ALL CASES DOCKETED UNDER
MARTIN DECISION.
Right of White Children of Intermar.
rled Citizens ot H e Chickasv

Contidvibly Vv.'tlled.
A Muskotfee special ) a tele
gram hue been received at tho Dawon
eommlsslou from Commissioner 1 fix
ity who U In Washington ordering all
esse that have been docketed under
i he Hllsabeih Murtln decision to bo

taw and Chickasaw Nations to allot-
ments urn Involved that Is children

ried out of the tribe and children
were botn to the second marriage.
KHwibeth Martin was of sudf parent
age rue Dawes commission reiuacn
to give her an nllotment but under
the decision of the secrcUiry of tho

. An umendiiiL-nt cutting these chil-
dren out of allotment was propone I
in the Curtis hill. In the discussion
In the senate by Senators Clark and
I tnl ley Ufo fact was brought out thai
thi attorney general had already
made a decision on these cases and
that It was against them. Of this de
cision nothing was known by th
I hi wok commission. Chief Counsel
Hodgers htntefl yexlerday that thoy
had never be on notified of such n de-
cision. Apparently this dlilcUHiron
lu the senate called the attention ot
Commissioner lllxby to the mntUir
nnd he nt once luvohtlgnted and there-
upon wired the commission here to
hold up all similar cases. His wlr
does not explain the matter however.
At the same time the KlUabeth Mar
tin case was handed down by the do-
'Mirtmeut a decision was made In the

Testimony Mas taken at the commis-
sion until nearly midnight and again
today until noon. There have boon
hundreds of similar case filed under
this decision and they are now heug
heard by. the commission

statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and will work as hard to
H'curo It as they are doing to bent
the Arizona and New Mexico end of
the bill in fact the conditions la
boih thv senate and house are over-

wnnon for which ho charges ono Sam

FORAKER IN
DILEMMA
MAY OE COMPELLED TO AOAN
DON HI8 AMENDMENT.
Motion May De Made In the Statehood
Issue to Kill All Reference In the
Bill to Arizona and New Mex
Ico Speakers Stand.
WnnMngtou March 7 Since Sena
tor Spooner delivered hlimwlf against
the omnibus statehood bill this after
noon tho question bolnj: debated la
not whctlier the Foraker amendmont
urovldlng that New Mexico and Arl
zona shall vote seiwrntely will bo
adopted but whether a motion to
strike out all that part ot the bill re
lating In those two territories will not
Irovnll.
Tho first named Is undoubtedly the
stronger proposition because It loaves
New Mexico and Arizona to dctortulao
whether they desire Btntehood as oue.
whereas a motion to- strike out of tho
bill all reference to thoso territories
refers the question to the future and
gives Arizona nnu Now Mexico no oo-
tlou. Yet tho opposition to statehood
for New Mexico nnd Arizona Is so
strong Hint it is believed the weaker
proposition will carry. If Senator
Fornker should bo convinced of that
Friday afternoon ho will movo sop-
nrntlon; It he should ho In doubt ho
will present tlfo stronger proposition
the referendum nmcndmunL Thai
will bo adopted beyond peradventuro
and the question with which Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory would have
to concern themselves 'would ho ns
to tho course of tho house.
Or. It would bo more accurately to
say Uio course of the speaker for
the house Is overwhelmingly In favor
of statehood for Oklahoma and ludlau
Territory and tho speaker Is opposed
The spoaker threatens to send Uio
amended bill to the commlttco on tor-
rltnrieo. Thero his Influence Is suill
dent to keep it In retirement indor-
inlloly. Hut tho only parllnmcutnrj
pretext on which ho could resort to
the expedient would como only in tho
event tho sonato should change somo
of tho appropriations which Uio bill
carries. Tho friends of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory therefore will
resist In the scn-ito nny amendments
or this kind so that tho bill could go
back to tho houso with- tm rights of
a conference report which must bo
submitted directly to the houso.
If they should fait In tho effort to
prevent amendments ot this kind
and tho speaker should got a pretext
to bury it in commlttco thero will bo
ways to bring hint around. Tho sen-
ute hns passed on nono ot tho appro-
priation bills yet. Tho stntohood bill
so far as It relates to Oklahoma and
Indian Territory could bo attached (o
ono of thoso bills as a rider for hav-
ing already passed that body it would
not bo subject to tho parliamentary
objection thnt It Is "now legislation."
It will bo soon therefore that the
fight for Oklahoma and Indian Torrt
tory hns resolved Itsolf largely Into i
matter of parliamentary strategy and
that the speaker In very much at dis-
advantage For theso reasons there-
Is ahundnnt warrant for repeating a
statement mado several nights ago
that statehood for Indian Territory
nnd Oklahoma Is almost certain.
