Developments so far which have
strongly revealed themselves in
the initial sessions of the Llnnen-|
Wadsworth inquisitional which
took place at the Indian boarding
school assembly hall last week
have manifestly emphasized the
predictions of The ToMAHAwK to
effect that the whole proceedings
is rankly permeated with biased
prejudice, distorted with uncon-
cealed partially and that it is,
sumed-up in q nutshell, frantic
effort on the part of the Indian
bureau to camouaage or more
properly speaking ''white-wash"
any aud all discrepancy on the
part of agency officials in the man
agement of agency affairs, trans.
eressions of incompetent employ
ees and, last but not least. to dis
credit and impeach the principles,
honest purposes and the personelle
of the Legislative Committee OF

Citizen Indians
Ia What way Would 4 6snsraI Declare.
ton Of Citizenship Attest the Indians.

(By Dennison Wheelock, in American
Indian Magazine.)
1t is unreasonable to expect all
Indians who are given patents in
fee simple for their allotments to
to be successful in view Of their
limited training in handling their
own business affairs; for in fact
many of them sell their land and
squander their money in drink.
However, this Is not an argument
against making the Indians citi-
zens and giving them their prop.
erty to do with as they see fit. l
cite the case of a certain Oneida
Indian who ran through his money
until he had only twenty-five cents
left and no one would loan him
any money. This>lndian managed
to get to Milwaukee, Wis.,, where
he got a job. BY application and
industry he rose to a position of
responsibility. This shows what a
worthless Indian can do for him.
self if the medicine of necessity is
supplied to him. Another Indian
whose patent in fee simple was re-
fused by the Department because
he was clearly incompetent aid in
capable of managing his own
affairs was permitted to sell his
allotment for 100000 cash. The
money was deposited in = bank to
his credit and was drawn out in
$40 monthly installments upon
checks ISSUED under the supervis-
ion of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. This man was = heavy

with al average daily attendance

=. Right you are, and the charming
p.rt of this delightful proposition
is the fact that the many good
friends Of the Minnesota Chippewa
Indians, in Congress, provided, in
spite Of the strenuous efforts of the
Indian bureau officials to the con-
trary, that the said sum is to be

in the Indian appropriation bill,
marked reimbnrsable, from Chip.
pe~a tribal funds, at the instance
of the Indian bureau, was stricken
from the bill in its initial consid-
Grafton by the Indian committee
of the House. This exoroitant
sum of Chippewa Indian money
would have been eliminated en-
tireiy had not the officials of the
Indian bureau plead and begged
before the Indian Senate Commit
tee that the Indian bureau had al
ready made provisions and con-
tracts TO: the several Minnesota
reservations and that it was actual
ly necessary to have the sum
provided" etc. The Senate Com
mittee finally yielded, and this at
the instance of Senator Frank B.
Kellogg, of Minnesota, sanctioned
by the members OF the Legislative
Committee and with the explicit
and distinct understanding, on the
part of the Indian bureau officials,
that in the future this particular
annual appropriation from Chip
pewa tribal funds, ''must be re-
duced materially if not eliminated
altogether Thus it will be seen
that the energetic and timely act
ions of the Legislative Committee,
in behalf of their kindreds, the
Minnesota Chippewas, practically
sounded the death knell of future
exorbitant appropriations from
their tribal funds and likewise
succeeded in having the item of
1856, 900 shaved down to $l75, 900,
making q. clean saving for the
tribe of $40, 900. Again in the
fall of 1916. through the timely
and energetic efforts of the Execu-
tive committee of the General
Council, the officers of the Indian
bureau we're forced TO comply
with the Indians demands for
check scalers in re. classifying the
timber involved in the former
Mile Laos case, which resulted in
gaining FOR the Chippewa Indians
over two hundred thousand ($200,-
coo. 0O) dollars additional over the
previous award of damages in taat
case. .....' -
Furthermore, Mr.. Wadsworth
could, while relating the matter of
expenditure of Chippewa tribal
money, relate something concern
ing the vast expenditure of some
S., OO0, 900 or more of Chippewa
tribal funds within the past twenty
five years or so. This prodigal
laundering of a nations heritage
vas conducted under the auspices
of the Indian bureau and, today,
there seems no material benefit in
evidence to have warranted this
vast expenditure from the Chip
pewa tribal fund. BY all means,
Mr.. Wadsworth, do tell 'em the
whole story concerning the expen
diture Of Chippewa tribal fumes;
please do. .

ALASKA TIME ZONE CANNOT BE FIXED
 WITHOUT LEGISLATION

In the recent order designating
 me zones for postal business, it vas decided that Alaska cannot be cached without special legislation. he following regarding Alaska ap Jears:
 The Act provides that the standard ime of the fifth zone, which shall include only Alaska, shall be based ,n mean astronomical time of the 50' of longitude West from Green vich, and shall be known and desig- lated as United States Standard Alas a time. Our attention has been di ected to the fact that the mainland f Alaska extends from approximate y 130' West of Greenwich, which, translated into time, is equal to more han two and one-half hours. Juneau, he capital of the Territory, with a
 Tg.tr3e Of approximately 134a'
 'cst. is A5rc than one hour of
 ne East of t.ie C:io hundred and ,:t.c'h Jrr~it'Gn to which Congress as rarr-rod tho Ua...cl Gtates stand ri hlas..1 time.
 Normally. VIC wcu,I expect to find l.c Soa.acaa.Crn portion of Alaska,
 ing East of Southerly prolOnga- ion of the International boundary inc running through Mount St. Elias, n a. zone based upon the standard of 35' West of Greenwich; while the emainder of Alaska would approxi- nately be divided into two zones, based respectively upon meridians of '500 and 165' West of Greenwich. These three meridians would pass Hose to Skagway and Juneau, Sew. md and Nome, respectively. The ere. ltion of these three zones in Alaska would harmonize with the whole ,cheme of standard time and seem ngly present no great obstacles for accomplishment.
 However this may be. it is obvious that Congress has not vested any discretion in the commission as to he standards of time to be observed in Alaska, and the remedy for the situation must be found in Congress f at all.

The People There Are Con- tinuing the Precautions Against Spread of
 the ''FIu."

A number of Juneau people re-
 Haines after landing from the steam CT City of Seattle Sunday. The par ty consisted of Chas w. Hawkesworth and w. T. Lopp, of the Bureau of Lamberson, who are showing the Birth of Nation" MT. Morris and A. Van Mavern. Shortly after they had landed at Haines and were sit ting in the hotel, an armed guard was Ren to pass the window, and it was learned they had been sent out from the fort to round up the passengers just landed. As soon as this was found out the said passen- gers proceeded to round up them selves and went in body to the mayors office where the guard were waiting. After a long telephone talk, Major Evans, the Post physician, af- ter learning that the quarantine had been lifted in Juneau, consented to allow all to stay. but parties under suspicion found they had to reckon further. The fact that all six were under suspicion as "Flue" carriers, gave the people of Haines the i'm pression that there were suspicious characters and that their presence was not good for the health of the community. Supt. Hawkesworth and Prof. Lopp decided to return. Bar mum and Anderson felt that as soon as it became known that they were with their pictures no one would come out to see them, so they re- turned to the boat, bag and baggage, but the two salesmen, who knew nothing of this tempest in teapot" upon going back to the hotel were told that there were neither rooms nor meals to be procured in the town. All six came back yesterday after learning that if they left the boat at Skagway they would have five days solitary confinement in the pest house there Both Haines and Skagway have kept clear of the "Flue" so far, and do not intend to take any chances, so the travellers aver.

SCENE FROM OPERA FAUST" STAGED FOR TRIANGLE PLAY STARRING BESSIE BARRISCALE

A scene from the opera Faust staged with all the realism of de tail that ever marked it's legitimate presentation, is one of the spectacu lar features of "The Snarl," the Triangle-Kay Bee play by Leona Hutton and Lambert Hillyer, in which Thomas H. Ince presents Bes- sic Barriscale as star, to open at the Coliseum tonight.
 The scene serves as the setting for that part of the drama in which Miss Barriscale as a crippled girl sits back of the scenes and sings the role of Marguerite while her twin sister, also played by the star, enacts the part on the stage.
 For this effect Director Raymond B. West obtained, permission for the use of the Burbank theatre in Los Angeles.

 The story opens with Judge Sands bankrupt because Peter Brownel has given him a false tip on the market. Sands invested all his own money and money from an estate of which he was trustee. Discouraged, he was about to commit suicide when his daughter Beulah, entered. She vows vengeance against the Brownleys, and starting out, through mutual friends she obtains a position as sec retary of the elder MT. Crowley.

By giving Brownley a false tip that Salonica Steel is about to declare a dividend, Stevens and Judge Sands unload the Salonica steel stock held by them through the Exchange upon Bob. Brownley and his associates. Tn or der to completely crush the Brown leys, Sands and Stevens sell short. Bob Brownley makes a determined effort to bull the market, and other brokers, influenced by the heavy buy ing, follow suit, causing a riot in the exchange.
