STATEHOOD TALK
4
Inmor Says a Change Will Occur in
the Bill Now Before Congress
TALK OF AOWITTINC OKLAHOMA ALONE
Wnahingtou (ioiulp Say* (Im S -natn In-
veMtigntinff Commute* 1avoit Admit-
ting Oklahoma Without Arizona and
New Mexico—Change in OmnlbuB Kill
Washington:. Presistent rumors are
in circulation that the senate commit-
tee on territories now in Arizonia will
not urge the passage of the omnibus
bill admitting New Mexico, Arizona
and Oklahoma to statehood. Before its
departure on a tour of investigation the
committee wa* of the opinion that Ok-
lahoma was prepared for statehood. It
was convinced that tho other territories
^vere not in Oklahoma's class and for
that reason omitted the newest of the
territories from its itinerary and went
direct t*> Arizona and New Mexico.
Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma, tele-
graphed the committee at Phoenix,
urging it to spend two days in Oklaho-
ma. The Oklahoma delegate promised
to take a special train and make a tour
to include the principal cities of the ter-
ritory. Such a complication as would
-arise through an effort to admit Okla-
homa and refuse admission to New
Mexico and Arizona would precipitate
a new tight and force a new house align-
ment. The democratic vote mado it
possible to pass tho statehood bill in tho
house and the democrats will insist that
all the territorial be admitted at the
same time.
New Mexico gave delegate Rodey, a
republican, almost a solid vote for re-
election, upon tho theory that it would
facilitate, the admission of that terri-
tory to statehood. Tho New Mexico
delegate will come to Washington as
soon as the committoe on territories has
(completed its tour. Ho will endeavor
to block any effort to have congress
pass separately 011 the merits of the
bills admitting the territories to state-
hood. Under the omnibus bill now
pending in the senate all tho territories
must be admitted or none. If the sen-
ate instructs the committee to present
separate bills tho fight between the
single and double statehood advocates
Oklahoma will bo fiercely waged, with
the democratic vote divided. Delegate
Flynn said he was confident of Oklaho-
ma's admission at this session. He
professes to believe that the election of
a republican delegate will niateiially
assist in enlisting the support of tho
senate majority.
"If Roosevelt had l>een a candidate
for president," Mr. Flynn said, "Okla-
homa would have given him 10,000 ma-
jority. If it is admitted as a state the
republicans can count o«i its electoral
yote."
No one has heard from Senator Quay,
who made tho fight for the territories
let tessu n 011 the state issue. They cal
culate that the Pennsylvania senator is
especially interested in the admission of
New Mexico and will bitterly oppose
any effort to have the consideration of
the New Mexico claim separately con
.sidered from Oklahoma.
SOONERS IN TROUBLE
Kuyen of Oklahoma Inherited Indian
Landi May l.oie Out
Shawnee: Speculators who rushed
in last summer to buy inherited Indian
lands in advance of tho general public
are in keen distress. The manipulations
of several simulators became so noto-
rious and their violation of the rules
ami regulations promulgated by Secre-
tary Hitchcock so offensive that inspec-
tors were sent to Oklahoma to seo if the
complaints aud charges forwarded to
Washington were justified.
Tho reports of these inspectors have
been made, but tho department in
Washington lias not annuouuced its
conclusions. Each sale of an Indian
allotment was investigated, and the de-
partment informed whether the price
paid was reasonable, and furnished with
such facts connected with the sale as
could be obtained.
Tho payment of any consideration to
an Indian outside the purchase price
was sjiecifically prohibited by the de-
partment. It is alleged that this rule
was violated in many instances. The
simulator, for example, would offer an
Indian |300 for an allotment worth
$1,200 and say, "sign tho papers and
here is $200 in cash 011 tho side for your
own use." In this way three syndicates
are estimated to have paid out more
than $20,000 on allotments for which
deeds have not been approved by Secre
tary Hitchcock. If Secretary Hitch
cock should not approve tho sales these
speculators will lose this money, as tho
Indians already have spent it and three
is no way of recovering it at law. Al-
together, Oklahoma Indians are believed
to have received not less than fliO.OOO
in this way.
Tho shrewdest and most influential
lobbyists have been employed to repro
sent the speculators in Washington tc
induce department officials to report
favorably 011 the cases now pending.
There is an immense amount of tele-
graphing and letter writing between
Oklahoma and Washington in an effori
to close the business as quickly as possi
ble. Every day's delay makes more un
certain the success of the speculators.
Celery Kqtittl to Any Grown
The last issue of the Pond Creek News
says: "A mau living in Woods county
was in tho city this week with some
r.ew celery of his own raising, and had
no trouble in disposing of it at i. good
price. It was of a new quality, crisp
and tender and as good as the Michigan
celery. He only had a small patch but
had 100 dozen bunches. It is hard to
estimate tho possibilities of Oklahoma. '
Woodmen Matters in Wapanurka
Wapanucka: B. A, Hoxey, state dep-
uty of the Modern Woodmen of the
World, of Muskogee, I. T., and T. B.
Easterly, general lecturer for that
order, of Oklahoma City, are here to

MESSENGER SAVES ROBBERY
Expresft Agent Shoots a llohber While
l'reparing to ltlow up Ills Car
Trinidad, Colo. : Four masked rob-
bers signalled a Southern Pacific train
to stop 'welve miles out of here, and
when the train had come to a slow
speed covered the engineer with a re-
volver; made him stop and compelled
him to alight. After placing a sack filled
with dynamite under the express car
they ordered him to light the fuse. Ho
attempted to do so, but for some reason
the fuse did not ignite readily. H. W.
Sherwick, of Fort Worth, Texas, mes-
senger in charge, realizing what was
going 011, extinguished the lights in his
car and opened tho side door wide
enough to permit the muzzle of a gun to
be pointed out and shot, hitting one of
tho robbers who fell. His companions
picked him up and at once disappeared.
None of tho passenger^ were molested.
A posse was immediately organized and
started in pursuit of the gang. They
wTero not long in locating tho wounded
man, whom tho others had deserted in
order to insure, as they thought, tneir
own escape. It was only tho matter of
a few hours uutil all were captured.
The wounded man died as the effects of
the messenger's shot.
Military Resignations
Guthrie: Adjt. Gen. Burlingame has
announced the resignation of J. F.
Palmer, of Pawhuska, as batallion ad-
jutant Oklahoma national guards and
the appointment of A. J. Niles, captain
of Company D at Blackwell, to succeed
him; also the resignation of W. B.
Wheeler, of Guthrie, as second lieuten-
ant of troop A.
Isaac Miller, a well-to-do larmer,
residing near McMillan, while at a
dance, was fatally shot in the breast.
Tho party alleged to have done the
shooting is under arrest.
OPPOSED TO SALARY RAISE
Gov. Ferguson Mays Any Increase Will
Not Have His Approval
Gbtitkie : In a statement Gov. Fer
KUson announced that with his approv
al no territorial official will recoive t
raise in salary at the hands of tho ap
proaching legislature. It leaked oul
that all territorial officials with tht
exception of Attorney General Robberte
and Treasurer Rambo would include it
their biennial reports to the legislature
a lecommeudation that tho salary ol
their offices be increased. Pre ss repre
sentatives saw the governor and he wa«
emphatic in his diapproral of any sncl
course. "I am opposed to any rais<
whatever," he said, 'especially as state
hood is so near and this matter is out
for the Btate to adjust. Every office)
accepted his position, knowing what
the salary was, and I do not oonsider i
good policy or good government t(
raise the salaries now. I believe state
hood is not far distant." The salary ol
territorial officers is $1,800 and it is un
derstood the officers were recommend
ing raises to $2,000 and $2,500 per annum

Latest Indian Territory News
AGREEMENTS NO BAR
fudge Townsend Say Indian Agreements
Wonld Not luterfere With Matrliood
Ardmore: Statehood is the bnrning
issue with the people of the territory
uid great interest is being taken in the
convention to be held in Claremore on
Dec. 3, when it is anticipated the dele-
gates will declare for union with Okla-
homa. It is more than likely that a
strong delegation will be sent to Wash-
ington in the interest of statehood.
United States Jndge Hosea Townsend,
discussing the practicability of the In-
dian territory being a state, said: "In-
dian agreements will not interfere, in
my opinion, with statehood. The in-
terior department can carry out the
policies already agreed npon between
the Indians and federal government
without affected the inhabitants. I do
not consider the recent agreement a bar
to single statehood, which I prefer. In
several states where reservations are
located, for instance, New York and
Nebraska, there is no conflict between
Indians and non-citizens. The reserva-
tions being under the control of the
federal govenment, they are separate
and practically foreign territory so far
as tho state is concerned.
SALE OF INDIAN LANDS
WANT TO SELL HOMESTEADS
Cherokee National Council to Have
Restrictions Removed
Vinita: The Cherokee national coun-
cil is considering a resolution to request
the United States congress to pass an
act providing for tho removal of the
restrictions on the sale of the lands of
tho Cherokee nation The Cherokee
treaty provides that land equal in value
to forty acres of the average allottable
land shall be designated as a homestead,
have a separate deed issued for it ami
be inalienable and non-taxable for
twenty-one years, or until the death of
the allottee if ho dio sooner, and the
remainder of his allotment he may sell
after five years. Much dissatisfaction
is being heard about these restrictions
and tho Oherokees will try to get them
removed at the next session of rongress.
Tho Cherokees think the restrictions
placed on the sale of their land will
have an effect of retarding the progress
of that nation for nonie years to come.
They feel that they are able to look af
ter their own welfare in this regard ami
for these reasons they will urge upon
congress the necessity of removing the
restrictions from the sale of their lauds.
Killed (tirl With An Ax
Ardmore: Marcum Dnren, a full-
blood Chickasaw, is in jail here, charg-
ed with the murder of Ella Loman, a
fullblood Choctaw, at an Indian settle-
ment, east of here, October 25, No ar-
rest was made until last wook, when
Duron was arrested by an Indian con
stable and turned over to a United
States officer. Duren had a hearing
before a commissioner and was com-
mitted to jail without a bond. The
evidence showed the woman had been
struck on the head with an ax and her
body hid in a brushpile.
Miukiigfe fiti/en* I ryr Permission to
Alienate the Allotments
Muskogee: At a meeting of the
chamber of commerce here a commit-
tee was api>ointod to take up the matter
of the sale of Indian lands aud -eo if
anything could bo done toward the im-
mediate alienation of allotment* ex
cept forty-acre homesteads. This is the
result of a g o.ving feeling that if the
Indian Territory develops to any great
extent within the next five years it must
be possiblo for the white t it zens to buy
land and get title to it. It is generally
believed the secretary of tho interior
will approve such sales. If such is the
case the growth of the Iiul.au country
will be retarded for five years. The
committee will take the matter up wi h
the secretary and may introduce a bill
in congress at the coming session pro-
viding for immediate alenatiou of land.
To Establish Contedsrsts Hsist
The movement to establish a confed-
erate home at South McAlester, I. T.,
is expected to be given a big imiwtus
Thanksgiving day. A gathering of the
confederate soldiers of the territory is
to bo held in South McAlester, on that
day and it is expected that a large
amount of the stock will be placed.
The capital of the association is $10,000,
divided into #>,000 shart s of $'2 each.
I .and Offices Located
Ardmore: Advices received from
Washington state that the land offices
for the Choctaw and Chickasaw na-
tions have been located at Atoka and
Tishomingo, respectively. Leading
citizens here, however, do not believe
the department of tho interior has
selected places as yet.
Muskogee: The Dawes commission
selected Atoka and Tishomingo as
places for the land office in tho Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations. Tho land of-
fices will be opened at those towns Feb.
1, 1U03, and maintained indefinitely
To I'se Name tirades
Ardmore: Thetops of Hock Island
surveyors who have been at work sur-
veying tho line from Waurika to Ard-
more have complete! tho line from
Waurika. It is the general supposition
that they will use the Frisco route from
hero to Ardmore and have a double
track. This will bo a considerable sav-
ing to the roads in the cost of grading.
The fact that these two roads have
adopted this plan for several miles out
from Ardmore lends credence to the
above.
For a Hlg Wolf Drive
Chickasha: Farmers living I* the
vicinity of Laverty, about eight miles
southwest of Chickasha, aro arranging
for a big coyote drive about tho end of
this montlr. Coyotes have been unusu-
ally numerous and bold in the raids on
chickens lately and th** farmers will
take this means of having a day's sport
and at the same time ridding the com-
munity of at least a few of tliono pift-
raudiug animals,
WANTS TO KNOW WHY
Attorneys Are .Said to Have Iteen ig-
nored by the Depart intuit
VINITA: Tho Cherokeo national
council has passed a resolution request
ing an explanation trom the Secretary
of the interior as to what attorney h
have been recognized before the Intern r
department in the matter of the collec-
tion of the $4,000,000 claim duo the
Cherokees.
It will l e remembered that tho Cher-
okee national couucil employed two at
torneys as representatives of the Chero
kee nation to make this collection, and
the Keetoowah Society made a con-
tract with Fort Smith lawyers for tin4
same purpose. It has been rumored
that the former were turned down by
the de'partim ut aud not i>ermittcd to
appear for the Cherokee nation, and
and that tho attorneys for tho Ke< too
wuh wero recognized by the de i ai.-
ment, ami for this reason tho Cherokee
uatiou council requests an explanation.
MEETING OF FIVE TRIBES
Towns of the Choctaw Nation Aiiked to |
Appoint Delegntos
South McAlester: Mayor Fielding
Lewis of South McAlester has issued an
invitation to all towns of the Choctaw
nation to semi delegates to the conven-
tion in South McAlester on Monday,
Nov. L'4, to elect nine delegates to confer
with nine delegates from each of tho five
civilized tribes iu a convention to meet
hero Nov. 25. It is responsive to tho re-
quest of the Ardmore convention for a
territorial convention in support of the
Moon bill and looking to the sending of
delegates to congress to work for that
measure.
Fleeted to Hoard of Kduratlon
Vinita: Tho Cherokee National
Couucil in joint session has elected
Samuel F. Parks of this place as a mem-
ber of the Cherokeo Natioual Board ol
Education to succeed Thomas Carlisle,
whose term of office has expired. The
caucus of the Downing party nomina-
ted C. S. Shelton, and tho National
party nominated S. F. Parks, and when
the election was pulled off enough of
the Downing votes were ca*t with the
Nationals to elects Parks.
Aids to Photography.
One can scarcely keep track of thw
Inventions and devices for the ad-
vancement of photography, so rapidly
are they brought to our notice. The
latest Is a liquid lens that by its uso
instantaneous photographs may bw
made by gaslight, and a one-minuto
exposure will be sufficient for a moon-
light scene. A certain oil is intro-
duced between the parts of a rectili-
near lenft. and thus the refraction is
greatly increased.
Horse Soon to Go.
New York has 1.323 fewer stabies
and 8,660 fewer horses than In Decem-
ber, 1896. The decrease is attributed
to the disappearance of horse cars
cn Hiirfate lines. Expert observers
think that the automobile, at the
present rate of improvement, will
Danish the horse from business traffic
within four or five years.
A Necessary Precaution.
Tho continued unhealthy conditions
along the Ainbejomuekomas. Eskwesk-
wowajo and Meskaskeeseehunk rivers
in Maine have induced the state board
of health to decree that no further
use of the water from these streams
for domestic purposes shall be mado
until their names have been boiled
down.
Much Material for Building.
Among the material used in tho
construction of the new Christ's hos-
pital at Horsham, England, were 40
miles of hot water pipes, 98 miles of
electric wire, 20,000,000 bricks. 1,500,-
000 tlies, 5 acres of wood flooring,
100,000 cubic feet of stone and 56,000
