The Graham committee on expenditures
In thelnteriOr Department, which has been
investigating the Indian Office made a
report yesterday to the House in which
1t finds, as based on a printed record of
over 800 pages, not only that former Com
missioner Valentine, who resigned during
the recent campaign on the ground that

policies debated before a subcommittee
Of the Senate District Committee yester-
day in a hearing on the Kenyon red
light bill.
Commissioners Rudolph and Johnston
and Mai. Richard Sylvester, superintend-
ent of police, appeared as advocates OF
segregation. Attorney General George
Cossen, Of Iowa; Rev. NJ z. Boynton, OF
Chicago: Rev. Donald c. Macleod. OF
the First Presbyterian Church. and Will
bur F.. Crafts appeared in favor of the
policy of suppression, as called for in the
Kenyon bill.
Within the last ten years there has
been a reduction OF several hundred in
the number of disOrderly houses in the
District" Commissioner Johnston told
the subcommittee. There are now less
than 100 in the District. My personal
view Is that there is nothing as effective
as that of segregation. and ] want TO
go on record now with the statement
that Washington is the cleanest city,
from this point of view. in the coun-
try"
however. that the present laws were in
ADEQUATE to meet the situation because
no method is now provided for holding
the landlord responsible for the conduct
of his premises.
In the course of his testimony. Mai.
Sylvester indicated that a number OF
more or less prominent persons in the
District own property now used for dis
orderly purposes.
Senator Kenyon. in answer to Maj.
Sylvestcr's complaint that the existing
law is inadequate, announced that the
hill would furnish this authority.

CONSIDERS MANY COMPLAINTS.
Electric Railway Commission Also
Discusses Revision of Regulations.

Complaints of the service on half a
dozen street car lines Of the city were
given serious consideration by the Dis
trict Electric Railway Commission at a
meeting yesterday. The matter of revi-
sion of the operating and equipment reg
ulations and the request for through car
service for Chevy Chase Circle were also
discussed.
A report received from the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company re-
gardIng the complaints of frequent de-
lays. crowded, unclean, and improperly
heated and ventilated cars was. consid-
cred and active steps were ordered taken
by the commission for a thorough inves-
tigation into the causes OF complaint with
view of fixing the responsibility for
them and for their removal.
With respect TO through service to
Chevy Chase Circle, the commission de-
cided to hold a public hearing in the
court room of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on January at 1880 o'clock
p. m. The secretary submitted a prelimi-
nary report on the question of car VEN
tilation, which will be given considera-
ton at the next meeting of the commits
sion Considerable time was devoted to
revising the regulations embOdying gen.
eral orders. These regulations will be
published, and several new regulations

and that they were concocted and insti-
gated by Mr.! Valentine for the pur-
pose Of securing Fairs dismissal from
the service because of his own personal
malice toward him and without regard
to the interests Of the Indians or of the
public service"
The report also quotes from an ex-
tended correspondence between the COM
mittee and Secretary Fisher concerning
the charges under the fourth finding.
and concludes. as "a fair inference"
that certain official reports had been
nlgeOn-h oled in the department prior to
the committees investigation, and that
technicallties and delays were INDUCED
in by the department, in order to pre-
vent action by the committee.

PILOT" TO ROB
MINT UNEARTHED
Story Current in Denver, Colo,
Tells of Plan to Despoil
Uncle Sam"

Denver. Col, Dec. ia story is cur
rent here tonight OF the finding Of men,
oranda which discloses details of a plot
to blow up the Denver mint and make
away with all or a part OF the $4,000
900 stored in its vaults.
The plans were found almost two
weeks ago by the superintendent of the
public comfort station at the Denver
post-ofice, and the documents were i'm
mediately forwarded to Washington and
the force OF guards at the mint was
doubled.
1t was proposed by the men who con-
ceived the plot to tunnel under the
building to a point under the central
vault and then wreck the vaults and
possibly the building by nitro-glycerinc.
In the confusion following the explosion
a dozen men were to rush the guards
and make away with the money.
Secret Service Agent Goddard when
asked as to the truth OF the story re-
fused to discuss it.
Director Of the Mint George +. Rob
erts. when seen at his apartment in tho
Ontario last night, made light Of the
alleged plot against the Denver mint.
There's nothing TO it" he said.
SOMEBODY found some papers in a pub
lie convenience station which referred to
plot against the mint No action has
been taken by Treasury officials on the
matter It is just wind. No extra guards
have been placed at the mint. We con-
slider the present guard amply sufficient.
The story about plans to tunnel under
the building and dynamite the vaults are
entirely wrong Worse than that. they
are foolish. We propose 10 pay no atten-
ton to the papers at all. I think they
probably were a hoax. Somebody thought
