Senators Stafford of Oklahoma City
and Morris of Hooker led the fight
against 1t, declaring that they came to
the legislature to reduce taxes and not
to add to the burdens of taxpayers.
Senator Stafford declared that the bill
would swamp the larger counties with
court costs, adding to their expenses
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
The committee Of the whole arose

sentative Fowler. Of New Jersey, one
Of the original qlBsuEgents,p has in.
troduced resolutions. providing for
reorganization of tAe rules committee

The resolution aims straight at the

It's author.
The resolution provides that on
February Z, the house shall elect flve
additional members OF the committee

longer be member of the committee;
which shall consist Of the four mem.
bers heretofore appointed and the five

consisting Of six republicans and three
democrats. shall elect one OF It's num-
ber as chairman.
The house resolution which ! have
introduced had for its object the
broadening of the committee on rules
and the exclusion hereafter Of the
speaker of the house from that com
mittee." said Mr.. Fowler Not to

tion would disclose either a want Of

PROMULGATES LIVELY FEUD
Introduces Bill to Convert School Into
Natural Agricultural School
For Indians.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Chilocco
Indian school in Oklahoma has de-
veloped a fued between Representa-.
tive Campbell of Kansas and Repre-
sentative Mcclure of oklahoma It
broke out in the committee on Indian
affairs when Mr.. Campbell objected to
a provision in the Indian appropriation
bin which turned the Chiloeeo school
over to the state of oklahoma to be
used as an insane asylum
Mr. Campbell has followed up his
objections by introducing a bin which
is intended to convert the institution
into a natural agricultural school for
Indians. one provision of Mr. Camp.
BELLS bill provides for the sale of four
sections of the land belonging to the
school TO purchase agricultural equip
ments for the institution.

bell, Il object to the proposed dona-
tion by the federal government to the
state of Oklahoma Of an institution
that is easily worth 100000 Aside
from excellent buildings the govern
ment owns s.640 acres of land which
can be sold at $40 per acre. Before
the government turns over such a val
uable plant to Oklahoma some pro
visions should be made for a valuation
of the property and the state should
turn into the treasury something like
a reasonable consideration for the
school.
Then there are at present 467
pupils, with eighty-seven teachers that
should not be turned out into the
world without some educational oppor-
tunities. simply to furnish Oklahoma
free insane asylum It appears TO
me that We should convert the school
into a technical institution to give the
Indians some practical instructions.
The proposition Of turning the In
dian school over to the state is one
which Mr. Mcclure has been giving
considerable attention during this ses-
sion. He calls attention to the policy
Of the federal government in other
states where Indian schools have been
abandoned and thinks that II okla

Foul Play.

Oklahoma City, OKLA, Jan. 27.-
Alone, his jaw broken in three places,
unable TO speak for three days. and
the most mysterious circumstances
surrounding his death, George Tread

time a newspaper writer of national
reputation, lies dead at the Simon
Undertaking establishment, his death
having occurred amidst the most squa.

house, IL West Reno street Tues.
day night. His jawbone crushed, and
his teeth roughly fastened to his jaw
with small pieces of wire, he Is be-
lieved to have died as result of foul
play.
Several days ago James Kelley and
r. Jennings. who have been employed
by Ed. p. Bennett, a contractor OF this
city appeared at the rooming house
with Treadwell and engaged room
for him, paying the rent in advance.
No explanation for Treadwell's con-
dition was given, and Treadwell un-
able to speak could give no explana-
ton himself For three days he lay
amid rags, and the most revolving sur
roundings, the small wires which had
been roughly wrapped about his teeth
and gums. cutting deeply into the
flesh.
Those at the rooming house appar-
emily knew of no effort to have his
condition become known, and were
content for him to die without medi-
cal attention.
No clue as to the cause of his death
or the circumstances surrounding the
!, accident occurring before he was talk
en- to the rooming house has been
found.
- Indications are that following an
altereation, his jaw was broken by a
heavy blow, which also knocked his
:. teeth from his gums. Efforts were
then made by those committing the
act to fasten the teeth In their place

During the few days which he spent
in the rooming house prior to his
death he was only able to partake of

or soup.
