PROBABLY ALONE
All the Others May Resign and
Leave Work to Him.

Senator Long called on the president
Monday and rendered the resignation
Of Ex-Governor Stanley as member
Of the Dawes commission, 10 take ef-
feet April l.
The president and Mr.. Long chat
ted at some length concerning the
Dawes commission and It's work. and
the former said he would not appoint
a successor 10 Stanley He added that
II other members resigned he would
not appoint their SUCCESSORS.
This means the dissolution OF the
Dawes commission without the inter

believes that the work remaining to

aid Of big commission, and he viii
carry out the recommendations Of the
Bonaparte report as well as he can.
Breckenridge and Bixby are expected
70 resign, leaving Needles probably
alone TO camplete the work that yet

this knowledge actuated the senate
