WASHINGTON, April 1.—Hurry M.
Daugherty’s part in stopping trial of
the "Miller Brothers" Indian land
fraud case in Oklahoma in the spring
of 1921, was described today to the
senate Daugherty invyestigting com-
mittee by H. M. Peck, former United
states attorney for the western Okla-
huma district.
The case involved 10,040 acres val-
ued at 150 an acre, Peck said. When
it was ready for trial at Guthrie in
cMay, 1921. he added, a "personal" let-
ter from M£ Daugherty directed that
a continuance be taken to the fall
term of court.
. Peck described a request for his
resignation received from Daugherty
in September, 1921. and his subsequent
re-employment as special prosecutor
for/ the government. He referred to
Senator Harreld of Oklahoma as to
the reasons for his re-employment .
Feck explained that th case re-
fehred to was instituted against
George L. MHler and four associates,
charged with' ‘defrauding Oklahoma
Indians out of land. Indictments had
been returned against the Miller
brothers in 1920, Peck said, and they
were charged with organizing a cam-
paign toy get the lands away from
Indians /s soon as the department of
the Interior. gave each tribesman his
allotment.

of guilty and fines; the department of
justice specifically directing that -that
course be taken, the witness sald, but
ho added that no civil Actions tore-
cover the lands had been inaugurated
and 'that the Miller brothers still had
them.
Peck said that in four years* experl-
once as United States attorney, he had
never known of another case in which
the attorney general took such /per-
sonal interest. Acceptance of the
guilty plea in the criminal cases was
decided on. the witness said, despite
his recommendation that penitentjry
sentences be demanded.
. The committee indicated it would
get from files of the department of
justice and the United States attor-
ney’s office in Oklahoma copis of the
letters and messages in th l^i case bear-
ing Daugherty's signature.: "I would
not agree to anything which would
relieve George L Miller of a jail sen-
tence,? sald the witness.
He. received orders from the attor-
ney general, he continued, to make no
recommendations to the court as to
sentences and to dismiss the charge
against the Miller brothers. * The three
others pleaded guilty and George L.
Miller was fined 15500. Victor Norton
81260 and J. C. Newton 11250.
"The United States judge in sen-
tencing them said he made the penal-
ties fines because the government
would undoubtedly bring' civil suits
to recover the lands for the Indians,"
said Peck, and for that reason the
penalty would be adequate. However,
the cvil suits were never brought.
The Miller brothers are still in pos-
session of the land. Oil has been dis-
covered on It in several places.
Peck said he had no personal
knowledge as to why the civil suits
were not pushed. He wrote a report
to the department of justice, he said,
saying that Oklahoma people felt the
"Miller brothers were able to escape
the consequences of illegal acts be-
cause of political and financial in-
fluence."
Counsel for Daugherty asked if a
recovery suit in the Miller case was
hot “In course of preparton."
’That would be news to me," Peck
replied. %
Their Work On Reparations
Problems Has Been Prac-
tically-Finished.
By Associated Press.
PARIS, April 1. — The reparations
experts of the Dawes commission mot
at 4:80 o’clock this afternoon with the
prospects brighter than at any time
this week for a speedy winding up of
their work. ‛ .
Although General Dawes and Owen
D. Young, his . American associate,
have booked their passage tentatively
for April 22, their assistants and coun-
sellors are planning an earlier de-
parture, probably the end of the week.
The amount of the reparations bur-
den to be laid upon ths German rail-
roads was expected to be settled this
afternoon with the smoothing out of
the differences that have existed be-
tween the English and American dele-
gates on that point.
The American experts have replied
to the expression of British fears that
Germany's exportation of funs for
the payments of reparations woud
weaken her unduly if pushed to the
limit by citing the Amrican post-civil
war period, to which the country
reached prosperous heights, although
obliged to repay-huge sums annually
to foreign investors in railroads,
mines, etc. . *
Although the foreign experts had a
ready retort to - these arguments,
pointing out that America's natural
resources far surpassed Germany's,
the Americans have .held firm. agree-
ing. however, that Germany should be
allowed to exploft all the resources
of her. territory in order- to be sooner
enabled to clean up her payments and
recover her stability^ «
