Senator Quay forgot to speak to President Roosevelt about Charles J. Bonaparte’s report from the Board of Indian Commissioners. Quay says that if the Dawes Commission is dissolved except for Tams Bixby, who is given the commission’s powers, the arrangement will please both Quay and the people. Quay has a plan for “relieving” the Delawares.
