HOUSE COM MITTEE.
Will Report Favorably on State.
hood Bills and Will Recon-.
mend Territorial Form
of Government for the
Indian Territory.

The first skirmish in the pend
ing struggle for statehood, has
been won by the territories, and
the house COMMITTEES will report
favorably on the bills providing
for the admission OF Oklahoma, Ar
izona and New Mexico TO state
hood, and will also report bill
recommending territorial form of
government for the Indian terri
tory.
The report of the committee will
be submitted February 2lst, and
il il thought, will receive the i'm
mediate Enforcement OF a msjori-
ty of the members of the house.
In the senate the admission Of
the territories, which would make
the political prestige Of the east
insecure, will be fercely contend
ed, by eastern senators, but the
pariisans of the several measures,
are confident OF their passage.
There is a wide divergence Of
opinion among the members of
the committee concerning the dis
position that shall be made of the
Indian territory case. There is no
sentiment in favor OF admitting
the territory into the Union as a
part OF Oklahoma, the differences
being confined TO the character OF
the government that shall be pro
vided for the territory. The Moon
bill has been strongly urged. The
objection to it is that it provides
for full territorial form of gov
eminent with the consequent ex
pense in taxation that must be
borne by personal taxes until such
time as the Indians lands are
made subject to taxation. Some
of the members of the committee
urge that the territory cannot af
ford 10 assume such a burden and
they are making an effort for the
adoption of the Curtis bill. which
provides for a governor, secretary
OF the territory and delegate to
congress. to be appointed by the
President. and the expense Of the
government TO be borne by the
federal government. This matter
is now in the hands Of a subcom
mitiee. which will report 10 the
iull committee next week.

PITIABLE PLIGHT
OF Drought Sufferers Brought to
the Attention of the Interior
Department With Request
for Funds From Roy
atty Receipts.

The immediate necessity of re-
lieving the suffering fullbloods,
who are struggling against all the
horrors OF starvation in the snow
clad Businesses of the hills, has
aroused the tribal authorities TO
take action, and Chief Burlington
will leave for Washington to-
morrow to personally request the
secretary of the interior to allow
the payment of $4,000 from the
funds received from royalties, for
relief purposes
There is approximately $50, 600
in the sub treasury at ST. Louis to
the credit Of the nation, and with
the consent OF The department
th,s money will be Immediately
available
Chief Burlington was in CONSUL
tstion at Muskogee Saturday with
Agent Blair G. Shoenfelt, In re
gard to diverting part of the roy
atty fund for the purpose OF
purchasing supplies for the sui
ferers, and received an assurance
from The agent that be would urge
upon the department the necessi-
ty OF prompt action.
The suffering among those whose
crops were destroyed by the great
drought of last summer. has be-
come so acute that several COM
munites have instituted relief
measures, pending the necessary
delay through payments from the
tribal funds.
They will investigate the cases
OF deslitution in the territory con-
tlguous To them, and give all tenn
porary relief within their own dis
tries.
No measures have as yet been
undertaken in Viniia 10 raise a re-
lief fund, but unless the interior
department. grants Immediately
the request for funds. it will be
incumbent upon this community
e. answer the call OF humanity,
and assis. ia relieving the unfor.
tunates, who cannot survive the
winter without material aid.
A number Of citizens have e
pressed their willingness TO con-
tribute most generously, and IN
case Chief Burlington fails in his
mission 10 Washington. the colIec-
uon Of relief fund will be inaugu.
rated at once.
There is a wide divergence Of
opinion a. to the best means Of
conducting the distribution OF
supplies. but il is certain that no
money will be paid ont direct.

The distribution will be
through the commercial club,
and will be only TO the full

A movement has been started
10 Alton, to raise funds for the
same humane purpose. A letter
received from Dr. i. ID. Hitch

relief work, states that the cit
