 Bartlesville. L T., Nov 25.-The Senate Indian committee late Satur. day announced that the stress of pub lie business necessitated shortening its stay here. A night session was held until 12 o'clock when the sena- tors departed for Kansas City. en route to Washington.
 The committee arrived here Satur day morning from Tulsa. During the session set of resolutions, drawn uI by number of individual gas and oil operators. business men and ciu zens of Bartlesville and the nearby territory, and embodying their wants were presented to the committee.
 The resolutions favor the prohibit ing of any individual or corporation from leasing or controlling more than 4,S00 acres of oil or gas lands in the Cherokee nation of the Indian terri tory; opposes individuals and corpor ations obtaining large grants of gas lands, believing that the gas supply should be conserved and be used in the development of this section of the country
 Requesting that the rule now in force requiring oil and gas lessees to make financial showings before the approval of leases can be obtained be abolished because said rule has been found impracticable and has worked and is working great hard ship on the small producer as well as upon the Indian lessor.
 Asking that the advanced royalty provided for in the present depart mental form of oil and gas mining leases. be eliminated, because 1t causes the imposition of two rentals, which is asserted to be unjust.
 Favors a system that will allow the approval of leases by properly con. stituted authority in the Indian ter ritory.
 Opposing the general removal of restrictions on Indian lands. On this point the resolutions say: We be, lieve it to be best for the Indian and the development of this section of the country that restrictions upon the alienation of surplus lands be removed and that provision should be made for the removal of restriction upon homesteads in cases where the appli- cant clearly shows that such removal would result in his benefit and that he is competent to manage his own affairs.
 We believe that the removal of restrictions upon surplus lands should extend to the lands of minors. as well as those of adults, subject of course to the usual supervision by the pro bate court of the estates of minors"

They were tried before Judge Lawlor and convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary When Judge Lawlor came up for reelection November last Ruef and his adherents made bitter and strong fight against him and it was the nomination of two men as candi- dates for superior judge on both the republican and the democratic ticket in order to make Lawlor's defeat cer- tain, that brought the present prose cutions for graft to a focus Lawlor was elected judge and already some of the cases of some of the men indict ed have been assigned to him for trial.
