your Office called for such a re-
port from each superintendent. If
they we're submitted l have never
been advised. My attention has
been called to several instances
similarly to the following. The
school maintained at Tower, Min
nesota, was closed year or two
ago. am informed that 1t said
abandoned school the following
live stock is being maintained at
the expense of the Chippewas:
One heifer, two mares, eleven
COWS, eight calves, seven pigs,
thirty-two sheep, sixteen lambs,
three geldings and a number of
chickens. If this is true it is
certainly being done without the
knowledge or consent of your
Office. A complete report should
be obtained from each agency. BY
the maintenance of these useless
animals and large quantities of
useless machinery large sums of
money are being wasted annually.
(2) A detailed and complete re-
port giving the name, age and
disability of every member of the
tribe receiving gratuities. y
(Explaaation) My information
is that the greater percentage .of
those now receiving gratuities are
not entitled thereto.
(3) A detailed and complete
report of every child to be entered
in any boarding or day school
maintained out of Chippewa funds.
This should give the name, age,
sex, and residence of the child and
should show the nearest public
school accessible.
(Explanation) My information
is that a large percentage of the
children being enrolled for the
next school year have public
school facilities accessible TO them
at their homes. Possibly a major
ity of those children in the Mission
school last winter lived contiguous
to public schools. A large mum.
Der of the children living at White
Earth attended the Mission school
last year at tribal expense and
likewise a large number attended
the boarding schools who had
ample public school facilities at
home.
Trusting that you will give this
matter your immediate attention
and that when the reports are re-
ceived you will permit me to
examine them or furnish me copies.

Very truly yours,

GOOD NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON.
More Assistance in Inheritance Work.
All Interest Moneys Of Both Minors and
Adults to be Paid at Once.
Washington, D. c.,
July 26. 1920.

Special to The ToMHAwK.
Notwithstanding this is the dull
season in Washington when most
people are away on their VACATIONS
important Developments are TAX
ing place in connection with Chip
pewa matters. These develop
ments may be summarized as fol-
lows:
At the request of officers of the
General Council the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs has issued orders
for the assignment of two addl'lon-
al clerks to the White Earth
Agency to assist in the inheritance
work at that agency. The Inherit
ance work at White Earth is far
arrears. Until this work becomes
current no substantial further re-
duction in the agency force can be
made. When this work becomes
current the agency can be practl-
cally abolished resulting in a. saw
ing of about $25, 900 per annum to
the Chippewas. II is estimated
that with two additional clerks as
signed to the inheritance work at
White Earth the work can be
brought up to date within year.
so that substantial reduction in the
agency force at White Earth may
be expected at the commencement
of the fiscal year July l, 1921.
These additional inheritance clerks
cost the Chippewas nothing, they
are paid out of the general appro'
.priations and not out of the trust
funds. The assignment of these
two additional clerks TO White
Earth will effectuate q saving OF
probably one hundred thousand
dollars out of the tribal funds in
next few years. The Commissioner
has further issued orders directing
that all White Earth inheritance
cases appealed to the Department
shall be expeditiousiy decided.
The object of this order is to
enable the disposition of all pend
ing White Earth Inheritance cases
within the next year.
Recently the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs denied an applica-
ton submitted by the General
Council requesting instructions to
every agent anc sub. agent in Min
nesota directing them to immed-
lately pay oat.s al + funds nd arising
from interest payments now beng
withheld By the Bureau tn the
credit of the Indians. - 81.
Webster Ballinger, attorney for
the General Council, had previous
" presented the matter to the De-
.partment and had insisted that the
action of the Department in with
holding the actual payment OF the
interest money to the Indians was
in disregard Of positive law. In
answer to Mr.. Ballinger's COM
municat;on the Commissioner un-

der date of July l.. wrote Mr..
BalIinger a letter, which, after
setting out the contention of the
General Council stated:
1.-THE Office does not agree with
you in this view. 1t is believed
chat when the amounts due minors
and ihcompetents are segregated
and held to their credit by the
superintendent to be paid out as
their necessities and conditions re-
quire. that such procedure is a
payment in cash. within the mean
ing of the statute. The Secretary
of the Interior and the Commls-
sioner of Indian Affairs, under
their broad supervisory powers
should be allowed to determine
the particular way in which the
moneys referred to should be paid
to minors and incompetents. The
shares of these minors and incom-
petents are being withheld for
payment under supervision under
regulations governing the handling
of individual moneys. These reg
ulations we're promulgated in
pursuance of the we'll defined
policy of this Office in dealing
with the Indians. No reason is
seen for waving these regulations
as to the Chippewas.
Regarding Liberty Bonds pur-
chased for minors and other in
competent Indians and held in
trust for them. it is the present
policy to allow the sale, transfer,
or assignment of these bonds upon
a showing that the circumstances
of these Indians are such that the
cash is needed for their necessi-
ties"
On receipt of this letter Mr..
Ballinger Immediately requested a
a reconsideration of the matter and
an oral hearing. This was granted
with the result that the Indian
Bureau has receded from its posi-
zion announced in the letter of
July l and an order is now in
course of preparation directing
every superintendent among the
Chippewas to pay to the parents
or natural guardian of minor
children all interest money now
being withheld from them, and to
pay to all adult Indians all similar
funds now being withheld from
them. This order will result in
the closing of a large number of
individual accounts which have
been occupying the time of many
clerks whose salary is paid out OF
Chippewa trust funds.
Pursuant to instructions Of the
General Council, Mr.. Ballinger
has taken up with the Indian
Bureau the question of allotting
500, 900 out of the funds available
for school purposes to be used in
assisting in maintaining the public
school at White Earth and in the
establishment of additional public
schools at points contiguous to the
Chippewa children now attending
boarding schools. Whether he
will succeed in securing an al.
lowance of 5000 is problematical,
but it is certain that from $4,000
to $l5, OOO Will be allOCted 1Or. thls
purpose. a.
The following communication
written by Mr.. Ballinger to the
Commissioner will be of interest
