South McAlester, Okla, July 27.-It
may be announced that the department
OF justice has won its case against the
sellers Of beer substitute drinks, al
though the victory was scarcely won
on the merits of the case. The ven
dors of these drinks were arrested
from day TO day until at last il be-
came evident that every one of them
were determined to sell in spite of the
efforts Of the department of justice
to suppress the traffic.
The district attorney and his assis-
tant, Mr.. Gresham, put their heads to-
gether and dug into an old statute
which put a quick end to the business.
1t was determined to bring beer sub
stitute men before Commissioner Nc
MILAN and to put them under 81 900
bond not to commit what the law re-
CARDS as a felony. This move on the
part of Latham and Gresham non
plussed the former defendants com
nletely and nearly all of them signifed
their willingness to quit the business.
Under this statute to have sold even
one bottle of Teetotal or Long Horn
would have been to forfeiat the bond.
Hence today there is but one man
selling any of the questionable drinks
in South McAlester, James House,
who has disregarded his" Long Horn"
for drink manufactured in Texas
calledS' Single State"

PRESIDENT OF rs BANKS
The Remarkable Career of a Georgia
Man Who Started With 81.

From the American Banker.
A record that has a tinge of ro-
nance, touch of pathos and huge
lesson for all of us, is that of W.
S. Witham, of Georgia. Twenty-Five
years ago he left the town of La
Grange, Ga, with the munificent sum
of 81 in his pocket and landed in New
York with nothing to his credit but
his clothes and his character. The
quality of the former does not mat
ter, and the quality of the latter has
shown itself. He is today president
of seventy-fve banks, all but four
of which are situated in his native
state. In return for Georgia's small
advance of 100 cents, be has pretty
well cornered a goodly amount OF her
funds. The four banks of which he
is president outside of the state of
Georgia, are situated in Florida.
These institutions are all flourishing.
All enjoy the absolute and well earn
ed confidence of the communities,
and are run for the interests of the
people, as well as the capitalists.
Mr.. Witham celebrated the Fourth
of July by having a little private
banking convention Of his own at
Warm Springs, Ga, where he met
the seventy-fve cashiers from his
seventy-fve banks, possibly the most
unique and original gathering in the
country.

be there. This protest led TO new
Legislation which came in the form
of the Curtis act of 1898. This acl
provided that treaties should be made
between the different tribes and the
congress and these treaties should
provide the manner IN which citizen.
ships and rights to tribal allotments
should be established. The Seminole
treaty was first, made December l6
1897. The Creek treaty was made in
March, 1900; the Choctaw and Chick
asaw treaty, the Atoka agreement, was
made June 25, 1898; the Cherokee
treaty was made July /, 1902.
In each Of these treaties, the time
was set when the rolls should be clos
ed to applicants. In each instance
this date has been changed from time
TO time and these changes have been
fruitful of the almost interminable
delay and the exasperating work has
dragged along for several years.
The Creek roll was to close May
25, 1901. This was postponed until
September 4, 1904, then to March 4,
1905, and again to March 4, 1906.
The Cherokee roll was originally to
close September, 1902, and this was
changed to changedshrdluetcfwia
changed to March 4, 1906. The Choc-
taw and Chickasaw rolls were ordered
closed September 25, 1902, re-opened
to March 4, 1905, and again held open
to March 4, 1906. The Seminole rolls
were to close December 81, 1899, but
were re-opened for newly-borns to
March 4, Of this year.
The members of the Dawes commits
SION have always fought the reopen
ing of the rolls. They were ordered
opened in most cases to let in child
ren born while the rolls were being
made.
An abstract of the enrolment work
done by the commission up to the
first day of July, 1906, shows the fol-
lowing number to have been passed
upon and found entitled to allot-
ments:
In the Choctaw nation, 24,9l6. In
the Creek nation, 1888. In the
Chickasaw nation, 1852. Cherokee,
Bill. Seminole, 3,l02. This in
cludes freedmen (negroes) and inter-
married white citizens. In addition
to these there are now pending $500
applications that have been passed
upon, and allof the newborn child
rem who were admitted by the last
congress and it is estimated they will
number 1850. The law provides that
the commission must finally pass
on all Of these applications before
March 4, 1907.

London, July "a. William J. Bry-

sador Reid, was received in private
audience by King Edward at Buck

liamentary union in the throne room,

government, the house of commons,

British group of the union, and Lord
Weardale, for their generous hospi-
tality, constant attention an dcourte-
sizes. 1t was enthusiastically carried.
The members Of the union went to
the Crystal palace this afternoon in
automobiles, over 100 of which were
required to accommodate the party.
In the evening, the members were
guests at a dinner at the Crystal
palace. Among the Americans pres
ent were w. ]. Bryan and Represen-
tative Burton, Of Ohio. The latter

Muskogee, July 27-At midnight
last night the rolls of the five civ
ilized tribes were closed and the work
which has consumed the time of an
average of fifty men for eight years
will be practically be brought to a
close. The Dawes commission will
have passed upon the rights of near
ly 100000, applicants to enrolment
and approximately $4,000 have made
good their claims and have been ad-
mitted. After tonight no Indian can
make any application, except by spe-
cial act of congress, and the biggest
job the commission has had will close
within less than year, just sufficient
time to pass on all applicantscmf
time to pass on all applications FL
ed by midnight tonight.
The Dawes commission was created
in 1893, under Cleveland's admins
trations, and the first member ap-
pointed, Henry L. Dawes, deceased,
was a republican. The work of the
commission was to make rolls OF all
Indians of the five tribes, establish
who were entitled to share in the tri-
bal property and allot to each his
share of land.
The first actual work in citizenship
was commenced in June, 1896, and
ninety days were allowed in which
a copy of the original Indian rolls,
as shown by the tribal governments,
were to be made, and applications of
Others who made claims to citizen
ship were to be received. Sixty days
were to be allowed to pass on all
these cases. Thus, when the Dawes
commission was created, congress con-
sidered five months sufficient to do
the work which has consumed thir-
teen years.
When the commission commenced
to take the Indian rolls, the Indian
nations protested and said slat their
own rolls were not correct, but had
been corrupted and hundreds of
names were on them that should not
