DRAMA, WITH AN INTERLUDE.
Belasco and Brady Had Tilt About
the Trust

The American Dramatists' Club cele-
brated the past. present and future of the
American drama last night by means of a
dinner in New York city. David Warield
was the guest of honor, and he made one
of his infrequent speeches. George AIDE,
Bronson Howard, David BeIasco J. /. G..
Clarke Henry De Mile and Edwin Milton
Royle contributed to the flow of soul.
An interlude by Manager William A.
Brady and David Belasco closed the ban
quet. Mr.. Brady was 1ocularly introduced
to speak to the toast, The Greek Drama. :"
He told how he had refused the guest of
the evening engagement legitimate
actor once. He closed by referring to the
fact that the big men of the theaters in
New York had, like Lochinvar, come out of
the west. And it will be only when the
day comes that the young dramatict COM
ing to New York can obtain a hearing, as
did Frohman, Belasco and myself from
San Francisco twenty years ago and as
does Mr.. Royle from the outside out there
today, that the american drama and the
American theater become great.
Here Mr.. Belasco rose to his feet and ex-
claimed, Why do you link my name with
the names of Frohman and Klaw and the
rest of that syndicate gang? What's the
use of talking about giving a hearing to
the young American dramatist when the
baneful syndicate has so tight hold on so
much of the American stage?'
Mr.. Brady hesitated moment, and then
replied: Let me point out that while Mr.
BeIasco and his associates are putting up
very worthy fight, they must remember
that all the right in the controversy Is not
on their side. I grant that the combina-
ton of five or six men together to control
the theatrical output of the whole country
is a very cruel thing, yet we must not close
our eyes to the fact that this Is the ten
dency, the tendency to cooperation, to
combination, that rules every trade in our
country. That it has had some good eff
fects must not be denied
But fraud and graft? Do you mean to
say those are necessary in the theatrical
business? Do you think they are eharac-
tertstic of business in the country at
large?" returned Belasco hotly
Yes, they are" replied Brady, land for
proof of that all you have to do is to con-
slider the revelations now being made In
our own city about the big insurance com
panies."
Il have nothing to gain from fraud and
graft, returned Belasco. They have never
been necessary to me, and I'm surprised
that you admit that you stand for them
You do have to stand for that You know
that you've got to report tomorrow or the
trust will kick you out You've got to take
their orders"
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Belasco," said
Mr.. Brady. Il do not have to stand for one
thing that offends my self-respect, and you
know ttP'

RECH ABITES' RALLY
STIRRING SPEECHES IN CAUSE OF
TEMPERANCE.

The first of the series of meetings which
is to be held during the winter under the
auspices of the Independent Order of Rech-
abites OF this city was held last evening in
Concordia Hall. corner of 9th and streets
northwest, and was marked with enthu-
siasm for the cause of temperance. w. w.
Burlew called the meeting to order. and
after the opening prayer by Rev. ]. B.
Clayton he introduced n. E. Vowles as
chairman There were several stirring
speeches made during the evening, which
were interspersed with music of a high
character. 1t was announced in the course
of the meeting that several well-known
speakers will address the future gather
ings. At the meeting to be held next Sun
day evening at 7:30 o'clock Representative
n. w. Hale of Tennessee will make the
address. Representative ]. Adam Bede or
Minnesota will also deliver a talk on tenn
perance in the near future, and it is ex-
pected 20 obtain several other temperance
speakers of national reputation. The
president of the ". C. T. y. will have

PEOPLE ARE AROUSED
INTEREST IN INDIAN TERRITORY
IN THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.

Mr.. Charles j. Happier, formerly clerk to
the Senate committee on Indian affairs and
now of this city, has just returned from
trip to the Indian territory and the Pa
clfic coast
Mr.. Kapper says that erywhere he
went in the Indian territory he was met
constantly with the inquiry as to the
chances for favorable action at this ses-
sion of Congress on the statehood propo-
sition. The people, he said, are thoroughly
aroused on this question and their inteli-
gence, material wealth. numbers and en-
terprise make them In every respect worthy
of admission into the union of states. 1t
is believed throughout the territory that
Congress will grant them statehood early
In the present session. It Is the opinion
of Mr.. Happier that Oklahoma and Indian
territory will be admitted as one state.
Few Indians in the Towns.
"In the two territories there are about a
million and a half of people, of whom about
10000 are Indians, as the term is used in
that country said Mr.. Happier today
"Of these 10000 Indians only 10000 are
full bloods, and of the balance some have
only as much as a sixty-fourth of Indian
blood. In very few towns is any Indian life
seen at all and the blanket Indian simply
does not exist In any part of the territory.
THE full-blood, it Is noticeable. always
keeps away from the towns, making MS
home along the creeks and rivers and
screening himself In the wooded country
as far as possible. Except for the infusion
of Indians all the people of the two terri
tories are Americans and an unusually
large number native born. In business
ability and enterprise l found they were
the equal of any people anywhere in the
United States The territory Is unusually
rich in products of the soil and the mines.
Coal, stone, lead and oil are to be found
in almost nexhaustibie ). quantities and
every mineral almost except gold and s:l-
yer. The cotton land is as, fine asscan De
found in any of the southern states and
heavier than the average southern lands
Natural gas abounds and is piped into
many towns.
Cities and Towns Growing.
"'The cities and towns of the Indian ter
ritory 1 found to be going ahead very rap
idly. Muscogee, Tulsa, South McAlester
and Ardmore are advancing very fast.
With statehood property values would ad-
vance almost Immediately 25 to 40 per cent.
The people in the surrounding states in
great numbers are awaiting statehood, be-
ing held back now to some extent by oo-
structionS in the way of freedom of enter
prise that statehood would remove. IL
the restrictions at present on sale OF IN
dian lands except to their homesteaus,
which it is proposed shall be forever in
alienable, be removed, the farmers and mer-
chants in the adjoining states will be quick
to rush in and make their homes in the
new states. They will afford the Indian at
the same time lesson in thrift, and both
the territory and the Indian predict wiz
receive wonderful impetus. The new
state of Oklahoma very quickly will take
rank as one of the most progressive and
rich states in the Union"
