RED BAND OPENS.
Arrangements for Tonight's Concert
Will Be Better.

The circumstances under which the
Banda Rosa gave it's concert at the
fair grounds on Wednesday night spoil
ed its enjoyment to the big crowd
which had braved the almost frosty at
mosphere to hear it. Between the band
and the crowd. the horse show was
kept in operation all through the pro-
gramme, and the beautiful music was
all but lost, except in the more spirit
ed passages, and the effect of these
was lessened because the contrast was
lost. Only the famous Willow Grove
March was really appreciated and
heard by the big crowd, for then the
horseshow was not in operation and
full attention could be given the fam
Gus relocated musicians. The second
number, the overture to william Tell
was commenced just as the first class
in the horseshow was brought out. 1t

FOR THE INDIANS BENEFIT
Judge Diekerson Says Leases In Fu.
ture Are to be More Reasonable

ARDMORE: Jucge DickerSOn, OF
the United States court for the south.
ern district, has recently made two
important decisions In refusing to
confirm land case wherein minor
figured. Judge Dickerson used vigor-
Gus language. "Such q lease" ne
said, will never be confirmed in my
court. I'll agree to furnish a lessee
who will take the land for ten years
at $3.50 a year. There investments
must hereafter be made for the bene.
fit of the Indian minor, and this
court will confirm no lease which
raises presumption Of dishonesty
by it's ridiculously low rates or an
unreasonably long time"
Heretofore hundreds of land leases
have been confirmed upon the appli.
cation of the guardians. Judge Dick
erson instructed the clerk of the
United States court 70 furnish him
certified copy of all land leases. Al.
though there are about 1000 pending,
he promised to personally investigate
each one.
Judge Dickerson has held that the
Indian Territory is under the Arkan-
sas statute on the question of usury.
In instrutcing jury to discharge a
defendant for selling mortgaged prop
erty he ruled that there c1n be no
crme when usurious rate of interest
was charged.

COTTON IMPROVEMENT
Condition Of Crop Much Better in the
Washita Valley

Washita Valley
ARDMORE: Within the past few
days there has been a marked improve
ment in the condition of the cotton
crop. Many sections report better
prospects for large yield than was
anticipated some two weeks ago
Probably the creates, Improvement
has been in the Washita valley. Ac
cording to a statement made by Frank
served the crop In that section, there
will be third more cotton produced
this year than last season He attri
butes the favorable improvement and
condition to timely rains which have
fallen IN the valley country during
the past fortnight. Mr.. Gates said:
Two weeks ago merchants and farm
ers were anything but enthused over
prospects. The drou;h was having 2
disastrous effect on the fleecy staple.
and farmers were growing very much
discouraged over the outlook. h was
apparent that there would be big
shortage in production, but the recent
rains have greatly improved the con.
dition of cotton, anI that the valley
country will make the largest crop in
its iistory.''
In the Red river valley the rains
have improved cotton to a great ex.
tent, although the drouth, it is said,
will cut the crop considerable.
Mr.. Carter, an experienced cotton
raiser who lives near Faoli, says the
droutn has cut the crop one-half OF
what was estimated some time ago.
the general condition of the crop
is reported as being only fair but the
yield will be larger IN Indian territory,
because Of the increased acreage.
The cotton picking season has
opened in earnest and the fields pre-
sent busy scene.

ORDERED DIsARMED
An Order by the President Affecting
the Russian TRANSPORT

WASHINGTON: Acting Secretary
of State Adee has given out the fol-
lowing statement regarding the Rus.
sian ship Lena, now at San francisco:
THE president issued an order
through the acting secretary Of state
directing that the Russian armed
transport Lena, now at San Francisco,
be taken in custody by the naval au.
thorities Of the United States and dis.
armed.
The main features of the con.
ditiOns prescribed are that the Lena
be taken to the Mare Island navy
yard and there disarmed by removal
of small guns, breech locks of large
guns. small arms ammunition and
ordnance stores and such other dis.
mantlement as may be prescribed by
the commandment of the navy yards;
that the captain be given written
guarantee that the Lena shall not
leave San Francisco until peace shall
have been concluded; that the Off
GERS and crew Shall be paroled and
not to leave San Francisco until some
other understanding as to their dis
posal may be reached between the
United States government and both
belligerents; that after disarmament
the vessel may be removed to a pri.
vate dock for such reasonable repairs
as will make her seaworthy and pre-
serve her in good condition during her
detention, or may be SO repaired at
the navy yard il the Russian CON-
mander should so elect; that while at
private dock the comlnandant of the
navy yard at Mare Island shall have
custody Of the ship and the repairs
shall lie overseen by the engineer of.
ficer To be detailed by the command
ant and that, when SO repaired. X
peace shall not then have been con.
cluded. the vessel shall be taken back
to Mare Island navy yard and be
there held in custody until the end Of
the year."
This action has been taken on the
written request of the commander of
the Lena, addressed to Rear Admiral
Goodrich, setting forth that the vessel
is incapable of putting to sea without
needful repairs, she must disarm, and
asking that needful repairs be permit
ted after disarmament.
