to talk The young man may have
been misleading the deputies at that

SENATE IS
READY FOR IT
CAN PASS THE TARIFF BILL
In THREE DAYS, SAYS
ALDRICH.
Payne Bill Hews Close to Lines of
Dingley Bill, Plesses the Sen
ate Standpatters.

Washington, March 25-Members
OF the senate committee on finance
reasserted today that they would be
ready to report tariff bill when
ever the house passed the Payne
bill. They were informed that that
time would not be more than ten
days or two weeks distant, in all
probability and Senator Aldrich re-
piled that the. senate committee
would be ready in three days if nee
essary.
With every days consideration of
the Payne bill the senate commit
tee is impressed with the fact that it
hews very close to the lines if the
Dingley bill, and as a result the work
of the committee is much simpllfied.
The changes to be made in the meas
ure will be far fewer in number than
was at first anticipated. The closest
attention is being paid to the admin
istrative features of the bill and es-
pec;al effort will be made TO avoid
the possibility bf under valuation
Of imports such as caused disturb
ance a few years ago over the i'm
portation OF fine potteries from
France
Another question which is concern
ing the finance committee is the re-
arrangement of schedules on related
articles. Among these is pig iron
and the manufactured products of pig
:ron Under the Payne bill some fear
is expressed that there is too great
similarity in the regulation of these
related articles. and that instead OF
the desired importation of iron in
pigs the manufactured products may
be imported in too great competi-
tion with American manufacturers.
While no agreement has been reach
ed by the senate committee, the indi-
cation is that the rate on the manu-
featured articles may be somewhat
increased
A proposition has been submitted
to the finance committee on the sub
ject of lumber which was received
with some favor 1t provides for the
free importation of dimensioned lum.
Der, but with the continuance of the
duty on Gull from which lumber OF
an inferior grade is manufactured.
Many complaints have reached the
finance committee concerning the
schedules in the Payne bill on
watches and the various parts i'm
ported from abroad for watch man
ufactnrers. The duty has been IN
creased on the finished product and
on all parts OF the watches with the
exception of diaAs Information has
been gathered which shows that
practice ally all the American manu-
featuring concerns have been driven
out of business in the United States
because of the cheaper manufacture
abroad and the low rate OF duty upon
imports.
These schedules have not been
reached by the senate committee.
Complaint also has been filed with
the committee against the more than
100 per cent increase of duty on
cocoa and chocolate Statements have
been submitted showing that cocoa
and chocolate are being used more
and more every year as breakfast
beverages and that the increased
duty will compel the consumer to
pay much for these articles

Mayoralty Candidate.
r. c. Minton, attorney for the

cities in favor of law and order and
the determination of the blind rig-
err were considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF drafting a candidate for mayor in
case the candidates III the establish
ed parties were not friendly TO their
opinions concerning law enforcement.
He reported that in these two cities
he found a strong sentiment in favor
OF such a step, due to the boldness
on the drugg sts in selling liquor in
Bloomington. and to the Dynamite
outrage in iMartinsville, in which an
attempt was made TO wreck the home

in the Morgan county campaign.

INDIANS SEPARATE
TO AVOID BATTLE
CRAZY. SNAKES BAND DE-
LAYS CLASH WITH TROOPS
BY SCATTERING.
Soldiers Use Bloodhounds in Seek
ing Chief, Who May be Raliying
Men for Stand

Oklahoma City, Okla, March W
Crazy Snakes band OF Creek Indians
so far has escaped a decisive battle
with the militia and citizens, although
one serious encounter took place to-
day. By scattering the red men have
confused the soldiers, and, while the
troops divided into squads are in hot
pursuit the fleeing Indians have
avoided a concerted stand.
Chitti Harjo or Crazy Snake, the
chief was sought in vain today, 1t be-
ing felt that his capture or death
would bring the uprising to an early
end He eluded all pursuers and to-
night is believed rallying what he
can of his forces in some strong po-
sition.
Bloodhounds After Chief
Bloodhounds have been put on the
trail of the much-wanted chief, and
today his house was burned by the
red men to hide evidence and divert
attention from them.
A detachment OF Crazy Snake
band was surrounded by deputies this
afternoon near Crazy Snakes home,
and a lively battle ensued. More than
200 shots were fired and one Indian
was killed. Eight Indians were cap
tured. and the remainder fled with
the deputies in pursuit. There were
about fifteen Indians in tile band that
had taken refuge in a house. The
deputies had tracked them for some
distance and were informed by far
mer OF their location.
Advancing from all four sides, the
posse fired a volley at the house. The
Indians rushed out, scattered among
the trees and made valiant defense.
The posse, firing all the while, stead
ily advanced and soon routed the
band. None of those captured are
seriously injured but it IS known tha;
a number Of Indians were hi; by the
posses shots.
Captured After Fight.
Those OF Crazy Snakes forces cap
tured today are: Little Tiger, SUBJ
chief. Esley Larney, Jimmie Roe, w.
E. Taylor, Tom Jeffries, John Lewis,
Abe Burgess, Simla Harjo, who is
not related to Chiati Harjo.
The captives were started for the
camp at Hickory Grounds under
heavy guard. Orders were issued
that the search be kept up and num-
crous parties went out during the
early hours OF the night to round up
the renegades AS fast as they were
captured they will be hurried to
Hickory Grounds which will be es-
tablished soon as a reconcentrado
camp BY this means the military
authorities expect to avoid a pitch
ed battle, but regard it as certain that
numerous small engagements will be
fought
The Indian killed by the posse was
the only fatality Of the day reported
to Colonel Hoffman. There are NUM-
erous rmmors OF engagements here
and there, with a varying number OF
fatalities, One story told that posse
of farmers near Checotah fought a
large band of negroe renegades and
killed twenty. This, with similar re-
ports, cannot be confirmed.

today reported to his superiors in
