Rock, Ark. After grading and
laying ties from Fort Smith 10
Prairie Grove, Ark, his money
and credit gave out. and the pro-
ject was about to be abandoned.

become interested in the original
proposition, was induced to take
hold Of the property. He made

AGAINST THE LAND SHARKS


Secretary Hitchcock is being
roundly abused in certain quarters
these days, and investigation will
show that it all comes from bis re.
fusal to be a party to the unmerci-
ful fleeing Of the Indians in this
territory especially in the Creek
country. The land and investment
companies through the connivance
OF officials both federal and tribal
we're simply getting away with
what little birthright the Indian
had left. Every honest man can
not do less than uphold the Sscre-
tary. The inordinate desire to ac-
quire land before is legal aliena-
tion is the source of all the trOnble.
If the Secretary had not placed a
strong hand upon these sharks he
wonld have deserved the severest
censure. The suspension OF work
in the deeds and lease division Of
the Indian Office at Muskogee, the
discharge Of Clarence Douglas and
the general shaking up given the
territory service is the beginning
OF reform in this work. About
fhy percent Of the Greek people
are negroes or Of negro descent,
and they with the full blooda have
been considered the legitimate
prey Of the land grabbers.Li Il Hitch

HOW ANIMALS SWIM.
Some DO II Very Easily and Naturally
While others Make a Bad
Job OF IT,

Almost all animals know how to swim
without having to learn it. AS soon as
they fall into the water or are driven
into It, they instinctively make the
proper motions. and not only manage
to keep anoat but propel themselves
without trouble, says Nature.
Exceptions are the monkey, the cam
el, giraffe and llama. which cannot
swim without assistance. Camels and
lIamas have to be helped across water
and giraffes and monkeys drown If they
enter H. Now and then both of the lat
ter species manage to cross waterways,
when they are driven to extremities.
just as human beings occasionally can
keep themselves above water through
sheer fright
A funny, though able, swimmer is the
rabbit. He submerges his body with
the exception Of head and tail The
latter sticks away up into the air and
his hind legs make soap suds" as they
churn the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by the
squirrel among the land animals
The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high He cleaves the
waves like a duck and man in a row.
boat has all he can do to keep abreast
of the swimming squirrel.

terrestrial animal may be, it will re-

If that is true, which we doubt,
the man is scarcely worthy Of sup
port. If he hasn't made few
enemies he is negative character

positive nature. II a man stands

The committeeman gathered
around the table whereor

Speaker Harr's broke the seal. The
formal canvass then began. The
audience and the legislature waited
patiently for a time, the silence
only being disturbed by the rustic
of the heavy ballot sheets as they
were opened and read and the low
hum of whispered conversations.
After a time, however, people be-
gan to get restless and shifting OF
positions among the members and
the audience began and gradual y
increased, while numerous glances
were cast at the clock, the hands of
which were gradually crawling
around toward the hour of noon.
Finally at 11:45 President Brow
nell announced that it would be
impossible to complete the count
before the noon hour and that the
Inauguration ceremony would be
postponed until 2 p M There was
sigh of disappointment from the
greatsassemblagesat the rear of the
hal, bat the people began to file
out at once and the joint SESSION
was adjourned Fifteen minutes
later both houses adjourned for
lunch.
Both houses reconvened separate

session re-opened, President Brown

and Speaker Harris a place at his

court occupied places on the speak

had been appointed to canvass the

had completed it's work and that
the vote had been<found to be cor
rect. President Brownell then ap-
pointed committee to notify the
governor and the governor-elect that
the legislature was ready to proceed
with the Inauguration.
The committee retired and with.
In few minutes returned, and es-

arm in arm down the broad center
aisle, to the accompaniment of a
storm of applause from the assem-
blage. Arriving at the speakers
rostrum, the governor and the gov

message. The outgoing governor

The reading concluded, Chief Jus-

ative to the action which had been
taken by the committee.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The move
ment for change of the date of the
inauguration of the president is re-
ceiving some consideration in the
House, and although it is we'll
known that an amendment to the
Constitution is about the most diff.
fcult proposition to put through,
there is some hope expressed that
this congress will not adjourn. until
1t has passed the resolution provid-
ing for such change. One of the
earnest advocates of the change is
Senator Cockrel, of Missouri, whose
conservation is unqestioned. He
thinks it would be good thing for
many reasons, chief among them
being that the weather would be
much better the last part of April
than the first part of March.
Crowds are bound to come to such
events" said Senator Cockrell,
"and hundreds go to their death as
a result of exposure in the inclem-
cut weather" But that is not the
only reason he advances. He says
that the short session of three
months with the holiday recess is
entirely too brief for the proper
transaction Of public business. Two
months additional time would af-
ford ample opportunity to consider
needed legislation, and to- give con-
sideration to the appropriation bills.
1t is now recognized as 3an easy
thing for a determined minority 10
defeat all legislation in the short
session. Another reason which
other men have frequently pointed
out is that oftentimes the short seq
sion is controlled by party that
has bsen defeated and discredited
at the polls, and that bad legislation,
sxtravagant appropriations and inn
proper claim bills are crowded
through in the closing days. If the
House would find time to take, up
The proposed change of date it
could, no doubt, be passed, as more /.
5han two:thirds of the members
want the change. Of course, at
his late day, amendments in the
House might endanger the resolu-
ion, as those who opposed it in the
senate last session would find means
If shelving it if it again comes up
n the senate.

washington, January ID
The bill granting rebate of the
entire import duty on coal for one
year was passed by both Houses of
congress yesterday.
An amendment was added in the
senate repeating the duty on an
thracite coal, and was adopted by
the house without division.
Only five members. all republi-
cans, voted against the bill in the
House. and it passed the senate u
unanimously.
The senate amendment is the
point for which Vest has been con-
tending, and is equivalent to the
adoption of his resolution.
A resolution will be introduced
in the House authorizing inquiry
into the power of the government to
take possession of coal mines and
operate them in the public interets,
where evidence of conspiracy exists.
Evidence of conspiracy among
coal dealers has been found in Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Detroit and CO.
lumbus, O. The governor of Ohio
has begun proceedings to forfeit the
charters Of six conspiring coal
Companies. Thirty dealers in de-
troit have been indicted.
In several towns men arrested for
stealing coal have been discharged,
and robbing of coal cars on railroads
is common.
Detroyt and Chicago have begun
the sale Of free distribution of coal.

New York, Jan. 13.-After two
years experimentation with nick
eled steel rails, the Pennsylvania
railroad bas decided to place them
on the heavy curves through the
Allegheny Mountains. An order
for five thousand tons has been giv-
en- at costof $375,000. The nick
eled steel rails cost nearly three
times as much as rails of standard
steel. The tests made by the Penn
sylvania have shown the durability
OF the nickeled rails to be more
than three times that of standard
steel.
