the Indians, relate largely TO aIlot-
ments of land, and transfers of land on
the reservation under the provisions OF
the Clapp law. 1t is alleged that How
ard has withheld patents from mixed
blood Indians on one pretext or an
other, and also has done other things
that were contrary to the interests OF
the Indians.
Representative Graham Of Illinois,
chairman OF the committee on expendi-
lures in the interior department. said
today that he would give the Indians a
hearing
The committee will be glad to make
an investigation Of affairs at the White
Earth reservation, provided the COM
plant is founded on something SUBJ
stantial," said Mr.. Graham today. we
are after anything that has meaning
in 1t, although our inquiries will be
directed first to the larger questions
that have been called to our atten-
tion."
Should the investigation be made. 1t
is probable it will be conducted by a
subcommittee, which will be authorized
to go to White Earth and take testi-
mony, in order to get at all the facts.
No decision as to whether there will be
an investigation will be reached until
after the legislation has an opportunity
to make showing before the commit
tee. NO date has been set for hear
ing, but It probaly will be some time
in the near future.
