 GREsS AT MUsKooEE.

Muskogee, Ok, Oct. 12-Addressing IS tribes Of Indians assembled here Tor the Indian congress, Richard A.

 The Indian chiefs from IS different tribes, majority from Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Kansas, were grouped around the secretary There were hundreds of mixed bloods in the audience.
 The meeting followed an afternoon conference between the Indian chiefs and the Indian department officials. The most important subject discussed with the tribal authorities, particular ly the attorneys. was relative to the sale of the unallotted lands in the five civilized tribes, and the amount of royalty that tAe Indian Is receiving for oil.
 Auction Sale of Lands.
 Mir. Ballinger said that the unal- lotted lands will be sold at once and that 1t will be at public auction. There are nearly 2,000,000 acres of these lands. He also said that while he be- lieved there was a combination to keep down the price of oil, and there by rob the Indian allotttee of his share, this was not yet proved, but was under investigation. Ife closed with the statement that it is to the in terest of the Indians, the state and the government to close all tribal affairs as rapidly as possible.
 Secretary Ballinger will go to Tulsa where he will confer with the oil men and endeavor to ascertain if possible whether there Is combination exist Ing between the four pipe line com panies and other purchasers of crude oil to control the price. Later he will go to McAlester, where there will be another conference with Choctaw tribal officials concerning the segre- grated coal lands and the sale of the unallotted lands.

At q special meeting OF the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the Union National Bank held on the
nineteenth day OF July. nineteen hundred and
ten, the following resolutions were adopted:
The members OF this board have learned With
deep and profound sorrow OF the death OF DR..
Leslie ID. Ward. who has been vice-president
and a director of this bank since Its organiza-
ton.
His very valuable services were always freely
given to promote the welfare and progress Of
the bank. and his exceptional ability and sound
financial views will be remembered with last
ing and most grateful appreciation.
In the many large and important institutions
with which he was connected in this and other
cities his name has always been a tower Of
strength.
He was brilliant in thought and action. and
combining with this a most genial and loveble
disposition and charming personality he at
tained a well deserved prominence and pop
iarity which extended far beyond the borders
OF hts native Stats.
His clear foresight and sound Judgment were
exhibited when he became one of the pioneers
Of Industrial insurance In this country. as with
very able associates he devoted his untirfng
energy and enthusiastic efforts to the promo
ton OF that great enterprise which with ever
widening fields has become q mighty force for
good. extending a great beneficent influence
Throughout our country
His patriotism and love of country were dis
played when at the age of sixteen he enlisted
for service In the army in defense of HIS coun-
frye nag, and he has ever been ready to re-
spond to the many calls made upon him in the
interest OF the public health and welfare.
In every sphere of life in which he was ac-
lively engaged marked success has attended his
well directed efforts.
He was greatly devoted and deeply interested
In the best interests Of the city Of Newark, and
he has been a progressive and powerful force
in its expansion and advancement.
His homo was his delight. and the rare cul-
ture and taste which he there displayed vera
also exhibited in the large constructive work
for the public in which ne took a leading part.
He was prominent In many charities and lib
erel in his donations to charitable and religious
organizations
The State and city. the business community
and a host of his devoted friends have suffered
an almost irreparable loss.
We wish to extend our sincere sympathy TO
his bereaved family.
We direct that these resolutions be recorded
In our minutes and published In the daily prees.
and that an engrossed copy be sent to his
family.
