TO RECORD NO TAX DEEDS
Provision Must First Be Made for
Redemption

Muskogee.I. T-R. P. Harrison,
clerk of the United States court of
the Western district, announced that
he will REGARD no tax deeds to town
lots in the city of Muskogee that
have been sold for taxes, taking the
position that he can find nothing in
existing laws in Indian eTrritory au-
thorizing him to record such instru-
ments.
The city Council of Muskogee on
February IL, 1904, passed an ordin-
ance providing for the assessment
and collection of taxes, and supposed
ly making provision for the sale of
property for delinquent taxes, its re-
demption by the original power, and
the issuance of tax title in case the
owner failed to redeem it, Clerk Har-
rison, however, upon examining the
ordinance states that in his opinion
the ordinance provides no way by
which the property can be redeemed
or transferred under tax title, as
no officer is stipulated in the ordin-
ance who is authorized to record such
transactions.

Senator Beveridge Says Committee
Will Not Report 1t This Session
CONFEREES CANNOT AGREE
Kansas and Missouri Members are
In Hot Water Gould Have
Saved Oklahoma.

Washington,-The outlook for
statehood legislation is beginning to
discourage some OF the friends of the
measure. who until now have been
extremely sanguine OF the passage of
some form of legislation that would
admit Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. whether the other two terri
tories were admitted or not.
A severe danper has been put upon
the situation by the fact that Sena-
tor Beveridge, the head of the confer
ees having the bill in charge. recently
declared in private that the confer
ence committee would make no report
at this session. The statement was
made to members OF congress who
have been standing by the admins
tratiOn policy up TO the present time,
and who were severely nonplusSes
by the senator's statement. The at
titude on the part OF the Indiana SEN
ator is creating a vast deal of sur
prise among the members, as Bever-
idge is substantially under pledge to
the majortv in the senate to do all
in his power TO make the house re-
cede from its position, and his Sc
lection as a member OF the confer
ence committee would have been con-
tested by Senator Foraker il there
had been any doubt as to his course.
