HOUSE COMMITTEE CENSURES
FORMER INDIAN COMMIS-
SIONER VALENTINE.
He Violated MANY LAWS
Broke Criminal Law by Introducing
and Disposing of Liquor on An
Indian Reservation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Robert
C. Valentine, who recently resigned
as commissioner of Indian affairs,
was censured in a report today by
the committee on expenditures in the
interior department after an investi-
CATION of charges against him.
The committees report stated that
Mr. Valentine deliberately violated the
civil service laws, caused improper eX-
penditures of public funds, precipitat-
ed the removal of the general super
intendent of loggin in the Indian serv-
ice on false and groundless rumors
and was guilty of criminal violation
of law prohibiting Introducing and
disposlng Of liquor on an Indian res
erVation.
The report will be submitted to the
house. The department Of justice al
ter an investigation of some of the
charges against the former commits
sioner dismissed them.
The committee report cited the
causes that led to the charge that Mr..
Valentine violated the law by intro
ducing liquor on the Usage lands in
Oklahoma, IAN affront to the law he
was sworn to enforce" as a corroral-
airy to the case of James Y. Hamilton.
who was superintendent of the Stand
ing Rock reservation who was charged
with drinking The report said the
committee respected a telephone re-
quest from the secretary of the in
terror on April %. last, that in view
of the Indian commissioners recon-
mending Hamilton for dismissal, "it
might be the committee would not
proceed further with the investigation
concerning that matter" but follow
ing the committees inquiry on August
8, the first assistant secretary Of the
interior replied April 13 that Hamil-
ton returned to Standing Rock on the
distinct understanding that dismissal
would follow his indulgence in liquor.
The report characterized as "vic-
ious impropriety" letters sent by VAL
entine as commissioner to the super
intendent of the La Pointe agency in
Washington suggesting the collection
and submission to him of material
which might be used against J. r.
Farr, a timber expert who. it was
said. had saved millions of dollars
to the Indians, and to James A. Car

Have you not seen many instances

cial men getting vast control and
abusing It through a long period Of
years before they lost it?" asked Mr..
Untermyer.
mo not in any one particular line
nor anybody that has what you call
