NEW SURVEY NEEDED
Indians Who Have Lived For
Years on Land and I'm
proved it Lose by
Others Filing
First.

The are some rather tangling CON-
plications arising in the Cherokee ma
tion which promise some good hard
work before brought to close. The
tangle Is over Indians filing on allot-
ments where other members Of their
tribe had lived for years and improved.
1t Is difficult to foresee a remedy, as
under the conditions the one who files
first is given certificate Of allotment
which entities him to the land.
The real trouble is attributed to the
lack of an improvement survey Of the
eastern portion of the nation which
was not made on account Of the ap-
dropriatlon running cut. The eastern
part Of the Cherokee nation is where
all the trouble Of this nature is origin
ating.
An allotting party is now out from
the Tahlequah land ofiice alloting In
dians who have been arbitrary and
others who have neglected TO die on
their land. A majority Of the Indians
are old settlers who have lived on the
land and improved it ever since com
ing to the territory. In the mean
time while this party is allotting the
land to the Indian living on it, Others
OF their tribe are filing on the same
land at the Cherokee land Office.
This is more noticeable where the
land is valuable and an offer has been
made by white men to the resident
Indian for his allotment His shrewd
brother knows Of the offer and also is
aware the land has not been filed up
on so he hastens TO the land ofiice and
files on the land.
The first instance noted by the Of
ficials In charge Of this work was no.
ticed last week. A Greek and Chero-
kee Indian known as Creek Billy who
is enrolled on the Cherokee rolls, has
lived for some twenty years on tract
OF land east OF Tahlequah. The land
is highly improved and the Indian and
his family know no other home. Eight
of his children are buried there. Re-
Gently an offer was made to Creek
Billy by white man for his aliot-
ment, but the Indian would not listen
to an offer. Another member OF his
tribe, however, having not yet taken
his allotment, hastened to the land
ofie and filed on this land, which
makes him the rlghtful owner

WAR TO THE DEATH.
Pittsburg Club Turns Against Presi-
dent Pulliam

War to the death has been declared be-
tween the Pittsburg Club and President
Harry e. Puiliam of the National League.
They do not speak they pass by and
matters came to crisis In Boston yester-
day afternoon, according to reports wired
from Boston by the club press agent to the
afternoon papers at Pittsburg.
1t appears that Puiiiam yesterday went
to Boston and remained the entire day and
evening, ignoring the Pittsburg club en-
tirely. Billy Locke. the popular little club
secretary. met Pulliam in the grand stand.
but was turned down cold. Pulliam passing
him without looking his way or speaking
This hurt, and when "Heine' Peitz hunted
Puiliam up and wanted to be reinstaeed
Pulliam turned him down.
In bitter article from Boston last night
one of the Pittsburg crowd is quoted as say
ing. Il can't understand why Pu liam came
to Boston. unless il was to get into an ar
gument with some of our players. He had
no business here that l can learn anything
about, and he ought to have been in New
York, deciding the cases against Donlin and
McGann. II he had wanted to be fair.
He did not permit the cases against Peitz
and Clymer to lie over long, and / can't
understand why he should not promptly at
tend to the New York cases. l am willing
to wager that he will not punish Mccain
as he deserves"

TRI-STATE WEAKENING.
Ready to Join National Agreement
Clubs.

special from Altoona Pa, says that
the days of the Tr-State League as an out
side organization are numbered. 1t is pre-
pairing to get under national protection. A
meeting of magnets is to be held In New
York this week to discuss the matter Of
taking in the Tri-State. and II they treat
the league fairly 1t is likely to embrace the
national agreement at once.
Altoona stands ready to go In, and so
do all the other teams. save Harrisburg
and Gainesville These teams say they
have all the money they need to keep up
good organizations. and they are not fa-
vorable to the proposition. However the
other clubs have suffered financial loss and
they are tired of bucking against organized
base ball any longer They have found that
1t did not pay. 1t was entirely too costly.
Altoona was ready for protection last win
ter. but the other clubs were not. They
see the error of their way now.
Harrisburg and Gainesville may be able
to hold up the matter until the close of the
season. but 1t Is certain that the Tri-State
League will be under national protection
next year.
1t has been agreed to place the Tri-State
in the third class. The men now with the
various clubs will be credited to them, and
VIII be immune from fines, blacklists etc
The majority Of them are contract Jump
ers. Any teams having claims on them
will have to purchase their release The
salary limit WILL be $1,000 and the price for
players $500.

PREPARING FOR REGATTA.
Patapsco Navy Looking After Details
of Rowers' Feast Next Month.

The members of the Patapsco Navy, the
general organization of the rowing clubs Of
Baltimore are busy perfecting the details
of arrangements for the thirty-third annual
regatta of the National Association of ANA
teur Oarsmen. which is to be held there
August II and H. The races will be rowed
upon the waters of Spring Gardens, a
branch of the Patapsco river, the course,
which has been laid off by one of the city's
surveyors, giving a practically straight mile
and a half and what Is said to be the best
course In the country for the longer races.
The Spring Gardens have little tide or
current and high banks on both sides give
protection from wind and fine vantage
ground for spectators. The vessels of the
city police department. together with reve-
nue. cutters and launches. will give the con-
testants an absolutely clear course at all
times. The indications are that the entry
list will be the largest In the history of the
regattas of the national association. and the
members of the Patapsco Navy deter
mined that BaItfmores reputation for hos
pitality shall not suffer at their hands.
