AS TRUSTEE FOR INDIANS Government's Interest in Oklahoma : Land Cases. St. Louis, Feb. 5—M. L. Mott, at- torney for the Creek Nation, asserted .| here that the land fraud:investigation in Oklahoma was instituted as the result of evidence which he gathered in connection with civil suits for the recovery of lands alleged to-have been fraudulently obtained from the Indians whom he represents. “The interest of the government in the present prosecutions is simply. that of .a trustee,” sald Mr. Mott. “The Creeks lost many acres by fraud- ulent-transactions. Because the gov- ernment was trustee for the Indians it was charged with the duty of re- covering these lands. But it was pre- vented from properly discharging its dutles ‘as trustee by the frauds. Con- sequently the interest or tne govern- ment in the criminal prosecutions is still that of a trustee in addition to its usual police attitude, “There is no truth in the report circulated by Governor Haskell and his friends that Willlam R, Hearst inspired the suits.
