journment Take Place.
Washington, March Sin the house
yesterday the usual scene attending
the close of the session were enacted
except that there were no pressing
measures at the close of the session
which made it necessary to turn back
the hands of the big clock which faces
the speaker.
Ovation for Cannon.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, who is to be
| speaker of the next house, received
the first ovation. He was called to re-
!icve Speaker Henderson. and as he re-
ceived the gavel from him the house
broke out into applause. Mr.. Cannon
modestly bowed acknowledgement of
the demonstration, which was hearty
and prolonged, but gave no verbal rec
ognition.
Resolution of Thanks.
As soon as the speaker had retired
from the chamber MI. Payne. the re-
publican floor leader, offered the usual
resolution of thanks for the efficient
and impartial manner in which he had
presided over the house, and it was
passed without a roll call, though 81
democrats showed a disposition to OBJ
ject. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
house are presented to David B. Hen
derson, speaker of the house Of repre-
sentatives, for the able, impartial and
dignified manner in which he has pre-
sided over its deliberations and per-
formed the arduous and important
duties of the chair during the present
term of congress-"
Sing National Anthem.
Speaker Henderson was yisibly af-
fected when he delivered his valedic-
tory. 1t was largely an appeal to
patriotism, and was greeted with an
immense demonstration. When the
house was finally declared adjourned
sine die at 1902 p. M, the whole
membership united in singing the ma
tiona anthem. The members, still
singing, then filed down to the speak,
er's rostrum to bid the speaker fare
well.

He called attention to the fact that

that while it appears that the appro.

up OF three items, namely, the $50.

COAL LAND
AT AUCTION
Four Hundred Forty thousand
Acres in the Deal.

SMALL INVESTORS CHANCE

Ardmore. / T.. Sept. l5.-Four hundred
and forty thousand acres OF highs grade
bituminous coal viii be knocked down
to the highest bidders by the federal
government at auction sales 10 be held
some time within the next two years
These lands. which now belong 10 the
Choetaw and Chickasaw Indians. and
which are located in Indian territory
have. under the provisions of an act of
congress. been segregated by experts of
the geological survey. acting under the
direction of the secretary of the inte-
rior.
fhe value of the land is not hard to
estimate. Experience has proved that the
coal vein averages four feet in thick
ness. or 400 feet 10 the acre. if the en-
tire deposit is taken out. In order 10
remove the entire vein il is necessary 10
brace the roof with timber supports, and
in some instances it may prove more eco
nomical to leave pillars Of coal. 1t IS
said that the territory coal fields will
eventually yield 1.76e eoO.Ooo tons of coal.
a considerable part of the lands is already
being profitably worked thirty-year
leases. the lessees paying eight cents
ton. mine run" for the coal taken out
Under the arrangement the mines would
approximately yield $500 an acre. The
leases now in existence will be sold at
the same time as the coal lands
The auction of the coal lands win. under
the provisions of the law, take place un-
der the supervision of a commission which
will consist of three members. one TO be
appointed by the president and one each
by the government respectively of Choc
taws and Chickasaws. 4 period of two
years is allowed the commission in which
to dispose of the lands. 1t is said at the
interior department that the protracted
period of the sale and the selling OF
small sections will give small investors
a share of these valuable lands and will,
moreover, serve to prevent the entire
area being gobbled up by few great
syndicates at a price agreed upon among
themselves.

KANSAS is
TAKING PART
Leavenworth Times Represen-
tative in Indian Affair.
WANTS SCALP OF CURTIS
InsinuationS Have Been Utter
ed Against Congressman.
WANTS SCALP OF CURTIS

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 15.-From state
ments made by persons who profess &c
know, Kansas is taking a hand in the in
vestigation of Indian affairs in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. This interest on
the part Of Kansans is not so much in a
! desire to have the conditions surround
/ ing the Indians bettered but is an alleged
effort TO get the ''scafps'' of certain Kan
sas politicians.
/ A representative of the Leavenworth
/ Times, c. r. Aries, was in Guthrie yes
/ terday and today, coming over from
! Pawnee. where s. NJ Brosius of the In
dian Rights association of Philadelphia
making an investigation at the Pawnee
Indian school Il is stated that this rep
resentative of the Leavenworth paper is
after information which may be used
against Congressman Charles Curtis.
Curtis is part Indian and has interested
himself in behalf Of the Indians in Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory He and his
children own alotments n the Kaw reser-
vation aggregating 800 acres of the best
agricultural land. II is ins:nuated that
the Kansas man has been interested in
various deals. and has lost nothing by
| befrie1ding the Indians in congress. BY
following Special Agent Brosius. ii is be-
lieYed that things will be dug up which
can be used in the downing of Curtis.
The general impression here is that the
7 n
Times are after Curtis. and that they be-
lieve by watching Oklahoma and Indian
affairs they can find something which
could not be brought out unless an in
vestigation such as is now ON. not only
in Indian Territory, but in Oklahoma as
we'll
The Times representative while in Guth-
RE looked UP the records of the Topeka
and Ell Reno Telephone company. in which
company, it is stated. Curtis is a stock
holder. Since Special Agent Brosius IS
going to Indian Territory soon. it is rea-
sonable to presume that the Times man
viii keep in touch with him in that ter
ritory.
The work of Brosius IN Oklahoma has
caused considerable comment in OkIahe-
ma Men aye keeping close watch of his
work, and are anxious to ascehtain lust
what he is doing Brosius is not adver-
tising to any extent what he conten-
plates doing or where he will strike next
He is an unostentious person. and prefers
to do his work quietly, moving from
place without newspaper publicity. Poll
ticians here state that the only reason
they can assign for Kansas being inter-
ested in the Oklahoma investigation is
on account of alleged statements that
prominent Kansas citizens are mixed Up
in deals here and in the Indian Territory

BRIDGES ARE NEEDED.
South Canadian Is Said TO Be a
Treachsrous River.

Guthrie. 0. T. Sept 15.-At a recent
meeting OF the county commissioners Of
Dewey county it was decided that a
bridge is to be constructed over the South
Canadian river in that county; a three
mill levy being made for that purpose.
The South Canadian river divides Dewey
county into two parts and the stream is
probably the most treacherous in Okla
homa. At times it IS impossible for resi-
dents of the county 10 get 10 Taloga. the
county seat and petitions for bridges
have been in for many months.
At the last session Of the legislature,
Dewey county citizens made a hard fight
for territorial appropriation to buiid
a bridge across the South Canadian. but
could not secure it. However, law was
enacted which makes il easier to build
such q bridge over the big stream. The
Canadian is one of those up today and
down tomorrow" streams. and more than
one man has lost his team and wagon
because Of its treachery.

Decision Has Created Considerable
Discussion.

Guthrie. o. T, Sept. 15.--A ruling on an
important law question was made in
Comanche county last Saturday, and the
decision of the court has created consid-
erable discussion here. The Keating I'M

action against F. o. Ayres. One of the
questions UP was that corporation not
organized under the laws of the territory,
and having no appointed agent in the
territory upon whom service could be
made, could bring action against a citi-
zen. The judge in the case held for the
plaintiff in the action. assessing the costs
