian Rights
Association. made several allegations
against the commissioners, but after
his report was published newspaper cor
respondents and other independent in
vcstigators unearthed still other charges
which received wide publicity
I'D 70 the present the commissioners
have never been able to do more than
make general denial. as they held
that TO go into the details OF their side
of the case would be an act of dis
courtesy to the Secretary Of the In
terror and to Mr.. Bonaparte. neither OF
whom has shown any inclination to say
upon what grounds the commissioners
excuse themselves.
AS evidence OF their good faith and
honesty OF purpose the commissioners
make the statement that they have re-
fused TO grant citizenship to about 1OO.-
600 enterprising individuals who desired
TO enroll themselves as citizens of the
different Indian tribes in order to OBJ
tain a portion of the allotments of tri-
bal lands. Besides these reflections. the
commission has decided adversely to
the claimants to citizenship In the cases
of four thousand persons whose right
to tribal membership had been con-
tested.
Those who know say that if the com
missioners desired TO graft" there
would have been ample opportunity to
do so I'm handling the cases of the
would-be Indian citizens. as each ap-
plication granted represented so much
easy money TO the grantee
