WANT STATEHOOD
Desired by the Better Class of In
dams in the Territory.
THE TELLER COMMITTEE
A Sad Condition Exists I'm the Territory
and New Form OF Government
Is Needed for the Red Men.

Senator Teller, as chairman of the
select committee which recently visited
Indian Territory for the purpose of in
curling into the condition of that sec.
tion,of the country and of suggesting
any needed legislation, expects to make
his report this week. He has not yet
indicated what 1t will be, but 1t Is
learned indirectly that 1t will portray a
sad state of affairs as existing among
the Indians of the five civilized tribes.
In all probability it will recommend
that the government give immediate at.
tention to the matter.
The report is expected to present an
exhaustive argument in favor of con-
gress taking some steps to change the
political conditions now existing in the
territory and to bring the Indians into
a closer relation to the government
Under the present system the Indians
have sort OF government of their own
which is neither tribal nor territorial,
and the result is endless confusion,
since more than half of the population
Is made up of white people, who, under
the law, are intruders, even though
they are engaged In business there.
They can not own real estate, nor do
they have the same rights in the local
courts in the event OF litigation as do
the native citizens.
bin is now pending in congress to
extend the jurisdiction of the United
States courts In the territory, and an
other measure proposes an abandon
ment of the tribal relation and the
establishment of territorial govern
ment. The latter measure proposes
also to invest the title to the
lands in the individual Indian, the
Ex-senator Dawes Of Massachusetts, is
the chairman of a commission which has
been negotiating for some time with
these Indians with view to inducing
them to allot their lands in severalty
and abandon the tribal relation, but 1t
has failed up to date. The first propo-
sition submitted BY the commission has
been rejected and the Indians are now
considering a second one.
Mr.. Teller's committee will make a
report this week which may include
some valuable suggestions, but the
Colorado senator explains that he and
his colleagues, who were In the terri
tory only couple of weeks, did not
have time enough TO study the situation
In all its phases. He will probably ask
permission to make another trip and
continue the Investigations Many of
the leading Indians recognize that the
time has come to inaugurate radical
change In the government of the five
tribes and the more progressive natives
believe that statehood for their terri
tory would be the best solution of the
problem. The Influence of higher and
more progressive civilization than now
exists In tho territory is demanded and
they feel that change must come soon

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 12.-Warrants
were issued yesterday In Justice
Austin's court for the arrest of DR..
Hugo Myer, the celebrated prisoner
who Is now on trial IN New York. One

when Meyer got horse from BaldwIn's
barns with which to escape to Detroit,
and the murder is that of the unknown
young woman who came here with the
family as Meyers wife. The girl was
picked up In indianapolis and her

rants is to catch Meyer In case he is
