OF the Oklahoma delegation today
that the President Is anxious To
have the affairs Of the Five Civilized
Tribes closed up speedily, and would
have the bill provide for the dlspo

speedily and in a business like way,
yet at the same time with ample pro-
lection TO the Indians and with a pro-
vision limiting the holdings in or.
der to keep tho coal from falling into
the hands Of monopoly.
It is expected that Secretary Bal
linger will shortly recommend TO the
house committee on Indian affairs
the passage Of the Creager bill with
certain notifications OF the provision
for the sale Of the coal lands.
Such q bill, IL Is understood, would
meet with gsrong opposition from

Of the coal to the goyernr cnt for the
