WAS LEFT OUT
NO PROVISION FOR SCHOOLS IN
CHICKASAW NATION.
Indian Appropriation Bill Does Not
Mention Chickasaw Nation Pass
age of Bill Would Deprive
25000 White Children.
In reading ot the Indian npproprla-
tlon bill Superintendent or Schools J.
D. Benedict has discovered that there
Is no provision mado for tho Chlcka-
flaw Nation for the establishment and
maintenance of schools whilo all the
other nntions are mentioned. Ho lias
written a letter to tho secretary ot the
Interior calling his attention to the
fact.
In tho event the bill passes as It
now stands it would deprive 25000
white children In tho Chickasaw Na-
tion of schooling.
This is either nn oversight or a
slap nt tho Chickasaw Nation which
during tho past year refused to pay
tholr share towards maintaining
schools where non-cltlzcns attended.
This was tho only nation that did not
co-operate with tho government to
glvo whltu children equal rights with
Indian children.
President Approves Cherokee's Work.
Tho National Council of t'ae Chero-
kee Nation met la session nt I'jU-
lequnh in November and panted a
number or acts which were seut to
tho president for approval which is
nesossary before they can ucooaio
laws
Seven of tho acts of the council
bearing tho approval of the presidon
wero received at tho inspector's of-
fice this morning and aro as fol-
lows: An acl making un uppropr'ptlon
for tho benefit of Cherokee pupils
at tho school for the blind deal and
dumb at Fort Gibson.
An act making an appropn.ri
for tho support of tho Cherokee Ad-
vocato. An act making an appropriation
for tho support of tho Cherokee Nat-
ional Insano Asylum.
An act making an appropri.it Ion
lo pay tho expenses of tho Citizen-
ship attorneys before tho Dawes
Commission.
And two hills to pay expenses of
special election. Muskogeo Demo-
crat. "His Absent Boy."
Harry Corson Clarko niado his first
uuturo as a star In -What Happened
to Jones.' With his ou compauy he
t.tred for threo seasons in that capi-
tal comedy and added greatly to his
popularity wherever ho appeared.
His Impersonation was so artistic so
humorous aud altogether so Intolligcut
Uiat two dramatic critics who witness-
ed his performance grow enthusiastic
over his work and offered to writo a
comedy especially for him that would
bring Into play tho full range of his
versatilo talents. Tho result is "His
Absent Hoy" nnd It Is no secret that
the title came to Mr. Clarko as manna
from heaven. No less certain Is it
that his practical knowiedgo of tho
stage has proved to be at r.iv.c tho in-
spiration and motive power for his
dramatists.
"For Her Sake."
It can probably bo said with safety
that tho Amoiican people as a wholo
aro Httlo acquainted with tho litera-
ture ot Hussia. Hw t'icator-golus
public find It faithfully reflected how
ever In modern stage productions.
Ono of tho best of tho Russian plays
according to all accounts Is "For Her
Sake" a talo of Iovo and intriguo and
suffering In tho Siboriau convict
mines. It Is a pretentious stago pro-
duction and It will bo offered hero at
tho opera house on tbo evening of
Thursday February 2. Tho company
Is a largo ono and is
t equipped sccnlcally It Is said with
groat fidelity to tho requirements of
facts and with small regard for ex-
pense. It is credited with a leavening
of original comedy.

Political Play Things
Senator Welden H. I ley burn ot
Idaho of whom nobody ever hoard
until ho broke Uio silence of his obliv-
ion with n speech against tho state
hood bill thinks tho population ot the
Indian Territory would become "a po-
litical play-thing" and "an element to
lie truiV-u and do business with"
upon tho creation of a state
from Oklahoma nml the Indian Ter-
ritory. Now what do you think of that tor
statesmanship? Mr. Hoyburn certain
ly must bo a largo bore statesman
to have thought that all up by htm-
seir. If all the other objections to
statehood are as welt fouudod as this
one alas for our prospects. Mr. Hey-
hum Is beyond doubt well Inform-
ed upon tho subject of our uccds
hens ho can probably take a map of
tho United States and point out
where- tho Indian Territory lies with
hardly a moment's hesitation. He his
doubtless been told too that wo aro
now a political play thing or an ele-
ment to bo traded and do bustuc3S
with. Hut there nro perhaps a few
fncts which have escaped tho incan-
descent gaze of tho statesman from
! Idaho.
There are over 600000 peoplo in the
Indian Territory ot whom a vast ma-
jority uro people from tho north and
east who have had the courage to
build their homes In a now country
and tho fortitude to stand the ter-
rors of a long range government
hoping and enduring against Uio day
of better things. Give thorn the reins
of their own government glvo them
the chance that common decency on
tho part of congress entitles them
to and the)' will make u common
wealth that will surpass Senator
Heyburn'y bleak and mountainous
bailiwick as an arc lamp does a can-
dle. "Political play things" wo are now
to tho shame of tho national con-
gress bo it said. Glvo us statehood
nnd wo will never bo political play
things again. South McAlester News.
TRIBAL TRUST FUNDS.
Bill Prepared Providing for the Al-
lotment of $30000000.
Washington Jan; 27. Tho board
ot Indian Commissioners in annual
session hero have prepared a hill
for Introduction In congress at this
session providing for allotment to
tho credit of the Indians individual-
ly ot tho Indian tribal trust ruuds
now hydd In the treasury. ThoSo
funds aggregate approximately $30-
000000. Under this general measure
11 is supposed that tho money con-
verted from tribal funds to Individ-
ual holdings shall not bo paid to tho
Indians at ouco unless tho wisdom
of such a course should bo apparent
In somo cases but each Indian will bo
credited with tho nmount he would be
entitled to If tho funds wore actual-
ly distributed interest to bo contin-
ued. The commissioners today adopted
u resolution strongly favoring uio
amendment. proposed by Senator Gal-
Uglier to Indlnn Territory statehood

bition of liquor trade. Irrigation on

ered particularly as to tho needs of

plant Is being pressed by the board.
Good Roads Convention.
Tho good roads convention now In
session Is tho first meeting ot tho kind
to bo hold in tho Indian Territory al-
though two such meetings hnvo been

attended tho conventions pronounce
tho Muskogeo meeting as tho best yet
to take placo. Tho attendance and tho
interest nro all that could bo desired
nnd the discussion nnd program deal
with subjects of practical interest and
benefit. It is oxpectcd that much good
will cotno from tho meeting nnd that
Its good Influence will bo felt In the
future organization of tho new stato.

shots during yestordny's riotlug ac-
cording to the returns made by the

Warsaw Jan. 28. A collisston bo-
tween troops and strikers occurred at

military used their arms.
It is officially stated that Uio cas-
ualties were two killed and seven In
Jured.
Th-o strikers invaded tho Wolski
suburb and broke Into liquor shops.
There was a sharp encounter with tho
police.
St. Petersburg Jnn 28. At tho for
eign office today the Associated Press
was informed that the proposition
from Secretary Hay to submit the
question of the violation ot thu Chi-
nese neutrality to international arbi-
tration had not been received. The
officials wero rather noupulscd at tho
suggestion declaring that they could
nut understand how it was possible
under the present circumstances to
adjust such a question by such means.
The exchange ot signatures ot the
Ktisslnu-Amoricun arbitration treaty
within a few days Is expected to fol-
low Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's re-
ply forwarded today through Ambassa-
dor McCornilck to Secretary Hay's re-
presentations regarding tho subject
of difficulty In tho mnttcr of ratifica-
tion by tho Bcnato of any treaty de-
parting from tho original Frunco-llrit-lsh
model. Tho difficulties as alleged
by Mr. Hay are thoroughly appreciated
and Russia bolng anxious to consum-
mate tho treaty has docldod not to In
sist upon tho form of tho treaties
which sho has already negotiated wit i'
Belgium aud Norway nud Sweden in
addition to tho United States.
Moscow Jan. 28. The day passed
off quietly. It Is now almost certain
that tho strike movement in Moscow
and its lminedlato vicinity will wear
Itself out within a few days. Tho prin-
ters returned to work this aftenioon
and two moro factorlos south ot the
river havo reopened but It Is suspect
ed that tho mon aro trying to evade
tho order that they should not be
paid unless they resumed work and
that after receiving their pay tomor-
row thoy may again strike. Tho man-
ufacturers therefore will not he crnlto
reassured until Sunday has gone by
but thoy remain confident ot the abil-
ity of the authorities to put down dis-
turbances. Tho douma In extraordinary sosslon
this evening decided to take precau-
tionary measures to safeguard the
water gas aud electric works in the
event of noting aud also appointed a
special commission to Investigate the
cause of tho present movement. This
committeo is likely to become an In-
termediary for masters nnd men and
help them to adjust their differences.
