GEN. PRATT RELIEVED
At CARLISLE SCHOOL
Criticism of Indian Bureau and Secre-
taTy Hitchcock Responsible for His
Detachment From Duty.

Gen. Richard H. Pratt, L. S. A, re-
tired, has been detached from duty as
superintendent of the Indian school at
Carlisle, Pa. Capt. William A. Mercer,
Seventh Cavalry, has been named as
his successor.
The recent attack OF General Pratt
upon the Indian Bureau. and his con-
troversy with Secretary Hitchcock are
supposed TO have caused Secretary Taft
TO place another man in charge of the
school.
No superintendent or the Carlisle
school was ever more active than Cen
eral Pratt in advancing the interests
Of the young Indians intruSted to his
care. His views concerning Indians are
at variance with those OF Government
scientists and the Department OF the
Interior.
His harsh criticism or Administration
