ASK ADVICE OF U. S. ATTOR- l " NEY HOUPT. Claim That Circulation of False Report Has Done Them Much Injury. Duluth, Feb. 2.—Criminal ac tion against the person who forged'the names of 380 Chip- pewa Indians to a petition ask- ling congress toallow the Morris t{law to remain as it stands, is to be instituted by the outraged reds of the reservations of north- ern Minnesota. With a_view to starting such prosecution the Indians from all over the reservations have ap- pointed a committee of five to communicate with United States District Attorney C. C. Haupt, { of St. Paul, asking 'his advice as to how to proceed. The letter which the committee has for- warded to that official follows: We are Chippewa - Indians re- siding at White Earth, Minne- sota, and have recently been greatly injured by a piece of |forgery committed in ‘Minneap- The revival meetings which olis. We wish to prosecute the guilty parties and write toask your advice as to how to proceed.

The Chippewa Indians, there- fore, to a man, favor an amend- ment to the Morris law abolish- ing this forest. reserve on their lands so as to permit said prop- erty, worth from one to three and one-half million dollars, to be sold for their benefit. We were greatly astonished a short time ago to tind there was being circulated broadcast by the Commercial clubs of St. Paul and Minneapolis, a pamphlet, under the title ‘“Memorial and Appeal,’’ as an appendix to which appeared a copy of a preteaded petition having 380 Chippewa In- dian signers, among which names ours are included, asking congress to leave the Morris law just as il stands. The authorship of this forged petition has been positively de- termined, and this forgery grossly wisrepresents us to our damage, in that it operates to persuade congress not to grant us relief so that this property can besold. We have already lost over three years interest on the immense value of this prop- erty and the forger of this peti- tion has greatly damaged us in fraudulently = misrepresenting our wishes as to its disposal. We enclose herewith, as sub- stantiating the above statement, the following: 1st. Copy of affidavit of Rev. Charles Wright, showing how these names were secured by the person forging this petition. (In this connection we would| state that Secretary Nye of the public affairs committee of the Minneapolis Commercial club has stated through the public press that the petition and list of names was furnished by Dr. Crafts, of Minneapolis.) 2nd.

You will note the certificates are ab- solutely identical, even to the omission of the word ‘‘they” by mistake on the original re-allot- ment petition.
