4 THE MORXIXO OREGOMAX, SATURDAY, KOTE3IBER .2,, 1D07. JOHNSON WOULD HUMOR THE UTES Says They Are Unjustly Treat ed and Should Be Given Rations. LEUPP SAYS THEY'RE LAZY Army Officer Recommends Flour and Patience to Pacify Them. Commissioner Says Make Them Work or Go Hungry. WASHINGTON. ' Nov. 1. Captain Johnson, the Army officer sent to Thunder Butte. S. D., to pacify the re bellious I'te Indians, has come into conflict not only with Major Downs, the Indian Agent, but with Commis sioner Ieupp of the Indian Bureau, and the entire policy of the Government re garding: treatment of the Indians. Cap tain Johnson's policy is to humor the Indians and pacify them with liberal rations: Major Downs insists on strict obedience to the regulations and Mr. Leupp adheres to the scriptural injunc tion: "He that will not work, neither let him eat." Work or Go Hungry, Says Iieupp. Mr. Leupp accepts Captain Johnson's report as a reflection on his bureau. Citing the fact that the disaffected tTtes have refused two offers to work for railroad companies, one of which contemplated paying them $2 per day for labor only 15 miles from their pres ent home, he said: "Johnson proceeds on the theory that the way to handle troublesome Indians Is to set them off and fed them. That Is not the Indian office theory. This office believes in applying the same rule to the Indians that is applied to poor and Ignorant men of any race. We believe in' finding work for them, and then In permitting them to go hungry if they will not accept the op portunity to make a living. "These Utes contemptuously decline to work, saying that the Government would take care of them. I am per fectly willing to stand responsible for all the advice I have given In the mat ter, which has been that we should treat the Indians kindly, but Insist that they shall cease to be paupers when there la work at which they can earn good wages practically at their doors." Captain Johnson reports that the Indian agent and himself are at cross-purpose, and his report, dated yesterday, appeals to the authorities here to support him and cause Major Downs to abate harsh treatment of the Indians. j Cause of AH the Trouble. The report says that the Indiana ob jected to sending their children to a dis tant boarding school; also that the agent cut the rations in half; that the Indians wish to live in peace, but that Downs refused to consider their promise to com ply" with his orders. Captain Johnson says the Utes are hungry and suffering and believe they have been unjustly treated. He says they asked him to act as arbitrator and they would accept the result. "The agent," Captain Johnson says, "put a vote to the head men to this effect: "Would they obey him in the school matter and in all the regulations?" They replied they wished to see Captain Johnson. This appears to have Incensed the agent, who required them to cast their votes at once. This council all voted "No," and then followed the ex citement which caused the call for vol unteers and troops to be sent to the Ute camp to compel them to comply with the agent's wishes. "I told the Utes that I should expect them to retract their vote this morning. They informed me that they would gladly obey the agent In all matters of regula tions. I presented this decision to Major Downs, who refused to consider their promise. Harsh and severe remedies are to be applied. One hundred pounds of flour and a little patience Is a more potential factor In the solution of this problem than 100 soldiers." Navajo Prisoners Brought In. WASHINGTON Nov. 1. A dispatch was received today from Major Hirst, chief of staff of the Department of Colo rado at Denver indicating that Navajo troubles in Southern Utah and Northern New Mexico are near an end.

' It was positively agreed by the conferees and approved by the President that each of the services affected should leave its Internal dif ferences to be adjusted within itself at some future day, and that the increase of pay asked for should be based upon exist ing conditions.
