INDIANS APPEAL TO SENATE
PROTEST AGAINST REOPENING
CITIZENSHIP ROLLS.
Petition Recites Injustice Done Choc.
taws and Chickasaws by False
Claimants to Lands.

On behalf of the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians Senator Owen of. Oklahoma
has presented to the Senate petition
from the general council Of those tribes
protesting against the reopenins of their.
citizenship rolls. The petition is review
Of all the efforts that have been made to
establish correct citizenship rolls up ito
the time of the action by the Choctaw
and; Chickasaw citizenship court, by
which only about 100 out of more than
= 200 applicants were accepted. II Is con-
tended that the claims of these appli-
cants, which had been favorably passed
upon by the district courts, were largely
fraudulent, and the petition declares that
many Of them were admitted on testi-
mony presented before masters Of the
court who were attorneys for the claim
ants
Tho Indians say they have expended
more than a million dollars in protecting
theft. rights against these applicants and
they declare that many of them We're ut
terly without grounds emitting them to
recognition. If, they, say, the establish
ment OF citizenship had been left as
originally to the Indian courts there would
have been no injustice, but they repre-
sent that a wrong step was taken when
the Dawes commission was given author
ity to prepare rolls, and that even worse
than this was the reference to the courts
of the white men and their masters.
It was these courts which admitted SO
many claimants which the Indians de-
clare to be impostors, but their work was
largely reversed by the citizenship court
created in 1902. 1t appears that there is
now an effort to reopen the proceeding
and give the claimants another opportuni-
ity, which the Indians seek to prevent.
In their petition they charge that many of
the false claims TO citizenship are IN
spired by attorneys who encourage ap-
plicantS in the hope of obtaining large
fees in the event of their success.
Many of these attorneys, they declare,
are lobbyists. and 1t is asserted that
favorite plan of some Of them Is to pre-
sent senator's representatives and officials
of the government persons of dark COM
plexion whom they represent to be Choc-
taw or Chickasaw Indians, when as
matter Of fact many OF them are not
Indians at all.

MAKING GOLD LEAF.
The Metal Is Beaten For Hours by
Men, Then Finished by Girls.

streets may be seen sticking from one

hammer and the whole sign gilded. II

lishment. where thousands of the gold
sheets are turned out after having
been packed by girls.
Gold leaf Is packed more by the aid
Of the breath than by the hands The
operation of transferring a sheet of
almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another is so delicate that It
Is possible to do 1t only by light
puff OF the breath. 1t takes most girls
six weeks TO acquire this knack, and
some girls are never able to acquire it.
The gold reaches the beaters first
In wide bars or nuggets and has to be
weighed. melted and made into inch
wide ribbons before anything else is
done. The ribbon is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with a hammer
welded by a man. When each leaf
has been beaten thin 1t Is transferred
to a mold. where 1t is beaten four
hours more. The beating Is done with
wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds, on sheep
skin cushion. which rests ON a granite
block. The gold used for beating is
usually 90 or % carats fine. A little
alloy of copper or silver is added to
make II spread. 1t would be impos-
sible. the beaters say. TO handle per-
fectly pure gold.
After the gold has been beaten 1t
is handed over to the girls. who lift
