WASHINGTON, Jn. 8 Tncle Fame campaign fur "moral uplift" among Ma wut army of ward, which haa been con tinued with unabated vtRor since It waa begun by the Roosevelt administration haa been chiefly algnlflccant, because of tho total auppresslon of the aale and use of "fire water" among the brave and the consequent dlmlnuatlon of warlike out break on the reservations. Annual report of the reservation su perintendents In widely acattered parts of the United 8tatea attribute the auccesa of the crusade to the co-operation between state and federal auhorltes, which ha been more generally practiced durlntr the past year than ever before. Thla campaign of well-dlructed effort among the Indian of ficial haa been fraught with good result In other directions and gradually the tribes men are being drawn away from many of ilyl destructive habit of their former no tnadto existence. Washington officials evinced much Inter est In the report to Assistant Indian Com missioner Abbott that TOO Navajo Indians went recently to their "white father" au perlntendent and, surrendering an enor mous stock of gambling paraphernalia, en rolled their names alongsldo those of the "simple life" exponents. These gambling devices of varied sorts and descriptions were shipped here and have been placed on exhibition with the Immense collection of relics and trophlea at the Indian bureau. have been left n charge of the new chief of field division at Portland when Olavla waa transferred' td Seattle, "Fourth.

The claimants Were entitled to have the objection to their claims formulated and brought to hearing with reasonable promptness, and the Interests of the government did not re quire and were not advanced by the pro longed delaya and Inaction of Special Agent Olavla. In tbls connection it may be pointed out, as an example of Olavla' habi tual procrastination, that although, pur suant to his request of April 11, 1908, to forward to him all original papera relating to Alaska coal entries and declaratory statements upon his representation that the statute of limitations would prevent criminal prosecutions after the following October, and the cases must therefore be presented during the month of May. all Buch original papera and documents were, by direction of the general land office, Im mediately transmitted to him by the Juneau office, no proceeding whatever was taken by htm to - bring these : criminal prosecutions or to take any steps lu con nection therewith. "Glavls appear at all times to have been prolific In crltlolsm and fault finding of other officials of hia department, desir ous of Increasing his Jurisdiction, ready with reasons for delay, but never ready to complete anything he undertook.

But meas ured by the emeigeucy which faced thcta, by the purity of their motives and the reV cults which were accomplished, their breach of propriety . sinks well nigh to Insignifi cance." Mr. Plnchot said he disclaimed any in tention or desire to shirk any part of his jwn legitimate responsibility for what waa Jone by these two subordinates. What they did. he added, raised a question of principle which should not be obscured either by personal consideration or possible mistakes on their part. They had, he said, done for the people of the country what the people would have done for themselves had they been In a situation to do it. Upon the conclusion of the discussion of the Plnchot letter the president's message, transmitting Attorney General Wicker sham's report In the Balllnger case, was laid before the chamber, but Mr. Wicker sham's long report waa not read. It waa referred to the committee on public landa.

CABINET MEETING IS CALLED Plnchot'a Letter to DolllTer la DIs- earned by President and Advisers. WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Late thla after noon, after reading the newspaper reports of the lively tilt caused In the senate by the reading of a letter addressed to Senator Dolllver, aa chairman of the senate com mittee on agriculture, by Gifford Plnchot, In which the chief forester vigorously up held the subordinates In hla office for the aid they gave Louis R. Glavls In tha rey porta he made public attacking Secretary of the Interior Balllnger, President Taft sent out a hurry call for such members of his cabinet as were within reach. Secretary of the State Knox, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, Attorney General Wlskersham and Secretary of Agriculture Wilson soon put In an appearance. It waa said that Forester Plnchot'a con duct In sending an official communication to the chairman of a congressional com mittee was freely discussed, although none of the cabinet officers who participated In the conference would discuss their call to the White House In any way. President Taft some time ago iasued an order that no subordinate In any govern ment department should disclose any In formation to congress except through the head of the department. Mr. Plnchot, In hla letter, virtually upholda Glavls and de scribee him aa "the most vigorous de fender of the people's rights," despite the fact that President Taft had declared Olavla unfit longer to remain In the public service. This direct alap at the president and the further declaration by Mr. Pln chot that the Cunningham coal landa really were about to go to fraudulent claimants until Olavla and the forestry bureau offi cials took a hand in the fight, thus Im pugning the Intentions of high officials of the Interior department, are said to haxe aroused Mr. Taft to keen resentment. The president Is said to have- felt for aome time that Mr. Plnchot haa been "de fying the lightning." Some action aa to Mr. Plnchot'a course in the letter incident is not unexpected. be forced to bind himself in the matter of the selection of a senator previous to his election. Tho law Is not compulsory, so there Is no use for a republican candidate for the legislature to agree to vote for a democrat. "I am satisfied that a senatorial candi date cannot be nominated at the primary. Under our constitution it la up to the legltlature to elect the senator and until that constitution la changed senators will be elected by the legislature. "It would be a nice thing for Mr. Bryan to be the only democratic candidate for the senate and then have several repub licans running and thua permit him to get a plurality of the votea at the Novem ber election. "I believe thla Is a matter which ahould be taken up ty the republican state com mittee at an early date, to be followed later by -a denunciation of the law by the republican atate convention." jood rozf a an ar-a.

"The Insurgent republicans of the house are not intimidated by the action of the administration In with holding patronage from them and are not scared Into alienee by apy apparent com bination of President Taft and Speaker Cannon." This was the declaration of Representa tive Norrla of Nebraska, one of the loading insurgenta of the house. Mr. Norrla re sented atorlea appearing In one or two Washington and New York newspapers to day to the effect that the insurgenta were "lying down" under the edict of the ad ministration. On the contrary, Mr. Norrla returned to the attack and criticised Preal dent Taft himself for the act of the ad ministration In singling out Insurgent rep resentatives for punishment. "President Taft Is making a grave mis take by aiding Cannon In thla way, and I want to say ao unhesitatingly," continued Mr Norrla. "I do not object, nor do any of the insurgenta object, aa far aa I know, to tha withholding of patronage from us. But I denounce thisingllng out of the men who have opposed Cannon and the house organisation for an Infliction of punishment. "How can the president Bay we are op posed to hla pollclea and declare that we are to be punished for ll. when we have not opposed his policies In any way? We do not.

The bill also fixes the price which shall be paid these Indiana at S2.50 per acre and the meaaure approprlatea $415,000 to carry out this provision. An effort waa made by those interested to reduce to 11.25 per acre the amount which ahould be paid them for their lands, but this failed In committee owing to a moat vlgoroua protest from the officials of the Indian bureau, who stoutly main tained that the lands sought were easily worth from SS to 110 per acre and even $2.50 per acre was. If anything, too small reimbursement for these land. The bill also carries an appropriation of $70,000 to complete allotments of lands to Indians now In progress.
