Looking to Sale Of lands.

McAlester, Okla, Nov. 15.-There
was a meeting here today of promi-
nent white men and Indians inter
gated coal lands of the Choctaws and
gatd coal lands of the Choctaws and
Chickasaws, the final settlement of
tribal affairs.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the representative of the
Indians. This committee is compos-
ed of Judge W. Hayes Fuller, Melvin
Cornish and Tom Hale.
The resolution declared that while
it was the prime purpose to secure
the sale of the surface to actual set
tiers they are in full accord with the
movement to settle all tribal affairs
at once. Congressman Carter ad-
dressed the meeting and said he
would act in accord with the wishes
expressed here today.
