SAGE BEFRIENDED INDIANS
Educated Fifteen Greek, Cherokee
and Choctaw Girls in Territory

In Indian Territory the death of
Russell Sage is considered to have re-
moved a benefactor who will long be
remembered by some of the Indians
of the Five Tribes. Mr. Sage's first
visit TO Indian Territory was in 1888,
when, with Jay Gould and others, he
made an inspection trip over the Mis-
souri. Kansas 4 Texas railroad, which
the Goulds then controlled, II was
in 1883 that Mr. Sage sent private
ear to Indian Territory to take Rf-
teen Indian girls from the Territory
to Mortified to attend school there.
These girls were from the Creek,
Cherokee and Choctaw nations, Sew
eral of them are educated and tai
ented women, still living in the Ter
rtory.
| lSSS the old Creek mission school
at Tallahassee, fifteen miles north
west of Muskogee burned causing
eleven Indian children to be thrown
out of school, and twenty-eight of
them had no homes to which to go.
Miss Alice Robertson, whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently appointed as
postmistress of Muskogee, was then
in charge of this school. She went
to New York, saw Sage in his office,
and succeeded in getting him to send
the twenty-eight Indian children to
Carlisle until they graduated. One of
these was Ben Marshal who now
owns the finest fruit farm in the
Creek nation.

% In referring to the various arti-
cles about the disturbances in Mexico.
| woul say there is positively no such
movement as is mentioned, or even a
feeling Of that kind here in the capi-
tai, nor any part of this section of the
country.
THAT there may exist an animosity
against the Americans in the north, in
the state of Chihuahua, ! do not know,
nor do doubt that, as the class of
Americans who 90 there as rule
would arouse the an mostly of the an
els if they ever got heaven. They.
however. don't usually get so far.

society as is spoken Of, nor the feel
ing. "Mexico para los Mexicanos, !"
and can assure you that foreigners
are moie safe. aad better protected,
than in any part of the new world.
81 have lived here now over six
years, and although | have had on
several occasions to punish Mexicans,
and even severely, | have always been
met with respect, and have never
found the least lack Of good will to-
ward myself, or foreigners in general
"That man has a hatred against
another man is natural. here as well
as anywhere else, and that it is usu-
ally the fault of the man who is hated.
"In regard to travel in Mexico, |
would say that tie Mexicans are not
at a disadvantage. as On all trains in
Mexico there are conductors and por-
tiers who speak Spanish. and as a rule
the Mexicans speak English. so il is
not necessary for a foreigner to speak
Spanish. or Mexican to learn Eng
lish to make hisef understood by rail
road officials.
