SEED DAY IN HOUSE.
Free Distribution Receives Strong
Support.
Iron The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, April S0-The House had a lively
time to-day wrangling over free seeds for the
farmers strong movement has developed to
restore TO the Agricultural Appropriation bill
the customary appropriation for the distribution
OF garden and flower seeds which was stricken
out this year by the committee. When the de-
bate under the five minute rule began to-day
the free seed advocates started firing long before
the section Of the bill having reference TO this
subject was reached. Chairman Wadsworth OF
the Committee on Agriculture repeatedly tried
10 head off the debate in an effort to direct the
discussion to the sections Of the bill under con-
sideratiOn, but he had little success and all
through the day there was great confusion in
the House. with the result that no vote on the
free seed proposition was reached. An amend
ment has been prepared by the free seed advo-
Gates to continue the appropriation, and on this
a vote will be taken tomorrow. The indications
are that Chairman Wadsworth Will have suffi-
caent backing to carry the bill through un-
amended and that the free seed proposal will be
defeated. but the debate to-day disclosed
stronger support for the usual distribution than
had been expected

Immediately ordered the carriage

over the kitten and fled headlong.
Mrs. Longworth, before resuming
her shopping tour, drove back with
the eat to Dorchester House. She
christened it "John Bull" and has
announced her intention of taking it
with her to America as a mascot,

South McAlester. Okla, July g.
The appointment of the senate com

it was he who raised the question
which blockaded legislation this past
winter when the sale of the surface
Of the coal lands was being consider

The sale will stimulate business in
many ways. The Choctaws who own
the coal lands will be allowed to rent
or lease the surface, and thus condi-
tions will be vastly improved. The
Choctaws own larger allotmentS than
any other of the five civilized tribes,
but owing to the rulings in the mat

coal lands, unless their allotment con-
tanned coal which was actually being
worked, II did them no good. Thou

There are hundreds of land poor

The towns in the Choctaw Nation

listed for several years will do much
to relieve the hard plight of the IN
dian owners of the land.
