EXPOSED By LA toilette.
Alleged Scheme to Get Possession OF
Indian Lands.


Indian Lands.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator La
Toilette called attention in the senate
to an alleged effort to get possession
of 100000, 900 worth of Indian lands
in which relatives Of officials high uI
in the interior department are said tc
be directly implicated. The lands in
question are located in the Choctaw
and ChickasaW Nations of the Indian
Territory.
Prominently mentioned in connec
ton with the deal is the Choctaw
Oklahoma and Gulf railroad This
company is said to control a majority
of the leases covering 1O7 900 acres OF
coal lands in the neignborhood OF
South McAlester, l. T. AS operated at
present these lands are netting the
Indians about $14 an acre per year
and, according to statements made be-
fore the committee, will net at a low
estimate $500 an acre before ex-
hausted.
By the terms of senate amend
ment put into the Indian bill as passed
by the house these lands were to have
been sold to the lessees under an ap.
praisenlent made by a board appoint.
ed by the secretary of the interior and
the lessees, these two to choose a
third. The senate amendment to the
bill provided that Gin making such val
uation said appraisers shall not con-
slider any increased values of the lands
caused by improvements and develop
ments placed on them by said lessees. :"
If this "joker" had gone through. it
is charged by attorneys for the In
dams, it would have given the lessees
the right to purchase them for a song,
as the appraisement would have been
based on the value of the land twenty
years ago.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Secretary
Taft was before the senate committee
on the Philippines during the day and
was examined by Senator Hale con
corning the benefactions the Filipinos
have received from congress. The
senator said that a great deal had been
brought out concerning the obligations
of the United States to the Philippine
Islands and 1t was his desire to bal
ance the debit and credit sides of the
ledger to determine which is indebted
to the other. He said that if the ac
count Is found to be in favor of the
Fflipinos It does not seem worth while
to legislate further to disturb indus
tries In the United States The ad-
ministration Of the military and civil
forces of the United States since Ma
Mia was taken In August, 1893, was
reviewed by the senator's examination
Of the secretary. Among the benefits

move the Spanish yoke and bring
about good order and establish a gov
ernment; education of the people; or
.ganization of civil forces; aiding the
people by direct appropriation Of 49,

tenn; payment Of salaries in connec-
ton with the geodetic coast survey;
purchasing the friar lands to restore
them to the Filipinos on long time
payments and the admission free of
duty of 81 per cent Of their products.
ss Senator Hale called attention to the
small exports of the United States to
the Philippine islands in; comparison
to exports from other countries to the
islands and Secretary Taft admitted
chat these Indicate that the United
States portion Of the Filipino trade
sis, has been and will be SMALL He
explained this by saying that the Fill
pino people can buy foodstuffs from a
closer and cheaper market.
