An enthusiastic meeting of business
men was hold last night at the rooms
of the Guthrie Club in the Gray block
to hear the report of the joint commit-
tee of members of the board of trade
and the Guthrie club and outside busi-
ness men on the question of what ac-
tion was needed ut the present time to
best further the interests of Guthrie in
a business way. Thu committee re-
ported at some length making recom-
mendations that if followed and car-
ried out will put Guthrie far in the
lead of her would-be competitors and
place within her grusp the undlspute 1
palm for the commercial supremacy of
the two territories.
President Spurlock of the board of
trade presided and the recommenda-
tions were thoroughly and enthusias-
tically discussed by W. H. Merten R.
F. Uerkey U. C. Guss Judge Harper
Cunningham Mayor Farquharson F.
II. Greer Judge Schnoll C. G. Horner.
J. S. Lyon and others. One recom-
mendation of the committee was that
the business men of the city all join
the Guthrie club whose charter and
laws were such that every vital inter-
est of the city could best bo looked
after and advanced through it and its
effective committees and whose hand-
somely furnished rooms could be used
for business gatherings entertainment
of strangers and an Information bureau
as well as for social gatherings among
the members whero all might meet
and become better acquainted.
The recommendation met with es-
pecial faror and nearly a score of busi-
ness men who have not been members
of the club at once put In their ap-
plications for membership. livery pro
gresslve business man in the city who
desires Guthrie to grow and prosper
and is willing to do his share of the
work necessary to the making of a
great city here should follow suit
within the next week.
After the close of the general meet-
ing the club proper held their regular
weekly business discussion for the
furtherance of tho bost interusts of
Guthrie and many good points were
made. One question that was up was
freight rates and the discussion on
that alone will undoubtedly bear fruit
that will be directly to the benefit of
every business man and every resident
of Guthrie.
These discussions will hereafter be
held weekly and if any citizen has any-
thing that will help along the city ho
can do no Letter than refer it to the
Guthrie club for discussion investiga-
tion and action.

Washington April 24. Lawless
conditions in the Indian Territory
were vehemently denounced in tho
Senate yesterday during the course of
the debate on tho Indian bill. The
particular provision under considera-
tion was Mr. Piatt's amendment ex-
tending the services of tho Dawes
commission with a view to the making
of a roll of the Cherokee and kmdred
nations. The commission is given di-
rections toward terminating the tribal
relations of the Indians and dividing
their lauds iu severalty.
Tho debate was protracted. In the
course of it Mr. Vest Democrat of
Missouri spoke of the conditions in
the Indian Territory as constituting a
national pest house and a nuisance a
harbor of refuge for criminals depre
ciating property in adjoining states
one-third.
Mr. .lones Democrat of Arkansas
spoke vehemently against the rule of
crime and outrage in the Indian coun-
try and appealed to the .Senate to put
an end to it by this reformatory
amendment. Mr. Hate Democrat of
Tennessee on the other hand spoke
of tho "bummers laud grabbers and
thieves" seeking to rob the Indians
and who would bo given further
powers by this amendment.
Mr. Piatt author of the amend-
ment declared that nowhoro in Russia
Armenia or Cuba did more brutal and
savage conditions exist than in the
Indian country. Five hundred whito
men masquerading as Indians had
seized tho property and the govern-
ment of tlie Indians making the ex-
periment of Indian self-government a
failure. Tho money appropriated for
those Indians was used in hiring
lobbyists to sond here and prevent
legislation.
Mr. Piatt declarod thai ho bad never
during his Senatorial service known
of the uso of so much money or lob-
bios to defeat legislation. It was time
Congress put an end to this foul blot
and disgrace on our national honor.
After further debate the presiding
olllccr ruled the entire amendment out
on the pointy of order made by .Mr.
Walthall Democrat of Mississippi
that it contemplated "general legisla-
tion." Several minor amendments were
made to the bill the most important
being the insertion of the item of 81-
600000 for payment of the Chorokeo
outlet fund which had been struck
out by the committee. The Indian
appropriation bill as thus amended
was then passed. The sundry civil
appropriation bill was then taken up
with the agreement that it should not
displace except temporarily the bond
resolution.
Messrs. Pettlgrew Teller and Cock-
roll were named for conforrees on the
Indian bill.
