-iT Recently, the commissioner has been
'( criticised for hla alleged intention of
' enlisting a company of Indiana In the
' ' regular, army. Tour correspondent called
i 'upon the commiaaioner In order to get
ihls exact views In regard to thjs matter.
s I In response to a direct inquiry eoncern
; ling tha particulars of tha proposed plan,
;'-, lr; Lsiupp aatd: - :. u .-.
t , "A good .deal of Interval appears to
t ! hare been excited In the west over my
I reported proposal to anllat Indians la the
regular army. Not only have I no such
l i intention, but It Is fartheat away from
f my real plana. Any intimation or other
statements In regard to my. Intentions
; Jara entirely unauthorised. '. Whenever
-r 'spoken.- to- en - t he subject - of -enlisting
' Indians la tha army, I have always said
J that the experience which has already
.'been gained of using Indians In th
J jsrmy. Indicates 'that efforts along theea
.' !llnea have failed.-. Tha reason for such
7. (allure is two-fold. ' , ' ;
.! :" J-' 5 v ot Content e tejr.v.'- -
, "First. Adult Indiana were taken Into
l tha service after they had acquired set
j J Ued habits' of life, and after that they
! were never content to atay and be away
wars fixed and they were stiffened Into
certain ways from which they could not
well be changed, and so they were not
pliable t6 the new ways and dlselpliaa of
'army life. r-. ' - ...:,
"Second, The 'attempt was Tmade to
1 group them together In companies or
troops. At the time the experiment
; waa made, I . ventured . the prophecy,
I which Is la accord with an Idea I hare
' alwaya held, that you never could raise
i up a people of alien race and graft them
i into our civilisation by 'keeping them
i In groups, rubbing elbows one with an
t , other. -Tba best way to teach aa In
I , dtan Is to put him la with whites who,
i will teach aim by association the lea
. sons of civilisation. I would not wholly

"It wonjd be a material benefit to tha

."My idea, to regard to military service
among the Indians ' Is., to have those
soya who graduats f rasa Carlisle, and
I ence, and leads them up to higher poet
tlona. An Indian serving a regular en
I Itatment, or perhapa several enlistments
( In the regular army would acquire the
i same good traits and would be fitted t
j become -a valuable cttlsen sboahf he
who imrm : not ' ooisi prepared by having
had military, drill , and discipline, but
who -'have also been taught eotna of
the trades which may be utilised In mili
tary service, enter ths army. Equipped
wttav a good elementary knowledge sf
reading; writing and mathematics, end
and with a trade besides, which would
enable them In en' emergency, to shoe a
horse, mend equipments, repair a wagon,
or ran a. telephone line, they would be
trebly Useful aa soldiers, and usefulness
would promptly be raoognissd by their
sa perl or moors. I would expect a boy
of that sort. If bsgtad ths Instruction of
a ' soldier, . to rise promptly .from , the
ranks, and become a non-eommlsslonod
officer and possibly he might receive a
commission.-; 'How soon It may be, de
sirable to issue ameer's commissions to

office will only permit xapabla young In
diana to anllat. and will follow their
careers with great interest.'' ; .
When, asked If he would faror open
ing Wst Point to the admission, of
young Indiana, especially thoaa graduat
lng from tha. school; at . Carlisle, Mr.
Lupp said: -, i , ' t, -..
...I. would bo very reluctant, to make
such a recommendation.-.. I would not be
willing to give my direct assent at pres
ent, because the Indian raoe haa not. as
a whole, reached such a sufficient stage
of development to warrant that.- ' It will
take several generations of inheritance
of certain traits of Independence and re
sponsibilities .to. put .them- In the same
position as the white race. All I am
seeking Is to give the Indian the name
shew as the whites, and racially aa well
as individually, I want him to have
every advantage which ahould make of
him a useful cltlsen. Of course there
are exceptional eases where Indian boys
are qualtnea perhapa to enter W

feature of the subject is the fsct that

The attention of the commiaaioner was
called to the criticism that nader his
administration specialisation was becom
ing ths feature of education, especially
at Carlisle. In regard to tbia Mr. Leupp
said: . .. - -
"My critic on these subjects doubt
lessunintentionally, Me fallen Into er
ror. I have never thought,-and much
leas nroDosed. to make a strictly , milt
tary school out of Carllale, to the exslu
alon of other matters.- I have simply
had the same Ideas ss those concerning
other large non-reservation schools, and
that is to emphasise certain features of
their Instruction. ,' The emphatic, mili
tary feature,1 of the course at Carlisle
does not by any means Imply that every
boy must, and would be a soldier.. Tha
emphatic agricultural feature at some
other school does not mean thati every
tuitnnt that's-reduataa would be a far-
mer. The emphatla business training at
a third institution does not mean that
all of the scholars. would be stenog
raphers and typewriters and bookkeep
ers. But In these institutions, just as
we do In . those for the education of
our own people, we lay special stress on
certain llnea. - My plan la to -methodise
the ' work at- a number' of -our Indian
schools so that each one .will have some
distinctive and. well known feature. In
stead of leaving them In a semi-chaotic
haphazard eondltton." .5-.., n .

Helena. Mont., April - It is learned
from' authoritative sources that tha gov.
ernment Is Investigating alleged land
frauds la Montana and reports are cur
rent that startling developments may
expected with tha convening or the
grandr Jury here early this month.
A bureau with a corps of n inspec
tors haa been established here and these
men are busily engaged In. Investigating
the alleged Illegal entries. A govern
ment official In this city 1s authority
for the statement that a force of three
times .the else of the one so engaged
oould be profitably employed.
"It la a matter of ahame," said he.
"that the government haa been so ruth
lessly defrauded In Montane and Idaho
of. eucb ' vast . Quantities of valuable
lands. . And tha audacity with which
these operations has. .been carried, oa Is
temerity personified. ' . - -
, i will cits one instance in substantia-
Uon of such a broad statement. It has
come to light that a special train was
run. for, the purpose of, carrying tha
paeudo settlers to ths land office where
each member 1 of the party took over
government lands, and the next day
they were deeded to the originator of
tbe plan. ' . - ' '
"Instances nave been brought to light
Where through travelers on passenger
trains have been offered as much as
1S to stop ever a day and take up s
section sf land under the timber and
stone act, with the understanding that
In the course of a few days or a few
hours even that 1C would be transferred
to ths person who profferd ths mosey.'
"I am not panasrtsg to senaatlonailssn
Whan I say that startling developments
may be looked for even en as gigantic
a scale aa those brought to light In Ore-
gen. If. indeed; more glaring frauds are
not diecovered.. ''.- . .. ......
; In thle connection the trial here next
Week of - defendants la what - ar
known as the western Montana land
frauds becomes of great Id teres t. About
a year ago the federal grand Jury Bitting
