Governor Names Committee to Probe Chippewa Affairs in State.
Are the Chippewa Indians in northern Minnesota starving, and in desperate need, or are the stories that have been told mostly falsehoods? To find out the answers to these questions, Governor Theodore Christianson has named a commission of three people, to make a careful examination into Indian affairs on all the reservations, and in all Indian settlements in the state. The commission was authorized by the last session of the legislature, but its members were not appointed until last Saturday.
The three people named on the committee are, The Right Reverend G. G. Bennett, Episcopal bishop, of Duluth; Ed. L. Rogers, county attorney of Cass county, whose home is at Walker, and who is himself a Chippewa Indian, and Mrs. Blanche LaDue, a member of the state board of control. The members of the commission are to meet this week to make plans for the investigation which they will conduct.
