COL. POWELL JUBILANT.
Discussion Of the Oklahoma Indian
Territory Elections,

Col Sam Powell of Wagner, l. T., who
was here for long time the representa-
tive Of the people in the Indian Territory
who desired to continue territory or indie
pendent from Oklahoma as a state, has
returned to the city. Col. Powell was for
several terms member of the democratic
congressional committee for the territory.
His political affiliations account perhaps for
the ardent enthusiasm with which he now
views joint statehood, for the people OF
Indian Territory feared that their demo-
cratic community would be overshadowed
Fby republican Oklahoma, a fear which cor
responded exactly with the hope and expec-
tation Of the republicans.
ITS all over now" said Col Powell, ex-
ultingly, at the National last evening
oklahoma is democratic and will continue
democratic for many years. The republi-
cans thought they had US fixed under the
enabling act and so did many of US. In ar
ranging the districts for the election Of
members of the constitutional convention
they gave the two territories the livelest
example of gerrymander you ever heard
of-all sorts Of shoestring districts to make
it certain that the Indian Territory end of
the new state shouldn't have a fair show
and that the republicans would have an
immense majority in both branches of the
legislature and elect at least four out of
the five representatives.
well, you know how they slipped up.
The details were simply awful. They car
ried just IL Of the 112 members of the con-
vention OF course, 1t is easy to tell what
will happen to them now. The constitu-
tional convention will fix the legislative
districts democratic for keeps, or at least
for many years
what did it? Well, the fact that the
republican territorial government was very
unpopular. and the territory naturally dem
ocratic did part of the business. But main
ly the Indians. They voted the democratic
ticket solidly. And fine citizens these In
dams will make. too. They are equal to
our other voters in property and educa-
tional qualifications-many of them well-to-
do, all honest and law abiding. With the
exception of a very few very aged per-
sons all the new voters can read and write.
I venture to say there is not an Indian
under eighty who cannot"
Col. Powell doubts, however, whether any
Indians will be elected to the United States
Senate or House, although several are
prominently mentioned and worthy. They
haven't wanted Office" he added. ''That
doesn't worry them as much as the white
voters. They have wanted to become full
citizens and are proud that they have at
last got there"

WANTS CHESBRO AND
YEAGER FOR PATTEN

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. H., December 15.-The last
attempt at a deal among the American
Leaguers fizzled out yesterday, when
Frank Farrell, attacking Joe Cantillon.
made strong effort to secure Case Pat
ten. Farrell missed a couple of trains
merely to make a play for Patten, and
laid strenuous siege to Cantillon in his
lair. Joe finally named his terms. Give
me Chesbro and Yeager," said he, land
you can have Patten, witbcat paying me
a cent of extra money"
They revived Farrell by pouring plenty
of water on him. and he said he would
think II over and write from New York.
Then he took the next train. Somehow
or other" said Cantillon pensively as Far
relrs coat tails futtered away on the
breeze. 81 don't think he'll accept the
proposition
1.-THE reason no trades were made at the
meeting" said Comiskey. lis mainly this:
Everybody was afraid of every one else
when ii came to so large gathering. II
any trades had been made they would have
been discussed, and the fellow who got the
hot end of deal would have been guyed by
all the others. Hence modesty and BASH
fulness kept the magnates from accomplish
ing any real deals. l expect to hear of
sundry trades being brought off quietly and
by mall
II is not hard to see just what the differ
emit American League clubs need by taking
census of their players, but 1t is a diff
cult matter to give them all Just what they
require. The Athletics need one more good
pitcher, unless Waddell comes back to full
form. and are up against 1t for a classy
third baseman. Boston, contrary to general
statements, does not need a first baseman
Grimshaw is good enough for any club.
and a trade of Grimshaw for Stahi would
simply change the first sackers not fill any
long-felt want. Boston's success for 1907
depends largely on the condition Of Collins.

JOCKEY IMPALED
ON PICKET FENCE

NEW ORLEANS, December 15-Jockey
Marsters was seriously, if not fatally, hurt
at the City Park race track yesterday aft
ernoon. While riding Grace George to the
post the filly ran away. He was thrown
and impaled on fence rail-
Stable attendants standing near the scene
of the accident took the boy from the fence
and carried him to the jockeys room. His
left side was badly lacerated by the picket
fence and it was feared that he was hurt
internally. He was removed to his home
and attended by physician.
The mishap was due to sudden mad
frenzy on the part of Grace George. This
two-year- old FLY took it into her head to
run away before the start and she made
the circuit of the track three times before
she stopped. While Marsters was in the act
of pulling her up near the end of the Jour-
ney he swung out of the saddle. His long
trip had completely exhausted him. and
just when the tilly was slowing down to
jog he lost his seat and grip on the reins.
Grace George was Immediately caught
and led back to the stewards stand. She
was weak and weary from her wild
flight that the officials ordered that she be
withdrawn.
All bets on her were lost AS she was as
high as 100 to 1 in the betting not much
money was lost

their opponents that they won.

HAS RECORD FOR CRIME
HACF-BREED INDIAN CHARGED
WITH NINE MURDERS.
SOME DIAB0LICAL DEEDS
Tortured Woman Until She Told
Where Money Was Hidden, and
Then Killed Her.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 1.-Two hold
ups of the Northern Pacific railway
in Montana last year, nine murders
and several desperate robberies are
to be charged against Johnny Mclean,
a half-breed Indian, as soon as he is
released from the Walla Walla pen
itentiary, where he is serving a year
for attempted murder.
County Attorney Pendergast of
Okanogan county, Sheriff j. B. Thomas
and Detective ]. S. Hindman, of the
Northern Pacific railway, announced
that they had completed the chain of
evidence upon which they expect to
convict Mclean. In n of the train
robberies an express messenger was
killed. The murder of a wealthy
rancher In Montana, whose safe con-
tanning $4,000 was carried away by
robbers, is attributed to Mclean. as
are also the murder and robbery of
two miners in British Columbia.
A rancher named Murray, residing
near C~onconully, was also an alleged
victim of the %half-breed. The most
serious crime charged against Mclean
is the murder of Judge A. NJ. Lewis,
a Lincoln county rancher, who was
known to keep a large sum of money
in the house, and the torture of his
wife, the sOles of whose feet were
slowly burned, until she revealed the
hiding place of 10000, which the rob-
bers procured after clubbing her to
death.
Ed Condor, who is said to have as
sisted Mclean in this robbery, was
subsequently murdered. and the de-
tectives hope to establish that Nc
Lean killed him so that they would
have to divide the spoils.

RUSSELL SACE'S MONEY
IN LEAVING WEALTH TO WIFE HE
GAVE IT TO CHARITY.
WILL SCATTER LAVISHLy
AS the Husband Accumulated Riches
the Wife Studied Philanthropy,
Family Physician Says.

New York, July 28.-Russell Sage's
fortune, estimated at from $4,000, 900
to $50, 600, 900, has been left virtually
to charity. Those close to Mrs. Sage,
to- whom practically the entire estate
was bequeathed, declare with seeming
authority that the millions will be dis
tributed in aid of worthy objects and
reached by the financier and his wife
long ago.
AS Mr.. Sage's life was given up to
the accumulation Of riches, SO the
years of Mrs. Sage have been devoted
to a study of philanthropy, and what
he gathered she expected to scatter
with a lavish hand.
Says Mr.. Sage Knew.
DIR. Schmuck, who has been the fam
lily physician, said in an interview:
In leaving his fortune to Mrs. Sage,
Sage has left it to charity. She will
distribute it. How could a woman of
such advanced years spend a thou
sandth part of 1t herself? Mr.. Sage
knew his wife had made a study of
philanthropy, and that she knew much
more than he did about it. He knew
that in leaving his fortune to her she
would take advantage of this study
she had made and distribute the for
tune wisely. Despite the impression
which the will may have given, the
fortune has been left to charity. l do
not know Mrs. Sage's exact plans.
That she has certainly some plans l
do know. Her gifts will be along
broad lines. as she is deeply inter
ested in educational work, in various
of charitable enterprises, in the
soldiers and sailors, in the Young
Mems Christian association and in
hospitals. That is all l can say to
indicate what will become of the for
tune"
