Five Year Lease
A Knotty Problem TO be Tested in
the Courts.

A purely legal question as 10
the ive-year lease provision Of an
act of Congress in regard TO the
Indians Of the territory which is
bound 10 come up sooner or later
is one Of more than usual interest
all over the country. It seems TO
be question in which the simple
wording Of the law defeats the
latter's purpose.
AS is well known, there is an
act which prohibits the leasing Of
an allot,ee's land for more than
FIVE years, and such is the wording
of the law. It does not say that
that no lease shall be made begin
ing in the future. for a period Of
FIVE years
Some attorneys say the law
contains no provision which
would, literally construed, pre-
vent an Indian from making a
lease today, beginning at the cx-
piration Of the first one. The
string could be continued and the
purpose Of the law defeated.
As the law is now construed.
though Il has not been tested,
no lease can ante date more than
6ve years from the date on which
the lease IS signed But the rul-
ing 81 the courts might make
change. and Ia tho opinion of some
lawyers would DO Durani

Two New Decisions
Waurika Townsite Case Decided
by Department Of Interior.


Two new and interesting ques-
tions have been decided by the
Department Of the Interior in the
approval of the recommendation of
the Dawes commission in the Wau-
rika townsite case, which was up
before the commission several
motnhs ago.
1t has been decidsd. first, that
there is authority for granting the
Unrestricted alienation Of the lands
Of a Choctaw minor for townste
purposes, and second, that there is
authority for granting the unres-
tricted alienation of lands in Indian
Territory for townsite purposes im-
mediately adjacent TO town and
as an addition thereto, where the
station house and town are located
near and adjacent TO the Indian
Territory line but not in the Indian
Territory, a portion Of the station
grounds, however, being in In
dian Territory. Neither Of these
questions had been up before, but
they are likely to recur again.
Waurika, /. T., is part Of
Waurika o. r., in the Chicka-
saw nation fifty miles west Of Ard
more. II is on the Rock Island
rrilroad The towns are practi-
cvlly one, though the territory
line separates them. There is no
postofiiee in the Indian Territory
town and its only claim to being
legally connected with the other
is that a part Of the stvtion grounds
is i'll Indian Territory

STANLEY HALL CONCERT

A. charming pupils concert for twc
pianos was given at Stanley Hall
Saturday evening, the concert-room
being filled with invited guests. The
participants were all pupils OF Miss
Blanche Strong and without exception.
acquitted themselves with credit. The
program was an ambitious one, COM
mencing with Schubert's .Marche
Militare," arranged for eight hands,
and played by Misses Mabel Farm
ham, Katherine Barr, Alice Brown
and Laura Robb. Miss Kathleen
Crane played a Sonatina by
Kuhlan Riedel. Misses Helen
Steele, Pauline Hospes and Clara Nc
Cune played the three movements OF
Mozart's Sonata in G.'' Miss Mar
jory Lovejoy gave a good interpreta-
ton Of the "Ramanza" from Mozart's
lie Rouet D'omphalep was exceed
ingly we'll played by Misses Elizabeth
Gilbert and Ethel Blanding. Miss
Josephine Curtis rendered Mozart's
Sonata in CT with good expression
and a beautifully clear technique.
Saint saens Danse Macabre" was
played with good spirit and fine exc
Beatrice Mitchell played the Adagio
from Mozart's minor sonata with
feeling and taste. The program
closed with the first movements Of
HGI1GS 3 SOllCGIlO LII "A ullllOI pldySQ
by Miss Katherine Gray. The COM
position is a brilliant one and was
played with great strength and fine
technique but in the piano passages
seemed occasionally lacking in a
certain desirable delicacy. Miss
Gray possesses all the elements of a
fine pianist, including that sine qua
non, temperament.
The instrumental program was
varied by three songs sung by Wilma
Morrill,, pupil of Mrs. Florence -.
Parks. She sang Tosti's "Preghiera'
as originally written and two songs by
Metcalf and G. B. Hawley. Miss Nor
rill has a warm mezzo soprano voice
of unusually good timbre and of vel
lvet-like smoothness. Attic she lacks
in a measure that finish and repose
which will come with maturity and
perience, she is already a delightful
and charming singer.

WENNERBERG CONCERT

About $500 people gathered at the
university armory yesterday afternoon
to attend the concert Of the Wenner-
berg Choral club. under the direction
Of Hjalmer Nilsson, given to secure
funds for the clubs trip to the st.

music of Swedish Festival day, June

musical settings of two psalms by
Wennerberg, q melodious but some
what commonplace chorus by Linblad.
and ''The Star Spangled Banner" as a
closing number. The chorus did not
sing as we'll as it has sung heretofore.
There was an occasional lapse from
key and an inattention, especially on
the part of the men, which the direct
or was obliged to sharply correct. It
was very evident that without good
deal of persistent and careful rehear-
sal the club will not come out OF the
st. Louis contest with flying colors. 5.
The ladies' chorus water Lilies,

voice is big and he uses it to good ad-

Gustaf Holmquist who sang Why Do

proved materially since he was last

and style, and his voice is gaining in

numbers were not SO distinctly suited
