Indian Wives Are Expensive.
CAtlantq ConstitutionD


The Chickasaw Indian Legislature has
Just passed q law raising the price Of
marriage licenses 20 white men about 10
espOuse Indian maldens from so 20 500.
The imposition OF this high tariff on the
connubial state IN the territory brings
70 light a peculiar condition. For some
years white men have been marrying
into the tribe, until now there are 5000
half and quarter-breeds and white nus
bands, and only 1000 pure-blooded IN
dams. TO any self-respectng red man,
who values the preservation Of his racial
purity. and who shreWdly sees In the
tactics Of the paleface an effort 10 get
hold 81 the 5000 worth OF tribal property
which comes 10 nearly every Chickasaw
girl such n state OF affairs must be
truly humliating. At this rate, IL would
not be long before the Indian nations
would be obliterated. and in their place
would grow a mongrel breed. which as
Is the case in hybrds. would absorb all
the bad and none OF the good properties
OF the superior race.
Viewed from this standpoint. the course
Of tho Chickasaw Legislature is highly
commendable. IT Is 20 be doubted. how
ever. il a 500 restriction will hold back
an enIerprlslng white man, wnere 5000
and love for a copper-cOlored hOuri weigh
down the balance on the other side.

EASTERN CAPITALISTS
Rumored That Large Investments Will
Shortly be Made at Alexander City

Alexander City, April A.-(Special)-It ID
now buzzing rumor that large invest
ments In Alexander City real estate will
soon be made by a party of eastern capi-
talists.
Options some of. the most desirable
city property have been secured by inter-
ested parties. and the report has gained cur
rency that the men who are seeking profita-
BILE investments will be on the ground in
a few weeks to close the deal.
The fact that Alexander City is desirably
located for a factory town has special at
traction for the far-seeing investment
seeker 1t is the hub of a large agricul-
tural section, the leading market in the
cotton belt of East Alabama, the head
quarters of the gold mining industry, and is
in very close proximity to vast water power,
which, If harnessed by electricity, will Of
ford ample motive power for all the manu-
featuring plants.
Governor Johnston's far-fetched idea of
his increasing CD greatness is developing
a distinct anti-Johnston sentiment in East
Alabama His call for an extra session of
the legislature is regarded as a direct blow
at the vitals of the old party that has
twice honored him with the highest politi-
cal station within its gift.
The populists met at Dadeville Saturday
and nominated E. B. Langley, Of the east
side of the Tallapoosa, and D. r. Meadows,
or the west side, for delegates to the con-
stitutional convention. The leaders are
tickled to death over the action of Cover
nor Johnston. Following is the language
of their county organ, the Tallapoosa New
Era: I'VE populists made Johnston COVER
nor by voting for him in the democratic
primary, and will now make him United
States senator We have the votes, John
ston has the brains. and we hill county
'Hill-Billies' and bulldogs will leg for him
like grim death"
Alexander City's telephone system is now
complete.

BECOMING STRAINED.
Situation in Arkansas Coal Mining Dis
tricts Growing Worse.

Little Rock, Ark, April A.-The situation
in the coal mining strike in the western
part of this state which has been on for
three weeks is becoming badly strained. At
some places small riots have already oc-
Cured Some 5000 miners are on strike in
Arkansas and the Indian Territory, and tho
mines are now practically at a standstill
Information has been received that the
coal field is to be flooded with negroes from
North Carolina. Judge Rogers, of the Unit
ed States court at Fort Smith, has issued
an injunction restraining miners and others
from interfering with any one desiring to
work the mines, and Goveror Jones has is
sued a counter order declaring that the
peace of the state demands the exclusion of
the negroes and authorizing the sheriff of
Sebastian county to prevent their landing
in Arkansas The governor declares that
while 1t is necessary the mines should be
worked, 1t is more important the peace of
the state be preserved, and declares he will
employ every power he possesses to that

THE LEVEE BREAKS
NEAR RACELAND
Many Hundreds of Acres of Rich
Farm Lands Inundated.
REFlNERlES TO SHUT DOWN
No Attempt is Being Made to Close
the Crevasse Efforts Being Made
to Save Live Stock, Poultry
and Movables.
REFlNERlES TO SHUT DOWN

Raceland La, April 2i-What was
thought to be the inevitable has happened.
Notwithstanding strenuous efforts by the
people of the La Fourche valley, the levee
gave way this morning at about 1 o'clock
at point five miles below Raceland, La,
on the left descending bank of Bayou La
Fourche, ON the upper confine of the Clio
tilda plantation of Barker & LIE Blanc.
The bank quickly widened. and at break
of day is a disastrous crevasse, pouring
the murky waters of the bayou over some
of the richest plantations, inundating hun
dreds of acres of cane and corn, and
stretching it's grasp in all directions.
Within a radius of five miles are to be
found the Georgia plantation of Charles S.
Mathews; Clotilda plantation of Barker &
LIE Blanc; Ravenswood plantation, of s.
Bourg; Mcleod plantation of Major Clargo;
Golden Ranch plantation of Gheens Bros. !;
Home plantation of Simon Abraham, and
ell the settlement in the Vacherie, Livau-
dals Prugue, in the immediate rear. These
will suffer a total loss of all crops.
The Mary, Raceland, Utopia and Upper
Ten plantations, of Leon Godchaux, five
miles above, are protected by side and
back levees.
AS a result of this break the waters of
bayou La Fouche have fallen three feet In
twelve house. No attempt is being made to
close the crevasse. although labor and
material will be plentiful should an oppor-
tunity arise to make the attempt.
This calamity, unless something unfore-
seen happens, will necessitate the shutting
down of four refneries during the coming
season, and this, with the loss entailed, will
be a great drawback to that otherwise rich
section.
Today all the efforts of the neighbors are
being bent towards the saving of stock,
poultry and movables of the unfortunates
whose homes are being overlooked.

THE MAZET BOARD
TAKES A RECESS
Committee Adj
iourns Until May 9.
RICHARD CROKER EXCUSED
Will Not be Wanted Until August 20
Ind in the Meantime Will Take
Trip to Europe-Police-
men Examined.

New York, April A.-Today's session of
the Mazet investigating commission proved
far less interesting than any previous sit
ting. The day was entirely devoted to
probing the various benevolent and other
societies which are supported solely 10y
members of the police force.
All the witnesses called today were
policemen of various grades. At the con-
clusion of the single session, which was
long and uninteresting, Chairman Mazet an
nounced that the commission will not meet
until May 9, by which time it is expected
that the investigating body will have pre-
scented a preliminary report to the legisla-
ture.
Richard Croker was excused until August
g. Mr. Croker will make a visit to Europe
in the meantime.
Sergeant Tins, of the police force, denied
that he had ever heard anybody say that
1t was better to pay tho assessment to the
Sergeants' Benevolent association than to
be transferred.
Roundsman Thomas f. Gilhooley was
called. He said the roundsmen at a meet
ing appointed committee to call on Chief
DeVery to try to get an increase in salo-
ries. Chief Devery told them it was a bad
time to try to get such an increase.
Gilhooley had never heard that rounds
men were expected to pay SIS, sergeants $25
and captains $50 toward a political or other
fund. He had not heard that the patrol
men had Kicked and said they would not
pay SIS because the bills did not affect
them"
Mr.. Moss then addressed the committee
saying that inspector had been sent
from police headquarters to protest against
the confinement of police officers who
had been subpoenaed. Mr.. Moss stated
that the police witness had been put IL a
separate room for their own comfort, and
there had been no idea of combining them.
Chairman Mazet then announced that the

THE ATHLETES
Captains Elected by Summer Basket
Ball Teams

The meeting of the basket ball teams,
which was announced Sunday morning, was
held last night in the rooms of the Biz
mingham Athletic Club. All of the men
who intend playing on the teams were
present, and the meeting was a very en-
thusiastic one.
The following men were elected captains
of their respective teams: H. T. Dean,
captain of team "A;' Ed Warren, captain
of team "B;" Dan McDonough; captain of
team "C;" e. Redd, captain of team I'D"
The boys will at once go to work prac-
ticing, and the outdoor games will COM
mence with a contest between "a" and
''B' in the tennis court next Friday night,
April 2S.
Though the idea of having summer basket
ball games is somewhat out of the ordina-
ry, the players intend to make them even
more popular than the ones played during
the winter in the gymnasium of the Ath-
letic Club.
