TO PAY EASTERN
CHEROKEE CLAIMS
Indian Appropriation Bill Also Con-
tains other Appropriation of
Interest TO Oklahoma.

Washington, d. c., Mar l3.-The
present plan of the government is
to pay out about five million dollars
in the Cherokee nation between the
first of July and the 3lst of Decem-
Der of this year
Jessie Wilson, assistant secretary
of the interior. states that the gov
ernment will be ready to pay the
money on the uncompleted allotment
of the Cherokee nation. in cases
where less than $50 worth of land is
yet due, the first of July. The pay
ment is directed by law passed at
the last session of congress- w. W..
Hastings, national attorney for the
Cherokees and one of the best post
ed men on tribual affairs in the Cher
okee nation, says that it will take
at least a million dollars to make this
equalization. The money comes out
of the funds of the Cherokees now in
the United States treasury 1t will
be distributed to about 80 per cent
of the Cherokee allottees and they
will get all the way from four or five
dollars up to 500 each.
There will be about four million
dollars of the Eastern Cherokee
money and according to the best in
formation obtainable at the depart
ment Of the interior, this payment is
also scheduled to begin about the first
of July. The roll is ordered com
pleted the last of May, and there is
no necessity for more than a months
delay in starting the actual payment
of the cash
This money will not he so gener-
ally distributed as the equalization
payment. 1t goes only to Eastern
Cherokees and their heirs. Some per-
sons will receive large sums running
into the thousands it is claimed be-
cause of inheriting the money that
would have been paid to the original
beneficiaries. Others will receive but
very small amount because OF so
many heirs to the estate of an East
ern Cherokee.

STATE LEGISLATURE
ENDS ITS LABORS
Closing Hours Marked BY Rush of
Business In Presence of Crowd
ed Galleries.

Guthrie, okla, Mar 13.-Yesterday
was the last day of the present ses-
sion OF the Oklahoma legislature and
both house and senate got busy in
dead earnest to complete all neces-
sary legislation by midnight, if pos
sible Many bills We're considered
in committee of the whole, and a num-
Der of others were passed on final
roll call
For the past two days the house
has been considering only senate bills
and the senate has been working sole
ly on house measures. This is due
to the fact that bill from one house
must be read and considered on three
separate days in the other branch of
the legislature.
At midnight the Legislature had not
yet adjourned and it seemed probable
the end OF the session would not be
reached for several hours. The gal
leries of both houses of the assembly
were crowded with visitors, large
proportion being ladies', anxious to
witness the closing scenes of the sec
ond session O. the states law making
body.
Up to midnight the house had pass
ed appropriation bills amounting to
81 500 600. Much of the attention Of
the house yesterday was devoted to
routine matters.
Work Accomplished.
During this session 3S1 bills have
been introduced in the senate and
SS7 in the house. The last bill in
troduced in the house was for an
appropriation amounting to $4,000.
The hardest fight that has marked
the session was the contest on the
Yeaker-Strain bill which was finally
passed yesterday
The total expenses of both houses
during the session for salaries
amounting to $7S,695.5O Appropri-
ations made during the entire ses-
sion amounted to $5,OO0,OOO
Some Commentaries.

Senator Taylor of Chickasha. demo
crat. said that of all the legislation
enacted, the bill of most value to the
public was the school bill, and politi-
cally the most important measures
we're the primary and general election
bills.
Representative iIumDhries. OF Alto
ka, asserted that no good bills had
been passed during the session oe-
clared that they all either created
Offices or raised salaries
Minority leader Jones of the house
said that in his opinion comparatively
nothing had been done.
The house struck out the item of
SS6 900 to pay the Pipes-Reed Co.. of
Kansas City for the publication of
six thousand volumes of last years
statutes.
