INDIANS AS CITIZENS.
Judge Bradford Sees a Vision Of
Single Statehood.

Ardmore, l. T., May 1.-THE
making of Indian citizens of In.
dian Territory iEto citizens of the
United States at the last session
OF congress was the direct out
growth of the South McAlester
single statehood convention, -
said Judge S. B. Bradford of this
place, who took the initiative in
calling the convention. II sent
copies of my address TO different
members of congress. | called
rthe attention Of Senator Thurston
especially to the matter, suggest.
ing that the policy of dealing with
the Indians from the standpoint of
non-federal citizenship was wrong.
Senator Thurston, by an amend
ment to a bill, gave federal clti-
zenship to every member of the
five civilized tribes.
tine change was looked upon
with dismay at first, even J. Geo.
Wright, Indian inspector, feeling
uncertain as to the outcome. MY
idea was to give the Indian the
same status as a white man and
permit him to assist in framing
the constitution and laws of the
future state, which undoubtedly
Will be a state composed of Okla
homa and Indian Territories. /
do not believe that the change will
disturb the property rights Of any
Indian citizen nor interfere with
his allotments and annuities. The
treaties can and should be car
ried out the same as if the law had |
not been passed. This very prop
erly renders the Indians amena-
'ble to the same laws OF justice that
control other persons living in the
Indian Territory. The ratified
treaties Of the Choctaws and
should remain unim-
paired until the final adjustment
OF tribal affairs, and, if necessary,
the life of the treaties should be
extended. A majority of Indian
citizens are pleased with the
change, since they understand that
it does not interfere with their
property rights. My idea is that
the work of the commission sent
to Indian Territory to settle up
the affairs of the tribe is similar
to the adjustment of vast estate
of individuals, and the purpose of
extending the life of the indian
governments is to give sufficient
time in which to close up the af. {
fairs of the estate"

The British government has leased
Darrell's Island, one of the largest is

one year, with the option of relinquish-

Island has also been inspected, but up

The army officials are very reticent
and nothing can be learned from them
on the subject. AS the blacksmiths of
the town have been sounded as to their
ability TO construct several hundred
yards of iron fence, very strong, close,
high and with spike points, and as the

said to be the outline of one of the

as 70 the objects of the government.
lt is claimed that had the island not
been wanted for the prisoners, but for
the several hundred British laborers
who are going out to build the new
swing bridge to connect the dockyard
with the mainland, no such iron fencing
would have been inquired about, and
the negotiations for Darrells island

Dr. Parkhurst said that the party of

had any special interest in the south as
a distinct section, but because they
were conscious Of the unity which
makes the north and south members Of
each other The conference held at
