UNDER A CLOUD, HE SAYS

lat time when the Department of the
Interior is under the gravest charges and
under a cloud before the American peo-
pie. these recommendations should not
have weight here" declared Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of New York yesterday,
in opposing an amendment to the Indian
bill for the abolition Of Indian warehouses.
The proposed change in the method of
making purchases for the Indian Office
had the approval of the Secretary of the
Interior.
The amendment was proposed by Chair
man Burke of the committee which re-
ported the measure to the House. BY its
terms five Indian warehouses, at New
York, st. Louis. Chicago, Omaha and
San Francisco, would not be maintained
unless the Secretary of the Interior should
deem it advisable to do so.
Should Not Cite Ballinger.
Now this new Secretary continued
Mr. Fitzgerald. with a desire to improve
the public service in so many ways, and
while he is being Investigated under
charges-from which, l hope. he will be
exonerated. but which up to this time are
cloud upon llm-SnOuIQ not DC CiIeu
here upon proposed legislation. the only
effect of which will be to produce in the
Indian service the most extensive system
of graft and fraud which the country has
ever experienced.
Mr.. Fitzgerald reference to the Sec
rotary of the Interior was made near the
end of three-hour debate on the amend
ment affecting the Indian warehouses.
during which Representatives Parsons
and Fitzgerald of New York. Bartholdt
of st. Louis, Hitchcock of Nebraska and
Kahn of California upheld the existing
warehouse system. while Representatives
Burke Of South Dakota. Miller of Mime
sofa and Saunders of Virginia were prom
inent i'm advocating their abolition. Rep
Mann of Illinois Joined the
of the warehouse system.
Would Make Frauds Possible.
The burden of Mr.. Fitzgeralds opposi-
ton to the amendment was that by ship
ping supplies direct to reservations the
present effective system of inspection
would be destroyed, and in that way ex-
tensive frauds would be made possible.
Chairman Burke. preferring to defer
action on the amendment until tomor-
row, sought an Adjournment. which was
only reached after roll call of the House
had demonstrated the absence of quo
rum.
