method OF procedure in the opening up
Of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache and
Wichita reservations. Some Of these COM
nunications insist that the president
should give ample notice to all people in
terested as to the time for the opening
Of the, Kiowa and Comanche reservat tons,
while Others insist that a notice Of this
kind would be an actual hardship upon
many people residing hundreds OF miles
away from the reservation, who. II they
receive notice ahead of time would go 10
Oklahoma and participate in the race for
homesteads One OF the plans suggested
is that the land should be surveyed and
numbered, and that each person desiring
to make a homestead entry should notify
either the secretary Of the interior, or
local officer in charge in writing and
that ach OF these applications should be
preserved and recorded. When the num-
Der Of allotments in the two reserva-
tons Is reached, in the event there is an
excess of applicants there should be a
sufficient number of blank slips placed in
a box, together with slips calling for al
lotments, to make up the total number
Of the parties applying for homestead al
Iotments The day before the allotment
occurred each applicant should be allow
ed to draw from the box containing the
slips one card. In this way all rush and
confusion would be prevented together
with endless litigation.
As the secretary Of the interior has no
authority Of law to embark in the lot
terry business. these suggestions cannot
be considered by the department Under
the law they must be thrown open by
presidential proclamation and the first
party to make a selection viii be the one
recognized by the government. In the
case of the Wichita reservation ample
notice Of the opening viii be given, and
although no definite decision has been ar
rived at it is probable that similar
course VII be pursued with relation to
the Kiowa and Comanche country.
There is a very strong probability now
that neither Of these reservations win be
opened during the summer.

promise and let the bill come up in its
regular order He also bore in mind, no
doubt that it was the night Of the gov
ernor's reception in honor Of the mem
bers Of the council from which circum-
stance he would naturally infer that
rather than be discourteous to the in
TENDED host Of the evening the members
would consent TO let the bill go over. But
as the minutes and hours dragged along
it became apparent that if the speaker
were enjoying the situation his hearers
were certainly not suffering serious dis
comfort. When the supper hour arrived,
Senator Clarke was still talking with
no evident intention of stopping and
meals were sent up from a neighboring
hotel, which the members dispatched at
their desks Neither was the venerable
speaker neglected and on his desk APP
peared a substantial repast along With a
bottle of wine. to both OF which he paid
attention between sentences. At 9 o'clock
the senator's voice weakened to the con-
versatonal pitch. nevertheless he pluck

dropped into his seat, a motion was made
to report the bill favorably, the motion
carried, by a vote of to 81 and the
council adjourned, after the most remark
able display of oratorical endurance ever
witnessed in an Oklahoma legislature.
BY a vote Of 10 the council this
morning rejected Senator Miller's amend
ment excepting Christian Scientists and
osteopaths from the provisions of Wink
Ier's BILL which prohibits any person en-
gaging in the practice of medicine or
surgery in the territory without first OBJ
tanning a license from the territorial
board Of health The amendment was
strongly supported and would probably
have been adopted but from the state
rnent by the author of the bll that the
provision did not apply to the two class
es named inasmuch as neither of them
makes any pretense of practicing medi-
cine or surgery. The bill was then fav-
orally recommended for passage.

propriating $4,000 for additional buildings

WAS THERE A SKELETON?
LoomiIIer said TO Have Been Arrest

Guthrie. o. T, Feb. 19.-(Capita)-An
interesting story has come to light over
the finding Of the dead body Of J. C.
LoomlIler, formerly Of this city, near the
cemetary at Hazelton. Indiana, on St.
Valentine day. Near by was found an
empty revolver. Loomiier went to In
diana from Oklahoma. He was blind and
went about with a long stick. It IS
thought that he was murdered for the
money he had with him.

story in connection with the death OF

Mr.. BARR LEAVES.
Connection With Santa Fe
Ends Today.

James NJ. Barr, for a little less than
three years third, vice president of the
Santa F'e system, practically terminated
his connection with that road today,
when he left Chicago for Richmond,
Va, to assume the duties of first vice
president and general manager of the
Seaboard Air line.
Mr.. Bars relations with the en-
ployes of the Santa Fe have not been
pleasant since he first took charge of
the transportation department. The
dOuble-header system of railrOading
which has caused so much dissatisfac-
ton among enginemen and trainn en-,
was the result of Mr.. Bars plans to
orally believed now that the undertake
ing has been a costly one to the Santa
Fe. because it has overtaxed the capac-
ity of the motive power, besides pro-
ducing so much unrest among the en-
ployes that some Of the Oldest and most
experienced men have left the service of
the company.
1t is uncertain who will succeed to
the third vice presidency of the sys-
tenn. Ever since the resignation of Mr.
Barr it has been believed and hoped
that H. u Nudge, general manager of
Santa Fe, would become successor to
Mr.. Barr. But there has been nothing
official given out that would justify
such belief
Mr. Nudge IS in Chicago today and
in close touch with President E. P.
Ripley. This streng thens the belief
that Mr.. Nudge will become third vice
president, or possibly Will succeed to
the head of the operating department,
besides remaining general manager.
