IA FoLLETTE BLOCKS STEAL.
New Wisconsin Senator Exposes .
Scheme to Defraud Indians.

q N0W Wisconsin 0en0S0r EXPOSES q
Scheme to Defraud Indians.
Washington. Feb. 14.-Senator La
Toilette, who after purifying Wiscon-
sin went to the senate with the avow-
ed purpose of letting light into dark
places in the upper house Of congress,
yesterday began his campaign in earn
est by thwarting what he and other
senators termed plot to rob the In
dams of the five civilized tribes in In
dian Territory of land worth scores of
millions of dollars.
It was while acting as a member OF
the committee on Indian affairs that
Senator La Toilette discovered the
scheme. The committee had under con-
sideration a bill for the disposition of
the land held by the Indians, and was
about to order a favorable report on
1t, when Senator LaFollette asked a
question which, before it is disposed
OF, may reveal scandal Of no mean
proportions.
One of the senators as he was leav-
Ing the committee declared Mr.. LaFol-
lette had uncovered Fan infamous job
The Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians
have $4,000 acres OF the finest coal
land in this country on their reserva-
ton. OF these lands 107, 900 acres are
now under lease.
An amendment for the sale of these
lands was introduced in the senate.
The significance Of Its wording es-
capped detection until Senator La Fol-
lotte brought it out today. Under it a
appraise the value of these lands, one
commissioner to be appointed by the
secretary of the interior, another by
the holders Of the leases and the third
to be chosen by these two. The In
dians have no voice in naming any
member of the commission.
Mr.. La Toilette did not object so
much to this, but what he did protest
against was the provision in the
amendment which ordered this COM
mission not to consider any increase in
the value of the lands caused by inn
provements or developments by the
lessees. He construed this to mean
that these lands are to be appraised az
their valuation at the time the leases
were made.
It is contended that this proposition
to force the sale of these lands will
rob the Indians. At present they are
Soceiving 8 per cent royalty upon their
coal lands, and upon this basis every
acre Of land is worth $500, giving the
total reservation a value, according to
Senator Clark of Montana. a member
of the committee, of $1O5, 100000.
+ Under the restrictions imposed in the
amendment 1t is estimated that the
commission would place value Of less
than $40 an acre upon the land. To
remove all taint and whispers Of scan
dal, Senator Clark asked that the
whole matter be taken out Of the hands
of the secretary Of the interior and
that appraisers be appointed by the
president. This motion was defeated
by tie vote. The committee will at
tempt to discover who are
the lessees of these lands, and it is
rumored that if the names are OBJ
tanned 1t will be found that relative
of a high government official is one
of them.
