Washington, Oct. 3.—The Interior department scandals in Oklahoma and Indian territory probably will be probed by congress soon after the next session begins. Representative Stephens, of Texas, a member of the house committee of Indian affairs, believes the investigation will be started by the Republicans for the purpose of heading c ff the Democrats who are anxious to take the initic- tive step. CONGRESS IS TO BLAME, “The government first should clear its own skirts by removing the un- worthy officials,” said Stephens. “As for the rights of the Indians, they will be protected by the courts. Ev- ery lease secured through the ma. chination of trust companies and “ten-percenters” is certain to be an- nuled when the courts get hold of it. Congress ia partially to blame for the abuses, for it left too much power in the hands of the interior depart- met.” ‘ CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the | Gignatare of | SAM'L LEVY & G0.
