Answer to sard,s Charges.

Washington, Feb. president
Roosevelts connection with the diver
sion of Indian trust funds to the sup
port of Catholic mission schools is en
planned and justified in a commupica
ton addressed to the President by At
torney General Moody, which was filed
yesterday with the Senate committee
on Indian affairs by William H
Ketcham, director of the Bureau OF
Catholic Indian missions.
The charge had been made that the
Catholic bureau, through DR.. Il
Scharf of this city, had made promise,
of Catholic political support to the ad
ministration in return for fayors and
it was to answer this that Father
Ketcham went before the committee
to-day. He denied that DR.. Scharf hai
ever had any connection with the blu
reau, or with any branch of the Cath
Ole mission work and declared thai
whatever DIR. Scharf did was on hii
own initiative and without authority
Mr.. Moody's communication, dated
February 2, 1905, sets forth the record
of Cabinet meeting held in January
1904, when the question of the use Of
Indian funds for sectarian schools wa;
discussed and the President asked fol
an opinion as to his authority to direc,
that contracts be made for the use OF
such funds by UNCONVENTIONAL educa
tional institutions.
Senator Knox, then attorney general
decided that the action of Congress in
declaring 1t to be the policy of the
government not to permit the use OF
the public moneys of the American
people for sectarian purposes did moi
repeal previous laws giving to the sec
,-f,fa 81 tI.O ,,.k.
the Indian funds in any manner he
saw fit. Certain laws were cited to dL
rect attention to the Presidents au
thority in that regard.

SANTA FE DENOUNCED
BY THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Charged With Violating EIkins Tariff
BiII-coiorado Fuel and Iron
Company Implicated.

Washington, Feb. 4.-"Flagrant, will
full and continuous violations OF the
law during the past five years Is tho
way in which the Atchison. Topeka &c
Santa Fe railroad is arraigued in
decision promulgated yesterday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
the alleged unlawful rates and prac-
tees" of that road in the Transports
ton of coal and mine supplies, involv-
ing also the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company. The main points of the de-
cision, summarizing the way in which
1t is alleged the law has been violated
and disre garded, are as follows:
February 10, 1903, the so-called
'Elkins biip was enacted, providing
that carriers should in no case trans
port traffic until a tariff had been pub
lished and that the Published tariff
should be observed, and providing
penalty of not less than $1,000 nor
more than $4,000 for each offense.
The provisions of this statute extend
both to the railway company which
grants and the party which receives
the CONCESSIONS
Both the Santa Fe and the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company systematically
and continuously violated the provis-
ions of that act in the particulars men,
toned from the day OF Its passage
down to November 81. 1904, when the
tariffs under which this coal moved
were reduced in all cases s1.15."
The Santa Fe company, the commits
sion says. acted as agent for the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company in col.
lecting from its customers the price
of the coal itself, along, with the freight
rate, and evidence showed that in one
instance, at least this also was done
for the Victor Fuel Company.
If there existed on the part of the
Santa Fe company an intent to charge
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
less for the transportation of its coal
than the published rate, it is evident
that this method of billing would af
ford a ready means for concealing the
transaction.
In point of fact, during the entire
period covered by this investigation
the Santa Fe company did transport
coal for the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company for less than its open tariff
rates, and these concessions amounted
in many cases to the price of the coal
itself"
