all, according to the report of the inspectors, appoar in an unfavor-
able light in connection with the testimony. They rocommend that the
Department of Justice take action in the matter. It scoms to no that
both your Buroau and the Department of Justice must go ovor these pa-
pers. I wish that you or Larraboe could go over them personally be-
fore you bring them to the attention of the Department of Justice.

Millard being mon who have hithorto possest high charactors and are now
occupying promanent positions, it would seom to no to be a good thing
to have some ropresentative of the Department of Justice and somo first-
class man in whom you have entire confidence, make a quick trip down to
the Osage Agency and report to mo just what they are able to find as to
thege charges of corruption in connection with Frantz's work while he
