BILL PASSES TO
SEGREGATE LANDS
Usage INDIANS OF INDIAN TER.
RITORY ARE GREATLY INTER
ESTED-ARE THE RICHEST PEG.
PIE IN THE WORLD.

Washington, May 21-Outside of state
hood possibly the most important legis-
lation In which the Usage Indians of the
Indian Territory are interested passed the
House of Representatives today. This 10
the bill segregating the lands of the
Osages which was introduced by Repre-
sentative Mcclure, who had charge of the
message on the floor, assisted by Mr.. Cur
tbs and Mr. Murdoch of Kansas. Tor
years efforts have been made to segregate
the lands of these Indians, but the In
dams themselves have been dilatory and
it was only recently that the bill which
passed today was approved by them. The
Usage Indians, some 1900 in number, are
the richest people in the world. They
have S. 100000 in the treasury. The bill
which passed today segregates the fund
to individuals and will give them $50 each
per quarter as interest and in twenty
five years they are to receive their prin-
sipal. In addition the land of the Osages
about /. 100000 acres is to be allotted which
will give each member of the tribe about
700 acres each, exclusive or the coal and
oil lands, which are not to be alienated
under the provisions of the bill for
twenty-five years.
Some of the richest coal and oil lands in
the country are included within the
Usage reservation, according to a state
ment made by Mr.. Zenor or Indiana, who
succeeded in attaching an amendment to
the bill that the Indians must ratify be-
fore December J. 1906, by a majority or
the adult male members of the tribe at
either general election on at a special
election called for the purpose.

has characterized our church from the
very beginning
When we take into consideration this
and many other like expressions IN the
address of DR.. Tillett before the confer
ence; and when we also remember that
the very sentence which the protestants
declare was allowed to be stricken out
"in order to carry the report to victory,
contained the expression, "reaffirming our
absolute faith in our twenty-five article
religion" and when we note that upon
this ground the protest charges inconsis-
tency upon the author and his support
ers' because they profess undying love
and faith in the articles of religion. we
are bound to say that the argument is not
creditable to it's authors and the charge
rebounds upon themselves.
Misrepresentation Is Persistent.
In summing up our reply we protest
% against the persistent misrepresenta-
ton of this movement as one for the
revision of our articles of faith" rather
than one for new statement of the faith
and doctrine which Methodists have held
in common from the beginning. We pro-
test 90 against the charge of needless and
hasty legislation as dscreding the intelli-
gence and wisdom of this general confer
ence We protest go against the charge
that the movement is simply one of acade-
mic interference with the peace of the
church by insisting that the majority in
cludes many of the strongest missionary
leaders of our church, as well as many of
the most effective pastors of southern
Methodism.
We would conclude by insisting that
our purpose has been, first of all, to
unite worldwide Methodism in the fellow
ship of a common statement of the faith
which all Methodists have received from
their revered founder. Secondly. to pro-
vide an effective means for educating our
people in the simple faith and rich heri-
tage of religious truth which are availa-
BILE for us in our early literature Thirdly,
to procure such concise and forceful
expression of the faith and doctrines OF
the Methodists will enable them to take
a more triumphant part in the evangeli-
zation of the world in the name OF our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

HAS CARTER
REFUSED
PARDONS?
PETITION IN BEHALF OF KUMA-
Lac AND JOHNSON WAS SENT
TO GOVERNOR.
Continued on page hvc)

4 petition has been circulated and
sent to Governor Carter asking for the
pardon of Jonah Kumalae, former
member of the House of Representa-
tves and Enoch Johnson, an attorney
who was his associate in a legislative
grating scheme on account of which
both were sentenced to one years hard
labor, The petition was circulated last
week and is said to have been sent to
the governor before the end Of the
year, in the hope that he would act
upon it during the holiday season and
exercise clemency.
The name of Charles Motley appears
at the head of the petition and 1t was
circulated mostly in Home Rule cir
cles. Nearly all the names are Ha-
Taiian. There are about seventy on
the petition altogether
Governor Carter was not at the exc
cutive chambers today and nothing
could be learned as to whether the pc
tition had been received of considered.
The fact that the holiday season has
passed, however without any action
being taken is regarded by some of
| the petitioners as Indicating that the
governor declines to interfere.

CORPORATION ACT
IS BADLY DRAWN
HAWAIIAN CORPORATION
BUSINESS ATTEMPT BLUFF CORPORA
FILING EXHIBITS PENALTIES
EXIsT-soNE INDIGNANT A THREAT.

There is considerable discussion go
ing on in business circles just at present
over the circular letter issued by the
Attorney General as notification that
every corporation shall file an annual
exhibit of it's affairs under penalty of
$4,000 for failure TO do so.
1t is significant that the Attorney
General, in this letter states that the
notice and request is made by his Of
flee "upOn request of Hon. A. j. Camp
bell. Treasurer" from which it would
appear that the Attorney General rec
ognizes the weakness of the case made
out
The circular transposes mutilated
portions of Sections 26j6 and 1856 of the
Corporation law
1t places badly mangled portion of
1856 first, giving the subtitle Annual
Exhibit" This treats of the necessity
of filing full and accurate annual state
ments.
A fragment Of Section 2655 follows
but in this even the head is cut off and
the Niger in the wOOd-pie is easily
discernable when the law itself is look
ed up, for the subtitle is Penalty for
false statements" and this is followed
by the specific statement that any per-
son or persons who shall make any
false statement i'm any affidavit, return,
statement or certificate of stock or who
shall over-value any property mention
ed in such statement or return shall
be liable to fine of not more than 5000.

High Sheriff Henry will summarily
discharge the jailer at Waialua, who
was absent from duty and intoxicated
when he was wanted in the Johnson
murder case. When Johnson was ar
rested for the killing of the little Whar-
ton boy the jailor was not to be found
at his post of duty and there was no
one to look after the prisoner. Inves-
tigation showed that he was out with
a jag negotiating for more booze on
credit.

reason for a summary discharge" said
the high sheriff this morning, 'and the

WRETCHED MURDERS TRIP TO
THE CITY YESTERDAY-OFF
GERS ELUDE MOB AT STATION.

There was intense excitement down
about the Palama station last night at
half past five o'clock when the train
arrived carrying among others Sheriff
Brown, Detective Chester Doyle, De-
putty High Sheriff McGurn and the
miserable self-confessed slayer Of lit
tie Simeon Wharton, the degenerate
Frank Johnson.
The announcement that the officers
would arrive with their prisone' mad
been made by the Star and there was
some frothy talk about town OF lynch
ing. There was no reason to think
that this was anything more than talk
but proper precautiOn was taken TO
have a few dollars in small change, a
when the train came in,
As the train came to a standstil a
mob of at least five hundred surged in
to the patform and made a hasty sur
vey Of the alighting passengers. Sheriff
Brown and Doyle was too clever for
the crowd, though. With Johnson
securely handcuffed they slipped quiet
ly off on the makai side of the train
and had the man we'll down to the
gate before the crowd discovered the
movement. Then they swooped down
| morbidly anxious to get a glimpse OF
the perpetrator of the ghastly crime
But there was no suggestion even of a
lynching attempt being made, The
officers had the situation well in hand
and in a very few seconds johnson
was hurried into hack and thence tC

But not a word does the law say
about penalty Of $4,000 for not filing
any statement at all! The merest lay
man will grasp the fact that there is a
vast difference between filing false
statement and not filing any statement
and yet, according to the only possi-
bic reading, the Attorney General up

Treasurer" appears to make the act,
and the failure to act, identical.
The section goes on to say that the
penalty of $4,000 is to be imposed on
persons who do business as a corpora
tion or hold themselves out to be a cor
poration without having complied with
the provisions Of the law, and the cir
cular quotes this alone.
Read alone without the context and
particularly without the heading PEN
atty for false statements" it looks sig
nifcant, but a glance over the law it.
self is sufficient to dispose of it.
The circular is being severely criti-
cized as intended to scare people into
doing something that the law does not
compel them to do even though it may
be intended to do so, and thereby to
bolster up a clumsily drawn act
Another feature of it is that the cir
cular was sent Unfortunately to all
corporations, to those who always have
filed their exhibits and to those who
do not. The heads of former are in
many cases indignant at the plain
threat.

the price, for beef has gone from twen-
