Hand, She Says.

Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray. who was ar

papers belonging to the Indian Office.
and against whom proceedings We're
dismissed yesterday. asserts that the
Government was AFRAID to continue It's
prosecution because OF revelations she
would have made regarding the conduct
OF Indian affairs.
Acting, Secretary OF the Interior
Adams said yesterday afternoon that
umes Of the Crow indian tribal rolls.
had been recovered and It was there
fore decided not to press the case.
Mrs. Gray asserts thst the Crow In
dams are being cheated and that her
arrest was only an attempt to muzzle
iii they think they can muzzle me
they are mistaken" she declared. =.
Commissioner Gave Her Records.
Mrs. Gray's official relations with the
Indian Office have been peculiar In
The tribal rolls In question were OBJ
tanned by her while employed by the
Graham Investigating Committee Of the
House. Commissioner Valentine gave
her the records after the then assis-
tant commissioner. F., II. Abbott, had
the records and refused to give them
to her.
Some months before that q protest
had been received from members of
the Crow tribe against the recognition
OF Mrs Gray as attorney. Assistant
Secretary Of the Interior Adams ad-
dressed a note to her stating that she
would no longer be recognized Is at
torney for the Crows, He stated that
at no time had she displayed power
of attorney. although he did not know
but that she might have some legal
connection with the Indians which had
not been revealed to the department.
Thorn In Commissioner Side.
II was after this notice had been sent
that Mrs. Gray was employed by the
Graham committee and subsequently
obtaired from the Indian Office the rolls
In question.
These tribal rolls contain a large part
Of the records on which Indians base
their property rights within the reser-
walton. Their examination is necessary
whenever a question OF property arises.
The rolls were taken from the Indian
Office January Mrs. Gray asserts
that they were never outside the De-
partment Of Justice. where It Is pre-
sumed they were recovered.
Mrs. Gray has been a thorn in the
side Of number OF Indian commits
sioners. She has been arrested several
times. but no longer cares for this
sort Of treatment. When last arrested
she neither engaged an attorney nor
obtained bail. She said she vas ready
to go to jail. but was released on her
personal recognizance.

mobilization orders issued by the King
OF Greece as a precautionary move in

turn to their country, and, II they fail
to do so, no steps will be taken to force
them. b.. ~

Washington who have seen service in
the Greek army who might return to
