President Garrison’s administration faced scrutiny over political ends shaping selections. Attorney general hints at Angier as assistant, its acceptance uncertain.

Senate ventilation debate ends with amended inquiry
The Senate discussed and amended a resolution for a two-senator committee to visit the president and study chamber ventilation and lighting. Mr. Manderson and others criticized current air quality, Dawes warned of the coffinlike confinement, and Butler urged adding Blair and Saves to the inquiry. The measure passed with modifications to allow consultation with other experts and the architect, and to report next session. The body also noted a Langford land claim inquiry and a memorial for disabled soldiers seeking civil service exemption. The centennial committee attendance was announced, and executive business proceeded as the clock reached five.

A well dressed man with a mustache threatened bank president Mr. Moffatt at First National Bank, demanded 21,000 dollars, and fled after receiving cash.

Trade with Indians aims for vast land cession
The president appointed A. M. Wilson of Fayettesville Arkansas George D. Robinson of Chicago Illinois and J Otis Humphrey of Springfield Tennessee as a commission to negotiate with the Cherokee and other tribes for cession of their title to lands in the Indian Territory totaling about 18 7 million acres west of the 96th meridian excluding Oklahoma. The act hinges on questions of scope and the eventual open lands numbering about 18 7 million acres with Cherokee outlet and other reserves. The commission is to proceed similarly to the Creek Seminole agreement with ratification by the Cherokee nation allowing the lands to join the public domain.
