man Homer P. Snyder of Now York
chairman of the subcommittee of the
Indian affairs committed of the
house declared this afternoon while
questioning J. George "Wright su-
perintendent of tho Osage ngency
here.
Congressman Snyder referred to a
letter fccm out by wrignt recently .
together with a copy of Osage tribal
resolutions condemning thoso who
oppobed tho extension of government
control and declaring that tribal
funds fthould be withdrawn from
banks the officials of which opposo
the extension and that guardians
whoso opposition is nctlvo should
bo removed.
Kit tier Scores Wright.
Mr. Snyder characterized the reso-
lutton and letter as a most vicious
attack to force submission to the will
rjl iliu UMKU cuuiivji film Btuii-u
Wright for mailing them.
Wright replied that tho llteraturo
waB nftt sent out on his own Initia-
tive hut at tho request of tho tribal
council and government officials
with higher authority than that
whlch h held.
Wright wns on the witness stand
most of this afternoon undergoing

ber of the Investigating commlttco

Practically all tho examination
was devoted to the proposed exten-
sion of tho government control al-
though other matters wero taken up
In the course of tho examination'.
. Principal among them whs the
making of per capita payments each
quarter. From th tone of nticstlons
It becauso apparent that tho com-
mUtee Is considering the advisability
swt changing these payment
Wants Immediate Chnngo.
Wright In answer to questions de-
clared a change wns needed Im-
mediately and that It had been
needed ever since the payments be-
came so large. He said large stimH
of money "should not hi shovelled
out to tho Osage." many of whom
cannot read or write nml who have
llttlo conception of tho value of
money. .
With the five civilized tribes he
nald no sum over 1200 Is given to an
Indian except under supervision
He has repeatedly recommended n
similar plan for the Osagrs ho said
This tribe will have received approx-
imately S'.OOO per capita for the
year ending .Ittne 30 thin year. Tho
total amount per capita Including
this year's per capita payments given
to the Osages by the government for
Jjyaltles nnd bonuses Is 17.000
U .right said.

this money Is apparent on the streets
