postponed and will probably not be
held until the next regular meeting

Pollock Order
DR.. Susan La Flesohe Picotte Says
Department is Merely Temper
izing with Indians.

WALTHILL, Neb., Dec. 3~0,-(Special
Telegram.)-The latest decision of Assist
ant Commissioners of Indian Affairs Fred
H. Abbott to return A. G. Pollock. the
Omaha Indian superintendent, temporarily
until the situation on the Omaha Teserva-
ton quiets, has served to enliven matters
considerably more here,
When seen in regard to this latest move
ment, DR.. Susan LaFlesche Piccotte, on
behalf OF the Indians, made the following
statement:
The Omaha Indians have had insult
added to injury and naturally feel more
resentful than ever over the receipt Of
the latest special from Washington. They
connot see wherein the Indian office has
acceded to their demands for a separate
superintendent and the retention OF A. G.
Pollock. The Indian department should
be beyond the dignity Of a ruse and plainly
shows 1t does not understand the intel
lectual status OF the Omahas. Such an
affront only increases the determination
to cut loose from all departmental ~restrio-
tons"

Of their creation, they are willfully in posi-
