Missouri. This matter is in connec-

litigation for ten or fifteen years,
several of the heirs of which land
live in the territory and some of
them formerly lived In Tulsa..
Many prominent attorneys have
been connected with this matter, in-
cluding Senator R. t*. Stone of Mis-
souri, and the fact that the Interested
parties have come to the territory
to procure attorneys to unravel the
mixup speaks well for the legal tal-
ent of the territory.

The talks of Mr. Martin, Mr. Poe
and Mr. Talley, leading citizens, were
short, out full of meat for the sena-
tor. The difficulties of living in the
territory, the needs aud surplus
things civic corporations possessed,
and what the people hope for yrere
briefly outlined to the distinguished
party.
Favors More Help.
At the end of the reception, Sen-
ator Clapp said to a Democrat re-
porter:
“I will favor a material increase
in rite forces employed in the depart-
ment of the Indian offices here, hav-
ing to do with the removal of restric-
tions and the issuing of deeds to
allotments. He also declared In
favor of a continuation of the tribal
schools until a school system is estab-
lished tinder statehood government,
and some kind of legislation that will
facilitate the removal of restrictions
from Indian land. He also declared
in favor of separate statehood for
territory if the majority of the peo-
ple want it. and single statehood if
•m independent state cannot lie
secured.
One Day Opinion.
Of coitrst, having been in Indian
Territory only a few days.” said Sen-
ator Clapp, "I am not familiar with
the details of conditions here, and am
somewhat embarrassed in expressing
my views on these matters. How-
ever, I gave the needs of the territory
considerable study before coming
here, and after conferring with the
Indian officials today I am convinced
that congress must do something im-
mediately to improve conditions in
'Ms country. A matter of prime im-
portance is that of devising some plan
of tnctllinling the removal of restric-
tion ftont the sale of Indian lands.
The present system, I believe, which
requires an application and an
investigation into each individual
case, is the best, if a sufficient force
of employes are placed in the Indian
agency here to handle 'he applica-
tions as fast as they come in. By in-
creasing the force and making it pos-
sible to have lhe recommendations of
the agent here passed upon immedi-
ately by the interior department the
removal of restrictions could lie
greatly facilitated.
“The objection to the plan that has
been suggested of removing restric-
tions except on homesteads of certain
classes of citizens. Is that questions
might arise as to who constituted
these classes, whereas by the present
system a clear record is kept of each
rase, ant! becomes a part of the title.
1 shall favor an increase in lhe force
employed hv the commissioner to the
Five Civlllfv.d Tribes In handling
deeds. The greatest trouble in this
country, I believe, Is occasioned by
an Inadequate force, both here and in
some of the departments nt Washing-
ton to handle the Indian business,
and this I shall seek to remedy'.
Talks About Schools.
In relation to the extension of the
tribal school system after March 4,
tire length of the grade. As this
work will commence at once and by
a Mr. Chesley and associates who will
Jo the work, the first test will be mid
wav between Red Fork and Mounds,
commencing Tuesday next.
The best information obtainable is
that, the Frisco is behind the enter-
prise as the connection at Mounds
will serve as toe proposed cut-off that
has been under consideration by the
Frisco since toe building of the A. V.
4 \Y from what, is known now to
Tulsa. The Shawnee line would be
built from Okmulgee southwest.
The coal proposition on the Battle-
Axe is one of three main points, the
second is the shortening of the Red
river division by connecting at the
A. V. & W. Junction, where a central-
ization of both branches of the main
line together with the division and
shops, the intersection of the Red
river would be at Mounds, fifteen
miles south of the A. V. A- W.
Third, the use of the Red river to
Okmulgee and the contraction of a
new line to Shawnee, which will be
the Frisco’s first appearance on the
Shawnee Territory map.

'o slap those men in the face and
charge them with dishonesty.
"I am here to tell you that when
these people go to congress with their
constitution, they will make senators
end congressmen stop and think.
Gentlemen, you too, would stop and
think You are going to defeat state-
hood. It will not do."
The little slip containing the
judge's speech continues with this:
"It is needless to say Mr. Sleeper
took his seat in silence more dense
than a London fog, because he had j
told the enemies of Indian Territory
what their real purpose is."
One-Stater* Ponder.
Judge Sleeper’s speech was not
thought much of at the time, and but
brief attention was given ic. Just
bow it happened to get into the hands
of the two-state crowd is not known.
Joint staters are charging the
colonel with furnishing it, though
it is word for word like he gave it,
and no one in the room took it down
in short-hand.
The Tulsa meeting was held open
and above board, and was attended
generally by citizens. Judge Sleeper
is not a member of the executive com-
mittee. hut was given a hearing.
How his speech got circulated, and
in his exact words, is causing the
members to scratch their heads—and
wonder just where the ex-speaker of
the house it "at."
