Refused to be Lead.

The note contained in the above
box is self-explanstory and will be
of interest to our readers and the
Indians in general In that it shows
one instance at least where a big
man who is, and has been for some
time devoting much of his time to
the welfare of the American In
dians, namely, Mr.. Joseph Lati-
mer, attorney of New York City,
refused to be influenced by the
Indian Bureau and its satellites in
matters concerning the welfare of
the Indian race.
About two months ago Mr.
Latimer, who was a close friend
and associate of the late DR.. Carlos
.Monetzuma, was appointed chair.
man of the Committee of Anti
Bureaucracy" which was launched
by the Liberal League of New
York City. The prime motive of
which was to fight bureaucracy
and especially the Indian Bureau,
Mr.. Latimer accepted the position
and removed to Washington, d.

g., where he was to maintain
an office and at the same
time be at the seat of oper-
ations in behalf of the Indians.
Ali this was to good to be true
however, and did not last long,
for, judging from the above, Mr..
Lati.ner refused to be. lead and
dictated to by interests that, while
claiming to be in sympathy with
the Indians and their cause, re-
fuse to oppose the Indian Bureau
or lend their aid to any action that
would materially aid the Indians
and ultimately result in the Indians
being given the same rights and
privileges as other citizens of the
United States enjoy.
Mr.. Latimer's resignation as
chairman of the Committee Of
Anti-Bureaucracy" was no sur
prise to those who know him and
who are familiar with the policies
and intrigue employed by the
Indian Bureau in its subjugation
of the Indian people. His honesty
and integrity in anything he
undertakes makes it impossible
for hint to work in harmony with

Editor, The ToMAHAwK:

Aprl 20, lSLf.
Editor, The ToMAHAwK:
l have read with much interest
q communication addressed to the
\ President of the United States and
signed by t. B Beaulieu, printed
in the issue of The ToMAHAwK of
April Oath, protesting against the
approval by the President of H.
R. 2s76. 1t is evident from the
communication that its author did
not understand the provisions of
H. r. 2876 against the approval
of which by the President he so
vigorously protested. The COM
munication also indicates the ina
bility of the average lay members
of the Chippewa people to fully
comprehend their rights under
their agreements with the United
States in 1889 and the rights,
duties and powers of the Congress
of the United States. It is not
unnatural that in dealing with
matter technical in its nature the
average Chippewa should be con-
fused and innocently and honestly
make mistakes which only tend to
put the entire Chippewa people in
q false and untenable position and
at the same time to unfortunately
aggravate the animosities and
illfeelings today existing among
the different factions.
1t has always been my under.
standing of the desire and wish of
the great body of the Chippewa
people that the administrative
officers of the United States should
honestly administer the estate in
conformity with the trust created
by the agreements of 1889. This
is all, so far as l am advised, the
great body of the honest, intelli
gent Chippewa people have ever
asked. Any individual or faction
that asks or attempts to exact
more could never receive the sup
port of any. honest intelligent
member of the tribe. The author
OF the communication to the Presi-
dent is On honest man, but was
misinformed, and the communica-
tion he addressed to the President
was at least unfortunate, as he
attempted to deal with a situation
with which his communication
disclosed lack of knowledge of the
basic facts.
The agreement of 1889 provided
for the preparation of complete
rolls of the members of each sep
arate band or tribe. The persons
whose names were enscribed upon
those rolls entitled to allotments of
land, and to also share together
with their issue thereafter born
equally in the money payments to
be thereafter made. The act Of
1889 contemplated before each
money payment was made annually
of the interest revision of the
money payment roll SO that the
new born children might be en-
rolled, and SO that the names of
those who had died might be
stricken from the rolls. Unfortun-
ately in the administration of the
estate the rolls we're not revised

power. The Congress of the
United States, having agreed toI
see to it that the division of the
property should be equal, acted
strictly within its power in passing
this law. To have failed to equal
zed the payments would have been
a gross derilection of duty. -
There is no provision in the law
under which the Secretary can 60
beyond the enrolment of the
children and grandchildren or
issue of the original allottees or
enrollees. 1t is apparent that Mr.
Beaulieu was laboring under the
impression that this law threw
open the sluice gates to unlimited
enrolment. This is not the case,
The Secretary is given no such
power. His right to enroll is
limited solely to the issue of the
allottees or original enrollees, and
such persons should have at all
times been enrolled and should
when each payment was made
have received his or her share.
The law, against which Mr.. Beauss
leu complains, corrects at this late
day, a gross error that should have
been corrected years ago. His
communication was unfortunate in
that it must of necessity create the,
impression in the minds of the
incompetent class that the intelli
gent competent members are en-!
deavoring 60 strip the incompetent
class of their rights. Such charge
has heretofore been made and as
Mr.. Beaulieu belongs to the in
telligent competent class his COM
munication gives verify to their
claim Mr.. Beaulieu, as believe
he will when he knows the, facts,
should withdraw his communica.
ton and apology to the incompe-
tent element. He did himself an
injustice as we'll as an injustice to
the great body of the intelligent
competent Chippewa people.
The House Committee on Indian
Affairs has reported favorably to
the House H. r. 81 which pro
vides for compensation for alleged
equities in timber on the Mime.

R. %, which proposed to take 1.-The
land at $1.25 per acre instead of
at its market value, against which,
on behalf of the General Council,
l entered a vigorous protest, was
not reported. 1t is my informa.
tiop that the Committee, or at
least "a part of the Committee,
believes that this question should
be sent to the Court of Claims.
This is the first time that the In
dian Bureau has been blocked in
the House Committee. H. r. %
will in all probability never be
reported out of the Committee.
Within the next ten days the
Senate Committee will meet AID q
Sub. Committee will be appointed
to investigate Chippewa matters.
Until that Committee submits its
report, which will probably not be
before the first Of December next,
there will be no further legislation
pertaining to Chippewa affairs.

before each payment was made,
and as a result many new born
children, entitled to participate in
the money payments, never re-
ceived their shares. That they
were entitled to receive the re-
spective shares of the payments,
no honest man can deny. Those
children who were not enrolled, as
a rule, we're the children of the
incom petent class whose parents
neglected to take the proper steps
to have their children enrolled
The intelligent members of the
tribe saw to it that their children
were enrolled and received their
shares of the money payments
Therefore, the great bulk of the
children who have not received
their shares of the money pay
ments are the children of the
incompetent class. From my
knowledge of the Chippewa people
there is no competent intelligent
man or woman who would deny to
these unfortunate incompetent
children the shares to which they
are justly entitled. No honest
man nor woman could do so, and
the great body of the Chippewa
people are honest.
H. r. 2S76, which is now law,
merely authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to restore to the money
payment rolls the names of all
members of the tribe whose names
were enormously stricken or
omitted from the rolls and to pay
them the amounts to which they
are justly entitled so as to equalize
the money payments made to all
the Chippewa people entitled
thereto. l quote the exact Ian
guage of the law:

Act shall not be subject to any
lien or claim of attorneys or other
parties"
Surely Mr.. T. B. Beaulieu did
not intend to deprive these un-
fortunate children of the incom-
petent class of their rightful shares
of their tribal Inheritance. As an
honest MAJ he would not inten-
tionally do so even If be had the

tention that the search warrant was
invalid because it stated no facts.
The attorney declared with warmth
that if search could be made on this
kind of a search warrant any citizen
was liable to be subjected to the hui
initiation of a search at any time of
the night or day.
The prosecuting attorney replied to
the argument of Mr.. Ellis by declar-
ing that the complaint did not have to
set forth any sources upon which he
based the facts and quoted decisions
from other state supreme courts
where search had been allowed upon
information and belief.
Judge Metz took the matter under
advisement for 4S hours. He sustain
ed a motion to separate the allega-
lions of the information in the bench
warrant case and Carey will be tried
upon the three charges of transport
ing, possessing, and selling liquor.
The case will be appealed to the
supreme court of the state if the con-
tentions of the defendant that the
search warrant was not based on facts
and was therefore defective, is not
upheld.

considerable wreckage on the field
