X Smiley called the 22nd annual Indian
conference 10 order.
Charles j. Bonaparte, member OF the
Indian commission, was chosen as per-
manent chairman o. the conference. In
his opening address. Mr.. Bonaparte
quoted at some length from the report
made to the secretary of the interior last
March by the special commission. OF
which he was a member appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
allotment Of lands belonging to the five
civilized tribes OF the Indian Territory.
After reviewing the wrongs and in
justice suffered by the Indians under
the operations of the present laws the
speaker quoted from that paragraph of
the report which says: In view of
these facts 1t is not surprising that pro-
found encouragement and a feeling akin
to despair should be widely prevalent
among the genuine Indians. Compare

Mr.. Bonaparte said in concluding his
remarks:

interior are earnest ana unselfsh friends

Gen. Whittlesey Of the board of Indian
commissioners then gave a resume of
