A legal fight involving the value Of
many Indian estates and conducted by
the finest legal talent in the Southwest
is now on. The gauntlet was thrown
into the ring Friday at Washington
when the supreme court Of the United
states allowed c. L. Herbert and W. I.
Cruce Of Ardmore 10 file a bill in that
court making application for a writ
OF prohibition against the Choctaw.
Chickasaw citizenship court. II is not
known when the case will be set for
argument. but It is expected that the
matter will be given hearing within
brief time. Briefly stated. the con
tention Of the Ardmore attorneys is
that che congressional act creating
the citizenship court is constitutional
They do not believe that special legis-
laton should interfere with court
Judgments. The Ardmore attorneys
who have given the matter much
thought are elated over their pros
poets OF final triumph.

The Weather,

The weather for the past twenty
four hours has been very satisfactory
to the citizens Of Ardmore Yesterday
morning opend up a little cloudy
and warm, but the major portion Of
the clouds soon passed away and olc
Sol was a welcome visitor.
Mercury hung all around 20 above
all forenoon, but after dinner the wine
changed to the north, and the ther
mometer dropped to about so.
The wind was a great help yester
day in drying up the mud. The muC
is just sticky enough now to make Il
very hard to pull through, and bu
few wagons are in from the country
in consequence.
The weather bureau man at Okla

City Cannot Collect.
Chickasha, /. T., March THE
city of Chickasha may have TO
defer a number OF contemplated pub
lie improvements that are badly need
ed owing to the inability Of the city
to collect taxes on real estate until
a patent is received from the United

yet been recorded Judge Hosea
Townsend of the United States fed
eral court for the Indian Territory,
has given his opinion that real estate
is not subject to taxation until a pat.

quiring the governor OF Wisconsin 10
callupon the governors Of others states
90 appoint ten delegates to a conven-
tion to be held in Atlanta. Ga, on the
18th of July. The settling OF the race
problem is a question that puzzles the
politician. Wonder what such a con.
vention as suggested in the Wisconsin
resolutions could do? What is the
race problem anyway? Has the time
arrived when national conventions
must be held to determine matters OF
difference between the whites and
blacks? There are no local evidences
of friction between the two races.
There is no reason for friction any,
where. The negro OF the South has
never sought social equality; he does
not expect t. He accepts this as a
white mans government and is not
disappointed IN being refused the ap-
pointment to office. II strife does arise
1t is attributable to only one source
that taken by the president

The Chickasaw townsite commits
sion has only two towns OF any inn
portance yet TO be plated. The work
OF the commission is drawing to a
close except the selling Of lots, which
seems an Understandable piece Of
work. Lots on which the appraised
paire 10 not bid can not be sold. These
lots together with those forfeited for
non payment OF the installments go on
from time 20 time without limit. II
the department will arrange some
method OF disposing OF these lots, the
work OF the townsite cimmlssion will
soon be AZ an end. The opinion pre-
walls that the commission will plat
and sell only those towns that have
been reserved from allotment. If the
law is clear on this point, private par
ties can survey and plat townsites at
their own expense along new railroad
lines. aud II the commission to the
Ave civilized tribes recommend and
the secretary OF the interior gives his
approval, towns can be laid out on
lands that have been allotted and no
restrictions are placed upon the trans
