GOVERNOR Haskell ON
OKLA. CENTRAL AFFAIR

Guthrie Okla. June t7.-Goyernor
Haskell has given out the details Of a
letter which he sent to Ben Byers Of
Lehigh last Saturday in which he ex.
plains bis position on the matter Of the
case invoking the reeeIsership Of tbs
Oklahoma Central railroad.
The governor complains that some
Of the papers have grossly misrepres-
ented him in the matter, but he uses
"a stronger word than that. He says
they have lied He then goes on to
explain that he instructed the attorney
general to file a suit against the com
pany and that Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Henshaw had delayed the mat
ter because he had been informed
that the officers OF the road had Sc
cured the money with which to pay off
the claims which amount to over one
hundred thousand dollars, nearly eigh-
ty thousand dollars Of which is for
labor and board bills
The governor insists that it would
be hardship for the parties holding
small claims to each be compelled to
go to court against the company. Then
he says after misleading the attorney
general the very next day the Chica.
90 people interested in the road filed
case in the federal court and asked
for the appointment Of a receiver The
governor ADDS in conclusion:
q am charged with imposing on the
great railroad interests Of the state.
This is not true when they obey the
law and do straight business, but
it is the duty Of every officer in this
state, myself included, to protect the
I weak against the strong. The Okla
homa Central railroad property has
been built and operated by our citi-
zens furnishing material and labor to
the extent Of thousands Of dollars and
I will not permit that property Or its
trust company promoters to escape
without paying its local creditors who
desire protection if it is possible to
protect them, and Iahaye no doubt
that we will be successful. Promo.
ters of enterprises. and foreign capital
are welcomed in Oklahoma. but they
must deal honestly and sQuarely with
our people
Some Of the local attorneys here in
Guthrie say the governor is in the
right. The road was built and people
living along the line furnished board
for the men building it, and the mer-
chants cashed thair checks or gave
merchandise in full value. and now
Chicago trust company is trying to get
the federal court to appoint a receiver
for the sole purpose Of delaying these
claims and might in the end defeat
them. All that the goyernor.is claim.
ing is that the state ought to protect
these honest claimants

chokasha Okahoma. Wednesday Evening. June IL EOS
new law IS BEST YET
FOR INDIANS AND WHITES

Muskogee. Okla, June ia care
ful analysis Of the restrictions bill has
been made BY lawyers and business
men Of the Five Civilized Tribes and it
has been unanimously pronounced the
most intelligent piece OF legislation
that has ever been enacted for tile
Indians and whites. This is because
it is SO drawn that it gives the relief
desired without surrounding Il with
perlexing and conflicting restrictions
II not only removes restrictions
entirely from ten million acres Of land
but makes It possible for any Indian
full blood or not, TO sell his land. It
puts the Indians IN two classes, the
restricted and the unrestricted. TIE
unrestricted ones are free to do as
they please with their land. The re-
stricted' ones may sell with the approy-
al Of the secretary. The Indian roll
that IS in the Office Of the commits
sioner is conclusive proof Of the In.
dams status Il is made fianl proofof
the Indians age bis quantun Of Indian
blood, and the description Of the land
that Is his. There Is no appeal from
this.
More litigation has been caused by
allottees swearing falsely to their
ages and their degree Of Indian blood
than from all other causes.
Until July q no more applications
fof removal Of restrictions will be re-.
ceiYed After that time applications
viii be received from fullbloods and
other restricted Indians Any restric.

for a period Of five years for amy pur.

terror ANY man can 20 to the In.

in the restricted class or not.

ted to them. giving the class the rolls
show them to be in, and stating in
plain words just what land he can sell,
and what lease and how.
The new law takes out Of the hands
Of the secretary Of the interior the
jurisdiction OF OH and gas leasea on all
lands not owned BY Indians whose
restrictions have been removed.
The question Of a person attaining

Rowland denied a number of the statements made by Dr. TiffanY's nleces in regard to what he had said to them previous to the pro- batting of the will.
