A Bic STEAL
Prevented by Senator LaFoIlette
When a Bill Affecting the Indians
Was About to Pass-InvoIVes
Millions and Government
Employee.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator La
Toilette, by a few quiet questions in
the committee on Indian affairs to-
day, brought TO light what~appears to
be one of the most gigantic steals ever
planned upon the Indian tribes. I'm
der the bill pending it is proposed to
dispOse-Of the coal lands of the ChOc-
taw and Chicasaw Indian tribes for
some nominal sum estimated at ST.
100000 or 100000.
These lands are really worth at
least $50,000,000 and will produce to
the Indians under the terms at which
they are now leased $105, 100000. The
bill would have been recommended
for passage today had not Senator La
Toilette asked the questions which
brought to light the "nigger.
Tomorrow it will be on for another
hearing ard at that time it is claimed
by attorneys representing the Indians,
evidence will be produced to show
that relatives Of men high in the in
terror department are interested in
the leases of these lands The bill
provides for the linal disposition OF
the affairs of the FIVE civilized tribes.
Senator Clark, member of the COM
mittee said, when the valuation was
made clear to him, that apparently
a big fraud had been thwarted. He
said the lands in question are worth
today $50,000,000 and will double in
value in ten years.
The Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf
railroad is the present lessee of the
land and would be the beneficiary
under the bill, which now bids fair to
die in committee. The railway attor-
neys have been lobbying for the bill
for weeks, but the attorneys of the
Indians have not been given a hear
ing.

AN OBJECT LESSON
If the Census Office Could Only Show
What Corporations Pay for the

Washington, Feb 13-There was a
good representation at today's meet

counts. Director North, Of the census
department, said:
tine most prolific source Of munic-
ipal graft, it's securest hiding place,
its most effective instrument in seek
ing immunity, is the chaos which ex-
lists in the classification Of municipal
accounts and the absence of uniform

he said neither graft nor waste is
possible under a Standardization OF

Governor to Sign Harlan
Bill Passed by the
Senate to Take Per
Gent System From

The County Officials
Lobby Fight the Bill
Hard But in Vain.
Women Can't Vote at
Temperance Elections

Columbus, o., Feb 13-The house
today passed the O'Rourke resolution
requesting Senators Foraker and Dick
to support the Roosevelt railroad rate
policy. The original resolution com
manded" the senators, but the Ian
guage was softened in committee. The
resolution obtained rs affirmative
votes and 46 members were absent or
refrained from voting. There were
no negatives.
The Briggs bill to permit women to
vote at all temperance elections was
defeated by SO 20 80. For two weeks
the w. c. r. U. has lobbied and pray
ed continuously for the bill and this
morning claimed a. majority. The
women charge treacilory and broken
promises.
The Harlan bill which takes from
the county auditors one per cent
fee on all school funds and saves about
$4,000 a year to the school system
was passed by the senate, which then
took recess for the enrolment of
the bill that 1t might go at once to
the governor.
Ii it is not signed before tomorrow
night the auditors will collect the
fee on the semi-annual collection. The
governor will sign the bill tomorrow
morning. The county officials lobby.
the most powerful in the state, made
a hard fight.
Another bill fiercely lobbied against
by the Wholesale and Retail Gro
GERS association, a senate bill to re-
strict justices of the peace to the town
ships in which they are elected, was
passed by the senate and goes to
the house. 1t is aimed against abuses
in large cities perpetrated by justices

MINERS DEMANDS
ARE LIKELY TO BE REFUSED BY
OPERATORS
The Two Forces Are Lining for the
Bitter Battle Which is Sure to
Come-Mitchell Is on
Hand.

New York, Feb. 13-President Jonn
Mitchell and the members of the scale
committee of the anthracite organiza
tions of the United Mine Workers of
America were in almost continuous
session at Ashland house today and
far into the night perfecting the de-
mands of the miners organization
which will be presented to the mine
owners at Thursdays session. When
final adjournment was taken the de-
mands were practically completed al
though they will be again gone over
tomorrow. Mr.. Mitchell advocated
policy of strict secrecy as to the ma
ture Of the demands, admonishing his
associates not to talk until after the
demands were presented to the operat
ors. The committee considered al
length all the resolutions and memor
ials adopted by the various mine
workers organizations, but it is under
stood it was decided that the scope of
the demands as already outlined viii
be adhered to.
The miners will ask, it is learned
tonight from creditable authority, that
the operators agree to the 8-hour work
day, an advance in wages and a con-
tinuation of the grievance boards to
which will be referred all the de-
mands that originate as the work of
mining progresses in the various
mines. This latter matter is still in
Go cto ha oh of
bone of contention at today's confer
ences. Just how far to go in this mat
ter is the question as it is realized
that the operators will fight against
any plan that they consider gives the
miners sweeping powers.
Mr.. Mitchell dominated the confer
ence today and his will was at all
times law He will, of course, be the
spokesman Of the miners at the con-
ference Thursday.
The first of the big operators to
reach this city for the conference was
President George F, Baer, of the Phil
adelphia & Reading company who ar
rived this afternoon. He went at
once to the Central building, in Lib.
erty street, Where he met President
Wilcox of the Delaware & Hudson and
w. G. Besler, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Central railroad
of New Jersey. They were closeted
together for several hours but posi-
lively declined to see representatives
Of the newspapers and in fact the at
taches of the building denied that Mr..
Baer or the other were in the city.
1t is understood late tonight that
the operators will decline most of the
demands of the union. They will not
consider for moment the question Of
an 8-hour day, holding that this de-
mand is simply concealed attempt
to secure a higher rate of wages per
hour They will also decline to rec
ognize the union as an organization.
Officials of the coal carrying roads
declare that the published statement
that they have on hand ten million
tons of coal is incorrect. They
place the amount at six million
tons and claim that this will be suffi-
cient to break the strike should it
come.
A number Of the soft coal operators
are in this city and will try to see the
hard coal operators tomorrow to urge
that the entire coal interests of the
country stand together to combat the
demands of the union.
