The Washington ID c., Post Of May IA publishes the
following interview with l. f. Parker, Jr attorney for
the Cherokee Nation:
1.-THE failure OF the congress just ended to pass the bill
creating state out Of Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory was Of no detrment the citizens of either said
Mr. L. F. Parker of vinta, l. T., at the Shoreham Mr.
Parker is successful young lawyer and attorney for the
Cherokee nation
mo doubt he continued, "the next congress will en-
act the statehood BILL and the people will in the sum
mer Of 1905 adopt constitution prior to becoming one
of the states of the union in March 1906 The new state
bearing the name of Oklahoma will be valuable acqu-
stion to the union Politically it will be doubtful and
closely contested by both the great parties To-day the
Indian Territory democratic by from 5000 to 5000
votes but this situation will be than reversed,
within the next years. for the reason that nearly all
the immigration coming into our country is from
nc hern states where republicans largely predominate
efore the era Of railroads in Oklahoma and the Ter
rtoy the influx of settlers largely from Arkansas
and Texas and these pioneers all democrats Now
adays Arkansas and Texas are themselves attracting
thousands of homeseekers and people are not leaving
their borders AS the tend of migration now from the
north the old slaye-holdng and southern element no
longer predomnates and the day Of undisputed demo-
cratic supremacy will never return"

CiyiIity is but an art
Born Of the brain, and not the heart;
1t bows, and scrapes and lifts the hat,
And many pretty things like that,
1t does; and yet it simply says,
''Behold iuncture Of our ways!
sLet not your path toward mine inclinel
"Just you keep yours and TN keep mine. -
But Courtesy lives in the heart,
A something nobler than an ark
spirit there that wields control,
And shapes the nature Of the SOUL
Its language is; my brother, hail!
''We meet on ifes swift, fattling rail-
''Abate your steam, and gives your hand
''We're Fastening to different land
Our pending fate should make us men;
We may not come this way again

PREFERRED A HEAVY LOSER

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The stock mar
ket opened heavy. although the declines
were limited TO comparatively small
number of stocks. Within five minutes
after the opening, the prices Of the ac-
tive list ranged still ICwer. although
there were notable exceptions. The
steel stocks felt the reduction in the
price of billets. Preferred lost p and
common IS. Pennsylvania was heavy
ana lost *. Amalgamated was firm and
gained -. and Anaconda rose 34
Among the less active stocks Canadian
Pacific ana Leather common gained y
each. Consolidated Gas lost T.
The influences this morning were the
reduced estimates Of the ccru crop and
the development Of cold wave in the
Northwest These circumstances led to
rather liberal selling in the railroad list
The industrial quarter, especially the
iron and steel group. was adversely az
iected by the reduction in the price Of
billets
The decline in United States Steel
preferred reached IL per cent, and the
common lost point Tennessee Coal
and Iron. SlOss-Shefield, Smelling. and
American Locomotive were lower. Anal
gamated Copper. after early strength
reacted a stout fraction. In the rail-
way list there were losses Of about ]
per cent IN Pennsylvania. Baltimore

son, and Wabash preferred Toledo.

The bearish element shows more ac-
tiytty than In some time, and the spec
ulatlon Tor the time being appears to be
controlled by crop and weather con
siderauons. Government bonds I'M
changed; other bonds somewhat lower.
London houses have been consistently
moderate buyers, taking probably z. OO9
in all around the list. BY far the
greatest activity Is in Steel preferred
All the traders hammered the stock on
the way down The rest Of the market
showed little or no rally. The principal

Because Of the great number Of per-

CuOusly by a large number OF persons

TREASURERSHIP
IS UNTITLED

No steps have been taken by the
Catholic University to fill the vacancy
caused by the enforced resignation Of
Thomas r. Waggaman as treasurer of
she institution. u is unlikely a success
sor 70 Mr. Waggaman will be appointed
until the meeting Of the trustees latter
this month.
Until a new treasurer is appointed the
affairs Of the university win be handled
by the financial board. This body has
now been carrying on the business Of
the institution for over a year. since
! the incumbency Of Mgr. O'ConnelI as
president of the university. The resig-
nation Of Mr.. Waggsman will therefore
nScessitate no change in financial
II ethOds.
Announced Yesterday.
Mr. Waggaman's resignation as treas
urer and member OF the board Of trus-
tees did not become public until yester-
day. although ii went into effect about
September l. His resignation was re-
Que5ted by Cardinal Gibbons. as chan
cellor OF the university.
The demand for Mr.. Waggaman's res
ignatiOn causes no surprise among
those familiar with the case. Three
weeks II became known, and was told
in The Times that the financial board
OF the institution had assumed charge
of the duties Of treasurer. For over a
year Mr.. Waggaman has been moth
ing more than treasurer in name.
Intended to Resign.
Irving Williamson. attorney for Mr..
Waggaman. in speaking Of his resIgna-
ton, said his client had intended to Of
fer his resignation. and would have
done so. had the request for it not been
