RING IN

THAT BANKERS MANlPU-
LATED TRUST FUNDS
Special to The Daily Leader.

opcCidl W i NE Ddlly l4edueF.
Washington. ina 2l.--That "an in
side ring Of bankers of Pawhuska,
Okla. had been permitted by Usage
agency officials to manipulate trust
funds of the Osages so that the bank
ers get the lions share of the money
intended for the Indians, and that the
Indian office has taken no steps to
correct the alleged evil which was
called to the attention of Commits
sioner Sells in resolutions passed by
the Usage council last July was the
testimony OF former Usage Attorney
p. "A. Shinn, before the Robinson joint
congressional Indian commission Tues
day evening.
shinn asserted that the ring had
been powerful enought to dictate the
appointment Of Superintendent Car
roll and that Carroll had been a guest
at poker parties where he has been
permitted to win by his banker
friends.
Among the poker parties" referred
to was enc supposedly held at the
home Of Dr. Hall, where Carroll was
present. shinn explained, however,
that ne had no intentions OF con-
demning the game of poker, one Of
the greatest of indoor sports.
When pressed as to influences ex-
erted to retain Superintendent Car
roll Mr.. Shinn said that he assumed
that Congressman Mcclure, at the re-
quest OF the banker, Mr.. Vandervort
of Pawhuska, had been responsible
/ for CAROLS appointment He stat
ed that many kilograms had been sent
the department asking that Superin-
tendent Carroll be retained al the
, Usage agency. He told the commits
sion that ruling of Assistant Attof-
ney General West Of the interior de-
partment as to the right OF competent
heirs of deceased Osages to sell their
interest in inherited lands had been
kept secret at Pawhuska, and that on
ly those on the inside" had had
knowledge of the ruling until after
several valuable tracts of land had
been purchased by them at their own
price

FIERCE FIGHTING CONTINUES

AT widely separated pointsN else
where on the western front there
have been engagements. but the wealth
er again is playing an important part.
The storm in Belgium prevents OPP

snow in the yosges, at the other ex-
tremity of the line, makes attacks ex-
ccedingly difficult.
In the rArgonne, however, fighting
is almost continuous, and each side
claims minor successes. For the
time being the Germans seem to be
more on the offensive than the de-
Fensive.
