Charged with Improper Connection
in Business Way.
THREE SUPERVISORS WITH HIM
Schools Are Said to Have Fallen in
Disgraceful Condition.
MORAL CONDITIONS NOT BEST
Condition of Five Civilized Tribes
Found Not Best by Oscar III.
Lipps, and Prompt Action
Taken.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary Bah
linger of the Interior department today
suspended from office Superintendent John
D. Benedict of the five civilized tribes of
Oklahoma and three supervisors as the
result Of an investigation which has dis
closed "a disgrsceful condition" affecting
the material and moral welfare of the
schools.
As a result of the investigation which the
Interior department has ben carrying on
for some time, and which win be continued,
other officials of the Indian service may
suffer a like fate to that of Superintendent
Benedict and the three supervisors sus-
pended today.
The investigation which resulted in to-
days action was entered into because of
various reports regarding the department
here, charging the officials already sus-
pended as we'll as others, with activities
which 1t was thought were improper for
government employees. The suspended su-
pervisors are Calvin Hallard of the Choc-
taw schools at McAlester, Frederick ii.
Umholtz of the Chickasaw schools, Ard
more and Walter Falwel of the Creek
schools at Muskogee. Before any further
action is taken in their cases, the four
men win be allowed to make answer to
the secretary of the interior as to the
charges against them
Schools Arc Neglected.
From the report made in the case 1t ap-
pears that Superintendent Benedict Is con-
nected with certain business interests In
Oklahoma which have more or less busi-
ness with the Indians, which Relationship
II was believed was wholly Incompatible
with his service as superintendent. He
had permitted the schools, 1t was reported,
to fall into disgraceful condition and the
supervisors have neglected their duties in
the enforcement of school contracts and
in matters affecting the material and
moral conditions surrounding the conduct
of the schools.
Oscar H Pippe of the Indian office.
supervisor of Indian schools, who was
sent to Oklahoma with the charges, noti-
fled the department here today of his ar
rival and that he has relieved Superin-
tendent Benedict pending the result of the
investigation. The duties of the suspended
supervisor will be performed temporarily
by detailed clerks of the Indian office.
Superintendent Benedict has been con-
nected with the Indian service for ten
| years.
Secretary Ballinger and Commissioner
Valentine of the Indian office announce
that the investigation of conditions sur.
rounding the schools, although not con-
Quoted publicly, will be thorough, and
that the conduct of the officers RESPONSE
BILE for the present conditions will be
looked into most carefully
