howovor will hardly be delayed be
yond tho end of this week.
Lieutenant Commander I'eary In
tends that the Roosevelt shall be bel-
ter equipped for tho trip to tho Arctic
regions than any provlous ship. Even
though the dnto of sailing must be de-
ferred he Insists that everything shall
he perfectly arranged before tho do
parture. After leaving New York tho

that will be at St. John's N. U. Leav-
ing tho lattor place tho vessel will

structel cabins whllo tho husband
and father endeavor to accomplish
tho last stage uf his great Journey.
Tho expedition will consist of seventy
'men several of them physicians and
scientists and all of the rest carefully
selected hard young tailors from
Maine.
FOR THE NEW STATE.
Some Would Have an Enabling Act
for -Division Hereafter.
A special to tho St. Louis Republic
says:
A now phase of tho statehood ques-
tion has arisen on the evo of tho great
8lnglo statehood convention to bo hold
at Oklahoma City on tho 12th.
The separate 'statehood men offer
this compromlso: Insert In tho en-
nbllng net tho proviso (llko Toxns had
in hor enabling act) to tho offoct that
tho new state nt any tlmo after ad-
mission may on a majority vote of
hor doctors dlvldo tho state Into two
commonwealths.
Personally a great majority of th"
ulnglo or Joint statehood men seem
to favor this Idea. What tho conven-
tion will do therefore Is nwalted with
deep interest.

IMPORTANT
DECISION
TOWNSEND RLNDERS DECISION
AFFECTING INDIAN COURT.
Orders Approving Administrators
Guardians and Leases By Probate
Judge in Tishomingo County
Are Void in Pickens County.
In the case of Joe F. Roblson vs.
Jake Mastenson et nl. Judge Town-
iiend rendered nn ImiMirtnut decision
in that case Joe F. Roblson who hnd
been appointed Kunrdlau of two Indian
children brought suit against .1. ID.
Arnold and his tenant to annul and
set nslrto the lew so held by Arnold on
the Indians' allotments. 'Hie lease
ro Arnold had been executed by n
gttardl-in appointed by Walter Colbert
Judge f tho probate court of Pickens
rotinty and the lca.to purported to
have lien approved by that court.
The ordir npiMimtlng tho guardian its
well as the order approving the lense
appeared to be regular and contain-
ed recitals showing thnt they wore
made In the probate court of Pickens
county Chickasaw Nation but Mr.
Rubicon attacked the order appoint
lug the guardhn. ns well as Jhe ordpr
approving tho tc.nc upon tno ground
that while they purport to hnvo boon
execute In the probate court of Pick-
ens county thev were In fact executed
bv Walter Colbert ns probate Judge nl
Tishomingo which was outside of lie
Jurisdiction and at a place whoro be
had no power to act as probnte Judge.
Tho order helnt regular nnd the re
citals thawing that they were mnde
within the Jurisdiction of the probnte
court of Plekein county 11 wns con
tended by the attorneys if Arnold
thnt they could no be collaterally at
tacked especially since they show
that the probate court acted within n
jurisdiction. Judge Townsend decid-
ed against thlA contention nnd held
that when a judgment of nn Indian
court becomes subject to Inquiry Ir
n cn?e pending in tho United States
court the Jursdlctlon of tho Indian
court could be Inquired into. And i
It bo found that It acted without juris
diction tho judgment would bo held
to be n n'tlllty
Huii'Ucds of administrators nnd
gunr.llans wore appointed by Mr. Col-
bert nt Tishomingo nnd n great many
lensej ppproved by him nt Tishomingo
whllo he wns probate Judge or Pick-
ens county. Under this decision ill
these orderH are absolutely void.
In his decision on tho subject Judge
Townsend said:
"Tho question submitted to me is
upon tho exceptions to tho Blaster's
report. Tho master reported if I un-
derstand tho matte- correctly Hint tho
judgment of th? probato court of Pick-
ens county could not bo attacked col-
latcrly. Tho plaintiff excepts to the
master's report. It occurs to mo that
this question must bo determined upon
tho basis of what thatiorco and effect
Is to be given to tho Judgment of the
Indian courts when they urc attacked
In this jurisdiction."
After quoting at somo length from
Mlnck on judgments and Justice Urnd-
ley tho court further says:
"The circuit court of appeals have
decided that proceedings nnd Judg-
ments of the courts of the Cheroko?
nnd Creek nations nro upon tho same
footing and entitled to tho samo faith
uud credit ns tno proceedings and
judgments of tho courts of thu terri-
tories ot the Union.
"The fifth paragraph of tho amend-
ed complaint alleges that thu act of
appointing tho said alleged guardian
by tho raid Indian court and tho np
provnl of tho said leaso contract if
ever done was dono at Tishomingo
'Plshomlttgo .(county Chickasaw Na-
tion and wp.8 not made- in Pick

fore void and of no effect having been
made outside tho Jurisdiction of the
court AO appointing nnd approving;
that all the acts of tho said county
nnd probato court rcgnrdlng tho ap-
pointment of tho said gunrdlnn aside
from the allegations as mado above
were nnd are absolutely void. The
demurrer admits this allegation to bo
true.
"It Is my opinion thoroforo that
the demurrer in this caso should be
overruled nnd the defendant is al-
lowed sixty days to plead."

COLBERT WILL STAY
WILL NOT BE SUSPENDED OR
DISMISSED PENDING TRIAL.
The Rlchteous View of the Depart-
ment Is That Suspension Might
Prejudice Colbert's Case Trial
Vill Come Up Next Fall.
Wushliigton July I. Ron Colbrrt
United Slates marshal In Indian Ter-
ritory who wns Indicted for alleged
connection with fruuds In tho Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations will not
be suspended or dk'nihsed pending
his trial. This wait dullnltoly stated
at the department of Justice today1.
Sine? his Indictment Delegate Me-
Uulre Iro mOklahomn and other in-ihieucet-
have been rt work In behall
of candidates to suec-'td Colbert The
place however will not be vacated
before next fall If then. Colbert wnt
hero i.ntll Sunday having come to
llnd out how tho department of jus-
tice would look ill on hi- Indictment.
Tho department oillclals took tho vlow
that to suspend or dismiss Colbert
would bo to prejudico his caso and
that the proper procedure would nl
low him to remain In olllce for tho
time being.
It wns said at tho department today
that the trial cannot take place before
uoxt fall. Assistant Attorney General
Rusaell who has chargo of Indian
Territory matters would not say
whothc Colbert would continue to ex-
ercise his functions as marshal. The
Inference Is that ho will not.
District Attomoy Johnson of Ard-
moro will have charge of tho proecu-
tlon ot the school warrant casos. It
Is probablo however that a special
nttornoy will bo employed to co-opor-ate
with tho district cttorney.- He
may bo chosen from Indian Territory

REPUBLICAN
POW-WOW
LINCOLN CLUB CELEBRATES 4th
OF JULY BY MEETING.
A Resolution to Endorse Judge Rob-
neii tor uiuce or iviarsnai Was
Chief Feature of the Meeting.
Lively Diseusslon.
The Lincoln Republican club hold
aii interesting and enthttslnstlo meet
ing last night. Theio were sewral
matters up for discussion before tho
club and there was a good deal of
oratory dispensed for the edification
of the Fathering. Ical speakers had
oniy warmen up in celebration ot the
glorious Fourth when a resolution tj
endorse United States Commissioner
llobnett for the olnco of marshal was
Introduced. Of courso the resolution
was carefully worded and couched In
terms that woultl ordinarily glvo or
fense It no one. However (hero were
several avowed candidates in the field
not to mention those In a receptive
mood nnd the friends ot thoso thought
that the action ot tho club In making
an endorsement wns premature to
iy the lenst. The friends qf .Marshal
Colbert took tho position Hint thure
being no vacancy tho club should re-
strain front muklng tho endorsement.
This ut lenst would seem In Justlco to
Mr. Colbert. The resolution had n
specific clause that la tho ovont of ti
vacancy Robnctt wns tho choice ot the
Lincoln club.
The debute grew Interesting and
good feeling .prevailed. It was llnnlly
agreed that in the oven' ot a vacancy
the club should be culled together for
the purpose of making nn endorsement
and a motion to this effect carried al-
most unanimously. What seemed to
be a light over the resolution was
thus avoided. Robnett took tho Iloor
and stated that the reason he wnnted
the endorsement wns that other cti-dors--
nents were being tiled for the
marHhalshlp and ho wnnted to bo on
the ground Iloor. Tho action of the
club ho said was satisfactory to him.
It was reported In tho papers yes-
terday that Marshal Colbert had re-
signed. This was refuted by hU
friends last night and It was further
stated that Colbert had tho assurance
from the department of Justlco that
he would not bo removed pending tho
charges against him.
It Is n fact however that many can-
didates aro eager to climb in tho bnnd
wagon and aro mkiug endorsements
from the business men nnd other
sources.
In tho event of a vacancy tha rcn!
fight will commenco and thoro will bo
a great scramble.
Tho organization will niako a fight
for hone rule ir Mr. Colbert goes out
