TALKING TITLE.
Creeks Want All Restrictions
affecting Sale of Lands
Removed.
NATIONAL COUNCIL
Will Take Up the Matter and It is
Thought That Congress Will
Be Petitioned to (frant
Full Title to Allot-
ments. U'in the Creek council corr-
enes nell Tuesday 6ome interest-
ing resolutions pertaining to the
leasing and sale ol allotments are
expecled to be passed.
The press of the Nation basbeen
for eotne time pointing out bow
the present restrictions are retard
ing development and has been
urging that some eifps be taken to
call the attention of congress to
the matter.
Hundreds of protective invett-
ora and homeeeekers after investi
gating the present conditions have
"been prevented from investing
owing to the clouded titles.
It is said that Chief Porter has
prepared tome recommendations
4 'looking io the correction of tbtee
conditions and it is thought that
congress will he petitioned to give
relief by removing all restrictions
except those necessary to safeguard
the interests of the fullblood ele-
ment. With those capable of managing
J their own affairs in absolute pos-
session of Iheir allotments it will
be pointed out the Nation will
soon receive the benefits of ft large
tide of desirable immigration.
The other nations are expected
to join with the Creeks as their
affairs permit and it is expected
that sufficient influence can be
brought to bear on congress to ob-
tain the relief sought.
The advocates of full title argue
that not only in a commercial way
will the removal of the present re-
strictions greatly benefit the sev-
eral nations but that by inducing
K immigration it will soon correct
' tbe exietiug political conditions.
The development of 'the agita-
tion in the Cret-k Nation will be
watched with interest throughout
tb Territory.

Tendered by Airs. Ifatsei! to a Large
Number ol Guests Yesterday Af-
ternoon. Mrs. W. E. Halsell entertained
a large number of ladies yesterday
afternoon from three to eix with a
delightful musicale.
Tbfl most Bttractive fentu'e nf
the entertainment was a number
of songs by Mrs. Florence Stevens
Lennon who came up from Mua-
koaee to be present at the function.
Mrs. Lennon possesses a voice of
remarkable sweetness and power
a well as of high cultivation.
All of the number! were well
rendered and highly appreciated
by the audience. The artistic pro
grams in dainty water- colors
were of varied design forming at
tractive eouvenirs of the pleasant
occasion. About fifty gue6ts were
present. '
T. B. Needlea Cherokee.
A cood story is told on Col. T
B. Needles as a consequence of his
allowing bis illustrious cognomen
to be bestowed upon an unknown
Cherokee infant. Several days
ago at Muskogee a party of Till
nois investors who were proepect
ing in the Muskogee neighborhood
were discussing Colonel Needles
and one of theui incidentally re
marked that be was a citizen of
Illinois. A recent addition to the
Dawes commission force who over
heard the remark challenged the
statement saving tha. Colone
Needles vras a Cherokee and
backed up his statement by the
announcement that he bad per
eonally filed his citizenship card.
A wordy war was soon on and tne
lllinoieans were divided between
doubt of the statement and con
demnation for Col. "Tom" desert-
ing bis allegiance to the old sod
when that illustrious gentleman
appeared on the pcene and ex-
plained that a nameless Cherokee
infant brought before the commis-
sion for enrollment hadfouud re-
fuge in the shadow of his name.
Aa the explanation was concluded
the new attache led the way to a
convenient smoke counter.

if's a necessity and so you buy it as cheaply as
