BURKE DISPUTES
FREAR'S CHARGES.
Indian Commissioner Makes
Sweeping Defense of His
Conduct of Bureau.

By the Associated Press.
Commissioner Burke of the Indian
Bureau made sweeping defense OF
his administration yesterday before
the House Indian committee, whose
members are considering demand by
one of their number that represents
tive Frear. Republican, Wisconsin, he
asked to resign from the committee
as an outgrowth of his recent utter
ances regarding Indian affairs.
Mr.. Burke denied in detail the
charges made by Mr.. Frear, declaring
many of them had been based on mis-
information and propaganda suppiled
by interested parties.
The demand for Mr.. Frear's retire
ment from the committee has been
made by Representative Hudson, Re-
publican, Michigan, but was not DIS
cussed at yesterdays meeting. In
recent letter, he said, Mr.. Frear viz
tually charged that MIR. Burke was
controlling the committee. If the
Wisconsin member hold that opinion
Of the committee. Mr.. Hudson has
told his colleagues, he should resign
his membership.
Will Testify Wednesday.
Commissioner Burke did not con
clude his testimony yesterday, but Will
reappear Wednesday for croSS-eXaml
nation He dealt directly with the
charges made against him and pre-
scented documentary evidence IN sup
port Of his denials.
Some of the 'misinformation on
which Mr.. Frear acted, the Commits
sioner said. had been supplied by
John Collier. president OF the Amer
can Indian Defense Society.
He said he had made Il thorough
investigation. and could deny fatty
that ball and chain" methods had
been used in furnishing Paul Moore,
an Indian on n Wisconsin feSerVa-
ton. or that male and female pris-
oners were confined together in the
same quarters in Indian Jails-
Sees Selfish Motives.
ut is my opinion, Mr. Burke told
the committee, that what actuates the
representatives of So-called Indian
societies are selfish motives and this
carrying on of propaganda is because
they want to create the attitude ol
distlllst, and an impression that the
Department of Interior and the IN
dian Bureau are robbing the Indian
and that the oil companies are being
shown favoritiSm.
This is all for the purpose of going
to the country appealing Tor money
that they may themselves enjoy the
benefits thereof.
He also denied Mr.. Frear's aCcusa
tions concerning royalties on oil lands
Mr.. F'rear would have you believe.
Burke said. that we are trying tC
take something from the Indians
when. in fact. we are trying to dc
something for them. 1t is preposter
Gus to think for one moment that We
propose to exempt oil operators from
taxation"
Collier Denied Hearing.
When the commissioner concluded
by saying that Frear's speech wa:
being sent out in pamphlet form by
Golfers organization. Mr.. Collier
asked to be heard. Chairman Leavit
declined to recognize him, and Repre-
sentative Williamson, Republican
South Dakota, said he would object Il
testimony by Collier ''at any time ol
under any circumstances"
After the hearing, Mr.. Collier issueC
formal statement which said his or
ganization has no interest in attack
ing Commissioner Burke individually
we are concerned with reorganizine
the system of Indian affairs. >
