DAVIS MAKES CHARGE
AHKANsAN ACCUSES FORMER SEC-
 RETARY HITCHCOCK
Nm DiscussinE Indian Lands He Chai- Ienwes Senator FOraker to Come to the Ala of Haif-Breed
 Negroes.

Washington, April 29-The citizen shin rolls of the five civilized tribes was the subject of an impassioned speech in the Senate today by Sena- tor Davis, or Arkansas.
 The Senator charged that former Secretary Hitchcock had prevented 1o.- 900 persons of Indian blood from be- ing enrolled. He instanced a family of ten persons only one of whom had been enrolled as an Indian, the re- mainins nine being classed as negroes.
 Addressing Senator Foraker. MT. Da- wis asked him to do justice to these negroes. The Senate galleries were 'bIack with negroes" he said, when Mir. Foraker spoke on the Browns vile arair. The Senator then raiH- ing himself to his full height, advanced across the chamber toward Mir. For" aker and called out at the top of his stentorlan voice:
 "Now. if you really love the negroes, YOU ought to join me in trying to se- cure their rights for them"
 As the sound of the Senator's voice rang through the chamber. Senators around Mr. Foraker laughed uDroar> iously.
 When quiet was restored, Mir. For al,er arose, and quietly replied:
 "The Senator from Arkansas ought to speak a little louder. It Is dificut to hear him"
 MT. Davis's resolution calls on the Secretary of the Interior for informa- tion concerning the authority by which the lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes has been withdrawn from the allotment, and concerning the tribal rolls.
 Mir. Clapp. Chairman of the Commit tee on Indian Affairs, did not object to tbe resolution, but didsobject to the language of the preamble which all legged that persons of Indian blood had been unlawfully denied allot- ments of land" etc.
 Alter discussion, Mir. Davis agreed to withdraw the resolution to revise if for passage by the senate.
 Senator Davis later is-introduced his resolution without the preamble and 1t was passed without further debate.

 It is stated that the proposed organ ization will be capitalized for'S300 00o,- 900 and because of the heavy corpora te fees and other restrictions ,n Missouri. the concern will probably be incorpor- ated in Delaware or New Jersey.

OUTBREAK BY SAILORS.

 Barbara Tradesmen.

They Resent Oyereharges bS S@hte
 Barbara TRadesmen.
 Santa Barbara, Cal. April 2s.--An outbreak occurred in the street last night In which several hundred sailors threw stones and clubs and partiaily wrecked a small resta urant at 12l State Street. owned by John Sentch.
 It was a continuation of numerous amaIl dificulties which have occurred during the week the fleet has been here. between sailors and local trades- men. The bad feeling has been due nrinctpally to a system of overcharge in payments of meals and other pur- chases with which the sailors have been confronted.
 Last night Senich attempted 10 charge two of the men $6 for meal a price which they deemed exoroltant' They demurred to the payment but the shore patrol compelled a settlement for the bill because the men had not inouired the price before ordering. La fer they reported the incident to shore iiberty parties and finally large crowds conRregated in front of the place ana commenced to throw stones and other missiles Windows and glass fixtures were smashed while the proprietor ana ern ployes fled. The shore patrol rushed 10 the scene and soon dispersed the crowd.
 The sailors have been dissatisfied u,ith the lack of entertainment here. More than three thousand of them nave come ashore each day. but many after spendinE a few hours in the town nave either taken the train to Los Angeles nr returned to their ships.
 Alleged over charging mas been nu- noerous and considerable ill-feeling has been enEendered.

 Complaint Of Unfairness

are the same as to Mobile and Pensa- cola. The rates from Cincinnati to all these points are also the same. From Cincinnati the rates are made by add ing to the Louisville tariff the differ ential of 10 per cent from Cincinnati to the rwer.> These rates are on all classes and commodities with a few ex- captions. The lettered classes, Mir. Kealhofer said, have been largely su- perceded by the commodity rates.
 Commissioner Clements here stated that all tariffs and, contracts pertinent to the hearing for comparison will be considered a part of the testimony without physical introduction. These may be filed later If desired.
 After showing that rates from St. Louis. Omaha and Kansas City to Mo- bile and Pensacola are considerably lower than to Montgomery, the witness said that to Montgomery from these points of the West the rates are con- structed by adding differentials over Cairo, Columbus. Ky, and other river crossings. The rates of the Western classification are added to the rates beyond the river crossings mentioned. The Western classification is higher than the Southern.
 Mir. Kealhofer said that the rates from Chicago to Pensacola are made by adding what Is known as propor- tional rate to the river points to the local below and east of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. This can be done only by the consent of the lines south of the Ohio.
 How Rates Are Made.
 It was shown that the situation Is such that rates from Chicago, Omaha a and Kansas City to Mobile with the local added to Montgomery are less than the published through rates to Montgomery from the Western points named. In a few instances recently rates from St. Louis to Montgomery have been reduced on what was called the Mobile combination. It was claim ed by the witness that the regular diff ferentials have not been observed in constructing rates from St. Louis to Montgomery, that there Is no uniform ity in such constructions It is proba- ble that the rates are made on nothing more than the Mobile combination. he said.
 :. Asked what was effect the alleged dis crdmdnations against Montgomery in favor of Mobile and Pensacola, Mir. Kea1hofer said that Pensacola and Mo- bile can come into Greenville., forty four miles from Montgomery and com pete with the latter city as distribut- ing points. Greenvtlle is 13S miles from Mobile and 11S miles from Pensa- cola. Below Greenville on the main commodities and articles the rates op-

WATER FOR SAN SIMON.

DOUGLAS, Feb. 19.-(Special.)-
The settlers of San Simon valley
have now within their power the means
of learning whether astesian water ex-
lists for their use. The assistance that
has made It possible for them 10 I'M
dertake this costly prospecting work
has come from the Ell Paso & South
western railroad.
Every one of the many settlers who
have recently taken up land in the
valley has felt sanguine that such a
means for irrigating their lands ex,
ISIS if only it could be shown conclu-
sively. AS there is no one man in
the valley able to risk the expense OF
carrying on the experiment single
handed. The settlers few weeks age
organized the "Rodeo Artesian Well
association" whose object was to pro
mote the movement to secure a thor
ough test.
]. J. Jones OF Douglas has just re
ceiyed a letter from A. t. Prather o.
the Rodeo association stating that the
