A Hot Time.

On Wednesday of this week
occurred the climax when fourteen
to seventeen of the Greeks
employed by the ID. & X. G. on
the construction train struck and
were fired. For short time it
looked as though o. w Barton
the conductor on the construction
train might get seriously hurt
when one of the Greeks displayed
six-shooter. A call was made to
our local authorities and the
marshal went to the scene of the
feud The Greeks refused to
leave the bunk cars until they
were forced to do so by the
authorities.
On September of the last year
the white men employed by the
d. & K. G. made a strike for
higher wages. What was the
result2 These Greeks were hired
at as high wage as that asked by
the white men. Consequently the
white men were forced to secure
other employment while the
Greeks were promoted to their
places.
We find people on the verge of
starvation in our grand old United
States, where men cannot secure
decent employment. Would it be
SO we're the Greeks and other
foreigners barred from this coun-

For Renefit of Publishers.

Representative NJ. w. Rushton of Crenshaw County. presented a bill in the House yesterday to force the rail- roads to advertise in the newspapers. It was rumored about the corridors of the Capitol a few days ago, when the anti-pass bill was being fought out. that such measure was to be urged on the legislators by Governor Conner. as a sort of sop" to them for the loss of their editorial transportation.
 When the matter was referred to Governor Conner however, he disclaim- ed all knowledge. except the merest hearsay of the proposed enactment. and the reportorial enquirer was given to understand that the Governor had nothing to do with the measure. if 1t should be introduced
 MT. Rushton's bill. which was duly referred by the Speaker 10 the Com mittee on Commerce and Common Car riers of the House. requires leach cor- poration or railroad company operat- ing or running passenger trains or mixed trains In this State. to publish every week in at least one newspaper in the county to which such train or trains run a schedule of the arrival and departure of such train or trains. to and from each station or depot on its road in each county. through which such train or trains run" Tie bill regulates the price to be paid for pub- fishing such schedules.

To Keep Legislation from Public.

There was a great deal of discussion in the Hobbies of the hotels last night over the resolution presented bv MT. John of Jefferson County in the House yesterday afternoon, requiring the Clerk of the House and each of the committee clerks to refrain from nl- lowing bills to leave their possessiorV ' at all. or from furnishing or permit ting to be taken copies of any bill.
 At the time of offering the resolu- tion Mir. John requested it to be re- ferred to the Rules Committee. of which he is the senior member Speaker Martin being ex-oficiol chairman.
 The ideas of the various persons dis cussng the resolution were greatly va ried as to it's meaning and purpose, but the general idea as expressed seemed to be that to prevent any and all measures from being put before the public would hardly reflect to the credit of the State. as far as measures in which outside interest Is taken. and to prevent people of the State from learning of the contents of any pro- posed piece of legislation would not be treating constituents of the mem bers in the proper manner,
 There promises to be vigorous fight made on the resolution whan it comes up for passage, should the Rules Committee endorse It.

RnIlroada bend I.eEiaIature.

Considerable interest has been mani fested in the measure by Senator Lusk, which passed the upper house-with apologies to Representative John--of the Legislature yesterday. The meas ure, if one Is to judge by the title is designed ito require and authorize the railroad companies to prescribe rules. regulations and requirements for the is- suance and use of interchangeable mile age book tickets and coupon tickets on and over lines of transportation of common carriers of passengers in this State, and punish any violation of such orders. rules, regulations and require ments."
 In view of the fact that the railroad companies have been advertising the sale of such interchangeable tickets for the past week. having beaten the Leg islaturo to the subject. though it doubt less required many weeks effort to get the consent of all railroad lines of the South to the arrangement. and to per feet the details. it had been thought by some the promoters of the anti rail- road Legislation would drop the subject. but the pushing of the bill through the Senate would not indicate any such in- tentiOn.

ALL DUE TO MRS. YELLOW CAT
Citation of Her Case Carried Point
in the Senate.
Indians who Have Been Given Citi-
zenshiP Are StiII to BE Regarded
as Nations Wards.

After two days Of spirited discussion
the Senate late yesterday afternoon. in
vote on a provision Of the Indian ap-
preparation bill, in effect upheld the con-
tention OF the Interior Department and
President Roosevelt that Indians who
have been given the rights Of citizenship
are still to be regarded as wards Of the
nation.
The contest was over an amendment
removing all restrictions upon the aliena-
ton, leasing. or incumbering Of the lands
belonging TO the members Of the Five
Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory. The
point Of order raised against # was left
to the Senate by the Vice President, and
was sustained by a vote Of 81 TO -.
Mrs. Yellow Cat saved the day. Senator
CARTS. of Kansas. in declaring that In
dams should be protected from unscrupu-
loUs persons, showed that this woman,
who had been granted the right TO alien
ate her property, had disposed of it for
$500, when it was yielding annually,
through oil royalties, over $4,000. That
convinced the skeptiCaI Senators.
Nearly every special claim placed in
the bill by the Senate committee was
eliminated by points of order. There were
also stricken out those amendments re-
iating to confirming an agreement with
the Muskogee tribe, relating TO the coal
and asphalt lands OF the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. and prohibiting city
and town elections in Indian Territory
during the present year
