Charge Made by Blind Senator Gore
Reveal Situation More Startling
Than Before Becanoe of
Rig Sums InTolTed.
BY THOMAS B. TTBBLES. AN OMAHA
ISDLA.N.
OMAHA. Nab, Aur- Spclal. For
400 yara th whites hv robbed th
Indians and I ho row in progress In Okla
homa following eenator Core's statement
of attempted brlborr n connection with
an Indian contract la but tha outarowth
of a scoem Just a lltUa bit lsrser than
were former deal.
These thefts theft before the moral
law If not before the arlttoji law of the
land are being perpetrated upon practi
cally every Indian reset-ration In the
country. Often the Indian aa-ent la "In"
on the deal; mmnlnna he l not.
F a of all tha rottenness of the Indian
system stand tha failure of the Govern
ni.ni to perform ita contract with tha
red men. To this can be traced all tha
trouble this country h bad with tha
Indiana: to It can be traced every Indian
war from Kin Philip and Powhatan to
eittlcc Bull, Raln-ln-the-Faoa snd Chief
Joseph. It mattered rot whether Klrg
or President. Whir. Demo-rat or Repub
lican ruled the country, the Indian has
alwaya been tha prey of the white man.
Whether It waa a William Penn. pur
chasing ten square miles and measuring
er ten miles square of good Pennsylvania
land upon which to locate Philadelphia, or
a Montana cattle king leasing l.OWKufl
aorea from tha Crowa at a nominal sum.
it is alwaya tha Indian who loses.
Gore's More Starts Inquiry.
Eenator Oore's statement has started an
Inveetls-allon that will hare wide-raach-tng
results. From tha time that the effort
waa first made to force the lire civilised
tribe to submit to the viol acton of tne
treaty under which thay were removed
from Oeorala and Alabama to the then
uninhabited wilderness west of the Mis
sissippi nntll tha present, there ha been
a Bang of white swlndlena among them,
each determined to get all ha could by
inter-marnsge. deception or outright
stealing. When nator Dawea went down
there ba was astonished at tha condi
tion of things among them, and it has
grown steadily worse ever since.
This Investigation may extend to the
same scope of that of the Pnnca Indian
Invrevlgatlnn. In which Senatora Hoar,
never known tha Government to keep
one. I believe that la all I bate to say."
It seems that tha Government', un
broken record for the violation of all
trratiee with the Indian has bean kept
with then five so-called Indian tribes.
The Government promised to . sell the
mineral, coal, asphaltum and oil lands
belonging to them very many rear ago.
and It has. in accordance with Ita record
ever since the first treaty was made,
violated tha contract and not sold the
land. The action opened up tha way for
the thieve. These lands were worth
M0ii. and a lawyer g a contract
to see to It that tha Government executed
Its contract, and out of the proceeda he
ass to received COOO.". Senator Gore,
thouah blind, could sea that that waa art
Morgan and Dawea took so much Inter
est and which resulted In a complete
reversal of the Indian policy that the
Government had followed for more than
1 years. I'P to that time Indiana were
"wards." and tha polltlclana were their
guardian The severalty act mad them
citlxen with all the rights, privileges
snd Immunities of any other ctttsens.
with tne exception of the right to dispose
of their lamia General George ("rook
was alo a prominent factor In securing
tlial change.
Crook's Indictment Is Crtsp.
The treatment of the Indiana up to thnt
time was well swimmansed by General
Crook In a speech that he made in the
Old suth Church In Boston, when after
much effort he was Induced to try to
make a speech. He csme out on the plat,
form to defend the Indiana against the
tjovrrnment thieves who were plundering
them and causing numerous wsr with
them. Hts speech was ss follower
"Ijidles and Gentlemen: I have been on
the frontier for yearn fighting Indians.
In sll that time I have never known an
Indian tribe to break a treaty and have
exorbitant fee and opposed It. Tij gt
him to drop hts opposition he as he
w:m offered a bribe of

lowed ever since the Indians became

san. Hoar and Dawea came to their res
cue Now again It Is a Senator who ap
pears In their defense. But this stealing
l $:... from tha Indians In Okla
homa dovs not compare. In cruelty to
soma things that th Indian rohher r.as
dor.e rn the pie".
Treatment of Wlnncbagoa Shameful.
One of the most glaring case of In
justice that an Indian tribe ever suf
fered at the hands of the Government
was that of the Wlnnebagos and Oma-
. i v. i v. wa iHh lost Ita
entire reservation and th latter trib j
a lull half of it In Is. with the result
hat from being the most rtvlllxed of all
Western Indians, the Wlnnebagos he
rs me. and yet remain, the most de
graded of them all.
In the days when the Government
as fighting for Its life during th
."Ivll War. th Sioux gathered their
raves by the thousands snd tsklng th
warpath, raided the unprotected West
ern settlements, killing and burning in
11 directions.
The Winnebago, who had made such
vdvsncement under th tutelage of
Bishop Whipple that the Government
-eport. show that they were the most
idvanced of all Indians In the I'nlted
'tales, offered their services to General
Sully to fight the Sioux. They were ic.
epted and they fought for the whit
nan bravely and well. When the war
aas over they went hack to the'r homes
tutt the next thing they saw waa a
.arid of soldiers who had order to rr.
nove them to soma point west of !
Missouri River. Their household goods
cere piled on th bank of th Mlssts
ippl River and they were told thev
vould be shipped down that river and
ip the Missouri to their new reserva
lon They never saw these goods again.
Trine Suffers Hardships.
Tha tribe was marched across the
arid plain, under guard, to the west
bank of the Missouri, suffering IndV
rrlbable hardships by th way and lear
ns; a line of graves behind them. One
la their new location they were left to
stnrve. the agent with them even re
fusing them th prlvllg of going on
a iuIiaIo hunt- Finally th mlaslonary

longer stand th sight of their suffer

Thar ware 9 starters.
Ing. told them to go without consent
snd he would go with them. Buffalo
were plenty and they came back loaded
down with meat. As soon they ar
rived th agent took all the meat away
from them and Issued It to them as
rat Ion a and charged it up to the Gov
ernment. Starvation soon stared them In th
face again and thev quietly built about
lo canoes In a big woods that was
north of them. One night they sllcutly
stole away and in their little boats
started down the river without the
knowledge of th agent, who was left
alone In an uninhabited wilderness
without an Indian to rul over.
Generosity Is Abused.'
The Wlnnebagos came down the river
and landed opposite the Omaha reserva
tion. They sent a delegation to see
Iron Eye. the head chief of the Oinalms.
He went across the river and Investi
gated their condition. Then he told
them to come over on his reservation
and they could cut cordwood and sell
It to th whites to get something to
live on. and he would present their con
dition to the Government.
The result of Iron Eye's unselfish ef.
forts was that the Government gave tha
Wlnnegabos a large part of Iron Eye's
reservation without his consent and
without any compensation. Of course,
sfter such an experience as that, the
Wlnnebagos did not go to farming
again, and with a few exceptions be
came the most degraded Indians In th
I'nlted States.
That Is the sort of work that wim al
most universal until the severalty act
was passed, since which time there hss
been great Improvcmtnt. But the oH
thieving Instinct Is still prevalent on
every reservation nnd this Oklahoma
matter Is only d'fferent In the amount
of the stealing from what is going on
everywhere. Senator Gore has a much
bigger job on h1 hands than he ex
pected, but If the Investigation lays
bare the former "Jobs" and leads the
way to a revolution In th methods of
handling Indians snd Indian affairs, he
will have accomplished more for the
Indians than any man In a generation.

Concern Operating Here and - at
Seattle Accused of Selling Real
I'Mate to Whlfh It Had
No Sort of Title.
A real estate scheme of unusual pro
portions and unlimited audacity assumed
local Interest yesterday when Deputy
I'nlted Plates Marshal Procbstel arrived
In this clly to take charg?. under an
order of the United State Court at Se
attle, of the office furniture of the Othello
Improvement Company, with offices In
the Commercial Club building.
The Marshal found that Constable Lou
Wanner was ahead of him. having th
day before levied an attachment on th
good of the compeny. at the esjlt of the
Commercial Oluh for $S0 and of a local
newspaper for ti',3. The question arises
which proceeding wlH take precedence.
Th operations of the company were ex
posed in Seattle a few days ago. where
it was alleged that the concern had been
engaged In selling real estate to which
It had no title. The revelation came In
an application made to United States Dis
ttlct Judges Tallman and "ty. ot Seattle,
for a receiver for the Othello Improve
ment Company and the R. S. King Com
pany. In gre-ntlng the receivership, th
court directed that the evidence be pre
sented to the District Attorney for a
criminal prosecution.
It was charged by the attorney for
the applicant that WSVO had been re
ceived by the promoters, R. S. King, H.
D. Moon and A. D. Semon. In celling lands
In British Columbia and at Othello, in the
Yakima Valley. The oompanles did not
own a foot of the land. It is alleged. They
did have an option on a tract at Othello.
Since last May. It is said, the officers
have conducted the business from a safe
distance, leaving salaried employes to
face the ever-growing throng of victims),
The 'Portland office was conducted by
P. B. Newkirk. "managing director."
whose friend say that lie Itas been an In
nocent party to the fraud. He holds to
the belief that the Othello property, on
the new line of the Chicago. Milwaukee
A 9t. Paul Railroad, ia a thing of value
and that title can be delivered by th
company, through the option which it
holds. Even here, whr business was
not so brisk. It I said that. disgruntled
purchasers have begun to wake up with
a bad taste In their mouths, and the Job
of "managing director" Is not believed to
have been a very happy one in recent
weeks.
The offices of the company were closed
yesterday and the door was ornamented
by a big writ of attachment. It 1s not yet
determined whether the assets In th
local office will be turned to the credit
cf the local creditors or will be sur
rendered to the receiver.
