INVESTIGATORS
Will SHOW
NOFAVOR

Muskogee, June f2.-side By side
the white CRATER and the indian graft
er have got to stand and take their
just deserts with justice to both and
fayors to none This is the policy that
George Woodruff announced yesterday
would be pursued In the matter Of
clearing the titles Of Indian ailotments
In the old Indian territory It means
that the department Of justice has de-
cided that an Indian CRATER is no
better than a white CRATER and will
be treated accordingly IN the inyesti-
cation now Oh. The announcement will
cause intense satifaction over the
state
II is the first time that Washington
has ever accepted the Indian and the
white man On the same basis CONNER
cially
For the past two days conferences
have been held between Tie officials
here and the representative Of the
departments az Washington, trying to
unsnare some shaded questions and to
determine on policy to be pursued
in the work on hand
Yesterday the conference was over
how the data concerning the alIot-
ments which Indians have sold Or
leased Illegally shall be secured and
how It shall be handled after It has
been secured. Also the question Of
dividing the five civilized tribes Into
districts and the appointment Of de-
partment representatives as curators,
or rather agents I'd look after the in-
terests Of the minors and to report
whenever a case Is found where che
Indian Is not getting his rights There
win probably be fourteen men appoint
ed and fourteen districts named Each
man will be given a secretary and ST..
600 per year expenses, in addition to
his SLS00 per year salary
When Mr Woodruff announced that
the Indian and white CRATER would be
treated alike the greatest possible
step in securing the confidence Of the
people In this work was taken. Mr..
Woodruff stated that In cases where
it was shown that an Indian had made
a contract whit a white man 70 sell
hts land. had done # with knowledge
Of what he was doing and the price
Tor The land was fair the Indian would
be told that he ought to live an to the
contract and make a deed to the white
man when al Of the money is
paid and deed can properly be made.
In case this Is not done then the In.
dian win be asked to pay back any
money he has received from the white
man, and the white man viii be re-
qpested to deed the land back There
are hundreds Of such cases. where
white men have advanced money to
needy Indians, agreeing to give them
a fair price for their land and take
a deed whenever the Indian could
make good title
on the other hand. where It Is shown

As to the section lines, Mr.. Johns
said, @We are opening the roads along
the most available lines IN many
cases the half section lines are the
most practicable. and will be used in
stead Of the section lines"
The commissioners have been Civ
ing much study to the road and bridge
proposition, and while little noise has
been made about it, they have achieved
substantial progress in the solution Of
the large problem that confronts them.

LABOR MEN CONFER
Central Union Body Considers
the Proposed Temple.
DISPLEASED WITH FEATURES
Report Shows that No Definite Plans
OF Raising or Governing Funds of
ership OF Building and Liability
Also Considered by Committee.

A long discussion OF the plans OF the
National Temple Of Labor Association.
recently organized, marked the proceed
ings OF the Central Labor Union last
night
A lengthy report Of the affairs OF the
association was submitted by a special
committee. appointed by President Lerch,
OF the central body, and was read by the
chairman OF the committee
The report showed that no definite plans
for raising or securing the funds Of the
association had been made
Members Of the central body also
raised the question as to the ownership
Of the building when completed. Some
said the committee appointed by the Cen
tral Labor Union several months ago TO
look into the matter of raising funds and
erecting a temple OF labor and who had
incorporated themselves into an assocI-
alton. thereby becoming the dlrectorates,
would own the property. and not organ
lied labor. The report was tabled until
next Monday night. and the discussion
then promises 20 be interesting
Copies OF the Report,
A motion was made to have copies Of
the report printed for distribution among
the members OF the central body IN order
that they might know what they would
be expected to vote on at the next meet
ing.
The discussion became so spirited It
was difficult for the members who had
the floor 10 be heard. Following the re-
port. one Of the committee made a motion
TO furnish the members OF the Temple
Association with copies OF the report.
A member Of the association charged the
committe with unfairness. saying they
had asked TO be shown the report before
IL was submitted TO the central body, but
this was denied. Members OF the com
mittee claim they were not aided IN the
work OF investigating by the association.
and that since the association was made
up Of members OF the central body they
ought TO have given all the aid in their
power. The matter viii be taken I'D at
the next meeting
Following is the report, IN part, Of the
committee:
