CURTIS BILL
is APPROVED
Provides for Winding up the
Affairs of the Five Civil
lied Tribes.

Washington, Jan l2-The commit
tee on Indian affairs in the house to-
day completed consideration Of the
Curtis bill, one of the most important
measures which the present congress
is likely to enact, as it winds up the
affairs of the five civilized tribes Of
the Indian Territory.
The measure covers every detail OF
legislation, making final disposition
of the affairs of the Indians. The
first four sec lions Of the bill contain
all necessary provisions for the closing
of the rolls of each tribe, and section
2 was amended so as to take all Jurls-
diction from the secretary to approve
any enrolment after June 4, 1906.
The report sets out in full the num-
Der Of applicants who have applied
for enrolment, the number acted up
on, and those still pending in each
tribe. 1t gives the present status OF
each enrolment.
The next important amendment,
and the one over which there was the
greatest contest, was that making the
removal Of restriction as to sale apply
to the leasing of lands by mixed blood,
lintermarried whites and freedmen,
except as to homesteads. II this
amendment is sustained by the house
and senate the above classes will be
permitted not only to sell but to
lease their lands from which restrlc-
tions have been removed without go
ing through the hands of the secre-
tary.
The bill also authorizes the sale Of
100 900 acres Of land not available tor
agricultural, mineral or timber pur-
poses to any association or person fol
game reserve only.
! Immediately on completion OF the
consideration of the bill the commit
tee authorized Mr.. Curtis to report it
to the house.
