That was how close Vice-President
Sherman came TO the insurgent ques-
tion last night when he addressed a
crowd of ten thousand people in High
land Park at the edge of the city.
It was the largest gathering that the
yiee-presldent has faced on his tour
OF the southwest, and 1t responded
heartily to his enunciation OF party
doctrines.
This Is no time for quarrels in the
party" declared Mr.. Sherman; 1T is
no time for a division of feeling on

MEN HELD UNDER
DETENTION CLAUSE
Five Men Arrested in Connection With
Alleged Kiekapoo Frauds Must Wait
Instructions From Washington.

Guthrie. Okla, Aug. S1.--A. I.
Brown. w. L. Chapman, John Garrett,
L. c. Grimes and R. c. Conine, the
five men wanted in Mexico on charges
Of alleged Justification of public doc
uments in connection with the kicka'
poo Indian land cases, are all con-
fined IN the federal jail here awaiting
a hearing on their application for
bond.
While as yet they have made no
formal application to be admitted
to bail, it is expected they will do
50 Immediately. The authorities are
waiting to hear from Washington as
to whether the requisition papers
from Mexico have reached there.
AS soon as this is ascerained
hearing will be had and the matter
OF bond determined. The men are
being held under the detention clause
Of the treaty between the United
States and the republic Of Mexico.
John Embry federal district attor-
ney, stated Tuesday that he had net
decided whether he would oppose
the application for bond. All the
men say they can make bond in any
sum demanded.
The men are being held under the
provisional detention clause OF the
treaty between the United States gov.
ernment and Mexico, which provides
that upon receiving q telegram from
the proper authorities Of that coun-
try that certain persons in the United
States are wanted for any Of the
crimes named ~ the treaty, the United
States government is TO cause their
arrest and detention until formal re-
quisition papers arrive. Prisoners may
be held for forty days under this
treaty.
AS some of the men held here have
strong political connections powerful
influence may be brought to bear up
on the federal government to induce
it to refuse to honor the requisition
for the i've men, on the ground that
If the men are sent to Old Mexico
they may not be accorded fair treat
ment.
In October, 1907. United States At
torney John Embry filed 80 suits to
recover the lands which are alleged
to have been taken from the Kieka.
poo Indians by fraud. These suits
are still pending In the federal court
here for determination. In January,
1909, the State of Texas, through a
grand jury sitting at Eagle Pass, se-
cured 96 indictments against some
of the men who are now held on the
fugitive warrants here, charging them
with defrauding the Kiekapoos out Of
their lands by forgery and other H.
legal methods. The men indicted at
that time were w L. Chapman. L. c.
Grimes, A. L. Brown, d. G. Conine and
Tony Alexander.
In February Of the same year, Gov.
Campbell Of Texas issued a requisltion
upon Gov Haskell Of Oklahoma for
the return to Texas for trial upon the
Indictment of Chapman, Grimes and
Brown and after a long hearing Gov.
Haskell refused to honor the requi.
sition. At that time Chapman was
