URGED BY THE PRESIDENT.
Legislation for Whites Who Have
Married in the Cherokee Nation.

President Roosevelt has sent special
message to Congress urging the enactment
of bill. the draft OF which is included i'm
the message. which grants white persons
who have intermarried with members of the
Cherokee nation of Indians sixty days in
which 10 dispose of improvements they have
placed on lands in the Cherokee nation
which they have heretofore occupied. The
sale of such improvements is to be made
only to members of the Cherokee nation at
IN appraised price to be fixed by an official
to be designated by the Secretary of the
Interior.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court
in the Daniel Redbird case. which excludes
all intermarried persons not of the blood of
the Cherokee nation from receiving an al
lotment of the land or a share of the tribal
funds of the nation under the allotment act
of 1898. is the occasion for the legislation
suggested by the President.
The President says his recommended ton
rs made in order to avoid serious hardship
to the persons affected by the decision
Many of these persons. he says. have made
valuable and permanent improvements on
the land on which they have lived for many
years under the belief that they were en-
titled to the same rights as native-born
Cherokees. -- .t sd

AGAINST CONSUMPTION.
Lack of Funds in Work Of Improving
Housing Conditions.

1t is declared by the management that
the vigorous campaign against consump-
ton and for the improvement of house con-
ditions must be discontinued unless more
money is secured. The conservative esti-
mate of 81 per day for loss of wage and 81
per day for care during sickness for ap-
proximately the 5000 consumptves living
at present in Washington, means private
and public loss to the community of Sc 900
a day-over $2,OOO,OO0 per year.
The spread of this disease is combatted
by a very general campaign of education
instructing not only consumptives upon the
fundamental facts which cure and pre-
ventlon depend, but also through lectures
in churches, schools, clubs, etc.-instruct-
ing all who may be endangered by this dis
ease through the carelessness of others.
This educational, curative and preventive
consumptive dispensary, by attention in the
home by distribution of instructive liter
AZURE, by legislative activity and in numer-
Gus other ways by seeking to give adequate
attention to each individual case, thus STOP
ping the ravages of this preventable DIS
ease by reducing the foci of Infection
Against this loss of about 81 co., 600 a year
to say nothing of the lives and amount of
suffering entailed-ths citizens committee
places the amount of its needs at $780, It
is not possible to cure or even instruct all
years, but it is regarded as extremely ad-
Visab1e that the conservative and pro-
gressve campaign should continue without
interruption.
The contributions SO far received in aid
OF the movement amount to 81, S94.54.

HE had been in the habit of going to his

and remain there all night
At that time it is stated, Mrs. Brown
knew of her husbands friendship for Miss
Straub. 1t is added that since he recovered
from the effects of the gas he had spent
most of his nights at the store, having
placed a cot in there. 1t was upon the cot
that the body of the woman was found

Mrs Straub, it is declared, had directed
Brown to remain away from her home.
Despite the objection on the part of Mrs.
Straub, Brown. it is stated, insisted upol
calling at the nat. Just when or where the
couple met last night the police did not as
certain.
Escorted Her to Work.
Miss Straub, who was twenty-six years Of
age, was four years younger than Brown.
She was employed in tine bureau of engrav-
ing and printing. The harness dealer, 1t is
stated, sometimes drove her to the bureau
and frequently met her when she had I'm
ished her days work. With the exception
of her mother, it is stated, her friends did
not know of the friendship that existed be-
tween her and Brown. She had a quiet
manner and was even-tempered Her
friends were greatly shocked today when
they heard of what had happened. Miss
Straub wore diamond horseshoe pin,
which. it is stated, had been given her by
Brown, although his wife had made him a
present of it. He also had a similar pin
that was worth about $500, the latter being
found in his pocketbook
1t is the belief of the police that Brown
did not intend to kill Miss Straub last night
when she went to the work room in the
rear of his store with him, and that his
act was the deed of Il man who either be-
came insanely jealous or who feared he
would have to give up the companionship OF

vest. collar and tie. Coroner hewitt thinks
that the woman may have been sleeping at
the time the shots were fired, as her body
did rot move. nor was there any evidence
of the slightest struggle having occurred
Crowd Of Curious Persons.
Before the coroner reached the scene a
crowd of curious persons gathered in front
of the store and crowded against the door.
They We're eager to obtain a look within
that they forced open the door. Mrs.
Brown called at the store after the bodies
had been removed and inquired if it was
true that her husband had shot himself.
Capt. Doyle explained the positions in
which the bodies were found, and told her
just where the coroner had picked up the
weapon. The widow said he had done only
what she had anticipated. She added she
would take charge of the body and have it
removed to her home from the undertaking
establishment as soon as it had been pre-
pared for burial.
1t is said that both parents of Miss
Straub are living.
The police took charge of the premises
