LAND CRABBERS
TO BE CURBED
INDIAN LANDS LOOKED ON BY
THEM AS LEGlTi MATE PREY
SAYS MEMBER OF SPE-
clAL COMMITTEE.

Sulphur, Okla. Aug. 15--"Every
inch of land owned by the indians is
looked upon as legitimate prey of the
land graIbbers.'
This statement was made today by n
member of the committee investigat-
ing the Indian land contracts and was
based on the revelations brought out
during the present inquiry.
Some of the land grabbers schemes
certainly will be called to the attention
of congress" said the committeema.
"One man we have learned has be-
come rich. He kept a list of Indians
who owned allotted land. Whenever an
Indian died he rushed into court and
had a guardian appointed, and with
the connivance of the guardian de-
manded the land be sold under a ridi-
culously low valuation for a few hum
dred dollars. He has bought whole
sections of land. This man, who is
only one of many, starting with no
capital, now owns 10000 acres for
which he paid the Indians no adequate
compensation. AS there are in Okla
homa something like twenty million
acres of Indian lands 1t seems abso-
lutely imperative that congress take
prompt stops to prevent further land
grabbing"

Costly Exhibits in Belgian and
British Sections at the Worlds
Fair at Brussels Wiped
Out by Fire
MANY ART TREASURES SAVED
Displays Of Priceless Goods in Other
Sections Kept Out of Harms
Way - Two Lives Lost
and Many Hurt.
- Tts}lMH

Brussels, Aug. 15.-It is impossible
at present to estimate closely the loss
es In the fire which last night swept
through the Belgian exposition, wip-
ing out whole sections OF fairy-like
architecture and causing the loss Of
two lives but the damage will run
into millions of francs.
The losses, however, will not be so
great as at first believed, when they
were roughly estimated 100000, 900.
The entire Belgian and British sec
tions and the whole Kermesse Of
Brussels, with water chutes, toboggan
slides and other special entertainment.
and everything west Of the avenue
Des Nations, was destroyed. but by the
heroic work Of the flremen and troops,
and the use of dynamite in blowing
up buildings in the path Of the flames.
the fire was checked.
The British loss alone is estimated
at 100000. Practically everything
i'm the Danish American, Russian, Nor
wegian. Austrian, Japanese, Turkish
and Swiss sections was saved. Only
the facades Of the Italian and Span
sh sections, and about one-third of
the entire French section. the latter
containing n valuable art collection
were burned.
Priceless Treasures Saved.
Fortunately the most priceless art
treasures. which had been loaned to
the exposition, or acquired by It, IN
Guiding 5000 valuable Gobelin tapes
tries, a large exhibition of jewelry.
many paintings. marbles and ancient
furniture were removed beyond the
reach of the flames and pillaging crimi-
nails who attempted to take advant-
age of the disaster.
The reproduction OF the House of
Rubens, at Antwerp. containing mas
terpieces OF Flemish art of the Ru-
bens period, collected from the gall
leries of the world. was not even
scorched by the flames.
In the Belgian and British sections
the flames spread with such extraor-
binary rapidity that nothing was
saved except the plan of the coming
international exposition at Turin. Italy,
in 1911.
A strong gale carried the confagra-
tion through the Kermesse. jammed
with a Sunday crowd Of nearly 100,-
900 at the time of the outbreak with
such speed that II is considered a
miracle that the panic stricken masses
were gotten out with the loss of no
greater than two killed and thirty in
jured.
British Loss Very Heavy.
The British loss is very heavy. II
includes Tudor panelings from the To-
| ronto museum, costly Morlaix tapes
tries and priceless furniture for COLI
lections of Bernard More on which
he refused to set any price. They
were insured for 100000.
Most of the French dressmakers
exposition, insured for millions. was
| saved.
A few of the wild beasts in a me-
nagerie. which escaped suffocation in
the flames, which drove back soldiers
and attendants endeavoring to put
them out of misery, were shot down
by troops who found them covering in
fright in various parts of the grounds.
