INDIAN CLERK HELD
IN CARLISLE INQUIRY
Suspended Superintendent Has
Him Arrested for Alleged
Theft Of Funds.

CARLISLE. Pa. March 90. - The long
drawn out investigation Into the affairs
Of the Carlisle Indian School as admins
tered by Supt. NJ. Friedman took a sudden
and unexpected turn here to-day In the
arrest of Chief Clerk Siceni J. Nori, an
educated Indian who for some years
has had charge OF the office work at the
school. The arrest was made on informa-
tion preferred by Friedman the suspended
superintendent. who alleges that Nori has
cnibezzled moneys belonging to Indian
students and has been guilty OF the re-
moval and destruction OF memoranda
OF receipts for such moneys.
John w. Wetzei. who 10 associated with
". U. Henscl OF Lancaster and william
A. Kramer OF Carlisle. other attorneys
for Friedman. !saued a statement this
afternoon In which he said that rumors
had come to Mr.. Friedman that Nori in
an examination by q Government In
spector had made acknowledgment Of the
m!Rappropr!ation OF certain funds belong
ing TO Indian students and that he had
removed from the office Of the school
banker. VIII II. Miller. certain receipts
given for said funds.
.Nori is alleged TO have shifted the
blame on Mr.. Friedman in the statement
made for Government Inspector LINEN.
who gathered most Of the evidence and
formulated the charges FOR which Fried
man has been under investigation during
the pas, two months. These charges are
now awaiting transmission for Il day Of
hearing before the Indian Commissioners
in Washington.
MIR. Fri, oman and his friends con-
cluded." said Mr.. Wetzel. that the only
thing he could do. while he regretted the
move. was to arrest Nori and thus invite
a full and open invs stigation I'm the docu-
men,ary .lles at the Carlisle Indian School
to establish the identity Of the person
-
This afternoon De tective Bentley. acting
under a search warrant, made thorough
investigation Of the apartments occupied
BY the chief clerk. II IL understood that
large number OF documents from the
nles OF the offices were discovered and
impounded before Magistrate Hughes. but
as TO their character Attorney Kramer
would say nothing.
The accused clerk !s held in $1,000
bail. II Is thought here that the publicity
now forced on the investigators will re-
suit In clear definition OF just what Is
charged against Superints ndent Fried
man. Local sentiment Is Amos, a unit
In support of Friednane administration.
Friedman. although suspended FOR many
weeks was not informed until yesterday
as to the charges against him. These.
his friends say. he has smashed to pieces
with conclusive answers and direct refu-
tation. The charges have not been made
public.

Friend.
DOESN'T HELP GRAFT HUNT
Fails to Supply "Missing Link"
in Contract Buying
Inquiry.

James Il. Carney. contractor. friend OF
contractors and political associate Of
Charles +. Murphy. was witness yes
terday before tho Grand Jury which has
been investigating for several months the
awarding Of aqusduct contracts and other
alleged forms Of sraft
The statute Of limitations added yester-
day to the resources OF those who have
been named in connection with the trans
action by which Patterson 4 Co.. of, Pitts
burg got an aaueduct contract after they
had paid S41.e50. The money was paid
FIVE years ago yesterday.
James q. Shaw, who said he acted as
agent for Patterson 4 Co.. has testified
that he paid the money. but he has sworn
that he can't remember to whom he paid
It.
All he can remember IL that he paid
the money according to instructions given
to him by John NJ. Murphy. Mr.. Murphy
has testified that he told Shaw to pay It
to James 4. Carney and that ne received
20 per cent OF II for his labor In ar
ranging the payment.
So II was that Mr.. Gaffney. free from
any apprehension that he might be pro-
cecded against for the part which Murphy
says he played In the transaction. was
called yesterday In the hope that he might
enlighten the Grand Jury AS to the iden-
tity OF the pers IN who received the money
from Shaw and as to the identity OF other
persons among whom this money may
have-been divided.
Mr.. 9affney did not give the desiyed
information. He was questioned for up
ward Of an hour In the Grand Jury room.
When he came out he was not 30 clipper
as usual. lie didn't say a word about the
prospects OF the Boston Nationals when
he was asked to repeat what he had told
the Grand Jury. He just said that he
wouldn't say anything The members OF
the District Attorneys staff were equally
retics mt. but II was apparent In their de-
meanor that Gaffney's testimony had ad-
vanced their investigation but slightly.
II was learned yesterday that one OF
the reasons why the Grand Jury IL averse
to dropping the aqueduct investigation Is
that evidence has been obtained to show
where some OF the Sal. $50 paid BY Patter-
son Il Co. went Here. as in other

WASHINGTON, March :0.-An inquiry
mo the official conduct OF DAME! Thew

tive Park Of Georgia. Mr.. Park to-day
,mpeached Judge Wright, and he will
follow this up by presenting a resolution
directing the Committee on the judiciary
10 make an investigation of charges pre-
ferred against the jurist.
"Mr. Speaker. By virtue Of my right as
q member OF the House OF Representatives
I lnpesch Daniel Thew Wright Associate
Justice. of the Supreme Court OF tho
District Of Columbia. OF high crimes and
mlsdenicanors In OFFICE" said Mr.. Park in
tie House.
Mr. Park was about to proceed when
Representative Mann OF Illinois, Republ-
can leader, made the point of no quorum.
Representative Buchanan OF Illinois. Dem
oc.at. demanded division on a motion
TO adjourn. BY n vote of SO to 20 the
House voted to adjourn.
As a motion to impeach Is Of the high

Park can be shut of. Chairman Clayton
OF the judiciary Committee said to-day
that II u resolution of inquiry was offered
would doubtless be passed.

nlt,ee made 1t clear that It would make
10 inquiry into the conduct OF any Judge
Unless he was formally inpeached by a

The charges against Justice Wright
were made by Wade Cooper, president
OF the Union Savings Bank OF this city.
Mr. Cooper accused the jur!st of many
serious offences and characterized his con-
duo: US - disgrace to the judiciary"
He asserted that Justice Wright had
accepted .avors from attorneys practising

Violation Of the statutes Of the United
States and that he has committed other
oTences. Charges were also made by Mr..
Cooper bearing on Justice Wright's pri.
s.r lie.
All the charges have been emphatically
denied by Justice Wright and have been
attributed to the fact that he appeared as
witness in case against Banker
Cooper.
