we do not believe, aid we could
never convince our people, that an
investigation conducted along the
lines it is proposed to conduct this
one will disclose the true facts or
result in anything more than limit
ed or partial relief. We do not
question, your right, or the right
Of the. Commissioner, to conduct
an investigation, initiated by the
Department, in such manner as
you may deem proper, but this in
vestigation was not initiated by the
Department; it is the result of
complaints filed by our committee
acting for the General Council, and
an understanding between the De-
partment and the Committees of
Congress, or at least the Repre-
seutatives from our State, that our
complaints would be thoroughly
inquired into. As the author of
these charges we insist upon our
right to prove them. Ia order to
do this we must be put in a posi-
ton where we can conduct our
own case through an attorney cap
able of coping with the officer, and
employees of the Indian Bureau
and capable of developing the true
situation. OF course the employees
in Minnesota will cover up and
conceal from the Inspector every
thing that reflects upon their work,
and our case ought not to be turned
over to an Inspector, regardless of
his ability and integrity. to be in.
quired into as he may see fit, and
his report to be submitted in the
form of a confidential communica
ton. How can we know that our
charges were in fact investigated
and the true facts ascertained when
the investigation is"to be conduct

secrecy, where we are denied the
right to participate by the exumin-

Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Your letter Of the 9Th instant re-
ceived. While you assure us that
the investigation of our affairs
will be q full one and will be con
Quoted fairly.'' you do not advise
us that there has been any change
in the ex parte inquiry ordered by
the Commissioner. We do not
question your desire that the in

alton and cross-examination of
witnesses and such record as is
made, together with the findings
of the examiner, are to be Withheld
from US and treated as confidential
by the Department.
The only conditions under which
we are willing that the complaints
heretofore filed by our committee,
or by its attorney, may enter into
this inquiry are: That we may be
put into a position where we can
conduct our own case through an
attorney selected by US, complete
record to be made, the evidence to
be given under oath, with full
right to examine and cross examine
in the open, all records desired to
be produced, and a copy of the
transcript of the record and the
findings of tue inspector to be
furnished our committee, or its
attorney.
We cannot be responsible for
charges we are denied the right to
prove, nor can we be bound by an
investigation in which we are de.
MED any actual participation. We
are advised that our people will
nave nothing whatever to do with
the investigation, except some few
members of the tribe who have
been receiving favors at the hands
of Agent Hinton, and who. of
course, will be of no assistance to
the inspector in unearthing the
actual situation.
We must, therefore, insist upon
the immediate withdrawal from
the inspector of all complaints filed
by the Legislative Committee or
its attorney with the Department.
We regret exceedingly that we
should be compelled, in fidelity to
our people, to assume this position,
but we are determined that the

T.. Latter's Reply Thereto.

Hon. Seldom G.. Hopkins,
Assistant Secretary,

Washington, D. &.
Dear Mr.. Secretary: l.
Under date of February Is, 1918,
the Legislative Committee Of the
Chippewa General Council ad'
dressed communication to you IN
AZ pages of typewriter matter a
part of the complaints Of our peo-
Pile against the administration of
our affairs by the Indian Bureau
and its I employ ees: Our reply,
dated March 10Th contained a de-
NAL Of the more important alleea-
tions contained in our letter. On
March 18th we. wrote you, and we
here quote an extract from the first
page of that letter which we still
adhere to: + ~''s. .r. r =
Either we are deliberately mis-
representing the facts to you or
the officers of the Indian Bureau
are ignorant of the situation pre-
vail;ng in our country, and if not
ignorant then they are deliberately
deceiving you. Upon the questions
Of administration hereinafter dealt
with we call for showdown. If
We don't make good we are no
longer entitled to your confidence
or respect, if we do make good our
people should be afforded immedi-
ate relief and the men who are re.
sponsible for the conditions exist
ing should be dismissed from the
public SERVICE" :,
When the Indian appropriation
bill was before the House Of Rep.
resentatives the appropriation of
$185, 900 from our trust funds, to
be used in iefrayins a part of the
the expenses of the Indian Bureau
in maintaining the service among
the Chippewss of Minnesota for
the ensuing fiscal year against
which we complained, was stricken
from the bill. When the bill went
to tie Senate an appropriation of
S175,O 900 was included upo2 the
distinct understanding that there
would be an open, full and conf
plete investigation made If the
service maintained among the Chip
pewas Indians of Minnesota so
that the exact facts might be made
known and from which could be
determined the ACCESSIBILITY of
future appropriations for the malu-
tenance Of said service in whole or
part. After this understanding was
reached we filed, or caused to be
filed, in your office and in the Office
of the Commissioner number of
additional specific complaints some
If which were in the form of re-
ports of auxiliary organizations of
our General Council which were
made after investigation of the
facts.
Under date of April 18th, our
attorney, pursuant to our request,
wrote you relative to the proposed
investigation, its scope and the
manner ia which we suggested it

inspectors and the facts suppressed.
Not only does the question now
presented involve great property
rights, but also one of most far
reaching Importance, the. moral
we'll being Of our people. We have
charged that toe policy of the In
dian Bureau as carried into effect
among our people has, and is, re
tarding their material advancement
and in some instances actually des
troying their manhood and woman
hood. 1t has cost our people over
$260,00O a year to maintain this
service, which we claim is an actual
detriment to our people and their
progress. We do not think that
the investigation should be COP
Quoted by a man appointed by the
head of the very bureau to be ill.,
vestigated. We believe that the
investigation should be conducted
by a man appointed by the Secre-
tary, who could, without fear or
favor. 60 into any matter that may
arise either in Minnesota or in the
Indian Bureau at Washington per-
tanning to our affairs without EN-
barrassment. A man appointed by
the Commissioner cannot do this.
If there is nothing to conceal, if
the true facts are desired, then we
insist that the investigation should
be open; that we should be al forded
full opportunity to substantiate
our charges by competent proof:
that~a complete record should be
made of every syllable of evidence
entering into the inquiry; that we
should be permitted through our
attorney to have access to the rec
ords and to examine and cross ex-
anime witnesses, and that the. re-
port or finding, together Wit'ss5<a,
transcript of the record, should be
furnished us SO that if we desire
to go behind the findings we will
have an opportunity to do so. Un-
less this can be done we cannot
afford to be responsible for charges
which weare denied opportunity
to substantiate. We must decline
to take any part or have anything
TO do with an investigation based
upon ex-parte statements given in
secrecy of which no record or an
incomplete record is made and the
results of which ere submitted in
confidential communication to
which we are denied access.
We regret that Commissioner
Sells should find it necessary tc
conduct an investigation along such
lines and under such conditions,
when all that we ask and the De-
partment and Congress desires to
know is the true sistuation, the
unvarnished facts,--a thing that
every one having any interest in
the matter ought to desire. We
can only repeat our statement con-
tanned in our letter Of March 18th,
that if you will tear down the bars
of secrecy, throw open our affairs
to the light of day, we will make
good every charge contained in
our previous communications. We
are willing that the expenses of
such an investigation should be
paid entirely oct of our trust
| funds.

came back. They took US from the

America to be adopted. After We

Within ten minutes after an ap-
plication of Danderine you can not
find a single trace of dandruff or
falling hair and your scalp will not
itch, but what will please you most
will be after a few weeks use, when
you see new hair, fine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair
growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect is
amazing-your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap-
pearance Of abundance; an incom-
parable lustre, softness and luxuri-
ance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter, and
prove that your hair is as pretty
and soft as any-that it has been
neglected or injured by careless
treatment-that's all-you surely
can have beautiful hair and lots Of
it if you will just try little Dan

ADVENT URE
By DADDY
CHAPTER v.
The French War ORPHANS.
"The Haunted School"

DILLY BELGIUM didn't wait to
r. let his courage grow cold. AS
soon as he said he was going
to the aid of the strange children in
the attic he began to creep out on a
branch of the tree that overhung the
window. But first he threw aside
his fantastic Fun" costume. As
the branch bent with him, he
reached out with his foot and showed
the window in.
IF there is a kidnaper here and
he catches me, run to the Giant of
the Woods and bring him to the
rescue" he called to Peggy.
With that Billy swung himself
close to the window, caught the
ledge with his hands and drew him
self inside. Peggy had started to
climb the tree to share the danger
with him. But now she paused. 1t
would be brave to go with Billy, but
it would be wiser to wait and give
the alarm if he should need help.
Billy was back at the window be-
fore she could scramble to the
ground.
"It's just the two children" he
shouted, "and I guess they are
starved to DEATH"
Billy showed ladder through the
window from the inside. and as soon
as the lower end rested on the
ground he began to climb down,
bringing with him the little lad. The
boy was white and unconscious.
Peggy's heart leaped out to him in
quick sympathy, for he was only a
tiny youngster of 5 years and looked
terribly thin and frail. She tenderly
bent over him when Billy Belgium
laid him on the ground and started
back for the little girl. In a mo-
ment he was back again, his load
this time being much heavier, for
the girl was as large as Peggy.
Bring the water pail" cried
Peggy, who was rubbing the wrists
of the lad to get his blood circulat-
ing. Billy rushed into the school
and was quickly back with the
bucket. He and Peggy dashed water
into the faces of the unconscious
children and rubbed their wrists
briskly.
The boy was white and unconscious.
"They are French war orphans
and they have been hiding in that
school FIVE days. For two days they
haven't had a bite to eat" inter-
preted Billy.
ooh, how awful" sobbed Peggy,
"and we haven't a thing to give
them"
II wish we had here that big
batch of cookies Mother Dalton was
baking as l left the house." said
Billy. IF we only had an air
plane"
Here's a whole fleet of live air
planes" shrilled General Swallow.
we'll get those cookies" And away
he flew with the swiftest of the
birds.
~Peggy's eyes turned to the
meadow next the school yard.
"Oh, Billy, there's a cow" she
cried.
"I'll milk it," shouted Billy, grab
bing the water pail.
The little boy was now coming
out of his faint, and by the time his
eyes blinked open. Billy had cup
Of milk ready for him. And in an
other minute the birds swooped
down with dozens of fresh cookies
gripped in their claws.
"My, but Mother Dalton was mad
when she saw her cookies flying
away" shrilled General Swallow.
"She gave me boost on my way
with a rolling-pin she threw at me"
