WOULD SAVE OKLAHOMA
NATURAL GAS

The Tulsa commercial club in
augurated movement for
the protection Of Oklahoma gas
from the invasion OF foreign cor
porations by calling a meeting to
take place next Wednesday in
Guthrie, in which every CONNER
cial club in the two territories is in
vited to take part.
1t is proposed to have drafted in
the constitution clause prohib.
biting the piping of gas outside
the boundaries of the proposed
state. 1t is understood that the
Kansas Natural Gas company is
buying great numbers Of leases
with the ultimate intention of pip
ing gas 10 Kansas City. St. Louis
ard other points for domestic pur.
poses. The supply Of gas in Kan
sas may in few years be on the
decline. and this company is prepar-
Ing for the contingency. Other
compau'cs IS have intentions Of pump
ing gas from the Big Ramona field
to supply factories in Southeastern
Kansas which must of necessity
close down when the Kansas yield
is exhausted.
The people Of Oklahoma believe
that if factories are TO be maintain
ed by their gas they should be IN
Oklahoma. The Tulsa field is
developing rapidly. hardly a day
passing without new wells being
brought in. AS the population in
creases, however. there is heavy
drain on the supply. Moreover
the new state is making strong
bids for additional manufacturing
concerns.

club asking the Chickasha club I,

BOLD FESTIVE COYOTES
Come to Town after Poultry and Get
Buckshoi.

For several days the hen roosts
10 the neighborhood Of Third and
Illinois ave.. have been depleted by
nocturnal visitation from maraud-
ers Of some sort. It was mystery
at irst but on Saturday night
pair of gay eoyottes were seen
skulking about. At the time
there were no fire arms in the
neighborhood and they were allow
ed to escape. The wolves evidently
enjoyed the flavor Of town poultry
for last night they came again. but
instead of getting chickens, they
got lead. The landlord at the Klou.
dyke roomiug house was on gaurd
with shot gun aud he brought
down both of she of the visitors.

BOOZE MEN WILL FIGHT
Expect Something to be Doing when
Special Agent Returns

Tulsa. l. T., Dec. 3.-Some-
thing is going 10 happen III the liq-
uor traffic next week, with spec
ial agents, A. T. johnson, of
Washington, d, c., comes to the
territory and tries to close all the
Uno. Ino and other..joints that sell
weak booze. The brewers are
back and the joint keepers and say
they expect to fight the case to a
finish.
Mr.. johnson is the gentlemen
who was sent down to the Indian
Territory by congress several
months ago, with sas,oo to put
stop to the selling of whisky in
the territory. He, accompanied
by the United States Marshall. Leo
Bennett and twenty-five deputies
raided every town in the nortAern
part OF the territory and gave the
Uno and Ino joints warning to dis
continue selling cider. red ink, pc
runa an 4 other beverages. But
the joints did not stop any longer
than the oficers were ont of town.
and commenced again. This time
the hreweries are back Of them and
expect to make test case out of
the arrests made.
John Horton, wholesale agent
for Uno in Tulsa said today that he
was backed by the Hines. Imperial
and Rochester breweriss. capitsliz-
ed at two millions of dollars and he
did not expect to be bulIdozed by
any special officers sent down here
from Washington. THAT fellow
Johnson is sore because he spent
four months in the territory last
summer aud was not smooth
enough to get onto where the
whisky was being sold ami now he
proposes to come back down here
and try to break up the Uno
joints" said Horton.
From the best information it
seems that Judge Horton has Civ

Washington. Dec 3-Both honses
of Congress met at noon today for
the short session. EARLY in the day
the capital had the appearance of
great activity. The first day of
the session never develops much Of
interest but no day session seems
to possess greater charm for the
average citizen. Today was no
exception to the rule. The great
building is in excellent shape, hav
ing been thoroughly renovated
both inside and outside during the
recess. Senator's and members Of
the House began to l-vive early.
The opinion IS generally expressed
that tue short session would wit

Jas. McDonough. the retiring
master mechanic Of the Oklahoma
division of the Rock Island, has
been the recipient of numerous ex
pressions Of appreciation and
friendship during the past few days
The last surprise came last night

chest Of sterling silver. consisting
OF four sets ef spoons, knives and
forks etc. and a cut glass water
pitcher and tumblers were the
gifts. "Chummy'' Fields made
the presentation speech in neat
manner. Mr.. McDonough was
completely overwhelmed by the

PUBLISHER
REFUSES
TO PUBLISH LICENSE NOTICE FOR
THE LINE HOUSE SALOON
WEST OF CHICKASHA
GIVES REASON FOR POLICY
Thinks There is no Excuse for a Line
House Resort

Under the Oklahoma law, saloon
license must be published in a
newspaper and the courts have up
held the right of the publisher to
refuse to publish the same. The
Anadarko Tribune last weak con
tainsd the following;
"The Tribune Wednesday re.
fused to publish the license for the
Line saloon known as Cooks
place, (" in spite OF the fact that
sixty-one names were signed to
the petition. In doing so it had
in mind the best interests Of caddo
county. While it has been possible
by various means. to secure a ma
jority OF the resident tax payers Of
Hilisboro township as signers Of
this petition we are loath to be.
lieve that It really voices the senii
ment Of any rural community in this
county In cities the excuse can
be offered that saloons are neces.
sary evil. but in farming districts,
without police protection. this pre-
tense is removed. It seems almost
impossible that sixty-one citizens Of
thar township would 50 tar forget
their duties to their hores as to be
ine6erent to the makeup Of the so.
ciety in which their families must
necessarily come in contact.
This statewent can be emphasiz.
cd when il ID taken int3 considera-
ton that these men are we'll aware
OF the conditions that existed when
this saloon was run at previous
time. Within four miles Of Chick
asha the resort derived its revenue
room Chickasaw toughs and pro-
stitutes. Women were time and
time again iusulted on the public
highways. The purpose Of the
Line saloon is to defeat the law.
While situated in Oklahoma, the
the Indian Territory furnished the
patrons, and Oklahoma reciprocal
ed by prosecuting the criminals.
The policy OF the Tribune in
this instance has been changed.
The publishing Of a saloon license Is
for the protection Of the pubic,
and for this reason we have prev
iously waived our right to at arlit-
rariIy upon a technicality Of law,
believing that the result of such
stand would eventually cause its
repeal. We think however. that

at.Iarge demands the abo fishing OF

THE SENATE
COMMITTEE
AT WORK ON REPORT AS TO RE-
STRI cTIONS ON SALE OF
INDIAN LANDS.
A RADICAL MODIFICATION
WIN be Recommended Forecast Of The
Committee Report.

Washington, Dec. 3.-There is
excellent reason to believe that The
Senatorial committee which recent
ly made an investigation of con
ditions in indian Territory will re-
commend radical modification Of
the law with respect to the restric-
tions on the sale of Indian lands.
Most of the members of that COM
mittee have returned to the city
and The work of preparing the re-
port is now in progress. Nothing
can be said as to what the detailed
Recommendations Of this report will
be, but what the members say in
private conversations leaves little
doubt that the report will make
these recommendations:
Removal Of the restrictions on
the surplus lands of the mixed
breeds absolutely; removal Of the
restrictions on the homesteads Of
the mixed breeds waen they apply
for it and prove themselves COM
petent to manage their own affairs;
removal of the restrictions on the
surplus lands Of the full. bloods
when they apply for it and prove
themselves competent to manage
their own affairs.
1t is not improbable that the
committee will also recommend thst
under certain limitations and con-
ditto the full bloods be permitted
to lease parts of their homesteads.
Senator Clark Of Wyoming, who
was chairman of the committee,
said this afternoon the sentiment Of
the people Of Indian Territory is
overwhelmingly in favor Of remov-
ing the restrictions on the surplus
lands of the mixed breeds, as we'll
as on the surplus lands of the full
bloods under certain limitations.
Senator Clark is in favor Of that
course. He also favors modifica-
tion of the law which will permit
the leasing of parts of homesteads
when 1t is shown that the home.
stead is larger than the owner can
cultivate. A majority of the COM
mittee are said to have reported
the conclusions that the removal of
the restrictions isnot only essential
to the welfare of the prospective
State, but that it will promote the
best interests Of the Indians them
aelves.
