INQUIRE BILL STRONGLY
OPPOSED BY CHOCTAW

Washington, D. c., Mar. 45.-It de
veloped that E. P. Hin of McAleste
and ormsby McHarg of New York

gone to Oklahoma 70 gather evldenc,

of Indians. who, he claimed, eithe
had been denied enrolment altogethe
or are now on the freedmans roll. Tbt
genuineness Of many Of the photo

said that Hill and McHarg will a.

Indications are that the Indian ap
preparation bill will be finally dispos

days, as both the house and senate
conferees have been named.
Chairman Burke, together Wit
Campbell of Kansas and Stephens OF
Texas, will represent the house. while
the senate will have Chairman Clapy

bin opens the way for thousands Of
negroes claiming Indian blood to get
on the rolls. Hence the intense feel.
ing in the matter against the Pawnee
congressman in the Choctaw and
Chlckasaw nations.
Most Of the threatening communica.
tlons speak out boldly. There are
little or no yelled threats. Thus in
letter bearing an Ardmore postmark,
Mr. Mcclure Is informed that II his
