ADAMS IN A ROW
ne Runs Amuck When he Went
Up Against Mr.. Mott
SCENE OCCURRED AT CAPITOL
Did Adams Demand an Investigation
Of Alleged bribery Charges The
President Still Urges Congress TO
Aet-A Most Remarkable Politi-
cal Situation
Special to TIE Caucasian.

Special to TIE Caucasian.
Washington, ID. c., May 1.-THE
resolutions recently offered In the
Senate and the House providing for
a congressional investigation OF
Judge Adams and his Indian Citizen
ship Court caused him to come here
Friday of last week with an attorney
with view TO looking after his de-
Tense 1t Is safe to say that what
ever he learned or did not learn or
did or did not do, that his case is
in no better shape now than before
he came. OF course he urged the
committees to make a searching in
vestigation of the charges of alleged
bribery as he said he would do, as
he is truthful man and is not
afraid.
This writer has been informed of
quite a hot alteration that occurred
between Mr.. Adams and Mr.. NJ. l..
Mott, the national attorney for the
Creek Nation at the Capitol. The
scene occurred in the ante-room of
the Committee on Indian Affairs
where the two men met. 1t seems
Mr.. Mott spoke to Mr.. Adams when
they met in the usual way, but that
Mr.. Adams refused to speak and in
return said to Mr.. Mott, in an ugly
way, that he did not care to speak
to him; whereupon, Mr.. Mott re-
sponded with some strong and ex-
pressive language to the effect that
he had no confidence in Mr.. Adams
integrity and that rumors about him
were very ugly. This writer has not
been able to confirm the words that
took place, but has given the sub
stance as reported to him. 1t seems
that Adams acted just like a man
would who has guilty conscience.
The President is insisting that
Congress shall not adjourn without
passing at least some more of the re-
form measures which he has urged
upon Congress in two or three re-
cent messages, and it now seems that
Congress may not adjourn as early
as was at first expected, and that at
least one of the measures urged by
the President, if not more, may be-
come a law.
Each day the number of delegates
that are elected pledged to vote for
Mr. Taft for President is increasing,
and yet, at the same time, each day
the popular demand that Roosevelt
should again serve the people is in
creasing at an equal. if not greater,
ratio. This demand that the Presi
dent should again serve the people,
in view of his many times expressed
determination not to do SO, presents
one of the most remarkable situa-
tions in American history.
