/ similar bill which goes step far
ther and which provides in express
terms that the triDal existence
shall terminate on June 80. 1912.
This bill, as we'll as the proposed
department bill under consideration
by the house committee, while
bearing the caption for the finl
distribution of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes, etc." provides pri-
marily for the abolishing of the
tribal government and incidentally
for a partial disposition of the af-
fairs OF the tribes.
Congressman Carter of the Fourth
Oklahoma district was present at
tempting TO get consideration of
his bill for the sale of the segre-
gated mineral lands of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations, and when
asked to express himself upon the
departmental bill, replied that he
did not like the manner in which
the bill had been drawn.
Mystery, Says Carter.
1T emanates from some kind of
mysterious conference that nobody
seems 10 know anything OF, and
deals specifically and separately with
Indians in eastern Oklahoma. Yet,
so far as | have been abe to learn
no congressman from Oklahoma was
called into this mysterious conference
when the bill was drawn. | do not
desire to be captious, but | am tired
of having these matters brought up
in this manner without consulting
those congressman whose constitu-
ents are most vitality interested and
who should understand local condi-
tions.
1T should not be the policy of
congress to deal with these matters
in a partisan way, but even though
with in partisan manner, the repub-
lican members of our delegation
might have been consulted, which
understand was not done The bill
has not been made a public print,
and since no member of congress has
dignified it with his name, it does
not seem necessary to further dis
cuss the bill"
Mr. Carter then insisted that his
bill providing 70: the sale of the seq
regated mineral land in Choctaw ma
ton be taken up and chairman
Burke promised to give a hearing
on the dill at an early date.

New York, Sept. 23.-Inquiry is being
made by the authorities for the rela-
tives and next Of kin of q picturesque
old character named Alexander Alex
ander who died here the other day OF
exposure. In the latter years Of his
life, Alexander claimed that he had a
brother in London, who was worth g.
million dollars or more. Occasionally
he wrote to this brother and received
remittances from him. For twenty
five years he had done no work and
spent all his time fishing. He had a
boat in Gravesend Bay and in all sorts
Of weather used it to carry him off
Sandy Hook where, in the trough of
the sea, he angled for hours alone,
miles away from land. On his return
his catch was distributed among the
poor of the city, to whom he had given
hundreds Of ton Of the choicest blue
and wheat fish, bass and other deni-
gems of the deep.
The curious old man was well read
and was familiar with all the English
and some Of the Latin classics.
He was particularly partial to fish
ing in stormy weather, especially when
blizzard was sweeping the Hook and
driving ships into the harbor for pro-
lection from the wind and sleet. In an
old trunk found in his room the public
administrator found some papers which

connections on the other side. Typo

Taft has offended. Some of the Pres
tdent's offences cited are: His posi-
ton on the Payne-Aldrich law; his
position on the bill for the further
regulation of interstate commences; his
position on the change made in the
postal savings law; his position on
the control and disposition of the pub
lie domain; his position on the pro-
posed income tax law; his position on
the Canadian reciprocity bill; his
work for the peace treaties; his We
toes of the wooden schedule; the free
list bill. and the resolution admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as states.
As this list embraces nearly every
thing in which the president took a
part. Mr.. Taft evidently failed to
please the Insurgents in anything.
Philippine Independence.
Philippine independence in nine
This is the definite promise con-
tanned in a joint resolution fathered
by Judge Cyrus Cline, OF Indiana,
which resolution Speaker Champ
Clark declares will in all probability
be passed by the house this winter.
Judge Cline's plan provides that the
Fillipinos shall be permitted to elect
the upper house of the Philippine leg
islature in 1915, adopt in 1917 a con-
stitution to be approved by the United
States, and then comes the definite
promise that by July, 1920-nine years
hence-the United States shall with
draw sovereignty over the Philippines
and permit the Filipino people to es-
tablish an Independent representative
government.
Democrats Help Promise.
Last November Maine elected a
Democratic legislature pledged TO
statewide primaries. That promise
has just been fulfilled. exactly as the
Maine Democrats promised it would
be.
Three years ago the Republicans of
the nation elected William III. Taft to
the presidency on his personal pledge
that he would revise the tariff down.
ward. President Taft has turned down
two opportunities for getting promises
as soon as the election is won.
The Change of Heart.
Just why President Taft broke a
promise made to four members OF
Congress on the statehood question
has never been explained.
In the early days OF the extra ses-
sion four members Of the committee
on territories visited the president and
laid before him the draft OF a resolu-
ton admitting New Mexico and Ari-
xona into the Union as states. The
resolution provided that the recall
proposition would be submitted to the
people of Arizona, and that a majority
of the voters there should decide
whether 1t would be wise to retain
this provision, in the Arizona consti-
tuition. The bill was so framed that
neither Congress nor the President
would have to go on record as to the
merits of the recall President Taft
gave every Congressman present to
understand he would sign this reso-
luton. The committee. Republicans
and Democrats, left the White House
with this definite understanding.
These mebers made the statement
on the floor Of the house that the
President had agreed to sign the bill,
with the result that II was passed
by both branches of Congress. But
the President changed his mind and
vetoed the bill.
And he has not yet explained why.

NOTES FROM FLORIDA
STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
Special to The Journal

Tallahassee, Sept. 23.-The Journal
correspondent visited the college one
afternoon this week and had a talk
with DR.. Conrad, its president, and
Mr.. Kellum. its secretary, with regard
to the outlook for the college for the
coming term. He was advised that
there has already been enrolled and
reservations made for dormitory stu
dents to the number of 215, and every
mail is bringing applications for adj
ditional reservations. In addition to
the students that board In the dormi-
tories, there will be in attendance
from the city of Tallahassee about
fifty, which makes the enrolment be-
fore the opening of the school about
265. The attendance at the opening
of the school has never before been
this great. Nor has 1t ever been this
large during any time Of any previous
year. On walking into the once Of
the college there was felt a general
air of activity In preparation for the
opening on September 27th.
DR.. Conrad returned this week from
Ohio, where he spent his vacation.
Mrs. Cawthon has also returned as
lady principal She spent her vaca-
ton travelling in Canada She also
visited New York, Baltimore and
other points in the north. Not only
will the student body be glad to know
that Mrs. Cawthon returns 10 I'LL this
position, but the whole town of Tall
lahassee, who have had the pleasure
of meeting her, are delighted. The
other teachers are returning daily.
The students win begin to arrive Mon
day.
Although practically every room in
the dormitories have been reserved al
ready, the management is making ar
rangements to take care of all who
may come by renting cottages near
the campus for the teachers. The
large attendance of this year shows
the pressing need of additional dormi-
tory room. The recent legislature
made an appropriation Of $4,000 for
another dormitory and $500 for an
infrmary, which appropriation has
been declared available, and work
upon these buildings viii begin as
soon as an architect can prepare
plans.

WILL REPRESENT FRANCE IN
INTERNATIONAL BALLOON RACE
BY Associated Press.

New York, Sept 2s.-Emile DuBon-
nett and PIERRE Dupont, the two
French aeronauts who will represent
France in the forthcoming interna-
tional balloon race which starts from
Kansas City, are expected to arrive
here next week on the steamship Sa-
vote.
Their balloon Is said to be the
highest ever built for a race Of this
character. 1t Is constructed entirely
of pure Japanese silk, specially
woven and is snow white. In order to
resist the effects of the suns rays the
material has been treated with oil by
special process and thus made al
most completely impremeable and of
amazing strength.
The balloon weighs about $50 pounds
less than those which will ba used by
the American entrants in tie race.
