MUSTER OUT
IS RESUMED
SECRETARY TAFT CHECKS DIS-
CHARGE OF NEGRO TROOPS
AT FORT RENO
BUT HE AFTERWARDS REKIGS
President Roosevelt Would Not Re-
open Case Unless New Evidence
Was Presented to Disprove
His Recent Findings.
WASHINGTON: The war depart-
ment issued the following statement
Wednesday concerning the negro
(roops ordered dismia^ed at i ort
Reno:
"In the matter of the order dis-
charging the enlisted men of three
companies of the Twenty-fifth Infan-
try issued by the president, applica-
tion was presented to the secretary
of war by a number of persons of
standing asking for a rehearing by the
president on the ground on which the
action was taken.
"The secretary telegraphed the
president of the application and de-
layed the proceedings of the discharge
until the president could indicate his
wishes. The secretary was meantime
called out of town. No answer was
received from the president. The sec-
retary on his return did not feel justi-
fied in further delaying the execu-
tion of the order of discharge, espe-
cially in view of the fact that the sec-
retary then learned that the president
had fully and exhaustively considered
the argument against the order of
the persons who now applied for a
rehearing. Accordingly the secretary
directed Tuesday that the proceedings
for discharge be continued without
delay."
Later in the day Secretary Taft re-
ceived a dispatch from President
Roosevelt and Issued the following ad-
ditional statement:
"A telegram was received from the
president at 11 o'clock after the previ-
ous statement was given out at the
war department, in which he de-
clines to suspend the discharge unless
there are now facts "f such lmifort-
ance as to warrant cabling him. He
states that the action was taken after
due deliberation and that the only
matter to which he can pay heed is
the presentation of facts showing the
official reports to be In whole or in
part untrue or clearly exculpating
some individual. If any such facts lat-
er appear he can act as he deems ad-
visable, but thus far nothing has been
Introduced to warrant the suspension
of the order and he directs that it be
executed."
Secretary Taft says that immediate
steps will bo taken to recruit colored
soldiers to replace the men discharg-
ed. Members of the three companies
who were on a furlough at the time of
the Brownsville affair and three mem-
bers who are to be tried by court mar-
tial will not be mustered out.
It was authoritatively stated here
that the matter of the dismissal of
the troops had net been brought to
the attention of the president by the
White House officials since he left
Washington more than ten days ago.
None of the protests which have been
filed against the carrying out of the
action have been received at the
White HouBe, but have gone to the
war department.
I
While no definite promises were
made, It is understood that during
the senate committee's Btay In Mus-
kogee they assured r prominent offi-
cial there that in all probability Mus-
kogee will have a public building erect-
ed soon after Oklahoma becomes a
state. The senators promised, it Is
said, that they individually would do
all In their power to secure an ap-
propriation for that purpose. The
building, if erected, would be occu-
pied by the postmaster, the Dawes
commission and the Union Indian
agency.
GRAFT IS CHARGED
Straw Men are Named as Guardians
of Indian Minors, It is Said
ARDMORE: Before the United
States senatorial committee, which ar-
rived here Wednesday afternoon, W.
B. Johnson, fornvir district attorney,
charged that under the present sys-
tem of appointing luardlans for In-
dian minors, "straw men" are named
and through them control of the land3
tors passed into the hands of specu-
lators. F. K. West, a farmer and an
Intermarried Chickasaw citizen sub-
mitted a brief to show that the pres-
ent leaBe laws makes It possible for
land speculators to grow rich at the
expense of the Indians. He advocated
the sale of surplus lands In tracts of
160 acres, requiring five years' resi-
dence upon the land before the Issu-
ance of a patent.
Deputy United States Clerk N. P.
McCoy and Probate Clerk H. C. Oates
were called to testify regarding the
appointing guardians for the Indian
minors.
Much Interest In the proceedings
was shown by the senators.

trms, has been applied for by T.
Pickens and others against Commis-
sioner Tarns Bixby to compel him to

five people are represented In this
specific case the decision rendered
will affect the rights of over three
thousand people.

A R.aii\ge Tha^t
Burns All the Coal
'OST likely you
have been throw-
ing away good
) coal every day
without know-
ing it.
Coal that is
only partially burned in the
fire-box.
Because, with the ordinary
range draft, the air current only
strikes part of the fire.
Usually the damper door on
such a range is situated at one
end of the fire-
box, which
makes your fire
hot at the draft
end and cold at
the other end.
Or the damper is perhaps on
the left side of the stove, which
makes an uneven fire for the
same reason.
You are not only losing fuel,
but your cooking and baking is
unsatisfactory, for you cannot
get a uniform heat.
Now, the draft in a Monarch
Range is entirely different.
Instead of one damper door,
there are two, one in each end of
the fire-box.
These form a double or Duplex
Draft, and both are regulated by
the same handle.
So you get two direct currents
of aii at the same time, and your
fire burns smoothly and evenly.
You open both drafts simul-
taneously and shut them off the
same way
The draft striking the fire from
both directions consumes all the
fuel, and gives you all the heat-
ing power from the coal.
When you empty the ash-pan
in a Monarch Range, you are
throwing away ashes—and ashes
only—not coal.
And in additioh to this, the
Monarch is constructed of Steel
and Malleable Iron, which can be
er end. Ho "Stay Satisfactory'JUngt
riveted so tight
and solid that no
air - leaks can
possibly happen
as they do In
cast iron ranges.
The top is Malleable Iron, pol-
ished and bright. You can keep
it clean without smearing your
range with blacking which gets
on the cooking vessels, to make
more work for you.

Saves the
Fuel
The LOSS in ordinary soft coal
steveb Is caused by the LOSS of the
erases and the (smoke from the coal go-
ing up the chimney, This we obvi-
ate In the ILINOY HEATER by
burning the greater of the gases and
smoke, forcing superheated air direcf-
ly on top of the fire, Igniting the gas-
en and tho smoke.
The feature of consuming the gases
and soot In the ILINOY Heater to better
advantage than is done by any other
stove of the same nature on the irar-
ket is by havinj the air in the ILINOY
HEATER heated to a greater degree
than in all other stoves before it
reaches tho fire.
