LEASE WILL BE RENEWED
Sale Of Usage Indian Lands Consid-
cred by Cabinet

Bale OF Usage ln01au LANDS OOnSld-
cred by Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s21.-Cereful
consideration was given to-day by the
President and members of the Cabi-
net 10 the proposed extension of the
ten year lease of oil rights on the
Usage Indian lands in Oklahoma.
Both the President and Secretary
Hitchcock have received in letters and
kilograms protests against the extern
sion Of the lease, because Ii is urged
the oil rights practically are controlled
b. the oil trust. Many of these pro-
tests have come from the Kansas
Legislature.
Ii has been decided, with the ap-
prOval Of the Cabinet, that il would
be unjust 10 some of the lessees, who
have acquired vested rights under con-
tract with the Indians, not to extend
the lease. Secretary Hitchcock told
the Cabinet il was not true that the
$4,000 acres agreed upon under the
proposed renewal included all of the
oil lands in the Usage Reservation.
he said il was quite likely all Of the
lands contained oil.
The announcement wds authorized
that the administration will stand by
the limited extension contained in the
Senate amendment TO the Indian ap-
ment provides that any allotments
which may be made Of the Usage reser-
walton in Oklahoma shall be made sub
Ject 10 the terms and conditions of q
lease dated March 16, 1896, given by
the Usage nation to Edwin B. Foster.
This lease was approved by the Secre-
tary Of the Interior, and through as
signments similarly approved, is now
owned by the Indian Territory Illu-
minating Oil Company. The extension
Of the Foster lease" for q term of ten
years TO the property actually de-
TelOped under the original lease is au-
thOrized by the amendment The lands
developed amount to about $50. 600
acres. No extension is authorized. of
the lease covering about $4,000 acres
Of oil fields that remain undeveloped.
The subject Of the proposed investi-
cations Of the operations of the oil
interests in the Kansas field was dis
cuSsed, but no definite conclusions
further than those already announced
were reached. The investigation will
be conducted by the Bureau of Cor
missioner Garfield. His report will be
made to the President for transmission
TO Congress later. 1t is quite certain
that if the facts developed by the in
quiry should warrant action by the
Government, the matter will be
brought Dy the President to the atten-
ton Of the Department of Justice
William T. Lethy, a member Of the
Council Of the Usage Indian tribe. in
z statement given out to-day, says that
the Indians are opposed TO the re-
newal Of the oil lease on their
lands upon the existing terms and are
protesting against a renewal. The
original lease given TO z. B. Foster
fol period of ten years, the state
ment says, was approved contrary to
the wishes Of the Indians. The state
ment asks that the President. order
an investigation TO disclose all the
facts.

Oklahoma Sees Danger in the Hold of

GUTHRIE. O. T, Feb. 2L-By a vote
Of Is TO 10 the lower house of the Leg
islature tonight passed a joint resolu-
ton, introduced this afternoon by SEN
ator Decker, memorializing President
Roosevelt TO investigate the blanket
lease Of the oil lands of the Usage ma
ton. q part Of Oklahoma, held by the
Indian Territory Oil Illuminating Com
pany, commonly believed, as the resolu-
ton states, to be a representative Of
the Standard Oil Company. 1t is ex-
pected the resolution will pass the up
per house tomorrow.
The perpetuation of the Usage lease,
il is asserted, will greatly injure the
commercial interests Of Oklahoma, as
well as those of the Usage Indian tribe
The reduction Of the lease from 1,500, 900
acres to 900 by the Senate commit
tee is condemned as a subterfuge, as it
is stated that it includes all the actual
oil and gas lands Of the reservation.

PASSENGERS TERRIFIED.

Meanwhile pandemonium prevailed
among the passengers in the forward
coaches. The latter, like the baggage
car, had been wrenched so that the
doors could not be opened by the
frenzied occupants, number of whom
made their escape from the car win
dows. The injured, of which there
were about fifteen, were not so fortu-
nate and were finally rescued through
holes cut in the bottom of the cars.
While this work was in progress
the engineer and the firemen had been
taken in charge by the passengers.
Engineer Thompson was soon on his
feet and assisting in aiding his in
jured companions, both of whom were
suffering a great deal from their
burns and bruises. After satisfying
themselves that Lowrie was dead ths
rescue party turned their attention TO
the wounded passengers, who were
rapidly being taken from the coaches.
While passing along the wreck En-
gineer Thompson discovered that the
oil from the engine. tank had escaped
and was slowly flowing down under
the coaches. 1t would require but
flash of fire to ignite the oil and once
ablaze it would soon have set fire to
the cars, probably roasting many of
the panic-stricken imprisoned pas
sengers.
Suddenly several of the passengers
who had escaped from the cars re-
allied the danger threatening those
inside the coaches and by advising the
latter of their danger greatly added
to the panic Engineer Thompson,
however, returned to the still chug-
ging engine and with the assistance of
several passengers managed to ex-
tinguish the oil burners and thus all
layed the fears of the other passen-
gers. The gas in the coaches was,
however permitted to burn all night,
for the majority of the passengers re-
fused to return to their coaches and
