M00RHEAD AGAINST
the CHIpPEWAS.

Warren X. Moorhaad has been
making strenuous efforts to pre-
vent one, and possibly two, OF the
amendments now On the Indian APP
preparation bill relating to the
Chippewas of Minnesota, from be-
ing passed by Congress. This has
resulted in some protests beng
filed by the officers of the General
Council with members Of Congress
against Mr.. Moorhead's actions.
1t Was learned recently that Mr..
Moorhead was placed upon the Elk
ecutive committee of the Indian
Rights Association, but on account
) of his interference outside of his
duties as such officer, he was let
out of the committee.
The Indian Rights Association
will not tolerate any member OF
it's executive committee mixing up
in the factional differences OF In
dian tribes.
Mr.. Moorhead wrote letters to a
number of the members OF Con
resssinzwhiail le opposed nearly
everything the delegates of the
General Council did during the
past winter at Washington, and as
he particularly named the publish
err of The TOMAHAwK in his crltl-
cisms, the latter, who is still at
Washington, wrote as follows to
President Wilson with a view to
having the statements of Mr..
Moorheaa investigated and like
wise his actions in connection with
Chippewa matters:
Washington, ID. q.
.... April 10, 1916.
To the President
of the United States:
1T has become my duty as
an authorized delegate and repre-
sentative of the Ch:ppewas of
Minnesota to submit to you GER
tain matters which do, because l
believe they cannot be dealt with
in any other way, and give the In
dams relief.
Mr.. Warren K. Moorhead, a
member of the Board of Indian
Commissioners, has recently writ
ten letters to members of Con-
gress containing statements evil
IDENTIFY intended to- destroy any
usefulness that the delegates OF
the Minnesota Chippewas may
have in connection with pending
legislation, affecting their tribal
matters. These statements, l be-
lieve you can easily convince your
self, are false and libelous. While
his attacks are directed Immediate
Nv at me, they are not confined to
me, but impugn the motives and
reflect injuriously upon the charac-
: ter of other delegates appointed
by the Chippewa General Coun-
eli. who returned to Minnesota
some weeks ago.
Because of the great harm Mr..
Moorhead worked among the
White Earth Chippewas in Mime
sofa some years ago, melting them
to dishonest and debasing methods
of trickery in connection with the
sale of their individual alIotments
of land, I took occasion in my
newspaper, THE ToMAHAwK: to
criticise his official work in un
measured terms, and this he, has
evidently not forgotten, since he
now undertakes to attack me and

of The TOMAHAwK without the
knowledge of the editor.
That Ser. Cal p will be cand :

be no question in the minds of his
constituents throughout this state.
That be has failed to file for the

a secret fashion. I believed then
and believe now, that his influence
upon the Indians was calculated to
debauch their manhood, and to
lower the Government in their
eyes.
1t is evident that if anyone who
holds the official position that Mr..
Moorhead does, is free to make
clandestine attacks upon the dele
gates of the tribe, especially in
their representative capacity, the
efficiency of the delegates can
easily be destroyed here at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Moorhead, in his letter,
charges among other things that |
am maintaining a lobby here. l
make it rule to meet openly
every charge against me, and il
the fact that | have devoted my
time here every winter for the
past twenty years in the interests
Of the Chippewas of Minnesota,
and have sought to procure such
legislation for them as seemed
best, is matter of blame | will
willingly bear it; but no member
of committee Of Congress can
say ! have ever approached him in
behalf Of any other tribe than my
own, and no member of such COM
mittee can Say that l have misin-
formed him about Chippewa mat
ters. l have tried to render assist
ance in procuring Legislation for
the protection of the best interests
of the Chippewas, and such as |
have been directed to do by their
COunCltS al nome.
In one case at least, the Mile
Lac case, we succeeded in obtain
ing leave to go to the Court Of
Claims and to the Supreme Court
of the United States, and obtained
a judgme Mt Of over 100000.
in 1906 a law was passed which
permitted adult mixed-blood Chip
pewus of the White Earth Reser-
walton to ALLEVIATE their allotments
of land. AS a result several humid
red thousand acres of land we're
ch:rown upon the market.
It transpired, as was to be ex-
pected, that some minors and
Others who afterwards claimed to
be full. bloods, sold their allot-
ments upon their own representa-
tions under oath, that they were
adult mixed bloods.
About this time Mr.. Moorhead
it seems, happened to come to De-
troit, Minnesota, on q pleasure
trio and learned Of conditions on
the White Earth Reservation. He
Immediately returned to Washing
ton and obtained an appointment
as Special United States Indian
Agent, went back to Minnesota
and spent the summer on the
White Earth Reservation.
Soon afterwards he was quoted
throughout the Reservation as au
thority for the statement that who
ever had sold his allotment could
recover it, if he would make an
affidavit that he was a full-blood,
and thus annul the effect of pre-
vious afidavits made when he
alienated his lands and received
the consideration for the same.
l must say in defence of large
majority of mixed bloods, that
they did not avail themselves of
any such dishonest means, but
stood by their bargains. Many
others, however, trusting in Mr..
Moorhead, who bad come into
their midst with official sanction
and authority, were weak enough
to sell their manhood for the
promise that was held out to them,
and hundreds Of foolish, almost
vicious, suits were started by NJ.

As The little missionary who came 70
Porto Banos TO get married, Miss Alinc
Thompson, known as Lucy Sheridan,
graced the boards with her pleasing and
attractive personality and put over the
very difficult part in thoroughly
ereditable manner. II was her lot to be
demure, retiring, to- be all that every
one else was not, and it was hard
thing to do But Miss Thompson S abil-
lty as an actress put the part over in
a satisfactory manner. In all the acts
she showed the repressing influence of
the north in contrast with the exuber-
ant, exotic life of the tropics. She was
gowned tastefully and appropriately in
each of the three acts and made a pleas
ing oasis in the terror and intrigue of
the revolution, although she was swept
into its clutches herself.
Miss Margery Marvin as Mrs. John
IT. Bowie, the wife of the consul, was
favorably received and played a con-
sistent part. She had difficult rola
TO take and performed it ereditably.
Her strong scene was in the third act
when she is separated from her hus-
band, who has just been arrested.
AN the fire of the tropics seemed to
find expression in the acting and cos.
tune of Mrs. Carlton Smith who took
the aprt of Sonora Jlanitt Arguilla, a
widow from Panama. From her first
entrance to her last exit she had her
audience with her. She gave thor
oughly satisfying Interpretation of the
passionate tropical woman who instead
of suing for breach of promise would
plunge dagger into the heart of the
| falthless one. In gesture, facial express
sion, and general make up she was all
that the author imagined when he ere
ated the part.
But the Mexican army must not be
| forgotten, nor the American marines.
They were typical and gave an admir-
able setting to the show, which will
be repeated this evening.

Sees Good Corn Here

Stevens county corn eXcells that
grown in wide Iowa territory of
which Marshalltown is the centre ac-
cording to j. Fl. Holdgrafer who is
here this week to look after his farm
interests at Donnelly. Mr.. Holdgrafer
is corn and live stock man at Mar
shalltown and knows good corn when
he sees it. He arrived in Morris
Tuesday afternoon and will remain
a week
According to Mr.. Holdgrafer Iowa
has not had a good rain since July
4th, when everybody was out to cele.
brate The prolonged drouth and ex-
cessive heat has been disastrous to
corn and was the means of wiping
out almost entirely what promised to
be an abundant potato crop. Iowa
has some fine corn in several places
but the most of it will be failure
and we are looking for unusually high
prices on seed corn next year. said
Mr.. Holdgrafer yesterday. Some of
the best corn | have seen this year is
right here in Stevens county and |
was surprised. This has certainly been
a freak year. Can't recall year like
it it since | began farming. -
Mr.. Holdgrafer is the owner of
the farm managed by j. W. Carr.
Last spring Mr.. Carr bought farm
near Cyrus and will move onto it with
his family. Just who will succeed
him as tenant on Holdgrafer's farm
will be determined during Mr.. Hold
grafer's visit here this week. He has
several applicants.
