NOT FIGHTING BURTON.
Interior Department Considering
Chickasaw Attorney Bell on Merits.

Washington, D. c, Dec. 15.-The in
terror department has now before it for
consideration a law passed recently by
the Chickasaw council, providing for
the employment of an attorney at $1,000
per annum to represent the interests
of the Chickasaws in all legislation af-
fecting them which might come up be
fore the present congress. At the time
the law was passed it was generally
understood that J. r. Burton, of Kan
sas, was to be selected by the Chicka-
saws as their attorney. Assistant Sec
reJary of the Interior Ryan. when ask
ed today whether or not Mr.. Burton
would receive the appointment, said
Mr.. Burton is not being considered
by the department. All the department
viii do is to pass upon the bill and de-
termine whether or not it is a good bill.
Mr.. Burton is not mentioned in the bill.
1t simply provides for the employment
of an attorney. I have heard that Mr..
Burton was to be appointed under it
if it became a law. but the department
has nothing to do about that and all
talk about fight on Mr.. Burton is
nonsense. The department viii consider
the bill on its merits without regard
to Mr.. Burton
