he may write. print, say or do. Indian af-
fairs will proceed without reference To

Hitchcock aud urged him 10 hear Scheil.
The secretary refused and in turn threw
some light into Roscwater's mind con-
corning Schell and his methods. Mr..
Rosewater expressed great surprise when
acquainted with the facts, and intimatcd
that had he known them he might have
changed bis plans.
archbishop Ryan and Father Kctch-
am talked with the secretary aud gave
him TO understand clearly that they re-
pudiatcd Schcll and his acts. and that he
had no standing in the church. Mr.. Rose
water sought TO bring about an interview
between Kctcham and Schell, but Ketch-
am declined.
I'VE are tircd and sick OF Schcil, who
II evidently not OF sound mind. For years
he has poured Ia letters. kilograms aud
complaints. Two years g the secretary
took Schcll 90 Assistant Attorney General
Van Devanter. now judge OF the circuit
court, aud asked him TO listen to SchcIl
and do what he could TO remedy the al

much annoyed, but dropped important
business and laid the matter before
Judge Brent, OF the department OF JUS
tice. who Is n Catholic. with instructions
TO do what could be done. Inspectors
were sent, Investigations made and still
Schell dinged away.
"Schell saw the president because Mr..
Roscwater went In person and requested
Il, aud the president could not very well
refuse. However, Secretary Hitchcock
will not see him. or pay any further at.
~tention TO him."
