-Lawton, Okla, Feb, %: Quannah
Parker, chief of the Comanche Indians
last of the great Indian braves who
once spread terror among white set
tiers Of the southwest, died at his home
at the foot Of the Wichita mountains
near Lawton at 1905 o'clock this az
ternoon from a severe attack Of rheu-
matism which affected the heart.
ouannah Parker was 81 years old. His
mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, was tax
en- captive by the Indians when other
members Of the family of settlers from
Illinois were killed in raid. At that
time she was a child and she grew to
womanhood among the Indians, finally
marrying the chief, Petanocana. Be-
fore the latter's death he designated
Ouannah to be his successor when he
had proved himself worthy OF the
throne by bravery. Four years later
the young chief, then IS years old, re-
organized the tribe and went on the
war path, leading numerous raids un-
til the establishment of Fort Sill in
1874, when he surrendered to General
Mckenzie.
Am issue of 100000 900 to $4,000, 900
of 3 per cent Panama bonds seems GER
tain to be made as soon as congress
passes the bill authorizing the secre-
tary of treasury to withhold the new
securities from use as basis for addi-
tional national bank notes. In the
event that the present opposition to
the legislation affecting the bonds
should prevent its passage, an issue OF
8 per cent certificates Of Indebtedness.
having one year to run, Is probable.
That Is the treasury departments ten
tative plan now. In view Of the sale
of about S100,000.000 industrial i'm
provement bonds during January. and
the prediction that about $50O,OOO.OOO
more will find their way to market
within the next few months, treasury
officials agree that this Is propitious
time for an issue of government secur-
tiles. In any event, they would have
to be issued during the spring or early
summer. Secretary MacVeaeh wants
to make the issue popular one.
Treasury officials interpret the demand
from the country for centralized
banking system and the establishment
of more postal banks as indicating a
popular demand for government Sc
cured means of investment, such as
would be presented by bonds available
to the public.
Representative Hobson of Alabama
inferentially referring to Japan, told
the house Monday that the United
States might be involved in war within
ten months. Mr.. Hobson declared:
tho fnOprS of VOllT
two hands the number of months be-
fore the United States would have
war on it's hands. This nation is not
going to prepare and the day is COM
ing when It will be struck by nation
that is prepared" War is a visible
certainty?" asked Mr.. Driscoll of New
York. "Yes, and not very far of" In
the event of war between Russia and
China, would not Japan be forced to
intervene and would not the interests
Of the United States compel our inter-
yention by arms or otherwise?" quer-
led Mr.. Hinshaw. Mr.. Hobson replied
that when Russia invaded Manchuria
and occupied Port Arthur, America
protested and called on Russia to evac-
uate. and sent American consuls, but
we did not have any fleet in the Paci-
fc ocean and Russia laughed in our
face and we had to stop our consuls In
Japan before they get to Dalny and
Mukden whether we are struck from
the side of the Atlantic ocean or the
Pacific" Mr.. Hobson said, I'VE are GO
ing to find ourselves at a remarkably
early stage of the war absolutely helm
less" The house had under consid-
Grafton the naval approximation bill
and Mr.. Hobson was speaking of the
necessity of the United States adopt
ing definite military policy.

- Washington. February %: An
other bloodleSS battle was fought on
the floor of the house of representa-
tives. 1t came during a somewhat
heated debate on a bill for the leas-
ing of coal lands i'm Alaska. The lie
was passed and as the short and ugly
word rang out James Wickersham,
delegate from Alaska, made rush
for Representative Frank w. MOndell
of Wyoming. who was seated at
nearby desk The big Alaskan's
right arm shot out twice in the di-
rection of "the gentleman from wy
nming" but members who separated
the diSputantS at the time say that
both blows fell short. The house was
in an uproar in an instant. Several
members hurled themselves on Mr..
Wickersham; others were struggling
with Mr.. Mondell. who had gained
his feet and was making for his as
sailant. Representative Foster of
Vermont had taken Mr.. Wickcrsham
by the throat. This added TO the un-
controlled anger of the delegate and
for a moment diverted his attack to-
wards the would-be peacemak@r.
Representative SissiOn of Mississippi
was first to reach Mr.. Mondell. who
was endeavOring to raise the chair in
which he had been sitting. to hurl II
at his antagonist. Members rushed
toward the group from every part OF
the chamber and soon there were
nearly 100 men in the crowd about
the still struggling legislators. Mean
time Representatives Olmstead OF
