CAN'T BE
EVADED
Hitchcock Says Claims Can't
be Transferred
Indignant over talk that they
can be put up and Sold
to Highest Bidder
REGISTRATION TOO CLOSE
Five Years Required for Per-
fecting Title
The Land Spectators and
Boomers will not be Able
to Evade the Law

Washington, July 81. Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock is very indign-
ant over the statements that the per-
sons who drew the first choices in El
Reno and Lawton districts of the
Indian lands recently thrown open for
settlement were preparing to sell their
claims to the highest bidder aud that
the officers of the general land office
would not be able to enforce the pro-
visions of the homestead law against
such transfers.
Secretary Hitchcock said that on
previous occasions when lands we're
thrown open for settlement itmay have
been possible that such transfers were
made, owing TO lack of proper regis
tration facilities. The Introduction
of the new system of allotment and the
care that has been exercised on this
occasion in keeping the records would
prevent effectively any such land Jug
CLING by spectators. He pointed out
that by the terms of the homestead
law five years must elapse between the
taking out of the title by a settler and
the perfection of the title and payment
of the final fee During the interval
the settler must ilveupou and improve
his propertv, and any transfer of his
rights before the expiration of the five
year limit would invalidate the title
to his claim. 1t would be absolutely
impossible. Mr.. Hitchcock says. for
land spectators and boomers to evade
the law on a single instance at the
present opening, owing to the detailed
accuracy of the methods of registra-
! tiou and allotment.

Bandits in
Morocco


IN May last some Of the Wild tribes
men Of Morocco stole a Spanish boy
and girl who were living with their
parents at one OF the Spanish settle
ments on the north coast OF Africa.
The Spanish government. knowing
Well that the children would be killed
II the ransom demanded by the ban
dts was not paid, advanced the money,
and the children were released. Then
Spain made a claim for the amount Of
its disbursement and also for dam
ages, upon the government OF Moroc-
co. Recently the government paid to
Spain the sum Of $4,000 and an adj
ditional sum Of 81 600 TO be given to
the parents Of the stolen children.
Several incidents Of the same sort
have occurred in the past two or three
years. and each time the sultan has
been compelled TO take a large sum Of
money from his treasury to meet the
claims OF Spain He seems incapable
Of preventing these outrages. Probably
few persons have any idea how weak

country he assumes to govern. The
fact is that his rule extends over only
about one-sixth Of the territory deslg-
mated on our maps by the name Of
Morocco. Il is easy to distinguish be-
tween the territories over which his
rule is well established and those in
which his authority is not recognized.
and whose inhabitants refuse to pay
taxes unless the taxgatherer is sup
ported by large force Of soldiers. II
we look at the map showing the distri-
button Of the population Of Morocco
we viii observe two areas. roughly
triangular in shape. which are inhabit-
ed by Arabs. The most northern
area extends from the Strait Of Gibral-
tar TO the coast town Of Rabat with
Fee, the largest city Of the country
near the apex of the triangle. The
base of the southern triangle lies
liong the coast between Mazagari and
Agadir and the nity Of Morocco IN the
Interior is near its apex. Practically

and are held accountable for outrages
committed upon the whites. Il is a

OF all the strange methods invented
BY man TO separate him from his
trouble the strangest Is that devised
by one jose Diaz Of the City Of Mexico.
Jose had stomach ache. To cure 1t
he made a bolus Of dynamite and in
serted It in a detonating cap, to
which was attached a thread Of cop
per wire. He swallowed the bolus.
and with the copper wire hanging
from his lips went out to seek an
electrical connection. He met a police
man first, and under questioning ex-
planned the situation. After an on
cial consultation Jose was taken into
the suburbs. He was made to lie
down. and a long rope was fastened
to his feet Then the copper wire was
made fast to a fence, and three police
men at the other end OF that long rope
drew Jose and the detonator apart.
The dynamite remained in his interior
department, however. and Jose is now
stunned as a dangerous character.

Curious Currency in china

Ever since Talking Of Chi invented
a coinage system instead Of other
means Of exchange, the Chinese em-
pire has used copper cash as currency
Formerly China used gold. silver and
copper. but silver was the standard
But the ounce and touch varied end
lessly in different places This was
greatly 70 the loss and Inconvenience
OF the people
When foreign trade began. the for
eign coins gradually came into circu-
lation in the ports The Spanish dollar
and the Mexican dollar were tie coins
used. These were both y in weight,
but the Spanish dollar was purer sill
yer and 50 exchanged for more cash.
The last few years the Spanish dollar
is gradually disappearing and the Mex
ican holds the field The product OF
the Mexican silver mines is sent to
the United States. where Il Is con-
verted into silver bricks It IS then
sent back TO Mexico to be coined.

use. Is nominally equal 10 al respects
