INDIAN DEPARTMENT
HEAD URGES PROBE
Salvation of Five Civilized
Tribes Rests With Congress,
Says Commissioner.

After a survey of the conditions OF
the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes
In Oklahoma, it is my belief that the
salvation of these Indians rests with
Congress-" says Warren X Moorehear
of the United States board Of Indian
commissioners, in a report made pub
lie today. 1t is believed that the report
Is the first step in an effort to have
frauds alleged to have been practiced
on the Indians inquired into by Con-
grees and to bring about remedial leg
islation.
1t is evident from the court records,
the testimony of government officials,
and the statements of the Indians them
selves, that the tribes have lost their
lands and any money they may have
possessed because they were unable to
Withstand the intrigues, Of undesirable
white citizens" he adds.
The stories that the Indians have
TO tell regarding the methods pursued
oy white men who took advantage of
their ignorance, their cupidity. and their
faith in the white race, seem beyond
belief, but the records obtains from
employees Of the government. the vari-
Gus attorneys for the tribes, and re-
ports Of State and other officers, seem
to verify the claims of these poor peo-
pie"
The report Of Mr.. Moorehead specifies
many wrongs and frauds practiced
upon the Indians of the Five Civilized
Tribes OF Oklahoma since their lands
were removed by act Of Congress from
the supervision of the Government.

The science Of the silent drama accents Mr..

acters surrounded the production adheres to the

tania, the mythical kingdom wherein occur. all the
startling developments of the plot and the stirring

WASHINGTON TINES BUREAU.
ALEXANDRIA, VA. APRIL


The old story of the stranger who
comes to town with a roll of bills and
fails into the company of unscrupulous
companions who relieve him of the bur-
den of carrying his roll, was told in
police court today by b. I. Davis, who
had sworn out a warrant against Noah
Green and Edward Tompkins, colored,
for robbery. Davis came to town
Thursday evening and got to drinking
in a saloon in the northeastern section
of the city. His liberality in treating
was marked.
He testified that he went out with
the two men named and later had a
vague idea of some one going through
his pockets and taking his money. The
police justice dismissed the case.

night addressed Lone Star Camp, No.
