INDIAN AFFAIRS
Representative Carter ’ s
Measure Interests Stu-
dents of Conditions.
A special dispatch from Oliver
Kuhn to the Oklahoman, dated
Washington, April. 1, reads as
follows:
Great interest is being shown
in Representative Carter’s bill
providing for the winding up of
the affairs of the Five Civilized
tribes, not only in Oklahoma but
in Washington, particularly
among those members of con-
gress who have long been stu-
dents of the great American
native.
By the provisions of the bill,
the secretary of interior is di-
rected to adjudicate the right to
enrollment on the final approved
rolls of the Five tribes of all In-
dians and intermarried persons
whose names are on the socalled
list of fifty-two or on the Pollock
list transmitted by the secretary
of interior in February, together
with the cases of all persons
whose enrollment on the final
approved rolls of the Five Civil
ized tribes was directed by the
secretary of interior " ithin six
u, Hu..-, i linrlo Man-h 4, iyt)7,
but whose names do not appear
on the final rolls and who had no
bearing or opportunity to be
beard, to show that the said final
ord' r or decision in their favor
should nut be ignored,or annull-
ed
It is provided that the right of
all persons to enrollment shall
be finally adjudicated within six
months from the date of the
passage of the act and the names
of all such persons found enti-
tled to such enrollment if any,
shall be added to the respective
rolls, but no person enrolled
shall be permitted to enter suit
or contest for any tract of land
previously allotted. In the case
of restiicted Indians, enrolled
under the provisions of the
measure, it is provided that com-
pensation of attorneys for their
services shall be fixed by the
secretary of the interior.
The measure would put an end
to the ever-increasing claims to
the right of enrollment and the
hundreds of suits which are filed
to obtain the promiscuous re*
opening of the rolls. It provides
that the action of the secretary
of interior shall be final and con-
clusive, after which the rolls
shall be considered as finally
closed and the secretary of in-
terior shall proceed as expedit
iously as practiceable to dispose
of all tribal lands required for
allotments and distribute the
(proceeds among the members
of the tribes entitled to share in
them.
It further is provided that the
secretary of interior shall, un-
der rules and regulations to be
prescribed by him, cause all the
remaining unallotted lands be-
longing to the Choctaws and
Chickasaw tribes in the state of
Oklahoma except land segregat-
ed for school building purposes
and the mineral deposits in the
segregated mineral land to be
classified and sold.
The Carter measure further
provides that the classification
o* the lands shall be as agricul-

ooking forward to great success

of endurance and plenty of speed
and is also casting the discuss

take "Jake” Howell’s, the last
years star, place !in the 220 and
440 yards, and in the hurdles.
"Hiram” (Isaac) Morrison is put-
ting up the endurance on the
long distance events, and is
burling the discuss to a good
distance. Earl and Frank Evans
are putting the shot further
than it has been put in previous
years by several feet. Earl is
considered a sure winner in the
880 yards and the mile, having
finished next to Labadie in the
half last year, and Labadie hav-
ing graduated is out of the way
for this season. "Teddy"

THE OKLAHOMA
‘RUN’ AGAIN
Famous Opening of the
Territory to be Re-
prod uced.
From K. C. Star.
The Oklahoma run will be re-
produced April 22 when Okla-
homa Territory celebrates the
twenty-third anniversary of the
opening of the land to settlement
in 1889. Plans have been made
by the business and professional
men of Guthrie for the celebra-
tion. The run for homes at high
noon, the staking off of claims,
the rise of the tented city of 20,-
000 persons in one day, and the
mammoth ’89ers parade, all will
be re enacted by hundreds of
men and women who took part
n them twenty-three years ago.
A 1,200 foot moving picture
film will be taken during the day
so the thousands of people who
attend moving picture shows
daily throughout the country
may know just how this greatest
race for homes was run.
The main mover in the celebra-
tion is Col. John Golobie, the
bachelor newspaper man, who
made the run back in 1889. It is
time, Colonel Golobie argues, to
make permanent the scenes that
actually occurred, and so the
moving picture production of the
entire affair was decided upon.
The twenty-third celebration
of the opening, as planned for
Guthrie, will follow the program
as was outlined in President Har
rison’s proclamation that opened
the country. Thefe wfll-fce ootn

getting an advantage over the
main body of homeseekers in the
selection of claims. And a sold
ier, with a rifle in his hand, will
stand near the border line, ready
to fire the signal for the rush to
start at high noon.
The men and women who par-
ticipate in the celebration, will
be in line just beyond the Cimar-
ron river, two miles north of
Guthrie. They will assemble,
just as they did twenty-three
years ago, in prairie schooners,
farm wagons and various other
kinds of vehicles, and hundreds
of them, too, on horseback. The!
men, in many instances, went
