YOUNG INDIANS
 BEING SW|NDLED Professional Guardians Are Overcharging for Serv-
 ices, Says Mott

Washington. December 11.-Great in- the minors among the Indians of okla homa as a result of exorbtantly costly administration of the funds of these minors by professional guardians, ae- cording to report made today to Sec retary of the Interior Fisher by M. L. Mott of Muskogee, national attorney for the Creek tribe If Indians in Okla homa.
 Secretary Fisher immediately sent copies of the report to all members of the Senate and House Indian affairs committees, to members of the Okla homa delegation and to others inter- ested in Indian affairs. He called at tention to the fact that only last Au- gust President Taft had vetoed pill which would have removed practically all restrictions from the members oi the five civilized tribes of oklahoma in the handling of their property.
 MT Motts report shows that in in- dividual cases the cost of administer ing the estate of minor Indians was more than 90 per cent of the money handled, and numerous cases were cited from state court records in which this cost ranged from 50 to 75 per cent. Tho average cost of administration in 50 states throughout the country was dis covered to be only about 3 per cent
 As a remedy Mir. Fisher suggested the appointment of four attorneys to render free legal service, in selecting property guardians for the minors and in advising the guardians whenever called upon.

PRESIDENT TAFT IS OFFERED CHAIR AT
 YALE UNIVERSITY
May Go To Augusta for Va cation After He Leaves
 White House

Washington December I.-President Taft is considering an offer of the ex- change professorship at the Yale Uni versity for the Kent chair. The place which has been vacant for several years. and was last filled by Professor Phelps. at one time American minister to Great Britain, has been formally rendered to MT. Taft and he has talked over the offer with his cabinet, but has arrived at no definite decision. Should he accept the Kent chair his relation to the uni- versity would be much the same as was former President Cleveland's relation to Princeton.
 MT. Taft is considering this offer On one side and his original announced in tention to practice law. Some pf his he will accept the Yale place though they do not expect he will make up his mind before next month. The President has had the proposal to go to Yale under ad- yisement for months. He is already a member of the Yale corporation and his desire to return to New Haven has weighed against one to go back to Cin- cinnati and take his oldest son, Robert into his office and establish law prac- tice in his old home.
 Edward John Phelps who last held the Kent professorship died in 1900 He was q distinguished lawyer, and an active democrat. Under President Fillmore MT. Phelps was appointed second comptroller of the treasurer, and in 1SS0 was presi- dent of the American Bar association. In the same year he was the unsuccessful democratic candidate for governor of Yer mont, his home state. He was made minister to Great Britain by President Cleveland in 1885, and served until the end of that presidents first term.
 Whatever decision is reached by the President it is almost certain that he will take a rest of month after he leaves the White House. He is seriously considering his trip to Augusta Ga., where he has spent two winter vacations since he became chief executive The President is fond of Augusta, and is doubly attached to the place. because it was the home of his former aide Major A. W. Butt, who went down with the steamer Titanic. Within the last few days MT Taft has taken up the question of a Georgia vacation with sey- eral Augusta friends, and is expected to decide the matter shortly. The Kent endowment pays $5oOO annually.
 New Haven, Conn, December 11-Pro- lessor Hadley of Yale, did not deny to- day that there had been an informal conference on the subject of President Taft accepting the Kent professorship of law at Yale university He did say also that the matter had not been for maly acted upon in any way.
