Washington. March ia lively con-
test in the senate Thursday afternoon
between Senator owen of Oklahoma and
Senator Curtis of Kansas, both of
whom have Indian blood, resulted in
favor of Curtis and Oklahoma will not

bill.
The Chilocco school is just south of
Arkansas City, Kan. and it's lands ex-
tend up to the state line. The school
was built to accommodate 500 Indian
children. but the number of pupils has
been gradually reduced because the
Indian children are going to the schools

SO He Declares in a Sensation
al Address Before the
Senate Yesterday.
MADE BY LAND-GRABBERS
WHO WERE AFTER PROPERTY IN
THE OKLAHOMA ASPHALT AND
COAL FIELDS - WlTHHOIDS
NAMES OF BRlBERs,

Washington, June 25.-In the Senate
yesterday Senator Gore, the blind
member from Oklahoma, made the
sensational declaration that an at
tempt had been made to influence his
action in legislation, respecting Indian
coal and asphalt lands in his state. by
an offer of $4,000, or if need be,
$4,000.
Cores statement was so explicit and
the matter involved was of such i'm
pcrtance that the Senate took quick
cOgnizance Of it by resembling its &C
ton on a certain bill.
While he did not mention upon the
floor of the Senate the name Of the
man who he said approached him,
Gore said later that it was a former
Chairman of the Republican Central
Committee, who asserted that his sug-
gestion was made in behalf of men,
Der of the law firm of Mansfield, Nc
Murray e Cornish, who have thous-
ands of individual contracts with Choc-
taw and Chickasaw Indians of Okla
gressional committees and in sIbse-
quent proceedings pertaining to the
disposition of their lands.
Senator Gore further charged that
two former United States Senators
were interested in the legislation, and
he further said that man who is now
a Senator, and another. who is a men,
Der of the present House, also We're
interested in it.
Wanted the Two Senators.
Although he did not call the names
of these two members, and did not di-
vulge them in private conversation, he
revealed outside the Senate chamber
the identity of the two former Sena-
tors. But no charge was made by him
that they had had any part in the at
tempt to influence his action by a mon
ey consideration.
While Senator Burton held the floor
Senator Gore first obtained consent of
the Ohio senator to call the matter to
the attention of the senate. He de-
clared that under existing law con.
tracts made or authorized by the In
dian councils must be approved by
the president. The original contracts
got by McMurray with the Indians, and
against which he protested, had been
disapproved by President Roosevelt
Thereupon individual contracts had
been procured from some 10000 In,
dams, representing minors and adults
to the number of 10000. He said there
was no provision of law which requir
ed that the president should approve
| individual contracts and then went on
to say that on May 4, he had intro
duced a bill providing that these indi
| vidual contracts should be approved by
congress before having any validity
On the following day the measure was
authorized to be reported favorably
by Senator Hughes of Colorado, from
the committee on public lands.

New York, June 25.-What is the
right age to marry!
DR.. Behrn Claflin, a physician of
Chicago, who at IS has just taken un-
to himself a second wife, is RESPONSE
BILE for the declaration that American
men and women are welded much too
late in life.
In favor of this reactionary theory
we have only the recent assertion OF
DR.. Jaques Bertillon that married per-
sons live longer than those who wear
single harness, and some figures
which Dr. William II. Guffey, New
York's registrar or records. gives sup
port to the French scientists assertion.
Roughly speaking" said the regis
trar. there were 1,127,OOO single per-
sons in New York last year-that
means males of all ages, including in
fants. OF these 3O7 in a thousand died
There were 100000 females with q
death rate of 40 per 900 or lower
than the male death rate by almost 80
per cent.
I'm the same year there were $780,
600 married men in the city with a
uCdIu IdLc Vi Ia pei IuOuodhu, Iho
$4,000 married women Of whom 1855
in 1000 died. So, among men, only ~
benedicts against 30 bachelors in 1000
died. On the surface this indicates
a difference of more than 30 per cent
in favor of the married, but that would
not fair assumption, for the figures OF
single persons include all ages.
But the apparent difference in the
death rate of unmarried and married
women is by no means SO great-less
than two per thousand, in fact. So
while l am not prepared to say that
married women are no healthier and
have no greater probability of life
than unmarried ones, without going
more deeply into the question there is
not the same amount of evidence in
their favor as in the case of married
men,
Naturally If marriage is a form OF
life insurance the sooner man takes
out a policy the better. But there is
another and more interesting side
which is directly in opposition to tho
theories Of the unknown DR.. Claflin
the famous DR.. Bertillon and even the
figures of the nonpartisan DR.. Guilfoy.
