its good luck largely to the fact

the necessity Of making individual
contracts with all OF the citizens
who have made application for
allotments. This is being pressed
by representatives OF the cattle
men and is meeting some favor.
Another demand OF the COM
mittee which relates to both treat
les and which il being bitterly
fought by the representatives of
the two nations is that relating to
the construction Of public high
ways around each section of land.
The committee insist that there
should be public highways around
each GAO acre tract. The delega-
tions are opposing this upon the
ground that these highways are
not necessary at the present time
and will consume a great deal Of
valuable land which will not re-
salt in any real benefit to the peo-
pie. tits contended, on the 9th
er hand, that sooner or latter, as
Indian Territory increases in pop
ulation these highways must be
opened up and the proper time to
do this ia now.
Another question which is being
strongly opposed by the Cherokees
is the demand Of the committee
that a provision be inserted in the
Cherokee treaty makingit manda-
tory that as soon as the treaty is
ratified Chief Burlington must sign
and deliver to those citizens of the
nation, who have made application
for land, deeds to their allotments.
This, it is insisted by members Of
the committee, would greatly
expedite the work in the nation
and assist in putting the Territory
in condition for territorial govern

RADICAL OPPOSITION.
Congress viii Not Subscribe
to the Exactions OF the
Indians.

MuskOgee Times
Washington, D. c., March g.
Indian Territory has been well
represented at the national capital
during the past week. Special
Agent Wright. United States At
torney Pliny Soper, Special Agent
zevely. Chief Burlington Of The
Cherokees and Gov. Porter of the
Creeks, accompanied by delega-
tions, as well as large delegation
from the Choctaw nation, have
been in the city.
Mr.. Soper's visit to Washington
related to matters pending before
the department Of justice and fed
eral appointments In the territory
From the appointments recently
announced il ii evident that ma
tional committeeman Leo Bennett
and Mr.. Soper still retain their
control Of government appoint
ments in the Indian Territory.
Special Agent Wright is here at
the request Of. The secretary Of the
interior To furnish information for
the benefit of the department in
matters pertaining % lheterritory,
as well as 10 give the Indian COM
mitlees Of the ivo houses the bsne-
ft of his knowledge Of affairs in the
territory With relation to the pend
ing Cherokee and Greek treaties.
II Is nbw evident that these treat
les will not have clear sailing in
congress. There will be opposi-
ton to them all along the line.
The members Of the committee on
Indian affairs Of the house, who
have been devoting considerable
time to the consideration OF the
two treaties, have demanded GER
tain notifications which the rep
resentaiiyes Of the tribes refuse to
accede to. One of the knotty
problems in connection with the
Creek treaty is the question OF
control of school funds. Hereto
fore the nation has had complete
control OF this matter, but now
congress proposes to take It out OF
their hands and place it under the
control Of the general government
Gov. Porter is resisting this al
every point. He insists that The
Creek nation is better qualified TO
control its school system than is
the federal government through It's
officials in the territory. He says
that to turn 6his over to the gov
eminent would be an admission OF
weakness on the part of the people
Of the Creek nation of incompe-
tency, which he repudiates in the
strongest language.
Another embarrassing question
which is not included in the treaty.

is the proposition Of inserting

REV, FATHER GARVEY
FOR TEMPERANCE
Pastor of st. Johns Church Advises
His Parishioners to Attend Non
Beer Selling Picnics.

Special TO the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Aug. 1S.--Very Reverend
Eugene Garvey, of st. Johns Ro-
man Catholic church of this city,
has taken a decided stand in the III
terest of temperance. In his sermon
last Sunday he made some very force
full remarks against intemperance,
condemning the sale Of intoXicants at
picnics and excursions. At the three
masses this morning the reverend
father reiterated his last Sundays re-
marks, and referred especially to an
excursion TO be run to Lake Ariel next
Thursday by the Henry Grattan soci-
ETY.. Father Garvey said he was sur
prised to learn that the society in
tended to have beer on sale, notwith-
standing his objections to such action
by societies of st. Johns parish. He
advised his parishioners to attend only
non-beer selling excursions and sug-
gested that the Henry Grattan soci-
ETY. should advertise in the press wheth-
er or not intoxicants would be placed
on sale.
He said he expected to be in Hawley
on Wednesday. and would pay a visit
TO the Lake Ariel picnic grounds on
Thursday. The action of the Mems
union of Scranton in clearing the town
Of speakeasies and Sunday beer sellers
was commended and the hope ex-
pressed that their influence would ex-
tend to Pittston.
Father Garvey's remarks today were
clear and to the point and were favor
ably commented upon by a majority
of the congregation, although the
members of the Henry Grattan soci-
ETY. are inclined to feel rather dissat-
isfied,

OLD MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.
Letter Written by Gen. B. F. Butler
EXPLAINS a Crime.

Manchester, n. H., Aug. 19.-The Mirror last
night published what is believed to be a solu.
ton Of what has been known as the Parker
murder mystery"
Jonas L. Parker, tax collector Of Manchester,
was murdered in 1915, after being enticed from
his house, and $1,000 was taken from him.
His throat had been cut with a razor.
According to Nathaniel p. Ames, Of Medford,
Mass, a resident OF this city at the time Of
the murder, who has a letter written by
General b. F. Butler, one Of Psrker's murderers
was Daniel Pierson, executed in 1s40 for the muir
der Of n family in Wilmington, Mass. Mr.. Ames
states that Pierson, who was defended by Gen.
eral Butler confessed that he also killed the
Manchester man, at the instigation Of a person
who desired Parker put out Of the way in re-.
venge for some wrong. The identity Of this
person was never revealed.
Three Wentworth brothers, hotel proprietors OF
Saco, Me-, were arrested for the Parker murder
Franklin Pierce, afterward president Of the
United States, was one OF those who defended
the prisoners, and they were acquitted.
