mind and spirit, as he paced back and
forth In a cell in the city jail yester-
day afternoon, when he was asked for
a statement relative to the killing of
his wife at their home near Molino
late Wednesday afternoon. He was
brought to the city yesterda! morning
after the coroner had returned a ver-
dict that Mrs. Morgan had met death

Mr.. Morgan realizes his predicamen
in every particular. If he Is ever tried
on the charges against him now, that

his efforts, there will be no defense.
Or at least he stated this much yester

With the simplicity Of child, the

SALE Of SEGREGATED INDIAN LANDS
STATE DELEGATION WORKING FOR t

McAlester Okla, juno t.-Unitcd
States senator Robert J.. owen, while
on a visit to Oklahoma recently, stat
ed the belief that the oklahoma dele
cation in congress will Dee able TO
get bill passed this session pro
viding for the sale OF the 100000
acres of segregated coal and asphalt
lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations. The delegation is working
tremendously on a plan OF action and
the bill will provide taH, the sur
face Of the lands shall 1c sold with
out reference to the Goa and asphalt
deposits.
such a bill. it is generally asserted
here, viii meet the approval of a
majority of the citizens ol This region
Of which McAlester is tine center and
principal city. Heretofore the Indians
have been divided as to the method
of disposing of these auds, a ma
iority usually contending Tor the sale
of the coal with the surface. During
recent years the white population has
grown enormously and all the while
they were unable to develop the sur
face of the lands for lac of title.
Lands Valuable for Various Purposes
More than half the lands are val
liable for agricultural and grazing
purposes, and they have been non
taxable. Agricultural leases have been
executed for one year only and the
lessees have not been inclined to
make improvements of any conse-
quence or till the soil to any advan-
tage. The lands are particularly val
liable for fruit Occasionally "A fire
burns the timber from a large area
and in few weeks thereafter the
hills are covered with wild grapes.
The grape industry it is contended.
could be developed here to a point
that would make it one of the lead
ing horticultural Industries of the
state.
Senator La Toilette has introduced
a bill providing for valuation of
the coal and asphalt lands of the
Cloctaw nations, and the surplus
lands in the Creek nation and the
sale of the surface. Provision is
made for leasing not exceeding five
sections of land to one person for
mining purposes, and every associa-
ton, officer, shareholder or agent
in such association in conducting
common carrier business is barred
from holding more than one area.
One-half of the royalties derived from
coal and asphalt leases shall be an
nually paid to the state of Oklahoma.
The bill also provides that no con
tracts made. or hereafter to be made,
by the tribal government of the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws, providing COM
missions for the sale of the mineral
rights. shall be valid, and no portion
of the money derived from such sale
shall ever be used to pay any such
premiums
