KIOWA AND COMANCHE
Flynn's q Indian Land Bill Passes
the House

Washington, Feb, 1S-Under a sus-
pension of the rules, the house to-day
passed the Flynn bill supplementing
the existing laws relating to the dis
position of the lands in the Wichita
and the Comanche and Kiowa reser-
vations. Some minor amendments
were made in the bill, which, however,
do not materially affect the provi-
sions as reported from the committee
on public lands 1t directs the presi
dent to subdivied the lands ceded by
theWichita and Comanche Kiowa and
Apache Indians into counties and also
to designate the place for the county
seat of each county and to set aside a
reservation at each county seat of 800
acres of land, which shall, in advance
of the opening, be surveyed, subdi-
ded and plated under the direction
Of the interior department into appro-
pirate lots, plots, streets, ETC., so a
to make a townsite thereof. A pro-
vision was inserted as an amendment
that no person shall be permitted to
buy over one business and one resi-
dence lot. Town lots shall be offered
and sold at public auction to the high
est bidder at sales to be held at the
opening and subsequent thereto. The
receipts from the sale of lots in the
respective county seats shall be dis
posed of under the direction of the
interior as follows: A court house at
cost not exceeding $4,000, the re-
sidue to be applied to the construc-
tion of bridges and other public inn
provements as the secretary OF the in
terror shall deem appropriate, in
cluding the payment of all expenses
for the maintenance of the county gov
ernment, until county taxes can becol-
lected in the calendar year succeed
ing the opening. No Indebtedness of
any character shall be contracted or
incurred by any counties prior to the
time for collecting county taxes, eX-
cept where authorized by the secre-
tary.
Section > of the bill is amended SO
as to require the governor, instead oI
the secretary, to appoint county and
township officers under the laws of the
territory, who shall hold Office until
regularly elected officers have quail
fed, The districts and land Offices
in Oklahoma, one to include the ldnds
ceded by the Wichitas, TO be located
at El Reno, and the other lands ceded
by the Kiowas and Comanche Indians
to be located at the county seat near
est Fort Sill--the latter clause being
an amendment to the bill which au
thorized the president to designate
the seat of the land offices.
Section 4 of the bill was stricken
out by the agreement. This provision
qualified persons who had completed
their homestead entries in Oklahoma
to take up new homesteads in tn,
reservations to be opened.
The bill now goes to the senate.

he wanted the body. He said he did.

Collins discussed the matter from
the standpoint Of the Czolgosz family
and said they would surely avoid SER
ious annoyance and possibly violence
by consenting to burial here. He as
sured Waldeck Czolgosz that he and
the family could attend, and that they
would be protected and that the body
would be given decent burial. Czol-
gosz was obdurate, however, and Col
Inns finally told him that If there was
well grounded suspicion as to the
motive In claiming the body he would
refuse to surrender 1t law or no law
| Czolgosz then seemed inclined ia
give in, and went with the Superin-
tendent to the office of Warden Mead
where paper relinquishing all claim
upon the body was drawn up.

Coroner =. O. Leberman has filed his
verdict in the case Of the death Of Geo.
Durant, a Barberton young man,
who died Of pneumonia, and who was
not attended by regular physician.
The verdict follows:
After examining the body and taking
the testimony, find that the deceased
came to his death from pneumonia
and peritonitis. ! find that several
days prior to his death he went to the
house Of an Elder of the Christian AL
lance denomination in Barberton, and
asked him to pray for his restoration
to health. l find that the aforesaid
Elder invited him to remain in his
house and did there annOint and pray
for him after the manner laid down
in the 9th chapter of James. l find
that twenty-four hours prior to his
death, another Elder in the church
took him from the house and walk
ed with him considerable distance,
which exercise, in my opinion was
highly detrimental to the patient. l
am not able to ascertain, nor do 1
believe, that any compensation was
offered by the deceased or received by
the persons under whose care he
placed himself. l can therefore find no
violation of any existing statute re-
garding the practice of medicine. ! do
however find, that the care and treat
ment accorded the young man were
not such as are accepted by the medi-
cal profession as good and careful
treatment, and which would not be
held as such by any court of law had
his death occurred under the super
vision OF regularly licensed prac-
tician. While one may respect the
good intentions and believe the SINGER
ity of this and other allied cults, out
of Justice to those who are legally
qualified to administer to the sick,

The Technical Points of Law We're Not, How

TEN Of healing, but for the good and
welfare of the public whose protection
from the charlatan, the unskilled, the
ignorant and the INSCRIPTIONS was
aimed at 1t can therefore be con-
sidered no abridgement of personal
liberty to insist that the provisions of
such well-intended legislation be car
ried out. The services Of these peo-
pie may be rendered gratuitOusly and
with the full consent and cooperation
of the patient, but the danger of these
unrecognized systems of healing lies
not so much in the sins Of commits
sion as it does in the sins Of omis-
sion. The value Of the true physician
to the public lies not only In his
ability to successfully treat disease,
but in the knowledge which enables
him to advise means for it's preven-
tion. 1t Is in this latter connection
that the so called new schools of heal
ing such as Faith Cure" Christian
Science" "Doweyism" and dozens of
other isms are an absolute menace
to the public welfare. With little or
no knowledge of anatomy or pathology
and an absolute disregard for symp-
tomatology and the rules Of diagnosis,
contagious diseases of all kinds, which
the careful, painstaking study of the
medical profession has reduced by its
insistence of the laws governing COM
municable diseases, to a wonderful
extent, may again through the ignor-
ance of this class attain their former
prevalence and corresponding mortal
ity. The spread Of contagious dis
eases is but one of the evils, which
the public may expect from tolera-
tion of these cults. Diseases Of q
non-contagious type, durable often in
thelr 1nclpiency, are unrecognized or
overlooked until the disease has made
such inroads as to make it no longer
amenable to treatment. Hygienic laws
are disregarded and all that exper
ience and research have taught the
medical profession since the time of
Aesculapius, are often utterly ignored.
1t Is not within the province of this
Office to discuss wherein the errors
only too willing to meet Simms be.
from our intention to detract from
the value of mental impression In the
treatment of disease. "The faith that
heals has been observed by every
physician since the time of Galen.

be doubted by the skeptic and atheist.

reached the prison Supt Collins con-
veyed their request for an interview
to the prisoner Czolgosz sent back
word that he did not care to see them,
but the priests asked to be allowed to
go to him despite his refusal.
Supt. Collins consented, and person
ally escorted them to the cell. The
priests remained with Czolgosz for
three-quarters of IN hour. and earnest
ly pleaded with the prisoner to repent
and pray for divine forgiveness. He
rejected all their advances, however,
and they regretfully withdrew. They
told the prisoner they would hold
themselves ready to answer n call
from him at any hour of the night
1t was Z o'clock when Supt. Collins
went into the death house and tried
to get the prisoner to talk to him.
Although he remained in the cell some
time he was apparently not success
ful in getting anything material from
him.
At = o'clock brother and brother
in-law arrived and Supt. Collins tool,
them down to the condemned mans
cell. There was no demonstration
when they met. Czolgosz merely
stepped to the front of his steel cage
and said: Hello" The brother ven.
tured the remarks: II wish you would
tell MS. Leon. who got you into this
scrape."
The assassin answered In a slow, hes
itating manner, "No one; nobody hat

Czolgosz' conduct last evening was
british.
The approach of death seemed TO
awaken no greater consciousness of
his position. He again turned his back
upon the priests who came to urge HIM
to confess and repent and was undem-
onstrative in the presence of those of
his kin who came to say a last fare
well to him.
When alone with his guards he re-
mained silent and passed the time eli.
ther lying on his bunk or in slowly
pacing up and down the cell. He
talked, when addressed, to those ad-
mltted near his cell, but with his old
deliberaton and slowness. If he felt
strong emotion at any time he was
successful in 'concealing 1t from those
who watched over him.
The prisoner combatted the sugges-
ton that his stolidity was daze of
fear and that the hour OF the execution
would find him helplessly broken down.
