Census Bureau Makes Public Manu-
featuring Statistics For Two
Territories.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The
Bureau of the Census has just
made public the statistics of man
ufactures for 1905. OF the four
Territories which it is purposed to
bring into the Union as two
States. These figures show that,
if joined, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will have as State far
greater manufacturing impor-
lance than perhaps any of the
States had at the time of their
admission.
The value of Indian Territory 8
manufactures last year, for ex-
ample, was $1,000, ,451, an in.
crease of more than 200 per cent
over the value of the manufac- :
lures of 1900. The value of Ok
lahoma's manufactured products
last year was S16, ,549, ,656, an, in
crease in five years of 200.6 pei
cent, or just .02 per cent less
than the increase in Indian Ter
ritory
Thtre are 466 manufacturing
establishments in Indian Terri
tory, an increase of 100 per cent,
and 657 in Oklahoma, an increase
of 107 per cent, In Indian Ter
ritory the capital invested in
manufacturing is S5,016,654, ar
increase of 215 per cent in five
years, and in Oklahoma S11, 107,

There are 2,257 wage earners

the city treasury.

Washington, Feb 10.--Pres.
ident Roosevelt himself is push
ing the investigation of alleged
fraud and corruption in connec.
tion with the officers of the five
civilized tribes in Indian Terri
tory. But for his personal inter-
ference indictments against sew
eral parties alleged to have been
engaged in illegal practices
would have been quasbed. Now,
however, acting under his direct
orders, the interior department is
pushing its Investigators with
increased vigor, and it is reliably
stated that in the near future a
number of new indictments will
be reported against not only sew
eral men already indicted, but a
number of persons whose names
have not heretofore been brought
into the cases, including a high
government official in Washing
ton.
"When it became known to the
President that the district attor-
ney for the Indian Territory had
been instructed to quash som in
dictments already found, he i'm
mediately sent orders counter
manding this proposed action.
He was led to this by information
received by him that after March
4, when the tribal relations OF the
five civilized tribes cease, certain
facts would be put into his pos
session which would strengthen
the hands of the government in
its efforts to bring to trial a num-
Der of persons guilty of gross
frauds perpetrated against the
Indians
1T is known that Secretary
Hitchcock has submitted to the
President and to Attorney Cen
eral Moody special report deal
ing with the whole subject, which
it is is said, gives such details as
to make it imperative for the
government to act. For obvious
reasons the report, for the pres
ent at least, will not be made
public, but Secretary Hitchcock
characterizes the disclosures it
makes as startling -
