RADICAL MEASURES PROBABLE.
Indian Lobby at Work The Dawes
Commission Advise Speedy
Legislation.

A strong and active lobby is at
work against proposed reforms in
the Indian Territory. The indica-
tions are that their efforts will be
futile, and that soon after the hol-
idays both houses of congress will
take hold of the Indian question
in earnest. and reach a settlement
of the complications.
Today the lobby caused TO be in
troduced in both houses a bill to
repeal sections in the Indian ap-
preparation bill extending juris-
diction of the federal courts in In
dian Territory to all cases, civil
and criminal, after January /.
The members presenting the bill
in both houses took pains to state
that it was "by request" They
will make no effort to secure its
consideration. There is no posi-
bility of action upon it.
The senate today requested the
house to return the bill (No. 2365)
that it passed lately. providing for
the extension of time to June l.,
while the agreement between the
Dawes commission and the five
tribes was pending. Senator Jones

The COMMISSIONERS VIEW.
Congress Should Put an End to Tribal
Government Without Delay.

"The time has passed for hu,
moring the Indians of the five
civilized tribes. For congress to
longer postpone such action as is
necessary to bring about a reform
in the conditions now prevailing
in the Indian Territory would be
almost criminal
These were the words used by
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones when asked for the impres.
sions he had received during his
visit to the Indian Territory.
"Tke government has got to
take hold of the problem in the
Indian Territory and settle it, |"
said the commissioner. 'Delay
means only an increase of Difficult
ties. 1t is not worth while con-
sulting the Indians; they have
been given ample opportunity to
treat with the Dawes commission
and they have refused TO do so.
The only thing for congress to do,
is to make fair and
settlement. There are
now in the territory over 100000
whites. They are there upon the
of the Indians them
selves. They have made improve
ments which are worth millions of
dollars. To talk about ejecting
them as intruders and confiscating
their property is nonsense. Un-
der the tribal system of govern
ment which now prevails there
Is no way in which taxes can be
raised for school purposes, or for

WOMEN COUNTERFEITERS.
Every Gang Ever Arrested Had n
Least One Female Member.

Every Gang Ever Arrested Had at
Least One Female Member.
Women have weakness for counter
feiting. The first person ever executed
for that crime was woman She was
an English woman named Barbara
Spencer, and was put to death in 1921
for making false shillings. She was
strangled and burned at the stake. Gu
riously enough, her accomplices were
acquitted.
Nancy Kidd was one of the most re-
markable female counterfeiters' ever
known in this country. She carried on
her nefarious trade for more than 30
years in Chicago, and was arrested there
many times. On one of these occa-
sions lot of fiber paper was discovered
on her person.
The government officials were com
pletely at loss to know how she had
obtained this. Finally she confessed
that a chemical solution had been used
to wash the faces of the notes and make
them perfectly clean. Thus she was
in the habit of taking one-dollar bills
and changing them into large denomi-
nations.
One of the cleverest tricks ever played
on Uncle Sam was invented by woman
who lived in Philadelphia. Her plan
was to take $40 and $50 gold pieces,
and with small drill worked by
steam power to bore out the insides
and then refill them with some base
metal, being very careful that they
should weigh exactly the right amount
when she had finished.
In this way she made $3.50 on every
eagle and about SIC on every double
eagle.
Women teach their husbands how TO
make false money. This is what hap
pened when Ben Boyd married Mary
Ackerman, of Indiana. Her father was
one of the most successful counterfeit
ers of his day, and his daughter had
thorough acquaintance with the art.
Mrs. Boyd carefully taught her hus-
band all the secrets of the trade, and
he became one of the most famous forg-
ers of the age.
They carried on the business with such
a high degree of skill that they were not
captured for years, and, when at last
the secret service Hawkshaws did run
them down, not a single counterfeit
plate, note or coin was found in their
possession. When their house was
searched $4,000 in good money was
found.
Afterward sufficient evidence was Sc
cured to convict them and they were
sent to prison. They both claimed 10 be
converted while in state prison, and
after their release settled in Chicago,
where they apparently lived an honest
life.
Practically every gang Of counterfeit
ers ever arrested has had women as
sociates In the Office of the secret serv-
ice in Washington there is a large
frame four feet square, filed with the
photographs of women who have either
made or passed false money. Men al
most always employ their wives or
daughters for the purpose of Showing"
their counterfeits.-Washin Post

ment. Mr.. Dawes said that of 600
Chickasaws, only 800 voted on the
agreement. He asserted that if
the whole number had voted, the
agreement would have been carried
and allotments completed. The
vote was IS Chickasaws for and
1877 against ratification. Mr.. Dawes
said that he had not signed the
agreement, although other mem
bers of the commission did so. He
explained that under it, in his
opinion, all the Cboctaw freedmen
would not receive the privileges 10
which they were entitled by treaty,
as to 40 acres of land, and gave as
another reason that congress a year
ago passed an act requiring the
commission TO ascertain whether or
not the Mississippi Choctaws were
entitled to an equal share In the
lands of the Choctaws. There had
been no friction in the commission,
he said. Four members had signed
the agreement, holding that it was
a step in the right direction. They
thought, even with the two objec-
tions named by Mr.. Dawes, that
the agreement possessed many
points of value and should be rat
flied.
Commissioner Bixby said that
the full -blooded chiefs and infiuen-
tial men in the Chickasaw nation
were against the agreement. The
were ready to ratify,
but the Creeks would not listen to
any suggestions of the kind. The
work of enrolment, he said, had
proceeded steadily, and he thought
it would be completed in about

city Improvements. The result is
that a number OF flourishing towns
nave streets which are no better
tnan country roads, and the child
rem are growing up in ignorance.
MY plan would be this: Give
each Indian 160 acres of land and
then take the remaining lands tn
create a surplus from which the
values of all the holdings of the
Indians could be equalized. 1t is
clear that to pick out 160 acres of
land Tor each Indian and Eave
each allotment of equal value
would be impossible, and there
lore, 10 make the allotment fair,
some such suggestion as | make
ought to be adopted. The town
sites ought to be sold at fair val
ue. 1t would be unjust to make
the hcl1ers pay the present actual
value for their sites, for the reason
that they themselves, by their i'm
provements, created that value.
The coal lands, think, should be
leased by the government for the
benefit of the Indians, and the
funds thus derived be set aside as
a school fund for the education of
the Indian children"
Commissioner Jones says that
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dians are in a bad way. They are
living on their allotments of 100
acres each, but the land which
some of the Indians have is so
poor that even a white man could
not make living on it. The XII
owas and Comanches are doing
fairly well, but some OF them are
still living in tepees. The Usage

The commissioners will appear

Commissioner Armstrong made
statement practically indorsine
what Mr.. Dawes said. He insisted
that the United States courts should
have jurisdiction over the territory
from the 1st of January, as this
would bring the five tribes to real
ize how badly they had admins
tered justice. He pictured the
condition of the people there under
existing laws and recited the vote
by counties in the Chickasaw na-
ton. He showed that in only one
(POntiac) was there a decided sem
timent against accepting the agree
ment. In this county are many
fullbloods, which explains the
vote of 9 for and 131 against. In
other counties in the Chickasaw
nation the vote was 10 for and Is
against, 81 for and % against and
20 for and "a against.
The commissioners admit that it
is impossible to complete the agree
ment. They believe that imme-
diate legislation is necessary. 1t
was suggested that the government
invite the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws to send a selected commission
here. and perhaps better progress
could be made in negotiations in
Washington. The tribal law per-
mits the Choctaws to ratiiy an
in council, while the
Chickasaws must not only ratify it
there, but submit it to a popular
vote also. The commissioners
spoke with enthusiasm of the beau
tiful and thickly populated Indian
Territory, and hoped soon that it
would be brought to full realization

of Arkansas stated that the Chick
asaws have rejected the agreement,
and therefore the senate should re.
consider its vote upon this bill.
This was done, and the senate
ordered the bill postponed indefi-
nitely.
1t is settled, therefore, that jan
uary 1 the federal courts in the
Indian Territory shall have jurisdic
tion over all cases there, as pro-
vided in the last Indian appropria-
tion bill.
The members of both houses are
impatient with the complications
in the Indian Territory. 1t is GER
tain that important legislation will
be enacted this winter and that a
much better form of government
will be established. with certain
and simple execution of the laws
of the United States throughout
the territory.
The house committee on Indian
afalrs this morning gave a long
hearing to members of the Dawes
commission and Commissioner
Jones of Indian affairs. All the
members of the committee were
present, and there was unanimous
agreement that some sweeping
Legislation is needed Immediately
to correct evils in the Indian Terri
tory.
Chairman Dawes spoke at length,
reviewing the work of his commits
sion. He cited the readiness with
which the Choctaws had accepted
the agreement, and the trouble en-
countered with the Chickasaws,
giving the vote by which the latter
had refused to ratify the agree

Indians, Commissioner Jones saws.

Indians, Commissioner Jones says,
are worse off now, as far as ad.
vancement in civilization is con.
cerned, than they we're ten years
ago. The reason, he says, is that
they have too much money. They
are the richest people in the
world.
The better class of Indians in
the territory, Commissioner Jones
asserts, are in favor OF a change
in existing conditions. There are
in all of the five tribes certain
men who, through natural shrewd-
ness and because of superior edu-
cation, are able to take advantage
of the less favored, and this they
have been doing so sbamelessly
that some of them have become
rich.
Assistant Secretary of the In
terror Ryan expressed similar
views to those held by Commits
sioner Jones on the Indian Terri
tory situation.
