TO RE INVESTIGATED.
WASHINGTON. April26 .-Immediately upon
receipt OF the press reports that the Govern
ment officials and others temporarily IN the
Governments employ IN oklahoma had used
their authority a. such officials TO secure
prior rights IN the lAnCs IN the Territory in
disregard Of the rights Of others, the presi.
dent and Secretary Noble ieerrAphed the
special agents Of the department, nov In the
Territory, 10 make q thorough and prompt
Investigation OF the facts In lbe case, aDd
upon its completion to immediately notify
the Secretary Of their findings. The report
~ u ptcNcu curing lDlS week. IN speaking
OF the matter to>day Secretary Noble said
that not the least shadow Of injustice Ia the
settlers IN Oklahoma would be tolerated for
a moment, aud tha,as soon as the facts in the
case could be ascerlautd, II the officials
were found 10 have heen implicated in any
attempted Injustice or wrong-doirg the ac-
ton OF the Government in the matter would
be very prompt and decisive.
Commissioned StOckslsger. OF the General
Lsnd'Ofice, to-day said that from the pres.
ent indications the contest over the land
claims in Oklahoma would ultimately involve
nearly every quarter section OF land IN that
Territory. This being the case no thought
II probable that the department would make
the Oklahoma contest cases separate class
and dispose az them - once. Otherwise, in
the ordinary course OF business, n would
likely be eighteen months or two years be-.
fore they could be reached. The contests
In which the abandonment Is charged could
not be passed upon until after the eXpiIa-
ton OF SIX months, a. the law does not re-
cognize the separation OF a clam for a
shorter period than six months rs an ahan-
Comment. But the cases in which fraud or
violation Of the law or the Presidents pro-
camstion in going into the Territory prior
to April I'D could be tried and disposed OF
ut once.
