INDIANS CALL ON SCOTT
Army Chief of Staff Held in High
Esteem by Red
Men.

Delegations of Indians that now visit
Washington invariably call at the War
Department TO pay their respects to
Brig. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, L. S. A. chief
of staff. They may fail to go to the
White House to call upon the great
white father, but always ask to be
shown to the War Department, and
there walt patiently until their turn
comes to be admitted to Gen. Scott's.
room. One of he most interesting
groups of Indian visitors that Gen.
Scott has had since assuming the
duties of chief of staff included All
pea-tone (Wooden Lance), chief Of the
Kiowas. and Isseo (Plenty Fire Places).
Kiowa chief. both from Oklahoma.
This pair of Indians of the old type
formed Gen. Scott's acquaintance when
he was a lieutenant fresh from West
Point. 1t was largely through their
influence that Gen. Scott was able to
keep the Kiowas at peace with their
white neighbors during the ghost
dances, when there were hostilities in
all of the Indian countries extending
from old Intian territory up into Brit
ish America The friendship formed at
that time between Gen. Scott and the
Indian chiefs has never been broken,
and the Indians always go to Gen.
Scott with their troubles. Neither of
the chiefs speaks much English. Gen.
Scott could have talked freely with
them in their native dialect, but they
preferred the sign language, and much
to the entertainment of the officers and
= congressional visitors at the depart
ment, the three sat for about an hour
-recounting their early experiences by
motions of the hand. While at the de-
partment the Indians asked for Gen.
Miles. whom they had met in the
numerous Indian campaign conducted
by him many years ago, but as he was
not at the department they had to be
satisfied with view of his portrait.
