votes were taken by the house commit
tee on public lands to determine the
attitude of the committee towards Pres
ident Roosevelt's policy of leasing gov
ernment coal lands. The committee
voted. against the general leasing sys-

to favored bill to lease such lands

Washington, Feb. 7. - The Indian
appropriation bill received rough hand
ling by the senate today. The amend
ments of the committee, especially
those suggested by the special commit
tee which went to the Indian Territory
last summer to investigate conditions,
were nearly all rejected on points of
order.
The provision which allowed full
blood Indians of the Indian Territory
to sell their surplus land was defeated
by a vote of 81 to so, which leaves in
force the provision of the law known
as the McCumber amendment prohib-
iting the alienation of such land for 25
years.
The debate on the bill today was con-
fined to the amendment allowing land
alienation. Stone made the principal
speech for the amendment and Spooner
the principal argument against it.
