HALF A MILLION CANNOT BE FOUND

The Deficiency Makes the Nation Almost
Bankrupt and Causes Heap Talk
Figures That Hardly Bear Out the Re-
ports, but PLENTY Heap Big''-Books
Shed no Light on the Matter-The Ex-
1reasurer's Denial.
PARIS. Tex, Oct. 12-The McCurtain
shortage which it is said has resched the
enormous figure of $3.50 900, is all the talk
In the Choctaw Nation and on the borders
where the people are interested in Choc-
taw affairs. II is impossible as yet to as
certain the eXact~amount of the late treas
urer's deficit, but it viii run, it is alleged,
from 100000 to $50 600 Whether it is
due to robbery or bad business methods
no one can tell. c. +. Nelson, attorney
general of the Choctaw nation, has figures
to show that it amounts to S334 SEQ, but
others who are also opposed to Green Nc
Curtain officially say that it cannot posi-
bly, reach that amount.
An Explanation That Doesn't Satisfy.
McCurtain only turned over SlO4 900 to
his successor when the amount should
have been S43S 0O. Ii is explained that he
is charged with S4S 900 which was covered
back into the treasury of the United
States for the sale of leased district lands
McCurtain. Governor Jones and Tom
Ainsworth. who were appointed as dele
gates after their party got into power, ap-
propriated 10 per cen. Of the Sl,5O0,0O0 TO
be disbursed among the Choctaws individ-
ually TO themselves, because the delega-
ton appointed under the former admins
tration had been allowed per cent. of the
-, 942, 900 that was TO be paid TO the Choc-
taws and ChickaSaws. This makes $780,
600 more altogether Sl9S, 0OO-that can be
accounted for, but this does not satisfy
the Choctaw people
1t Makes the Nation ''Short."
The expenses of the nation for all pur-
poses are 100000 annually There Is all
told $50 OOJ on hand. This makes the ma
ton short and suspends the schools for
this year unless they borrow money.
Claims are outstanding against the nation
for over S20O,OO0 and the annual revenues
will not exceed $4,000. This makes the
condition serious. Tie National party
wants TO investigate McCurtain's official
conduct, but Governor Jones opposes this
and will not allow it. McCurtain's books
shed no light on matters, but only mysti
flies and confuscs.
