REPORT CoNTRADlCTfD.

Muskogee, /. t., May 1.-THE re-
port that has been circulated all
over the southern part of Indian
Territory that all deeds that had
been made in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations would have tc
be made over. is not true. At the
commission it was stated today
that the extension of the tribal
governments BY congress would
not affect the status of the deeds
already made out; and there are
thousands of them, and the deeds
are now being signed by the Ind
ian governors. The department
here making deeds is now working
as hard as it can to ger out the
deeds to allotments in the Choc-
taw, Chickasaw and Cherokee
nations.

PAVING IS
WARMING UP
MAYOR vENABLE INVESTIGATES
PAVING MATTERS At OKLA
HOMA CITY
PROPOSITION IS DIS UssED
By Citizens of Chickasha who are
Ready for Action

The paving proposition is warm
Ing up daily now and the indications
are that it will soon reach the
billing point" Daily The matter
in question is discussed by leading
property owners and all appear to
to be ready and anxious for the
work 70 begin.
Mayor VeDable has returned
from his paving pilgrimage to
Oklahoma City, full Of information
and enthusiasm and he will tell
the council some things at the
meeting tomorrow. He is think
ing of calling mass meeting of
citizens in connection with couu-
Gil meeting where the entire prop
osition will be worked over and
definite action taken.
When seeniby an EXPRESS re.
porter this morning, the Mayor
said: my ideas on paving in
Chickasha have grown somewhat
since l have seen what Oklahoma
is doing. / saws blocks and blocks
of paving on streets where there
is scarcely house, in some cases
almost in the outskirts Of the
town. The people seem to think
this is the best way to increase the
value Of their property I'm about
persuaded that we ought to paxe
Chickasha avenue for tenor twelve
blocks and other streets CORES
pondingly,"
The Mayor stated that he went
over practically the entire City
Engineer Burk who showed what
is being done and the materials and
methods used. Oklahoma City
now has IS men employed in its
engineering department and gangs
Of men are at work daily putting
down more sidewalks and paving.
In the wholesale district where
traffic is heavy Oklahoma City
has mile of brick paving but Mr..
Burke objects to this kind Of paw
ing in the other districts because
of the noise, no more brick paving
is being put down.
In the residence districts asphalt
is used, with brick between the car
track and concrete curb and gutter
while in the business districts, the
same materials are used for the
main pavement and car tracks with
brick gutter and stone curbing.
This has been decided to.be the best
paving. The asphalt costs about
81, rs per square yard and the
guttering and curbing about $I.oo
per lineal foot. Mr.. Burk stated
that he had had no experince with
concrete paving but he thought it
was good. The city pays for her
paving with improvement scrip.
Mayer Venable will introduce an
ordinance at the council meeting
tomorrow regulating sidewalk
building, specifying methods to be
used, methods of laying and inspec-
ton by the city engineer.

w!Ll|AM'S TROUBLES
Reverend Gentlemen Again in
Court for Funny Business

The Rev. Jerome Z. w. Williams,
Of African decent, was again in
court this morning, some of his pc
cu lar business methods being call
ed into question The parson is a
very digni6ed and impassioned
gentleman and heappearcd in court
arranged in a ministerial coat as
long as his name.
The trouble this time, as charg-
&c, is that Parson Williams went to-
the Eagle Mercantile Co., about
Jan. 20 and bought goods to the
amount of $40 and gave mortgage
on horse and buggy as security.
When the Parson got into jail for
forgery, Mr.. Horn called on him
and asked for information concern
ing the whereabouts Of the horse
and buggy, Williams said they
we're in McClond o. T. the mort
gagee said they were in Chickasha.
Mr.. Horn didn't know that any
one had ever granted permission
for the removal Of the property
The defendant was bound over to
await the action Of the grand
jury.
The Parson has been out on bond
on the former forgery. He also has
another charge pending against
him, that Of obtaining $40 from a
colored brother under false pre-
lenses
