|\ INDIAN BUREAU HIT BY EX-EMPLOYES Children Beaten and Under- fed, Sanitation Poor, Sen- ate Committee Told. By the Associated Press. . Charges of mismanagement and mis- treatment of Indian children at reser- vation schools in Arizona and Nebraska were laid before a Senate committee yesterday by former employes of the In- dian service. The accusations ranged from “beat- ings” of the children and “poor” sani- tary conditions in the buildings to, al- leged failure of the Indian Bureau, ad- ministration .of which is under investi- gation, to take action to remedy the situation. Mrs. “Jja C. Carroll of College Park, Md., whw vas employed at the Genona Indian School in Nebraska, in 1923, tes- tified that she ccmplamed to_Supt. Samuel B. Davis because the children were underfed, and that Davis replied that he “didn’t want meddlers about.” “He took boys out of the school to work on his farms,” Mrs. Carroll said. Burke Holds Work Immaterial. ‘Tu; g to Charles H. Burke, Com- missioner of the Indian Bureau, who sat at the committee table, Senator ‘Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, asked whether it was the reau to permit the s hn\e farms near the r “It is not the policy but that is im- malenal " Burke rr)’lh(d “It is material,” Wheeler shot back. Food at the school, Mrs. Carroll said, was “poor and half cooked,” and added that for breakfast the children had “bread with no butter, half-cooked oat- meal and bad coffee.” ‘When the children asked for more bread, she declared, there was none, although she said the bakery was “stacked high” with it, but that it was ‘“locked and the baker gone.” Some of the children, Mrs. Carroll charged, were “beaten up like dogs until blood flew out of their noses.” She icited the case of Sarah Dupuys, a girl at the school who, she said, was beaten by Supt. Davis “because she had Jaughed.” “You men don't know what's going on “That at ‘that school,” she houted. man is a beast.” ' Finally, Mrs. Carroll said, she was *kicked out” after the superintendent had told her she had “disrupted the morale of the whole school.” Burke Says Charges Investigated. “You were relieved from duty because you were considered temperamentally unfitted,” Burke said. “All of your :oha.rges were investigated by inspec- Miss Eleanor B.

Miss Jones also charged that ‘“nothing was done” to stop the epidemic although she said a physician attended the children and prescribed for them. “The dispensary was full of chemicals I had never heard of,” she said.

Secretary Wilbur took under advise- ment yesterday a request by Dr. Fritjof Nansen, noted Arctic explorer, for as- sistance in arranging for the forthcom- ing flight of the Graf Zeppelin to the polar regions in 1930.
