the method of scheduling the lots in
the various tons of toe Creek nation
was taken up with the grand jury
of the United States court at Musko-
gee the TimeB-iDeinocrat stated th;it
the manner of scheduling theso lota
vs-as a matter of common knowledge
at the time and that the local United
States officials not only hart knowl-
edge of tiie method but gave t their
approval and hi this :onneeton sug-

not replied to the Roosevelt charges
and admiolstere-l the President such
a stinging rebuke and hail not start-

Hearst thin matter would never been
called to th attention of the grand
jury. A furl her investigation of the
matter develops that not only the
local government officials but both the
Interior Department an 1 the 'depart-
ment of justice Jn Washington D. C
had knowledge of the method and
not only had knowledge but gave it
'.heir stamp of approval.
"It seems 'that "on" October 22 ISu'l
that Hon J. George Wright then
United States inspector for Indian
Territory tiansinitted to the depart-
ment of the interior an act (in the
nature of a resolution) of the national
council of the Creek nation request-
ing the department to have investigat-
ed the sche luling of lots in the towns
of the nations which resolution was
passed over 1U veto of the principal
chief. In .this resolution H was stated
that an investigation ra3 desired be-
cause . ' '
"It was generally known that the
scheduling of.' lota in the different
Government towns in the Muskogee
nation have been illegally made and
that a great number of sail lots were
Illegally listed "t0 and purchased at
one-half the appraised value by par-
ties who had no permanent nor any
Improvement whatever thereon for
the purpose of holding the tame for
various persons at less than their
value for the purpose of speculation
end who wore not entitled to '.he same
snt by such acta the Muskogee na-
tion has been defrauded of the full
value of said lots."
In that resolution it was requested
that '' ;' . "
"The '"iecretcr? of the interior he

. In the letter transmitting this reso-
lution to the department of justice the
Hon. J. Geoi-ge Wright called espec-
ial attention. tn the fact that sections
12 13 an 1 II of the Creek agreement
provides for thf scheduling of Iota

claimant "owns the right of occup-

Because they had the impression
that the State corporation commission
had issued an order that unless pas-
sengers were given seats in the rail-

business men of Enid were compelled
to "count ties" yesterday between
Okeene and Enid. . On the Frisco train
to Okeene they were unable to gat
seats and refused ti. conductor their
tickets. Accordingly he stopped the
train four miles from Enid and put

grievances and complaining of the
treatment they received. The "no seat

Special to Daily Leader.
Washington Feb. 4. A bill has
passed the Senate which provides that
where Indians bavp bei-n given allot-
ments arbitrarily and it is shown that
the land tl;s secured is worthless the
secretary of interior may cancel such
allotments and give the Indians other
lend in the lien of the worthless allot-
ments. Senator Clapp says this will
apply to the five tribes.

fidence in the high standing Integrity
and honor of the indicted men were

Special to Dally Leador.
Washington Feb. 4. It. is gener-
uiy believed by members of Congress
who are well informed Oa the subject
that if there is any legislation secured
I for t! five civilized tribes in Okla
ihorna this session of Congress it win
.have to he done by some adroit tactics
in the Senate.
I This means that when the Indian
i appropriation bill comes up on the
floor of the Senate for passage that
some one will offer as amendments o
carefully worded paragraph or two
boiled down to a concise statement
ot what is wanted and so plain that
no . discussion over the amendments
will be started. !ln this way the appro-
priation hill would probably carry tht.
desired amendments through.
Senators Owen and Gore and other
members of the Oklahoma delegation
do not admit that there is no show
for the bills they have in the commit-
tees and they are going to make a
hard tight in th committees and out
to get them through. The amend-
ments on the appropriation bill will
bo a !a;;t resort.

TION OF BILLS
HOUSE LIKEWISE HOLDS
NO MORNING SESSION
Much important Legislation Ex-
pected During Remainder
ol Session
This morning the house was not in
sesslan as most of the members were
busy in the committee rooms.
Sometimes it takes several days for
the consideration of a single bill and
when t he savne committee has fifteen
or twentv measures on its table some-
idea may be gained of what it means
to be a conscientious worker on any
of the important committees.
Much Important Legislation Expected.
Much important legislation may be
expected during the remainder of the
session in the opinion of a well in-
formed member.
A matter that is just now attracting
wld? attention g the location of piu
lie buildings and state institutions. The
"East Side" being wlunv without any
stale institution is looking on with
an interest that might lie called 'in
tense' while the various towns thai
are candidates for these honors have
their tars close to the ground listen
ing to every sound that comes from
tho direction of Guthrie. While there
aro a few men here in the interest ot
U;dr home towns with the hope ot Se-
curing one of these institutions ihere
are not the crowds of lobbyists that
came for that purpose last year it
vti 11 be remembered that last year they
came In bunches filled the hotel lob-
bies and legislative halls with exhibits
of their products pictures of their
towns etc So far there has been
none of that. Naturally there will he
joniR disappointment when this mat
ur is finally settled but. the legisla-
ture expects to settlo it for what ii
deems the best interest of tlu state
interested in Good Roads.
Aside from this question It Is ex-
pected that a carefully prepared bill
.m good roads will be passed. Every
member In each house is interested in
this mewure and it promises to no
one that will occupy no small amount
of attention. - .
There will not be a great deal ot
hgislatlon directly relating to agricul-
ture this session as the First legis-
lature passed more laws of that sort
than most of the older states have
been able to secure in the past twen
ty years. There will however be a
number ot measures in which the agri
cultural classes lake a lively interest.
Among tljess are bills mi the quaran-
tine matter as to the branding of live
block the eradication of ticks and
the establishment of county experi-
ment farms. A law that the farmers
nil over the state are solidly in favor
ot is a Rood usury bill and the solons
w ill try hard not to disappoint them.
School Land Big Question.
Of course the school land is one
ol th.i big questions of tho present as-
sembly and a bill looking to the sale
of the lands has already been under
discussion for som? time in the sena e.
The present stat- hanking law Is
to be amended as are the laws on 'n-
f-.urance and many oilier matters af
fecting the status of capital.
More legislation is sure to come in
regard to oil and gas and mines and
mining while the lawyers have oUt-rl
larne print of hills affecting legal
procedure- and other technical mat-
ters relating to their profession.

Loyal Creeks are those who stood for
the Union during the Civil war. Their
claim Is for property destroyed and
stock run off while they were away
from their homes during the war. The
aggregate of the latter claim is over
a million dollars. The Kastern Cher-
okee claim amounts to but a few thou-
sand dollars.

Washinton Feb. 4. Oklahoma is
one of the states the Anti-Saloon
league proposes to protect by the bill
which It has approved and which has
been introduced in Congress by John
Langley of Kentucky which is de-
signed to prevent the shipment of li
quors into a porhibition state by rail
road and express companies.
This bill proposes to give the inter
state Commerce commission the power
to prevent such shipments into slates
where the state laws prohibit ship-
ments within the state. Oklahoma
has found its inability; to prevent in-
terstate shipments of mitier the most
sinister menace to the enforcement of
prohibition in that state.
It Is understood that C. K. Din-
widdle hud considerable to do with
drafting the bill and that he trh'd
to make it especially applicable to
Oklahoma where he was so active n
passing the state prohibition law.

What the Indictments Recite
Each one of these Indictments first
recites that. the United States has
always exercised official functions Ii
tho matter of protecting the Indian
tribes In the enjoyment of lands set
rptf-t for their use Bupervbjng
through the Interior department the
selling of such lands when this was
done under agreements with the
tribes and securing the best prices
under the law for such la.nU and
also taking eare of the proceeds for
the Indians. Th"tr the act f March
1 1901. Is referred to. This net pro-
vides for the selllnt; of lots in town-
Kilos In the Mur.kog"o or Creek na-
tion reservation at auction to th"
highest bidders at not less than their
Appraised value. The act however
contained a provision In favor of per-
sons already In occupancy of lands
within (ownsites and that it. permitted
such persons to purchase not. more
than f w0 lots at one half of their ap-
praised value Under thc-c circum-
stances it is charged the defendants
In violation of section 5440 of the r
vised statutes of the United .'States
conspired to so manage ni otters by
means of "dummies" that they fltml-
ly wtflild come Into jiossfsslon of
many valuable lots In Muskogee at
one half their appraised value. They
were to first schedule with the town-
site commission the names of H ihe
persons Uiey coul I think of la dif-
ferent parts of the United State- and
so set th" government machinery In
motion which would finally result in
the hc.-uialice of patents In t.hoie
nameiJ. While the machine")- was
grinding the defendants would secure
unit claim deeds from these prospec-
tive patentees. Having secured rec
ord title the dereh-dants wo;:H tti"n
hasten t dl;p'n;e of the lots to in-

consisted in the writing of letters

that the sixty Modoc Indians who re-
side in the northeastern part of Okla-

en them resisted all efforts of the
Government to get. them to settle down
and bet ome tillers e.f lb" soil. The de-
partment f the interior agrees that
the Government has utterly failed to
bring these Indians to the allotment
policy and that they should be trans-
fcired to the reservation in Oregon.

Special to Daily Leader
Washington Feb. 4. The Gritts-
Ilrow n case n which an early decision
by the Supreme court Is expected Is
one of the most important to Eastern
Oklahoma that has ever been decided
in any court. Upon it depends wheth-
er or r ot every full blooded Indian
of the tribes Is a citizen of the
United States in fact or merely a
dependent subject to the whims of a
sentimental and impractical bureau su-
pervision. .According to the original treaties
ihe full-bloods as well as other In-
dians were to have the restrictions
removed from their surplus lands at
the expiration of five year from tne
time they received title to them anel
fiom their homesteads after 21 years.
In June 13()t; what Is known as tho
McCuruber amendnx ut was passed.
This extended tho restrictions ovr
all the lands of all fu'l-blooda for
pe:rtod of twenty-five years.
This tied up all the full-blood land
and made them dependents still and
subject to depirftn uitniintrol;; and

the Indians. They resented a law
that wiped out their treaty agree-
ments with tho United States without
the consent or approval of the" In-
dians. So Levi Grltts a full-blood
Cherokee Indian brought a suit at
tacking the constitutionality of the
VcCumbcr amendment. He dent 3d
tin? right of nny power to place over
him any restriction that did not apply
to all other citizens of the United
States.
Nearly seventy-five per cent of the
'and title suits now in tho courts of
lastern Oklahoma were the outgrowth
if this amendment. Many lawyers
held that the amendment was uieon-
