CREEK INDIANS HARD PRESSED.
The Man With His Own Land Seems
Poorer-Some are In Dire Want.

Tulsa, /. r., Feb. 5.--Conditions in
the Creek nation are rapidly changing
from bad to worse, and unless some
thing is done in the very near future
there will be great suffering among the
middle and lower class of Creek citi-
zens. These people cannot induce stran
gers to lease or rent their lands. as the
pubnsned reports say they cannot lease
for longer than one day. The average
Creek freedmen ad fullblood lndina Is
in a bad plight at the present time
They are. in many cases, in dire want
for food and clothing, yet they are the
sole owners of one hundred and sixty
acres of choice farming lands. They
own II. and they don't own 1t. This
state of affairs seems to have grown
more acute ever since they were put
in possession of their allotments. They
feel that it will be only matter OF
few weeks that relief will come in the
form of a patent to the land, and they
believe that they candispose of l2O
acres OF their land.
According to the Creek-Dawes treaty
they will be compelled to wait hve
long years before they can make deed
to their 12O acres, unless, however the
honorable secretary of the interior
takes pity on them and permits them
TO sell their own property.
Your correspondent has made care
full investigation of conditions among
those residing in the rural districts and
found them in a state of destitution
They say that unless they can sell j
norton of their allotments they will be
unable to improve their homesteads
This they cannot do, because of the
treaty stipulations. Just what VIII be
come of this class of Creek citizens IS
more than would care to say. Certain
~ something ought to be done for thes'
simple people. They are entitled u
some consideration and must have he'll
from some sources. So-called "lan'
sharks" have been warned to 'keeI

Elsie de Wolfe,

With the advent of Clyde Fltchs play
 'The Way of the World which comes to the Jefferson theatre tonight, this city will have an opportunity to see what has been called a society play, acted for so- ciety people by society people. When the piece was produced in New York last season 1t created something of sensa- tion because of the unusual and rather daring character of the plot and ,he elab- orateness of the mounting Miss Elsie De Wolfe was formerly n member of MT
 Charles Frohman's Empire Theatre Stock company and has won indorsement and recognition in her starring tour through what is considered very fine portrayal of the role of Beatrice Croyden in 'The Way of the World" The story of the play has to do with the strained domes- tic relationship of a smart New York so- ciety couple. It is said that the gowns in the piece are unusually handsome, having been designed, as were the stage sets, un- der the personal direction of Mss De Wolfe. The latter were reproduced from the interiors of some of New York's smartest households. Some features of the performance are the automobile scene in the first act, the musical party In the third act, wonderfully realistic DOT

TRUSTEES FAILED
 LOCATE SCHOOL
IT WAS DECIDED THAT sYNoDl- CAL INSTITUTION FIRST RAISE 75,oOo--REV. MIR. sNEDEcoR IS FINANCIAL AGENT.

The trustees of the Alabama synod of the Presbyterian church failed yesterday afternoon to select a location for the synodieal college. They met and organ ized. but decided 1t was better not to select a loca ton until the s75,0OO was in sight and they could go to the various cities and make them business proposi- tion.
 The trustees hope to raise the s75,OOO in the near future and they elected the Rev. James G. snedecor of Woodlawn as the financial agent to solicit the subscrip- tions. Any city which desires to get the school must give site and $25,0OO, which will place $10OOOO in the hands of the trustees on which to commence work on the building.
 All the members but two were present at the meeting. The Rev. D. Clay Lilly was elected the chairman of the trustees. The body took steps to incorporate itself regularly under. the laws of the state and articles of incorporation will be filed soon.

At the Rllou.

Another one of Jake Wells real good shows. was the verdict of those who wit messed the performance last night at the Bijou This would hardly express. the real merit of the bill as well as did the continues hand clapping which followed all of the acts in general, and three in particular. There is nothing weak about the bill, as there was about the last vau- deville bill, but it is a well rounded bunch of attractions with no one of them lead- ing in the home stretch by more than a neck
 Paul Howard and Leona Bland, pre- senting musical comedy playette; Leroy and Woodford, and the Parros Brothers were the leaders in the applause winning, but the Sisters Lawrence, Rally and Kent the Cormen Sisters and the vite- graph all came in for a round of applause which made the house ring.
 Bert Howard, first as a man whose trousers had been stolen while he was in swimming, and later as comedy musi- elan, was one of the best performers the house has yet played, and he was aided in his work by Miss Bland. The act is a laughter producer of the best sort.
 LeRoy Is a comedian. His monologue is new to Birmingham. His songs are good. and his manner of performing the part aids the combination and makes the act go with a vim that is refreshing. Miss Woodford is a good team mate for him.
 The Lawrence Sisters form one of the many sister teams, and they are a sec tion of the real thing" Besides being good looking and shapely, they have some novelties. The Carmen Sisters are the only women banjoists on the vaudeville stage, and their work is of the most musi- cal kind. They play with equal ability the love song, the ballard and the rag time but their applause was won when they "knocked off" "Dixie'' and My Old Kentucky Home."
 Kelly and Kent have some good gags, sing three clever songs and do a novel dancing act. Miss Kent, as a Bowery girl, is excellent The Parros Brothers are hand to hand acrobats whose feats of strngth drew gasps of astonishment from the women of the audience, and signs of envy from the men, who all wished they were as good specimens of the physical man as are these two performers Their work Is very good. The vitagraph which is put on by Jack VanEpps, has a good combination of pictures, including one very fine one of the gorge of the Colorado river.

HUNTERS RETURN.
Sheriff RursIn's Party Had Luck In
 Mississippi.


 The Birmingham hunters have returned from the canebrakes of Mississippi, where for ten days they hunted bear, deer and other game. The party was composed of Sheriff Andrew W. Burgin. Jesse Brown. Steve Brown M. A. Forbes, MT. Henry, all of this city, and J. F. Appling of Ems ley. H
 They were styled the Brown party" Camp was pitched near Sunfiower City on the Culver river and about twenty-five miles north of the camp of President Roosevelt and party. l &
 The Jefferson county hunters had better luck than the Presidential party. The members bagged two bears-one large fellow, the other cub. In addition. many deer and smaller game were killed. Mir Appling shot big bear through the in the display window of the Birmingham Arms company. The cub was shot by Jesse Brown.
 MT. Brown and Mir. Forbes last night related little story of the camp at the expense of Jefferson county's sheriff. They said one night the sheriff came into camp dragging a black cub, as he called it. The officer was proud of the fact that he was the only one that day to get O bear when upon examining the black animal 1t was discovered to be a wild hog.
 An exciting night was the 18th, when a large pack of wolves attacked the dogs. A fierce fight ensued and the members of the party were compelled to climb trees. Finally the wolves dispersed.
