CONGRESSMAN LITTLE PLEADS
FOR INDIAN TERRITORY.
Says We Should be Given an Oppor
tunity to Educate the Children
Nearly 90000 Without Schools
Ready for Statehood
WnshliiRton ). 8.. Feb. 19. When
tho consideration of the Indian Appro
priation bill was resumed In tho house
today Mr. Llttlo of Arkansas the
ranking minority member of the Indian
committee addressed himself to the
conditions In the Indian Territory. The
anomalous condition there where TJ-
790 white men had no voice In the gov
ernment he said demanded action n
congress. He c -itondcd that n terri-
torial form of government should ho
sot up thore.
Ho rovlowed tho recent great devel
opment In tho various brnnchos of in-
dustry In the territory. With 150
towns nnd cities nnd wealth amount
ing to ? 50000000 he said thoro wore
80000 whlto children of school nge .nit
no schools. Such a condition of nlTalrs
he declared was an outrage. Ho be
lieved that tho territory was ready 'or
statehood hut that congress should
grant at least some llhornl form ot
Territorial Government.
FLYNN NOT A CANDIDATE.
Oklahoma Delegate Announces That
He Is not a Candidate any More.
Guthrie O. T.. Feb. 10. Word lias
been received by two ot his friends
In this city from Delegate D. T. Klynn
announcing finally and Irrevocably
that ho Is not a candlda'c for con
grcsslonal renominatlmi
It Is conceded on nil sides that If ho
desires tho renomlnatlon ho can have
it. but It hns been known a long time
Hint a renomlnatlon was considered tin
desirable by him. It has been tho
hope of his closo friends thnt ho woul.l
niter his determination not to inn
thnt they could dissuade him but they
now confess that this Is not to be hop-
ed for. i
The truth Is that tho Indofntlgable
representative foels tho need of rest.
Ho has exhausted himself In nls ofll-
clnl discharge of dutlos to what is by
far tho largest constituency In tho
United Stntos.
No detail has been loo small for
him to slight no ...ittor so trlval that
he has overlooker li Ho has woikcd
night nnd day nnd wauls a surccaso
from the toll which ho hns performed
so willingly and with such signal suc-
cess. The novelty of candidacy has
worn off too and n campaign embrac-
ing tho wholo territory Is not Inviting
During his last candidacy ho actual
ly collnsped twice before audiences.
Mr. Flynn wants K.ime other Repub
lican to mnt.o the rnro. Ho will not
tnko a hand In the nominating con-
vention. Two candidates ns his successor arc
prominently mentioned here. Dick T.
Morgan nnd Wnltor H. Stevens Neith-
er would bo In tho race If Mr. Flynn
signified his intention of being a can-
didate but now that he Is out of It
both will probably begin nn active
canvns of tho tcrrltorry.

out to meet Johnson and the band that
ho captured and conduct them to the
federal 'jail hore.
No word has been heard yet from
tho band ttiat compelled Isparhechor
to gtvo up tho U. S. flag. It is thought
Tint they have been caputrcd out
Marshal Dennett had not heard from
Deputy Fought BtZwx early yostorday

band that wan near lleggH Is a pnrt jf

not hnvt' reached the Henryetta r.mp
in time to have been capturod by John.

Fought and Haynos captured tho ;;uig
that was operating lit thu vicinity of
Ispntheoher's homo they will be
brought In this morning on tho enrly
train ns they did not arrive Inst night.
Sevural prominent Chorokees wore

rested and lined ?6.fi5 by Police Judge
Gnlt for selling goods on tbo sticct3
without a Hccnso.
The article handled by Mr. Harrett
was nothing moro nor less thnn key
checks on which he had to stamp
your jinmo before you would glvo him
anything for It. To do thnt required
labor and for that reason Mr. Barrett
thought that he ought not to be
required to pay a license because ns
be expressed It It would bo Imposing
tax on Inbor. which ho said was
unconstitutional.
Judge Gait was under tho Impres
sion thnt It required a license and as
the gentlomun had not secured tho
snino beforo branching out In his bus
iness he was fined $1 nnd costs mak-
ing $G.G5 In all.
However Judge Gait told Mr. Har
rett that if hi would go and got tht
signatures of two nldorn.on asking
him to remit tho line ho would do so
and ho was not long In securing the
signatures of Aldermen Pennington
nnd Gollcdgc.
Alderman Gollcdgc while his per
sonal way of thinking about thu mat-
ter was exactly In lino with tho stran-
ger was very particular not to
sign It until he hnd examined the or
dinance touching thnt point and fail
ed to find anything thnt would rcqulro
a license from a man doing work on
our streets oven though ho did fur
nish a small piece of German silver
on which to do tho work.
