Charles J. Bonaparte informs President Roosevelt that he has sought copies of the files about Seymour Wilcox Tulloch’s charges against the postal administration; he and Holmes Conrad will report to Roosevelt about it as soon as possible. Per a conversation with Darwin R. James of the Board of Indian Commissioners, Bonaparte shares that Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock “finally consented” to publish unchanged a report from the Board, and Bonaparte has urged James to ask Roosevelt that these reports always be printed as their “subjection to a censorship” by the Interior Department is “more objectionable than their entire suppression.” Bonaparte also reports that Hitchcock refused, as was the custom, to publish with the Board’s report the proceedings of the last “Mohawk Conference of the Friends of the Indian,” a decision Bonaparte finds regrettable as the precedent is clear, the expense negligible, and the discussions of the Conference considerable. He feels the incident will place the Department in “a position of needless antagonism.” Bonaparte concludes by noting the enclosure of his letter to Archbishop P. J. Ryan of Philadelphia regarding the withdrawal of rations the previous autumn from Native American children attending religious schools. Bonaparte will try to obtain a copy of a pamphlet circulated among Catholics on this subject.
