CONGRESS IS ASKED
To Grant Limited Sell Govern
ment 5 Now Enjoyed by Othe.
Territories With Proviso
For Maintenance of
Treaty Rights

A Dill providing LOT tsrfitofis
form of government for the Indian
territory has been introduced il
congress by Congressman Moon,
of Tennessee.
The measure contains provision
for the appointments of governor
and territorial secretsry. by .h-
president, and the election Of a
Legislature by the people
The tenn of Office of the ap
pointive officers il four years.
1t proposes the name of "Jeffer
son Territory" with South~~Mc.
Alester as the capitol.
1t also proposes treasurer and
superintendent Of public instruc
ton, to be elected by the joint,
houses of the territorial legisln
ture for period OF two years. The
senate is to have fifteen mem 5trs
and the house thirty three mem
bers. The act specifies explicitly
that none of its terms shall be con-
sidered as interfering in any way
with the terms Of the treaties now
in force with the Indians.
The bill in all other respects is
the same as previous measures for
the establishment of territorial
governments.
The interior department, it is
stated, is supporting the proposi-
tion TO give the territory a partial
self government, but the officials
are not enthusiastic over some OF
the provisions of Congressman
Moons bill.
The secretary will bring the sub
ject 10 the attention OF members OF
the committee on Indian affairs,
and Il is thought that substitute
bill will be later introduced.
Representative Curtis, of Kan
cas-. is in favor of the proposition,
and in referring to it said:
"For some time there has been
a disposition TO await the action OF
congress on the bill introduced by
Delegate Flynn, admitting Okla
homa as a state, but it now seems
likely that if it were passed tn.
new state would not include the
Indian territory, so that the In
dians can hardly expect relief from
that source. OF course, nothing
definite will be agreed upon until
after the Indian committee gel
down TO work, but meanwhils
Secretary Hitchcock and Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs Jones, will
be consulted, and the feeling in
house and senate toward The pro-
jeci ascertained.
The passage of the measure will
be fought by the advocates of state
hood, who recognize in it a con
in large measure, of the
obnoxious appointive government
that they are now existing under.

Helena. April 30.-The trouble at the
East Helena smelter was settled last
night by a compromise, reduction of
wages consequent on the adoption of the
eight hour system. The men had object
ed to the proposed reduction of twenty
per cent for blast furnace men and twelve
per. cent for roasters and wanted a uni
form reduction of ten per cent. Superin-
tendent c. H. Whitley offered reduction
of eleven and one-ninth per cent for blast
furnace men and twelve per cent for
roasters, which was accepted by the
meeting Of 800 workmen.
The settlement was aided by a commit
tee of Helena business men, to whom
Whitley showed a telegram received from
the headquarters Of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company in New York
instructing him to use his own judgment
in settlement and if necessary shut down
the plant indefinitely.

"H00D0'' HARD ON THE TRACK Of
THE TELEPHONE GIRL"

Thursday night. Wallace, Friday night
and MlSsoula Saturday night. Man.
ager Rosentha!l says he is sure there
was no smallpox left in any of the towns.
He says he is sure that Miss Lewis is all
right and that she is simply being held
as matter of form.
The present affliction Of the Telephone
Girl company is only one of many.
While the company was playing at the
Tabor Grand in Denver in February. the
leading lady. Miss Mabel Hight. she who
plays Stella. the real Telephone girl of
the show, met and loved Edwin Ellis
Hamlin. He claimed to be the real
thing and said his father was par,
owner in the big dry goods house OF
Marshall Field & Co.. in Chicago.
He had things slightly twisted. His
father is connected with the firm but
simply as an employee of the blanket de-
partment in the wholesale house. Mabel
Hight believed the smooth tongued youth
and particularly when he exhibited
about $1,000 in hard cash.
Hamlin said nothing Of how he got the
cash except to say rh1t he had sold
mine. That part of it was true The
mine had been given him, so the story
runs, by a capitalist of Denver. His
daughter Miss Louise Martin, Of the
Denver four hundred, was engaged, it
is said to Hamlin and Pa" Martin stalk
ed the youth Of his daughters choice
to mine, 50 that he would have some
thing to go on.
1t was just about this time the ''Tele-
phone Girl struck Denver and coin
cidental with it's advert came the love
of Mabel Hight for Hamlin. The sale
of the mine followed. The figure was
$4,000 though but $4,000 in cash was
paid. With that amount in hand Ham
lin followed the company to Salt Lake
where he and Miss Hight We're made
man and wife.
From Salt Lake the company went to
San Francisco as did Hamlin, as his wife
was still under contract with the COM
pany. He spent all his money, it is said.
and finally was unable to pay his hotel
bill. He is said to have promised to
go to Papa in Chicago and get coin,
and was staked to a railroad ticket He
has never been heard from by his wife
since, she claims.
Long before the Denver episode, when
the company was in Texas, two of the
female members were seriously i'll and
were operated on. Manager Rosenthall
says that while he has played to splen-
did business all through he has had hard
luck. Yesterday afternoon he purchased
a rabbits foot in an endeavor to change
the "hoodoo" combination.

FRANK ALLEY IN TOWN
Progress of His Race For District At

Frank Alley, editor of the Globe

 He says he has no special business in
 the city but as he has recently become an editor instead of newspaper re- porter and lawyer he felt that ne owed 1t to himself to come down to the meet ing of the press association and get acquainted. He knew everybody before, but then he was only an ordinary fel- low citizen, and when man becomes an editor he has to be introduced all over again.
 Incidentally, he thought 1t not bad Idea to take 2 peep at the legislature as most of them are democrats and might need his advice. In case they did he would hate to delay the pro- ceedings while they sent to Globe after him for it's long distance and rail- road connections are not good
 Mir. Alley is a republican candidate for district attorney of Gila county at the next election. He did not say so, neither did he authorize the state ment, but 1t is a well known fact that he has been In the race for four years ana a( llc sdsl Icpoit ht ""o oN'' ing on the office. Two years ago he was distanced completely but his wind is phenomenal and seems to improve with age. Last year he gained several laps around the track and on election day was only eight votes behind He Is not of a disposition to lay down, at least not right in sight of the pie coun- ter. and if he cannot buy eight or nine votes judiciously between now ana next election the newspaper business In Globe must be pretty poor picking. At any rate the margin is close and the usual democratic majority is large It is not improbable that the voters who die in that county in the next two years will in a majority of eases. also be democrats. It is an even gamble, therefore that Alley will win the next heat. But if he don't he is too good- natured to ever kick about 1t.
 Mr. Alley has but one prevailing sin He writes poetry. He Is also some thing of q humorist. but that can be overlooked Bi. Nye, Mark Twain and others have had successful careers even If they did try to be funny but when Alley gets melancholany he IS sure to write verse and the result is something pitiful.
