dict has received a letter from

ample assurances that the bill
providing for the continuance OF

Measure Closing Up Tribal Affairs
Will Be Considered Today.
MANY CHANGES ARE MADE
That Which Relates to Disposition Of
Coal Lands Of Greatest Impor-
tance.

l.
Washington, Feb. % The
Curtis bill, which prescribes the
manner of closing the affairs Of
the Five Civilized Tribes, was re-
ported to the Senate yesterday
and there will likely be an early
consideration of it.
The bill as reported by the
Renate committee yesterday is
replete with changes The one
which has excited the most gem
eral interest, of course, is that
relating to the disposition of the
ccal lands, and this was thor
oughly explained in dispatch a
few days ago.
The provisions relating to en-
rollment and the closing of the
rolls differ considerably from
those in the House bills Onel of
the more important of these
changes is that those whose ap-
plications to be enrolled have
been rejected have ninety day s
after such rejection within which
to move a reconsideration. The
House bill made the limit March
4, 1906. The time within which
application may be made for the
enrolment of children is changed
20 that those who were minors
March 4, 1908, may be enrolled.
In the House bill it was provided
that only those who were minors
March 4, 1905, should be enroll
ed.
A most1important amendment,
since it affects those citizenship
cases pending in the courts, is
that the time in which the rolls
must be ''fully completed" is ex-
tended from June 4, 1906, to
March 4, 1907. This will have
the effect of reserving land for
allotment to those who may be
declared to have rights as the is
sue of suits now pending.
An amendment has been put
in expressly declaring that lands
allotted to Choctaw and Chicka-
saw freedmen are to be consider
ed as homestead lands, and SUBJ.
ject to all the provisions re spect-
ing the holnesteads of Indians.
AS in the House bill, the tribal
chiefs are, continued in office for
the purpose of executing deeds
and to represent the tribes in
such matters as may be referred
to them by the Secretary of the
Interior, but their removal, in
case of alleged failure to perform
their duties, is left discretional
with the President instead of with
the Secretary.
All of the House section relat-
ing to timber lands was stricken
out. The Senate section pro-
vides that where members or
freedmen of the Choctaw Nation
have made improvements on se-
gregated timber land they may,

The Curtis Bill is
Reported to Senate

y ton, be ent tied to allotment
thereon All other segregated
timber land in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Nations is to be sold
for cash at public auction.
A provision for Murrow's Or
phans Home has been inserted
in the Senate bill. Allotments
Heretofore made to that institu-
| tion are confirmed and in addition
authority is given to Choctaws
AMI Chickasaws where they have
an unallotted right 70 less than
$40 worth of land on the basis of
the allotment value they lmay
convey such excess to the home.
A preference right is given to
Choctaw and Chickasaw freed.
men "to purchase at the apprais-
ed value enough land to equal
with that allotted to him forty
acres id area"
Substantially nothing has been
substracted from the House pro-
visions respecting alterations,
but several provision have been
added. For example, it is. Ipro-
vided that when restrictionsgare
removed the lands are to be con-
sidered as having been alienableI
from the date of settlement,
wherefore it is further provided
conveyances are not to be held
invalid merely because they were
made prior to the delivery of
patents.
Leases of the homesteads of
full bloods must be approved by
the Secretary, but leases of the
surplus lands when for aericul-
tnral purposes and for terms not
exceeding one year, do not need
that approval. This last8provis-
ion is new one.
The heirs of deceased Mississ,
iippi Choctaws who failed to
make proof of settlement..in the
Choctaw Nation have sixty days
after the passage of the act to
make such proof.
The failure of the House to
make provision for highways in
the Chickasaw, Choctaw and
Seminole Nations has been COR
rected by directing that one rod
on each side of section lines shall
be taken for public road pur-
poses. Ample provision is also
made for the construction of
dams.
Chap. XII of "Wilson's Revis-
ed and Annotated Statutes of
Oklahoma of 1903" are put in
force over Indian Territory, $50

cable and in conflict with the pro-
visions of this act.''
The. tangibl property Of rail-
roads, exclusive of rolling lstock,
within corporate limits shall be
assessed and taxed sin propor-
ton to its value the same as 9TH
er property"
The only other notable provis-
ion is that none of the lands of
the tribes are to become public
lands of the United States, butt
are to be held by the United
States in trust for the Indians.
This provision is understood to
have been made as a means of
anticipating suits which it was
thought railroads contemplated
