Perhaps the recently organized local

to do with the haste. At any rate it
is only another instance showing
what competition will do.

LAST Of THE
STOMP DANCES
BIG PREPARATIONS ARE BEING
MADE FOR THE EVENT.
MARCH OF CIVILIZATION
Where Formerly the Occasions Ter
minated in Druken Rows, They
Are Now Orderly.

The Shawnee Indians are awang-
ing for their annual stomp dance,
along Hominy Creek, in the Usage
nation, some time during August. As
this may be the last Of such affairs
a great crowd Of people is expected
The dance will last three days and
will be followed out in the usual man
ner.
For more than twenty years, the
Indians have held stomp dances ON
Hominy Creek First one tribe and
then another would have it in charge
and old timers relate many thrilling
experiences in the early days. Boot
leggers knowing the red mems pro-
pensity for frewater would be on
hand with loads of wet goods and
the dances frequently gave way to
drunken rows. In the past few years
this has practically been done away
with and the very best Of order
is maintained and the occasions prove
very amusing, especially to the white
people who have never seen a stomp
dance.

INDIANS SUFFRAGE RIGHTS.
Bledsoe Declares They Cannot Be De-
prived Through Statehood Law.

Ardmore, July 19,-Concerning the
newspaper reports relative to the stat
us of Indians in Indian Territory vot-
ing in the coming election, Hon. S. I.
Bledsoe, of this city, said
~ notice statement going the
rounds of the press that it is doubtful
as to whether the Indians in Indian
Territory will have the right of suf-
frage in the new state.
81 have not been able to find any
provision of law that would Justify
such conclusion. On the Bird day Of
March, 1901, every Indian in Indian
Territory was made a citizen of the
United States, and given all of the
benefits and made subject to all the
laws, both civil and criminal, of the
United States. The question of who
shall be entitled to vote in the state of
Oklahoma will be determined not by
the congress of the United States, but
bv the constitutional convention of
the state, subject only to the provi-
sions and limitations in the constitu-
tiOn of the United States, and to the
sixth division Of the second section of
the statehood bill, which is as follows /:
" That said state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridging the
right Of suffrage on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude.
Certainly there is nothing in any
act of congress that can be construed
as contemplating the disenfranchise-
ment of the Indians in Indian Terri
tory.
"When the right to create munich
pal corporations in Indian Territory
was conferred upon the citizens there
of, il was specifically provided that
Indians residing in the limits of such
corporations should have the same
right of suffrage as was exercised by
citizens of the United States. This
was prior to the time that all the In
dians in the Indian Territory were
made citizens of the United States.
No one who is familiar with the "ondi-
tions in the Indian Territory could for
a moment doubt but that the consti-
tutional convention will give the same
rights, privileges and immunities, in
cluding the right to vote, to members
of the Indian Tribes, that is given to
other citizens of the United States.
-"To undertake to deprive the In
dian of the right to suffrage on ac-
count of his race would be in direct
conflict with the sixth division of the
second section of the statehood bill
above referred to, which section the
new state of Oklahoma is required to
incorporate in its constitution before
it can be admitted to statehood. y

be absolutel y restrained from any fur
ther proceedings in the matter of the
killing of White and against Harry X.
Thaw.
The allegations on which the re-
straining writ was issued state that
as Thaw has been indicted by the
grand jury it is illegal for the dis
trict attorney to issue grand jury
subpoenas and to obtain further evi-
dence for the prosecution through
witnesses who appear at the district
Office in answer TO the subpoenas. The
application for the writ contained the
following allegations:
For the purpose of preparing the
ease for trial, subpoenas are made by
the district attorney addressed to wit
ncsses requiring them to appear and
testify before the grand jury in an in
vestigation before it. These subpoenas
are not made for the purpose of pro-
curing any new indictments for the
killing of Stanford White. but for the
purpose of procuring evidence to be
used against the defendant at the tri-
al. The witnesses are required by the
district attorney to be sworn as be
fore the grand jury and the deposi-
tions are taken. The newspapers keep
track of the witnesses thus produced
and undertake to state the facts to
which they have testified. The tax
ing of these depositions against the de
PENDANT has been chiefly intrusted to
Assistant District Attorney Garvan.
and from time to time interviews pub
lished purporting to have come from
him have appeared in the public press
in which the intent to take the depo-
sitions before the grand jury for use
against Harry X. Thaw at his trial
has been plainly stated"

ASYLUM INSTEAD OF COURT
ROOM FOR HARRY THAW

New York, July l9.-The World to-
morrow will say: 'l'-
"Harry Thaw will never be placed
on trial for the murder of Stanford
White. An application will be made
for the appointment of commission
to inquire into his sanity There Is
no doubt that he will be declared IL
sane and sent to the hospital for the
criminal insane at Mattewan.
"This authoritative statement was
made to the World last night imme-
diately after the conclusion of CON
ference at the Hotel Lorraine by one
who had been present. AT this con
ference which began shortly after 8
O'Clock. were Mrs. VIM. Thaw, mother
of Harry Thaw; Lewis l.. Delafeld,
her personal counsel; VIM. NJ. X. Ol-
colt. of Black. Olcott, Kruber & Bon
ynge. young Thaw's former counsel ;
Josia Thaw and George l.. Carnegie,
son and son-in-law of Mrs. VIM. Thaw.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was present, but
took no part in the conference.
Mrs. VIM. Thaw met Judge Oleott
and insisted upon his resuming the
defense of her son which she said he
could do in any manner he saw fit.
Mr.. OlcOtt promised to take the mat
ter upder advisement, but said he
could give no final answer until he
had conferred with the other members
of the firm. The probabilities are that
the firm will again take up the direc-
tion of the defense Of Harry Thaw.
"Mr. Olcott gave Mrs. Thaw the

information he had collected, which
convinced her that her son was men
tally irresponsible on the night he
killed White. He said that number
of the greatest alienists in the coun-
try who had been retained by the de
fense were convinced that the young
man was irrational.
"District Attorney Jerome is not
expected to interpose any serious OBJ
lection to the appointment of com
mission to inquire into Harry Thaw s
sanity. Some of the alienists retained
by the district attorney have reported
to him their belief that Thaw is men
tally irresponsible. Many friends of
White have asked the district attor-
ney to consent to such disposition
of Thaw, rather than have the notori-
ETY. of trial" "

A GOVERNMENT
MAP OF STATE
DRAUGHTSMAN HAS CoMPLET
ED WORK AT WASHINGTON.
is TO Be ISSUED SOON
FIRST Batch Will Contain 5000 Copies
and VIII Be Ready For Deliv-
erry About September First.

Washington, d. c., July l9,-ThC
draughting division of the genera
land Office has just completed work
for the new state of Oklahoma that j,
exceedingly important, It has com
bined tho Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritorieS in one state on single man
and also placed them together on
the map of the United States. The
draught of the map has just been sent
to a local printer who won the bid for
making the first map of the newly ad-
mitted state.
The work of lithographing will be
gin Immediately and the first issue of
three thousand copies will be ready
about September !.
When it began to be apparent at
the capital more than a month ago
that the statehood bill would pass,
Frank Bond, chief of the draughting
division of the land Office, put twenty
clerks at work on what he thought
would be the first official map of the
new state.
The last edition of the map Of Ok
lahoma had been in 1898, and Of In
dian Territory in 1899. Both editions
had been exhausted for some time and
there had been repeated calls for an
other edition. The new map will be
one of the finest photo photographic
maps ever turned out. The mountains
will be marked in brown, the water
lining in blue, the Indian reservations
of which there are hut a few, will be
in yellow and the game reserves in
purple.
The district boundary will be in
purple, and the state, county and mill
tnry reservation boundaries i'll red In
the corner will be plats of Guthrie,
Lawton, McAlester and Muskogee. The
distance scale will be twelve miles to
the inch, and the size Of the entire
map will be four by seven and one
half feet. There has already been a
big demand on the interior depart
ment for the maps.
The work of putting the new state
on the big map of the United States
which is being published by the gen
eral land Office, is more complicated.
On this map, which is generally seen
in government offices throughout the
country, there is big yellow spot
which denotes the Indian Territory. 1t
stands out from the white ground of
Oklahoma beside it.
Because of the allotment of the In
dian lands in the Indian Territorv.the
yellow spot will disappear on the new
map. The boundaries between the
two territories will be eliminated and
the new state will be all white, with
a big "Oklahoma" across the face.
Chief Bonds men will bring up the
surveys in township lines and make
standard parallels and meridians The
public SURVEYS will be brought up to
date, as will the designations of the
militar" and naval stations. The post
offices and post roads will also be
changed. The man will be distributed
until late in the winter of 1907.
After this map is out, prompt ap-
plications should be made to secure
early copies of the new man.
