Bixby Talks about the Work Of the
Commission

Muskogee, May 25.--The work
Of the government in administering
upon the estates of the FIVE civiliz-
ed tribes of the Indian Territory,
aggregating in area twenty million
acres and in value hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, practically, is at an
end. June 3oth the Dawes COM
mission, under whose direction the
policy Of the government has been
made effective, will pass out Of ex-
istence.
The making Of citizens Of the
people Of the Indian Territory has
involved radical legislation by CON
gress. the labor Of hundreds of men
and women. twelve years, and has
cost the United States one million
dollars. With the passing Of the
Dawes commission will begin the
new Indian Territory, which may
look to a state government to work
out the solution Of the problems
that remain.
1t IS certain that nc other COM
mission created by congress in
recent years has been subject to so
much fault-hnding as has the com
mission Of the FIVE civilized tribes.
The work that will remain after
the commission is dissolved win be
disposed Of under the direction Of
an official to be designated by the
secretary Of the interior and the
understanding in Muskogee, where
the headquarters Of the commission
is located, and also in Washington,

Every Detective In Chicago Assigned To
Police Duty

Chicago. May 25.- Efforts to
increase the force of police on act
i've duty guarding wagons Of strike
bound business establishments were
carried on today with the utmost
vigor. To such an extent was this
done that every detective in the city
was said to have been assigned to
work ordinarily done by uniformed
police. Sixty detectives sergeants,
many Of whom had not carried a
club for fifteen years, found them
selves nlarcheng today from the city
hall armed with the regulation
hickory. The sergeants were taken
to various express company head
quarters.
c. S. Wicke, secretary Of the
Hines Lumber company, said today
that inside of a week one hundred
thousand men who work in wood
will be out of employment if the
tie-up of the lumber districts con
tinues. The wood working mills
are already affected.
Ed. Smith Of the hardwood
lumber firm of F. K. Grain company
asserted that already 5000 lumber
yard workers had been laid off on
account Of lack of business. Fifty
miles will be forced to shut down
within week. Lumber and saw
mills in the northwest are beginning
to curtail operations. All orders
for delivery of lumber to Chicago
have been cancelled.
President Shea of the teamsters'

St. Petersburg, May 25-Admiral
Avellian, head Of Russian admiral
ty depastment, confirms the Assoc
lated Press dispatch saying Vice Ad,
miral Rojestvensky is steaning
north to give battle to Admiral
Togo. He considers it possiblethat
news the two fleets have met may
be received any day
In an interesting interview Ad.
miral Avellian reafirms the official
denial Of the reports that Rojest-
vensky has broken down and asked
to be relieved. Avellian says
Rojestvensky sent detailed reports
OF the conditions of his own health
and of the health of the crews OF
his ships. The constant tension
and hard work Of the past few
months have been a great strain to
the admiral's health.
Even before he left, said Ave
llan, =" Roiestvensky was sufferer
from kidney trouble but his health
is now worse. AS matter of fact

it is not Rojestvensky but Vice
Admiral Voelkersam who suffered
from the stay in the topics. The
appointment of Vice Admiral Bire-
lief as successor to the Vice Admi-
raj Skrydoloff at Vladivostok will
in no wise affect Rojestvensky's
status. The latter's mission as
chief Of the feet is to take it to
Vladivostok. There will be no an
tagonism when he gets there. The
two admirals are on excellent terms
which began long ago when Rojest-
vensky served under Birlieff, both
are discipliarians and Rojestvensky
will give his superior the same
obedience that he demands of his
subor dinates.
Do you antipciate sea fight
soon3" the admiral was asked.
He replied: Certainly. The
japanese cannot afford TO allow
Rtjestvensky to reach Vladivostok
without an engagement. I person
ally expect it in the near future
though l admit the admiralty
knows nothing Of Rojestvensky'
stracegy or plans, the superior
having accorded him complete free
dom of action. Possibly it is his
purpose to seek Admiral Togo and
force fight but it is more probable
that Rojestvensky is bound for his
base at Vladlvostok. However, |
can say nothing definite on this

Togo might Intentionally allow

and said:
The story Of Port Arthur will
not be repeated. Rojestvensky is

he gets to Vladivostok he will not

POLICE COURT IS BUSY
Judge Grisscy Dispensed Justice to a
Big Bunch

Judge Grigsby's court was a
busy place. There was large
crowd of spectators. Wearing a
large smile and gorgeous bouquet
the Judge was in a gooG humor
and had his hands full to keep ac-
count of the fines that poured in.
Eight street tax cases came up.
Five of these were dismissed on
showing by the parties that they
were exempt by reason of age or
other disability. The other three
plead guilty and were fined one
dollar and costs each and were also
required to pay the tax, making
the total amount collected from
them $685. each. About twenty
other warrants Of the same nature
are out and these parties will be
dealt with In the same manner.
Three parties were arrested last
night for obstreperous cond uct.
Mute Weaver resisted the officers.
He paid $I2.35 for his fine. Sol
Roller was fined $7.55 for being
drunk and disorderly and Harris

object Of the federal government

St. Petersburg, May 25.-The
admiralty has no information con-
hrmatory of the Manila report Of
the defeat Of Admiral Togo south
of Formosa. While it is considered
possible that there may have been
a brush between scouts, the idea Of
an open battle with Togo is not
credited in the best informed naval
circles where the opinion is express
ed that Admiral Togo would not
dare risk bringing his battleship
division so far south to meet Ad-
miral Rojestvensky. According to
the admiralty's calculations, Roj.
estvensky should now be far out
on the Pacific, almost thousand
miles northeast of the place where
the battle is reported to have oc-
Cured.
An admiral of high rank said to
The Assorted Press this after
noon: eve have known for some
time Rojestvensky would not at
tempt to pass through the Straits
of Formosa, where the waters are
shallow and could easily be mined
ahead Of his ships. Rojestvensky
will undoubtedly, keep far out at
sea to avoid torpedo attacks. A
wide detour will also make it harder
for the japanese scouts to commun-
icate with Togo. However, ex-
pect news of a battle within ten
days"

that she went away to be mar

since died. No embarrassing

among the peasants it is con-
