NON-CITIZEN COMPLAINT
Townsite Matters Discussed
at Washington.

Washington, DC, March IL
The subcommittee of tho senate
committee on Indian affairs to in
vestigate the work of the townsite
boards in the Indian Territory
gave hearing today on the subject.
There were present as representing
the non. citizens Of the Indian
Territory, Hon. M. Fureman,
Judge Stuart, Leo Bennett, Judge
Bradford and E. G.. Toilet. Com
missioner of Indian affairs Jones
Maj. McKennan of the Dawes COM
mission, were also present.
The statements of the representa-
tives Of the non citizen were taken.
They were to the effect that the
laying out oftownsites in the terri
tory was proceeding so slowly that,
at the present rate of progress, the
work would not be completed for
twenty five years. The dilatory
tactics of the boards now operating
in several of the towns OF the terri
tory were expatiated upon. Mr..
Toilet said there were about eighty
towns in the Cherokee nation and
about fifteen In Greek Nation to be
laid out, and there ought to be a
board for each town. Moreover,
he suggested that the town authori
ties ought to be allowed to make
their own surveys This would
hasten the appraisemet. II this
were done the work laying out the
townsites in the Indian Territory
could be completed, it was said by
January l.
Senator Jones suggest that an
amendment permitting the town
authorities to make their own sur
veys be added to the Indian ap-
preparation bill and intimated that
he himself would propose such an
amendment.
Maj. McKennon, of. Dawes COM
mission, corroborated everything
which was said by the representa-
Of the non n-citizens with regard to
the slowness with w h h
the work of laying out townsites In
the territory has been proceeding.
Commissioner Jones said that
the chief reason why the laying
out Of townsites was not being
hasten by the department was that
congress had not made sufficient
appropriation to carry on the work
on as extensive a scale as the non
citizens would like to see. Ifmore
money were allowed, more boards
could be appointed, and the work
would be sooner finished.

VICTORY FOR AUDUB0NITEs.
Merchant Mfllfners' Association
Forced to Sue for Peace.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: '"The milliners of the United
States. it is reported. have surrendered to
the Audubon societies. Word has been re-
ceived in Chicago by Ruthven Deane. pres
ident of the Illinois Audubon Society, that
the Merchant Milliners' Association, which,
he said. controls more than 80 per cent. of
the millinery trade of the country, had
sent out a white flag and was willing to
surrender to the aggressive bird protectors,
provided a few conditions named were
granted. If the directors of the Illinois
society agree, with those of other ~organiza-
lions, to grant what the milliners desire il
will be impossible after a stipulated time
has elapsed for any American woman to
buy any American bird or American
aigrette to stick in her hat. The Chicago
directors of the Audubon Society were jubi-
liant over the surrender of the feather and
dead-bird dealers. Three years ago. the
Audubonites say, the milliners laughed at
the protective society as a fad which would
last but a season. The organization has
been actively at work In all parts of the
country since II was formed, and the mem.
bers say that the milliners have now been
compelled to sue for mercy"

senator's and Their Perquisites.
New York Press.


Five thousand dollars a year is not the
not by a long shot. There are countless
little items thrown In by mutual consent
which makes the statesman's life a jot and
title of perennial satisfaction. The marble
senatorial bath is worth $3.50 a year. Nearly
every senator travels on a railroad pass.
yet the government pays him mileage at
necessary journey to and from the capital.
this sum amounts to 81, 200. Mileage is a
fossil arrangement, introduced long before
railroad passes were KNOWN; when, in fact.
a trip to Washington involved many weeks
and a heavy expense. II is manifestly un-
fair that Mr.. Perkins. of California, should
receive an honorarium of $1,000. while Mr..
McComas, of Maryland. gets only SIS.
A thousand and one little things are the
established. recognized perquisites of the
senator, things which every man ought to
buy with his own hard-earned money.
Why, bless your soul, the government pro-
vides manicure sets for its statesmen.
Pocket knives? All, BY the hundred.
Purses. card cases. pocketbooks. pass cases.
stamp cases. impression books and scissors
are fur nished by wholesale. Some of the
knives cost as much as $40 a dozen. In one
year over forty-six dozen of various grades
were purchased for the use OF ninety sena-
tors, or more than six apiece. One amusing
item is engraving 300 cards, wedding an
nouncement." Whose wedding was this?
All these things are charged to the con-
tingent fund. Why not increase the salary
of a senator TO $4,000 and let him buy his
trinkets?

TO FIGHT GLUCOSE TRUST.
Syrup Manufacturers Will Organize
and Begin War of determination.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: Seventeen Chicago syrup
manufacturing concerns and scores of
syrup makers in other cities, representing
hundreds of thousands of dollars of invest
ed capital, have seen their business almost
destroyed as the result of a war of ex-
termination started against them two
months ago by the Glucose Sugar Refining
Company, now otherwise as the glucose
trust Within the last sixty days, so the
syrup manufacturers say, the glucose trust
has gone into syrup making and has put
up the price of raw products and reduced
the price of syrups to it's customers to such
a degree that the other syrup makers are
unable to do a satisfactory business. Az
fairs of the syrup makers have reached
such a crisis that a meeting of the prin-
cipal manufacturers of the United States,
who are organized into a national syrup
association. has been called in Chicago
early in July to devise some method of
fighting the trust and resuming satisfac-
tory business. In the meantime twelve out
of the seventeen Chicago syrup factories
practically have closed their doors and the
remainder have given up syrup making and
gone into other lines of business"
