 Washington, Feb. 13.-In manner that lays the charge of fraud at the door of the department of justice and sets up in effect demand for the ar raignment of Attorney General Bona parte before the bar either of a crimi- nal court or of the senate in impeach. ment proceedings Representative Ste phens of Texas has revived in the house the old scandal of the dls- missal of indictments against five In. dian Territory men. The indicted men were Governor Johnston and ex-Gov- ernor Moseley of the Chickasaw na- tion and Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish, members of law firm of Ardmore.
 They were charged with defrauding the Chickasaw nation out of $31,000 by means of false expense vouchers.
 Two years ago as a result of ap- peals on their behalf by personal friends of the president he directed an investigation by the department of justice in advance of any effort to bring the indicted men to trial, and after that investigation he directed the dismissal of the indictments. The fed erai district attorney at Ardmore, W. B. Johnson, refused to dismiss the in- dictments, and an order was made out for his own dismissal. But that was recalled and he was permitted to serve out his term, which expired in few days.
 Mir. Stephens is now endeavoring to have the matter investigated by con- oracS
