TO PREVENT OUTSIDERS
Special to Daily Leader.


Davis. |. T., June lin anticipation
of early statehood, politicians are
growing more active, and the latest
thing in the way Of organization is the
Mutual Protective Association Of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. Fed
eral office holders are said to be be-
hind the movement and agents are out
securing members. Colonel o. A.
Wells OF Ardmore. member of the
executive committee of the Republi-
can party and leader Of the Republi-
can forces in the Chickasaw nation, is
believed to be at the head of the new
movement. when seen here today the
colonel said:
"This organization simply seeks to
build up and tie together a social and
political organization for the protec-
tion of white citizens of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations. We shall
make a strong stand against all form
OF graft and will endeavor to induce
better class of white farmers and
others from the old states. Our so
ciety is not strictly a political organ
ization, or machine, but we will, of
course, take up such matters when
they are reached. We feel that white
men, other than intermarried whites
should band themselves together for
mutual protection. and it will be our
aim to invite all good citizens to join
us on broad and liberal lines, political
ly and socially.
mo, | am not sanguine about state
hood. why should congress give us
statehood without first removing all
restrictions against the sale of Indian
lands? Where on earth would we get
our taxes from to run the state gov
ernment? am utterly opposed to
statehood until plan of taxation has
been found. Il would be a great cal
amity to the Indian Territory II state
hood should be granted Us without
making provisions for a sane plan OF
taxation We have had too much non
sense already about this business and
/ want some one to come forward with
proposition to take care Of the tax
alton question"

WORK HELD UP But
FOR A SHORT Time.
Aldermen Had Given a Permit to
Erect the Poles Along
State Street.

A number of workmen who we're
erecting poles for the Citizens Elec-
trio Light company, on State street,
were compelled to stop work, on ac-
count of an order from Alderman
Stacey. Patrolman William McDer-
mott noticed the men digging the
holes this morning, and later notified
the police station. Alderman Stacey
a communicated with, and on his
orders, a policeman told the men not
to erect any more poles. The fore
man went at once to the Office of the
Citizens company, and stated the case
to them. Immediately after, two of
the officials of the concern went to
Mr.. Stacey and showed him a map
with the location of the proposed
poles, and a permit signed by Alder
men Stacey and Grouse. The work
was then allowed to be continued.

RUNAWAY IN
A COLLISION.
Two Little Girls Had Narrow ES-
CapeS- Jumped from Wagon
Just in Time.

A horse owned by William II. Nc
Cormick, while standing at the Cen
trail railroad freight station this
morning, became frightened and
made a wild dash down Market street
knocking over a bicycle and smash
ing it, near Maple street. At Madi-
son avenue the runaway rounded the
corner and continued its fight to
Gordon street, where the front wheel
collided with the wagon of c. Chris
Jensen, Il milk dealer. The impact
of the sudden halt threw both the
animals to the pavement.
The horse attached to the milk
wagon was on it's feet in an instant
and started off down the street, but
had only gone a short distance when
it was stopped by two men.
Two little girls were in the milk
wagon at the time it was struck by
the runaway, but escaped injury by
jumping from it just in time to avoid
the crash.
The damage to the milk wagon
was considerable, a broken wheel and
shafts and a wrecked set of harness
being the result.
The Mccormick wagon was a total
wreck, and had to be towed to the
stable, while the horse received some
slight injuries.

election as an advocate of protection
was of as much interest to the people
of Illinois as to those of Maine.
Mr.. Cannon told of the anxiety of
President Roosevelt as expressed to
him personally that Mr.. Littletield

statement that Mr.. Littlefield in cour-

PACKER HOUSE MAY
HAVE ~RATHSKELLER.
Proprietor FIOersch Planning for
An Up-tO-D Date Hotel in Every
Particular.

Proprietor Floersch, of the Packer
House, says that although nothing is
definite until the contract is given
out, a r~athskeller is one of the most
prominent features that he wants in
the new structure. The present plans
call for a basement under a large
portion of the building, and if pos
sible, Mr.. Floersch will install a met
ropolitan rathskeller there, when the
alterations are completed. Mr.. Flo
ersch has seen the need of an up to
date hotel and restaurant for some
time, and would have opened an a
la carte restaurant some time ago,
had there been sufficient room.
Some changes are being made in
the plans at present, and no definite
information in regard to the improve
ments can be given out" said Mr..
Floersch, in conversation with a
NEWS reporter yesterday, "but the
work is to be started soon,' said he,
"and then I'll give you all the de-
tails"
