Washington, D. c., Feb. q: Sen.

resentative SHEPPARD Of Texas called
on the president today to see if it is
possible for the federal government to
take action against white men in Okla
homa who are charged with frauds and
forgeries against the Kickapoo Indians,
A number of these went to live in
Mexico and when Oklahoma was ad-
mitted to- statehood the men who are
accused went there to secure the sig
natures of Indians to conveyances to
valuable lands in Oklahoma. Failing to
secure these, it is alleged, they re-
sorted to wholesale forgeries.
Indictments have been reported
against them. The Mexican govern
ment is also threatening to bring in
dictments. Governor Haskell of Okla
hona, so far, has refused to surrender
the men to the Texas authorities, it is
stated, and there is a strong feeling
that they should be brought to trial,
even if the federal government has to
take a hand. ss3t#.3.5 yS 5'5s'.-s (. al

Eight of the truants have been dis

vices from there tonight quote them as
declaring that they intend to remain
away from Nashville
Meanwhile state officials, it seems,
must get along without pay pending a
resumption of legislative business and
the assurance that the regular biennial
appropriation bills will be passed. The
state treasurer has been directed by the
two speakers of the legislature and the
two chairmen of the legislative finance
committees to temporarily suspend all
payments from the state treasury.

issued for the payment of newspaper

Washington, D. c., Feb.'27. -. The
long fight of the discharged negro SOL

opportunity to prove their innocence in
connection with the shooting up" of
Brownsville on the night of August
l3, 1906, was won today when the
house, by vote Of 21O to- 1O1, passed
the senate bill to that end. Vigorous
opposition was encountered from mem

were unavailing. ~. &2s.f$, 2..>4 s.

that the other had insulted him, and
