LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 25.-An In
dian territory special says: The senate
committee on Indian affairs has arrived and
their visit is creating great interest. They
began their work at hIuSkogee, Greek ma
ton. The most important question, other
than the sale OF Oklahoma and the Chero-
kee strip, will be that of citizenship. The
Indians claim that their territory is being
overrun by whites claiming Indian blood.
Many hundreds have been de-
cided intruders and ordered to
leave, but the interior department has in
terfered and prevented their ejectment. The
proposed sale or lease of the western por-
tion of their territory is being warmly dis
cussed. An outright sale is generally op-
posed, but its advocates claim it is gaining
ground in the Cherokee nation. There is a
wide diversity of opinion, and communi-
cation signed by many leading Cherokees
has been sent to the president asking
that he defer sending the special commit
tee who will negotiate for the pur-
chase of the reservation until
after the election of the new legislature in
August. so that the measure can be brought
before the people and deliberated on during
the campaign. Although there is no de-
cided stand yet taken by the leaders of the
five tribes who must unite on decision,
the opinion prevails that Bushy Head,
principal chief of the Cherokees, and j. NJ.
Perrman, chief of the Creeks, favor SALE
McCurtin, governor of the Choctaws, is also
said to be in sympathy with the move to
dispose of the lands.

be. but this is as clear a. case of murder as

They laughed when he told them of this
mode of escape, and said they could easily
get olt that way. He had not spoken to the
recently Unemployed girls about this escape.
Even if the ladder was not there the girls
could have piled up books and paper and
easily have reached the roof His brother,
who ran to the fifth floor, escaped that way.
In the other part of the fifth floor was a
skylight leading to the roof. The inquest
is not vet ended. Some feeling has been
aroused by statements that the telegraph
and telephone wires prevented the putting
up OF ladders in time to save life, and at a
meeting of citizens one of the speakers IA
vored giving the companies thirty days to
put the wires under the ground. and offered
to lead crowd to cut down the poles If 1t
was not done. Chief Fire Engineer Wisby
says those lives could not have been saved
by ladders if there had been no wires on the
street. Death came too soon after the ben
zine fire started, as before stated.

more than two months before

Speaking of the efforts to get out of the

that we will come out just even at the end
of the fiscal year. If can

of each month will be made propOrtionate
to the total expenses of the year, and will
be kept within those limits. The salaries
of the employees of the bureau outside

be reduced in order to

beside this, each division will have to be so
conducted as to pay for the employees in

Lumber Matters.

SpeCfal 70 the GfoBe.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 25.-The rains
of last week had more effect on the logging
streams in this part of the state than
was expected. Over three feet of a.
rise was shown in the Eau Claire
and Black rivers, while the Chippewa came
up proportionately. The Eau Claire and
Northwestern Lumbering companies, that
virtually control logging operations
on the Eau Claire, took adj
vantage of the rise and sent crew
of over 100 to start the hung-up drives.
Their work was complete success, having
drove in the five-mile dam on that river five
million feet, where they will be harbored
until required for manufacture. This
teaves some 1900, 900 Of old and new logs
aack on the river all of which are widely
scattered. The success of this last
drive will afford plenty of stock
to keep the mills Of Eau Claire
bo d Northwestern companies running
lntheir full capacity till late in the fall.
A marked activity prevails in the lumber;

lumber cars on any Of the roads are not tooi
plenty to fill the demand.

called the cicada, has only beak through
