every question pFopounded by Mr.
Mcclure has been such an interroga-
tory as would assist in having these
negroes transferred to the blooded
tribal rolls. The title of the bill
should be changed and entitled, "a
bill Indianizing negroes. Congress-
man Charley Carter is simply taking
the lead in this fight because almost
the entire deal is in his district. The
majority of the boys are with Charley
and we will win out in this contest"
Upon being questioned, Mr.. Nc
Guire admitted that the purpose of
his bill was to transfer the freedmen
to the tribal rolls, and that If this
freedmen proposition were eliminated
he would oppose the bill.
Congressman Carter smiled about
the newspaper article and only said:
"The die is cast and we are satisfied
with the issue. 1t is plain attempt
to despoil the Indian and cast a
stigma upon his citizenship It pro-
poses to plunder the Indian for the
pelf of the coon, and in that contest l
wish to be recorded on the side of the
Indian"

SUPREME COURT TO
HEAR TAX CASES
Situation at Present in Regard tc
Status for Suit to Exempt
Lands of Indians.

Many questions are asked daily re-
garding the status of the suits
brought to enjoin the collection of
taxes on the lands of the allottees of
the old Cherokee Nation, and the situ-
alton at present is one of much in
terest.
Several months ago a petition was
filed in the district court by Parker,
Rider & Brown, attorneys for certain
allottees in ottawa county, asking for
an order to enjoin the collection of
taxes on both the homestead and sur
plus lands of those Indian plaintiffs.
Later Attorneys J. s. Davenport and
w. P. Thompson on behalf of the In
dian citizens of other counties, insti-
tuted similar suit. A test case was
submitted by Messrs. Davenport and
Thompson before Judge Pitchford. of
the district court for Cherokee county,
sitting at Tahlequah. Their applica-
tion for an injunction was denied
Later Mr.. Rider presented the
same cause to Judge Tom Brown, pre-
siding over the district court, at Mi
ami, and was granted an injunction in
so far as the homestead allotments
were concerned.
The situation at present is that
certain citizens of Ottawa county are
exempted, at least temporarily from
the payment of taxes on their home
stead allotments, while the other cit
izens are not.
Both of the above cases will be car
ried to the state supreme court and a
decision rendered that will be bind
ing to all.
Suits have also been instituted by
the United States attorney and are
pending in the federal court for the
eastern district, that will involve the
same questions. These suits will now
be pushed to speedy decision.

TRAINED ANIMALS A FEATURE.
Sparks Shows introduce Many Four
Footed Actors.

Just to enthuse the young ones and
bewilder and astonish those who are
not so young, the Sparks Shows is
coming Monday, May 2, The circus
will give two performances of the
biggest entertainment that has ever
been attempted by the management
of the Sparks Shows. The people will
have an opportunity of seeing num-
Der of the best trained animal acts in
the history of the circus business. The
herd of trained elephants, wonderful
contrast with those seen in the past,
have been brought from Europe re-
Gently to add to this seasons pro-
gramme and a sensational and spec
tecular horse act is another important
feature on the bill.
The menagerie also affords unusual
interest to those who are fond of ami
mails. In it are presented many new
specimens hitherto unknown to the
ZOOS Of America.
The regular programme abounds in
wonderful acts.
All of the worlds greatest gymnasts
aerialists, acrobats and equestrains
have place on the bill. The things
performed by the trained animals are
extraordinary. These are elephants
which play on musical instruments,
horses that play balloon polo and dogs
that take part in an exciting game of
football The performance opens with
a huge spectacle that is brilliant in
its colorings and massive in its effects.

INDICTMENTS WILL
NOT Be QUAsHED
Attorney General wickersham Says
Haskell Case viii Be Prosecut-
ed Even More Vigorously

Washington, d. c., April 25-At-
torney General Wickersham announc-
ed Saturday that the indictments
against Governor Haskell in the Mus
kogee town lot cases will not be
quashed, but, on the contrary will be
prosecuted with vigor.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon the department
of justice to have the indictments
quashed but without avail. Indeed.
SO strong has been the representa-
tions in the interest of Governor Has
kell that Attorney General Wicker
sham has found it necessary to give
the case his personal attention, and
1t is only after thorough investiga-
tion and study that the department
has determined to assist United
States Attorney Gregg and Assistant
Attorney General Rush. The case will
be heard next month and the co-opera-
tion of the department of justice with
the United States attorney is assured.
Senator Bailey Retained.
Senator Bailey of Texas has recent
ly interested himself in the case and
has CONFERRED with the attorney gen.
eral on several occasions with refer
ence to the Haskell indictments, and
the impression is general that the
junior senator from Texas has been
retained by Governor Haskell as his
personal attorney. Recently Senator
Bailey has considered the advisability
of offering resolution in the senate
calling ON the department of justice
for the investigation of the United
States attorneys Office in the Haskell
prosecution, but has changed his
mind, and there seems to be little or
no likelihood of the case being dragged
into congress.

STILL HAS LETTER
FROM MARK TWAIN
Attorney chas. 3. Rogers is Proud
Possessor of Letter Written Him
by Humorist When a Youth

Attorney Chas. B. Rogers has one
letter at least of which he feels duly
proud, and one which he proposes to
keep. 1t is letter written to him sew
eral years ago by Mark Twain, the
great humorist whose death last week
caused the nation to mourn. Mr..
Rogers was in a reminiscent mood
this morning and told a representative
of the Chieftain about the letter.
According to the story as told by
Mr.. Rogers the letter was in reply
to one written the great humorist urg-
ing him to make the race for the
presidency of the United States.
At that time Mr.. Rogers was only
in his teens and was a member of
club composed of young men and
known as the Smoke House Club.
They read and discussed the work of
various literary men. Mark Twain
was particularly conspicuous at this
time by reason of the recent publi-
cation of some of his most popular
books. The club decided to ask Mark
Twain to become a candidate for pres
ident of the United States. Carrying
out the will of the club and in spirit
of humor Mr. Rogers wrote to Mr..
Clemens, telling him Of the clubs ac-
ton and asking that he make the
campaign. Mark Twain replied to the
letter and Mr.. Rogers has kept the
letter. This reply was addressed to
Mr. Rogers and ran as follows:
Dear sir: AS the representative
of your club, | desire to express my
thanks and appreciation of the very
high honor you have conferred by ten
dering me the nomination for the
presidency of the United States. l
had not intended making the race
next year, (the next year was the
year of the presidential campaign) but
since your club has invited me shall
give careful consideration as to wheth-
er will or not and will say and as
sure you that in case I do, and am
elected, will see that each of you re-
ceive postoffice and chrome.
(Signed) SAMUEL L. CLEMENS"

TOO MANY SENATORS
ATTEND BALL GAME
Not Probable That Measure viii Be
Sent to Conference For at
Least Ten Days.

Washington, April 25.-The Mara
Ithon" between the senate and house
for the distinction of being the first
to pass President Taft's railroad leg
islation is attracting unusual interest.
Both branches of congress had hoped
to reach votes before the close of this
week, but the senate seems to have
encountered several obstacles, and
from present indications it will be ten
days probably before the measure is
| hnt to conference.
Representative Mann of Illinois, who
has charge of the BILL succeeded in
getting an order for the consideration
of the bill for amendment under the
five-minute rule. 1t is likely he can
bring the measure to final vote by
Thursday or Friday
On the senate side exasperating de-
lays have been provoked by the desire
of members to go to the baseball
games. Senator Elkins says he could
have put through several important
provisions during the past week If it
had not been for the absence of so
many of his colleagues. AS matter
of fact, Mr.. Elkins did not exaggerate
the situation, although he was speak
ing jocularly.
senator Elkins reported that he had
sufficient votes to defeat the Cummins
substitute for the Elkins-Crawford pro
vision, which the senators in charge of
the bill want adopted.
Then let's get a vote" urged SEN
ator Aldrich
1T wouldn't be safe today said Mr..
Elkins. TOO many senators are at
tending the ball game"
"That would affect both sides,
wouldn't it?' persisted Mr.. Aldrich.
Z don't know about that" replied
Mr.. Elkins 1T seems to be our fel-
lows who are away"
do these baseball games keep on
all summer" asked Mr.. Aldrich, in
grieyed tone. Plain, he did not know
Vice President Sherman or Senator
Crane could have answered, for both
of them were at the ball grounds So
a newspaper man had to tell him:
twenty-five out of the next twenty
nine games will be played in Washing
ton"
Hump" Mr.. Aldrich condensed
world of meaning in this comment.
Noses then were counted. Mr.. Elkins
made no attempt to get vote
After the railroad bill is out of the
way the house expects to begin work
on the postal savings bank measure,
although it may require a caucus of
the house republicans to get the bill
out of committee. The senate bill does
not meet with general approval in the
house and the contest over it will be
spirited
Hearings will be had on the Moon
bill for the regulation of injunctions,
and naturally this measure will follow
next on the house programme. State

last of all of the administration pol
icies to be considered
