Hitchcock. "WASHINGTON,.D. C, Sept. 19.— a result of differences of opinion among officials of the interior department, it is generally understood in government circles that Secretary Hitchcock has not received the support of his subor dinates in his programme of investiga tion into the alleged Indian land frauds, and the prediction is freely made that the inquiry will be a farce.: : ' Many of the department officials were strongly in favor of the selection of an army officer to conduct the investiga tion. It was pointed out that he could en ter upon the work with absolutely no with nothing to gain or lose, and that the public would know that what ever the findings might be they would be based entirely upon the facts ob tained. 'It was suggested that Capt. J. J. Pershing, who recently returned from a most successful conduct of affairs in Mindanao in the Philippines, would be just the man to undertake such an in vestigation. It was explained that Capt..Pershing had obtained the confi dence of the people of the country by his service against the Moros, and that in the past he had the confidence of the Indians while serving in the West. This ; proposition did not meet with the approval of Secretary Hitchcock, who felt that whatever investigation was made should be largely in the hands of officers of the interior depart ment. The suggestion that Frank Churchill, an officer of the Indian bu reau, should be among the assistants to Charles J. Bonaparte, who was chosen by Secretary Hitchcock and President Roosevelt to direct the, investigation, was made in accordance with the gen-, eral idea that the inquiry should not. go outside of the interior department. The disappointed officials insist that a personal rather than a special exam ination should be" made into the charges. It is also pointed out that Mr. Bonaparte can never hope to do justice to \ the interior department in vestigation while at the same time looking after the prosecution of the of fenders connected with the postal frauds. POETS SIDE BY SIDE Drake's Body Rests Near That of Fitz-Greene Halbeck. WINSTED, Conn., Sept. 19. — Over thirty years ago, when Gen. James Grant Wilson, the well known warrior and literary man, and the late Fitz- Greene Halleck, the poet, visited the grave of Joseph Rodman Drake, author of that stirring national poem, "The American Flag," in the Bronx, New York, Mr. Halleck expressed - the wish to Gen. Wilson that, should anything at any time happen to the grave of his friend Drake, Wilson would see that Drake's body was laid at rest beside his. At this late date and after Mr. Drake's body has rested in the Bronx cemetery for eighty-three years, Hal leck's wish will be realized, thanks to Gen. Wilson, Mayor Low and Eugene D. Fish, a wealthy citizen of Guilford, Conn. , When it was decided to cut a road way through the Bronx cemetery May or Low wrote Gen. Wilson, at his sum mer home in Norfolk, asking what dis position should be made of his friend Drake's body. Remembering Halleck's wish and having charge of his burial lot in Alderbrook cemetery, Guilford, Gen. Wilson concluded to have Drake's remains placed in the same grave with Halleck's. Yesterday Mr.Fisk,' who owns the lot adjoining the Halleck plot in Alder brook, went, to Guilford and asked Gen. Wilson If he had any objection to Drake's body occupying his lot, next to Halleck's. The general very willing ly consented to Mr. Fisk's proposition. WOULD WED WITHOUT THE GIRL'S CONSENT Young Man From South Dakota Gets Into Trouble at Hastings. Special to The Globe.
