ARDMORE GETS
LAND OFFICE
THE CHICKASAW OFFICE WILL
BE MOVED FROM TISHO-
MINGO.
_ THIS MEANS MUCH FOR ARDMORE
Order Was Made Late Yesterday
Evening—Sidney Suggs and
Mayor Dick Here All Week
—Effective at Once.
Through the efforts of Sidney
Suggs, editor of the Ardmorite, and
R. W. Dick, the mayor of that city,
Ardmore has plucked another plum.
Late yesterday evening an order
was made by the Dawes commission,
whose mefhbers held an executive
session part of the afternoon, to the
effect that the Chickasaw land office
shall be moved from Tishomingo, the
old Chickasaw capital, to Ardmore.
The order will take effect at once
and Ardmore will immediately make
preparations for the move. The
Chickasaw land office Is in charge of
Fred j. Marrs and has a corps of
about thirty clerks and stenograph-
ers. It has been located at Tisho-
mingo since April 15, 1903.
Mr. Suggs stated to a Phoenix
representative last night that the
bulk of the work of the land office
was finished, and he believed Ard-
more was entitled to it from now on.
He says Ardmore has better hotel
accommodations, better railroad
facilities, twelve trains a day going
through the city, and that seventy-
five per cent of the Indian citizens
who went to the Tishomingo office
were compelled to stop at Ardmore
anyway. The amount of value the
land office will be to the town, added
Mr. Suggs, can hardly be estimated.
He and Mayor Dick left Mskogee
last night for home, after having
been here all week.

COMMITTEE ON
RULES TO
MEET
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., Feb. lti. Pres-
ident Roosevelt's message transmit-
ting to the senate the new Dominican
protocol of agreement providing for
the collection of and disbursement by
the United States of the enstotns and
revenue of Santo Domingo for ad-
justment of all obligations of the
government was today made public
by order of the senate In executive
session.
The document includes the now
agreement as well as the original
protocol, and ti e award of the com-
mission of arbitration for settlement
of the claims of the Santo Domingo
Improvement company, under which
agents of the United States are al-
ready collecting revenues at certain
ports, of the Dominican government
The few documents that have come
to the senate in relation to any of
these Central American or West In-
dian republics have attracted much
attention, because of the controversy
that has arisen as to the rights of
the executive to enter into a treaty
arrangement with any foreign gov-
ernment without the advice and con-
sent of the senate, and extraordinary
Interests have been aroused. A doc-
ument came to the senate yesterday
at an hour past the usual time. It
was brought up soon after the senate
convened today. The message of the
President outlined the policy of the
administration in relation to the
Monroe doctrine, holding that it de-
manded this government to take
charge of the customs of American
states when it is manifest that they
are unable to maintain their own in-
tegrity.
In addition to the Prelsdent's dis-
cussion of the Monroe doctrine, the
case of the San Domingo protocol
itself makes a special declaration of
its application and in that respect is
unusual In treaty-making.
A declaration occurs in the second
paragraph which recites that the
government of rhe United States
views "Any attempt on the part of
the governments outside of this hem-
isphere to oppress the destiny of the
Dominican republic as a manifesta-
tion of an unfriendly position to-
wards the United States."
FAMOUS FINANCIER DEAD.
Will Report ReHolution to House
Sending Statehood Bill
To Conference.
Special to Th« Phoenix:
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.— .he
committee on rules will tomorrow
report the resolution to the house
sending the statehood bill to confer-
ence. No decision has yet been
reached as to who the senate con-
ferees will be, though the impression
prevails that the presiding; officer will
appoint two members of the territo-
rial committee favorable to the two
state Idea. This will insure a con-
ference report favorable to the orig-
inal house bill.

Topeka, Kajis, Feb. lfi. To sue-,
cessfully fight the trust within 1U}
borders, a constitutional convention
may be called to broaden the powers
of the Kansas legislature. The bills
striking at trusts, particularly those
dealing with oil, having met with so
many objectlohs on constitutional
grounds that a sentiment in favor of
a new constitution meeting the situ-
ation has sprung up. To this end, a
resolution submitting the question to
a vote on the constitutional conven-
tion in 1900 has been prepared and
will, It is stated, be presented in the
senate shortly.
Governor Hoch has not yet signed
the bill providing for the erection of
a state oil refinery. Along with the
fight on oil, Kansas also is making a
war on those who would pipe gas out
of the state.
In the house today, Holdren's bill
to regulate the mode of procuring
and transporting natural gas, was
passed by a vote of 78 to 32.
Unlike the oil legislation which
seeks to make a market for that
produce, the gas measure Is intended
to restrict the sale of gas. Kansas
wants its gas saved for use In Its own
Industries, and to guard It a protec-
tive association has been formed.
