Says indians
Are Starving.


"One Who Knows" writing
from Cloquct to the Duluth Her.
aid, takes exceptions in no uncer.
tain language to the statements by
Superintendent Wadsworth that
the stories about starvation among
the Indians on White Earth res
ervation are misleading and un-
true. He says:
"As an interested reader of your
paper. I've had the opportunity to
reac in your Saturday edition that
P. r. Wadswortn has claimed that
statements saying that Indians on
the White Earth reservation were
starving we're untrue.
Being an Indian, Il have had
many chances to study the condi-
tions that prevail on the reserva.
ton here at Cloquet, and while
there are some who are comfort
ably fixed, they are in the minor
ity, and many of the Indians are
now so poor that they can't even
have enough food for their child
rem. Still Mr.. Wadsworth insists
that his charges are not in need of
any help. But maybe he has
founded his statement on his
knowledge of a few of the inside
Indians meaning petty grafters,
who do what is asked of them,
whether right or wrong.

sounded, why was it meant only

The Act of January 25th,
1924, provides for a. 800 per
capita payment to the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota from the
principal fund arising under Sec
ton 7 of the Act of January IA,
1889 (25th Stat. L., 642) Tne pro-
viso that before any payment is
made, the Indians shall ratify' and

consent of a majority of the total
number Of enrolled adults, both
male and female Chippewas of

meet this provision of the Act
Therefore, a formal ratification
and acceptance has been prepared
for signatures by those who desire
to ratify and accept the Act which
may be signed at White Earth,

January 25, 1924.

JANUARY 20, 1oAt'
Dear Friends: ,...
This day, the 25th of January,
I am sure will be day that you
will long remember, for today the
President signed his name to the
Chippewa per capita payment bill,
giving per capita payment of$1OO
to each Chippewa Indian IN Mime
sofa. ! want to congratulate you
upon this, your good luck.
| take this occasion to write you
that l have stood by my promise
to do all could that this payment
be given you. To be true. the bill
I introduced did not pass, but |
did all in my power to have the
bill Of the Indian Bureau passed.
and I may say, without claiming
any special honor Or preference,
that [ perhaps gave more time to
this matter than any other repre-
sentative from the state. l feel
sure that the results now obtained
in some measure are due to the
meetings that you called st my
instance, that were attended by
Senator Shipstead and myself.
The publicity given to the plight
of the Chippewas by the Daily
Star did perhaps as much as any
thing, and Ihope that you people
will gratefully remember the Daily
Star for the service it rendered to
you. i
The Interior Department ap-
preparation bill is now before the
House. l tried today to amend the
bill so that the government should
pay the expenses for the main
tenance of the agencies out of the
general government funds, and
not nov as is the custom, to pay
them out of the Chippewa funds
which you claim, and l think, is
contrary to the Treaty of 1889, /
was not successful. Neither were
any other members successful with
any amendment they tried to put
on the bill in the interest of the
Indians they represented.
l have Jet some amendments
that l Shall propose tomorrow or
as soon as we get to the proper
place in the bill, namely to have
the agency moved back to White
Earth from Cass Lake, also for an
appropriation out of the tribal
funds of $4,000 per year for
General Council purposes, as well
as some other amendments that l
intend to propose if given the op'
portunity. / now begin to see
clearer and clearer the necessity
for the jcrisdictional bill that
Chippewa Indian matters may be
wound up and the Chippewa In.
dians be given chance to develop
and become such useful citizens as
they have the capacity of becom
ing.
The per capita payment soon to
be made 70 you will only relieve
your present strained condition
for a little while. My prayer to
you is that you will forget your
factioDalism and stand together

The St. Johns combination scored an IS to 16 vic- toryS over the. Methodists. Handley Memorial won by the largest margin of the evening when 1t defeated North Highlands, 16 to 1.
 In the Baptist-Pred game Holder and Sanford were the outstanding players. for Sonthside team. while Young and Trent played a. good floor game for the Preds.i 5ees@t 9
 A. McHenry and T. McHenry were consistent players for the St. Johns aggresation while Smith looped eight foul goals out of as many tries. Cook played best for the Methodtsts. Ray was the outstanding player for the Hahdlet five, while Grabin, Sheppard. and Barcliff all played good ball. Caldwell was the High lands star.
 The games were probably the most sensational of the series this year and were witnessed by large crowd.
